A different version, and very coincidential. This is my first Friends Fanfic, and I accept all help, cos I need it! Please r&r truthfully (but not too truthfully lol.)
These are the things you need to know before reading this story. The rest you have to work out! Isn't this fun? Lol. It's not too hard to work it out-if you don't get it I'll explain in the next chapter OK? Right, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe are all friends, and they live near Monica's parents. Ross, Joey and Chandler are all friends, and Joey and Chandler live in their apartment that they live in normally, and Ross lives in the appartment that Monica lives in usually. OK? Chandler and Joey have never met Monica, Rachel or Phoebe...or so they think...
(Author's note: if I talk a little English, or how they wouldn't talk really, I apologise.)
It was kinda lonely for Ross in his appartment. Of course, he lived opposite his best friend Chandler, and Chandler's room-mate, that weird but thoughtful guy Joey. But he didn't have anyone, and his appartment seemed bigger than Chandler's. He was slightly upset when he found Chandler was getting a "roomie." He had wanted to move in with him, but Chandler had made excuses. There wasn't enough room, apparently.
Carol, his ex wife, often came round with Ben, more out of pity than anything else. He enjoyed her company, and they were good friends, but he still wasn't that comfortable around her.
Then, out of the blue, a young girl at work asked him out. He was amazed and thrilled. Now he wouldn't be the only one in the gang without a girlfriend, and he actually liked Sam, this girl. Chandler had a girlfriend, and Joey always had girls in his bedroom, cos he was...well, Joey!
Sam was 30, about the same age as Ross. Ross was pretty sure that "Sam" wasn't her real name, but he didn't want to push. He was sure he had heard someone call her "Keely" before.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hi girls," called a voice from the front door. A young man in his thirties walked out of Monica's room. He had short brown hair, and a really nice smile. He was Monica's boyfriend, and was really sarcastic, but kind. He was head over heels about Monica, as he had never had a girlfriend like her before. He was in a pretty serious relationship, and he had freaked out when he realised it, but had got used to the idea. (Author's note: If you see where this is going, I'm sorry! And if you don't like it, say so!)
"Hiya," said Rachel, walking in. It had been her calling. "Where's Monny?"
"In there," he said, pointing towards her room. "Thanks Sandy," she said, walking in.
"Sandy" shook his head, laughing. She'd never stopped talking long enough to know what his real name was, and had always presumed it was Sandy. He went back in the room, and gave Monica a kiss, then left.
"Hi everyone!" said Phoebe, waltzing in and waving at Monica's boyfriend.
"Hi Phoebs," said Monica. "Oh, guess what. My brother rang. You know, Ross."
"Oh yes," said Phoebe, not having a clue. "Umm...who is Ross?"
"My brother!" she said, exasperated. Rachel laughed.
"He's invited Monica, you and I to his house to meet his new girlfriend, and his mate's girlfriend, and his other mate and his girlfriend. What a long list," said Rachel. "It's tomorrow."
"Ooh, I can't go. I've been invited to a sort of reunion with my new boyfriend," said Phoebe. "Sorry and all that."
"Well, I had to turn my boyfriend down," said Rachel.
"You have a boyfriend?" asked Monica, laughing.
"Yep. He invited me out with his mates, but you'd already invited me to this," said Rachel, brushing her hair absent-mindedly with Monica's hairbrush.
The phone rang. Rachel went to get it. "Mon, it's for you," she said. "It's your lover!"
Monica laughed again, and picked up the phone in her bedroom. Phoebe went out to see Rachel, who was watching Jerry Springer.
"I don't believe that!" said Monica, coming in. "I've had to turn my boyfriend down too. He's got a "little party with his friends," and I was ever so apologetic," she said. "It's really weird, that."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"There," said Rachel. "Is that it?"
Monica peered outside the cab. "Yeah, that's his appartment there. Stop!" she said.
"I recognise this place," said Rachel. "Maybe Joe bought me here."
They walked up the steps inside the building. "I haven' been here for years," whispered Monica. "I can't believe I haven't seen Ross in this long. Let's knock!"
Rachel looked a little surprised, and Monica knocked on a green door. It opened, and a well-known voice said: "Come in! Oh my god!"
Rachel and Monica stared. Standing in the doorway was Phoebe.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Phoebe? What are you doing here?" asked Monica.
"I'm...err...wait," she said. "Hi. Welcome to the party. I'm Ross Gellar's girlfriend. Unfortunately...wait a minute! Ross Gellar? That's your name!"
"Well, not the Ross," Monica laughed shakily.
"Ross is your brother? Oh my god, this is so weird!"
But it just got weirder...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hi sis! Do you know Sam?" asked Ross, bounding up.
"Sam?" asked Monica.
"My name's Phoebe! Oh yeah, but I said it was Sam first, didn't I?"
"I-guess you do. Come and meet my friends Joey and Chandler. Unfortunately their girlfriends...Rachel? Mon? You OK?"
Rachel nearly fainted. Monica just stood there. Chandler was talking to Phoebe as he put out his hand towards Monica. Then he turned slightly.
"Hi, it's very nice to...OH MY GOD!"
Chandler jumped back about 8 feet and landed in a bowl of water. Soaked to the skin, he ran into the opposite appartment, wailing.
Joey was more calm. "Ross, that's my girlfriend, Rachel."
Ross stared. "This is so coincidential," he said. "Monica, what's wrong with you?"
"Chandler's my boyfriend!" she wailed before running after him. Rachel, Ross and Joey didn't try to stop her. She ran across the hallway, and could see the door was open. She walked in, to see him laying flat on his back on the couch.
"Hi sweetie," he said, beckoning for her to come over. She started laughing.
"What?"
"You know my friend Phoebe? Ross's girlfriend. You know my friend Rachel? Joey's girlfriend."
"I thought they looked familiar," he said.
"This is so coincidential. Three girls, three guys. All best friends. All date one of the opposite sex of the other group." She couldn't stop laughing. "This was so meant to be."
"I don't know," he said, cuddling up to her. "It sounds too...weird."
"No it doesn't!"
"So, this is your appartment?" she asked, looking round. He pulled her close to him, and kissed her.
"Yeah, wanna try out the bed?" he said.
"I think we oughta talk to the other four, as appealing as that sounds," she laughed, kissing him.
Phoebe, Ross, Rachel and Joey came through. "Look, Monica, you and Chandler can sleep in my spare room tonight, Rachel can stay with Joe, and Phoebe can stay with me tonight. We'll decide what to do tomorrow," said Ross, looking amazed, scared and tired in one go. "But please can we start partying? Or something?"
"Yeah!" said the other five together, and they went to Ross's appartment, all six of them.
