TOW THE TEST
Disclaimer: I do not own Friends at all
This episode is right after the real episode: Season 2, Episode 24: TOW Barry and Mindy's Wedding. (Richard/Monica, Ross/Rachel)
Setting: Monica's apartment, the day after Barry and Mindy's wedding
(Ross and Rachel are on the couch looking at the wedding pictures)
Rachel: I am never ever wearing that hideous dress again! (Shudders)
(Ross grins and kisses her)
Rachel: No, seriously, I mean… Seeing Barry again made me realize something. If I had gotten married to him, I would never have been able to be with you. (Rachel looks into Ross's eyes) You're the best thing that's happened to me.
Ross: You don't know how thankful I am for that.
(Kiss)
(Door opens, Phoebe comes in)
Phoebe: Hey you guys. I need to go see Chandler and Janice for a day of "fun", just stopped by for a drink. (Walks over to the fridge and gets a drink out)
Ross: I can't believe they're together again… it's just so weird with Janice being married and all… So where are you going?
Phoebe (chuckles): Oh, I promised Chandler that we would all go to that game they have tickets to…
(Door opens and Joey walks in and goes directly to the fridge)
Rachel: Joe, are you going with Phoebe too?
Joey: Hell no, I'd rather… I'd rather… do anything! Anyways, I have this audition… After I didn't get that Warren Beatty thing, I have to find something to do... Well, see you guys, I'll be back later. We'll meet at the coffee house or something.
All: Okay bye/ see you/ good luck
(Joey exits)
Rachel: She got back home late. She and Richard probably hooked up or something. I'll just go check on her…
Scene cuts to Monica still in bed, staring wistfully at a picture of her and Richard while tears roll down her cheeks while she remembers the night before
Flashback: TOW Barry and Mindy's Wedding
MONICA: Oh my God, I can't believe what I'm getting ready to say. I wanna have a baby, but I don't wanna have one with someone who doesn't really wanna have one.
RICHARD: God. I love you.
MONICA: I know you do. Me too. (pause) So what now?
RICHARD: I guess we just keep dancing.
End flashback
(Monica bursts into tears the same moment Rachel comes into the room)
Rachel: Oh my gosh. Mon, are you okay? What's wrong hunny?
(Monica turns to face Rachel, showing her tear-streaked face)
Monica: I… I think… Richard… we broke up.
Rachel: Oh god, I'm so sorry Mon, what happened?
Monica: … He didn't really want kids.
(Rachel leans in and gives Monica a big hug)
Rachel: Oh, I'm so sorry Mon...
Scene cuts to a few hours later, Rachel is over at Ross's place and Monica is home alone in panic, apparently
Monica (thoughts): Okay don't panic. This can't be happening. Just take the test. Just take it. Now. Okay, here I go.
(Takes a pregnancy test and waits impatiently for a minute, tapping the box vigorously)
Monica (thoughts): It must be negative. It must. It will be. It can't be positive, because it just can't… It can't… It's… It's… (peers at the instructions)
Oh my god. It's positive.
Scene fades and blackens
