Just a fair warning, this chapter is the last one and the weakest one of them all. I would just like to say that I'm very very sorry and I understand if you don't like this.
Incase anyone is confused, this is set 5 years later from the last chapter.
Please read and (try to) like it!
I can't believe it. The day has finally arrived! I have waited for this day for over a year. Our special day. The day me and Leela get married.
I look out at the crowd. I see everyone I know. The Professor, Hermes, that janitor guy Scruffy and Zoidberg are sitting in the front row. Also sitting with them are Leela's parents, smiles on their faces. Leela managed to get them a one day free pass to the surface from the Mayor so that they could attend our wedding. There are other people there as well but I only really care about my friends.
I'm standing at the altar, dressed in a tuxedo. Standing up with me is Bender, my best friend and my best man, Amy, Leela's best friend and her maid-of-honour + bridesmaid, and also the Preacher-bot.
Suddenly, the organ starts playing 'Here comes the bride'. I wanted them to play 'Walking on sunshine' when Leela is walking down the aisle but Leela wanted the 'traditional' music, but she did say something about a surprise at the end of the ceremony. Everyone stood up when Leela walked into the room. She looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. She stood next to me and held my hand. She smiled at me as we stood facing the Preacher-bot. everyone sat down as the Preacher-bot said:
"Dearly liked, we're all here today to see these two get married".
I still don't believe that this is happening. I always dreamed of this day but I never thought it would actually happen, but it is. To be honest, I never thought we would get this far. I knew that we would finally end up together but deep down I always thought that Leela would dump me after a while, but she always reassured me that she would never do that. I was also surprised when she accepted my proposal; I thought she was going to say no! But I'm very glad she said yes, because this proves that we are meant to be together.
Sometime later...
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride if you want to".
We kissed and everyone cheered. People throw confetti at us as we walk down the aisle. I expected 'Here comes the bride' to start playing again but what was playing instead was 'Walking on sunshine'. It was at this point where Leela leaned in and whispered "Surprise". I smiled at her and she smiled back. I love that she knows my favourite song. I whispered "Thank you" and held her hand, as we walked out of church as Mr and Mrs Phillip J. Fry.
At the reception
I have always dreamed about my wedding day, but I never would have guessed that the groom would be Fry. Going out with Fry was the best decision I ever made. He was just so sweet and caring to me, more than my other boyfriends ever were. Oh, and the way he proposed to me, so sweet. I walk up to my apartment to find roses taped to the door and a note telling me to go to my bedroom. So I go and I see Fry, surrounded by rose petals and candles, down on one knee. He asks me to marry him and I say yes immediately. I'm so glad I did. These past 5 years with Fry were the best years of my life. I can't believe I didn't go out with Fry sooner.
Right now everyone is coming up to us to congratulate us. We see Bender sitting on his own looking sad for some reason so we go over to see what's wrong.
"Hi Bender" we said at the same time. We both chuckled at that.
"Oh hi guys. What's up?" he said. He doesn't look or sound happy that we came over. Maybe it's because he doesn't like it when we do 'couple' stuff around him.
"We just came over to find out what's wrong. You look upset". Fry said. I like that he cares a lot about Bender.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I'm happy for you, really I am".
"Really?" we asked at the same time, again. We laughed again at that.
"Really. Now go enjoy yourselves, it's your day".
"Okay, if that's what you want". Bender gets up and starts to leave but Fry stops him.
"Just so you know, if you need anything, you can always talk to me about anything" Fry says to him. He hugs him then comes back and takes my hand, asking me for a dance. I say yes and he takes me to the dance floor, for our first dance as husband and wife.
I look out on the dance floor to see Fry and Leela dancing and I can't help feeling that this is all down to me. Without me trying to help, these two would have never got together. I still don't believe that he has forgiving me for lying to him of course it's hard to stay mad at me for too long. It took Leela longer but she eventually forgave me to.
Of course there are down sides for these two getting together, mainly that he doesn't have enough time for me anymore. Before he used to spend all his time with me but now he spends every minute of the day with her. Also, after they come back from their honeymoon, he's going to move out of our place and moved in with her.
Maybe that's why I'm sad. The very idea that my best friend is leaving me is making me depressed. I can hardly drink anymore. I don't know why though, it's only Fry. I never used to like him, I thought he was an idiot, but now I can't imagine being without him.
I guess I feel a bit jealous of Leela. Mainly because she can spend time with Fry whenever she wants but for me, I'll probably never see him again. In fact, just now when he hugged me, that's the most attention he's given me in weeks, because he's been so busy planning the wedding. I just don't believe that Leela gets to spend the rest of her life happy with Fry while I'll spend the rest of mine alone and miserable. Maybe he was better off without her. But I hated seeing him unhappy.
I have another look at them, then I realised that all I wanted was for him to be happy, and now he is happy with her. All the while, thinking one thing:
Why can't he be happy with me?
I'm so sorry about the ending. I know it sucks but trust me, this is the best ending I could come up with. (feel free to disagree with this, I don't mind)
