Futurama Porno Story: Minds Apart Chapter 1

Good news everyone, said Farnsworth approaching the meeting table.

Ive been invited to attend this years LUNATIC awards on the West Coast.

Lunatic? asked Fry, bewildered. Yikes! Hes actually admitting hes
insane, he thought.

Youve never heard of The LUNATIC awards Fry? asked Leela

Uh, eh, no cant say I have answered Fry.

Its the Los Angeles, Universal And NATional Inventors Conference, said
Amy its very prestigious, only the best scientists and inventors are
asked to attend

How the hell did old urine pants get an invite then? Asked Bender.

Apparently there is a joke in the name but Im blowed if I can find it
said Farnsworth.

Uh huh said Fry, twirling his finger next to his ear.

He felt someone kick him beneath the table, Leela coughed and looked at
him. He got the hint.

So when do you leave? asked Leela.

Today answered the Professor Now if youll excuse me I have to go pack
and write my dictators victory speech, I, er, I mean my award winners
speech.

With that Farnsworth disappeared upstairs to his apartment.

Ok den people said Hermes, Now as dere is no delivery today other than
dropping off the Professor

I know where Id like to drop him off, said Bender, interrupting

I suggest dat we give the building a good clean and general tidy up,
prior to him leaving Continued Hermes We dont want to give da customers
a bad impression

Then how come Fry still works here then? Asked Bender with a malicious
chuckle.

Hey said Fry.

*****************************************************************

A short time later found the staff of Planet Express busying themselves,
cleaning up the interior of the building,

Leela was in the ships hanger sorting through the crates of packing
materials and spare parts for the ships. Dr Zoidberg was in the medical
room,

Hmm I better check ze expiry dates on ze contents of the medical supplies

He opened the pharmaceuticals cupboard and began to check the individual
bottles and containers

Letz zee, Ok Too berrr 2987, said Dr Zoidberg vell I zink zats still
good for a while, Janoo harry 2993, yes zats ok

Amy was tidying up the meeting table area, chipping Frys used gum off the
underside of the table,

Ewwww, this ones all hairy she screamed.

Bender was cleaning up the TV lounge and inspecting the comfort of the
couch and the efficiency of the television at displaying the All My
Circuits omnibus.

Fry was in the professors lab; he was looking at the professors black
board.

Man, said Fry they say my spellings bad, but the professors is even
worse, he gets letters, numbers and pluss all mixed up together, I dont
even know what this is, a sum or a sentence

He looked at the characters on the board, written in Farnsworths scrawl

E=MC2 = (G + C3-(x(15x(M x2(((((0.5(x2(

Meh said Fry pressing the boards erase button. The Formula disappeared

Fry looked around the lab; his eyes fell upon a strange looking device
sitting on a trolley in one corner of the lab.

The Device looked similar to two submarine periscope eyepieces connected by
some complex looking electronic components.

Above the eyepieces were metal skullcaps like those on an electric chair.
Either side of the eyepieces where earpieces and below these where a
keyboard and a pistol grip, and trigger arrangement.

Cool the professors built a videogame, he said twisting some knobs and
pressing buttons randomly

Fry stood in front of the machine and looked through the eyepiece, he
noticed that he could see right through the device and out the other
eyepiece

The device started up automatically, a boot up sequence appeared.

ST Boot-up Sequence Initialised”

A list of checks began to scroll up past his eyes on the transparent
screen between the eyepieces

Coool said Fry wonder what its about

At that moment an eye, fringed by purple hair appeared at the other
eyepiece

FRY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! shouted Leela.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH screamed Fry startled.

He shot back from the machine, banging his head on the skullcap and at the
same time pulling the devices trigger

There was blinding flash of light.

Both Fry and Leela noticed that it seemed to come from behind their eyes.

Time seemed to slow down and speed up at the same time.

They felt themselves hit the floor in slow motion and at speed
simultaneously.

Fry opened his eyes.

He was lying on the floor, a few feet from the machine.

His head hurt. Badly

His mind began to function again

Leela! He thought, I heard her scream!

He got up and looked around

Leela lay crumpled next to the machine

Fry rushed over to her

Leela? Leela are you ok? he asked shaking her by the shoulder

Her eye snapped open Yes Fry, no thanks to you, you thundering moron, what
did you do?

Me? said Fry If you hadnt a scared the shit outta me than this wouldnt
a happened!

Oh really? Replied Leela, sternly, as she got up. Whys that?

You made me jump, I must a pushed a button or something, I guess said Fry
sheepishly. Well at least nothing seems to be broken and your not hurt,
Leela

Apart from your brain spat Leela angrily, trying to hide the fact she did
play a part in the incident.

Come on lets get out of here before you do break something said Leela
the machine looks ok, luckily for you

Ok Ok said Fry timidly before muttering Its always my fault! under his
breath.

They walked out of the professors lab trying not to look guilty of
anything, though in Frys case he wished he were guilty of doing something
else with Leela in the lab.

Fry, go and help Amy clean the underside of the table, you cant damage
that said Leela.

What did he break now! asked Hermes apprehensively

Nothing replied Fry and Leela simultaneously

I was just making sure he wasnt around anything he could break, said
Leela

She cringed as soon as she said it, knowing how useless it would make Fry
feel.

He did panic when I didnt get up she thought, He doesnt always think of
himself first. And why do I feel so light-headed.

The sensation passed

Fry walked over to Amy, who handed him a hammer and a chisel. He too felt
light-headed for an instant.

Try using a trash can for your gum in future, Fry said Amy
Eeeeeeeeeewwww

Fry got under the table and started to chip away at the offending pieces of
gum

Here Fry, said Amy you might need these she handed Fry a pair of
protective goggles.

I dont need those Amy, said Fry Ill just close my eyes.

Well if youre sure Fry, said Amy.

Leela headed back over to the ship. A scream pierced the air a few seconds
later.

OOOOOOWWWWWWW yelled Fry My thumb!

****************************************************************

A couple of hours later found Fry still chipping away at a stubborn piece
of gum, though he was now wearing the goggles.

Amy was fixing herself something to eat in the kitchen area.

Leela was discussing the details of the impending flight to Los Angeles
with Hermes in his office.

Amy was chewing her first mouthful of Martian style Cantonese Noodles when
she heard a bang come from the direction of the meeting table.

She looked over and saw Fry leaning heavily on the table, the hammer lying
on the floor where it fell

Frys eyes where shut tight, a mask of pain in his face.

Amy ran over to him.

Fry, whats wrong She asked.

I Dunno said Fry between strained gasps My heads really killing me!

The door to Hermess office flew open, the Rastafarian appeared in the
doorway.

Someone come quickly somethings wrong with Leela, shes fainted! he
shouted.

Amy looked at Hermes and then back at Fry unsure of whom to help.

Fry looked at her Go! See if Leelas alright, Ill be fine he said
clutching his head.

Amy ran over to Hermes.

In his office she saw Leela lying crumpled on the floor. The young Cyclops
was groaning softly.

What happened Hermes? she asked

I dont know Amy she complained that her head was getting sore then she
fainted! said Hermes

Frys head hurting him too she answered.

Hermes pressed a button on his office intercom Zoidberg get your shell
over here now!

*****************************************************************

A few minutes later found Fry and Leela sat side by side on the bed in
Zoidberg’s office. Zoidberg, Hermes and Amy stood in front of them a
concerned look on their faces

So what the diagnosis Dr Zoidberg? Asked Amy

Vell, to be honest I dont have a clue answered the lobster

Then what the hell do I employ you for? yelled Hermes

Uh my astonishing good looks and my rapier vit? answered Zoidberg

Hermes glared at the crustacean.

Maybe its something they picked up on a delivery, said Amy

Oh you zink? Vhen did you become zee company doctor? How come zen Bender
is Ok? said Zoidberg

G,uh! Because hes a robot, genius! said Amy

Look, said Leela Maybe weve just been working to hard and need a rest?

Well I can buy dat on your part Leela, said Hermes though Im not so
sure about Fry

Hey! said Fry, before groaning and clutching his head again. Uhhhhhh!

Leela too clutched her head.

Fry looked up again Hes not that lazy! He said, before shaking his head
slightly, a puzzled look came over his face. I mean Im not that lazy.

He looked at Leela for a moment puzzled, but unsure of why.

He noticed she was looking back at him equally puzzled.

Ok said Hermes You can both have the rest of the day off to go home and
rest, but I want you back here tomorrow so the doctor here can give you
both a thorough medical examination

Thank you Hermes, said Leela.

Yeah thanks, agreed Fry

Right lets get you two home, said Hermes Its my bureaucratic duty to
escort the more senior employee home so Ill help Leela, Amy you can take
the wage slave home

Amy and Fry both glared at him but said nothing.

The two groups left the PE building, Hermes helped Leela into his standard
central bureaucracy department issue Ford Gemini, and Amy helped fry into
her shiny new ThunderCougarFalconBird convertible.

Hey Amy said Fry When did you get the new car?

After the insurance money came through from when Zoidberg crashed it, she
answered subconsciously rubbing the small scar on her neck she got as an
indirect result of the crash. And my parents gave me some money for a new
one as well! she continued in a slightly more subdued tone.

Fry groaned again as the pain in his head returned.

At the same time in Hermess car Leela felt her head begin to thump again.

The journey to their respective apartments was a silent one, save for the
occasional pain induced groan.

*****************************************************************

Amy and Fry arrived at Robot Arms Apartments. Amy parked in the garage
below the building. She helped fry get out of the car and they walked over
to the elevators.

Fry saw a sign stuck on the elevator door.

Aw crap! he said

What? asked Amy Catching him up after locking her car.

The elevators out said Fry well have to use the stairs

Oh said Amy what floor is benders apartment on?

The 1100101stsaid Fry, casually

What! yelled Amy.

Huh? said Fry Oh sorry that was in binary, I get that from living with
bender I guess

Phew! said Amy you had me worried there, what floor is it in decimal?

Deciwhat? asked Fry, bewildered.

Normal numbers said Amy annoyed.

The 101st said Fry

Hum kah chan! said Amy

*************************************************************

Leela and Hermes arrived at Leela’s apartment block about half an hour
later.

Mon! That was some three dimensional traffic jam, said Hermes getting out
of he car

Yeah said Leela through the pain in her head, as she opened the apartment
block door. You dont often see that theses days

And that screen washer guy at the stop light, you think theyll be able to
remove that squeegee? said Hermes as he began climbing the three flights
of stairs to apartment 1i.

