Description After a harsh delivery, The Planet Express crew stop at K-O's gas station/dinner to grab some food and gas. They look around the gift shop. Fry finds an old ancient rubix cube and buys it for a quarter, a dime and a nickle, with a dead moth included. Back at the Planet Express Headquarters, Fry messes around with the rubix cube. The others have no idea why Fry would waste time jigsawing with such a thing. Then, all of a sudden, Fry does something to make the rubix cube explode with light. It drops to the ground, glowing, and begins to encrypt a message, in mysterious writing. The Professor recognized the writing as the ancient alienese language. He found the translation to be saying "Eatable but flubs with a wave. Return to center with a spoon full, no cane." No one knows what it means at first. Amy figures it out being about the planet Jalu 5, the planet of living jellotins.

The crew heads to Jalu 5. There, Fry tries to mess around with the cube seeing if he could uncover another message. The crew finds the jellotins gathered together at the center square where the leader yelled about his disapproval on the shedding of hairs from those of the next planet Mulon 6. It was then that the Hukas of Mulon 6 began to dump their hairs on the jellotins and the crew. A mysterious jellotin named The Spoon finds the Planet Express crew and asks him about the box. Fry figures it was the rubix cube and shows it to him. The Spoon takes the crew inside the center hall and takes them down deep within the heart of the planet. They soon entered a room where they meet the Great Gloop. The Professor asks the Great Gloop about the rubix cube and why the ancient Aliens, the makes of the alienese language, would leave someone to grab it and suddenly decode messages on it. The Great Gloop answers that, before the aliens went extinct, they left a decoder to lead those to discover the secret to discover one's fate. Suddenly, a mysterious figure attacks and Leela lead the killing blow. It was in that instant that Fry drops the rubix cube and the cube, once again, explodes in light and shows another message saying "Shed a skin in a jiff. The answer lies at the end of the tip." They realized that it meant the planet Mulon 6.

The Planet Express crew head to Mulon 6 where things get hairy, real hairy. The Hukas were attacked by ships dumping hot liquid, tasty jello. The Spoon hides himself in a box with the crew telling Hukas that it was suppose to be delivered to the cave of Lei-hare. They find the cave of Lei-hare and walked on, avoiding traps and detours, until they stop at a wall. The wall displayed what seems to be a giant jigsaw puzzle with open spaces left to put pieces together in. The rubix cube begins to glow again shinning a spotlight. Fry drags and drops the pieces of the puzzle to complete an image of some rock centered around two curves. The Professor realizes that, at every 2nd line of the first two clues, it was directly pointing to the middle of both planets Jalu 5 and Mulon 6 having the place where one may find out about their fate. That's when Mom came in gunning gloop at The Professor with Moe, Larry and Igner behind her. She came for the same thing the Planet Express Crew were looking for. They left everyone glooped down while they went to the middle beside the planets. Leela manages to break out of the gloop. She frees Fry and Bender just as the Professor told them to catch up to om and stop her from revealing her fate. They fly through the battle that was taking place between the planets and their species. They catch up to the middle where Mom was just about to have her fate be revealed. A image shows an X in a circle with alienese writing. Mom grabs a translator tablet from Moe saying "Your Future Will Be Denied." Angry, Mom yells and throws the translator tablet at the screen breaking it like glass. She believes an error has caused the thing to not show her fate. Back at the Planet Express Headquarters, everyone celebrates with a cold fudge with jello sundaes. 1,086 years later, an alien finds the rubix cube, messes around with it and explodes with light revealing a message in the alienese language.

As you can see, Both the Jellotins and the Hukas are placed on either side with the Jellotins to the left and the Hukas to the right. Drawing the part with Fry, Bender and Leela may seem similar to another Futurama related drawing I did a year ago in this way. I almost wasn't gonna post this without a backstory to the drawing. Good thing I thought of it at the last minute.

See if you alienese language know-it-alls can decode the message on either side. You ain't gonna get squat out of me. Have fun trying!

A fan comic could work as well too.
