Leela stood in shock in the alleyway , as the man held his hand over her mouth. She couldn't see a thing except a dull light from the street. Leela could tell that the man was waiting for two robots to pass them before he let her go.
After the two robots passed the street in front of them , the man then slowly took his hand away from her mouth , not knowing that Leela was about to slash out. Leela surprisingly bent her leg , then kicked the man in the knee with her high heeled shoe , making him fall to the ground yelling.
She then jumped back , grabbed her bag , and ran out onto the street , looking into the dark alleyway. " Who's there? " she shouted angrily , trying to find where he was. Then all of a sudden limping footsteps came closer to her.
Leela then slowly stepped back, feeling afraid. As the footsteps got closer Leela's eye widened as the man , appeared out of the shadows of the alleyway. " FRY " she shouted. " What the hell do you think your doing? " she yelled at him . But Fry just stood there gazing at her.
" You Asshole why did you do that? , what the he... " but Leela slowly stopped talking as she looked at they way he was dressed. He was an absolute mess. His hair was all messy and sticking out, his two orange spikes were squint. He also had a bit of facial hair growing.
His clothes were so much different to what he used to wear. He wore his usual blue jeans , but then were such a mess, you could see the top of his white shirt. But instead of his red jacket , he wore a Brown one which was zipped the whole way up to his neck.
" Fry , What the hell has happened to you? " Leela asked. But Fry just continued to gaze at her as if he hadn't seen her in years. " What's wrong with you? , stop looking at me like that? " she shouted.
But Fry just continued to look at her. By now Leela was getting worried , " Fry , answer me forgot sake " she yelled at him. " Oh , Leela you don't how long I've been waiting to see you " he muttered. " What? " she replied bewildered.
" Leela , I can't believe I'm seeing you right now , god it's been so long " he said again slowly walking up to her. Leela then froze as Fry slowly , walked up to her. He then gazed into her eye, and quickly grabbed her and kissed her.
But Leela , immediately pushed him off , making him fall to the floor. " What the hell are you doing? " she screamed at him. " I'm sorry , It's just I haven't seen you , in 3 years " he replied pushing himself up from the ground , and brushing the dust from his coat.
Leela slowly scowled at him , " What? , Fry you saw me not 2 hours ago ". Fry then smiled and rubbed his head, " Wait a minute , what date is it " Fry said panicking. " it's valetines day " she replied scowling at him.
" oh god " he replied scratching his head , " Look , Leela I need you to come with me " Fry said holding his hand out. " Where? " Leela asked. " Never mind where , just some where , away from here , somewhere far away , Please! I need you " he shouted holding out his hand again.
But Leela just stared at his hand and stepped back. " Fry , you've gone nuts " she replied pulling away. " Look , Leela if you don't come with me now , something bad will happen to you , and this time I won't be their to save you , I can't go through another 3 years without you ".
Leela just stared at Fry , with her mouth opened and looking at him angrily. " Get away From me Fry " she shouted and ran along the street as fast as she could. " Leela wait! " Fry shouted as he watched her run along the street. But Leela just ignored him , and kept on running.
" So , she stood you up " Amy asked Fry as they sat together in the Planet Express Lounge. " Ha! , I knew she'd do that , see Fry , that's how selfish she is " Amy said angrily sitting back in the chair , and resting her feet up on the table.
" Yeah , I guess your right " Fry replied sighing, " I just never thought she's actually do it , I mean I never knew Leela was that type of person ". " Well now you know " Amy added scrolling her eyes over a magazine.
Fry then just slowly nodded and rested his head in his arms. " I just feel so stupid ". Amy then looked up at him , and smiled. " Don't be she...". But Amy immediately stopped talking when both of them turned their heads, to the door hearing someone stamping their feet , along the ground.
Then all of a sudden the doors of the lounge slid open and in came Leela with an angry look on her face. " Fry , you Asshole " Leela shouted pointing at him. " I'd say that's the other way around " Fry said standing up and facing her.
" Excuse me " . " You stood me up last night , you made me stand their like an idiot , for about half and hour". " Fry , I stood you up because you followed me outside my house , and grabbed me , while I was heading along the street".
" You scared the living daylights out of me , not only that , but you started talking a load of crap , like you were drunk ". Fry obviously not knowing what she was, talking about stepped back and looked at her bewildered.
" What? " he asked , " I didn't do that to you , I was standing outside Elzars waiting on you the whole time ". " No , Fry You followed me along the street , and grabbed me scaring me , and plus you were wearing a brown coat and you looked a mess".