Yeah Hermes said Leela in a moment of painlessness they can surgically
remove any thing nowadays

Leela unlocked her front door Hermes helped her in.

****************************************************************

About the same time at Robot Arms, two gasping figures appeared out of the
stairwell on the 101st floor.

Poq Gai! Said Amy Thank god thats over

She looked at Fry. He hadnt looked that well to begin with, he looked even
worse now, his face was bright red and sweating profusely, gasping for air
and clutching the handrail to keep him upright.

HoHolyHoly Shit! Thats some climb! he finally managed to spit out
between gasping in lungfull’s of air.

You got that right, said Amy who was also gasping for breath though not
quite as hard as Fry.

Come on then Fry lets get you to bed she continued, unlocking the door to
benders apartment.

Yeah said Fry weakly holding his head.

***************************************************************

Leela walked towards her bedroom as Hermes closed the front door behind
him.

She felt the pain in her head return as she took off her jacket; she went
to steady herself against the wall.

You ok Leela? asked Hermes.

*****************************************************************

Across town Fry too felt the pain return, he sat down on his bed, Amy took
of his jacket, she noticed the grimace on his face.

It still hurts, huh? she asked.

Mmm Hmmm answered Fry through gritted teeth.

Come on then she said softly. Lets get you to bed she began to pull
Frys shirt over his head.

Fry felt the pain in his head increase he clenched his eyes in an effort to
escape the pain.

Frys eyes flickered open. A look of confusion appeared on his face.

****************************************************************

Hermes, having received no answer to his question, moved over to Leela,
concerned by her silence.

She turned her head and looked at him.

Where am I said Leela,

At home answered Hermes.

She looked at Hermes strangely. Hey youre not Amy.

There was a brief pause, before she spoke again.

Hey wheres Amy.

Uh with Fry responded Hermes, confused.

Leela spoke again, yeah she is, isnt she!

****************************************************************

Across town at the same instant Fry Looked at Amy

Hey Amy howd you get here? He asked.

Well Guh! I took you home.

He stopped for a second, a blank look flashed across his face.

Yeah I know.

Amy Looked at Fry.

Fry now you babbling worse than you usually do! she said, helping him off
with his jeans and into bed, tucking him in.

Try and get some sleep ok? she cooed softly.

Ok answered Fry closing his eyes, before drifting quickly off.

****************************************************************

Leela sat down on her bed, Hermes, folded up her jacket and put it away in
her wardrobe.

Ill have Dr Zoidberg give you and fry a thorough medical exam tomorrow
ok, just try and get some rest. Said Hermes as he closed the door to
Leelas bedroom.

I will, Hermes, thanks, said Leela

No Problem. Said Hermes from the other side of the door.

Leela heard her front door shut. She took off the rest of her clothing,
took the scrunchie out of her hair and slipped in the welcoming embrace of
her bed.

She closed her eyes and felt the reassuring grip of sleep creep into her
body.

*****************************************************************

Fry opened his eyes.

Something didnt feel right to him. He soon figured out why.

He was floating in his room a few inches from the ceiling.

Fry instinctively made a grab for something to prevent him from falling.

The only thing he found was the light fixing.

Fry grabbed it and held on.

Whoooooooa! He thought, Ok I aint falling so I think I can let go of the
light

He looked at his hands grasping the fixing; he noticed he could see through
them.

Aww shit! Im dead, he thought, I must a had another soft drink induced
heart attack!

He turned his head and looked down at his bed.

He got quite a shock when he saw his body was still lying in bed, breathing
and apparently asleep.

1.1 Whooo hooo! Ok so Im not dead, Im just having one of those out of
body experience thingies.

He let go of the light; he stayed where he was, floating next to the
ceiling.

Coooooool! he said, he noticed his voice seemed different, as though it
had no physical presence and was merely an extension of his thoughts.

Wonder if I can move around, he said to himself quietly.

Fry found that he could move around the room simply by thinking it.

He glided around the apartment in the dark. He opened the door to Bender’s
room.

Fry flew over Bender,

Hehehehe chuckled Fry, to himself.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooo, he wailed, Bender! Bender! I, am a Ghost!

Bender didnt move, he simply turned round in his alcove and muttered to
himself.

NnnnnuhhhhhhhKill all humans

Crud! said Fry He cant hear me

Ah Screw this, said Fry Im gonna see if I can fly outside

He moved over to the window. He was about to try and open it, when he had a
thought.

Hey if Im out of my body then I should be able to go through the window.

Fry moved closer to the window; he concentrated and slid forward.

He felt himself move through the window, or rather felt the window move
through him since it was still solid.

Weeeeeiirrrrrd! Thought Fry.

He looked down.

Jaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuss!

He suddenly remembered that benders apartment was on the 101st floor. The
ground obscured by the dark of the night, far below.

Man, thats a long way down, said Fry

An insane thought suddenly struck him.

Fry set off towards the ground as fast as he could, screeching like a
German Stuka bomber in a war movie. His arms outstretched like wings.

The ground rapidly came into view.

The specs of light growing into lampposts, road signs and car headlights.

Fry pulled up at the last minute and swooped low over the traffic. No one
saw him save for a stray cat that ran out into the road causing a passing
car to swerve and collide with a trashcan.

Fry soared skyward again.

He flew on through the skyscrapers of New New York their windows glinting
in the moonlight.

The fact he was dressed only in a ghostly pair of light-speed briefs never
crossed his mind once.

****************************************************************

Leela lay in her bed, sleeping. She stirred and opened her eyes.

The ache in her head had gone. Her bedroom felt hot and airless. She got up
to open her recently installed window.

Something was wrong with the situation, but she couldnt place what it was.
Suddenly the realisation hit her. She had not thrown back her bedclothes
yet she could not recall them hindering her exit from the bed.

She thought about this puzzled for a moment before putting it down to her
being too tired to remember.

She passed by the mirror on her wardrobe door and she froze.

Her reflection wasnt there.

She spun around and looked back at her bed.

The sleeping form of her body still lay there, snoring quietly.

OH MY GOD she yelled, the strange tone of her voice, shocking her into
silence again.

Im out of my body, she thought, it must have something to do with the
professors machine.

Oh no! This is probably happening to Fry too! She thought. I have to go and
see if hes alright!

She walked over to her body where it lay in her bed.

She got on her bed and lay down back in her body.

She felt no noticeable difference.

OK, Here goes! she said,

Leela got up again making a conscious effort to pull back the bed sheets.
She saw her hands appear ghostlike through the sheets as she tried in vain
to grasp the bedclothes.

Damnit! said Leela

Ok then Ill just have to go like this.

She looked down at her naked, and now transparent, body.

Why did this have to happen when all my PJs are in the wash! She groaned.
Well if I cant see myself in the mirror then hopefully no one else can.

She walked over to her front door. She was about to try the handle when she
saw her hand slip through the door, unhindered.

Leela cautiously walked through the door looking around out side in case
there was someone around.

I know they cant see me but I still dont want to be naked in front of
just any one, she thought

She carefully walked done the stairs and out on to the street.

Shed gone a few paces when two people came out of the bar on the corner of
her block.

It was a guy and a girl about her age.

Leela froze for a second, and covered her breasts and crotch with her arms
and scurried into a doorway.

They walked past oblivious to her.

She crept out of the doorway, and resumed walking to Fry and Benders
apartment.

She walked past the bar; not noticing the middle aged man exiting it until
it was too late.

Leela was suddenly confronted with the man walking straight towards her,
there was nowhere to run, he was too close, she opened her mouth to say
something when he walked straight through her.

She stood there rooted to the spot.

OK, she thought, so people cant see me.

Leela regained her composure and set of again towards Frys apartment.

***************************************************************

Fry was flying through the streets of New New York at a much lower lever
than before. He was now flying between the buildings rather than above
them. Occasionally he flew through one trying in vain to frighten any one
unlucky enough to have the ability to see him.

He felt himself shiver,

How can I feel cold when I dont even have a real body, he thought to
himself, ah well I suppose I better get back

Fry began to turn himself around when he suddenly felt something unseen,
pull him onwards.

Wha! Hey I cant turn round. I must be caught in a tractor beam or
something, said Fry

He suddenly remembered where he was And who the hell am I talking to?

Wonder where its taking me? He thought, Hey! Leela lives around here.

Fry glanced at the street below him; a brief flash of purple hair in the
moonlight caused him to look again.

Hey Leela! He shouted, before he registered that she was in fact naked,

Man, I wish I could see that again, he thought, but closer, and in my body
and in her bedroom

**************************************************************

Leela heard Frys cry and glanced upwards at the source, She gasped,

Oh my god its Fry! She said hes flying and hes only wearing a pair of
light-speed briefs he could catch a chill up there!

Wait! I could see through him, she thought recalling the sight of stars
through Frys body, the same thing must have happened to him. So if he can
fly then I should be able to do it t

She never got a chance to finish her line of thought.

Leela felt herself being pulled of her feet. She felt her self-rising
through the air the flow of air chilling her body as it rushed past,
whistling in her ears.

She didnt notice the whistling she was too busy screaming.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Leela looked down and saw the streetlights of New New York passing by,
below her

She looked to see where she was heading, her eye watering in the wind, she
could barely make out the buildings she passed, she had to keep wiping away
the tears from her eye.

In the distance she could make out the shape of a large, tall, building.
The shape of it seemed quite familiar.

I think thats Robot Arms, she though to herself, though I cant be sure,
Ive never seen it from this perspective. If I m heading there, then where
is Fry going?

Leela thought about this for a split second, Oh my! she exclaimed.

Fry sped on through the sky moments after glimpsing Leela. He wasnt that
concerned about where he was going and what was happening to him, his mind
was still dwelling on the sight that had graced his eyes an few seconds
ago,

It was Leela and she was naked, he thought, she was naked out on the
street, NAKED!

He couldnt help thinking about how vulnerable and fragile she looked; it
was strange how seeing someone naked could change your perception of them.

I hope shes all right, said Fry, glancing back over his shoulder.

He cast his gaze forward again, just in time to see the wall of Leelas
apartment inches from his face.

AAAAAAA

Leela could clearly see Robot Arms Apartments, looming large in her field
of vision.

She felt herself slow a little, she saw she was heading for one window in
particular, she knew automatically whose apartment it was, she felt herself
go through the window and enter the building, she flew through the rooms of
the apartment, stopping in one in particular.

She could make out the sleeping form of Fry below her.

Leela felt herself moving closer to Frys body.

Well at least hes still breathing, she thought,

Suddenly she felt herself enter Frys body, she couldnt move, she couldnt
resist, she was helpless.

