Chapter 1
It was a cold December day. Monica Bing walked through the crowded streets of Manhattan. She thought about doing some shopping, Christmas was only a week away and she had yet to buy presents for Joey, Rachel (of course), and even Chandler. She had an idea for Joey...but she knew she wouldn't carry it out. It would be just way too cruel.
"No, you will not buy Joey the man-purse...." she mumbled to herself as she walked briskly. She couldn't help but laugh at the memory of Joey walking into Central Perk with that ridiculous thing slung over his shoulder.
She decided just to buy him a gift certificate to Subway...that would probably make him very happy. But as for Rachel...she knew there was no way she could find that girl a gift that she would actually keep. Rachel had enough clothes, jewelry, accessories, etc. All Monica could think of is maybe something for the baby...yea, that would be good.
Now for the toughest one of all....Chandler. She knew the gift had to be perfect, but it couldn't be too thought out. If she thought too much about it, she knew it would only spell disaster. He didn't like to wear jewelry much, she wasn't too good at picking out his clothes...She couldn't think of a thing to get him.
"Man," Monica whined, not even realizing she was doing it aloud, "why can't Rachel still be a personal shopper??"
Monica decided to ditch the shopping effort and turn around. She needed a cup of coffee and a visit to Central Perk.
The only person in Central Perk when Monica walked in was a half- asleep Ross.
"Hey there buddy." she said to her brother. He didn't look up or say a word back to her. Okay, so maybe he wasn't just half-asleep. Monica walked over to the couch he was sitting on and plopped down.
"AYYYY!!" Ross wailed, waking up instantly. Monica wondered if she'd really scared him that bad or if---
"Oh my god Ross I'm so sorry!!!" she cried. Obviously she hadn't noticed the full cup of coffee sitting in Ross' lap.
"Hot.....coffee.....ow." he barely gasped. Monica looked down at his pants and laughed the hardest she had in a long time.
"Thanks for the support SISTER now could you get me some napkins or a pitcher of cold water or SOMETHING?!?!"
"Yes darling." Monica stood up and walked to the counter, laughing the whole way. She grabbed a handful of napkins and turned to walk back over to Ross, when she saw Chandler storm into Central Perk.
This can't be good, Monica thought.
