scene Central Perk

Chandler and Joey are sitting on the orange couch, talking.

Chandler: "So got any better acting jobs?"

Joey: "WHAT!" points at Chandler "That last one wasn't bad!"

Chandler: "Yeah Joe, it was." He laughs "They made you dress up like a monkey!" keeps laughing

Joey: Trapped "Well - well, you suck!"

I had to say, Joey may be my best friend but he could be pretty dumb sometimes. Like they didn't even pay him much for that zoo one, yet he dressed up... He is the best friend in the world though.

Joey: "Where's Rach?" He looks around

Oh yeah Rachel. I always forgot that she worked here. Mostly cause I forget that she actually works. Because she came from a rich family, but when she ran out and lived on her own she had to get a job. But now she is here broken off, and working.

Chandler: "I don't know..."

Of course just as i said it Rachel came up! She looked tired, but hey it is her first job so she can be. Its kinda cute actually how little work wears her out...

Rachel: "Sorry guys, I'll be with you in a second. Its just so damn busy!"

Yeah it was kinda busy today. I wonder why...

Chandler: "Poor Rachel."

Joey: "Yeah i mean she works SO hard for like no money!"

Chandler: sarcastic "Yes, super hard. Like a Scientist."

Joey: "EXACTLY!"

Wow...that would have been a perfect time for sarcasim... But not for Joey. No! He was serious... Poor Joey, so stupid.

Chandler: "How about we meet her upstairs. We'll pay there." Stands "She'll make us coffee"

Joey: "Alright," stands "but lets make the coffee."

Joey and Chandler walk out the door and Rachel walks over.

Rachel: "They must be upstairs..."

scene Chandler and Joeys Apartment

Chandler: Sitting on the barchon lounger "I need a life, Y'know? You got one, Rachel has one. But me? No! i dont have even the smallest bit of one..." Moves a bit.

Joey: "YOU HAVE A LIFE!"

Joey couldn't believe his friend chandler sometimes. He had a life. Maybe not as exciting as the crocidile hunters, but he still had one. He could go out on more dates though. He never saw what was wrong with Chandler. Low self esstem maybe? Maybe thats why girls dont like him.

Chandler: "Yeah right."

Joey: "You do so shut-up!" Sits on the other chair.

Chandler: Hands in the air "Alright, alright!"

Joey: "Good"

Time Lapse

Rachel enters, she walks over to where Joey is sitting and he stands right as she falls into the chair.

Chandler: Turns to her "Are you alright?" cocks his head

Rachel: "Sits straighter "Yeah I guess, i just HATE work...you know?"

Joey: sits on the bar stool. "Oh yeah, deffenetly!" he takes a sip of beer.

Chandler: "Actually no, I dont. I never waitered." turning to Joey "And neither have you!"

Cut to Central Perk

It's the next day and Joey and Chandler are sitting on the couch. We pan over to the window seat and see, Ross, Monica and Phoebe.

Phoebe: "I can't believe we've never been here before."

Hmm... I have never been here either. My brother lives here... maybe I should move closer. Hmm i'll check it out later.

Ross: "Me neither, Where is our waitress?" He looks around

Phoebe: "I don't know..."

Rachel runs up and sorta trips, but catches herself and stands up.

Rachel: "Hi I'm Rachel," breaths "would you like somthing?"

Ross: underbreath but Rachel can hear it "Jezz took you long enough" normal "Decalf Coffee."

Monica: "Capicino"

Phoebe: "I want a coffee, black, hurry! I am dieing of thirst!"

Rachel walks away kinda pissed.

Monica: "Woah!!" Looks toward Chandler.

Phoebe: "What?" Looks in that direction "Which one?"

Monica: "That guy on the couch!"

Phoebe: "Yeah but what one?"

Ross: "Light haired or dark?"

Monica: Staring "Light..."

Phoebe: "Yeah."

Ross: "Look our waitress is over there."

We go over to Chandler and Joey.

Rachel: Screams "Those people are so rude! Ahh."

Chandler: "It's okay." Huggs her

I feel bad that everyone is alway mean to her, poor Rachel. But you kn--- who is that? That girl with the black hair... She's pretty. Hmm... do I have a chance? Nah. Why would a girl like that want me? Her, gorgeous. Me, ugly. Ha, true. So true. Ha ha.

Rachel: "They are just so annoying!! God, well I gotta go get there stuff..."

She walks off.

She comes back with the drinks and we follow. She hands them their drinks.

Phoebe: Guilty "Uhh...thanks." She takes her coffee.

Ross: "Thank you."

Monica: "Uhh... Do you know that light haired guy on the couch?" shifts in her seat.

Rachel: "Why?"

Monica: "You know what, never mind."

Rachel: "Alright." She walks away.

cut to Joey and Chandler's

Rachel is sitting on the bar stool eating a sandwich. Chandler is on the other one drinking a beer.

Rachel: "Those people havent come in for 2 days! I wonder where they are." She takes a bite

Chandler: "I don't know. I never talked to them, the ONE time they were there." They both laugh. "They'll come back. They just must not live around here"

Rachel: "Yeah I guess you're right. I just hope they DON'T come back!" Chandler laughs

I couldn't help but laugh. But the truth was, I hope they do come back in. That black haired girl looked really hott. Maybe i could get shot down by her!! That would be cool.

Chandler: "If they do come back in get someone to take them for you." He takes a swig of beer.

Rachel: "Don't worry, I will." Pats him on the shoulder.

Chandler: "Thats good." Leans forward "Cause we dont want you working to hard sweetie."

Rachel: "Oh shut up!"

scene Chander's office

I sat at my desk, but I didnt get much work done... I just couldnt stop thinking about that girl. And how to get shot down by her. What to say... Then again, I could never do that to Rachel.

Chandler: "Hmm..." He starts to type.

I really should be getting this work done. Stop thinking about that damn girl! There are more girls you can get shot down by! Ugh. I really goota get this done otherwise I'll be here all night. And I promised to be at Rachels.

He keeps typing.

scene Rachel's Apartment (we never seen it)

Rachek is sitting on the couch reading a book, waiting for Chandler.

Chandler: enters "Hey Rach!"

Rachel: "Why are you late?" Puts the book down.

I couldn't tell her that I was thinking about that girl that was rude to her. That'd make her mad.

Chandler: "I had alot of work."

Rachel: "Oh, okay!"

I feel bad for lieing to her. She's my best friend. But she'd be mad if she knew the truth. So I'll just lie. I did have alot of work!

A/N: Yeah, sorry if the format was awesome. But I have never written one like this before. And sorry for spelling erorrs. You have probably never seem me have a story on this site because I wasn't a memeber. I have written 3 50 chapter long stories about friends though. I promise it won't be that long...I think. But this may take awhile to post new chapters cause I take like 2 days to type them... I really hoped you liked it! And please don't be mad if it sucked. 1. I have never written on like this. 2. I am only 13! I don't know how adults talk and crap. So please read and review! thanks 3
