"Relax Pheobe," Monica said, " We are going for a drive."
Monica grabbed her coat and her keys and headed out the door. the others followed. Pheobe was a little behind.
"Monica, wait Monica," she yelled from behind, " I dont think this is a good idea."
"Why? yelled Monica back, she started to walk towards pheobe, "they (gesturing to them) want to meet him."
"Monica come on be serious," said Phoebe.

NOW PART THREE
"Come on. Lets go," Monica hollered to Pheobe. Everyone else had piled into Monica's car.
Pheobe sighed and yelled back, " all right, I'm coming. Bob I'm going out for a little bit Ill be back soon."
After about twenty minutes on the road Monica's beeper went off. She pulled it out and looked at it while driving, "damnit it's work." She pulled out her cell phone and dialed the restaurant's number.
"Hey it's Monica, what's up? This better be an emergency."
The girl on the other line explained the situation to Monica.
"Damn it, Fine I'll be there as soon as I can I've got to turn around I'm about fifteen minutes away. Just keep the guest calm, I'll be there soon.'
"What's wrong?" asked Joey
"Just about everything. Let's see we had a fire, one of the waiters dropped a plate of hot marinara sauce on the mayor hmm other things the sprinklers went off and the alarm wont' stop going off so the cops keep showing up. looks like you guys will have to wait to meet my husband."
Restaurant
"Okay Pheobe I'll call you when I need a ride home," Monica said handing the keys to Pheobe. The two were standing outside of the car.
"Okay."
Monica made her way into the restaurant when Pheobe realized something.
"Oh Monica wait."
"What?" "Um ha ha I forgot a little thing."
"What's that?"
"Do you mind if Joey and Chandler stay at your place?"
"What? Pheobe I thought you had this all planned out." Monica said in a mocking tone.
"Well I did. I planned on them staying with you."
"Well it's find with me, if it's okay with Chandler."
"Monica I'm sure he's over you almost killing him," Pheobe said smiling to Monica
Monica smiled and "I'll see you later. I have to go straiten out this mess."
A cop car pulled up to the restaurant just as Monica said this.
"Ugh!"
Pheobe laughed and said goodbye.
Pheobe's living room later that evening.
"Okay guy's there's something I have to tell you. I can't believe I didn't tell you this."
"What's up?"/"What is it?"/
"Are you pregnant with Elvis's baby?" asked Joey
"No, but that would be cool," Pheobe replied thinking about tit.
"Thanks honey," Bob said.
Phoebe looked at him, "Oh honey relax, it's just a thought."
"Pheebs what did you have to tell us?" asked Rachel.
pheobe took a deep breath and said, "okay the thing...okay the thing.."
"Yes?" interrupted Chandler
"The thing is Ted well he's not so much living."
'What Phoebe?" asked Ross
"See right before Cassandra was born Ted was in a car accident. He had some complications with surgery and he didn't make it," explained Bob.
"Ohhhh, so that's why you were so worried when Monica had complications," Rachel said.
"Yes. I feel horrible about not telling you. I ...god ...it's just everyone here knows..and I just.."
"Figured that we knew" completed chandler.
"Okay so if Ted's dead, then where was Monica taking us?" asked Joey.
"Um I could only imagine the cemetery. Which is weird because she hardly goes."
"Why?"
"Well, at first she went alot. But then she got really bust with the restaurant and having two kids. And I think it makes her even more sad... I mean it's been four years. she never gets over anything. Must be a Geller thing."
"What's that suppose to mean Phoebe?" asked Ross
"Well you still haven't forgiven her for that night."
"Alright that's it I've had it. Would somebody please tell me what everyone is all mad at. I just can't handle it anymore." exclaimed Joey.
"Woah calm down buddy," Said Chandler, "it was a little after you moved out to L.A."
"I was having some business colleges over, kind of a little party,"continued Ross, " I asked Monica to cater it for me."
"I was there, being her old partner, I helped her. hmmm and none of you blame me."
"Well Phoebe you didn't touch the meat did you?" asked Rachel.
"Well no"
2000. Monica's Apartment Monica and Pheobe are there. Monica is on the phone with Ross.
4pm
"Okay Monica now everything has to be perfect these are very important people," warned Ross over the telephone to Monica
"Ross, dont worry everything is going to be okay, jeez you act like I've never cooked a meal before."
"I know I know it's just that..."
"Ross everything will be okay."
"okay see you later."
"Okay bye-bye," Monica hung up the phone.
