This fic begins with monca moving into apartment 20. At the time she's 21 and Chandler and Ross are both 23. I don't know for how long I will keep this going. All of the main 6 will later be introduced. Rn I don't know how much of the original story I'm gonna change but my guess is that a lot will be familiar but a lot will have to be changed for this all to make sense :). This fic will mainly be about mondler and their relationship. Also I was rewatch friends and in this "universe" Amanda never existed.

Disclaimer: all characters belong to wbs. I might include characters from other stories (you know for fun) but that does not mean that that share universe just that I felt like it.

Summary: Monica and Chandler meet for the first time at age 21/23. Monica is just moving in and Chandler hits on the beautiful young woman. They decide to go on a date. Will things work out?

Name: complicated circumstances

Chapter one: The one when Monica finally moves

Ross could tell how happy his sister was about moving out of their parents house just by looking at her. Their grandmother had moved to Florida leaving her New York apartment and when Monica heard about this she didn't wait a second to ask her grandmother is she could move there. Monica has been on a search for an apartment for almost a year now but she never found an apartment she liked that she could afford. When her grandmother agreed to her proposal Monica began packing immediately.

"Thanks for helping me move" Monica said smiling at her brother. "It's not a problem, it's what brothers are for right." Ross was at a really happy place in his life and it showed. Last year he had graduated from college, he had a girlfriend that he loved and that loved him that he was soon going to ask her to marry him. He had a steady job with a good pay and he was close friends with his sister.

Ross picked up a box named books but he couldn't hold it for longer than 3 seconds before he dropped it. "ROSS! Those are my books. Stop dropping them!" "I'm sorry but this box is just really heavy." "Oh what are you? Weak?" she said as she picked up the box and walked into the building.

"Oh, god I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you like that" Monica said. "Oh no problem. So are you moving in." Chandler said as he looked Monica in the eyes. "UuuH, yeah apartment 20." "No kidding that's across the hall from my apartment. What's your name?" "Hi uh I'm Monica, Monica Geller." Monica said with a smile on her face. "Well I'm Chandler, Chandler Bing" "YOU" Monica said pointing at him. "Me?" Chandler asked confused. "That's why I recognise you" "I'm sorry do i know you. Wait Geller? You're Ross's little sister!" he said also realising why he knew the beautiful stranger.

"Hey Mon who's your friend?" Ross said as he came up the stair and saw her talking to someone. "Ross? Chandler asked. "Ross oh my god it's you! It's been such a long time I can't believe it" Chandler said walking over to Ross with quick steps. "Chandler? It must've been like a year" Ross said happy to see his old best friend. "Wow I haven't seen you since the graduation!" Chandler said pulling Ross into a hug. "You remember my sister Monica" Ross said pointing his hand at her. "Yeah a bit. I haven't seen you since thanksgiving 1988 when you "accidentally" cut of my toe" Chandler said making little bunny ears with his fingers when he said accidently. "You're not still mad about that are you? Because if you are then I'm really sorry"

"Ofc I'm not still mad about that. It's not like you did it on purpose." he smiled at her. He couldn't believe his luck. He had been crushing on her since the first time they met. She had been so kind to him, she made him mac&cheese because he didn't like thanksgiving and really cared for him. Then ofc he called her fat but he didn't actually mean that, she was beautiful in his eyes he just knew he couldn't let Ross think that since she's his little sister, if he would've told the truth he knew Ross would've killed him so he just told him a harmless lie.

Monica looked inte Chandler's beautiful blue eyes and she too started to smile. She couldn't believe her luck. She had been crushing on Chandler since the first time she laid her eyes on him. He was tall, cute, kind and funny sure he called her fat but she was totally over that now. She had gotten her revenge and now she was excited to live across the hall from him. She didn't know how she knew but she knew that this was the start of a great adventure.
