Whoa! Long time no see!

I had this idea a while ago, but I never went through with it. Ok so this isn't a Friends crossover, but its based loosely on Friends. It's going to be 6 young adults in New York City who hang out together and stuff, which is basically the plot of Friends. I'm going to try my best not to directly steal plotlines from Friends itself, but if I run out of ideas I might. I do have a few exciting plot twists prepared though. Also, I am not a good humor writer, so most of my humor will probably be through Garfield(Beast Boy) and this show will be more dramatic then Friends itself. Hopefully I can keep up motivation for this! Reviews and favorites help quite a bit. If you have any good ideas or criticisms, hit me up! I'm friendly!

Thank you for giving this a read! Sorry if it sucks :/

P.S.- The third girl is not going to be Terra. I hate her.

P.S.S.- Pairings get mixed. Quite a lot. We love a messy friend group.

Disclaimer- I own nothing. Legit, nothing. Wish I did though.

On a cloudy day in New York City, a young, bald, black man walks down the street, a giant laundry sack in his hands, which is stuffed to the brim. He's wearing jeans and a light blue t-shirt which loosely fits his toned figure. He strolls down the street whistling and enters a dry cleaning store, meeting the familiar face behind the counter.

"Ah, Mr. Stone! Brought the team's uniform, I see?" says the man behind the counter as the bald man approaches.

Mr. Stone nods. "Football season is halfway over, and these uniforms are long overdue for a dry clean."

The man smiles and takes the bag from him. "Thank you, Mr. Stone."

"No, thank you. From me and the team," he smiles, and waves a quick goodbye.

Unfortunately, the bald man was not looking out behind him. As soon as he turns, he crashes directly into the woman behind him. Both fall onto the ground.

"Oh my god miss, I am so sorry!" Mr. Stone says, quickly getting up and offering a hand to the woman on the ground.

The woman looks up and they recognize each other instantly.

"Victor Stone?" the woman asks. She is a tall, black woman wearing a yellow sweater and black slacks, with her curly black hair in a tight bun.

"Karen Beecher!" Victor exclaims. He helps the woman up and instantly gives her a hug. "Is this the dry cleaner you always go to?"

She laughs and shows off her beautiful, radiant smile. "No, I just moved into an apartment building across the street a few days ago, and needed some clothes dry cleaned."

"That's so great! I live right around the corner from here. We should totally catch up! What are you doing right now?" he asked.

"Well, I'm starting to unpack boxes after a while. I had an acting job that took up a lot of my time in the city, so I-"

"Wait, acting? I thought you got a degree in business?" Victor interrupted, confused.

"Well, that's a long story," Karen replied, attempting to tuck a loose curl behind her ear.

"How about you tell me it while we're unpacking boxes?" Victor smiled.

"Are you sure? There's quite a few... and a lot of furniture that needs to be put together," the woman replied hesitantly.

"Oh! My roommate and some of our friends are waiting for me. How about we go get them, and we get your apartment put together?" the bald man told Karen.

"That's... not a bad idea. You're not all brawn, I guess," Karen chuckled, heading for the door.

"Uh... are you forgetting something?" Victor said.

Karen cocked her head in confusion, and then remembered the weight in her hand. Her cheeks started to turn a light pink. Victor let out a hefty chuckle as she walked back up to the counter and sat her laundry bag on it. She thanked the man, and then her and Victor left the dry cleaners.

*Scene Break

On the same cloudy New York day, in a local coffee shop, four young adults sit around a coffee table, which has a love seat, a couch, and a stool surrounding it. They're having a conversation, unaware of the busy coffee shop around them.

"Ok Dick, listen. All I'm saying is that if you have dated for a year, why haven't you guys talked about moving in together? I mean, it's been a year! I'm sure Vic is sick of hearing you guys moan through his apartment wall," states the boy in the stool. He is wearing a tan suit, which matches horribly with his tan skin, and has short, curly, blonde hair. He reaches for a green coffee cup and takes a sip of god knows what.

"Garfield, not everyone moves in with their girlfriend ten seconds after meeting them," says a short, black haired woman, who is wearing a purple collared shirt and khakis, sitting on the love seat. She doesn't even look up from her book. Garfield scoffs.

"Not to be rude, but Rachel is right," pitches in a cheery redhead, sitting on the couch, who is holding a glass cup filled with lemonade and a little umbrella. She is wearing a pink maxi skirt and a white collared top. She takes a sip of her lemonade, and smiles.

