'The Late Philip J. Fry' by Lewis Morton

IF YOU DON’T WATCH IT, SOMEONE ELSE WILL

Fry’s continual tardiness is getting to everyone: especially Leela, who is furious when her boyfriend turns up late for her birthday meal. Fry vows to make it up to Leela by taking her to an exclusive restaurant, but just as he is about to leave, the Professor forces him to help test his latest invention: a time machine that only travels forward in time. However, when Fry and Bender enter the machine, the Professor has a funny turn and sends them hurtling into the year 10,000 AD, a time when society is in ruins; with no way to get back, the trio are forced to keep jumping into the future in the hope that they will find help. Meanwhile, back in 3010, Leela and the Planet Express crew believe that Fry, Bender and the Professor went to Hedonismbot’s bachelor party instead; and when a report comes in of a accidental nuclear explosion at the party, they conclude that their friends are dead – and so they carry on their lives without them…