" Oh yeah " Amy added interupting their argument , " that reminds me , last night you came to my door , looking for Leela , you said you were in a hurry , and you were wearing a brown jacket just as you said".
Fry then screwed up his face , and looked at Amy and Leela having no idea what they were on about. " You two have gone nuts " he said turning away from them. " No , Fry I think your the one that's gone nuts " Amy added as he headed out the lounge ignoring her.
Bender strutted along the pavement ,from planet express , with his arms moving back and forth, and a cigar hanging out his mouth. It was a beautiful sunny , and he felt happy , and looking forward to getting drunk with Fry.
As he headed passed an alleyway , he heard a voice that he recognised. " Psst! Bender " the voice said. Bender quickly stopped and turned his mechanical head , to see who was calling him. " FRY " he said , who was crouched behind a bin.
" What the hell happened to you? " Bender asked him staring at the mess he was in. " Hey , what happened to your red jacket? ". " Never mind Bender , look Where's Leela I need to find her?" Fry asked stepping out from behind the bin.
" Why the hell do you want to see , the eyeball? , when she stood you up last night " Bender asked Fry , who was brushing of dirt from his clothes. " What? oh never mind , look I really need to find her , before 4 o' clock to day , it's urgent ".
Bender just stared at him , before pointing to the planet express building. " She's where she usually is at this time ". " OK , could you tell her to meet me here" , " Why , do I have to, can't you ? " .
" Look , Bender just do it " Fry shouted , making people stare at him as they passed. " Alright , alright I'll do it Jeez" , Bender replied walking away leaving Fry , who immediately ran back behind the bin.
" Hey eyeball " Bender shouted as he headed into the lounge area where Leela was. " The meatbag wants to you meet , him down town". "Why? " Leela asked confused. " I don't know , I just passed him on the street , a minute ago , and their he was sitting behind a bin".
" I can tell you , he looked as if he hadn't washed in a week". " But , I just spoke to him not 5 minutes ago " Leela replied knowing something funny was going on. " Well , all I know is that...". " Hey Leela " Amy called as she walked into the Lounge interupting Bender.
" Fry , just told me he wants you to meet him over at that coffee shop ". Leela then looked out the window and across the street , to where the coffee shop was standing , then turned her head back to Bender and Amy.
" OK , something funny going on here " Leela added sitting down rubbing her head. " First of all I get kidnapped by Fry , out of the blue , secondly you two are saying I've to go and meet up with him when He's...".
As Leela continued to talk , the normal Fry walked through the doors , making everyone gasp. " What the.." Bender shouted as he looked at Fry. " How the hell did you manage to get cleaned up that quick? " Bender asked Fry.
But Fry just looked at him weirdly. " Fry , what are you doing here ? , you just told me you were meeting Leela , down at the coffee shop ". " No I didn't " Fry added. " Yes you did , you did it to Bender as well ".
" uh , what are you guys talking about? , I've been here the whole time , I didn't ask yous to tell Leela to meet up with me ". As the 3 crew member stood arguing , Leela sat in the corner trying to pull together , what was going on.
" Fry , stop playing a stupid trick on us , we saw you standing outside , you asked us.." , " Amy , SHUT UP !" Leela shouted. Amy then closed her mouth and stared at Leela along with Fry and Bender doing the same thing.
" OK , Something funny is definitely going on here , Fry what the hell do you think your doing to us? " . Bender and Amy then turned their heads and scowled at Fry , who was standing there all innocent like. " Uh , what are you talking about? , I'm not doing anything , Why are you all ganging up on me like this? ".
But the three of them just continued to stare at him , with their angry faces. " Look , I've done nothing wrong , How can I be in 2 places at once? ". But they just continued to glare at him with their angry faces.
" Alright fine , I'm going " Fry said to them scowling before, he turned his back and left the lounge area. Fry then slowly headed outside where the place he felt happy , the coffee shop. He smiled , and sat down and grabbed the menu which was facing him.
As he scrolled over the Menu he heard a voice , next to him. He then placed the Menu , down on the table , and gasped as an exact duplicate of him , stood facing him , with a brown jacket on , the to Fry's just glared at each other in shock.
Fry could not believe his eyes , as his duplicate stood in front of him. " What the hell are you doing here " Fry shouted angrily , making everyone around in the coffee shop stare at him. " Follow me , and I'll explain everything " Fry's duplicate replied , before crossing the road , and heading into an alleyway.
