Futurama

After traveling for most of the morning, Colonel Potter ordered that the convoy stop for lunch. As of now, Fry, Leela and Amy were seated at a wooden picnic table, eating what seemed like to be food. Bender had opted to join Klinger in cooking the camps meal. Fry and Leela sat next to each other, while Amy sat opposite of Leela. Fry was eating with one hand, while the other was in his jacket pocket fubbling with a black velvet box.

God is she beautiful, Leela, from the moment I met you, I knew you were the only one for me. I know you have rejected me countless times, and I still chased after you. This past couples of months has been the happiest in my entire life. Turanga Leela, will you marry me, Philip J. Fry?

Fry thought in his head, going over his proposal. Sure it wasn’t the most romantic moment he could have picked, but he just couldn’t help it, he had waited to long for this moment. Suddenly Fry stopped eating, Leela looked up at him as got up from their table, wondering what he was doing. He walked around in front of Leela and got down on one knee in the dirt. He took Leela’s hand, as she was now facing him, and began

“Leela, from the moment we met, I knew you were the only one for me. I know you have rejected my advances countless times, and yet I always kept asking you out.”

Tears began to form in Leela’s eye, sensing what was coming. Fry reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box and opened it, reveling a pretty good-sized diamond, mounted on a simple gold band.

“Turanga Leela, will you marry me?” Fry said, finally noticing that Leela was crying with joy.

“Yes, I will!” Leela managed to say after the tears stopped. Fry slipped the ring on her finger, then the couple embraced in tight hug.

After several moments, there was applause as people began to notice what had just happened. Fry and Leela broke the hug, and Leela stood back and looked at the ring that now was on her finger.

Amy to was looking at the rock that glistening in the sunlight, she was actually a bit jealous that Leela was actually getting married before her.

“Splugh Fry, how much did that rock cost?” Amy asked

“Um, I don’t really remember. I got it a while ago. There was a jewelry store that was going put of business and I got a great deal on it.” Fry answered

After catching the glint from the diamond, Bender left the chow line and proceeded over to where his friends were. The robot then saw what had caught his attention. He went to Fry and slapped him on the back, almost causing Fry to fall on the ground.

“Congratulations meat bag, at least now I won’t have to listen to you cry yourself to sleep anymore.” Bender said.

“What did you say Bender?” Leela asked accusingly

“Oh well after every rejection he cried and man was that annoying. And then he would keep on playing that damn holophoner.” Bender said nonchalantly.

Leela couldn’t believe the words that came out of the robots mouth.

“Well, gluh Leela its about time that you two finally got hitched.” Amy said

“Amy can we have a girl talk in my cabin?’

Amy nodded and the two women went towards the PE ship.

“Hey Fry, I get to be your best man right?” Bender said

“Bender, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Fry said putting his hand around the robot. Everyone came by to offer their congratulations, before resuming getting everything un-packed and camp set back up.

Back on the PE ship, Leela and Amy where in conversation with each other, about Fry.

“Well Leela, I have to say that before you started dating, I always thought you were kind of being a bitch to him.” Amy said accusingly.

“I know Amy, I’ve been so curel to him over these past few years. I mean I’ve been as stupid as him not realize how much he loves me. I’m still amazed that he hasn’t found a suicide booth.” Leela said

“Leela, you know Fry will do anything for you. Just wondering though, how good was he compared to Zapp?” Amy asked with a mischievous look in her eyes.

“Oh my god Amy, I think he’s the best I’ve had. Compared to Fry, Zapp was just plain awful.”

“Really? Well when I was dating him he was decent, but his size didn’t really help him much. I mean you remember that time when we were at the sauna?”

“Oh yeah, well actually I think he’s gotten bigger since then.” Leela said, snickering a little.

“Have you talked about kids yet?” Amy asked

“Not yet, but I was thinking about maybe one or two. But you think Fry could handle being a father?”

“Well gluh, you know as well as I do that Fry will do anything for you, and I’m sure the same will apply to your kids.” Amy said

“Well ,thanks Amy, this talk really helped.” Leela said. The two then left the cabin, Amy slipping on something and falling down, and went back to see what trouble Fry and Bender were getting into.

After seeing that most the Post-op and OR were set up, Col. Potter ordered that the wounded be brought in from the PE ship. Once the wounded were all set up and taken care of, Colonel Potter went over to thank the Planet Express crew for what they’ve done.

Fry, Leela, Bender, and Amy were standing in front the main gear of the ship, about ready to board their ship.

“Well, thank you for your help, and its been a quite an experience having you here.” Potter said

“Oh well thank you sir. It wasn’t anything.” Leela said

“Well, you’ll always be remembered here at the 4077^th. And congratulations, And Mr. Fry, can see you a moment?’” Potter said.

Fry shrugged and went over to the colonel. Potter put his arm around Fry. Then in a grandfatherly voice, began to say “Well son, I’m offering you some advice, when your wife asks you to do something you better do it.” Potter said

“Yes sir, I’ll remember that.” Fry said and then walked over to where his friends were.

All the rest of the camp came by and said they’re goodbyes, and before they took off, the group posed for a picture. The PE crew then ascended back into the ship and prepared for take off. The 4077^th personnel waved as the green space ship lifted off and left Earth’s atmosphere.
