"I wouldn't know, would I? They're not letting us in for the moment." He gave an irritated sigh. "To 'check her again'."
"That's crazy! They already said she's gonna - " he stopped when he noticed his friend grow pale. "Come on, let's go sit there, wait for some news." He pointed to a small set of tables right at the end of the corridor. Ross nodded weakly and both made their way there.
"How's everything?" he started, after a short silence.
Joey beamed. "Getting married in a few months. Date hasn't been set yet - I'll send the invite to you when it's done."
He grinned at him, happy for his friend. "Who wouldn've known? A woman who can finally keep Joey Tribbiani under control." Both laughed.
"I know...weird, isn't it?" Ross nodded in agreement. "And guess what? Chandler's getting married, too."
Ross' jaw dropped and he leaned in closer, his eyes widening. "Chandler!" Joey nodded. "My God!" He chuckled, shaking his head. "The world must be coming to the end."
"He's mad about her, you can tell. When they're together there's this...feeling, you can't help thinking it's going to last forever," he said, smiling at the thought. "Quite sappy, huh?"
"Yeah." Ross shrugged. There was a dim to his already dark eyes. "Wish I could see it."
Joey noted it and leant over to pat him gently on the back. "You miss him, don't you?"
He nodded silently.
"It's the same thing with him. He's been as happy as a lark, but when you're mentioned - " he stopped. "It's both of your faults. Fighting over the most trivial things." He shook his head and offered a short chuckle. "And I thought I was the idiot of our trio."
Ross smiled sarcastically at him. "Thanks, Joe." There was a pause until he continued. "We were pretty crazy back then, weren't we?"
He laughed at once, shaking his head in a fond manner. "I can't believe half the things we've done."
"Neither can I." They shared a laugh over the matter. "And I was wondering...we've grown-up so much now...you can hardly see what we were before unless you look at the old photographs stored away in mouldy old boxes at the back of our minds."
Joey nodded and sighed. "Ah, they were great. Only two years from then and we're already reminiscing."
"When ya grow older, Joe, that's how it is. That's just how it is."
