Benson is in the home phone, calling Pam. "Listen, Benson, we need to talk." Pam said. "We are talking. Ooh, want to hear how many push-ups I did at training today?" Benson asked. "No. We need to really talk." Pam said. "Oh. Okay." Benson said, realizing this was getting serious. "This... this isn't working for me anymore." Pam said. "Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm." Benson said as he nods. "Benson, you're a great guy,

but I have no idea when you're coming back, or-or if you're coming back." Pam said. "Sure, sure." Benson said. "You know, statistically, the further away two mates are from each other, the less likely it is that their relationship will last. I've done the calculations, and our odds are only 1.35%." Pam said, as she starts tearing up. "Mm-hmm." Benson nods again. "I'm-I'm sorry, Benson. It's not you. It's just math. I think we should just be friends." Pam said. "I get it. I was sent millions of miles into space against my will. You're back on Earth." Benson said. "Are you sure you're okay?" Pam asked. "I totally understand. I am good." Benson said.

Later, Benson is sobbing while eating chicken wings. "Pam. Why?" Benson throws his hands in the air, then falls sideways and cries more, smiling sauce everywhere. "No-o-o-o." He sobs. The trio walk out of a door and start walking down the hallway. "Okay, okay, okay. My turn." Rigby said. "Shoot." (Y/n) said. "Would you rather have spaghetti for fingers or have spiders crawl out of your mouth every time you yawn?" Rigby asked, and (Y/n) flinches. "Spiders?! Eh eh. I'd definitely go with having spaghetti for fingers." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, that's a good one. If I eat my spaghetti fingers, do they grow back?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah, but they're whole-wheat pasta." Rigby said. "Aw, sick dude." Mordecai said. "That's disgusting." (Y/n) said. "Well in that case, I got to go with-- Uh..." Mordecai said, and the trio stop when they see Benson crying and eating wings.

"Benson?!" (Y/n) asked in alarm. "Uh-oh." Mordecai said. The trio approach him. "Benson, are... are you okay?" (Y/n) asked softly. "No. Pam dumped me. I've been eating all these wings, but they're not making me feel any better." Benson said. "Hey, wait. Didn't you and Pam eat wings on your first date?" Rigby asked, and (Y/n) slaps him. "Ow!" Rigby said. Benson widens his pupils in realization. "Oh nooooooooo! That's why they're not working! They're just making me think about Pam!" Benson shouted. "Whoa, whoa. Forget about wings." Mordecai said, putting his hands out. "Yeah, these space wings are whack, anyways.

We know what'll make you feel better." Rigby said. "What?" Benson asked. "Um... Fr-rr-ri..." the duo said, and (Y/n) face palms. "Fries." They finished. "Fries?" Benson asked. "Crispy delicious fries. I'm talking curly." Mordecai said. "Wedge-cut." Rigby said. "Criss-cut." Mordecai said. "Crinkle-cut!" Rigby said. "Shoe-string!" Mordecai said. "Artisanal salt, yo!" Rigby said, and (Y/n) giggles. 'Idiots' she thought. "Yeah. Fries will fill the void in my soul." Benson said as he stands up, then runs off. "Whew. We really dodged a bullet on that one." Mordecai said, and (Y/n) groans. "Look guys, I think I should go with him." (Y/n) said. "Aw, come on (Y/n), he'll be fine." Rigby said. "Yeah, the fries will cheer him up." Mordecai said.

"I... I just want to make sure he's okay." (Y/n) said. The duo look at each other. "Well suit yourself." Rigby shrugs, and (Y/n) quickly runs after Benson. "Where can I find fries?" Benson asked. "Benson, wait!" His eyes widen as he turns to see (Y/n) running over. "(Y/n)? What're you doing?" Benson asked. "I... I'm coming with you." She said. "No thanks, (Y/n), but I kind of prefer to be alone right now." Benson said. "I know, I won't say much! I won't even say anything if you want! I just... you know, want to help." (Y/n) said, and Benson sighs. "Fine." He said. Benson then turns to the food truck. He grabs a space suit, and so does (Y/n), and the duo fly towards the truck. "Wedge-cut, criss-cut, crinkle-cut, wedge-cut, criss-cut, crinkle-cut, shoe-strings. Ha ha ha. I think I'm starting to feel better alread—" the duo suddenly get hit with a truck and everything goes black.