**************************************************************

Hermes arrived back at the Planet Express Headquarters, and then watched as
Amy attempted to parallel park her car, behind his and in front of some
poor innocent drivers car, only just missing both cars bumpers.

I see, youve improved your parking technique Amy, observed Hermes.

Well Buh, I missed them both, didnt I, answered Amy as she stormed into
the building.

Amy, you go and get the ship prepared, youre temporary Pilot for the trip
to LA, as Leela is unfit. Shouted Hermes after her.

OK, Ill go and get changed and meet you there, came the now distant
response.

Get changed, what on earth for, muttered a surprised Hermes, as he turned
towards the Professors Laboratory.

On his way, he passed the delivery slot, where he noticed a package had
been left, with TOP SECRET stamped all over it. He took the paper work,
and dropped it onto his desk, leaving a memo to read it on his return, then
carried on towards the Laboratory.

You infernal machine, stop beeping, yelled the Professor at the ST
Device.

Whats Up?, asked Hermes as he entered.

This invention, keeps telling me its been used, although I only just
finished it., replied Farnsworth.

Let me see it, as Hermes reached his hand out, and took the device from
Farnsworth.

Well, if I what seeing is right, it is registering as two DNA patterns
recorded., answered Hermes.

It must be faulty, like all my inventions, anyhoo, pack it into that case
instructed the Professor.

Are you ready to go now, weve got a strict schedule to keep asked
Hermes.

Uh Yeah, replied the Professor

Lets go already, said Hermes as he grabbed the case containing the ST
Device, and headed for the door, looking behind to make certain the
Professor was actually following him.

They arrived at the stairs leading up to the ship, looking around there was
no apparent sign of Amy anywhere.

Wheres Amy, shes meant to be here as Pilot, remarked Hermes

Amys pilot? wheres Leela?, asked the Professor

You old coot, we took her and Fry home ill earlier, dont you remember,
asked an exasperated Hermes.

Uh, No, came the response.

AAAMMMMYYYYYY, get your ass out here!, yelled Hermes at the top of his
voice.

Im here, and theres no need to shout, came Amys voice from within the
ship.

Oh right, sorry, replied Hermes, as he and the Professor started up the
stairs.

As they entered the Flight, they were greeted by the sight of Amy wearing a
full-length low-backed cerise dress, with a strategically placed bow across
the top of her chest, on her feet wear pair of high heeled shoes.

What do you think, good enough for the convention?, asked Amy.

Holy Lion of Zion, youre going to pilot us, wearing that, demanded
Hermes.

Yeah, why is there something wrong?, she answered in a slightly putout
manner.

Amy, were only going to LA, to drop the Professor off and then come back
here, weve got a Top Secret delivery to make on our return, he answered.

You want me to make a delivery as well?, she queried.

No, Its going to take us at least 7 hours to get there and back, so
hopefully, Leela will have recovered by then, he responded.

Oh, so I got made up for nothing, came the upset sounding response.

Yep, now lets get on our way to LA., ordered Hermes.

Hum kah chan!, replied Amy as she sat in the Pilots chair.

She turned the key to start the engines and waited until the familiar
vibration started to shake the ship, after pressing a couple more buttons,
the ship rose to a 45-degree angle, and then she pushed the throttle
forward, and they sped away from the Planet Express Building.

Amy then typed the destination co-ordinates into the Autopilot, pressed the
start button, and then headed off to get changed back into her familiar
pink shell suit.

****************************************************************

Well this is one weird dream, imagine me being involved in a body swap,
and with Fry of all people. I wonder if this has anything to do with the
accident that occurred when I caught him playing with the Professors
LUNATIC device, was the last conscious thought that passed through her
mind, before sleep took control.

After what seemed like only a few minutes, she awoke and slowly looked
around the bedroom.

What the… Im in Frys bedroom! Maybe that wasnt a strange dream I had
last night; she uttered aloud, as she noticed that her fringe of purple
hair was missing.

She instantly felt around her face and found two round eyes, instead of one
large oval eye.

This cant be! she muttered to herself in shock, as she pushed back the
sheet covering her body and noticed that she was now wearing Lightspeed
Briefs and had a severely under exercised and most importantly, male, body.

AAAAAAAAAHHH! she screamed uncontrollably.

Oh my god, oh my GOD, oh my god. She thought in panic, OK, Turanga, this
isnt what it seems; I couldnt possibly be in Frys body? Could I?

I wonder if in among all this junk strewn all over the room, Fry has a
mirror, she said to herself, noticing for the first time that she sounded
like Fry.

She started to hunt through the crap on Frys floor in search of a mirror.
After moving Frys regular clothing off the top of the pile to one side,
the first item that she came across was his Holophonr Book, which looked
like it was well used, Hes still practising, thats good wistfully
thought Leela.

After throwing some empty Slurm Cans in the direction of what looked like a
Waste Basket, she came across a scrunched up piece of paper, after
untangling it, she saw a very badly drawn picture of what looked like her
and Fry holding hands. It looks like Fry is still in Love with me,
despite all that Ive done to him recently whispered Leela remorsefully.

After throwing a heavily Slurm stained white T-shirt to one side, she
discovered a pair of her panties. What the hell, does Fry want with
these? And where did he get them from? she exclaimed astonished and
infuriated.

Id better take them back, and confront Fry after all this over as to why
he had them she hissed.

OK, no sign of a mirror on the floor, Ill have to have a look around the
room, she thought.

After inspecting the contents of Frys desk and table, she looked around
the walls and noticed just above the bed that there was a greyish
rectangular outline of where something should have been hanging on the
wall.

Hmm, looks like behind the bed is my last chance of finding one, she
thought.

After moving the bed away from the wall, she found the mirror; and stared
in disbelief at Frys Face staring back at her.

Oh My God, its actually happened, where is Fry she exclaimed aghast

The realisation hit home, the dream of Fry flying over New New York, and
her being sucked towards his apartment, was real.

Oh No, If Im in his body, then he must be in mine. She cried out aloud.

The door to Frys room opened and in walked Bender.

Morning skintube said Bender You alright? I heard some screaming n
stuff?

Bender, do you mind Im half-naked screamed a still dazed Leela, as she
instinctively covered her covered her breasts with her right arm, and her
crotch with her left hand.

Well Fry, its not as if I aint seen you undressed before, so why are you
freaking out so much? retorted Bender

Uh, sorry Bender but I had such a weird dream last night about me being
Leela She responded

OK Fry, Im not that interested, its just that your crashing around was
worse than normal answered Bender

Sorry, Im not myself, but I think the dream affected me more than I
thought, answered Leela/Fry honestly

Bender then turned around and walked out the door muttering quietly
Screwball!

Phew, that was close and Ive got to remember that Im Fry she sighed
when the door closed again

Do I keep acting like Fry? Or do I tell someone whats happened? She
thought. Its probably best if I speak to Fry first before I decide.

Id better go and find him before he gets to work, She decided mentally, so
we can work out how this happened and what we should do next?

Id better get dressed, as I cant walk around the streets like this,
people will really see me this time, she said to herself, as she bent down
and started to pull on Frys jeans.

After throwing on the rest of his clothes, she bent down and picked up her
panties and pocketed them inside the jacket.

Id better get a move on, theres no telling what sort of trouble Fry could
be having in my apartment, she thought, as she rushed out of the bedroom
and the front door.

Freakin humans! Always rushin everywhere, not like us Robots, well some
Robots, well me, muttered Bender.

***************************************************************

Fry felt himself awaken, he reached up and rubbed the sleep out of his
eyes, his brain was telling him that something was wrong, his nose felt
lower down than it usually did.

Fry dismissed this as an after effect of the stale pizza he’d found under
his bed, he didn’t recall eating it but he’d had weird dreams after doing
this before, he glanced at the ceiling and immediately noticed that a tuft
of hair partially obscured his view.

Purple hair.

He looked around him for Leela hoping he’d gotten lucky and just couldn’t
remember it.

He was alone in the bed.

The events of the night before came flooding back to him

His hands flew up to his face.

What he felt confirmed his suspicions

“Coooooooooooooooooooooool” said Fry, blinking and looking at his hands.
The skin was smoother and the hands were definitely feminine

He soon discovered that however hard he tried he could not go cockeyed with
only one eye.

He stopped suddenly as a though struck him.

Fry gingerly lifted up the blanket and gazed at the sight below.

OH MY GOD! Exclaimed fry, I’M IN LEELA’S BODY,

He clasped the blankets against him again.

He remained like this for a few seconds before taking a look under the
covers again.

“Oh my god!” he exclaimed again, in a softer voice.

A number of thoughts struck him at once, Only one of which Leela would have
approved of.

Acting on this he got up and wrapped the bedclothes around his or rather
her body,

He saw some movement out of the corner of his eye; he looked and found
himself staring at Leela, or rather at the reflection of himself in her
body in the full-length mirror on the door of the closet.

Whoa, thought Fry, this is too weird,

He moved his arm around watching the reflection do the same, trying to
confirm that this situation, however bizarre it seemed, was actually
happening.

He noticed that even first thing in the morning and with her hair down and
unkempt, Leela was still the prettiest girl he knew.

He reached for the door to Leela’s closet and missed it by a few inches. He
tried a few more times before finally managing to grab hold of the handle

Damn it! Said fry, half in realisation, half in frustration “Guess this
must be that depth perception thing Leela goes on about.

Fry searched through Leela’s closet until he found a bathrobe, which he
quickly put on trying not to stare at her naked body.

This is stupid he thought, she couldn’t know what I’ve been doing here, in
her body, I could do anything I wantYeah, but then I’d have to look her in
the eye, every time I see her.

He looked at the reflection in the mirror, and sighed.

He went to move when mischievous though crossed his mind

He stepped back in front of the mirror slipped the robe off his shoulders
and gave a little wiggle, before giggling and tying the robe shut tightly
and walking out of the bedroom.

Fry walked around Leela’s apartment; it was still just as bare as he
remembered it, apart from the recently installed window.

He looked out of the new window; there was a brick wall a few feet from it.

Nice view, he thought, sarcastically, man, am I hungry.

Fry began searching the cupboards for something to eat each one he open was
bare, until finally he opened the last cupboard. On the upper shelf there
were a few tins of assorted foods and an open box of Archduke Chocula
cereal.

On the lower shelf Fry saw some crockery and cutlery,

On closer examination Fry saw that there was one plate, one cup, one
saucer, a soup bowl, a knife, a fork and a single spoon.

