Megorama II

chapter 2: Lost in the Time Stream

The Year 10,000

"But I promised Leela I'd be on time for dinner!" Fry cried.

"Well... At least she won't come by in a total rage..." Meg said sheepishly, trying to make light of this situation, she couldn't help it, it was from the environment she was raised in before she got sent to the future in the first place.

"She's right, Fry, everyone we ever knew died thousands of years ago." Farnsworth added, making it sound not so bad, despite that being totally sad.

"Everyone we ever knew?" Bender sounded shocked, but then relaxed. "I never liked those guys... Especially those pieces of crap Meg called family..."

Fry opened the door and they decided to have a look around. When they did, they saw the Statue of Liberty was blown up and buried like in the Planet of the Apes movie. There was also an ape Statue of Liberty, and then a bird Statue of Liberty, and a cow, and maybe a slug. Fry was freaking out over it.

"Glad I'm not the only one who makes random references, at least Fry's make sense." Meg commented on Fry's over reactions.

It got dark fast. Everyone decided to make a fire out of old books and get themselves warm. They were stuck here now.

"Man, the future's a total craphole, and whoever lives here is a crap-faced sack of crap," Bender groned, then looked to three people who lived in 10,000 as savages. "No offense, fellas."

"Don't sweat it, man." one of the men told him by his own fire with his friends.

Fry sighed. "I'll never see Leela again."

"At least I won't have to worry about seeing anyone from Quahog here." Meg added, the abuse she had gotten really grew on her.

"I'm sorry, you two, but without a backwards time machine, we're stuck in this craphole." Farnsworth told them gently, mostly towards Meg, he really loved her like she was the daughter he never had.

"Dude, give it a rest." one of the native men told him.

"Wait, I just had an idea!" Meg spoke up, she was actually expecting someone to tell her to shut up, but she kept going with her confidence boost from her new family. "We can't go back in time, but since technology changes every few years or so, why don't we keep going until someone invents the backwards time machine?"

"And then we can go home!" Fry sounded excited.

"Splendid idea, Megan!" Farnsworth praised her, gently ruffling up her hair.

"Hit it!" Bender cheered.

They all got back into the time machine and went to travel further into the future.

The Year 105105

Meg, Bender, Fry, and the Professor came out into what looked like another Ice Age. Fry and Meg visibly shivered as they looked around. They looked atop a hill to see Eskimos coming down on walruses with guns that shot laser blasts. Everyone had Meg go first and they went back inside the time machine to keep going.

The Year 252525

The group was now in what looked like another Renaissance Era with a castle and a knight in shining armor riding out on an ostrich. Meg looked charmed by him, but gasped as he had a sword and was about to slash them. Bender laughed until he was hit and they went away again.

The Year 351120

The time machine was floating in water. There must have been global warming which spread worse than people thought. There came a merman waving to them, but it was revealed to be a trap. Meg felt put off seafood once she saw the bloodthirsty shrimp about to dive in and eat them. Luckily, they got away just in time.
