Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have just been so busy with college and working and everything. You would think I had more time in the summer when I was off college but apparently not haha. Hope you Enjoy this Chapter.
Chapter 9.
October the 31st, It is halloween. Monica, Chandler and Samantha are getting ready for their little Halloween party that they have decided to have. Monica being the way she is has planned exactly everything out perfectly, She and Samantha have made all of the food for the party and Chandler bought all of the decorations that Monica wrote him the list for to get. Monica decided that they would do a theme and they all decided that a onesie theme would be really cool and different to do. Monica has gotten a leopard onesie, Chandler is in a crocodile onesie and Samantha is in a White onesie with Pink snowflakes on. Yes they all know it is Halloween but they wanted to have a different theme to scary all of the time, which is good as they like to be different. The party is in full swing and everyone is having a great time in their onesies. They are all chatting, eating the homemade foods, dancing and having a good time together. Phoebe who lives in the apartment opposite came over to Monica and thanked her for making sure there was some vegetarian foods at the party since she is a vegetarian. "Its alright, I knew you were vegetarian and obviously its the polite and easier thing to do to cater for all types of food needs since you never know what people like and their dietary needs are." Monica answers. Phoebe smiles "So your onesie is cute, Where did you get it?" Phoebe politely asks "There is this really cool shop that has clothes that are not too cheap but not really expensive either, it is called Primark!" Monica said knowing that they are on a budget and have to be careful with money especially since they have lots of bills to pay. "That is cool, I have heard of it there before but not been in there." Phoebe said "Where did you get your onesie from? It looks very unique!" Monica asked about the Black and white striped Zebra onesie "I didn't buy it, I made it instead." Phoebe said "Oh wow thats really cool, I bet it was interesting to make, fun too." Monica said back. Chandler came over with one of his work mates Joey "Mon this is Joey. We work together at the office." Chandler introduces them "That is really good, I am glad your making lots of friends babe. It is nice to meet you Joey." Monica said whilst shaking his hand.
After the party Monica and Chandler clean up on their own as Samantha was really tired from a long day at college then a party so went to bed, luckily it is a Friday so fortunately no college tomorrow and they all get to sleep in bed Saturday and Sunday mornings. "I just thought at least we don't have to get changed into our pjs since we are already in our onesies and it would just be a waste of washing if we took them off now. I mean since we are on a budget and stuff." Monica said "Honey we are not on a budget, we can spend as much on my money nescacearry." Chandler said whilst grabbing the last few paper plates and putting them into the trash bag. "Its your money Chandler, and I don't want you to spend it, it needs to be saved for the future for when we have a house and everything." Monica said as usual having everything planned out already. Look I am not having this arguement again Monica, It is my money but I want to spend it on us now. I am making good money at this job right now and everything is going really well with the band and writing the new songs." Chandler said "Whatever, I just don't want to be wasting any money on anything that we don't need or want okay. I am just trying to be practical here, sorry if thats such a bad thing for you." Monica said "I am just saying I am earning lots of money here and I have a lot of money in the bank. I want us to have a good time and life which is why I want to spend it. If you want to be boring and have a shitty time then fine I want to have a good time alright." Chandler said whilst Monica went into the bedroom and brought out a pillow and sheet for Chandler. He knows that he needs to be quiet now because he is already sleeping on the couch tonight. "I guess I am sleeping out here alone then." Chandler said sarcastically "Just shut up Chandler." Monica said and went into their bedorom and shut the door.
The next morning Samantha comes out of her room and sees Chandler asleep on the couch and knows that him and Monica have had an arguement, they have been having a lot of them lately and she hopes that it is just silly and they will forget about it. Usually the arguments get loud and really annoying, so Samantha decides to avoid them both and go out. Monica comes out of her room and sees Samantha making Pancakes, she goes straight into the bathroom and has a shower so she can avoid Chandler most probably. "Those Pancakes sound great babe." Chandler said assuming that Monica is cooking breakfast for them all. "I'm not Monica or your babe, but thanks. Do you want some with fruit or chocolate sauce?" Samantha asked putting three on a plate for him "I shall have Chocolate sauce, is there anything better than that in the morning." Chandler said whilst grabbing the plate and sitting up the table "What was the argument about this time? I don't mean to be rude asking cause it is none of my buisness." Samantha asked "Its fine. She is moaning saying she has no money again but I do. She is pretty much rubbing in my face that I have money and she doesn't want it to be spent on anything for like fun." Chandler said "It always is money, so why don't you just let her have it her way that way you don't have to sleep on the couch and no arguments." Samantha suggested "Well then she just gets what she wants all the time. She can't stand the fact that I have money and want to spend it." Chandler said. "No I just don't want you to waste it on crap when we could be saving for a future together." Monica said whilst coming into the room with a towel on her head and wearing a tshirt and pair of jeans. "I don't want to get into this now to be honest, it is the weekend I just want to relax on my couple of days off before work on Monday again." Chandler said going into the bathroom. "I think I am going to stay at dannys for a couple of nights just so you two can have some alone time, I know how hard it can be with someone else living with you and there all of the time." Samantha said "You really don't have to. We love having you here!" Monica said "I know, but we all need some space sometimes, besides I haven't been over his in few weeks he always comes over here and then complains cause it costs his petrol money in his car." Samantha said "Well if your sure. I mean you live here to so I don't want you to feel like you have to go away because we are having a little argument. Its not your fault." Monica said "Its fine honestly. I have the doctor on Monday so shall go there straight from college then come back here after. I need a weekend with danny its been a while since we have been on our own." Samantha said. "Alright. If you need anything just let me know." Monica said getting up and going into her room.
