Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep

Chandler looked over at the alarm clock and sighed. 7:38. the clock was getting a minute faster every day, he thought. He would have to have that fixed. He leaned over to kiss Monica who opened her eyes and kissed back. He sighed again as he got up to have a shower, gave Monica another kiss and walked out in to the living room.

'Hey Chandler; Phoebe greeted as she stepped out of the spare room.

'Hey' he said back and went to shower. After he got dressed in the bathroom he came back out in to the livingroom where the rest of the gang were already having breakfast. 'You're all early for a Saturday.' He said frowning.

'Well we're going skiing today, remember?' said Monica.

'Yeah, but instead of it being just us girls we were thinking maybe that you guys wanted to come along.' Rachel added. Joey and Ross looked up.

'You mean we weren't invited in the first place?' exclaimed Joey. The girls started to look uncomfortable.

'Well we uh thought that you might, um, want to hang out here and do, uh. guy.stuff.' Stuttered Phoebe, somewhat nervously. The guys looked sceptical.

'Is that why the alarm was on this morning?' asked Chandler, it had crossed his mind. After all, it was a Saturday. Monica nodded.

'So, you guys going to come with us? Or just hang out here?' Rachel asked. Chandler, Joey and Ross all leapt up at once. Of course they wanted to go!

'Yeah!' They cried in unison.

'Ok then I'll go pack you things Chandler' Monica said and ran off to the bedroom. Chandler just stared after her. There were times that her obsessiveness was cute, other times it was kinda scary.



It was four hours later and they had reached Rachels' sisters skiing cabin. It was still quite early so they had loads of time left for skiing. Monica put a stop to these plans.

'First things first, we need to get food in. then we should pack things away, decide where we're going to sleep and just get organized.' The gang paused in their activities. They only had this weekend and wanted to get as much skiing in as possible. They had a busy time up ahead of them and needed some time to relax. After a while they had reached a compromise. They would ski until the sun started to go down and then the girls would go in to town to get the food and the guys would get the blankets, get the fire going and collect the firewood.



Up on the slopes Rachel and Phoebe were showing off their ski skills. Phoebe had finally gotten over her fear of the ski lift and ventured out in to the clean crisp white snow. Joey and Monica were getting ready to go up next. Ross and Chandler were happy enough sitting at the slope side café, just yards away from the ski lift. Ross had never been good at skiing and Chandler wasn't too keen to go on the bigger slopes just yet.

'See you in a minute baby.' Monica said, kissing Chandler on the nose. She hurried over to where Joey was waiting for her at the ski lift and they both got on. Chandler turned back to where Ross was explaining exactly why the Flintstones were not real. Suddenly a scream rang out in the snow- covered hills. Chandler and Ross looked round to where it was coming from. The ski lift. The chair that Monica and Joey were on had started to creak and groan, milliseconds later the pole connecting the chair to the lift had started to snap. The chair was tilted to the side. Chandler and Ross stared up in shock as the pole suddenly snapped and the chair, Monica and Joey were sent plummeting down the 30ft drop.

Dead. The word rang around Chandlers' head. He knew there had been little chance that his wife's battered body would have survived after being carried off in the air ambulance but he hadn't prepared himself to face it. Joey had been worse, and died instantly in the fall.

Chandler was numb. Blackness swam back and forth in front of his eyes as he realised what he had lost. Rachel, Phoebe and Ross were in the relatives' room with him. Rachel and Phoebe were hugging each other and crying their hearts out over losing two of their best friends. Ross, like him, seemed too shocked to be able to cry. Maybe it hadn't quite sunk in. in either case he was there in the corner slightly swaying back and forth.

He couldn't just sit there, he needed to walk places, do something to try and get himself out of this. this. nothingness. Feeling nothing, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.

'Has anyone called their parents?' he croaked. His voice was horse and dry. Ross looked up and nodded briefly, saying that he had told his and Monicas' parents. Chandler stood up. He had to tell Joeys'.



It had been hard, but good for him. Like finally admitting it. He had cries over the phone with one of Joeys' sisters. Ironically it had been Mary Angela, who thankfully hadn't hung up the phone as soon as she learned who it was. He felt the emotions pent up inside of him come out in huge waves, no longer feeling nothing but indescribable pain. Somehow this was better for him.

The doctors had offered him something to help him sleep. At first he had refused but as the huge waves of blackness washed over him again he finally accepted. He lay down in a spare hospital bed and slowly let the drug carry him in to a dreamless sleep.

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep

Chandler looked over at the alarm clock and sighed. 7:38. the clock was getting a minute faster every day, he thought. He would have to have that fixed. He leaned over to kiss Monica who opened her eyes and kissed back. Chandler suddenly shot up.

'Monica?' he asked. Monica frowned.

'Yeah, who were you expecting? She said smiling again. Oh that sweet precious smile, Chandler thought. He felt wired, that had definatly not been a dream. It was too real.

Everything felt too surreal. He pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming again. He wasn't and as if someone wanted to prove it more he knocked his foot on the door frame on the way out.

'Hey Chandler' Phoebe said as she came out of the spare room.

'Hey' Chandler replied. We went and sat down at the table trying to figure all of it out. As he was thinking the rest of the gang cam over and sat down as well. Monica made a start on breakfast. No mention was made of a ski trip. Chandler shook his head and decided not to beat himself up about it. It must have been a dream.

'So what are you guys doing this weekend?' Ross asked.

'Well we're going skiing today, remember?' said Monica.

'Yeah, but instead of it being just us girls we were thinking maybe that you guys wanted to come along.' Rachel added. Joey and Ross looked up.

'You mean we weren't invited in the first place?' exclaimed Joey. The girls started to look uncomfortable.

'Well we uh thought that you might, um, want to hang out here and do, uh. guy.stuff.' Stuttered Phoebe, somewhat nervously. The guys looked sceptical. Chandler looked terrified.
