Thank you Coldy, Ralph and MonkeyNibble.
I'm hoping that all the confusion and complications will go well with future updates, its getting harder to know where to take this.

J, you know where you want to take this.
I don't pretend to know where that might be, but;
If you look inside yourself, you know where you want to take it.

People write fanfiction for a multitude of reasons, but all those myriad rasons have one thing in common:
The author has something inside of them that they want to let out.
I've always felt the process of ficwriting is at least as much for the writer, as it is for the readers - if not moreso.
That the fic says what you want, flows how you want, 'feels' the way you want - THAT is the most important part!
If it happens to fit some literary form; if anyone else happens to like it; if it's "good;" so much the better: It's 'icing on the cake'.

So far, J, yer doin' great!
It's good;
It's in-character;
It flows in an orderly way, and;
I like it.

I want to encourage you any way I can.
Keep it up.

Thanks Spacy, I think you could be right that I know where to take this, I have this gut feeling of what would be right for the story and I'm gonna follow it.
Glad you like the story, makes me happy that people can enjoy reading what I enjoy writing

See? 
You know where you want to take it.
What you're feeling is the writers second-greatest adversary:
Knowing where you want to go, but not knowing how to write your way there.

Glad you like the story, makes me happy that people can enjoy reading what I enjoy writing   

  Icing on the cake.

Keep it up.

Chapter seven

“So then, who is this ‘live one?” asked Daniela with grin, causing Juliet to sigh softly.
“Oh he’s the cutest redhead I’ve ever seen, he could use some toning but he’s adorable anyway, so sweet!” murmured Juliet as she imagined his face smiling at her.
“So does that mean you’ll actually stay with this one, maybe settle down?” quizzed Daniela hopefully, making Juliet laugh out loud.
“Hell no! I plan on getting all I can out of him and ditching him like I did with the others, his cute and caring personality is just an added bonus,” she chortled, her whole body shaking with mirth.
“Oh well,” muttered Daniela, “What’s his name?”
“You won’t believe it, but you know that famous holophoner player that bombed out last night?”
“Yes…wait a minute, you don’t mean that he's the ‘live one’ do you?”
“I do!” squealed Juliet gleefully, “I’m dating the Phillip J Fry! This is the big one Danni, I can get what I need and then I can live in comfort!”
“Oh no, no way Jaws, you can’t do this,” murmured Daniela.
“What do you mean I can't? I already am, I used the lost girl act on him and now I’m staying at his apartment!” giggled Juliet.
“No really Juliet, you can’t do this. Leela works with Fry,” explained Daniela.
“Your point being?”
“If you go out with Fry then you’ll have to meet Leela, and you won’t want to meet her alone so you’ll drag me along!”
“Danni, get to the point already!”
“Leela was my ex! I saw her today and she has a new girlfriend, I do not want to have to see her again!”
“Who says I’ll be with Fry long enough to meet Leela and his other work mates? You worry too much Danni.”
Daniela gave a long suffering sigh, “With you around Jaws, I don’t worry enough,”

Fry left the café with a spring in his step. Only this morning he’d been depressed and unhappy and now it felt like he was flying. His life seemed brighter, and it was all down to bumping into someone.
“Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night,” muttered Fry dreamily, “or should that be, this day?”
He drifted towards the park in a haze, not really concentrating on anything except the vision in his head. That was until, he bumped into someone.
“Oh sorry,” he apologized.
“You will be you goddamn…Fry?”
The voice brought Fry back down to earth with a crash, it was Leela. Looking up at in the direction of the voice Fry saw it was indeed Leela, and with her was Amy.
“Sorry Leela, for this morning as well as just now. If Amy makes you happy then be with her,” Fry said, drawing shocked gasps from the two women, who glanced at each other before examining Fry to check if he was ill.
“Are you okay Fry, I mean, its good to know you accept Amy and me but what’s brought on the sudden change?”
“I’m in love,” stated Fry simply. Leela and Amy glanced at each other again, exchanging worried looks.
“How?” asked Amy, studying Fry like he was a child that needed protecting.
“I was walking down the street and she bumped into me. She said she had seen the opera, all of it, and she had liked it, even the end. I told her what had happen and she cared, so we went to a café to talk about it. I found out some things about her as well, she was frozen in the early 21st century and she’s twenty-three, she also had nowhere to stay so I offered to let her stay at mine. She accepted, but then she had to go and meet her friend for a girly chat so I’ll see her tonight and I’m in love!” explained Fry, blurting out all of the details.
“What’s her name?” asked Leela quickly, an extremely concerned look entering her eye.
“Juliet, she’s tall with messy blonde hair, and glasses that frame her eyes,”
“Oh crap!” swore Leela, making Fry and Amy jump.
“What is it?” demanded Amy, just beating Fry to the question.
“Don’t you see, its Juliet Checkland!” shouted Leela, and Amy yelped as she recognized the name.
“It can’t be her, why would she choose Fry?”
“Don’t you get it; she goes for the ones she can get the most out of! Fry’s kind and caring, and a famous holophoner with a big bank balance!”
“You’re right, and she’s already tricked Fry into loving her!”
“HOLD IT!” yelled Fry, “What the hell are you two talking about!”
Leela took a deep breath, “Juliet Checkland, is a gold digger. She goes from man to man taking their money and whatever else she can get her filthy hands on,”
“Liar!” said Fry coldly, “I don’t believe you two, I accept you after you break my heart and you try and make my leave the girl who’s healing it.”
“She’s telling the truth Fry! Juliet is a tragedy for the men she meets. It’s up to you what you do; we just don’t want you to get hurt,” soothed Amy
“You mean you want to be the only ones to hurt me, you both disgust me. You deserve each other!” spat Fry as he stormed off, leaving a disgruntled Leela and Amy behind.