“Oh Leela!” he said softly, the full extent of her lonely life hitting him.

Fry took out the one plate in the cupboard and was about to place it on the
worktop when he felt the room begin to spin around him.

Whoa!” he exclaimed, reaching for the counter.

His hand never got there. His new depth perception was seriously affecting
his ability to stay up right.

The room closed in around him.

Fry hit the ground with a thud, the plate smashing next to him,

He didn’t feel himself hit the ground; his mind was already elsewhere.

Fry opened his eyes, or eye, or what ever the hell he had now; he was still
getting used to it,

There were sparkling lights everywhere, the room was darkened, and he could
make out people moving around, dancing,

He looked down at himself or rather at Leela’s body.

He sighed,

Still here huh? He thought, and why the hell am I wearing a dress made from
old pieces of carpet?

And why am I standing here with my arm out like I’m holding someone but
there’s no one there,

He began to make out a low sound, gradually he realised it was a chant,

“One eye! One eye! One eye! One eye!

His eyes got used to the darkness surrounding the stage, he could see the
crowd around the stage pointing and staring at him.

Fry recognised one face in the crowd in particular; the average brown
dinner suit was the give away.

Adalai.

He had his arm round an average looking brunette who was giggling and
smirking at Leela

He heard Adalai shout the words “I only asked you to the prom for a dare!”
at him

I’m at Leela’s High School Prom, he thought, this must be a memory of hers.
Boy and I though my prom night was a disaster, those bastards. That
Bastard! What did she ever do to deserve this?

A voice from the crowd yelled out. Get that freaky bitch off the stage
she’s putting me off my food.

Suddenly a flash bulb went off in front of him; he felt himself stumble off
the stage, blinded by the flash, tripping over a chair in the process of
fleeing and landing in a crumpled heap to the sound of raucous laughter
from the crowd.

As he lay there, Fry felt the feeling of absolute humiliation fill his
entire body, as it was wracked with sobs.

He felt himself detach from this reality and the darkness returned to his
vision,

Slowly another reality began to filter in, one where he was being shaken,
one where some one was calling his name, where his own voice was calling
his name.

Leela saw Fry’s eye, her eye, snap open.

He stared at her for a few seconds, a bewildered look on his face, her
face.

This is SOOOOO weird, thought Leela/Fry, as she looked down at him.

The look changed to one of relief as Fry/Leela realised who it was.

“Le?Leela? Is? Is that you?” he asked in her voice.

Yes Fry it’s me? I think? I’m not you anyway! What happened too you?” she
asked

“I dunno”, he replied “I think I blacked out, I think? I think I just saw a
memory of yours, I was at your prom night! In your body!”

“Your delirious Fry!” said Leela/Fry “You just bumped your head”

“It seemed so real though!” he replied as he got up unsteadily.

“Whoa!” He exclaimed, “I feel kinda woozy”

“Yeah! Well too bad” said Leela/Fry, we gotta get to work and figure out
what happened, which means you got to get dressed.”

“Yeah I guess, said Fry/Leela

“But after you’ve had a shower!” said Leela/Fry throwing a towel at him.

“Cooooooool!” said Fry/Leela, smirking.

Leela/Fry opened her mouth to chastise him for this comment when she caught
the strange look on his face, that in his own body would have been a
playful wink indicating that he was joking, but in her body it came out a
kind of lopsided grin and squint.

She actually found it hard to stop herself from laughing at it.

She watched Fry/Leela bend over to pick up the towel and miss it by inches.

He tried again, and failed.

He looked at her with her single eye.

“Um a little help here?” said Fry/Leela “I still gotta get used to this
depth perception thingy”

Fry/Leela bent down in one last attempt to reach the towel, unaware that
Leela/Fry was doing the same, their heads clashed with a dull thud.

“Ouch!” cried Leela/Fry “Fry! Watch what youre doing! She glared at him
for a minute.

Fry/Leela noticed how weird it was being scowled at by yourself.

Wow, he thought so thats how I look mad! Boy am I cute!

Leela/Fry picked up the towel and handed it to Fry/Leela

“Thanks” he replied sheepishly, before turning round and walking into a
door.

“OWWW!” yelled Fry/Leela

Leela/Fry winced

“Careful Fry that’s my body youre in,” she said slightly concerned

“Yeah and this is your head that’s hurting now, this is really beginning to
bug me, its ok for you, your used to it said Fry/Leela, “hey how’s it feel
to have two eyes for a change?” he went on.

Kinda weird” said Leela/Fry going crossed eyed, she’d been doing this a lot
since she discovered it was possible.

She glanced at the clock on the wall.

Cmon Fry you gotta get ready or were going to be late, said Leela/Fry.

Yeah yeah! replied fry going into the bathroom,

Leela/Fry shoved Fry/Leela towards the bathroom.

A girl has to look her best you know! she said as Fry/Leela went into the
bathroom.

He closed the door behind him and leaned up against it

Oh god he thought Ive been dreading this bit, what am I going to do.

Simple! came the answer, youre gonna get undressed, get in the shower and
soap up Leelas hot, wet steamy naked body.

His mind trailed off on a tangent of its own.

SLAP! his hand flew up to his face, leaving a stinging red mark,

Quit it! Said his conscience, sounding strangely like Leela, we dont have
time for this nowmaybe later, it went on.

Okay Philip, heres what were gonna do. Said Fry/Leela to himself,
First your gonna turn the shower on and set it to cold, then your gonna
get out of the robe and step into the shower, then your gonna wash
yourself, get out and dry your self off. Ok? he asked

OK! Said Fry/Leela to himself.

Leela/Fry was tiding up the broken plate in the kitchen when she heard
herself or rather Fry in her body, scream

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!

She ran to the bathroom door, and knocked on it.

Fry are you ok? She asked

Ye, ye, ye, yeah, Im fi, fi, fine the waters ju, ju, just a little c, c,
cold thats all, he replied

Well why dont you turn up the heat then? replied Leela/Fry

Nah, I dont think thats a good Idea! said Fry

Whys that? Asked Leela, just before she realised why Fry would be taking
a cold shower in her body

Jeeze! Turanga, you can be really dumb sometimes she thought.

Never mind! she said, through the bathroom door.

Frys screams went on for a few more minutes before Leela heard the shower
stop, and Fry/Leela came out,

He started to towel dry his hair, as he walked back to the bedroom to get
dressed. Leela/Fry looked on with an almost shocked look on her face.

No! No! No! Fry, use the hair dryer, youll make it all frizzy, she said
her voice slightly raised,

Fry/Leela looked at her with a slightly bemused look.

Ok wheres your hair dryer then, said Fry/Leela looking around him?
Rooting through stuff. He suddenly stumbled across her underwear drawer.

OOOOOHH MMMYYYYY GOD! said Fry, observing the collection of flimsy and
skimpy undergarments that was far larger than the one in the PE ship.

“Oh My God, It’s the Mother Lode…Ive died and gone to heaven, said Fry
in a low voice,

There was a quiet cough behind him, the kind that people make when they
want you to know that theyre there.

He spun round; Leela/Fry was standing behind him, casually holding a
hairdryer.

Ohh, uh hey! said Fry/Leela sheepishly, I see you found a hair dryer
then.

Youve never put your hair in a pony tail have you Fry? asked Leela/Fry

Uh no I havent now you mention it! He replied.

Ok then come over here to the dresser and sit down said Leela/Fry

Fry/Leela want over to the dresser and sat down. He felt Leela/Fry take
hold of his or her hair, he still couldnt figure out which.

Leela/Fry took hold of her hairbrush and moved Fry/Leelas head to one
side; she noticed a small and very faint shiver run through Fry as she
touched him.

She bought the brush roughly down though the hair.

Careful now Turanga you dont want to do any lasting damage it is still
your head, she thought, just enough pain to teach him not to rifle my
panties drawer.

Fry/Leela grunted a few times as she brushed his hair, the bristles
scraping against the scalp now and then.

She put the brush down and picked up one of the scrunchies sitting on the
dresser, then she gathered up Fry/Leelas hair and put it in to the
scrunchie, then with one hand she held the scrunchie while pulling the
ponytail tight with the other hand

Fry/Leela squealed in pain.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW! He shrieked.

Jeeze! Leela be careful there, he yelled, getting out of the chair.

Ok its done, he said, now if you dont mind Id like to get dressed, I
know how to put on a bra, remember I was attached to Amy for a while.

Fry its nothing I aint seen thousands of times before! Began Leela/Fry
before she heard her stomach rumble.

Ok Fry you get dressed while I get something to eat, she said as she left
the room, as she closed the door she glanced back at Fry/Leela.

He was rubbing the back of his neck, at the hairline. She saw that the skin
was red and inflamed where the scrunchie had pulled at it.

She started to feel slightly guilty about it as she fixed herself some
Archduke Chocula.

Well he did need to be taught a lesson but perhaps I went a bit too far,
she thought, that mark on his, My neck did look kinda sore.

Fry loosened the scrunchie a little.

Damn that girls got some strength in her, He thought, Wait thats my body
shes in, Im in hers. Jeeze Phil, how could you forget a thing like that
with these in front of you.

Fry/Leela looked down at the ample bosom a few inches below his nose.

Ah well I suppose I better start to get dressed and take this robe off,
he said with a slight grin,

Fry/Leela slipped the robe off and went back to the underwear drawer; he
picked up a matching set of plain white bra and panties.

Ok I think these should be plain enough to keep her happy said Fry as he
started to get dressed.

This sucks soo much, I finally get to be with Leela naked, kinda, he
thought, and Im putting clothes ON her.

He pulled on the panties and clasped the bra closed behind his back;
Fry/Leela admired the result in the mirror

Another thought struck him.

Fry/Leela ran through a series of poses hed seen super models use.

Coool! Just like one of those Super Models, except Leelas better
looking, he chuckled to himself.

Fry/Leela hadnt heard the door open a few seconds earlier

Fry, just what the hell are you doing?, yelled Leela/Fry angrily

Uh, errr, nothing, came the surprised and embarrassed reply.

I leave you alone for 2 minutes and look what happens, here catch these
and put them on, bellowed Leela/Fry.

Leela/Fry picked up the clean clothes shed laid out on her bedside cabinet
the night before and threw then at Fry/Leela.

Ha! Missed! Said Fry/Leela, seconds before being hit in the face by Leelas
boots.

He picked himself off the floor and picked up the boots, he gave a
cautionary sniff at them.

Jeeze! Exclaimed Fry/Leela Leela aint you ever heard of odour eaters,
man, talk about boot feet!