(Y/n)'s eyes flutter open slowly. "Oh, my gosh. It was a hit-and-run. That ice-cream-truck guy just took off. Are you both okay?" Roxy asked. "Huh? Where are we? Who are you?" Benson asked as he sees Roxy in surprise, (Y/n) also looks surprised to see her. "I'm Roxy, and you're in my fry truck." She replied. "Are you... you're a talking rock." (Y/n) said, wondering if she was going insane. Roxy chuckles a bit nervously. "Yup, sure am!" She said.

"I'm Benson, and this is (Y/n)." Benson said. "Oh, is she your girlfriend or something?" Roxy asked, and the duo's eyes widen. "Wha what? Girlfriend? N- no! She's my employee." Benson chuckles nervously. "Is (Y/n) my girlfriend?" He asked jokingly. "O- oh! Okay. Sorry about the misunderstanding." Roxy said. "No, no. it's fine. Can I get an order of fries?" Benson asked. "Ooh, me too!" (Y/n) said. "I'm sorry, but we sold out in, like, ten minutes. Got to kick you out. I'm about to go on a supply run." Roxy said. "Damn." (Y/n) mumbled, a little disappointed.

"Ach, typical. The saddest day of my life, then I get hit by a truck, and now I can't even get fries. Why did I think fries could make me happy again? This was dumb. Sorry to bother you, Roxy." Benson said. "Hey, it's okay, Benson. Maybe we could get you some other kind of food to cheer you up." (Y/n) said. Roxy looks at the duo, feeling guilty. "Or if you want to tag along with me on my supply run, I can make you both a fresh batch when I'm done." Roxy said. "Really? You'd do that for us?" Benson asked. "My fries are the best in the galaxy, Benson. We're gonna turn that frown upside down." Roxy said, as her eyebrows moved up and down. "Wait. Are you smiling?" (Y/n) asked, as she pointed at her. "Yep. Roxy's Fries-- guaranteed to put a smile on your face." Roxy said. "All right. So we're just going for a quick grocery-store run or something?" Benson asked, and Roxy chuckles.

"Not if you want the good stuff." She said. The trio end up going to a place known as Potato 4. The three now hold shovels as they stand in front of a mine. "This is the potato planet mine. For the good stuff, we got to go way down there to the bottom." Roxy gestures with her shovel to the bottom. "You sure we can't just go to the grocery store?" Benson asked, and Roxy shoves him, and he rubs his right arm in pain. "Hey, there's a reason my fries are the best in the galaxy. Come on." Roxy said. "Ow. That kind of hurt." Benson said as he and (Y/n) follow Roxy. "So what do we do now?" Benson asked once the three were at the bottom. "I'm amusing we dig?" (Y/n) asked. "Yup!" Roxy said. "You're the boss." Benson said. The three start digging.

Time Skip

"Whew. This is actually kind of fun." Benson said as the three are walking back. "I think I see a smile coming on." Roxy said. "Me too." (Y/n) said, and Benson glares at her playfully.  "Oh, no. Potato bugs!" Roxy shouted. "Huh?" (Y/n) turns to see these giant bugs. "Run!" Roxy shouted. The trio quickly start running away and the bugs chase them. A bug ends up grabbing (Y/n) by her legs. She gasps, and quickly escapes its grasp and backs away, and aims her paws at it, threatening to attack. Benson watches, and his face turns red with anger as he grabs his shovel. He runs over and whacks the bug with the shovel and it falls down. "I... just... want... some fries!" Benson steps on top of the bug, whacking another with the shovel.

Benson knocks another bug over. "Unh. I'm trying to get through a rough day," he hits another one. "And I don't have time for this right now!" Benson shouted. Roxy screams, and Benson and (Y/n) turn to see a bug holding Roxy. "Benson, (Y/n), help me!" She shouted. "Roxy!" (Y/n) was about to fire an attack at the bug, but Benson throws a shovel at it and knocks it back, and Roxy falls to the ground. "Roxy, are you okay?" Benson asked as he and (Y/n) approach her. "I... I think so." She said.

