After my meeting with the professor, we talked a bit and started talking about some of the things he was working on. Some of it went over my head but a lot of it was pretty interesting like his research on quantum neutrino fields a neutrino field is a field in physics that permeates all of space where the fundamental particles known as neutrinos can exist and propagate through it's the space where neutrinos can move and interact its gets quantum in its name because neutrino fields require a set amount of neutrinos to interact to exist. The professor was actually the first person to create an artificial neutrino field. Which was a huge breakthrough because before that we could only observe neutrinos by observing their effects on ice via Cherenkov radiation. He tried to explain a bit of the mathematics to me but it was a bit too much for my aching brain. Finally, I bid the professor a good night and went home. When I arrived home, I immediately made the call to elzar's to schedule my date with Amy.
I picked up the phone and dialed the number
"Hello" the voice on the other end I was sure it was elzar
"Hey, um this is pretty last minute but I'm calling to make a reservation for tomorrow for Philip J Fry, and Amy Wong." I said smiling as a heard his breathing become stilted on the other side of the phone.
"Is... Is this a prank." He asked. People know I'm one of the richest men alive.
"No sir this is no prank" I smile.
"Of course, sir. Our establishment would love to serve the esteemed Philip J Fry, and the prestigious Wong family. Uhm our only time for tomorrow is around 6 o clock pm is that fine." Elzar said and I could practically feel his shaking."
"Of course, thank you very much." I said as I hung up and shot Amy a text telling her that our date was tomorrow at 6 om and that I would pick her up outside her apartment. She sent me her address with a bunch of smiley faces. I may have grinned like an idiot.
I decided to take a look at my stats
"status"

My brain felt like it was on fire afterwards. Definitely pushing my brain beyond the human limit might actually cause a bit of discomfort. But soon it calms down, and I relax. I'm drawn back to my thoughts on the dark matter engines that power over 90 % of earths ships, I asked the professor how they work as he was the one who invented them but even he doesn't know, hes studied the blueprints he created the night he thought them up in the dream, but no matter how many times he had studied them he just came away with more questions, how can dark matter move the universe, dark matter does have the effect of pushing and causing ripples in the universe but to move the whole universe is a bit beyond it. I trust antimatter matter reaction engines more than dark matter engines, because I can understand them, I understand the mechanics behind every piece and part, hell I understood their basics back when I was in my old life. But the dark matter engine? that shit I don't understand and it genuinely scares the hell out of me. Because at this point, I have a higher I.Q and compacity for understanding than the professor. Sure, I'm not a complete quantum physics buff, but I would expect to at least understand the underlying concept of how it's done, but no there is no reason that the ship should work the way it works…yet it does, and that annoys me so much. If I were in charge of space travel regulations the dark matter engine wouldn't be as widely spread as it is now. Forget its higher fuel economy and faster speeds. Until its better understood it would stay with in research and development. But people in the future have no common sense they see something works and don't question how. I sigh and put down the schematics for the dark matter engine. I'm not figuring it out tonight anyways. I wonder if I could create a mechanical alternative to the Niblonian digestive system, that would give mom some competition for dark matter production after all she has the overhead of feeding and caring for Niblonian's while we just have to shove some shit in a vat of goo that breaks down the food in a similar way to the Niblonian's digestive system and bang we got concentrated dark matter minus the cruelty. Greater up front cost, but better long-term upkeep, also we can have a corporate spy get pictures of the Niblonian captives, convince nibbler to give a speech on how Niblonians are sentient creatures and how this is basically slavery, moms stock would tank. Not too much though people of the future only really care about themselves. So, they would go for the option that has less cruelty sure but they aren't going to boycott mom when she offers so much that only she can provide. Finished making plans for the night I decided it was time to head off to sleep I put on a YouTube video from my system to sooth me to sleep. Future tv is garbage man.