Shut Up! Fry! retorted Leela/Fry, and get dressed

****************************************************************

Thirty minutes later saw the pair arrive outside the PE building.

Ok! said Leela/Fry You go in first and then Ill go in five minutes
later!

Alright said Fry/Leela, but why?

Because it would look strange us both going into work together, at the
same time, answered Leela/Fry

You mean you wouldnt want any one thinking that there was anything going
on between us, right? snapped Fry/Leela.

Uhh began Leela/Fry.

Hey its fine! said Fry/Leela stiffly I know Im an embarrassment!

Fry/Leela stormed off toward the Planet Express building.

****************************************************************

The doors of the Planet Express building flew open as Fry/Leela stormed
through them, the bang as they halted suddenly when they hit their stops,
echoing through the empty building. The doors having unlocked automatically
at 8 am.

Damn it! Spat, Fry with a mix of anger, angst and frustration.

Why does she always have to be so self-righteous, and uptight? He thought.

He kept hoping shed follow him through the doors, she didnt.

He walked through the building to the employee lounge.

Fry/Leela sat down in silence; he didnt even feel like turning on the TV.
He gazed out the window, the rising sun bathing New New York in its warm
light.

He watched the shadows diminish as the sun climbed higher into the sky. He
thought of Leela walking around out there in his body.

He looked down at his hands, her hands, they werent at all like his, on
his body, Leelas hands were smaller than his, thinner across, the skin was
smoother, there were a few small feint scars on her knuckles, from the
numerous noses she had broken.

Her hands kinda some her up, he thought, tough, but fragile.

Fry/Leela felt himself chuckle slightly, his anger abating,

I can never stay mad at her for long, he thought. Shes too damn cute Wait
does that mean that I think Im cute, cos shes in my body or what?

Fry pondered this for a few moments, his brain

Wow! Thought Fry/Leela I really do like her for her mind and not just her
body.

Fry/Leela looked down, Her fantastically well-proportioned body, he
thought.

He looked up when he heard someone else come through the doors.

He gave a slight sigh when he saw it was Hermes and not Leela/Fry.

Morning Hermes, he said, Guess your kinda shocked that Im here so early
huh?

Whys that? said Hermes, your always at work early Leela, its just that
your not usually in the lounge. You feeling ok today?

Uh yeah! Im Leela alright, uh…eh…I mean, eh yeah Im alright said
Fry/Leela remembering the situation.

Um yes you are! said Hermes slightly confused. Before walking out of the
lounge.

Dont forget the annual personnel medical today either, Leela, said
Hermes from outside.

Jeeeze thought Fry/Leela. I gotta remember who I am.

Ok, where would Leela be right now? He thought, Checking the ship, you
idiot, where else?

Fry/Leela got up and made his way down to the hanger.

The ship was sitting in its landing area, steam forming around its liquid
nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere refilling pipes.

Amy was standing next to the refuelling station monitoring the ship’s
atmosphere, coolant and fuel levels.

Amy turned around when she heard someone approaching.

Hi Leela! said Amy, See, you’re looking like yourself again, still got
the same boots though”

“Hi Amy, yeah they’re nice aren’t they” said Fry/Leela oblivious to the
sarcasm in Amys voice

Uh, eh yeahhhh! Said Amy, uncertainly, eyeing Fry/Leela strangely.

So how are you Amy? Asked Fry /Leela.

Im fine Leela, said Amy, who was now beginning to suspect Leela was up
to something.

Uh ok, coool! said Fry/Leela.

Damn thought Fry/Leela, Leela never says cool.

I need to get out of this situation fast he thought.

Well ok Im gonna sit over at the meeting table for a bit, now, said
Fry/Leela.

Uh dont you wanna take over refuelling the ship, Leela? asked Amy

No thanks Amy, it looks like you can handle the situation. Said
Fry/Leela, practically running away now.

Jeeze! That was close, he thought to himself. Me, refuelling the ship? Now
thats scary,

Mental images of mushroom clouds and explosions filled his head,

Yep he thought as he sat down at the meeting table. Leela would love that,
me burning the place down.

1.2 ****************************************************************

Ouch! winced Leela/Fry as she watched Fry/Leela storm nose first straight
into the Planet Express doors.

Goddamnit, stupid depth perception, he yelled, before grabbing the door
handles pulling them back violently and marching in.

Well, Turanga, that could have gone a bit better, she thought to herself
as she wandered aimlessly down the street.

If only he wasnt so immature most of the time, then these disagreements
wouldnt happen she spoke loudly to herself, while diverting her eyes away
from passers-by that were looking at her like she was going mad.

She heard the sound of a familiar space ship engine overhead.

Leela/Fry looked up aghast, as the Planet Express ship, flew past, and
headed towards the building.

Oh my life, Id totally forgotten about the Professor and his convention,
I wonder whos piloting the ship she uttered to herself.

She watched with some concern, as the ship drew to a halt over the top of
the building and hovered there while the door slid seamlessly back, and
then dropped nice and gently into its landing bay.

If that was Amy piloting the ship, then Ill have to check that everything
is where it should be, the last time, it took me 3 hours to locate the
Engine Manual contemplated Leela/Fry.

Ill just pop into Bleichmans Bookstore, to wile away a few more
minutes, said Leela/Fry to herself as she was passing the store.

As she walked into the bookstore, and started browse through several Video-
Novels, the proprietor wandered over carrying a couple of magazines.

Mr. Fry, so good to see you again, your standing order for Alien Babes
Lust And Leisure and Cosmicpolitan have arrived, would you like to pay
now or later he asked with a mischievous look on his face.

I… I ordered these came the response, from a clearly confused Lela/Fry.

Yeah, about 2 weeks ago he responded as he handed them over. Leela/Fry
promptly placed them in the inside pocket of his jacket.

Ahh, good idea, so Miss Leela cant see the evidence chuckled Mr.
Bleichman.

Uh, yeah, thats the plan uncertainly replied Leela/Fry, as he turned to
leave the shop.

So, youre still infatuated with her, I cant understand why, one eyed,
big nosed, purple haired for goodness sake he asked.

Before Bleichman had the chance to register what was happening, Leela/Fry
raised his hand and slapped him straight across the left cheek.

Dont you ever say that about me… err her ever again shouted Leela/Fry.

OK OK, but that show of violence was uncalled for came the shocked reply

Let that be a lesson, never insult a woman responded Leela/Fry, as he
opened the doors and started to walk out.

Just one thing before you go, can you tell the lovely Amy Wong, that Ill
meet her at The Hip Joint this Saturday Mr. Bleichman added as an after
thought, while rubbing his cheek.

As Leela/Fry exited the building, she swore she heard mmmmm Pink
Sweatsuit, but wasnt certain.

When I get back to the office, someone is gonna pay for this! she stated
as she started purposefully in the direction of the office.

After a couple of minutes, she arrived at the main Planet Express doors,
very nearly ripped the left one off its hinges, and headed straight for
the conference area.

Alright, give da man a hand, hes only 15 minutes late today mockingly
applauded Hermes, as Leela/Fry raged towards the conference table.

Not Today Hermes, Im not in the mood for your frivolity came the fiery
response, as she shoved Hermes out the way.

Mon, whats got you so mad? asked Hermes as he steadied himself against a
chair.

Yeah Fry, this isnt like you at all queried Amy.

Amy, you keep your nose, what bit of one you have, out of this came the
angry response.

Ai ye, hey that wasnt nice Fry, and not like you at all came Amys hurt
response.

Yeah, remember who you are! Fry/Leela said

After hearing Fry/Leela, attempting to placate her feelings, Leela/Fry
pulled out a chair and sat down with a resigned thud, both elbows
simultaneously hitting the table, as her head fell into her hands, as she
felt her anger start to dissipate.

Im sorry everyone, its just that someone insulted my nose, err I mean
Leelas Nose, and I got mad the slightly muffled voice of Fry said.

All this over her nose! Jeeze Fry! I knew you liked Leela, but taking it
out on me wasnt nice sniffled Amy.

Yeah, its only a nose voiced Fry/Leela.

OK Amy, Mr. Bleichman, says hell meet you on Saturday at The Hip
Joint, although I thought you and Kif were an item queried Leela/Fry.

We are, but Kifs on a Deep Space mission, and Jeremy is a close friend,
who I asked to the club for a bit of company responded Amy.

Oh yeah, right came the scornful response from Leela/Fry.

OK, you two stop dis now, yelled Hermes.

Fry, you are obviously still suffering from dat illness, now go and see
Zoidberg he ordered.

Fry/Leela made to get up automatically, when an unseen foot under the table
kicked him in the leg and Leela/Fry coughed somewhat loudly.

Shit, Im Leela he though, Ok, how do I get out of this, theyve seen me
start to move.

Fry/Leela scratched his ass conspicuously, and sat down again.

Damn these new panties of mine are really making me itch, he said aloud,

He became aware that everyone was looking at him most notably himself, or
rather Leela/Fry.

She was staring at him open mouthed.

I uh changedeh, detergents recently, perhaps Imuh allergic to the new
one. He said trying to rescue the situation.

He looked at Leela/Fry covertly and mouthed sorry, what else was I
supposed to do?

Leela/Fry got out of her chair and walked past Fry towards Dr Zoidbergs
office, she accidentally, struck Fry/Leela on the head with her elbow as
she past.

Owww said Fry/Leela.

Oh sorry Leela, said Leela/Fry, I didnt see you there.

Fry, Youre a clumsy idiot, spat Fry/Leela, enjoying, being on the other
end of one of Leelas insults for a change.

Leela/Fry looked at Fry/Leela shocked for a moment,

Fry/Leela smirked back at her, with a look that said How do you like it?

She turned back stunned slightly and walked over to Zoidbergs office and
knocked on the door.

The door to Dr Zoidbergs Office opened, and Zoidberg waked out clutching a
clipboard in his hands.

He appeared to have gripped it slightly too tight as his pincers sliced the
board in two.

Alwayz with the zplitting, I swear these boards must come from a defective
batch, zats ze tenth one zis morning. Ah yez, Fry, your first for ze
autopsy. Said Dr Zoidberg.

Now firztly I need you to ztrip down to your underwear, He went on.

Leela/Fry began to get undressed folding Frys clothes neatly and placing
them on the chair in the corner of Zoidberg’s Office, before remembering
who she was and knocking them over the floor.

When all that Leela/Fry was left wearing was a pair of light speed briefs
she climbed up onto the examination couch.