Aww jle, when I saw 'jle1993' on the screen I thought "yay, she's come back!" but now your only staying to 'not let the thread die' I don't blame ya, but it got my hopes up, and crushed them again...

OK,jle,it's hard to bealive that you're not coming back.3 posts today!
Anyway,great update.I'll be waiting for more.
By the way,that link in your signature...Looks familiar...Not the 'paradise I forgot about' familiar,the 'I remember a guy spamming all over the net, advertising it' familiar...

[Reply #93 on:]

Glad you like the update. And sure the links familiar, coz even if the guy who advertised it was spamming a bit, the sites the second biggest futurama forum on the net.

[Reply #94 on:]

jle1993: I was not able to read the last few updates of your story, caused by being ill in bed for the last few weeks.

I'll read the chapters of the story as soon as possible and will post how much I like them.

^-^

I hope you being back on PEEL means that you feel better, if not, then get well soon. I hope you do like the updates. Critism is welcome, and feel free to tell me any changes you want making to your character.

Heehe,OK.But dont forget PEEL's cheesy slogan #13:
"With 40% more love the the second leading message board!"

[Reply #97 on:]

I have found time to read the new updates and yet again I can't but call it amazingly fantastic what I have seen there.

I like the story so far very much and am thrilled how it'll continue.

Oh, and I am surprised how often the in-story me is like I would be in those situations. *looks around for hidden cameras in her room* Seriously, I am impressed.

There are so much possibilities of what could happen next. What would happen if Fry and in-story me would meet and realise they've been in love with the same certain space ship pilot? What if Leela would try to hold apart Juliet and Fry from each other and as a reaction to this Juliet tries to destroy Leela's new realationship with Amy (like in: if I can't have Fry, you can't have Amy)? How would in-story me react to Leela being alone again?

I'll try to check every few days if another wonderful update of the story will have appeared.

 

[Reply #98 on:]

Oh I have a plan for an update, I've also reliased how I'm gonna end it, but its a long trip till then.
*hides remote behide back* And I don't have any hidden cameras, I'm just working with the info I have.

Chapter eight

Leela and Amy watched Fry storm off with identical looks of concern on their faces.
“Damn it,” swore Amy softly under her breath, “She’s already got to him!”
Leela slipped her arm around Amy, “Why do I get the feeling this is our fault?” she asked sadly as Fry got further into the distance. Amy sighed and rested her head on Leela’s shoulder.
“Because in a way it is our fault, we made him an easy target for her.”
“We have to do something to help him, she’ll tear him apart,” insisted Leela. Amy lifted her head off Leela’s shoulder.
“She’d just be finishing the job.”
Leela sadly nodded in agreement, and they both continued their walk through the park.

The romantic mood had gone and Amy could tell that Leela wanted to go home; Amy could also tell that Leela was concerned for Fry and though Amy knew it was silly she felt a small bubble of jealously again.
“I’m getting a bit hungry, wanna head over to Elzar’s, or we could head to my apartment and get some Chinese and a holo-film on the way back if you’d prefer?” suggested Amy, telling herself mentally to relax, hoping she could distract Leela from thoughts of home or Fry. Leela just sighed tiredly.
“Maybe tomorrow Amy, right now I’m going home,” she stated as she headed out of the park, leaving Amy standing alone, doubtful and seething.