I woke up with a smile I have a date today, and thankfully I had already picked out a nice suit and tie that goes with my black hair with red highlights. I comb that nanomachine goop that styles your hair for you, and with a smile I'm ready for my date….until I check my watch, while I slept in later my date is still five hours away 4 hours and thirty minutes since I'm picking up Amy. So, I pull up my contact lists, and call bender and invite him over, we decided to play a few games on the console I bought. Nothing competitive because he hasn't been overclocked but still something enjoyable. It was a zombie game where we needed to build up defense to outlast zombie waves, bender and I got to the 15th wave before the tank zombie that explodes upon death took him down, and I was whacked by another tank zombie with his club trying to heal bender. Then we both decided to calm down by watching tv for a while. All My Circuits is trash but its funny trash so me and bender had a good time. By the time I was ready to leave to pick Amy up bender had decided to go to a bar to pick up some fembots.
I had rented a hover limo to pick Amy, and I up so after I showed up, I waited until the limo got there to send a text to Amy to let her know I was there. She walked down and she looked beautiful she had a slim red dress with a slit up the leg, dark black heals and ruby ear rings that probably cost more than my apartment. Her hair was different than usual it was actually long and down to her shoulders, and she had a smile brighter than any stars I had ever seen. I gave a smile and spoke.
"You look radiant Amy." She giggled and smiled at me.
"You don't clean up so bad yourself." With that I opened up the limo door and let her get in first. I went in shortly after and the limo was bathed in a blue light from the mini bar; the seat looked more like a couch and stretched through the limo in an L shape there was a small window where you could make music requests but we didn't really need music because within a few seconds we were already talking. This time it was about our latest projects, she had actually taken my advice and changed her project from harnessing the earth rotational energy, instead the challenge she had decided to take on was no less grand, she wanted to create a functional teleporter, for inorganic matter, thankfully but still its no less difficult the problem is moving something with teleportation was possible as proven by the teleportation ray than mimic a disintegration ray. However, the problem was that humanity has no idea how to create one from scratch. The novelty teleporter ray was created and sold by the Rigellian's and any attempt to study the teleporter ray that they sell in novelty shops has burnt up and destroyed the components leaving humanity without a teleporter for the 60 years we've known them they have refused to sell the equipment to D.O.O.P for years. No matter how many embargoes were levied against them. They refuse to part with them technology because it basically gives them an edge in all warfare. They haven't Faught a war in centuries because their main strategy is to teleport their entire military force into the aggressor's home system and immediately teleport their troops down to the planet in key positions taking out any and all resistance in one fell swoop. Theres no known way to block their teleporters so no embargo against them lasts for long. They're known as the greatest thieves throughout the galaxy not because their government condones theft but because any Rigellian that becomes a thief always has a personal teleporter on hand, and even the thieves refuse to sell the technology because if they did, they know people would be able to learn ways to guard against them. Ergo giving up their advantage.
"You sure don't aim small do you. you think you can really crack it."
"Mhm, I think I can crack it through quantum teleportation not through topological teleportation like the Rigellians."
"Ahh that's a slightly more manageable goal I mean its till going to be difficult but nowhere near as difficult as topological teleportation." I nod
"So, what are your oh so grand plans."
As soon as I tell her my plans for my first major projects, she looks at me like I'm insane.
"Okay never mind how difficult my plan is your is damn near impossible." She says with a look that questions my sanity. "Let's not forget every time this has been done it turned out terribly for the people who had it done to them. It's banned by the earth councils' conventions for a reason."
"Ahh technically what I'm doing isn't against earth council regulations, just skirting them a little. And I think I know where the problems lies and I think I can stop it." She looks at me for a few seconds.
"And you said my first research project was dangerous and terrifying." She gives a small smile likely thinking I'm insane.
"Were here." We hear the voice of our driver call out to us. And I smile and get out first grabbing her hand and helping her out.
We both head into the restaurant and behind a podium is a young man with a dirt mustache and a bowl cut, he's wearing red suspenders and a white dress shirt with black pants and dress shoes.
"Hello, how can I help you."
"Table for two under the name fry." I say with a smile and he looks shocked for a moment.
"Right this way Mister Fry, Miss Wong." We follow him and he leads us to the back of the restaurant its nice and has fish tanks on the walls filled with lobster and beautiful fish from tropical regions the area is lit by candles, and there's a stage for a band to play classical music. They're already playing some piece I don't recognize the whole area screams opulence. While I'm not the richest man in New York thanks to the talking heads of celebrities I am the richest one who can still eat at restaurants. So they're rolling out the red carpet for us.