"Good. We better get out of here." (Y/n) said. "I can't believe you did that." Roxy said. "Okay, we got potatoes. What's next?" Benson asked as he grabs it. "Um, right. Uh, we need oil." Roxy said. Next, they go to a corn planet. "Wow, is there a planet for every kind of food or something?" (Y/n) asked, and Roxy chuckles. "You would think." She said. Benson pushes a barrel over. "Okay. Barrel's in place." He said. "Great. I'll open the valve. Unh."

Roxy grunts as she tries to turn it, and (Y/n) walks over. "Oh, here. I'll get that." She said, and begins to turn it and pour the oil into the barrel as Benson watches from behind. "Thanks. I guess chivalry isn't dead. So, if you want to talk about your bad day, you can. I can offer a shoulder to cry on. I mean-- well, not literally, but—" Roxy said. "Uh, thanks. I guess it's just hard being single and in space." Benson said. "I'm single and in space, too." Roxy said quickly with a slight blush. "So, um, do you have any hobbies?" Roxy asked. "Well, I used to be a drummer in a rock band." Benson said.

"Oh. A rock band." Roxy said, blushing a little again, but (Y/n) noticed it that time. "Oh, yeah. Back in the day, I was all, "Two, three, four, doon-doon-dat, doon-doon-dat. Bubba-dubba-dubba-dubba, doon-doon-dat. Doon-doon-dat, psss. Huh?" Benson asked, and he looks up. The oil goes up and then lands on the three. "Ugh!" (Y/n) cringes. Roxy chuckles. "Ha ha ha. Benson, you goo... oof?" She notices Benson moving from side and side as oil flies off him, and gets starry eyed. Benson uses a towel to clean himself.

"Mm. Oh, yeah. That's better. Whew." Benson said. (Y/n) uses a towel to get the oil off of herself as well. "So, where to next?" (Y/n) asked. Roxy shakes herself. "Uh, we got to cut the potatoes." She said. The three go to a fry cutting planet. Roxy blushes even more as Benson grunts while cutting the potatoes. "Uh..." Roxy said. "Roxy? Hey, Roxy?" Benson asked, but to her, his voice sounded much deeper than normal.

"Earth to Roxy." (Y/n) said, snapping her out of her fantasy. "Everything okay?" Benson asked. Roxy starts sweating nervously. "Oh, uh... ha ha ha. Sorry. I, ah-- I, um... I've got to go make a phone call. Excuse me." Roxy flies away and (Y/n) raises an eyebrow. Roxy takes her phone out and calls a friend and it starts ringing. "Come on, come on..." Roxy said.

A friend of hers who happened to be a crystal picks up on the other end. "Roxy. Hey, girl." Crystal said. "Crystal. Listen, I-I need some advice." Roxy said. "Ooh, I know what that means." Crystal giggles. "You have a crush." She said. "Heh heh. Oh, well, yeah." Roxy said, and Crystal gasps and her glasses fall off. "Is he cut? How many karats is he?" She asked, and Roxy giggles. "Well, that's the thing. He's, uh-- Oh, boy-- Heh. He's an organic." Roxy said. "Ahh. Get out. An organic? The ultimate taboo." Crystal said. "I don't know if he's into me. I-I always mess this kind of thing up." Roxy said.

"Roxy, quit worrying so much. You're a stone-cold Rox." Crystal said as he put her glasses back on. "Stop being such a pebble and be "boulder." Flirt with him a bit. Take him to the most romantic place in the universe. You got this, girl." Crystal said. Crystal lifts her glasses. "Uh, I got to roll, Rox. It's like a quarry out here." She said. "Crystal, you are a gem. Thanks." Roxy said. "Hey, Slater, wait up." Crystal said as she follows him. Roxy sighs and floats back over to Benson and (Y/n). "Oh. Hey, sorry about that. Wow, you cut those fast.

You know, you're pretty good at this." Roxy said as Benson smiles at her. "Yeah? Are you hiring?" Benson nudges her playfully, and the two laugh. (Y/n) just watches the interaction strangely. 'This is awkward' she thought. "Yeah. Maybe we should go into business together. What do you say? You want to be be my sous-chef?" Roxy accidentally knocks Benson over and gasps. "Oh, my gosh. Are you okay?" She panicked. Roxy takes the duo to a red planet surrounded by rocks and (Y/n) watches, fascinated. "Whoa." She and Benson said. "This place is awesome, Roxy." Benson said. "It's... amazing." (Y/n) said.