Juliet smiled softly as she left the bar, ideas and plans forming in her mind as she walked. She had already figured out that Fry was pretty dim; he’d have to be to fall for her act so quickly when all the other guys had taken a lot of convincing. She’d also worked out that if she could work him the right way then he’d do whatever she told him too, and she’d tell him a lot. Fishing around in her back pocket she found the piece of paper with Fry’s address on and her smile turned into a smirk. The route to his apartment meant she would have to go past the park, which meant that she would have a chance to scout the area for hot prospects, which was good because she liked to be prepared. Sure Fry was meant to be the last one, but it couldn’t hurt to line up some other guys in case something went wrong, not that anything would go wrong. Smirking, Juliet practically skipped towards the park, it was gonna be a great day.

Leela trudged slowly out of the park, not bothering to think about Amy who she’d left at the park, nor did she think of Fry who she had hurt. As Leela shuffled to the exit of the park, she thought of Danni. Danni with hair that glistened in the moonlight, Danni whose arms were a base of comfort, Danni who had lit up Leela’s whole world with a single smile. Leela thought of Danni who she missed desperately. Leela thought of how hopeless it was now, now she was with Amy and had lost Fry, and was without the one woman she truly wanted. As she walked out of the park, Leela was lost in thought.

Amy watched Leela walk out of the park, and struggle to control her emotions.
“该死,” swore Amy, “Why do I always get left behind? Is it something I say or do I just repel people, 该!”
She gazed longingly at the park gate where Leela had just left, and swore again. She wasn’t sure way, but Amy had the feeling that she was losing Leela before she had really got her, and Amy didn’t like the feeling one bit. The more Amy thought about it, the more she could see that Leela’s reaction to Daniela was not the normal ‘I’ve just seen my ex’ reaction.  Her mind went into overtime for the first time in her life as she started to plot how to win Leela away from Daniela before it was too late.

Juliet felt herself slam into something warm before she fell on her butt, and she swore loudly.
“God damn it! That’s the second time today I’ve bumped into someone!”
“It’s the second time today I’ve been bumped into,” came a decidedly harsh female voice. Juliet flinched slightly at the iciness in the voice before climbing to her feet.
“I am so sorry, I guess I wasn’t looking where I was going,” apologized Juliet quickly glancing up. When she saw who she was talking to she did a double take.
“My god, its Turanga Leela!” she gasped. Now it was Leela’s turn to be surprised.
“How do you know my name?” she demanded, not quite comfortable with someone she didn’t know knowing her name. Juliet’s face suddenly set in an expression twice as harsh as Leela’s tone of voice.
“You broke my best friend’s heart,” she stated, her voice cold and steely.
“What are you talking about?!”
“Daniela,” Juliet said simply, but it was enough to make Leela freeze in place.
“How do you know about that?” she whispered.
“Like I said, she’s my best friend bitch.”
Leela didn’t even get angry at the insult; she was too shocked to get upset.
“She told you about us? She promised that we wouldn’t tell anyone.”
“She didn’t tell me until afterwards, after I found her crying her heart out. Do you know what it’s like watching your best friend waste away and not know why? She wouldn’t tell me what was wrong, she was afraid I’d be disgusted with her, the way you were ashamed of her. You broke down her faith, and I didn’t know because she wouldn’t tell me! Damn it, it took me ages to find out what was wrong, and even longer to reassure her I would still be her friend!”
Leela watched Juliet’s tirade and felt a wave of guilt and remorse sweep her.
“I’m sorry,” she murmured. Juliet stopped ranting and looked at Leela with a look of pure disgust.
“You ought to be, though it’s not me you should apologise to, you didn’t break my heart.”
“Right, I have to talk to Danni and sort this out. Who are you anyway?”
“I’m Juliet Checkland.”
Juliet suddenly found herself back on the ground, trapped by a boot on her chest.
“You little cow!” shouted Leela, “You lecture me on breaking Danni’s heart when you intend to do the same to Fry!”
“WHAT! How do you know about Fry?”
“He’s my best friend!”
Juliet gripped Leela’s leg and twisted sharply, sending Leela crashing to the ground.
“Really, well then I’ll give you some advice. Keep the hell out of my way and maybe I’ll stop before he kills himself, or before he goes insane.”
Leela launched herself on top of Juliet, gripping the front of Juliet’s shirt and forcing her to look directly into Leela’s eye.
“You’ll stop before then, you’ll stop right now!”
“I don’t think so! I intend to keep hold of Fry for as long as possible!” screeched Juliet, grapping hold of Leela and forcing her to roll, leaving Juliet on top.
“I refuse to let you break his heart!” yelled Leela, continuing the roll to get back in the top position.
“Like you broke Danni’s!” roared Juliet, throwing Leela off of her, “I least I didn’t tell Fry that I love him, I haven’t promised him the world if he’ll give me a little more time!”
Juliet sprung to her feet and walked over to Leela on the floor, before taking hold of Leela’s arm and yanking her upright. Juliet moved her lips right next to Leela’s ear before whispering,
“If you even attempt to interfere with my plans, I’ll wipe the floor with you, you’re not the only one who knows how to fight.”
With that last warning, Juliet tossed Leela back on the ground and strode away, leaving Leela to wonder what the hell just happened.