Fry then slowly but surely , followed feeling a bit afraid. " Where are you? " Fry shouted down the dark alleyway. " Over here " a voice replied from behind the bins. Fry then slowly headed , screwing up his face at the smell coming from the bins and the flies around him. " OK , explain to me how this is possible, how on earth did you get here? , where are you from? ".
Fry asked his duplicate who was sitting down on the ground crouched up. " Well , I'm you 3 years from now , I'm came back here to do one thing , I'm going to do it , something very important , and I need your help". Fry then raised and eyebrow , pulled over a box from a nearby bin , and sat down.
" OK , but how dd you manage to come back in time"?. Fry's duplicate the rumaged in his pocket , pulling out a piece of scrunched up paper , revealing rows of numbers. " It's the timecode , I managed to write it down , before Nibbler zapped it off my butt , I knew it would come in handy one day , and it did ".
Fry looking down at the scrunched up paper , thought for a minute before passing it back to his duplicate. " OK , what are you wanting me to help you with ?".
" I need you to tell Leela , to meet me here , it's very important , I need her " Fry's duplicate replied , placing the piece of screwed up paper back in his pocket. But Fry's face immediately screwed up , the minute he said those last few words.
" Hey wait a minute " Fry moaned , " your wanting Leela so , you can take her away from me , that's why you were bugging Bender and Amy , well you can get lost " , Fry shouted before storming off down the corridor.
" No wait " Fry's duplicate shouted standing up , but Fry just continued down the corridor. " Look , if you don't help me now Leela will die". Fry then immediately stopped and turned his head slowly , raising an eyebrow , "What do you mean she'll die?.
" Leela's going to die , what are you talking about? " Fry shouted at his duplicate in the alleyway. " Look , just calm down " Fry's duplicate said , sitting him down onto a box next to him. " The Only reason I came back in time was to save Leela ".
Fry duplicate added, watching Fry who was sitting trying to hold back his tears. " I am from the year 3012 , and today at 3009 , at 4 o'clock something terrible happened". " I was sitting at the coffee shop , drinking a coffee as usual , I was fed up and had just had a row with Leela Bender and Amy".
" As I sat , Leela came out Planet Express must have saw me across the street , tried to cross , but she was hit by some drunk driver in a hover car". " She died instantly". " I went through 3 years with out her , knowing I'd never see her again , but realised I had the time code , and then it donned on me ".
" So that's why I came back in time , to save Leela , but I need you help will you help me? ". But Fry just sat staring at his duplicate not knowing what to believe. He then raised his eyebrow , and folded his arms. " OK , I'll help " he eventually said making his duplicate smile.
" I think we were a bit harsh on Fry " Leela said as she sat with Amy in the Planet Express Lounge watching all my circuits. " Maybe , I should go and talk to him " , " Spleesh , Leela what's the point , he's been playing silly tricks on us".
But Leela slowly shook her head , and grabbed her coat which was draped along a chair , " No , something funny is going on , I'll see you later " , Leela said to Amy before she left the room , Amy as usual just waved at her being stuck up.
Outside Leela stood , with her hand over her eye , trying to shield it from the sun which was beaming down upon her. She slowly looked at the other side of the street , trying to look for Fry. As she looked she caught a glimpse of Bender who was standing behind a guy, stealing his wallet out the back of his trousers.
She smiled , then making sure there was nothing coming headed along the street. But all of a sudden she heard something , she looked to her left , and a hover car , was coming towards her full speed. Leela screamed at the top of her voice , but then was pushed out of the way of the hover car.
She then fell onto the pavement banging her head off the lampost. But hearing a huge screech , and huge bang , and everyone around her gasped. Leela quickly got herself up , and turned round to see a crowd of people behind her.
Leela could tell it was someone she knew , pushing passed the crowd she gasped as Bender sat on the ground trying to comfort his best friend , who was face down on the ground unconscious.
" Fry " Leela screamed as she fell to the ground in tears. She then placed her hand on his shoulder and looked at his with tears flowing down her cheek. But then all of a sudden , she heard a voice from behind her , " Leela ". Leela quickly got up and gasped , as the Fry she knew stood behind , with not a scratch on him.
Leela just ran towards him , throwing her arms around his neck , and kissing him. While the Fry on the ground , slowly turned his head and smiled as he saw Leela giving Fry a kiss. He closed his eyes then , slowly let his head fall to the ground.
