A/N: Sorry this is so late, I've been wanting to update and I only have six days of life left for this story. There will be Jatthew romance in this story, along with Latt and possible Dourteney. This is short and I hate it but it'll have to do. Not all of this is correct as I was born the year this is set in, and review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Friends, as much as I wish I did.
Chapter Two - The Awards Ceremony.
Matthew laughed at the joke Jennifer had just told, adjusting his tuxedo jacket. Just then, another interviewer approached the two, who were bantering between each other.
"No way, Jen! I don't care what you say, Weekend at Bernie's was way better than Weekend at Bernie's II." He exclaimed, exaggerating his gasp when he found out she preferred the sequel.
"Bullshit!" That had received a few strange looks from passers by, other celebrities that had either been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award or were just invited.
"Shut up, look, somebody's coming over to us." He said between laughs.
Him and Jennifer had grown close in the past year. Celebrating Christmas together, having sleepovers, even meeting each others families. They were the closest out of everybody in the newly formed group of six.
"So, you two. There have been rumors that you're dating, care to confirm them?" The interviewer questioned, raising his eyebrows in query at the two best friends.
"Oh, me and Matty? No, no, no. We're just friends. I mean, we've kissed a few times, mostly for drinking games but still...it would ruin our friendship."
Matthew smiled along with her, nodding his head at the right times and mumbling replies to Jennifer's statements. Truth be told, for the last few months Matthew had been having these kind of feelings for Jennifer and they were getting harder and harder to deny.

"No way, Lisa! I'm not planting that in Macaulay Culkin's bag, he'll kill me." Matt protested, shaking his head. "He's strong for a fifteen-year-old."
Lisa had dared him to plant a dead bird her foreign cousins had sent her in the mail in Macaulay's bag.
"Fine. Then, I'll do it." She muttered to herself, digging in her purse for the package. "Wish me luck, Matt."
"Good luck."
She casually walked towards Macaulay's table and hid behind a stranger, opening the seal on the envelope. She pulled the pigeon out and sighed, then tiptoed towards his bag. Quick as a flash, she had shoved it into the backpack and was running across the room.
"Oh, my God. High five!" He held his hand up in expectation but received no slap in return.
"Lise, come on."
"No. I'm gonna go find Matty P."
"That's not a thing, that nickname." He stated, taking a bite from his slice of cake.
"Its a thing, Matt. Your head was just so far up your ass you didn't notice it." She shot back, glaring at him.
"Are you on your period or something?" He asked.
"Never." She sarcastically replied, rolling her eyes at him.

David and Courteney were in a closed off room somewhere, searching for a shirt or something. David had spilled red wine all over Courteney's dress, her immaculate dress.
"I'm so sorry!" He gushed, dabbing all over with a cloth, which only made it worse.
They had both dashed to the nearest room, locking the door behind them. David, who was frantically searching for a shirt for her, decided there was nothing and gave up. Then, he unbuttoned his own shirt and threw it to her.
"I'll go ask somebody for something or...I don't know. Just wear that, okay?" He instructed as she pulled the white shirt over her head.
"Thanks, Schwimmer. For everything."

"And the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series goes to...Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer!" The host of that award announced, cheers coming from the crowd, people rising from their seats to congratulate the six big-smiled people.
After a hushed conversation, they all headed towards the stage, grinning at the audience.
"I cannot tell you how much winning this award means to us," Matthew started, taking the award in his hand and raising it in the air. "I mean, this is our first year together as a show and as friends, heh, see what I did there? Friends, like the show name. I made a pun without realising it-"
"Matty, get on with the speech." Courteney whispered, giggling at the speech.
"Right, sorry. So, um, this has been the best year and a bit of my life. And I can't speak for the others, but these are the greatest friends I could of ever wished for. Jen, Matt, Lise, Court and David, I love you guys. And I love each and every one of our amazing fans that have supported us throughout all the small bumps in the road. Thank you to everybody who voted for us and thank you to Marta Kauffman and David Crane for getting us where we are right now. If anybody wants to add anything on then feel free..." Laughter erupted from the crowd as he finished, everybody smiling at the six faces they had seen on their televisions so often this past while.