"Ooh pretty fancy Amy" I said with a sly smirk.
"Yep, it looks like my great aunts dining hall." She said with matching smirk. This is neither of our scenes I'm more the order Chinese and sit and eat on the couch while watching a movie type. She's pretty similar, but first date traditions for rich people must be observed I'm pretty sure the traditions require me to buy her a private island on the second date but I'm not doing that. As if reading my mind she giggles.
"Don't worry I have no need for a private island. On earth anyways." We both laugh yep, we both read miss asters how to date when your rich public blog. We just giggle at each other and soon elzar shows up.
"Well, I'm glad to see you two are enjoying yourself. I brought some bread from the kitchen." He places a basket of bread stick in front of us with a smile like hes trying to sell us a car. "Now what would you two fine young people like to start off with." Amy answers.
"Let's get some mini lobster rolls for the table." Amy says and I smile thank God she's taking charge cause I have no idea what half the shit on the menu is.
"And what about entres?"
"Ill have beef wellington with a side salad." She says smiling I cough,
"*cough* rabbit *Cough*" she gives me the stink eye but blushes a bit.
"And what about you sir." Elzar says looking at me.
"I'll have the wagyu steak with truffle sauce, and grilled asparagus on the side." I said with a smile. And she looks at me with a deadpan look.
"Do you eat anything other than steak?" she said
"Not really, I'm new rich so the finest dining I've ever done was eating at a steak house with my parents." She laughs and rolls her eyes.
Elzar's smile become a little more real since he's sees were not snooty stuck up rich jerks, and he calms down a bit.
"Well, I will go ahead and get you folks your orders." He smiles and leaves leaving me and Amy to talk and talk we do for about thirty minutes until our food is brought out by the bus boy, he doesn't say anything and just puts our appetizer and entre down and leaves. We talk while we eat thankfully neither of us speaking with our mouths full cause that's gross. After we finish our entre elzar comes back.
"Hey folks you guys ready for dessert."
"Sure" Amy says "What would you recommend."
"Well, me personally if the date was successful, I would order the couples ice cream parfait." He says with a smile and Amy looks at me and my heart flutters a second. And I realize that yeah, I like her like that and that makes me feel dread for a moment. what if she doesn't like me back? That would totally suck.
"Yeah, I'd say the date was successful." I say "That is if Amy feels the same way."
She smiles teasingly for a moment before it turns into a bright smile. "Yeah, Id say so."
"Alright then I'll go gets that parfait." Elzar smiled and went to the kitchen to get our parfait.
"So," I said to Amy with a smile "your feeling on us is clear as well?"
"Yep, I don't know much about love or that Gluck, but I do know that I don't want what's happening between us to end." She says with a smile.
"That was so sappy." I smile even though I feel a big ball of molten lava in my stomach. It's a good feeling I think "Like truly awful Amy." I said laughing to myself as she throws a fork at me.
"Jerk!" but she laughs so I know she doesn't mean it we stare at each other for a moment looking into each other eyes with bright smiles.
Elzar's breaks the moment as he comes back with the parfait and we share it. It's pretty big for two people but we both manage to finish it together.
"Ugh I'm so full" she complains after I pay the bill, she's leaning on my shoulder complaining and rubbing her stomach.
"The parfait may have been a bit much." I say with a patronizing smile
Soon we exit and the limo is waiting for us to take us home. We don't even talk she just rests on my shoulder and I wrap my arm around her as we enjoy the closeness and the drive.
Soon we arrive at her apartment and she looks at me with big eyes.
"You sure you don't want to come up with me and cuddle." She said with a saucy smirk.
"I already told you I don't put out on the first date." She giggles but then she smiles at me.
"Nothing like that just cuddling, I don't want to sleep alone tonight."
"Okay that's fine by me." We smile and both get out of the limo. And head up to her apartment when we both take off our stuffy clothes, Amy is wearing her pajamas and I'm in a white undershirt and shorts I wear instead of boxers. We both faceplant on her bed and cuddle together. We go to sleep holding each other with a smile.
