"Futurama Halloween Special "

Read It In The Dark
by: Drew Ciccotelli

Setting: Bender, Leela, and Fry are sitting on the bridge of the ship when they suddenly stop dead.

Bender: “What the…?”

Fry: “Leela, what happened?”

Leela: “Nothing on the damage computer.”

Bender: “Fry go out and push.”

Fry: “No way, not again last time this giant space squid attacked me.”

Leela: “I’m sure it’s nothing.” “I’ll call for help.”

She turns on the radio transmitter.

Leela: “This is Planet Express Delivery calling for Quadruple A.” “Our Spaceship has stop and we are calling for assistance.”

Radio: “This is Quadruple A give me you coordinates and your credit card number.”

Leela: “We are at…” “Hey the radio died.”

Then in a flicker of light the main power goes off and the ship is immersed in darkness.

Fry: “Leela were are you?”

Bender: “Wait a minute I’ll turn on my eyes so we can see.”

Bender eyes light up causing the place to light up slightly.

Fry: “Ahhh, my eyes.”

Bender: “He he, sorry.”

Fry: “Uh, Bender where’s Leela?”

Bender: “She was in the chair right over there.”

Fry: “There’s her wrist communicator.”

In the distant part of the ship they hear metal bending and chains rattling.

Fry: “Hold me.”

Bender: “What do you think I am a robosexual.”

Fry: “We have to find Leela.”

Bender: “Or we could use the escape pod.”

Fry: “I’m okay with that.”

Bender: “The escape pod is on the bottom deck.”

Fry: “But that’s where the noise is.”

Bender: “What else do you plan on doing?”

Fry: “Okay, you first.”

They walk slowly down the corridor and continue to hear the strange noises emanating from the bottom deck.

Fry: “I’ scared Bender.”

Bender: “Pansy.”

Fry: “We may never see Leela again.”

Bender: “More wine for me.” (Pulls out wine)

Leela’s distant voice: “No, No, NOOOOOOO!”

Bender: “What was that?”

Fry: “It was Leela.” “We have to save her.”

Bender: “Why?”

Fry: “Just because, I don’t know we just have to.”

They rush downstairs to be horrified at the site they see. Nibbler had sneaked into the ship and had grown 13 feet tall with a giant gapping jaw with sharp drooling teeth.

Bender: “I told you we should have cooked him.”

Fry: “Leela are you okay?”

Leela: “Do I look okay, my pet is trying to eat me for heaven’s sake.”

Bender: “I’ll create a diversion you get the grill ready.”

Bender jumps on top of Nibbler but is thrown away and his body is broken into eight pieces.”

Bender's head: “Now I did it.”

Leela: “Give him his chew toy Fry.”

Fry: “Here Nibbler come and get your rubber flamingo.”

Fry throws it into the cargo hold and locks the door behind Nibbler.

Leela: “Good thinking Fry now get me out of these chains.”

Fry: “I’m sorry Leela.”

Leela: “For what?”

Fry: “I was going to leave you and take a escape pod and leave you alone with whatever was down here.”

Leela: “Uh, Fry I…”

Fry: “No Leela I can’t be forgiven.”

Leela: “It’s not that.”

Fry: “Than what is it?”

Leela: “Nibbler is right behind you!”

Fry: “AHHHHHHH!”

Suddenly Fry wakes up in bed.

Fry: “It was only a dream, it was only a dream.”

Nibbler comes in and smiles with his giant sharp teeth.
