FRIENDS
Ariana
Monica came into her apartment and sat down on her couch putting her feet up on her coffee table. That was something she didn't usually do since she liked everything to be nice and clean, and she always got on Joey when he put his feet on the table. She had had a hard day at work and nothing went her way, so she didn't care.
When Rachel heard her come in, she came out of her room to greet her.
"Hey, Mon. How was your day?"
"Not too good."
"Oh, really? What happened?"
"Well...when I was putting together the little plates of food for the Kensington's dinner party, one of my fake nails came off."
"Oh, you lost your nail. You had just had them done the other day. Did you try to glue it back on?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I couldn't find it."
"Oh Mon, it's not that bad."
"Thanks, but that's not even half of it."
"Why? What else happened?"
"When I found it, it was in Mr. Kensington's throat, and he was choking on it."
Rachel, unsuccessfully trying to hold back her laughter, said, "I'm sorry. I don't mean to laugh. Is he okay?"
"Yes, thank God."
"Well then what's the big deal?"
"I got fired," Monica said trying to hold back tears.
"Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry," Rachel said still laughing a little bit.
"Then why are you laughing?"
"I'm sorry. I'll stop."
A few seconds later, Joey walked in and saw Monica with tears in her eyes and Rachel giggling.
"What's going on?"
"Monica got fired."
"Oh. I'm sorry Monica. Rachel, why are you laughing?"
"I'm not."
"Yeah you are."
"Ask Monica why she got fired."
After Monica explained it to him he couldn't help, but laugh either. Rachel and him were both cracking up while Monica was sitting on the couch crying. When she started bawling, they both stopped laughing and apologized when they saw how upset she really was.
"Well maybe you can call and ask for your job back." Joey said sympathetically.
"Maybe, but I don't think they will hire me back, and unlike you two, my boss didn't see any humor in it, and neither did Mr. Kensington."
"Well maybe you can find a better job. Ooh Ooh!!! Or you could start your own business like you said you've been wanting to" Rachel said with excitement. "You have enough money now and you've been talking about it for a long time."
"Yeah. I could, couldn't I" Monica said perking up.
"Yeah."
"Maybe I will."
"Yeah, maybe you could open a nail salon," said Joey with a sly smile on his face.
"Joey!" Monica said as she punched him the arm.
"Owww! What?"
