*i dont own any of these characters. or any of the song lyrics that may be included in this story*
This takes place b4 TOW Everyone Finds Out, but after the 1 when Mon puts the turkey on her head to cheer up chandler and he says "youre so great, i love you" but still no1 knows about them...except Joey. and i cant remember if Rachel knows by now or not,i dont feel like digging for my tapes with the episodes on them so we'll jsut pretend she doesn't know. so Monica and Chandler are still kinda messin around, but are beginning to have strong feelings for eachother. and i kno all the Monica/Chandler fans will hate me for this..but i mean u cant have a happy story allllll the time!
Monica laid in her bed, in awe of the events that took place that day. Just when she thought things could actually work out with Chandler, she than found out she couldnt have been more wrong. Around 8:00 pm, Monica was sitting in her apartment watching T.V. when Chandler came in. He came and sat down and told her that Janice wanted to have another chance with him, and that he wanted to give it a shot with her. Monica didnt know if she was supposed to be hurt, or not care. So, she just nodded and said good luck. He smiled and hugged her, relieved that she had "taken it so well". but she didnt. she was crying a river inside, and she didnt know why, but she didnt want to feel that emotion. She and chandler were just fooling around. it wasnt anything serious..but she wanted it to be serious. She rolled over, letting a tear escape her eye, and began to fall asleep.
ScEnE:central perk. everybody..monica and chandler clearly avoiding eachother
"Hey. Chandler, how did things go with you and janice?" Rachel asked leaning over the table. Chandler smiled. "It was ...wonderful. I forgot how much i missed her." Phoebe patted him on the back. "I'm so glad you're happy again!" Joey glanced over and Monica, who was just staring at her coffee. He knew she was hurt. 'They were so close' he though to himself. Monica stood up and glanced at everyone. "Im have to go, im pretty late already." Everyone said goodbye and she walked out. Chandler suddenly became more relaexed. he couldnt decide on anything. he knew he wanted to try it again with Janice, but maybe that was becuz he was scared of a new relationship with Monica. He felt....different. He missed sneaking around, and kissing her, and just little things like that. He decided to give it 3 days. By than he'd come to a conclusion.
Monica felt like she had been trapped in a depressing love song all day. the lyrics to the song "i cant make you love me" by Bonnie Raitt just kept playing in her head over and over. She couldnt decide if it was because she heard it while she was in the shower this morning, or because it just perfectly described her situation. She just couldnt see to think of anything except for Chandler. and she figured that it was ok to wonder what went wrong. They were so close to...whatever it was they could've had. If Janice hadn't come back, would she still be with him? Or would he have exentually drifted away? It didnt really matter, she decided. Whats done was done, and there was nothing she could do about his feelings. She cant make him love her, or make him feel things hes not capable of feeling..or is he? (AN: ok ok i know that would prolly never happen, but Chandler wouldnt leave Mon for Janice either so...whatever heh)
(for those of you who have never heard the song i just mention,.which i dont own, either. i think it plays in the movie "Beaches" but i could be wrong..i dont remember things too well sometimes haha)

Phoebe and Rachel sat in Joey's apartment, talking about the events of the day. "Guys..I have something to tell you, but you cant tell Ross." Joey said sitting down. Rachel and Phoebe nodded. "Monica and Chandler were...together. Thats why its been so awkward. He broke things off with her when he heard from Janice again. But i dont WANT Janice, i want Monica! so, we have to do something." Joey whined. "WHAT?!?" Phoebe said flying up. "But listen! they weren't just sleeping together. They really, really cared about eachother. Im pretty sure they were close to being in love-spooky dontcha think?" Rachel nodded. letting it all sink it. "Well...we cant let this just..happen. we have to do something." Phoeb nodded "But what can we do?" Than, the door opened and Ross stepped in. "Do about what?" They all froze and stared at him, trying to find an answer to his question.