Ok I am going to hook you up to ze diagnostic eqvipment, said Dr Zoidberg
as he connected some electrodes to Leela/Frys Body which will test your
revlexes and such, vill zat is going on I vant you to read the letters on
ze board over there back to me starting vith ze largest. Said Zoidberg.

Uh ok said Leela/Fry LUAPDNAYDNA He began

SROHTUAEH…T finished Leela/Fry several minutes later, Thank
goodness that over and done with, sighed Fry/Leela.

Very Good Fry said Zoidberg Your Vision iz ztill 20/20.

Zoidberg approached to remove the electrodes, forgetting that the machine
had not quite finished the Involuntary reflex test, just in time for one of
Leela/Frys arms to spasm and hit him square in the face.

Zoidberg went down like a lead balloon. His pincers involuntarily slicing
another clipboard in two,

WOW! Thought Leela/Fry, surprisingly there is some strength in Frys arms.

Leela/Fry leaped off the couch and knelt down beside Dr Zoidberg, who was
gradually regaining control of his faculties.

Are you ok Dr Zoidberg? She asked

Zoidberg sat up somewhat unsteadily.

Uhhhhhperhaps zose 3 day-old octo-cray fish I had last night werent so
good! Feels like someone punched me in the head! said Zoidberg

Uhhh. Really, wow those fish must really have been off, said Leela/Fry
helping Zoidberg up.

Am I done now? Asked Leela/Fry getting dressed.

Vy yes send in Leela on your way out said Zoidberg.

Ok replied Leela/Fry.

She opened the door to Zoidberg’s office and beckoned Fry/Leela over.

Ok FrLeela its your turn now, but be careful Dr Zoidberg uh fainted
said Leela/Fry hes feeling himself this morning.

Yeah him and me both replied Fry to no one in particular as he passed

On entering Fry/Leela saw Zoidberg Sitting in his chair looking dazed, his
left eye slightly swollen, Fry/Leela turned and pocked her head back out
the door,

Ehh Le Fry could you maybe stay in here with me in case Dr Zoidberg
faints again? he shouted.

Uh sure if you dont mind getting undressed in front of me replied
Leela/Fry.

Uhno why would well, Ill make an exception this one time! said
Fry/Leela.

Leela/Fry, made her way back to Dr Zoidberg’s office, by the time she got
through the Door Fry/Leela was busy taking off her pants,

Leela/Fry saw the plain white bra and panties Fry/Leela had chosen,

Ok Leela, time for your test said Zoidberg, as he began to wire up
Fry/Leela with the diagnostic electrodes.

Now read the eye chart for me while the machine tests you said Dr
Zoidberg.

Uh ok said Fry/Leela EIDAMARUTUF began Fry/Leela.

TELTONLLIW, there Im done! said Fry/Leela.

Zoidberg began to unhook Fry/Leela from the machine,

Fry Leela looked at Leela/Fry, is the underwear I picked ok? he asked.

UhYeahits, umsexy, stammered a slightly shocked Leela/Fry

Oh cool! said Fry/Leela.

Leela/Fry Leaned over Fry/Leela and whispered in his ear, Fry, remember
you’re me.

Ooops said Fry/Leela.

Leela/Fry went to move away, but before she could Fry/Leelas right arm
shot out in a spasm and punched her straight in the stomach.

Ooofffff! Groaned Leela/Fry as she doubled up.

Oh crap! LeFry Im sorry! exclaimed Fry/Leela leaping off the couch, and
kneeling down beside his stricken friend.

Oh god Im sorry, are you ok? he asked

Unnngghhh! yeah Ill be ok, I think, Its ok, I kinda did the same thing
to Zoidberg! answered Leela/Fry.

You sure your gonna be ok? asked Fry/Leela,

yeah, said Leela/Fry,

She Looked at Fry/Leela who from the way he was kneeling was revealing
slightly too much cleavage for Leela/Frys liking.

WOW! They are kinda big from this angle, thought Leela/Fry.

Uh hadnt you better get dressed? asked Leela/Fry

Eh? Oh Yeah! said Fry/Leela, who made to pick up his clothes.

But Id see if Dr Zoidbergs finished with you first though, added
Leela/Fry

Huh? Oh right! said Fry/Leela, Am I done Dr Zoidberg? he asked.

Zoidberg looked up from yet another broken clipboard.

Are you done? Said Zoidberg blankly, Done vhat? Oh yez wiz ze exam, yez,
yez Leela you can get drezzed now. Ok you are both fit to continue
working, zo if youll excuze me Ill go tell zis to Hermes. Said Zoidberg.

*****************************************************************

Leela and Fry left Zoidbergs office, a moment later Amy joined them as
they headed back to the Conference Room.

So, you two OK now? asked a concerned to Amy.

Yeah, were fine, answered Leela/Fry.

Zoidberg said we were our normal selves, added Fry/Leela.

Zoidberg left Hermes office, and scuttled off, leaving a slightly confused
Jamaican behind.

Why, we still employ him Ill never know he muttered while scratching his
head,

Now back to de paperwork, for dat trip to Los Angeles, we successfully
delivered de Professor and his Synaptic Transposition Invention he said
aloud, just as Leela, Fry and Amy were walking past.

Outside, Fry/Leela glanced at Leela/Fry with a look that said So thats
what it was!

Hermes looked up, and yelled You three, get in here now, weve an urgent
Top Secret delivery to make

First things first, are you fit enough to fly de ship Leela

Im OK Hermes, never felt this good before, replied Fry/Leela, while
avoiding the baleful stare from Leela/Fry.

OK, well before we took de Professor to Los Angeles, a Top Secret package
was left here, and I need to go through the paperwork with you, explained
Hermes.

For a brief second Fry/Leela, looked a bit unsure of herself.

So what do we do, Leela, we dont need to be here, asked Leela/Fry, still
thinking it odd having to ask herself what to do.

Fry, you and Bender, go get the package loaded onto a cargo dolly, and get
it to the Docking Bay, answered Fry/Leela, after a couple of seconds
thought.

Aye Aye Captain, responded Leela/Fry, with a slight look of concern on
her face, as she headed down the corridor.

Amy, you go and remove whats left of Frys chewing gum from under the
table, instructed Hermes.

Poq Gai, not that again, muttered Amy, as she headed towards the lounge
area.

OK, Captain, deal wit dis paperwork, said Hermes as he pointed to the
chair on the other side of his desk.

OK, dis package is an urgent delivery to The Nimbus he continued

Zapps ship, what is it? asked Fry/Leela.

I dont know, all it says is dat its Top Secret and needs to be urgently
delivered, he responded.

Oh, Amy ought to come with us, so she can see Kif, again, responded
Fry/Leela.

You think thats wise, came the surprised response.

Yeah, I do, she deserves some time with him, she replied

Dis, is unlike you Leela, but OK, Amy can go along, he acknowledged and
handed her the paperwork.

Fry/Leela, reached out for the paperwork and closed her hands on thin air.

You sure youre OK, Leela asked Hermes.

Yes, I am, just a bit of perception trouble, it still happens to me, he
honestly answered.

OK, dat I can understand, he responded and this time pushed the paperwork
across the desk. Fry/Leela reached out and grabbed it this time, while
allowing a little smile to creep across his lips.

Ill head for the Docking Bay, and make sure those two have done what I
asked, he said, and left Hermes office.

Amy, get to the Docking Bay, youre going on a delivery run to The
Nimbus, with Leela and Fry, instructed Hermes over the intercom.

Yay, I can see Kif again, came the excited response.

Leela/Fry, Fry/Leela, Amy and Bender, stood next to the TOP SECRET
package waiting to be loaded into the PE Ships cargo hold.

Now remember youre me, Fry, whispered Leela/Fry. So youll have to give
the loading orders to me and Bender

I know, Leela, Im not that stupid, replied Fry/Leela, also whispering.

Ok then, prove it, by acting like me and not screwing it up shot back
Leela/Fry.

Amy, you work the Magnetic Grab. Bender, Fry, move the crate and dolly
into position ordered Fry/Leela, trying his best to use the same tone and
body language as Leela would.

Leela/Fry moved towards the control panel, whispering Good as she went
past.

Amy stomped off towards Magnetic Grabs control muttering

Poq Gai under her breath

Im only here for the chance to meet Kif, she said out loud.

Amy, just do as I tell you, shouted Leela/Fry as she headed towards
Bender. Err, I meant do as Leela tells you, she corrected realising what
she had said.

Buh, what? responded Amy looking at Fry/Leela for help.

Before Fry/Leela could respond, Bender interjected with Fry hasnt been
Fry all day

Leela/Fry stopped in her tracks; she turned to look at an equally shocked
Fry/Leela.

They both mouthed, How does he know! at each other.

Im sorry Bender I had a weird dream last night said Bender in a mock Fry
voice, Jeeze! You skintubes are weird, letting things like that affect
you. All I ever dream about is electric sheep!

Looks of relief appeared for a second on Fry and Leelas faces.

Amy, just work the Magnetic Grab and Fry, you get on with helping Bender,
ordered Fry/Leela.

Bender and Fry pushed the dolly to the centre of Loading Bays open hatch.

Amy, load the crate onto the ship, Bender go to the Cargo hold and stand
guard until further notice. Leela looked at Fry who was sweating,
profusely, and Fryyou go sit in the Bridge, ordered Fry/Leela.

An exhausted Leela/Fry passed by.

She muttered, How the hell, do you live in this body? to Fry/Leela

Fry/Leela just shrugged his shoulders in response.

Amy successfully loaded the crate and Bender stored it away, before taking
up his usual guard duty position, and shutting down.

Must kill all humans, he muttered

Fry/Leela headed for the Flight Deck, while Amy headed for her cabin for a
nice cool shower and to get changed in preparation for meeting Kif.

On arriving at the Flight Deck, Leela/Fry headed towards Fry/Leela, who was
sat in the Captains chair.

Um, isnt that my seat, Leela asked Fry/Leela

Its my seat, Fry, yours is over there responded Leela/Fry, pointing to
the back of the bridge.

OK, but wont it look odd, me being you, in my chair, if Amy comes in,
enquired Fry/Leela

This is my idea for keeping me as Pilot, while you act as Captain came
the response

Leela, please give me a chance to show you I can pilot the ship through
lift off, Ive already proved I can pilot it asked Fry/Leela

OK, just this once, since you are me. sighed Leela/Fry as she got out of
the chair. Ill stand here and advise you until Amy appears, after that
Ill try and keep watch on you, without giving the game away, OK

Thank you, Leela, responded Fry/Leela as he made herself comfortable.

