Planet Express: Hangover With Pictures, part 1
By Yubbles
Fry had just woken up with the worst hang-over ever! It wasn't your usual hangover either. He had no alcohol yesterday or the day before... or so he thought. He shook it off and got up. He got dressed and ate, pausing at the mirror for a quick peek to see if he looked good enough to go outside. When he looked in the mirror, he didn't see a reflection. Everything was black. Smoke began to spread throughout the blackness, and soon, Fry saw an image on Bender making brunch and the professor testing his new wormhole.
Fry: Wow, I must've drank a crap load yesterday... but... ah whatever.
He headed out to work and came a bit late, but that wasn't unusual for him. He went to check if there was a package to deliver, and sure enough there was. The crew got into the ship and headed off for the delivery.
Bender: Hey meatbag, what's up with you today?
Leela: Probably hung over. Wouldn't be surprised.
Fry: I dunno, I'm just feeling under the weather, that's all.
Brender: Or, you just could be hung over from that hell of a party we had yesterday!
Fry: What part?
Leela: The one that you dropped unconscious at. Everyone (by that I mean me and Bender) had to drag you back to your apartment. You literally drank a tub full of liquor.
Fry: I don't remember anything like that!
Bender: 'Cause you were unconscious!
Fry: But... ah, what's the use.
The delivery went off without a hitch, for once, and the crew were headed back to Planet Express.
Bender: Man! That delivery was awesome! We were all like 'here's your package' and he's like,'thanks' and we're like 'have a nice day!' To celebrate, I'm making everyone at Planet Express brunch!
That word made Leela and Fry twitch involuntarily. Brunch meant one thing, and one thing only... CHEESE IT!
Leela: Alright guys, we head for the ship, and hide under the polar icecaps for a few weeks.
Everyone: Good idea!
Amy: Let's just hope Bender doesn't--
Bender: Doesn't what?
Amy: Doesn't... uh...
Fry: Uh, you know! Start without us!
Amy:(whispering) Nice save!
Bender: Why in the world would I start without my best friends, now let's get cracking, chop chop, stop crying Amy, take that gun away from your head professor!
Professor: Oh so close... *puts gun down*
Once Bender had retreated to the kitchen, the Professor began to show his new wormhole off.
Professor: There it is *pushes button* my wormhole! Now let's get rid of this before Bender comes back!
Everyone began throwing food down the wormhole
Amy: Wait... where does this wormhole go?
Professor: Hmm... I don't quite know...
(Meanwhile) Zoidberg is in the dumpster when Benders food falls in and lands beside the doctor.
Zoidberg: What's this, what's this? A free meal? It's about time!
(Back at Planet Express) Fry is sitting at the couch, staring at the TV turned off. He began thinking about this morning. He had seen the exact same thing that just happened in the mirror. Was this a coincidence? Probably.
Leela: Fry? Fry! You okay?
Fry: Huh? What? Oh, hi Leela, what's up?
Leela: You okay? Did you accidentally eat some of Benders cooking?
Fry: No, it's just... nevermind. It's nothing.
Leela: Alright, if you insist.
Fry stood up and looked out the window. It was dark outside, causing the glass to act as a mirror. Fry looked at it and saw smoke appearing on the black surface. The smoke started clearing out, and he saw Leela walking outside, when a man with a mask jumped out and mugged her.
Fry: Oh man, I swear I'm going crazy...
He left Planet Express and slowly walked home, thinking of what he had just seen.
Fry woke up, he hangover had not left yet. He ignored it and washed his face, brushed his teeth, and went to the office, snacking on a bagel on the way there. He arrived on time this time, and he saw Leela sitting at the table, slightly bruised.
Fry: Woah! What happened to you?
Leela: Some masked guy mugged me on my way home.
Fry: Wait, what? Woah! That's... wow...
Leela: It's not that big a deal, he only took $20 and a magazine.
Fry: No, it's not that.. I mean... I need to think
Leela: (mumbling) that's a first
Fry ran into the washroom and splashed water onto his face. He wasn't asleep, two visions he had seen had happened exactly like he had seen in a mirror. Was he finally cracking up, was he going crazy? Or was this something else...
