Megorama

chapter 3

Meg walked in with Fry and she saw a group of strange people. One looked like a squid/lobster thing, the other was a purple haired cyclops girl, one was an Asian girl and finally, there was a Jamaican seeming man with glasses and very curly dreadlocks.

"We're back!" Fry called.

"Fry, I thought I told you to never go out for a drink with Bender, it's just asking to drag home a lazy, alcoholic sack of metal!" the cyclops told him, darting her eyes, erm... her eye at him with her hands on her hips.

"I know, Leela, I thought he would learn this time, he sounded really honest this time!"

"Of course he did, Fry, he's a robot, he doesn't have true feelings, like that lost little girl with you!"

The cyclops did a double take.

"Lost little girl?"

"Heeeyy..." Meg waved nervously with her fingers wiggling in her hand.

"Are you one of the orphans on the streets?" Leela wondered.

"No, I'm Meg Griffin." the teenager corrected.

"Oh, nice to meet you, Meg... But you should be home and safe. Your family's probably worried about you for being with Fry and Bender all day."

"Hey!" the robot and the human slacker cried.

"Sorry, boys, but it's true." Leela said with a dull look on her face.

"Yeah, guess you're right..." the guys admitted, quietly, staring at the floor.

"That's okay, my family probably doesn't even care I'm gone." Meg shrugged, walking in. "They sent me here as a prank anyway..."

"Sent you here as a prank?" Leela asked. "Wait, are you from the past? Where did you come from?"

"Quahog, Rhode Island, 2014."

"You are from the past! You need to go back to your own time!"

"Wait, I got some questions!" Fry butt in to talk to Meg, looking childish and very curious. "Who's the president where you're from? Have they invented a device that you can carry your computer around with you everywhere no matter where you are? Do your phones fit in your pocket?"

Leela stepped in front of him. "You'll have to excuse Fry, he's from the past too, only he was transported here from 1999."

"1999, huh? That date feels so old where I'm from." Meg said, feeling intrigued by everyone.

"Well, as long as you're here, I guess we should introduce ourselves, my name's Leela, you know Fry and Bender," the cyclops took the human teenager girl to meet the rest of the gang. "And these are our friends, Amy Wong, she's a college student."

"What's up? Can I laser braid your hair?" Amy, the Asian girl asked with a friendly smile.

"That's Hermes, he's a bureaucrat and manages our deliveries in our Planet Express crew." Leela continued to introduce to the Jamaican guy.

"Hello, dear." Hermes greeted.

"Who's that?" Meg pointed to the last member of the party. "Is he your friend too?"

"Nah, that's just Zoidberg." Fry replied, dryly.

"Always just Zoidberg, always and Zoidberg, never that's my best friend Zoidberg..." the creature said, looking down in sadness.

Meg frowned, sharing his pain. She broke from the others and patted his claw. "I know just how you feel, Zoidberg."

Zoidberg turned to her. "No, beautiful human girl can't possibly understand the pain of what it is to be Zoidberg."
