Chapter 7
AN: Sorry Phoebe and anyone else but it's not Monica, i couldn't get them together yet. My reason is that i think Chandler needs to be with someone else first and get a bit serious with them as i felt that Chandler couldn't have gotten together with Monica in the series without Kathy or Janice as he had to try and get over his fears before otherwise he would have messed up big time with Monica. Don't worry though they will be happening in either the next few Chapters. I don't really like Ross and Rachel as they almost never get along when their together but in this they will go smoothly
Disclaimer: I don't own Friends but i have been watching season 3 for the past few days.
"Janie, what are you doing?" Chandler asked as he pushed her away from him.
"I want you back Chandler, I'm sorry that I broke up with you," Janie said, "But I realise that I can't be without you"
"You broke my heart Janie and you never even gave me a reason for leaving me" Chandler said
"I'm sorry, I just needed a break and it made me realise how much I love you and that I was a fool to leave you"
"But couldn't you have said you just needed a break, at least then I would have known what happened" Chandler said
"I can't tell you how sorry I am but I promise I won't do it again"
"You promise" Chandler said
"Yes" Janie said
"Ok"
"Ok?" Janie asked
"Yeah, I can take you back but we have to start from the begin and not from where we left it" Chandler said
"Yeah sure, I will give you my number as you look busy now" Janie said while looking in through the door seeing all the boxes and the guys stood there with shocked faces.
"Ok bye" Chandler said, taking the paper that she wrote her number on.
"Bye see you soon Chandler" Janie said as Chandler shut the door behind her.
"What are you doing?" Chris asked in a loud and kind of angry voice.
"Why did you take her back?" Mark asked, "Remember when she left you, you were super depressed"
"That why I took her back I miss her" Chandler said
"What about Monica?" Joey asked
"I don't know if I have feelings for her but I know I love Janie" Chandler said
"You always talk about Monica so it's oblivious you have feelings for her" Mark said
"No I have feelings for Janie, Monica is just a great friend," Chandler said, "Will you guys drop it, I'm going out with Janie now, nothing you can say will change it"
"But" Chris started saying before Mark stopped him.
"Ok, let's go get the rest of the boxes"
"Ok" Chris, Chandler and Joey said walking out of the door.
"Mon what's up sweetie?" Rachel asked as Monica ran back in with tears in her eyes.
"He is going out with someone called Janie" Monica said as Rachel and Phoebe went up to hug her.
"It's ok" They said
"I don't know why I'm acting like this, I wasn't even sure if I truly like him" Monica said
"Well at least you know you do," Phoebe said, "Even though now it's not going to happen"
"Mon, Mon what wrong?" Ross asked as he walked in carrying a large box.
"Nothing" She said, wiping her eyes.
"But you were crying" Ross said
"Something stabbed her in the eye" Phoebe said
"What did?" Ross asked
"Um the corner of the box she was carrying" Rachel said
"Ok, it's better to leave it alone and put some ice on it instead of rubbing it Mon" Ross said
"Yeah, ok but we don't have any ice" Monica said
"Use a wet cloth then" Ross said
"Ok" She said walking over to the sink, grabbing a cloth.
"I got only three more boxes left if you two can help" Ross said looking at Rachel and Phoebe.
"Ok" Phoebe said
"Is it light?" Rachel asked
"One of them is" Ross said
"Ok come on then" Rachel said as they walked out the door.
"We're all unpacked over there" Chandler said as he, Joey and Chris walked into Ross and Mark's apartment. Only Ross and Mark were there as the girls had gone to the coffee house, leaving those two to unpack.
"Really but you had less people than we did" Ross said
"We had less stuff "Chandler said
"Ok, we only got boxes in our bedrooms which we can sort out later so is there anything you guys want to do?" Ross asked
"Coffee house, it's near to us now" Joey said
"Ok" Ross said
"Remember its Phoebe's first day playing" Mark said coming from his bedroom.
"Oh yeah" Joey said
"Ready to go?" Ross asked Mark
"Yep" Mark said as the guys walked out the door, not locking it behind them.
"Which one of you two had the bigger room?" Chandler asked Ross and Mark.
"Ross did, he said he wanted to be closer to the big window" Mark said
"Which one of you two got the bigger room?" Ross asked Chandler and Joey.
"Mine is," Chandler said, "But only just, they are pretty much the same size"
"Ok"
They walked for a bit longer before they got to the coffee house. Rachel and Monica were sitting on the couch while Phoebe was preparing to go on stage.
"Hey guys" Rachel said as Monica turned round to look at them coming in.
"Hey" they said
They order their coffee and went to sit down. Chris and Joey grabbed the two chairs next to the table while Ross went and sat next to Rachel on the couch, giving her a quick kiss on the lips. Chandler sat on the over side of the couch next to Monica while Mark sat on the chair at the end but had to turn around to watch Phoebe who was just about to start.
"Everyone give a big welcome to Phoebe Buffay" The waitress said
"Good luck Pheebs" Chandler and Joey said, Phoebe smiled back at them.
"Hello everyone this is my first time playing here so hope you enjoy," Phoebe said, "This song is called Smelly Cat"
"Smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you
Smelly cat, smelly it's not your fault
They won't take you to the vet
You obviously not their favourite pet
You may not be a bed of roses
And you no friend of those with noses
Smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you
Smelly cat, smelly it's not your fault"
Everyone clapped as she finishes the song.
