A/N: Hey, so sorry it took me so long to update. I volunteer over the summer, and it takes up most of my time. Anyways, I completely forgot to mention in the first chapter that this fic takes place in the middle of season 3, but some of the past events will be changed slightly to fit in with the story. Also, I'd like to apologize because this is some of this chapter is just a filler, but I tried to make sure it was enjoyable.

CHAPTER 2

Monica felt very uncomfortable with the fact that she had no idea what had happened the night before. It seemed Joey and Chandler were keeping something from her. She decided she would confront them after she freshened up.

"Monica! Hey, I just had the best night at Ross's," Rachel exclaimed as she ran through the door.

Monica zoned out while Rachel explained how romantic her brother had been. She had grown used to the idea of her best friend and her brother together, but she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable from time to time. Monica couldn't begin to imagine how Ross would react if he found out about her feelings for Chandler.

"Rach," Monica interrupted. "While I'd love to hear more about your relationship with my brother, I really have to talk to Chandler and Joey," Monica said before excusing herself and leaving the apartment.

"Hey Monica," Joey greeted her with a tall blonde by his side. Monica was curious as to how he had invited a girl over in the twenty minutes she'd been gone.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" Monica asked before glancing at the blonde. "In private." Joey told the woman he would meet her in his room in a few minutes and let Monica inside.

"What really happened last night?" she immediately questioned once the woman was out of visible range.

"What do you mean?" Joey asked nervously. He was terrible at keeping secrets, but he was positive Chandler would kill him if he told her what she'd confessed.

"You seemed really happy when I told you I couldn't remember last night," Monica explained. "Tell me what happened!"

"You, uh y-you," Joey began to stutter. "You made out with a girl." Joey widened his eyes, realizing what he'd just blurted out. Chandler was going to freak.

"I did what?"

"Yeah, um, I had a girl over, um, Ally, and you started talking to her and the next thing I know you two are swapping spit!" Joey hurriedly explained. Monica looked skeptical, but she seemed to have bought it for now.

"Oh my god," she said.

"Yeah, now I have a girl waiting in my room for me, so unless you want to join us…" Joey tried to drive her away so he wouldn't make any more mistakes.

Monica took the hint and left the apartment in confusion and disbelief.

"You told her what?" Chandler's reaction was very similar to Monica's once Joey admitted what he'd said. He hoped his friend wouldn't give him a lecture, because he still had a girl waiting for him, and Amy or Anya or whatever probably didn't like to be kept waiting.

"Why was that the first idea that you thought of?" Chandler did not seem amused by the situation whatsoever.

"I'm always thinking about that!" Joey unsuccessfully defended himself. "Besides, it was your decision to keep this a secret, so this is all on you."

Chandler seemed to contemplate Joey's reasoning before responding. "This isn't just because of how I'd feel. Monica would be heartbroken if she found out we knew. Think about how awful this would be for her."

Joey sighed and nodded his head in agreement before heading back to his room so he could finally have some alone time with Ally or Amanda.

Chandler had a mission to avoid Monica as best he could. Of course, he knew this would be nearly impossible because they have the same friends and live across the hall from one another, but he had to give it a go. He couldn't come up with a better way to handle the situation.

Suddenly, Ross barged into the room, interrupting Chandler's thoughts. "I think Rachel's cheating on me!" he exclaimed. Chandler attempted to listen to Ross's ranting about some guy named Mark, but he honestly couldn't care less at the moment.

Of course, Ross was oblivious. The five friends barely paid attention to what Ross had to say, so it probably seemed normal.

Chandler was desperate for a fix to the Monica-problem. It would be nearly impossible to go back to the way things were, but she didn't even have a clue things weren't how they were.

"What should I do? Do I confront her?" Ross wondered aloud to his friend. Chandler snapped out of his thoughts and stared at his friend for a minute.

"Sure," Chandler responded, indifferent to the situation. Ross and Rachel would make it work. Somehow they always ended up together.

"I just- I can't believe she'd do this to me!" Ross yelled. "Wish me luck." Chandler knew this couldn't go well, considering Ross was so worked up.

When Ross opened the door to leave, Monica was on the other side about to knock. Chandler contemplating locking himself in the bathroom or claiming he had to be at work, but he resisted.

"Hey, Chandler," Monica greeted him.

"Hey, so I heard that Joey told you what happened last night. Amanda probably didn't see that coming when she went home with Joey," Chandler joked lamely.

"Amanda? Joey told me her name was Ally."

"Yeah, her name's Amanda, but she, uh, goes by Ally," was the first thing that came to Chandler's mind as an excuse.

Monica furrowed her eyebrows, and opened her mouth to question it, but Chandler spoke up before she could.

"Well, I gotta go to work."

"But you don't work on Saturdays," Monica argued, but Chandler was already halfway out the door.