Nice update jle! It is nice to see a character that can match Leela in a fight    . Especially when that b***h Leela is gonna break Amy's heart 

Bad Cyclops! There goes your karma   

[Reply #102 on:]

Glad someone remembers this thread  Thanks for reading Ol'coot

Leela's turning into a regular heartbreaker isn't she, first Danni, next Amy.

Its a shame though, that the only person who can match Leela in a fight is the person who's gonna break Fry's heart.

Out goes Karma in comes Drama

Update, time for some drama...if anyone botheres to read it...

Chapter nine

Daniela watched as Juliet tossed Leela to the ground and walked away, in complete shock. She wasn’t close enough to hear what was going on but she could see that Leela had just been beaten, and when Leela didn’t move from the ground five minutes after Juliet left, Danni went into a mild panic. Racing over to Leela’s fallen figure she could see that Leela was still conscious, though dazed.
“Leela are you alright?” asked Danni, her voice slightly strained. Leela didn’t answer and Danni knew it was a stupid question, that Leela wasn’t alright, but what else could she say? Leela was her ex, how could Daniela say anything without showing how worried she was and how much she still cared? What else could she do, what else could she say? All she could do was ask the same question and hope for an answer.
“Leela, Leela please answer me, please tell me you’re okay!” begged Daniela, getting down on her knees and putting her arms around Leela, hugging her loosely. Leela stayed silent.
“Leela, talk to me,” demanded Daniela, her voice rising in pitch and volume as she became increasingly worried. Leela’s eye cleared as she recognized the voice, and then her eye clouded with tears.
“I’m sorry Danni, I am so sorry,” apologized Leela, her voice getting dangerously close to breaking.

As soon as Leela had spoken, Danni had jumped up and stood away from her, not wanting Leela to realize how she felt, but when she realized what Leela had said, she was surprised to say the least.
“What are you talking about, what are you sorry for?”
“I never meant to hurt you Danni, I swear I didn’t. I loved you…I still do love you,” admitted Leela quietly. Danni looked away.
“At one point I would have believed you Leela, but that was before it dawned on me that you weren’t gonna call me, or ask me to forgive you.”
“I wanted to, but I thought you didn’t want me anymore!”
“Not want you?! Damn it Leela, I don’t want anything but you! You’re the first thing on my mind in the morning and the last thing before I go to bed, I dream about you for god’s sake!” yelled Daniela, not able to control the flood of emotions overwhelming her. Leela did a double take at this new information that was being screamed at her.
“If you felt…feel so strongly then why did you leave me?”
“I don’t like being used Leela, I don’t like being with someone who’s too ashamed to tell her workmates about me!”
“I was never ashamed of you! Fry was in love with me and I didn’t wanna hurt his feelings!”
“So you waited until I was gone then used your Asian belle workmate to soften the blow?”
“Yes…no…I don’t know! You were gone, I broke Fry’s heart after he wrote an opera for me, and Amy was just there!” babbled Leela, gripping Daniela’s arms and searching her eyes for forgiveness.
“So much for you love me!” seethed a voice from behind them. 