"Wow that was fun and I can see why you guys do this" Phoebe said
"Have you got another song Pheebs?" Mark asked
"Oh yeah"
She played a few more songs before she came off stage.
"That was fun"
"I guess you enjoyed it" Chandler said
"Yeah I did but I got another song I want to sing" Phoebe said
"So why did you play it?" Rachel asked
"As I want someone to sing it with me"
"Chandler will do it" Both Rachel and Monica said
"Thanks," Chandler said looking at Monica and Rachel, he turned to look at Phoebe, "What song is it?" He asked
"Endless love" Phoebe said
"It's not something I usually sing" Chandler said
"But you sung it before Chandler" Chris said
"You sung it a lot after your break up with Janie" Mark said
"Ok stop saying stuff you two," Chandler said, he turned to Phoebe, "So when do you want to play it?" He asked
"Now, I still have the stage for 10 minutes" Phoebe said
"Ok come on then" Chandler said getting up.
"Ok everyone I got my friend Chandler to sing the next song with me," Phoebe said, "We're singing Endless Love"
"You know they might think we are together cos of this song" Chandler said to Phoebe.
"So, just stop talking and get ready to sing" Phoebe said
"Ok but they might" Chandler said
"Does he talk this much be he normally sings?" Phoebe asked the gang
"Yeah" Monica and the guys said
"You should already know that as you are normally backstage" Chandler said
"Well I'm busy then so I don't notice you"
"I feel so hurt" Chandler said
"Chandler just be quiet and get ready to sing" Rachel said
"Ok" Chandler said
"Finally" Phoebe said (Watch The one with the giant poking device as thats the eipsode which they sing it in)
After they sang the song Chandler went back to the couch as Phoebe played a few more of her songs.
"That was ok" Chandler said, sitting down.
"That was really good Chandler, you and Phoebe should sing together more often" Monica said
"Probably not, she is difficult" Chandler said
"No you're the difficult one" Rachel said
"I am not, am I guys?" Chandler said
"Yeah you are" they said
"Oh well" Chandler said, noticing someone was gone, "Where is Joey?"
"He is talking with Gunther about getting a job here" Mark said
"That would be great, we need to find jobs and if he gets it we won't have to pay for our coffees" Chandler said
"We probably have more coffees that what Joey would get" Ross said
"Yeah your probably right" Chandler said as Joey came running up to them.
"I got the job, I start tomorrow" Joey said, excitedly
"Well done Joey" They all said
"Yeah, now we all don't have to pay for the coffees" Joey said
"We can still pay as our parents are still paying for us while we're in college" The girls said
"You're sure?" Joey asked
"Yeah, you can pay for us when we leave" Rachel said
"I shouldn't be working here that long," Joey said, "Would I?" He asked
"Don't know Joey," Ross said, "Depends on how long until we become successful"
"So soon" Joey said
"Maybe" Mark said
"Ok" Joey said
In 2 week Chandler, Ross and Mark all found jobs too. Chandler and Mark worked in a shop, stacking the shelf and on the tills, while Ross worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Chandler and Janie were going well, he was asking the girls for relationship advice as what the guys said got him in a lot of trouble with Janie.
They had just ended a concert, Monica was right as now they had lots more outside college. They still played at the college often, usually when they had nothing else to do. The gang expect Chris, he now only played at concerts in college never anywhere else, where stood backstage.
"Hi are you guys No Way?" a guy asked them
"Yeah we are" Mark said
"I'm Richard, I have a record company and we really want to make an album of you guys playing"
"Really, are you serious?" Ross asked
"Yeah, you guys are brilliant, here is the recording company's address and here is my number if you need anything," Richard said, "Can we meet at 2 tomorrow and go through your songs?" He asked
"Yeah" Mark said
"I got to go, see you at 2" Richard said walking off
"Can you believe it, we getting an album made" Mark said
"No, It's amazing" Chandler said
"I'm so happy for you guys," Phoebe said then whispered to Monica, "Don't you think Richard looks dreamy"
"Yeah, he looks great and seems really charming" Monica said
"You should talk to him, it might help you get over Chandler" Phoebe said
"You think so" Monica said
"Yeah, you need to get over for you're feeling for him, Janine and Chandler are going really well, true he had a few freak outs but their getting less often" Phoebe said
"He must really like her then" Monica said
"I'm sorry Mon but its looks like he really does" Phoebe said
"It's fine, just a shame I couldn't tell him how I felt as it could be us that are together"
"Don't think about the what ifs, it's never good to think of those" Phoebe said
"I know" Monica said
"Come on you two," Rachel said, "We're all going to a party, Chris is already there but over the phone he sounded a bit weird and Janie is already there too"
"Ok we're coming" Monica and Phoebe said, joining the others and they went to the cars.
"Hey Mon have you seen Janie anyway?" Chandler asked Monica
"No sorry, I haven't seen her or Chris, I thought they were here" Monica said
"Yeah me too" Chandler said
"Oh Chandler," Rachel said coming over with Ross behind her, "Someone said they saw Janie going round the back"
"Ok thanks Rach" Chandler said
He headed round the back on the building, only to be shocked by what he saw happening.
"What are you doing?" Chandler shouted, rooted to the spot where he was, not able to run away or look away from the sight in front of him.
AN: Can you guess what happen? Also Monica is not going to go out with Richard, i don't mind him but it seems a bit odd when they go out with their age difference.