After the weekend has passed Chandler and Monica are still arguing a little bit but not too much and they can stand to be around each other without arguing. Monica is at college and Chandler is at work.
Chandler is working with his friend Joey who was at the party. "That party was great you guys had." Joey said to Chandler "Thanks, I wish the rest of the weekend was as good though." Chandler replied back, pushing some buttons on his computer screen. "Why? What happened after everyone left?" Joey asked "Monica and I had an argument over just stupid stuff, I don't even remember what it was even about to be honest. She won't let it go though." Chandler explained "So whatever it was she is clearly mad at you for, Why don't you just apologise and hopefully it will be fine then?" Joey asked "I tried to all weekend but she just ignored me and got madder." Chandler said "Maybe she just needs a little time for herself. You should come to mine tonight give her some space to herself. I bet that was awkward with you guys fighting and Samantha there." Joey said "Thanks, I will text Monica and let her know later. Samantha wasn't there she was at her boyfriends house luckily." Chandler explained grateful that Joey has offered to let him stay at his whilst things cool down at home. "I guess I need to get on with my work too, won't be helpful if I go fired." Joey said whilst looking at his computer and desk.
Monica is at home after college as she finished just after lunchtime today, She is on the phone to Rachel since they haven't talked properly in a while. "Yeah, he was just so rude to me. All I was trying to do was to save us some money but no he has to be able to control everything and not be helpful at all." Monica said "You just have to be straight with him and tell him what is what. I mean it is what I so with Ross." Rachel said "I don't want to act like his mother keep telling him what to do all of the time. I want us to be able to save for our future but apparently Chandler just wants to spend money on everything now." Monica explained. "Well its not like he doesn't have any money. I mean they get paid a lot for their cds and everything plus the tours that they do." Rachel said "I know, Things aren't even that cheap here though. Rent and bills are expensive and when we come back after I finished college I want us to be stale and have a good place to be." Monica said "Well why don't you take some time apart if things are too stressful at the moment?" Rachel asked "Because its not fair that I dragged him all the way out here, made him and Ross take time out of the band just so I could go to college here. Its just not fair, you can't win either way." Monica said "Its not your fault that Chandler wanted to go with you. You gave him a choice and he decided to go with you so you can be close together. Just think how much harder it would be if it was long distance between you two." Rachel said "I know, I could never imagine it. It would be so hard and complicated. I need to talk to Chandler and see what happens." Monica said before saying goodbye and hanging up the phone. Monica checked her cell and noticed she had a text from Chandler "Hey, I think we need a little space for a while so I am staying with Joey for a few days. We just need to let things cool off for a while. I will call you later on to talk." "I guess its just me tonight then." Monica said out loud to herself since Samantha decided to stay at her boyfriends again tonight as she has to be up early for a doctors appointment and it is closer to his house than their apartment.
A few hours later.
Monica is sitting in her pjs watching a movie before she goes to bed. "Hello!" Monica called out after she heard someone come in the front door. "Hi, Sorry I know you guys probably wanted your privacy but I needed to come home tonight." Samantha explained putting her bag down and sitting on the couch next to Monica "It is alright, Chandlers not here." Monica said "Oh, What happened?" Samantha asked "He decided to stay at his friend from works place for a few days to let things call off." Monica said after pausing her movie. "That sucks, I guess the rest of the weekend wasn't so good then." Samantha said "I mean it wasn't the best but we argued a little but I thought everything would be fine after a couple of days." Monica said. "Wow that sucks then." Samantha said back "How come your back so early, I thought you wasn't back until tomorrow." Monica said "Danny's parents were really annoying, kept asking all these stupid questions and getting really personal." Samantha explained "That sounds annoying then." Monica said "They are okay, just too personal. Oh well we get a girlie night in now." Samantha said just before Monicas phone rang. "I'm sorry it Chandler, I have to get it" Monica said going into her bedroom as Samantha went into hers too. "Hey, I think we need to talk about some stuff." Chandler said as soon as Monica answered the phone. "I think so too. I hate fighting with you, I just wanted us to be able to save and have a good future. I realise that I was wrong and you should be able to do what you want with your money. I am sorry." Monica said "I was just about to say I think you are right, we should be saving money I mean things are expensive and not likely to get any cheaper in the future. I went to the bank and put half of my money into a savings bond, it means that I won't be able to spend that money for a while and it will almost double in the time it is in there." Chandler said "I think you need to come home here and we can talk properly soon." Monica said "I am going to stay here tonight but maybe I will come home tomorrow, you just relax and have a good night." They both hung up the phone.
