AN: I was watching Friends today and thought it would be fun to see a reunion at Christmas, so here we are. I was in the beginning stages of writing and changed it completely to have Gunther do the prologue- had to include him somehow. :D
In case anyone gets lost with the children here is the "who's who":
Emma Gellar-Green - Age 9
Tessa Geller-Green - Age 5
Jack Bing - Age 7
Erica Bing - Age 7
Alice "Ali" Bing - Age 5
Michael "Mickey" Hannigan Jr. - Age 6
Alexander "Xander" Hannigan - Age 3
Caitlin Tribbiani - Age 2
Also, "Alex" is from the show Joey
And, as always, I own nothing- I just get to play with them. :D
Extraordinary Merry Christmas
Prologue
(Gunther)
Not much of this place has changed since I became the owner, I wouldn't let it. The orange sofa still sits in the middle of the floor, making it the centerpiece of the room, and the love-seat still makes a comfy place to look out onto the street. The high rise tables and chairs that scatter the room have been replaced over time, but they still look the same, while the green post that section off the room has been repainted in emerald green.
I watch as Monica and Chandler Bing walk in with their three little ones. The eldest two, the twins, what're their names, oh yeah, Jack and Erica, are seven now. Jack is quiet, especially for a boy of seven, responsible and organized while Erica is outgoing, quick-tongued, and a bit scatterbrained.
Chandler carries their youngest, three-year-old, Alice. She was a surprise, a miracle baby since they never thought Monica would be able to have children, but, here we are. People don't think I listen, but I do; I listen and observe.
Next comes Ross and Rachel. I hated him for a long time because he had the woman I loved, but now, not so much. I've met someone, Shelia, and we've been together for six years, we even have a son, Kyle.
Emma is nine now. She has dark eyes and dark hair like Ross, but her face mimics her mother's. She's a solemn child, but has inherited her mother's fashion sense. Her little sister, Tessa is five and the exact opposite, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She's a bundle of energy that never seems to run out and she's as bright as the sun.
Phoebe and Mike are next with their two boys, six year old Mickey and three year old Xander. Both have seemed to inherit Phoebe's carefree style, but with Mike's sense of decorum.
Joey and Alex arrive last with their two-year-old daughter, Caitlin. He's been out in L.A. since 2004 and he seems to be doing pretty well. He's found his true calling: stunt acting.
From behind the counter I watch as they meet and greet one another, exchanging hugs and kisses. I always enjoyed interacting with the six of them and sometimes, I even felt like I was apart of their little group. It's been a while since they've been back and it's nice to see familiar faces, especially at Christmas.
