Chapter 1: The Big Fight

By Friends freak 101

It was just a normal day, Chandler playing games in the computer during work while Monica is bossing the people in the restaurant. As usual, Monica would stay behind for one more hour so she could clean up the kitchen. The minute she cleaned up the whole kitchen, she walked out of the restaurant and saw the last person she wants to meet.

'Oh my gosh! Richard!' said Monica in surprise. 'HI!'

'Hey long time no see! How are you and Chandler?' Richard asked.

'Chandler and I are fine.' replied Monica. 'What are you doing here?'

'Nothing, just want to say hi...' replied Richard. 'Hi!'

(Long silence)

'Anyway...I better be going, Chandler is coming home early.'

'Oh..' replied Richard sadly. 'Can we just at least go out for a cup of tea and catch up on things, just as friends.'

'Um, I guess ten minutes wouldn't hurt. Besides, I heard that Chandler is going out with Ross and Joey to watch the Knicks game. So why not?' Monica replied.

'Great!'

In Central Perk

'Oh my gosh! I can't believe that you and Chandler cannot have children. I mean you two are so ready to have children.' said Richard.

'I know...' whined Monica. "But we're thinking about adoption. How about you, what's new with you?'

'Nothing much...except the fact that I won 100,000 in a lotto.' replied Richard.

'Wow! Really?! How?!'

'It's a long story...'

Monica and Richard continued on for about an hour, not knowing that they were being watched.

Chandler gasped. 'You've got to be kidding me!'

Ten minutes later...

Monica enters the apartment looking all jumpy and happy while Chandler just stares at her with his arms cross, giving her a "You're dead!" kinda look.

'Hey sweetie! How was your...WHAT?! Why, Why, Why are you giving me that look?' Monica asked, in a very shaky voice.

'Oh please! I know your secret now! I know now that you still see him whenever I'm not around.' bursted Chandler.

'What are you talking about?' Monica said, giving him a puzzled look.

'What am I talking about?' Chandler said now screaming. 'I'm talking about you and Richard having a date in Central Perk!'

Monica's eyes widened and her jaw drops. 'Oh my gosh you saw us!' She covers her face with her hands.

'Yu-huh!'

'We were just having a normal conversation as friends.'

'Yeah right! You were soooo into him.' lowering his voice a little.
'I miss you so much Richard! You look so handsome Richard! I wish I married you instead RICHARD!' Chandler said while imitating Monica.

Monica gives im a shocked look with her hands on her hips and mouth wide open.

'Whoops! Have I gone too far?' Chandler thought to himself.

'I can't believe you still think of me like that!' snapped Monica. 'You do know that I don't love him anymore, right?'

'Yeah...It's just that, you promised me before that you wouldn't go out with him again' replied Chandler.

'Yeah...but still...' muttered Monica.

'But what?!' screamed Chandler.

Monica just stood there still in surprise. She hasn't seen Chandler that angry before and she also hasn't heard him scream before.

'I'm sorry! It's just that I got really shocked then panicked after I saw you talking to Richard.' Chandler said softly while walking towards Monica. 'I just didn't want to lose you.' He hugs her but she doesn't hug back.

'I want to be alone for a moment.' whispered Monica as she wipes away a few tears from her eyes and walks into their bedroom.

'Look at what you have done now!' Chandler thought to himself as he slaps his hand across his forehead.

The next moring...

'Morning Mon! What's for breakfast?' Joey asked.

'Oh morning Joe!' yawned Monica as she came out of the bedroom. 'Can you wait for a minute or two while I make breakfast?'

'Fine!' Joey said while making a face. 'By the way, I don't mean to be nossy or anything but what happened with you and Chandler last night?'

'Nothing!'

'Oh please Mon! I heard all the screaming!'

'It's none of your business!'

I just want to see if I could help.' whinged Joey. ' This morning when Chandler went out to go to work, he looked really upset. I asked what's wrong but he just ignored me and walked away. Oh and believe me or not, but I think from the corner of my eye, I think I saw a teeny-tiny tear, or it might have been sweat, I don't know.'

'I think I should talk to him.' she said with a worried face. 'Besides, he did say sorry. He deserves to be forgiven.'

Joey nodded with agreement. 'Can I have my breakfast now?'

Right after breakfast, Monica skipped work and went straight to Chandler's work to forgive him and also apologize for breaking her promise on going out with Richard. She was sprinting into Chandler's office, then stopped when she saw him doing the last thing she wants him to do.

'Oh my gosh! Chandler!' Monica screamed in disbelief. 'Are you smoking again?'

'Mon! Mon! Oh my! What are you doing here?' said chandler in a panicky voice.

'What am I doing here? I was going to come here so I could apologize to you for going out with Richard.' yelled Monica. 'Then I come here to your office and see you smoking-again! How long have you been doing this? Oh my gosh! Are you amoking behind my back?'

'Mon! Breathe! Relax! It's not what you think it is. I was just really depressed and upset this morning that I got tempted to use five little packs of cigarettes. But don't worry, I promise you that I won't smoke ever again.' He reaches out to hug her but she backs off.

'That's what you always say but you still keep on smoking.' Monica muttered.

'Oh c'mon! I forgave you when you went out with Richard!' snapped Chandler.

'But you promised me before that you won't ever smoke again!' shouted Monica.

'And you promised me that you won't ever see Ricahrd ever again.' Chandler shouted back.

They kept on arguing and shouting at each other for one hour without noticing the people staring at them outside his office.

'I WANT A DIVORCE!' they both screamed at once. That was that. Monica stormed outside his office angrily and crying.