The black haired man, Richard aka Dick, next to the redhead laughs, and loosens his red tie, which contrasts his black suit a little too much. "Yea Gar, I want to make sure Gia is sane before I move in with her."

"Shut up! I moved in with Terra after three months, not ten seconds," Garfield scoffs, shooting daggers at Rachel, who doesn't even notice.

"And are you going to get your security deposit back? Probably not. That girl punches more holes in walls than I could ever imagine," Richard replies back, with a teasing grin. "I mean when Kori went over to borrow your VHS of The Lion King, Terra almost put a hole through her."

The redheaded woman, Kori, nods.

"Ok, whatever," Garfield crosses his arms.

"Plus, me and Gia are going to dinner tonight. I think we're going to talk about... moving in together," Dick said, with a smile on his face thinking about his girlfriend.

The door bursts open and in walk the two from the earlier scene, Victor and Karen. Both laughing about something that's probably stupid. Everyone turns around recognizes Victor, but not the girl.

"Hey everyone! This is my old college best friend, Karen Beecher. Karen this is... everyone," Karen throws a shy wave, and 'everyone' waves back. "We're going to help her unpack her apartment," Victor continues. Groans heard from 'everyone'

"I've got a date tonight. With Gia. Our one year is tomorrow, remember?" Dick insists.

"And I have quite a lot of papers I promised I'd help my coworkers sort tonight... although I would enjoy helping unpack very much," Kori chimes in, disappointment in her voice.

Victor scoffs. "You two get off the hook... I guess. Gar and Rachel, you two, however, are not."

"Great! I love unpacking!" Garfield jumps up, and makes his way to grab his jacket.

Rachel frowns, but also stands up. She closes her book and puts it in her purse. "Can I get a new unpacking partner?" Garfield comes back and hands Rachel her jacket, then puts on his own.

"I'm a great unpacker, Rach," Garfield teases.

"Don't call me Rach. Thanks for my coat," the woman replies, sternly. Garfield grows a slight grin on his face.

"Ok, let's go. Dick, please, for the love of my ears, go to Gia's place tonight," Vic pleads. Dick scoffs.

"Nice meeting you, Karen!" Kori smiles and waves, which Karen returns a friendly smile. The four unpackers exit the coffeeshop.

"I better get going too. Bye Kori!" Dick says, getting up to grab his jacket.

"Good luck tonight!" Kori replies, smiling at Dick. He throws a wave, and exits the coffeehouse.

*Scene Break

Four people are gathered in a small apartment, unpacking. Garfield is building the entertainment center, and Rachel starts placing various items onto the finished shelves of the entertainment center from a box labeled 'Living Room'.

"Ok, who has this many books?" Garfield exclaims, as Rachel continues to take book after book out of the box.

"You do realize I own a book store, right?" the black-haired woman states bluntly.

"Ok but do you read this much?" the blond says, as he puts the last screw into the left shelf. He shakes his head. "Nope. Don't answer that."

They stay in silence for a second, but it is of course, interrupted by Gar.

"No, seriously! Who needs this many books? It's not like she reads them all the time," he breaks the silence.

"People read all the time," Rachel replies calmly, but looks very annoyed.

"I bet even someone like you doesn't read 20 books in a week."

Rachel raises an eyebrow. "I don't, but I could."

Gar laughs. "Ok Rach, I bet you couldn't read 20 books at least 300 pages by next Friday at..," he checks his watch, "6:32 pm."

"Don't call me that," she states, sternly.

"If you do, I will stop calling you Rach. If you don't, I get to call you Rach forever," the blond cocks an eyebrow and grins.

Rachel hesistates, but then sighs. "Fine. It's a bet. But can that start when we finish here, at Karen's?"

He smiles. "Got yourself a deal."

Rachel takes out a picture frame of Karen and what looks like her family. As she sits it on the left side of the entertainment center, the weight causes the left side to fall apart.

"Nice going, blondie," the black-haired woman chuckles, as Gar stares at the shelf in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Karen is putting clothes in her dresser in the bedroom, while Victor is finishing up putting together her bed.

"Karen?" Vic asks.

"Hmm?" the curly haired girl replied.

"Remember back in college?" he said, in a non-specific tone.

"What... about it? When you had a big crush on me?"

"Hey! That's... extremely true. Well, remember when I asked you out and yo-"

"And I denied you because I was eyeballs up in schoolwork? Yup," Karen says as she folds a blue blouse.

"Yea... well... you aren't eyeballs up in schoolwork anymore... so... I was wondering... if we could... you know..," he stuttered, still not making eye contact.

Karen laughed. "I guess one date couldn't hurt. You're not a very smooth talker, Vic. Just like college."

