The One with All the Surprises
It was an ordinary Sunday evening at the Bing's house, the chocolate turtle cheesecake was nearly gone, and the owners of the house along with their friends sat around the dinning room table sharing the latest news in their life. At the moment though they seemed to have already said everything as they sat in silence, looking at one another wondering who would speak next.
Ross looked down at his watch while his wife studied her nails; Joey grabbed a magazine off a near by chair, Phoebe twirled her hair around her finger, as Mike stared at a painting of a beach scenery that was in front of him, while Chandler tried his best to create a tower of apples from the bowl of fruit that remained on the table.
Finally Monica couldn't stand it any more, "Oh come on, someone's gotta have some news!"
"Oo!" Joey exclaimed looking up from the issue 'In Touch', "New Kids on the Block are reuniting."
The six exchanged looks.
"Um Joey, how old is that magazine?" asked Rachel.
Joey looked at the cover of the magazine, "Uh…September."
"Of last year." Ross stated almost too quickly.
Monica rolled her eyes, "News about us, not some boy band from the nineties."
"Eighties actually." Her husband said aloud earning him six awkward stares.
"Oh come on Mon, we've been here for almost five hours," Phoebe began, "we've already shared all of our news!"
"No!" Monica protested, "We…I…what about…Oh! You know our neighbors Christine and Maxwell Harris?"
Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Mike and Joey, even though he was practically living with the Bing's, exchanged confused looks.
Mike cleared his throat, "She'll kill us if we say 'no' won't she?"
They all knew the answer to that question and so they quickly came up with a few lies.
"Yeah!"
"Of course!"
"Oh yeah!"
"The Harris'!"
"Christie and Max!"
Chandler gave a smirk at his friends' obvious untruthful tone.s meanwhile his wife smiled with excitement as she went on with her 'news'.
"Well they're moving." She simply said.
"Awww!" they said together all too fake.
Monica still didn't notice and continued, "And you know what that means." The other seven looked at each other not even Chandler was sure what his wife was getting at, "Next Wednesday, you guys are coming over…" everyone then began to say things that showed they were interested in doing so until Monica finally finished her thought, "so we can fix our house to look the best! That way the new neighbors will see our beautiful house and wanted to live here but will have to settle for living next door!"
Silence took over the room.
"Well we better get going; we've got to get up early tomorrow." Ross said getting on to his feet and Rachel quickly did the same.
"Yeah and uh... I think I see my phone ringing." said Phoebe not all convincing.
"We've got a doctors appointment in the morning." Mike told them trying to get the others to forget his wife's lame excuse as he helped Phoebe out of her seat while she placed her hand on her growing baby bump.
The adults excluding Joey who stayed behind in the kitchen made their way to the play room. There they found the twins and Emma peacefully asleep surrounded by toys. The three couples smiled, it truly was a Kodak moment until a masculine voice called from behind.
"Hey anybody gonna want the last piece of cheesecake?"
"Shh!" the women told Joey as he walked over with a fork in one hand and the cake in the other.
Luckily he did not disturb the kids; while Ross moved Emma into his arms Chandler looked at the already half eaten last piece of cake and then at Joey.
"Did you already eat a piece of that?"
"Yeah."
"Then why did you ask if anyone else wanted it?" Chandler asked confused.
Joey shrugged, "I wanted to be polite."
Chandler rolled his eyes before he and Joey followed the others for the front door.
"So why are the Harris's moving?" Phoebe asked trying to make conversation
"I'm not sure." Monica said with a shrug as she and her husband walked their friends to their cars
"You know," Chandler began, "Maxwell said something about one of the neighbors always having parties and that there were always a bunch of cars out around their house."
"Oh." They all seemed to say not noticing that there were five cars in the Bing driveway. Ross and Rachel's, Phoebes cab, Joey car that seemed to never move from its place. The Porsche and a SUV Chandler bought when the twins were born.
"It must be that elderly couple across the street." Joey said aloud; and the others nodded.
