Okay, so this is just an idea that I might not even carry through but its kind of like, the journey that the cast of F.R.I.E.N.D.S have been through and how they've been best friends since 1994 and it ends in 2004. So there'll be around ten chapters, or maybe more. I don't know.
Chapter One - The Journey Begins.
1994.
Jennifer nervously entered the studio, glancing at everybody around her. There were so many people in the average sized room. Producers, directors, writers, executive producers. She smiled at everyone, biting her lip as she did so. Finally, the cast. A man around her age strolled up to her, waving enthusiastically.
"Hi, I'm Matt. I'm gonna be playing Joey!" She chuckled at his wide smile and bright eyes. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. "Hey, I'm Jennifer, but um, you can call me Jen. I play Rachel."
Calm down, dude, Matthew thought to himself as he approached the large building. He was thinking about walking away when a big, burly man stopped him. "Mr. Perry, you have to go inside." He had a hairy moustache that terrified Matthew in a strange way he couldn't really explain.
"Okay… alright. I-I, how big is it in there? How many people? Are they nice? Are the rest of the cast nice? Please tell me they're nice." He bombarded the security guard with questions, but as soon as he did he could tell it was a mistake. "I'm just gonna go in now…" He mumbled, walking by, red in the face. "Good idea."
Courteney wiped the tears from her face, standing up. "Hey, who's in there? You okay?" Came a voice from outside. It was probably just another crew member checking in. "Its, um, its Courteney. Courteney Cox, I'm here because I'm Monica and yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh, well… hi, Courteney. I guess we'll be working alongside each other. I'm Lisa. I play Phoebe." She opened the cubicle door, and Lisa gasped. It actually was Courteney Cox. This girl was telling the truth.
David nodded at the man who was telling him the story. He wasn't listening, but he had to make a good impression on the first day, right? "Yeah, yeah, of course. I mean - your ex-wife; crazy!" He just hoped they were still talking about that.
"Finally, someone gets me. Alright, you better go, you're needed on set." David sighed in relief as soon as he was out of earshot, and he jogged across to the set of Monica's apartment.
"Alright, guys. Introduce yourselves, get to know each other a little better and then we'll go over the script." Somebody said to the cast, opening his bottle of water. "Oh, um, alright." Jennifer muttered, getting scared all over again. I mean, sure, Matt was nice but will all the others be?, she thought to herself.
"Hi, I'm Matt Le Blanc, I'm gonna be playing Joey."
"Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing."
"Well, I'm David Schwimmer and I came her because I'm Ross but apparently, I'm also somebody's relationship therapist."
"I'm Courteney Cox, I play Monica Geller."
"My name is Lisa Kudrow. Oh, and I'll be playing Phoebe!"
"Hi everybody. My name's Jennifer Aniston and I'm going to be playing Rachel Green. I'm really excited, are you?"
They all started talking and laughing amongst each other, and right then, the whole crew looked at them all, all six of them, and knew that from that day on, they would be best friends.
"Alright, everybody. Have you looked at your scripts?" The writer asked, looking expectantly at Lisa, David, Courteney, Jennifer, Matthew and Matt. "Yeah." They all chorused, looking back down at the worn-out scripts. "Great, then lets get on with the table reading. Courteney, you're up first." Marta said finally with a wide grin spread across her face.
This was going to be exciting. "There's nothing to tell! He's just some guy I work with!" Matt looked down at his script, uttering the words, "C'mon, you're going out with the guy! There's gotta be something wrong with him!"
After the table read, they all headed out to lunch. "Alright, alright. How far do you think the show's gonna go?" Lisa asked with a mouthful of taco. "Um, maybe a few years." Jennifer stated, laughing. They had all went to Taco Bell and ordered a big celebratory order of tacos. "I don't know, but since the start of my acting career, I've always wanted to go ten years on a show. Maybe this'll be our big break." Matthew said after a while, wiping the grease off of his fingers.
"Maybe." David whispered to himself, looking at his five new friends. "To the start of a new era, to F.R.I.E.N.D.S!" He exclaimed, raising his glass. They all clinked glasses and went on to finish their food, making general chit-chat along the way.
Okay, I know its only 864 words but hopefully, it'll get better next time. Reviews are appreciated! xx