"Hey!" Vic said defensively.

*Scene Break

A poorly lit bedroom contains a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, and one pale lamp. A few decorative objects lay around, but none do much to brighten up the room. Laying in bed, under the covers is Dick and a beautiful brunette woman.

"Happy early one year, baby," says the woman.

"You too, Gia," Dick smiles. He pulls the woman closer to her and puts his arm around her.

"So, I have a question?" asks the black-haired man.

"Shoot," Gia replies, turning to face Dick.

"So... do you think... maybe... we're ready to like..," he chokes on his words slightly. Gia nods. "Move in together?" he finishes.

A wild grin makes its way across Gia's face. "Richard, I was wondering if you would ever ask. Of course we can!" She laughed, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

*Scene Break

In the coffee shop, Dick sits on the love seat, Gar sits on the stool, and Karen and Vic sit on the couch. It is sunny yet cold outside, and traffic is busy as tourists roll in for a Saturday afternoon trip to New York.

"Richard Grayson, I never thought I would see the day where you got tied down," Gar flashes a toothy grin.

"Shut up Gar. It's just us moving in together. That doesn't mean we're... tied down," Dick states, taking a bite from a scone.

"Plus, no one is more tied down then you, Gar," Victor says, and chuckles.

"Leave me alone!" his grin turns to a frown and his cheeks turn a light pink as he crosses his arms.

Rachel enters, reading a book intensely.

"Afternoon Rac..," Gar starts, but Rachel quickly takes two books out of her purse and tosses them at Garfield. They hit him directly in the face, and taken off balance, he falls over.

"Two down, eighteen more. Now don't talk to me," she mutters, without taking her eyes off her book. She takes a seat next to Vic on the couch. Visable confusion is seen on everyone else's face.

"I bet Rach that she couldn't read 20 books in a week," Garfield grins, as he pushes his way back onto the stool.

"Wow. Get ready to lose," Dick said.

The door swung open again. In walked Gia and Kori.

"No, I think this color is beautiful! Don't dye it again," Kori tells the brunette, with a smile.

"Really? Thank you Kori," Gia smiles. She looks over and sees Dick. She takes a seat next to him and gives him a kiss, then waves hi to everyone else.

Kori awkwardly stands behind the couch.

"Oh, Kori, you can have my seat," offers Vic, as he gets up from the couch. "In fact, Karen, I think now would be a great time to cash in my offer. Movie on me?"

"Thank you for the seat, Victor," Kori smiles as she sits down between Karen and Rachel.

Karen looks up at Vic. "Fine. But only if something good is playing," She gets up as Vic grabs their jackets. They both wave goodbye to everyone and exit the coffee shop.

"What was that about?" Garfield asks the group.

"Don't you remember all of Vic's stories about how he had a huge crush on her in college? They're probably going on a date." Richard clarifies.

Garfield nods. "I do remember that. I just didn't put that together."

"Do you ever put anything together?" Dick replies. Kori giggles.

"Hey! Don't be mean!" Gar's face turns sour and he crosses his arms.

"So, what are we going to do on this lovely Saturday?" Kori asks the group.

"Well, me and Gia were going apartment hunting today. I mean you guys can join in if you'd like," Dick chimes.

"Why don't you guys just move into a place one of you owns?" Gar says to the couple.

"Well, both of us have roommates we don't want to kick out," Dick replies. Gia nods in agreement.

"Tori would take my head off if I asked her to move out," the brunette adds, laughing.

"Apartment hunting sounds fun! Let's go!" Kori says. "Rachel, are y-" she turns to the black haired woman, who has fallen asleep.

The rest take notice. Gar laughs. "God, she really wants to prove me wrong. She must have stayed up all night."

*Scene Break

After a debate between Space Jam and Romeo and Juliet, Karen and Vic decided on neither- The Crucible.

"You never read the book in high school?" Karen asks the bald man.

"Nope," he replies, as they sit in their seats, then takes a fist full of popcorn.

"It was a good book. It's a fictional tale about the Salem Witch Trials. Mostly fictional, I think."

"Interesting," he replies.

The movie starts. About halfway through the movie, Victor reaches his hand over to hold Karen's. Taken by shock, Karen swipes her hand away. A look of defeat crushes Vic's face, but Karen doesn't take her eyes off the screen.

*Scene Break

A dusty-looking New York City apartment is filled with movie and sports team posters, as well as mis-matched furniture. Gathered around the breakfast bar is Garfield, Victor, and Dick.