Amy felt her heart breaking in two as she saw Leela freeze in place.
“So much for you want me and not her! So much for you Turanga Leela!” she screeched, tears streaming down her face. Leela quickly came to her senses and tried to salvage the situation.
“Amy, it’s not what you think!”
“What the hell?!” demanded Amy and Danni in perfect unison, which in turn let to them glaring at each other.
“What I mean is…I mean I…that is to say…I love Danni…but I love you too…”
“What!” yelled Danni and Amy, together again.
“What I’m trying to say is that I loved Danni first and all, but I don’t really wanna hurt anyone’s feelings…god I’m starting to sound like Fry…”

Fry’s mood was foul, he just couldn’t believe that Amy and Leela could be so horrible, he had accepted them, and they tried to distract him from the only person who was healing his heart. It sickened him to think that only the day before he had been mourning the fact that Leela didn’t love him, mourning the fact that all his hard work was for nothing, when all along she had been a conniving little cow who wanted to break his heart, and keep it broken. How had he been so blind for so long? He had been a fool; he should have realized that she could never love him, that she would only end up hurting him. Still, at least the pain had brought him to Juliet, if he hadn’t done the opera then he properly wouldn’t have ended up talking to Juliet, the girl he was sure he loved…

Juliet walked along the sidewalk with a spring in her step. She had beaten up the person who had hurt Danni and who was threatening her ‘big chance’, she had found the perfect sucker to leach off of until she got bored, the day was going great, she felt on top of the world! That was until she felt someone slipping a cold hand into her back pocket. She span round, a look of bored amusement plastered over her face.
“I don’t mind a guy touching my butt, but your hands are cold and I want my purse back,” she sighed fluttering her eyelashes before realizing that she was talking to a robot, a bending robot with an attitude problem.
“I don’t have your purse frizzy!” the robot said. Juliet rolled her eyes.
“It’s the pink clutch that you’re holding in your hand robot.”
“Hey, bite my shiny metal ass! The names Bender, that B-E-N-D-E-R, and I ain’t holding no pink clutch!” denied Bender, quickly shoving something into his chest compartment. Juliet muttered a curse under her breath before speaking calmly.
“If you weren’t such a cute robot, Bender, then I’d be upset…”
“Wha…Who you calling cute? I’m not cute!”
Juliet examined Bender before answering.
“You’re right, you’re not cute, but you sure are shiny!”
“Of course I am I ouch!” yelled Bender as he found himself pushed to the ground.
“Give me my purse so I can find my boyfriend’s apartment!” demanded Juliet.

After he got after the shock of being attacked by a frizzy four eyes, Bender flung off his assailant and stood up.
“I ain’t got your purse lady!”
“Yes you have! Damn it, that purse has Fry’s address in it!”
Bender was stunned.
“Did you say Fry?”

Don't feel that sad for Amy, she'll be alright. Its Fry you gotta worry about

I saw it. I did read it. I can't unread it. 

Seriously, two more fantastic chapters of an amazing story.  I realy enjoy to read every new part of the story.

Sorry that it took me some time till I wrote a reply to chapter 8 and 9 now.

I feel that with chapter 9 now the real "action" of the story will start, while the previous chapters were rather introducing the characters and brought all "into positions" (to speak in chess terms).

For example, chapter 9 brought us so far ...

I read Amy/Leela fic once. It ended quite badly. I see you're doing better. You got TLL's attention, at least. I hope to see what happens.

[Reply #108 on:]

I'm so glad you got to read it all, and I'm glad that you're enjoying it.

@TLL, as normal, you got it spot on, the drama of the story will begin to really heat up, what with the Leela/Amy/Danni bit, the Fry/Juliet bit, plus a nice few twists that I intend to add in to it. I have a feeling that you'll enjoy the next bit, lots of drama and romantic struggling.

@Xanfor, I do hope that this fic will end better than the other, because at the end I want all of you to be completely satified with it. I have TLL's attention, but do I have yours?

@Everyone, I won't call this my fic because I take my insperation from you all and the story would't be possible without you all, I just hope that you'll enjoy the next few chapters when I get them up.

What ever do you mean?  This is a good fic. I'm sure lots of people read it.  Not everyone posts their praises, you know.

This fic is a drama, but it's got some comedy.  So, it's a dramedy.  It's very fun, but it's also a work of art.  So, it's a dramedy fart.

At last it's here, the update!

