Barbados Nights…a new story …an AU of what I think should have happened in TOW They Are In Barbados

These characters regretfully are the property of Marta, David, and Kevin…although if you would like to get rid of a couple…I'll take Chandler and Ross off your hands , gladly.

The sun rose on the New York skyline. It was going to be a grand and glorious day. Millions of commuters were already on their way to work. That is except for six people….

Monica was making sure that her and Chandler's stuff was packed. She had her list and was double checking to make sure they had everything they needed.

Joey sat in the chair and finished his cereal. Everything had been thrown in his suitcase. He made sure that this time he actually had underwear. This was going to be a fun trip and he would meet his new girl friend Charlie at the airport. She had to go to Barbados anyway, but she invited Joey along so they could be together.

Phoebe was still down, but when Ross had invited everyone to this paleontology conference, she welcomed the change of scenery. She needed to get Mike off her mind. Maybe she could do it while she was laying on the beach.

"Emma, Mommy and Daddy are going on a trip. We are going to Barbados. Can you say Barbados?" Ross said as he held his daughter.

"She's smart, but not that much yet." said Rachel as she packed her bags. "Well Emma, ready for Grandma's." Rachel said as she took her daughter from her father.

"Bye Emma, Daddy will bring you something." he said as he kissed Emma's head. "I gotta get there early to see that everything is taken care of for my speech, I'll see you when you get down there. "Ross said as he went out the door.

"For the last time Joey, you can not bury me in the sand." screamed Chandler. He had fond memories of him on the London trip driving him crazy. "Why can't you bury Charlie in the sand?" he asked.

"Because she is going to be going to all this dinosaur stuff. That's why." sulked Joey. "You know it is really hard to date someone smart.She is so lucky that she is hot."

"Let us not forget we are going to this dinosaur thing to support our friend." reminded Monica.

"Yeah but no one said we couldn't have fun." pouted Joey. "and I plan on having fun."

"Spoken like a true man child." said Chandler.

The five friends arrived after their flight from New York. Rain seemed to be the order of the day. They sincerely hoped that it wouldn't rain for the whole trip.

"Hey guys. " said Ross when he spotted the gang.

"Hey there handsome." said Charlie as she threw her arms around Joey. "Did you miss me?" she smiled.

"Sure did, but I was going to bury you in the sand, and I can't because it is raining." Joey whined. "But I am sure that we can find some other indoor fun." he said as he nuzzled her neck.

"Sorry honey, I 've got a discussion group." Charlie said as she grabbed her folder and rushed off.

"Oh my God, it's really you!" screamed one of the paleontologists.

"Yeah that's right, Joey Tribbiani, from Days of our Lives, " said Joey proudly.

"Oh not you, oh Dr. Geller!" squealed one of the women paleontologists. "I have followed your career and I wanted to say I am really looking to your speech."

"Okay this is scary, Ross has a groupie." said Chandler.

"Don't you know who I am ? I am Dr. Drake Ramoray from the Days of our Lives. Days of our Lives! The television show." Joey screamed.

"Sorry I don't watch television. Dr. Geller , could I have your autograph ?" the woman asked as she handed her notebook to Ross.

"Sure and who is this to?" he asked surprised.

"To Beatrice, " the woman said in awe.

Ross wrote, "To Beatrice , I dig you , respectfully Dr. R. Geller." he handed the paper back to the woman. Everyone in the gang just stood there as they witnessed this freakish event.

"I don't believe it, " said Monica. "My dino geek of a brother is a celebrity."

"They have never heard of me? They don't have televisions? What do they point their furniture at?" exclaimed Joey.

"Well I think we know where Ross is going to find that lucky wife number four now?" giggled Rachel.

"Okay I came for sun and fun, where's the sun?' said Phoebe.

"Guys, guys, I am sorry it's raining, but I am sure that once you get into the spirit of the conference, you'll forget about the bad weather." said Ross.

The gang stood in the lobby and looked at the rain and the group of paleontologists gathered around Ross. Phoebe suddenly looked up and gasped.

"David, what are you doing here?" she asked.
