Monica and Chandler were high school sweethearts. When they both find out they want different things their love falls apart. Twenty years later they meet up at a reunion only to find out that their love survived the years apart.

Monica lives in a house in Westchester. She has a fourteen year old daughter. Chandler lives in apartment 19.

She was in her garage with her mother going through some of her old things to see what she can get rid of.

Judy went over to a box and started to open it.

"Mom please leave that box alone."

"Why on earth would you throw away your yearbook?"

"Mom I just packed that box."

"And now I'm unpacking it." She smiled taking out the yearbook and pompoms. "Why would you get rid of all these memories?"

Monica sighed and faced her mother "All of this stuff is from a life long ago. And besides, there is no point in holding onto the past." She said moving past her mom and to another box "I believe you were the one who taught me that."

"Well I never meant for you to get rid of all the things that made you into the women you are today."

"Being a cheerleader made me the women I am today?" Monica laughed a little

"You were captain of the squad. You gave direction and-and orders, and kicked a few girls off the squad."

Monica laughed at her attempt to make her point.

"And today, you are a chef in a very profitable and successful restaurant." Judy said making her daughter smile

They continued to go through the old boxes when Emma walked up from grabbing the mail. She handed the stack to her mom and went through a couple boxes that caught her eye.

"Anything interesting?" Judy asked her daughter.

"No." Monica flipped through until she stopped at a decorative letter.

"There is a reunion coming up?" Joey asked his friend Chandler who just returned to town for business.

"Yeah." He sighed

"Are you planning on going?"

"I don't know. I have a lot to do here. I need to get settled into my new apartment and get my office organized."

"Chandler, your high school reunion is something you cannot miss." Joey told him

He nodded slowly "There are just so many memories. I don't know if I can face them again."

"What kind of memories?"

"Old memories. Memories that broke my heart." He told him setting up his new desk.

"Oh." Joey nodded knowing what it was.

"Honey you have to go." Judy told her daughter after she saw the letter she tried to hide.

"Why would I want to go and see people I knew twenty years ago when I was a kid?" She said not budging

"Mom you have to go. Come on, it'll be fun." Emma smiled

"What are you a tag team? Besides I have plans."

Judy knew her daughter far too well to fall for that "Is this about Chandler?"

"No." She said softly "Why would this be about Chandler?" She went to pack another box.

"Whose Chandler?"

They looked towards the door to see Pete walking in.

"Monica's first love. They dated in high school but realized they wanted different things so they broke it off." Judy told him flipping through the yearbook to show him a picture.

"Oh." Pete looked at the picture while taking a bite of his apple.

"Yeah." Judy nodded "There is a reunion coming up but she won't go." She told him

"Babe, there is a reunion? You should go." He told her "I'm gonna be away on business and won't be around for a month. This gives you something to do." He told her

Monica sighed "I'm not going because I don't want to go. This isn't about Chandler and this isn't about you leaving. I just have so much work to do with them remodeling the restaurant that I don't have time." She told them "Case closed!"

Chandler grabbed a beer, turned on a light that he only had one light bulb to put in and unpacked a few boxes at his new apartment that night. He grabbed the one labeled 'books' to put on his shelf. He grabbed a stack and right as he moved to put them up the one underneath slipped from his grip.

Chandler sighed and put the rest up before picking it up to put away. He looked at the book. It was his yearbook. Chandler leaned up against the wall and hesitated to open it. As he flipped through the pages he saw Monica Geller and him at prom. They were voted best couple. It's too bad it had to end.

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and finished unpacking the box before calling it a night.

Hope you liked the first chapter! Please review!

You guys all know how much I love to use Pete as Monica's boyfriend...I just don't like that Richard was so old. So Pete is always my next choice.