"Ok... she offered to see Romeo and Juliet... one of the most romantic stories of all time... and you denied her?" Gar questions.

"No offense, but for a scientist, you are really slow," Dick chuckles. "You do know how that story ends, right?"

"I have a math and science brain. And yea, I know... but still! It's still a little romantic! Especially the new version!" Gar exclaims.

"You also tried to see Space Jam with her? Really?" Dick questions.

"Ok! I'm sorry! I made mistakes. Maybe that's why she didn't want to hold my hand," the bald man says.

"Yea, because you were watching a movie about witches getting hanged, dude!" Gar replies. Both men look a little shocked Gar is cultured in something. "What? I read that book in high school."

*Scene Break

"Thank you for taking me shopping, Kori. I don't know any good stores around here!" Karen smiles, talking to the redhead as they stand in the middle of Manhattan Mall.

"It's alright! I wanted to help you... and I needed new clothes anyways," the redhead smile. She is carrying quite a few bags, while Karen is only carrying one or two.

"So, how do you all... know each other? Like, this is a weird group," Karen asks, as they both take a seat on a bench.

"Well, Rachel and I went to high school together... and we moved here together a little bit after high school ended. We don't have strong ties with our parents and neither of us went to college. Garfield is my brother, well my half brother, anyways, and I met him the last time I talked to our dad, which was a few years ago. And then we met Richard when he moved in across the hall. Then Victor moved in with Richard, and we all became good friends."

Karen nods. "That's quite a history."

"Yup. But we all love each other."

"Even Garfield and Rachel?"

Kori laughs. "As much as they argue because of their different personalities, they are still friends. Rachel has helped Garfield very many times, and vice versa."

"Wow. I hope I get to hang around you guys more than," Karen replies.

"You will! As long as me and Victor have something to say. He seems to like you... a bit," Kori giggles.

"Yea, I can see," Karen quickly changes the subject. "Do they have a Bloomingdales here?"

Kori shoots up and gasps. "I almost forgot about Bloomingdales!" She grabs Karen's arm and the women make their way across the mall.

*Scene Break

Everyone is hanging out in an apartment the same structure as the other one, but this one has both matching furniture and a balcony. It is nighttime outside. Rachel and Garfield sit on a floral patterned loveseat and everyone else sits on a matching couch, except Victor, who sits on a light brown barcalounger. All the furniture is gathered around a coffee a white coffee table.

"I can't believe someone snatched that apartment before me and Gia could even put in an offer!" Richard exclaims.

"Relax. You guys started looking... Saturday? It's Wednesday. You guys should be fine," Vic replies.

"Yea but... I'm excited to move with her! And a little nervous... a lot nervous?" Dick tells the group.

"Its common. You guys will be fine," Garfield says.

"Whatever you say, lovebird," Dick replies in a mocking tone.

"That reminds me! I better go home. Terra's probably home by now," Garfield tells the group. He gets up and gathers his things.

"Do you have a curfew now?" Vic asks the blond.

"I... um.. no! What... I gotta go," Garfield stutters, and then leaves.

"That kid and that girl... man," Dick shakes his head.

Rachel is seen asleep on the loveseat, book in hand.

*End Scene

Back in the same apartment, at night, Kori is cleaning up the kitchen area a little, while Rachel sits on the couch, frantically reading.

A buzz is heard. Kori goes over to the buzzer.

"NO!" Rachel yells. Kori has already hit the answer button.

"It's Garfield. Rachel, you can't hide forever! I'm coming up," the loudspeaker plays.

"Kori, hit that button and I swear to god I wil-"

A door is heard opening on the loudspeaker. Someone else let Garfield in.

"Don't let him in! I have another book left!" Rachel cries. Kori looks very confused and panicked.

A minute or so later, a knock is heard, and the door swings open because it is of course, unlocked.

"Ha! You didn't read twenty books!" Garfield cheers as he rushes to Rachel and sees her still reading.

The black haired woman crosses her arms. "Fine. Be happy."

"I am!" Garfield laughs. "Rach," he emphasizes.

Rachel has a very angry look on her face. "Whatever. Go back to you and Terra's hole in New York City."

"I will! You have a nice night too!" Gar smiles, and starts to walk away. He waves goodnight to Kori, and leaves.

Rachel turns to Kori, putting her book down. "No offense, but your brother is annoying."

Kori nods in agreement.

This is short and eventless, but I promise I will make longer chapters. Anyways, yea! Thanks for reading. Fav or something if you enjoyed it. Or keep reading(if I make more chapters after this, which I plan on doing). Thanks!
