Hello All, I've not posted here in a while (darn RL!), Meanwhile I've been lurking just beyond the light watching all the goings-on. For those of you who might not already know, I'm a Leela/Fry shipper and darn proud of it thank you very much. Be that as it may, I've something to ask my fellow shippers. I don't believe quite this thing has been done before. But, to my question(s): Regarding the Leela - Fry 'thang, if you could say anything at all to them, what would it be? What impediments (large or small) are there in their way, and how should those impediments be addressed, for Leela & Fry to come together? What would you have them say to one another? Bear in mind that all this is aimed at Leela & Fry developing into a fully developed mutually loving relationship.* If you object to the question, please feel free not to reply. That's all I have. I look forward to your replies (if any). I'll shut up now. Well, at least for now. I do so hate that word "relationship!"

fry needs to gain some iq points, leela needs to open up more.
fry would say, ill pick up the check. leela would say, what a gentleman.
Thanks ActionLaPointe. In other words, Fry needs to be smarter, and/or more mature? And Leelea needs to be less uptight?

"Parasites Lost" made me laugh most of the time, while I was in tears by the end of "The Sting"...but I don't think that Fry's rabid adoration of Leela is gonna cut it in the long run. He needs to show her some kind of responsible act before she takes into account the savings and operas. Although it could help if she was less of an ice queen...

I do believe Shaucker is on to something. It's obvious immediately to even the casual observer what Fry's "issues" are: Immaturaty, ignorance or stupitity, and so on. What about Leela? I have my own thoughts, but I want to hear yours.

@ Futurama_Hil: I think Venus' point is not that it will happen, but that Leela is afraid it might.

Originally posted by Teral: Sorry, forgot this was for shippers exclusively. I'll butt out now. You misunderstand, Teral. My comment was not intended to put-off non-shippers, it was intended to put-off those who would merely post to flame the question, me, "shipping" in general, or otherwise add nothing to the discussion. So long as you're not doing any of that, you're not butting-in.

I liked "The Sting" for it's bizarre storyline and good jokes. Sure there were some shippy elements, but nothing that would qualify it as a shippy episode.

Originally posted by Unknown: If there is/had been a 5th season, I think the relationship would have remained subtext for the most part, except in a few episodes. Second! I'm sure they held off the Fry/Leela thing to tease the audience (plus it gives them more jokes and stories the longer they hold out) But they are definately hiding something, the relationship hardly gets mentioned on the commentaries except for a few sly remarks usually involving us shippers or whether they should get them together so they have definately had meetings on this and possibly even came up with a draft of an episode where they confess all to each other. I can wish.... The elevator fanfic sounds good though!

Well, getting them together would've worked but they would have to write in a few mishaps to maintain interest in the show, so there relationship would be far from perfect. But don't you love it when sci/fi manages to convey feelings we all have or have had? (in the 'shippers' case with regards to fry/leela) Its like one of those New Romantic/Love ballads from the 80's you secretly like, or if like me, punish your friends ears with it! (Techno is good but then so is Bonnie tyler )
