Just Another Wedding? My entry for the friends board Merge contest.
Here is how our au universe story is set up…monica and chandler have never met because Ross went to UCLA where him and Chandler were roommates. Maintaining a long distance relationship, Ross is marrying his high school sweetheart and Monica's best friend , Rachel Green. He has asked Chandler to be his best man and Rachel has asked Monica to be her maid of honor. There was never a Thanksgiving or Carol…or anything… here is my story..see rrlove I can mix the two …mondler and lobster.
Oh and I almost forgot these characters belong to hey Marta, Kevin, and David…can I have at least two..Chandler and Ross for my very own…ok they belong to Bright Kauffman, and Crane Productions.
"Oh how does this one look Mom?" cried Rachel as she tried on another wedding gown.
"That's looks beautiful dear, but you would look good in any of them." said Judy as they tried to decide on the perfect gown.
"Try this one next." Monica said as she handed the gown to Rachel. She tried it on and squealed with delight."This is it.Mon." The girls hugged each other as Monica showed her joy for her best friend , Rachel. In about two weeks, Rachel who always thought of Monica as a sister, would be just that.
"Ross is going to see you and die." sighed Sandra ."My little baby is going to be a married woman. I think I 'm going to cry."
Rachel grabbed her cell phone from her purse. "Hi there handsome, what is the flight number? We'll be there. Bye I l love you."
"Hey Mon we gotta go, the boys are flying in. " said Rachel excitedly.
"Boys?" said Monica surprised.
"Yeah I told you, you are going to be paired up with Ross' roommate. I met him once and he is a joker. I think his name is Chancellor or something like that. He is going to be Ross' best man."
"Chandler, sweetie, Chandler, " corrected Judy.
"Oh that 's right Chandler, well anyway we are supposed to go out with them tonight after we pick them up. Come on let's go." said Rachel as she pulled Monica along. "Mom we are taking this dress, could you take care of it?" Rachel asked her mother as they left.
(this is pre 9/11 so they will meet them at the gate..not baggage.)
"There they are," Rachel screamed as she ran over and threw herself into her fiances arms. Chandler stood there unsure of what to do as he watched this very public display of affection.'
"Aw man, get a room." he said disgusted. Ross pulled himself off of Rachel and said "Yeah forgot where I was. Anyway this is my roommate and my best friend Chandler. Chandler this is Rachel's maid of honor and my sister, Monica."
Chandler had to stop for a minute. He had seen pictures of Monica before but they must have been taken a long time ago . She was kind of fat, this girl was not fat. She had these incredible blue eyes and this hair that looked like spun strands of ebony. She wore a blue dress with spaghetti straps and silver sandals. She was a vision.
"And this is YOUR sister, Geller?" he joked. "Monica is it? I am very happy to meet you and hope that we can spend a lot of time together this week."
Monica looked at the tanned athletic guy in front of her. He had that California look with the sandy hair with blonde highlights and blue eyes that seemed to sparkle. When he laughed, you could see the dimples around his mouth.
"Very nice Mon." Rachel whispered in her ear. "Come on sweetie, let's go get you guys''luggage and then get you settled." Rachel said as Ross put his arm around her as they walked out of the terminal.
That night both couples went to a couple clubs where they had a few drinks and danced. Finally a slow song came on and Chandler put his arm around Monica's waist and led her to the dance floor.
"Ross never told me that his sister looked like a movie star. I gotta tell you if I wasn't the best man, I don't think I would ever have a shot with a gorgeous girl like you." Chandler said as he held Monica in his arms.
"Really that is so sweet." Monica said as she blushed.
"Let's go for a walk. The love birds over there will never miss us." Chandler said as they strolled out onto the New York sidewalks. With his arm around her, he started to lean into her. It was obviously the effects of the liquor
"Chandler, I don't know what girls are like in California. But we have just met." Monica said as she pushed him away.
"Oh it 's the story of my life , beautiful girl shoots me down ." moaned Chandler.
Monica stopped for a minute . "You really think I 'm beautiful.?" she shyly smiled.
"Totally." grinned Chandler. He moved his lips to hers and pressed them against her ruby lips. His hands got lost in her ebony locks and she grabbed his butt. They melted together as if they were always meant to be together.
"Guys? Guys? Mon?" they heard a familiar voice say. When Chandler heard Ross' voice, he immediately separated from her.
"Just wanted to grab a smoke and some fresh air and Monica was keeping me company." lied Chandler.
"Well Rach and I have a long day tomorrow, so we thought we'd go home now." said Ross.
"Sounds okay to me." said Monica "I am tired."
As they walked back towards the car, Monica kept looking over at Chandler . There was definitely something there.