"Oh, yeah. I must've forgot this was here. It's amazing." Roxy said. "Roxy..." Benson began. "Mm-hmm?" Roxy asked. "This day started off being one of the worst days of my life, but you made it into one of the best. Thanks for making it special. Things aren't so bad after all." Benson said. "So we're on the same page, then?" Roxy asked as she flies closer to Benson. 'The same page?' (Y/n) wondered curiously, lifting an eyebrow. "Uh, sure?" Benson asked as he waves his right hand. Roxy stares at Benson, then closes her eyes and starts to float closer. 'Oh no' (Y/n)'s eyes widen in realization. "Uh..." Benson said. "Roxy! Wait, stop!" (Y/n) shouted.

"Oh, ow!" Benson said as Roxy bumps into him, and Roxy gasps. "What was that? "What was that?" I can't believe you." Roxy starts tearing up. "I kiss you, and all you say is "ow"?" Roxy asked. "Wait. You did what now?" Benson asked. "Ugh. Roxy, the entire reason he came here to have fries in the first place was because he had JUST broken up with someone! He's not ready to jump right back into a relationship!" (Y/n) shouted angrily. "O- oh." Roxy said.

"Maybe you would have actually known that if you had asked him why his day was bad!" "(Y/n)!" Benson shouted. "I... um...." She sniffs. "I have to go." Roxy flies out crying. "Roxy!" Benson and (Y/n) shouted. They watch her fly off crying, and (Y/n) instantly felt bad. Benson turns to her. "(Y/n), what was that?" He asked. "I..." she said. "You've been losing your temper a lot more recently than you used to. Why?" Benson demanded. "I... I um..." she said.

"(Y/n)," Benson said. "I'm not mad at you, I just want to know what's going on." He said. "But that's just it, Benson. I don't know what's going on." Benson sighs. "Well, we'll figure it out later." He said. "Yeah, let's go get Roxy." (Y/n) said. The duo get into the seats of the truck and Benson starts to drive it.

"Roxy!" The duo said as they see her fly off into the rocks. They fly after her, but soon the truck was blocked by multiple rocks, and Benson begins to swerve the truck to avoid the flying rocks. "Aah. It's all right. That's what insurance is for. Come on, Roxy. Where are you?" Benson asked. "Roxy!" Benson said, once they spot her and Benson honks, but Roxy flies away. "Roxy, wait!" (Y/n) shouted. Suddenly a rock hits the truck and sends the duo flying and they scream as the truck spills around.

They gasp when they see another rock falling towards them and it cracks the window of the truck, creating a big hole in the window. The pull of space then pulls Benson and (Y/n) out, and Roxy hears them screaming and turns around. "Benson! (Y/n)!" She flies over to the duo and grabs them. Later, she puts tape over the broken window once the three are back in the truck. "As long as we keep it under light speed, that should hold." Roxy said. "Thanks Roxy." (Y/n) said, then she looks guilty. "Look Roxy, I'm really sorry." She said.

"It's okay. I get it." Roxy said. "No. I just want you to know it's not about you. You're a really cool girl, and honestly, I think you're great, but..." Benson sighs. "(Y/n)'s right. "The whole reason I wanted fries was to try to feel better because-because my girlfriend dumped me this morning." Benson said. "Oh, Benson." Roxy said. "It's not the first time I've been dumped. Or the second. Or the third. It's happened a lot. I mean, Dumptown is a place, and I've been there, Roxy. It still hurts, and, well, I'm kind of a mess right now.

I hope you understand." Benson said. "Yeah." Roxy said. Benson and (Y/n) smile at her. "Hey, you know what we need? French fries." (Y/n) said, and Roxy smiles. The three make some French fries then pour them into a bowl. "Oh, we forgot the salt." Benson said. "No, we didn't. My secret ingredient-- space salt." Roxy said as she salts the fries. Benson grabs one and eats it. "Oh, wow. Those are great fries." He said. (Y/n) then grabs one for herself. "These are literally the best fries I've ever tasted." She said, and Roxy giggles. "Feel better?" She asked Benson. "I do." Benson said. "Me too." Roxy said, then eats a fry. "Mmm. This is so good." She said. "Oh, here comes the best part." Roxy said as the three look back at the planet, and the sun comes out from behind it. "Hey, Roxy, are you smiling?" (Y/n) asked. "I sure am."