And stop calling me Leela, warned Leela/Fry

Well you called me Fry, a minute ago, retorted Fry/Leela

At that moment, Amy walked in resplendent in the red dress she wore that
Valentines Day, What you think? Do I look good enough for Kif? she
asked.

Leela/Fry looked disapprovingly, but said Very Nice, Amy.

Fry/Leela turned around, The last time I saw you in that, my head was on
your shoulder

What did you just say Leela? responded Amy, shocked

Err, I meant Frys head was on your shoulder, stuttered Fry/Leela

That was dumb, now well have to tell her, Leela/Fry whispered to
Fry/Leela otherwise shell never stop asking!

Sorry, Its just seeing that dress and the memory flooded back, I
couldnt stop myself. Fry/Leela whispered back

Are you two OK? asked a bewildered Amy.

Amy, I know youre going to have a hard time believing this coming from
Fry, but what Im about to tell you, its the truth, said Leela/Fry.

Uh huh, responded a dazed Amy.

Yesterday, before me and Fry were taken unwell, we accidentally touched
the Professors invention, the one hes showing at LUNATIC, and somehow, me
and Frys minds switched bodies said Leela/Fry.

So youre not Fry, youre Leela, and shes not Leela, hes Fry, a now
totally perplexed Amy responded.

Yes they replied simultaneously.

Now Amy, youre not to tell anyone this, until we work out how to get our
minds back into our own bodies, instructed Leela/Fry.

Buh! I can do that. came a half confident reply from Amy.

Good, now that you know, I can pilot the ship as Fry, said Leela/Fry

Aww! I wanted to make the ship Blast Off, came the strangled response
from Fry/Leela.

OK, just this once you can, but as soon as were clear of the Earth, we
switch positions. Instructed Leela/Fry.

Thanks, Leela, said Fry/Leela relieved.

But if we swap positions, wont Zapp know something is wrong?, he added
after a moments thought

.1 Youll have to explain to Zapp, that youre teaching me to pilot
the ship answered Leela/Fry.

.2 Uh, OK, I think I can manage that, stuttered Fry/Leela

.3 But before we blast off, this time, make sure the Diamond Tether
is not attached to anything first, asserted Leela/Fry

One small mistake, and you wont let me forget it, responded Fry/Leela

That small mistake, got us and Bender fired, we were lucky the Professor
gave us our jobs back answered Leela/Fry. I dont want to be a Pizza
Delivery Person again.

Neither do I, muttered Fry/Leela under his breath

OK, OK, you win, will you guide me, please, Leela, pleaded Fry/Leela

Sure, Fry, on the condition that you do exactly what I say answered
Leela/Fry

You know Ill do anything for you, Leela, smiled Fry/Leela back at her.

Before we take off, Ive a question for Fry asked Amy trying not to look
at Leela/Fry

Yeah, sure Amy, responded Fry/Leela

Does it feel any different being in Leelas body, than being on my
shoulder, inquired Amy, putting a hand on her scarred left shoulder.

Amy! what kind of a question is that, came the stormy response from
Leela/Fry, Now sit in Benders place and please keep quiet.

Yes, Sir, err Maam responded Amy.

Leela, did you have to snap at her, she only asked a question, reacted a
puzzled Fry/Leela

Forget it Fry, weve a package to deliver to Zapp, responded Leela/Fry
with disdain.

OK, so what do I do next, the Diamond Tether is fully retracted, asked
Fry/Leela, having first double-checked the console.

Leela/Fry took Fry/Leela through the launch sequence step-by-step.

Ok Fry now you can start the main engines said Leela/Fry finally after
numerous checks and rechecks

Fry/Leela pressed the illuminated button marked Main Engine Start

He felt a vibration pass through the ship and heard the thrum of the
engines begin to build in his ears.

Now Fry said Leela/Fry Move the ship into launch position, and raise the
blast shield.

Fry/Leela hit these buttons in turn

He felt himself being raised through several degrees; he saw the view
through ships window change from the far end of the hanger to the steely
grey of the cloudy New New York sky

Behind the ship a large flap of metal flipped up out of the floor to
deflect the exhaust gases of the ships engines away from the rest of the
Planet Express hanger.

Ok Fry said Leela/Fry now slowly throttle up the engine power all the way
up to full

Fry/Leela took hold of the throttle control and slowly moved the handle up
to full power.

The thrum from the engines began to change pitch and build in intensity to
a whine.

The vibration began to increase until after what seemed an eternity;
Fry/Leela, Leela/Fry and Amy felt the ship lift off the launch pad and
blast off and head into space.

Leela/Fry nodded approvingly at Fry/Leela and commented Nice Take Off,
couldnt have done it better myself.

Now we switch positions? asked an obviously disappointed Fry/Leela.

No, I think I can trust you to get us there, plus Zapp wont think
anything is wrong. Replied Leela/Fry; Although I will keep an eye on you
to make sure nothing goes wrong.

You mean two eyes, came the quick response from Fry/Leela.

Yeah, yeah, OK. responded Leela/Fry as she headed back to her chair.

Leela err I mean Fry, sorry for asking that question earlier, said Amy.

Thats OK, Amy, I know it must be especially confusing for you, and please
remember Im Fry. replied Leela/Fry.

Ok, Ill do my best, responded Amy

The best way, is look at me and think Fry, as that is who you are looking
at, similarly the same goes for Leela, advised Leela/Fry

Yeah, I can do that and youd better act like Fry as well, answered Amy.

I am, Im in his chair, explained Leela/Fry

No, you havent got your feet on the console, and youre not relaxed
enough, stated Amy

OK, Ill do that. Replied Leela/Fry, as she twisted the chair around and
hoisted both feet onto the console, and crossed hands behind his head.

Thats better, you look more like Fry now, chuckled Amy.

On the bridge of The Nimbus, Zapp was sitting in the Captains Chair,
looking expectantly at the forward view screen. Kif was at his monitoring
console, when it chirped into life, informing him of the news that both of
them were waiting for.

Captain, the Planet Express ship carrying the TOP SECRET cargo and Amy is
on its way towards us remarked Kif

Good, Good, I cant wait to see the Lady Leela again. replied Zapp.

And I cant wait to see Amy again, wistfully replied Kif.

Kif, Do you think Leela will like my freshly washed Velour uniform, asked
Zapp.

Yes, Captain, sighed Kif despondently.

How long until they arrive, I can hardly wait enquired Zapp.

Theyll be here in 2 to 3 hours, Captain, responded Kif, after checking
with his console.

That quick. Ive got to get the Lovenasium ready. Kif youre in charge,
as he got out of his chair, and headed for the doors of the Bridge.

Oh and Kif, inform me when theyve arrived, so I can meet them, we really
need that box. informed Zapp, just before the doors to the bridge closed,
narrowly missing the end of his nose.

Kif sighed Yes captain, as he sat reluctantly in the Captains Chair.

Back on the Flight Deck of the Planet Express Ship. Leela/Fry stood behind
Fry/Leela, watching every move, like Hawk watching its prey.

Leela, why are you stood behind me? asked Fry/Leela

Just checking, that youre doing everything correctly, which you are,
Leela/Fry answered in surprise.

OK, OK, now go and check on Bender, see that hes guarding the crate,
instructed Fry/Leela

Hey Im the Captain, and I give the orders around here, answered
Leela/Fry.

Leela err Fry, youre Fry not Leela, I think thats what I mean, came a
confused explanation from Amy.

Yeah, you are, now get to it, ordered Fry/Leela.

Ok, I forgot who I was for a moment, and do I act like that all the time?
responded a shocked Leela/Fry.

Yeah, you do, came in unison from both Fry/Leela and Amy.

Leela/Fry headed for the Flight Deck door, muttering Im learning a
valuable lesson here, if I ever get my body back, Ill remember this.

How are you adapting to only having one eye, Fry? asked Amy, when the
door had closed behind Leela/Fry

Its still a bit weird, answered Fry/Leela.

So, youve got used to the Depth Perception problem? enquired Amy.

Sorta, I still miss things first time. Now I know how hard it must be for
Leela, truthfully replied Fry/Leela.

OK. I hope Kif is there to meet me. How much longer till were there?
queried Amy

Its going to be at least 2 hours, Amy, replied Fry/Leela

Oh, Ill go to my Cabin and do my make-up until then. answered Amy, as
she stood up.

Amy, stay here, please? reacted Fry/Leela.

Why? responded Amy

Itll be no fun up here, on my own and I could use your company, replied
Fry/Leela.

Oh, OK. answered Amy, as she sat back down again.

As Leela/Fry walked down the corridor towards the Cargo Bay, he passed
through the Galley, and came to the crews cabins. After passing Amys
and Benders, she stopped outside Leelas for a brief moment, looked at it
wistfully and thought, Oh well, no sleeping in there later on.

The next cabin was Frys, Better take a look at my new room, for one
night, I hope, she muttered to herself.

On opening the door, she stood dumbfounded for a couple of seconds, the
room was an absolute mess, and stuff was thrown everywhere.

How, the hell did Fry get this cabin to look like this? Im meant to
sleep in here? an irritated Leela/Fry thought to herself.

She slammed the door shut, and set off purposefully to the Cargo Bay.

After entering the Cargo Bay, which contained one Top Secret crate and an
apparently sleeping Robot.

Leela/Fry yelled at the top of his voice, I thought you were meant to be
guarding the crate, not sleeping, Bender.

Benders eye plate gently rolled back, as he seemed to come back into
operation.

Fry will ya quit yelling, Im trying to sleep here, answered Bender.

Youre meant to be guarding the crate, not Sleeping, angrily responded
Leela/Fry

Wheres it gonna go, shot back Bender, sarcastically.

Its TOP SECRET cargo, you cant be asleep and guard that. retorted
Leela/Fry.

Jeeze! Fry whats got into, any one would think you where Leela.
retaliated Bender,

Everything went still in the Cargo Bay for a couple of seconds, while
Benders last statement hit home.

Oh sorry, Bender, that dream must still be affecting me, meekly replied
Leela/Fry.

You humans and your dreams, sheesh. I give up responded Bender, as he
got a bottle of beer out, and started to drink it.

OK, Bender, try and stay awake then? asked Leela/Fry.

Yeah, yeah, alright, disdainfully responded Bender.

Ill go and tidy my Cabin, if Im to sleep in there, Leela/Fry muttered
to herself, as she turned and left the Cargo Bay.

As soon as Leela/Fry was out of sight, Bender muttered Humans, and then
closed his eye plate and went back to sleep.

