~Part 2~

Thanx for all the reviews, I luv you all!!! So, here's the next part. Characters still aren't mine, blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, as for a note on my last disclaimer, I've been told that someone did in fact buy Matthew Perry from his mom in 1984, and considering the fact that I wasn't alive then, that wasn't me. So I don't own him either, and, um…they said to say something else but I forgot *rolls eyes* ….newayz (that review left me laughing my ass off, btw) here we go. This is, um, a few days after the last one I guess.

Monica walked into her apartment almost in tears. "Asshole," she swore under her breath, slamming the door. She was pretty sure that that had been the worst date she had ever been on. Holding back tears, she went into her bedroom to change.

Monica walked back out a few minutes later wearing pajama pants and a tank top, heading to the bathroom. She stopped when she saw Chandler asleep on the couch. Monica sat on the coffee table facing him, just watching him sleep.

Chandler opened his eyes and gasped, "Jesus, Monica, why do you do that!?!"

"Sorry," she guiltily forced a smile.

"Bad date?" he sat up and Monica just nodded, moving to the couch next to him. "What happened?" Monica just shook her head, not wanting to talk about it. "Well, if you change your mind, I'm not going anywhere. Joey brought a date home and they're, well, enjoying each other's company," he added with a grin.

~*~

Monica woke up, blinking a few times before realizing that she had fallen asleep on the couch and that it was Chandler whose arms she was in. She shifted, feeling guilty for falling asleep on top of him since she knew he liked his sleeping space. She thought about moving, but couldn't convince herself to. 'Just five more minutes…' she closed her eyes.

~*~

Rachel walked out of her room the next morning, wondering why Monica hadn't gotten up yet, she was always the first one up. Rachel stopped when she saw Monica and Chandler asleep on the couch. Monica was laying half on him and his arms were around her.

"Morning!" Phoebe said cheerfully walking in.

"Hey, c'mere, Phoebs," Rachel motioned to her.

"They're cute," Phoebe smiled.

"Yeah, but look at them! I mean, you don't think they've gotten, like, too close lately? Did you see them dancing on her birthday? Just look!"

Phoebe burst out laughing, "Monica," she said between laughs, "and, and, Chandler?" she continued laughing.

"Yeah, you're right," Rachel laughed too, "When pigs fly."

"Oh, but pigs do fly," Phoebe quickly sobered up and said very seriously. Rachel just looked at her, so she nodded her head.

Chandler woke up to the two girls standing over him, watching him. He gasped and sat up suddenly, knocking Monica to the floor.

"Oh my god, Mon, sorry," he leaned over. "Are you okay?"

"If you always wake up like that it's no wonder that you don't have a girlfriend," Monica rubbed the back of her head.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Chandler touched the back of her head where her hand had been, "I am so sorry."

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Monica said, standing up, "But what the hell? Why…?"

"Oh, it seems you're not the only one who likes to watch me sleep," he glanced toward Phoebe and Rachel, who both looked away, embarrassed, "Why is that, by the way?"

"You're cute when you sleep," Phoebe patted the top of his head.

"Know any hot women you'd like to tell that to?" Chandler asked, not completely joking. When no one said anything, Chandler stood up, "I'm gonna go, sorry, again, Mon," he touched her head again and gave her an 'I'm sorry' smile. "I'll be back later," he added before leaving.

"Didn't you have a date last night?" Phoebe asked after he left.

"Yeah, but the guy was the definition of the word 'asshole,' so…" Monica answered.

"Oh. So how'd you end up like that with Chandler?" Phoebe asked.

Monica shrugged, "Just fell asleep, I guess."

"Oh."

"Well, I'm gonna go take a shower," Monica broke the silence that had followed Phoebe's last comment.

~*~

Monica ducked out of the rain, into her building. She shook her umbrella before closing it. It had been raining for the past few days, for what seemed like forever. Monica went over to her mailbox and unlocked it, taking their mail out. 'Bill, bill, junk, Rachel's' she flipped through their mail, walking up the stairs, ' junk, letter from Rachel's mom, bill, wedding invitation,' she stopped and pulled the invitation out before opening the door to her apartment.

"Hey, Mon," she was greeted with various hello's since everyone else was there.

"Did you get the mail?" Rachel asked, coming over to her.

"Yeah, you got a letter from your mom," she handed it to her before opening the wedding invitation. "Wow, Ashland's getting married," she said out loud.

"Oh, yeah, mom told me about that when I talked to her last week," Ross said.

"Who's Ashland?" Rachel asked.

"Our cousin," Monica said, sitting down on the couch, frowning.

"What's wrong?" Ross noticed the look on her face.

"It says 'Monica Gellar plus one,'" she paused, "I don't have a 'plus one.'"

Joey nudged her and winked, "Hey, if you ever need anything…" he smiled.

"I'm not taking you to my cousin's wedding."

