This choice: Back at Planet Express, Amy is trying to catch up • Go Back...Chapter #7Playing catchup with ketchup by: Unknown Back at Planet Express, a pile of hot dogs we find Amy in the employee break room gorging on a pile of hot dogs each topped beautifully with onions and ketchup slowly diminish with each passing second. Her recently acquired ambition of getting up on the latest trend of being big had thrown out any fear of returning to her fat self. In fact, she has encouraged two employees, Fry and Bender, to encourage her, "Go Amy Go! Go Amy Go! Go Amy Go!"
"What in the hell is this infernal racket?", hollered Professor Farnsworth ambling in.
"We're supporting Amy! She's gonna be huge with us as her glorified cheerleaders!" said Fry.
The Professor shook his saggy, wrinkly head, "Fry. You know you two already come off as bumbling nincompoops...hell you'll be fine. Amy, I may have just the invention you need." Amy wiped off the leftover ketchup from her mouth, "Invention? Like what?"
Professor Farnsworth's eyes smiled behind his thick glasses, "Come and I'll show you!"
In the lab, everyone gathers around the company table, absent of Hermes, Leela, and Zoidberg. "Lookie what I have here," His wrinkly old fingers holds up a black stylish ring.
"What is it, Professor?"
"Aah. I was just waiting for one of you to predictably ask that. This is a weight changer. Just like the one my extremely brief girlfriend had. Remember? The time we all got three hundred dollars for some reason.”
“Oh yeah.” Everyone said in unison.
“Except this has the power to make you any weight you desire."
The landing bay doors opened to allow the Planet Express spaceship land. From the extended stairs Leela, Hermes, and Scruffy descend the stairs. "Hey. Weren't we supposed to be on some sort of delivery?” Bender asked Fry.
“I dunno. This was just more interesting to us I guess.”
The three joined the others in the workshop. Leela is the only one to speak, “Why is it that I take Hermes and Scruffy the Janitor on a mission that everything goes right, but whenever I take you two boneheads we go through twenty-two minutes of B.S. each week.”
“I dunno. There’s just more exciting things to do I guess.”
Leela rolled her eye, “Anyhow what’s going on here.”
“Amy is going to try out my new experiment to gain weight to be cool, hip and trendy. Like the young folk!” The Professor explained.
Amy stepped forward, “I am the young folk.”
Leela nodded her head disapprovingly, "Look, Amy. If you truly want to gain weight then you have to do it the way God intended. By sitting on your butt and eating artificial junk food."
"Or,” The Professor interjects, “You could take the simple way and simply put on the Bell bigger to get what you want quickest. What could go wrong with that?"
Amy looks between both the Ring and Leela, "I choose...I choose..."