Leela/Fry stopped outside of Frys Cabin and with a certain amount of
apprehension, opened the door and went in.

Jeez, where do I start in here, talk about an Impossible Mission, she
said to herself.

Ill start by attempting to remove all that crap off the bed, so at least
I can get some sleep in here, if nothing else she muttered.

As she approached the bed, suddenly everything went black. She staggered
to grab hold of anything in an effort not to fall down, and by chance
grabbed hold of the top of his chair. Suddenly the blackness seemed to
fade away, and an angry looking face was yelling at her.

Phil, I thought I told you to make your bed, you havent touched the
sheets your mother placed on the bed in anticipation of you making it, and
dont tell me you slept on the floor again!

Whoa, this must be Frys father, I guess Im somehow seeing one of his
memories and Fry wasnt lying to me earlier today, Ill have to apologise
to him, she noted subconsciously.

“I did” she heard Fry respond

“Why? came the stormy response

“I didnt want to make the bed wrong again. came the feeble sounding
response.

You didn’t want to make the bed wrong AGAIN! Yancey Sr. yelled
incredulously.

“Ive shown you so many times, how to make a bed to proper military
standards, now get to it, before I ground you Yancey Fry Sr. screamed.

OK Dad, Ill try to, came Frys weak response

Youll TRY! … Ive told you God knows how many times, and you still have
to try, he yelled even more venomously, the blood vessels in his face
looked like they were trying to escape.

OK, but why do I have to make it that way, Fry asked nervously.

Phil, if you dont make start on making that bed within the next 60
seconds and stop asking dumb questions, there will be hell to pay, he
roared.

OK Dad, Ill start now, meekly responded Fry as he turned and started on
the task in hand.

Good, Ill be back in 3 minutes, and God help you if it isnt done right,
yelled his father as he left the room and slammed the door behind him.

Almost as suddenly as the memory had started, it faded away and Leela/Fry
felt her equilibrium return to normal.

Well that was educational, I didnt know Frys dad was that rough on him,
that explains why hes so untidy, hes still rebelling against his dads
enforced authority, she whispered quietly.

After spending the next hour and half, giving the Cabin a sense of
tidiness, Leela/Fry stood back and admired a job well done.

Phew, that was hard work, especially in this body, Id better take a
shower to remove this sweat, she thought to herself.

After hunting through Frys clothes chest, she eventually located a clean
pair of Lightspeed Briefs, another white T-shirt, and hidden at the bottom
was a large towel, she headed towards the door that led to the bathroom.

On entering the bathroom, she was more than a little surprised to find it
mainly clean and relatively tidy.

Wow, hes even got some Shower Gel and Shampoo, she expressed in
surprise.

She then proceeded to remove his clothing, placing the sneakers, jeans and
jacket, outside the door, and placed the T-shirt and briefs into the chute,
that eventually deposited them on the floor of the Laundry Room.

After stepping into the shower, and out of instinct, pulling the curtain
across the doorway, she looked down and seeing Frys naked body from a
different perspective, muttered This is one body, more in need of a
fitness regime, than any other known to man. Maybe I should offer to help
Fry get it into a better shape.

After turning the faucets, and waiting for a few seconds while the water
temperature reached an acceptable level for showering, she proceeded to
rinse away the sweat, and then after grabbing the Shower Gel, she started
to cover his body in it.

Jeez, when did Fry last shower properly, Im gonna have my work cut out
cleaning up his body as well, she said aloud to herself after discovering
dirt between his toes.

Leela, were approaching The Nimbus, and Id like some help, came over
the intercom system.

OK Fry, Ill be along shortly, Im in the shower she responded.

On the bridge Fry/Leela looked horrified, as that bit of information
filtered through his mind.

Shes showering my body and Im not there, he managed to stutter.

At her console, Amy attempted to suppress a chuckle.

What was that for? he asked.

Oh, I just found it amusing … the thought of Leela washing your body,
she responded.

Yeah, I spose it is. Not like she hasnt seen it all before, admitted
an ashamed Fry/Leela, as he turned to concentrate on the steering the ship
towards The Nimbus.

About 5 minutes later, Leela/Fry stepped out of the shower, and admired the
level of cleanliness shed achieved, and the fact that she’d only just
remembered not to try and put her hair into a ponytail.

Better get dressed and go and help Fry out on the Bridge, we must be close
to The Nimbus by now, she thought to herself.

A few minutes later, Leela/Fry entered the bridge and noticed that The
Nimbus was looming large through the main windows.

Fry, I think all Ships communications should be done by Amy. Leela/Fry
instructed.

But, why? came the strangled response from Fry/Leela.

You might accidentally say something that will give away what has happened
to us, came the forceful response.

Fry/Leela shrugged her shoulders and despondently vacated the Captains
chair saying, Youre still the Captain, after all.

Amy, now be careful what you say to Zapp, please, asked Leela/Fry.

OK, I can handle this, confidently answered Amy as she sat in the chair.

Fry, Id like a quiet word with you in the hallway, Leela/Fry informed
Fry/Leela.

OK, what have I done now? he responded.

Nothing, now come on, answered Leela/Fry as she turned from the captains
chair and headed off the flight deck, Fry/Leela followed albeit with some
reluctance.

Fry, Id like to apologise to you for doubting you this morning, when I
found you unconscious, and then you told me it was all due to a memory of
mine. said Leela/Fry, once the Flight Deck door had closed behind them.

Yeah, I remember that, he responded.

Well, Ive just had a similar vision of your past, so now I know you
werent lying to me about it she expressed.

Thats OK, Leela, Ive already forgiven you for doubting me, he answered.

From the Flight Deck, Amy excitedly yelled, Hey, I can see The Nimbus.

Leela and Fry walked back in, and stood next to the Captains Chair,
Leela/Fry watching Amys every move, with all the intensity of a tiger
stalking its prey.

****************************************************************

Captain, the Planet Express ship is within visual range, reported Kif to
Zapp via The Nimbus Intercom.

Good, Good, give them permission to land, as soon as Leela contacts you,
replied Zapp.

Aye Captain responded Kif.

A couple of seconds later, the Ships Communication Panel chirped into
life.

This is the Planet Express ship, with a Top Secret cargo, requesting
Docking clearance? asked the voice.

Amy, this is Kif, are you in charge of the ship? he responded
quizzically.

Guh, Im the only one on the Bridge at the minute, answered Amy

Wheres Leela? asked Kif

She and Fry are in the… uh… Cargo Hold, making sure the crate is
safe, uncertainly answered Amy.

Oh, OK, well, you can dock in Bay 5, then, replied Kif.

Thank you, Kif, you are sweet and I really need to tell you something
OUCH! responded Amy.

What happened? asked a concerned Kif.

Nothing much, I… uh, hit my knee on the Steering Column, answered Amy.

OK, Ill see you in Bay 5 shortly, and be more careful replied Kif as he
closed the Communication channel.

Sir, The Planet Express ship will be landing in Bay 5 shortly he reported
to Zapp via the Internal Communications Channel.

The Lady Leela and my crate, nearly here. gasped Zapp

On my way he continued.

On the bridge of the Planet Express ship, Amy stood next to the Captains
Chair, rubbing her leg.

Why, did you kick me Leela? she asked Leela/Fry.

It was to get you off the Comms Channel before you told Kif, what happened
to us, she responded.

Fluh, I said I wouldnt tell Kif, didnt I. Amy responded.

Err, Leela can you help me, Ive never landed a ship before, interrupted
Fry/Leela.

OK, Fry, lets do this step-by-step, responded Leela/Fry.

.3.1 Ok responded Fry/Leela.

First move the ship and come round till youre lined up with the nimbuss
docking bays Said Leela/Fry.

Fry adjusted the PE ships course and reduced the amount of thrust produced
by the engines, the thrum from the stern of the ship decreased slightly.

Now steer the ship slowly towards Bay five said Leela

Fry reduced the main engines power again, the thrum decreasing even
further.

He altered course slightly again heading straight for the opening of
docking bay 5

Before we go and meet Zapp and Kif, lets remember who we are! instructed
Leela/Fry to Fry/Leela and Amy, at the top of the ships stairs.

OK, they both responded.

Fry/Leela walked down them, doing his best to walk like Leela. Leela/Fry
followed, with Amy pointing out, that Leela/Fry needed to slouch more to
walk like Fry.

Ah, the Lady Leela and others greeted Zapp

Huh, Hi Zapp, nice to see you again replied Fry/Leela. Behind him,
Leela/Fry slapped his hand against his head.

Remember youre Leela, act like her, a voice kept saying in Frys mind.

So, youve come to your senses and want more of the Zapper, responded
Zapp.

No Zapp, were only here to deliver the package and get out-a-here.
forcefully responded Fry/Leela. Leela/Fry inwardly allowed herself a small
smile of thank you.

Fry, you go and help Bender unload the cargo ordered Fry/Leela.

Yes Maam, said Leela/Fry as he headed off to the Cargo Bay.

Deliver the Cargo to my quarters, when youve unloaded it, shouted Zapp.

An unintelligible response was heard coming from Leela/Fry.

Um, what about me? enquired Amy.

Amy, you go and talk to Kif, youre not dressed to work, replied
Fry/Leela.

OK, Fry… err Leela, Thank You, answered Amy as she walked over to Kif.

Right Zapp, lets go and sort this paperwork out, instructed Fry/Leela,
before Zapp could notice Amys Freudian slip.

The Lovenasium is set-up and ready my darling, replied Zapp

The what? queried Fry/Leela

You dont remember that night, but I do. purred Zapp with a grin that
would have done the Cheshire Cat proud.

Remember youre Leela, act like her the voice repeated in Frys mind.

Oh THAT night, anyway, the Bridge is more of a suitable place to conduct
this kind of business, and what is in the crate, thats so TOP SECRET?
asked Fry/Leela as she headed towards the Bridge.

I shouldnt say, but to a fellow captain who Im in love with, Ill tell
you, answered Zapp.

Its my new Full length, multi-sensory enhancing vibrating bed, you want
to help me test it? he asked quickly.

Zapp, I wouldnt lay on the same bed with you again, if you paid me, now
Lets Go!, angrily responded Leela, as she set off out of the Landing Bay.

Butbut responded a shocked Zapp, as he followed her.

So Amy, what do you want to do? asked Kif, as Leela and Zapp went past
them.

Well, Kif, something your cabin is well suited for, answered Amy, with a
lecherous grin on her face.

Uh, err, OK, Amy, replied Kif, as Amy grabbed him by the arm, and started
to drag him out of the Landing Bay.