"OH!" Joey looked down at his watch, "Chandler, we gotta go."

"Where are you going?" Phoebe asked.

"Andrea finally agreed to go out with me," Joey grinned, "Well, if I brought a friend for her friend."

"You're letting Joey set you up?" Monica asked. "Have you learned nothing in the nine years you've known him?"

Chandler shrugged.

"C'mon, we gotta go, later," Joey said, getting up to leave.

"Good luck, Chandler," Rachel laughed and the others smiled at him too.

"Yeah, I love you all, too," Chandler followed Joey out the door.

~*~

"If it's Janice, I swear to God, I will kill you," Chandler threatened Joey. They were sitting down waiting for the girls to get there.

"Hey, there's Andrea," Joey stood up, "Andrea," he said and she smiled, walking over to them.

"Hey, Joey," she hugged him and he kissed her cheek.

"Andrea, this is Chandler, Chandler, Andrea," he introduced them.

"Hi," she shook her hand. "Kathy's checking our coats," she paused, "Oh, there she is."

Chandler turned around and then turned back to Joey, "Seriously, what are the chances of that?"

"Of what?" Joey asked, confused.

"Hey," Kathy said quietly, after seeing Chandler.

Chandler just looked at him, and then back to Kathy. "I'm sorry, I can't do this," he said, grabbing his coat and walking out.

"Chandler, wait," Kathy followed him out of the restaurant.

"Do they know each other?" Andrea asked, confused.

"Yeah, they used to date. Actually…never mind, long story, it's kind of complicated."

"Why? What happened?"

"Actually, I went out with her first. She cheated on me with him, and then cheated on him with someone else…"Joey trailed off, "Or that's it in a nutshell."

"Oh, so how long ago was that?"

"Like, three years ago."

"Wow, she must've really hurt him to still not want to be around her."

"Yeah, she hurt him bad. I don't think I've ever seen him worse than that," Joey paused, "Well, actually, I have. His last girlfriend was. Erica. They dated for pretty close to a year, and I think, well, I know that that's the longest relationship he's ever had."

"What happened?"

"Her ex came crying back to her and she chose him over Chandler and I don't know why I'm telling you all this," Joey laughed uncomfortably and smiled at her.

~*~

"Chandler, wait," Kathy followed him outside, where it was still pouring.

"What?" he finally turned around.

"I just…I wanted to talk to you."

"About what? It's been three years. Three years Kathy, what could you possibly have to day to me?"

"That three years ago I made a mistake."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I moved on a long time ago and could really care less right now."

"Then why won't you even talk to me?"

"Because you broke my heart!" he yelled over the pounding of the rain, "I loved you, and you threw that away! And you were so damn hard to get over that I couldn't do it again!" he yelled and Kathy looked down. "Is that what you wanted to hear? Cuz that's all I got."

"Sorry," Kathy mumbled as Chandler walked away. "And I couldn't get over you again either," she said, although he was halfway down the block.

Chandler continued to walk home, despite the rain. He wasn't sure why he'd blown up at Kathy, it'd been over three years, and like he'd told her, he'd moved on a long time ago, he'd had girlfriends since then. So he couldn't quite understand why he'd just yelled at her.

But, God, did it feel good to get that off his chest.

~*~

"Hey," Chandler said, walking into the girls' apartment.

"Hey," Monica looked up from the book she was reading, "You're back early."

"Yeah. Three guesses as to who he sat me up with," Chandler walked over to the couch and sat down.

"Janice?" he shook his head "Erica?" she noticed that he still flinched at that name, "Sorry, umm…a prostitute?"

Chandler laughed, "Kathy."

"Oh. So what happened?"

"I walked out," he stood up and went over to the refrigerator, "Want a beer?"

Monica nodded, so her grabbed her one too.

"How pathetic are we?" he sat back down on the couch and handed her one of the beers, "It's Saturday night and we're just sitting here."

"Yeah, but at least now I'm not pathetic alone, now you're here. Before I was just plane sad, at home all alone on Saturday night. And at least you had a date."

"A blind date. Who happened to be my ex-girlfriend. Score," he said sarcastically.

"Okay, so we tie, we're both pathetic," Monica smiled, "And I still don't know who to take to my cousin's wedding. If I go alone, my mom will attack me. But I don't wanna take the chance and just take some random guy just to make my mom happy."

Chandler shrugged, "See, that's why I haven't gotten married, cuz then I'd have to put you through the pain of trying to find a date."

"Haha, very funny," Monica said, and paused, "Hey, you can come with me."

"What?"

"Yeah, you can protect me from my mom, and I know you , so you can come. I mean, will you?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Thank you," she hugged him.

"Yep, no problem," he smiled at her when she pulled away.

"So," she held up her beer bottle, "here's to how pathetic we are!"

Chandler laughed and clinked his bottle to hers, "Oh yeah, to us."
