A/N: So this is my vision of a continuing of Friends. I know it's not original in any way shape or form but I hope you like it and of course I don't own Friends, just to make that clear! :D
This has happened -
Joey moved to Hollywood, still working on Days of Our Lives among other big movie rolls. He is still living the single life, being the "lone wolf" that he is.
Phoebe and Mike bought Monica's and Chandler's old apartment but they are looking for a house because Phoebe is pregnant again, and this time it's her own baby and not her brother's, or her sister's for that matter.
Rachel and Ross has broken up.. Again! Rachel called back for the job in Paris and got it while Ross still lives in his old apartment, taking care of Emma at the moment.
Monica and Chandler are still a happy couple, they still live in their perfect house and the twins are about to turn one year old.
Rachel sat down in her beautiful, white designer couch in her lovely apartment in Paris and began to flip through a magazine as her phone went off. It was Ross and she threw the magazine at the other side of the couch and quicly picked it up.
"What? Has something happened? Is something wrong with Emma? Is she alright?" she asked, as hysterical as only Rachel can manage to get.
"No, Emma is sleeping, everything is fine!" Ross said calmly at the other end of the phone.
"Then why are you calling me?" Rachel snapped. "You never call unless there is something about Emma," she continued a bit calmer.
"I just called to say that you're invited to the twins first birthday on Saturday, do you think you can fly over here til' then? Monica said that she wanted everyone to be there. She is going to invite Joey and Phoebe and Mike as well."
"Oh, but I haven't seen them in almost a year. Don't you think it's going to be weird?"
"Come on Rachel, it's Monica and Chandler - of course it's going to be weird. But it's also going to be quite fun I think. Don't you miss them at all?" Ross asked, slightly judging.
"You're right, I do miss them, and it is going to be fun. Tell Monica, I'll be there."
"Great! I'll tell her." -click-
Rachel wasn't sure she was completely ready for this. She leaned her head in her hand and thought of them all. She did miss them actually, a lot when she thought of it.
Phoebe and Mike was going to the movies the same night.
"How come these lines are always so slow, I mean how long can it take to; get some candy, pay and move along?" Mike asked Phoebe, frustrated. When it finally got their turn Phoebe looked, bright eyed at everything.
"I'd like Milkduds, no - I'll have Gummy Bears, and popcorn. Maybe I'll have peanutbutter cups, no - that'll get me so thirsty and then I'll have to run back and forth to the bathroom and I'll miss the entire movie," she gestured with her hands how she was going back and forth in a slightly fierce and speedy windshield wiper motion, almost hitting Mike in the process and he had to dodge her hands. "So I'll have a Hershey's bar instead. I'm pregnant," Phoebe now gestures with her hands on her big belly as to explain why she's got the munchies, then she kept rambling on. Mike just stood beside her quietly and sighs.
"Oh, speaking of that, I'll have to buy something to drink. I think I'm craving a Sprite, but it sure was a long time ago since I had a classic Coke. I don't think I can have Coke, I have to call your mom and check, I lost the list she gave me of things not to eat while pregnant. Well it wasn't so much of a list more fifteen long pages with thorough input."
"So this is how it can take so long, thorough input" Mike mutterd, answering his own question from earlier.
Suddenly Phoebe's phone began to ring, she held up a finger towards the pimple covered, teenage boy who stood behind the counter who looked just as frustrated as Mike.
"Let me just get this," she excused herself and picked up her phone.
"Oh come on!" Mike whined.
"Hello," Phoebe answered completely ignoring Mike.
"Hey Pheebs, it's Monica. I was wondering if you and Mike would like to come by the twins birthday on Saturday? Ross and Rachel are coming and I'm going to invite Joey as well."
"Oh yay, that sounds like so much fun! I'd love to do that, we'll be there."
"Be where?" Mike asked confused as he only heard her part of the conversation and he only assumed that he was the one she referred to when she said 'we'.
"Yes! Great, I can't wait 'til then! See you Saturday!" Monica squealed, excited and then hung up.
"That was Monica, they have invited us to the twins one year birthday."
"Wow, we haven't seen Chandler and Monica in almost a year."
"I know, she has invited Ross and Rachel and Joey as well, so we are all going to be there. She, hadn't called Joey yet, but I'm sure he'll come too." Phoebe said, hopeful.
Joey sat out on his roof terrace in Hollywood, sunbathing as he heard his phone ring. He looked at the display wide eyed as he saw that it was Chandler calling. He cleared his throat and shook his head before he picked up, almost nervous since it had been so long.
"Hey man, it's Chandler. It's been a while, huh? I-I was wondering if hrm, you'd like to uhm, come to the twins birthday party on Saturday? Monica talked to Ross and Rachel and Pheebs and Mike and they're all coming, all four of them," Joey noticed that Chandler sounded nervous as well. Joey bit his bottom lip, then he sighed and all the nervousness was gone and replaced with anger.
"A while? Is that what you call it when you haven't seen your best friend in almost a year? A while? Maybe it's best we don't see each other for another while perhaps, it hasn't seemed like you've cared anyway." Joey seemed mad but deep down he was sad and felt neglected and Chandler knew that. Even though they hadn't seen each other in a while Chandler would probably always be the person who knew Joey the best.
"Come on, man. Don't be like that. You know I've wanted to call or hangout but being a self providing author and also taking care of two new borns is a handful I'll tell ya. But now that they can start going to a daycare I will have loads of time to hang out. You're actually the first friend I've talked to in almost a year and I'm not even joking."
"You called me first?" Joey said, flattered.
"Who else?"
"Aww, of course you can count me in on Saturday, Chandler!" Joey said and then they hung up.
It was settled, everyone was going to the twins birthday party on Saturday. How exciting!
