Something I wrote one day, on FFF (Futurama Fan Forum) ...
My fan fic – New Episode.


Int Planet Express Day
Fry, Leela and Bender can be seen sitting around the table.
The Professor and Hermes walk through a set of futuristic doors.
Following them is a hover dolly carrying a crate.

The Professor
Good news everyone!

Hermes takes a seat at the table.

The Professor
Today we will be taking a package to British Museum in London.

Bender
What's so good about that?

Hermes
We will be saving on starship fuel!

Leela
I don't understand Professor.

The Professor
I have already booked You and Fry on a transatlantic cruise.

Bender
What about me?

The Professor
You'll be going as cargo, in this crate.

Leela
Wouldn't a transatlantic cruise cost more and take much longer than the three second journey
to London?

Hermes
You'd think so, but no.

Fry
I remember when I was on a cruise...

Flashback to a scene from the episode A Flight To Remember

Bender interrupts the flash back sequence

Int Planet Express Day

Bender
You're crazy Fry!

Leela
Wait a minute, if the crate's for Bender, what does the British Museum want?

Fry
Do they want a Bending Unit?

The Professor
Oh my, no.
The British Museum has ordered this.

The futuristic doors open and the backup hover dolly brings in an identical crate.

Fry
A crate?

The Professor
No you ninkompoop!
It contains a cryogenically frozen man from the twentieth century.

Fry
Oh snap!

(To be Continued)

Int Planet Express Day
Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes are seen sitting around the table, The Professor is standing up.
Two identical hover dollys can be seen holding two identical crates.

Bender
So I'm going in this crate then?

The Professor
Not unless you have any objections Bender.

Bender
Well I...

The Professor
Then that's Good News Everyone!
Bye.

The Professor makes his exit walking out the futuristic doors.

Hermes
Leela, as crew captain, it is your duty to see that this package makes it to London in one piece.

Leela
I'll keep my eye on it sir!

Hermes
Very good, now since the Planet Express ship will be out of action for this mission, I'm going to have to declare it on paid vacation.

Hermes pulls out a briefcase from under the table, opens it, takes out some papers and a rubber stamp.

Int Hermes Briefcase Day
Hermes' arms and hands are the only parts of Hermes that are seen, Hermes holds a page that reads Planet Express Ship, a picture of the Planet Express Ship, and other writing that's unclear can be seen on the page. Hermes stamps the page with his rubber stamp and On Paid Vacation can be seen on the page.

Int Planet Express Day
Hermes can be seen sitting at the table stamping pieces of paper, Fry, Leela and Bender are seen standing around the two crates.

Leela
I don't know, but I know who'se not.

Bender
Who?

Ext Streets of New New York Day
Fry and Leela are walking down the streets of New New York, following them are the two hover dollys with two identical crates.
One of the crates can be seen to be moving around.

Leela
Behave in there Bender or you won't pass customs.

Pan in to the agitating crate.
The crate stops agitating on pan.

Bender
This is no way to travel.
I'm all about class and dignity.

Fry
Don't worry Bender, we'll be there before you know it.

Bender
Then why don't you ride in the crate?

Leela
Bender Shhh.
You'll bring attention to yourself, and Planet Express can't afford three tickets.

Bender
Then why do you need me?

Leela
Because The Professor said so, besides, we're a team.

Bender
Ever since you and Fry became a couple, there's been no team, just a duo with a third Bender...
Bender.

Fry
Awww...
Don't worry Bender, we'd always be a team.

Bender
Really?

Fry
Yes, really.

Bender
Screw this, I'm not going to the British Museum in a box!

The crate agitates and Bender appears breaking out of the crate, knocking the other crate off the backup hover dolly and on to the ground, the crate breaks open on impact to reveal a cryogenics tube.

Bender
Woo-hoo!
I'm the greatest!

Leela and Fry gasp.


Snd EFX clock ticking and bell chime once.

The Cryogenics tube door opens
Robert awakens dazed and confused, stepping out of the tube.

My fault?
If you hadn't a' shoved me in that crate, none a' this woulda' happened!

The Professor
Shut up the both of you!

The shower sound stops.

The Professor
Now the British Museum want a full refund plus compensation for their exhibit you destroyed!

Leela
You mean that Bender des...

The Professor
Quiet you!

Robert is seen walking through the futuristic doors.
Looking traumatized.

Robert
I coughed in the shower and some mechanical arms popped out and went straight down my gullet. On the plus side my throat and lungs feel cleaner.

Fry
So you're from the twentieth century too?

Robert
I was in New York...