Chapter ten

Amy and Daniela both stood glaring at Leela, who was stammering for words that wouldn’t end up upsetting someone.
“I mean, of course I love you Amy, but I love Daniela too. Daniela was there first, but I admitted being with you first. I mean…”
“What do you mean?!” demanded Amy, narrowing her eyes dangerously while Daniela just sighed.
“You don’t get it do you Amy?” she said. Amy stopped glaring at Leela and turned to Dannie with a confused expression on her face.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“This is Leela we’re talking about, she wants everything for nothing,” explained Daniela wearily, catching Leela’s attention as well as securing Amy’s.
“That’s not true, I mean…” began Leela, when Amy decided to interrupt.
“Shut up Leela, I want to hear what Danni has to say.”
Leela therefore decide to wisely stay quiet while Daniela continued her calm explanation.
“She’s always been the same, for as long as I can remember. She wanted me but she wouldn’t tell anyone. She wanted Fry to leave her alone but she wouldn’t embarrass herself by telling him why. Now she wants to get out of choosing between us, probably so she can string us both along.”
“Not true! I don’t want to choose because if I dump Amy then she’ll be hurt, and if I dump you then you’ll be hurt!”
“So you don’t want to hurt either of us?” asked Amy.
“Right!” agreed Leela.
“But you have to choose between us?” questioned Daniela.
“Well I suppose, unless you don’t mind me splitting my time between the both of you…” muttered Leela, drawing gasps from both Amy and Daniela.
“You know Leela, after I left you I thought I had made the worst mistake of my life, now I realise I had a lucky escape!” stated Daniela. Amy didn’t bother saying anything, she simply marched up to Leela and slapped her as hard as she could, leaving an angry red mark on Leela’s cheek. She then turned to Daniela.
“I don’t know about you, but I’m leaving, if you want Leela she’s all yours,” said Amy, moving to leave. She was stopped by a hand on her shoulder.
“You think I’d want her after what she just said? If you don’t mind, I think I’ll join you,” said Daniela. Amy looked slightly puzzled.
“Join me?”
“In leaving, and possibly for a coffee?” suggested Daniela with a small smile, with in turn drew a smile from Amy.
“Okay then!”
Amy and Daniela left side by side, leaving Leela standing shell shocked on her own.

Juliet looked at the robot, Bender, in front of her.
“Yes I said Fry, what’s it to you?” she demanded.
“He’s my roommate.”
Juliet paled considerably, if the robot was telling the truth it could wreck everything. Fry was supposed to live alone. Okay, he hadn’t said he lived alone, but he was rich for god sake! Robot or person, the presence of a roommate could destroy all of Juliet’s carefully arranged plans. Especially considering how cute and shiny this particular roommate was, he could prove a distraction. Meaning that she might end up going for the roommate, but she wouldn’t be able to get anything out of it, which would not be good.
“You’re, you’re his roommate?” she spluttered, “He didn’t mention a roommate!”

Bender watched the frizzy girl go white, and he smirked. She looked sort of sweet when she was worrying, he assumed she was worrying because she was very pale and she was tripping over her words. Not that Bender was paying any attention to her, because he wasn’t. She was a glasses wearing woman who was dating his best friend. Not that he cared, she was too tall for him, and she was a human. Not that he was thinking about that.
“Not exactly a roommate, he lives in my closet.”
“He live in your what?!”
“In my closet, didn’t he say?”
“No he didn’t!” she yelled, though she quickly recovered her composure, “Not that I care of course, it’s just a surprise.”
Bender immediately picked up on her voice, she was lying. It was glaringly obvious considering the fact he spent most of his time doing the same. She cared about Fry living in a closet, possibly because she didn’t realise it was a big closet. Bender suspected that she cared more about Fry’s money than about Fry.
“It is a big closet; it’s got its own window. It’s quite nice by human standards.”
“A big closet you say? How big is big?” she asked.
Bender smiled inwardly, he was starting to like this human’s attitude more by the minute.
“About the size of a normal human bed-sit I think.”
Bender watched the frizzy woman’s reaction carefully, and sure enough her smile became more comfortable. It was becoming more and more obvious that this woman was after everything she could get. Bender liked her.
“Do you think you could give me my purse back?” she asked, “I’d like to go and see it for myself, and I’m supposed to be meeting Fry there later.”
Ignoring her request for him to give back the purse, Bender took her by the arm.
“I’ll do one better, I’ll take you there myself.”

Fry slowly calmed down as he walked along the street. Maybe Amy and Leela weren’t trying to be horrid, maybe they had just gotten Juliet confused with some one else. Juliet would never hurt Fry like they were suggesting, he just knew she wouldn’t. Still though, what if Leela and Amy were right, what if she really was just after his money? Fry decided that he would talk to Juliet about it when she arrived at his apartment, and thinking of his apartment, Fry started heading home.

Amy leaving with Daniela?
Now, this a surprising turn-of-events ...
Actually, it is the material trilling stories are made of. Very good!
 

Also, do I sense soon-enough trouble between Fry and Bender there? Involving Juliet?
 

Seriously, both of this I did not see comming. Though, it is very thrilling and good to read, so it is a very good story, in my opinion.

Also, I agree with other readers of this amazing story: I can't wait for more!
