Author's note: Hello perfect people!

First of all, I would like to let you know that I finally have vacation. No school, no boring teachers and not a single lesson. And, of course, a lot, and I mean a lot, of fun. Now you know that and I'm totally passing on my happiness to all of you, I'm updating (and you're like 'yeah, so? That's like the whole intention of this site…', but still :p)! I hope you'll all like it ^^.

Chapter 10: Old habits, New year II

Chandler is putting on some clothes. He decided it would be alright to go to the party and enjoy the last half an hour of this year. He's searching for a shirt as Phoebe walks into his room.

"Whoa-whoa! I'm dressing!" He said as he quickly turned around from his over-organized closet. Monica had cleaned his whole apartment when she came over last week and had noticed the mess. And, of course, his clothes had to be ordered too.

"So? It's not like you're naked, you're wearing some boxer shorts. Nice pattern by the way." Phoebe replies laughing as she sits down on his bed.

"But I could have been naked!" He shouts while quickly putting on some pants to hide his underwear with panther pattern. How did he even get those?

"Well, you weren't, so let's not whine about it. I came to get you to come to the party. Come on Chandler! It's New Year's eve, the party is great, the guests are sweet. Why wouldn't you come? We really..."

"I was already going, so don't worry." He interrupts her as he tries to close his belt.

"Oh, really? What changed your mind?" Phoebe asks while giving him the shirt that he had put down on his bed.

"Nothing." He answers while grabbing the pale blue shirt out of her hands.

"Really?"

"I just thought it'd be nice to be with my friends the last minutes of this year."

"Aw, that's such a nice thought of you! Monica will be so glad. She really missed you on the party you know."

"Yeah, I know. But I'll be there to enjoy the rest of the evening, so, are you ready to go?" He asks her as he walks towards his bedroom door.

Phoebe opens the door of her apartment and she and Chandler walk into the living room. As soon as they get in, Ross walks up to them with the weirdest smile on his face and a huge glass of wine in his hand.

"He-e-e-y man, decided to jo-i-in the party anyways?" He asks while taking a big sip from his already half empty glass.

"Yeah, I thought it'd be nice to be with my friends to see the ball drop. Have I missed something special?"

"Neah, not really. Except that Ross here has been drinking a bit too much." Phoebe says while patting Ross supportively on the back.

"No-o I haven't, I've only had like…" Ross states as he almost falls over "Who-o-a-a, what happened there?"

"Nothing Ross, you were right, you're so sober, I'm sorry I doubted that. Come on, I'll lay you down on the couch." Phoebe retorted as she puts an arm around her drunken friend.

"Oh Chandler, wait-wait, you've got to taste this first. It's holy man! HOLY!" Ross exclaims, looking even more wasted than he did 10 seconds ago.

"What is it?"

"I don't know, but something with ch... chocolate? No, chips? Neah. Oh-oh-oh, chihuaha! No wait, that isn't it either. CHEESE, YEAH THAT'S IT, CHEESE! Monica said it was great, just try it man, try it!" Ross pleads as he gives Chandler a hand full of snacks and walks away with Phoebe.

"And I was pretty right about that." Monica acknowledges, coming back from the bathroom.

"You chose my opinion too?" Chandler asked as he turns around to Monica, who's standing right behind him.

"Yeah, I thought it'd be for the best. And you were right, the guests do prefer them. They aren't even looking at my choice."

"I don't wanna stir anything up or something, but aren't you mad at me?"

"Mad about what? Chandler, sweetie, I was the one who ignored you, even though you were only trying to help me. And I'm so-so sorry about that, I know I have my flaws, but I really-really wanted your help. I just was too stupid to appreciate that you wanted to give me it. If anyone could have a reason to be mad, it should be you."

"But I'll always help you Mon, you're my best friend for god's sake. And I wasn't mad, I can't be mad at you for being who you are, I can't be mad at you for anything." He says as he grabs her hands.

"Really? I mean, I can be pretty annoying."

"Yeah, but that's what makes me like you so much. We can be annoying together." He giggles and squishes her hand.

"Come on everyone, the countdown has begun!" Phoebe shouts through the room.

"WHOOAAHOOO!" A wasted Ross exclaims while raising his glass enthusiastically in the air.

"Begun Ross, B-E-G-U-N, not ended." Phoebe replies while patting him on the back.

"That'd be great Chandler. So do you want to watch the ball drop with me?" Monica asks her still smiling friend.

"Yeah, I do, and also, I really want to talk to you about all these people." He says, pointing to several people in the living room.

"I know right?!"

"Yeah, and Mon."

"Yeah."

"Did you really miss me tonight?"

"Yes, things get quite boring without you."

"Come on guys, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Phoebe and the rest of the people in the apartment exclaim in unison and, as everybody around them starts giving New Year wishes, Monica hugs Chandler.

"And things are boring without you too. I really hope you'll have a good year Mon."

"I hope that for you too Chandler."
