Space Pilot 3000 V2

[on:]

Hi,

this is a thread for my Fan-fic. I got the idea after listening to an audio commentary for Space Pilot 3000, where it is stated that origionally they were going to make Fry a nightwatchman at Applied Cryogenics then sold to the professor for spare organs. So I decided to write about it, this is what I've done so far:

SPACE PILOT 3000 V2


December 31st 1999

Its night time and it should usually be dark with a few gunshots breaking the silence every now and then, but tonight was different, because at 12 o'clock P. M., it would be the start of a new millennium.  The streets are filled with people walking around in cheesy New Years costumes, and some people carrying bats in the fear machines will start attacking everybody.  But amongst all of these celebrating people, one man was not celebrating.  And this man's name was Philip J. Fry and to bad for him he was the night watchman at the applied cryogenics building.

“Lousy cheap boss, make me work New Year's Eve, and on the new millennium” Fry grumbled under his breath.

Fry is wearing a typical security guard uniform he is walking down a hallway at the applied cryogenics building.  He turns to his left and opens the door.  He enters a strange room.  It is round and at one side of the room.  There is strange tubes mounted to the wall, there is another door labeled medic and a vending machine. At the opposite end of the room there is a single chair and desk next to a large window that gave of a spectacular view of the city.

“Well, at least there’s a good view” Fry remarked.

He walks over to the vending machine puts in a few coins presses a button and a drink comes out of the bottom.  He grabs the drink and walks over to the table.  He puts his hat on the table then leans back in the chair and puts his feet up to rest on the desk.  Outside the window mounted to a large building is a giant TV screen.  The screen displays the number 10.  The hundreds of people gathered at the bottom of the building begin to count down with the TV screen. 9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…

“Hears to another lousy millennium” Fry says in a boring tone.

As he tilts his head back to drink he overbalances and falls backwards into one of the opened tubes as he begins to panic a dial on the door spins around to the number 1000.  Then suddenly he is snapped frozen on the spot for 1000 years.

I typed out the next bit and saved it to my USB but it got waterlogged and I will wait for it to dry out then see if it works. If not I will have to re-type it.

Sorry for the double post but:

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE...

*******************************************
As time passed while Fry was in the Cryo-tube Earth faced many dangers such as the alien invasion that sent technology back to the Stone Age except for the Applied Cryogenics building. Then followed by the second alien invasion that destroyed everything but yet again the applied cryogenics building was safe. But slowly and surly the timer slowly clicked towards “0” 5…4…3…2…1…0 Ding. The Cryo-tube opened and Fry was defrosted. He stumbles out of the tube while holding his head. He had a slight headache caused by the anti-liquification agents injected into him just before he was frozen to stop his brain from becoming a thick grey mass when it was defrosted.

Suddenly he jerked his head towards the right and looked out the large window as he noticed what had become of the world when he was frozen.

There were tall buildings but they were rounded instead of box-like but what really caught his eyes were the cars but not just any cars they were flying cars! He watched them float along invisible lanes and a couple were even blasting of into outer space.

“Cars that float on air, tall shiny buildings I…I must be in the future! But my family, my friends I’ll never see any of them again…YAHOOOOO!!!” Fry yelled excitedly

Fry turns around and looks at the old table next to him that was probably still there since 1999.

“Hey…My hats gone!” Fry exclaims annoyingly.

To his left a door slides up into the roof and two scientists enter.

“WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!” Terry says in an almost annoying voice.
“Why do you always have to say it that way?” Lou say’s sounding annoyed at Terry.
“Haven’t you heard of a little thing called showmanship?” Terry replied “COME YOUR DESTINY AWAITS!”

Fry decides to follow the two strange men they take him down a hallway to a door on the left labeled ‘Fate assignment officer’

“have a nice future” Lou says in a bored sounding voice.

Fry turned around to look at him wandering if the pun was deliberate or not. Lou seemed to be able to read his expression because he then said:

“Hey buddy if you’ve been here as long as I have you bound to come up with stuff like that”

Fry turns around and walks into the room behind him the door slides back into the its slot behind him he turns around and sees the back of a woman standing next to a window.

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

Fry was instantly stunned with the woman appearance but the second that she turned around the first thing that he noticed was a single cantaloupe sized eye in the middle of her face he then just shrank back with a slight sound of disgust.

“Name?” Leela said in a demanding tone.

“Uh…Fry” He stated hesitantly still feeling a bit nervous towards the Cyclops.

“I’m Leela, now its New Years Eve so let’s decide your fate quickly and get out of here.” She said sounding a bit annoyed.

After she finish talking Fry noticed a large blimp float outside the window, it has a large LED display screen across one side of it with the words Happy New Year 3000! Scrolling across its surface.

“Wait a minute…is that blimp accurate!?” Fry asked pointing towards the blimp.

“Yes, it’s December 31st 2999” Leela explained to the dumbfounded fry.

“Wow a million years” Fry exclaimed sounding a bit disappointed.

“Actually it’s closer to a thousand, but I’m sure that this must be very upsetting for you” Leela said in an attempt to comfort Fry.

“you know I guess I should be but actually I’m glad, I mean I had nothing to live for in my old life I was broke, stuck in a dead end job and I was beginning to suspect that my girlfriend was cheating on me. I guess the only thing that I will actually miss will be my dog Seymour. I met him while pulling a crank call on a pizza delivery boy” fry explained to Leela.

“Ok that’s enough of your life story for now, strip naked and get on the probulator” She demanded sounding annoyed at Fry’s monologue.

Fry started to take his clothes of behind the probulator being careful to hide his genitals from Leela, he lied down on the metal bed and instantly felt himself being pushed up on a cushion of air, he floated just 30cm above the surface.
