A/N:I do not own any of the Friends characters. I only own the ones that may seem unfamiliar to you, for they are my own characters.
I AM REALLY SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED FOR A WHILE. I'LL TRY AND FINISH THE STORY BY THE END OF THIS WEEK.

It was Tuesday afternoon and Monica was so eager to tell Chandler, finally, that it was her who was his Internet Pal. But she still wanted it to be a surprise. Monica had received another email from him, saying this:

I am really looking forward to meeting you. Yes, I do know where Central Perk is. I go there quite a bit. I'll be sure to find you there. Maybe this'll turn out into something great. Bye

Monica was relieved that she knew for sure that Chandler felt the same way about her as she did about him.

"Hey Mon, what's up?" Chandler entered the apartment. Monica quickly closed her laptop screen, trying her best to be inconspicuous. Chandler unfortunately noticed. He did not say anything.

"Oh nothing." Monica replied. "Just doing some stuff on the 'net. What are you up to?"

Chandler sensed the nervousness in Monica's voice as she answered his questions. He asked, "Monica, are you OK? You seem a little uneasy."

"Uh…" Oh no! She screamed inside her head, he knows something is going on. I don't want him to know it's me! I want it to be a surprise! "Nothing is going on, I'm fine really. I actually have to head off to work. I'll see you later." With that, Monica picked up her jacket from the coat rack and exited her apartment.

Chandler was left alone inside his friend's apartment. He couldn't help but noticing the laptop on the coffee table in the living room. Why did Monica close it so quickly when he entered the apartment? Is there sometime inside about him? Chandler couldn't help my resist the temptation; he opened the laptop. Luckily, it was still turned on so he didn't have to go searching through anything. He could've just said it was a big mistake and it opened magically by itself.

Chandler smiled at his own pathetic excuse. He looked at the screen and it showed an email opened. It was from someone anonymous, using a fake name on the Internet. He looked at who the email was from. It said NonWorkAlcoholic. That was his own screen name! Monica is his Internet buddy!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Monica was at work for the rest of the day. She had to think about what to do with Chandler the next day. Should she go and make a big thing about it. Maybe bring some champagne? No, that was a bad idea. They were just going to Central Perk: a coffeehouse. There was no need to make it drastic or anything. During her thinking, Phoebe burst into the kitchen with Joey at her heels.

"Monica! He knows!" Phoebe yelled. Other cooks in the kitchen looked at the person who was yelling.

"Continue working people. Nothing to see here." Monica reassured, while dragging Joey and Phoebe aside. "Who knows?"

"Chandler knows you are the mysterious Internet person!" Joey replied.

"Wait, how do you know about this thing?" Monica asked Joey.

"You think you're the only one who talks to their friends? Chandler told me about the whole thing. I think it's great he met someone but I never knew it would be you. I mean-" Monica looked angrily at Joey for that comment. "I never knew you would do something like that on the Internet. I happy for you guys but he knows!"

"How does he know?"

"All right, it went like this," Phoebe began….

Phoebe and Joey are sitting at Central Perk, drinking coffee when suddenly Chandler burst into the coffeehouse.

"Joey! I need to talk to you! It's about you-know-what!" Chandler slightly out of breath exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, you can tell me about it in front of Phoebe. We were just talking about it. We were just saying stuff about how it was weird that you were going on the Internet and stuff. Phoebe said Monica told her about how she met someone on the 'net too. I was like, well that's weird. I asked if she was meeting someone tomorrow, since you were and I thought there might be a connection. Phoebe said yeah, but I mean there is no chance in hell that you two would be meeting so I said something along the lines of 'Interesting, but no connection.' Then you came in here. Freaky, huh? Talking about you then you coming in? I mean-" Chandler stopped Joey. He didn't want to hear about what Phoebe and Joey were talking about before he came in.

"Monica is the person I've been talking to! We are meeting tomorrow. I noticed her closing her laptop really quickly when I came into the apartment, but then she had to go to work. I thought, well maybe there was something interesting in there that she was reading. So, I opened the laptop and there was the email I had just sent her about our date!"

"Monica already knew it was you. She wanted it to be a surprise so she didn't tell you she knew who you were." Phoebe calmly said.

"That would explain the uneasiness," muttered Chandler. "I better go. I need to think about this." Chandler left Central Perk. Phoebe and Joey quickly jumped out of their seats to look for Monica. They needed to tell her about it.

"And that's what happened." Phoebe concluded. "Chandler probably didn't want you to know that he knew who you were. I'm not sure if you wanted him to know that you knew who he was. I told him anyway. I just hope you guess can still go out tomorrow. How about if you say that we never told you or something? That would get us in less trouble with Chandler." Monica didn't say anything. The man that she might love knew she loved him. She needed to see him now.

"You guys, I'm going to see him now. I think I love him and he feels the same way, I know it. I need to tell him." Monica left her kitchen.
