Time Keeps on Slippin'
The Harlem Globetrotters come to Earth and challenge anyone to a game of basketball. The
Professor accepts and plans to make some atomic supermen to beat them. He makes them, but
they are just babies, so he sends his crew to the tempest nebula to gather chronotons
which will speed up time. Fry, meanwhile, is trying to get Leela to go out with him, but
she keeps putting him off. They feed the chronotons to the babies, who grow into
supermen. During the game, time starts to skip randomly foward, and the Professor loses
his fifth man. Fry takes on the challenge, and they lose the match after a time skip.
Time starts skipping foward more and more often and for longer. Bubblegum of the
Globetrotters helps them solve the problem. Fry is still trying to ask out Leela, who is
slowly growing more used to the idea. Bubblegum has a theory that moving some stars might
divery the chronotons that are causing the skips. After a lot of skips, he and the
Professor get a grant for all the money in the world and build an enourmous gravity pump.
Fry has learnt how to drive the ship and use the pump to impress Leela. The plan fails.
They must cause the galaxy to implode to stop the chronotons. Meanwhile, Fry and Leela
find themselves suddenly married after a skip, and Leela thinks Fry tricked her. They
skip to their divorce. Fry thinks he will never know what he did to make Leela love him,
but, leaving the galaxy to implode, he sees that he wrote her a message in the stars. It
is sucked into a black hole, and Leela never saw it.
