==The Story==
<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic. If lucky, this will also be the split for the UK version.
If you know how, make links of the first reference to any other characters, places, or things that have/should have their own articles.
-->
===Act I===
Everyone is gathered at Planet Express to celebrate the new year (3001). The Professor created the ball that will be dropping, but it causes a blackout. Instead they get out the [[What-If Machine]] and Bender asks "What would happen if I travelled back to 1999?" [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is writing a story for a class at [[Coney Island Community College]], [[Michelle]] complains then leaves to meet a "friend". [[Mr. Panucci]] calls Fry into work. Bender arrives in 1999. Leela arrives in 1999 (nude) and looks for Fry at Coney Island Community College, in Lap Dancing 101 she learns he left the  course, and gets some clothing. Fry finishes the story and Leela tries to get it, but he has to make a delivery.
 
===Act II===
Leela and Bender interrupt at [[Applied Cryogenics]], they inform him that his story helps save the future (as well as him becoming president) Bender proves himself as the good one and Leela transforms into a Bendernator, she continues to attempt to get the story. Fry and Bender try to reach a time portal above Times Square. The Bendernator alerts the authorities to Fry's "kidnapping". Fry and Bender are on "the ball" but can't reach the portal, Fry goes to the authorities and Bender self destructs. The story makes it through the portal, where [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] finds it and becomes president. Everyone complains about the story (except Zoidberg) and they watch "the ball" drop late.
<!-- Add an Act III if the comic feels like it should split in three and was published as one comic in the UK. -->
 
==Additional Info==
===Trivia===
*First sighting of the What-If Machine in a comic.
**It can run on batteries.
<!-- Add any trivia here, in bullet-list form. -->
 
===Quotes===
<!-- Add some funny quotes fromt he episode here. Try not to reuse quotes that were used as Act titles in the headings above.
Format Example:
*'''Fry''': No I'm... doesn't.
-->
*'''Professor''': The ball I invented used too much energy, resulting in a citywide blackout!<br/>'''Fry''': We need to counter it with white out! Quick, to Hermes' supply closet!
*'''Fry''': (reading an excerpt from ''Futurino'') ...the handsome man with the orange hair appeared from out of nowhere and stood before the survivors of the apocalypse, greeting them with an ominous 'what up'...
*'''Leela''': Shut up fry.
 
===Inside References===
*Another revisit of the time Fry got frozen, this time it has no relevance to continuity.
 
===Outside References===
*Parody of ''Terminator''.
**This comic was released earlier in the line up in the UK to coincide with the release of ''Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'' in cinemas.
*It is <!--apparently -->an American tradition to drop a large ball in Times Square on midnight of New Year's Eve
<!--
===Fast Forward===
List instances of things from this episode that are referenced later.
-->
 
===Goofs===
*If this is new year 3000-3001 then [[Xmas Story]] is pushed to Xmas 3001 because [[Xmas Time Is Fear]] takes place on the Xmas Eve before this comic. This doesn't make much sense because Fry knew [[Santa Claus|Santa]] in ''Xmas Time Is Fear''. Obviously this puts the comics in a different continuity or the comic's writers used the wrong year.
*Michelle refers to her new boyfriend, and future ex-husband, as Jean-Claude, but in [[The Cryonic Woman]] his name is Charles.
 
===Special Features===
*Comic - ''The Continuum Less Travelled''<br/>The Professor thinks he's created a time machine. He attempts to travel ten minutes forward in time. After the alarm sounds Farnsworth learns from his staff that he'd just been asleep for ten minutes. He celebrates his creation of the world's most expensive alarm clock.