"God I've never seen anybody worry as much as him."
Monica laughed at Phoebe's remark.
"I can't believe I got all this food from work. IT was great they ordered way too much and they heard my brother was having a party they practically begged me to take it." "This is great not only do you not have to buy the food you still get paid," Pheobe said.
"no no I'm not getting paid, it's a favor," Monica said smiling.
"Oh I see."
7 PM later Ross's apartment. Everyone is there except for Joey.
Monica put all the food into the kitchen she set up all the plates and with Pheobe's help served all the guests who were seated at the table.
"Wow Mon this looks great, Thank you so much," Ross said.
Monica smiled, "well your welcome, save some for me."
" your not staying Monica?" asked Rachel.
"no No I have to go to work they are having a mini crisis. I'll be back later."
3am
Monica returned from work to an empty and dark apartment. She looked over at Ross's place. It was drank. He must have gone to bed, she thought to herself. She walked over to the answering machine and saw that she had a message.
"Hi Monica this is Pheobe. Um weird thing happened. All the guest have seemed to have gotten food poising, or something called e-coli...."
"Oh god!" Monica exclaimed.
"Anyways they've all been admitted. The doctor said something about being luck and if they had waited they could have died..."
"no. no. no. no. no."
"Well we are at Beth Israel. Man I'm glad I'm a vegetarian."
Present day 2009.
"So that's why your mad at her?" asked Joey
"Gee I dont know almost killing us ya what are we thinking guys," remarked Chandler.
"Guys get over yourselves it's been what? like 9 years. my god Think about all the things I've forgiving you guys for."
"Come on Joey, spoiling the end of a book and or tying your shoes together is not exactly the same as almost killing someone, " replied Ross.
"Pheobe did you say she got the food form work?" Rachel asked.
"Oh ya, infect that's what the mini crisis was. Some people had gotten sick and they weren't sure why. Didn't Monica ever tell you that?"
"no we just assumed she bought it on her own. oh hmmm."
Later that Night at Monica's house.
Monica walked into her house exhausted. It was a tough night at work and she wasn't sure she was going to make it. IT was one disaster after another. She laughed as she thought of an episode of this television show Sports Night when everything went wrong because of the spirit Thespis.
"What's so funny?"
Monica jumped Chandler has startled her.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you."'
"No no its okay i..well I just didn't expect you to be here...in the dark. why arent any of the lights on?"
"Well I was trying to sleep but I couldn't."
"Ohhh I wanted to buy a sofa bed, but my darling husband talked me out of it."
"Monica...listen"
"Sports Night."
"What?"
"That's what I was laughing at."
'What's that? a night where the whole family plays a game?"
"No, (she laughs) it's a television show. Or was. I was thinking of how tonight reminded me of this episode of it. The spirit of an old ancient Greek named Thespis plagued the show and everything went wrong. And how tonight everything went wrong at work."
"oh. I see I wasn't going to say that but..."
"Do you want something to drink? It might help you sleep."
"Sure."
Monica went into to the kitchen with chandler shortly behind her. She pulled out a bottle of red wine and two glasses and placed them on the island. Chandler took a seat on the opposite side of Monica. She poured it into the two cups and gave one to him.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?" Monica asked smiling at him. "What did you spill?"
Now it was his turn to smile at her, " Nothing. I'm just sorry the way we turned out. you know?"
"Ya. I know ..but you know...there's nothing we can do about it. Can't change the past."
"I know, but I'd like us to try and be friends again. The type of friends we were before the e-coli disaster, or the London disaster."
"Well I wouldn't really call it a disaster."
"Well your right, I mean it was pretty good. I mean seven times that's...well that's pretty damn good."
Monica smiled at him, "no I was talking about the e-coli."
"Oh," Chandler reddened and looked embarrassed.
Monica laughed, " I was kidding. I would love it if we could go back to the way we were. Maybe it will be easier with you being on the other side of the country."
Off his reaction she finished, " We won't be near each other to bug each other all the time. And I 'm not there to poison you."
They both laughed.
"So um now that we are well friends again there is something I should tell you."
"Monica I know. Phoebe told us this afternoon."
"Oh she did?' "Ya. I'm sorry."
"Me too. I can' hardly believe it's been 5 years."
"Ya," was the only thing he replied not know what to say.
Monica moved over to the side Chandler was sitting and sat down next to him.
"I mean god to lose someone your so close to. It's awful. I was a wreck those first couple of months." Monica smiled at chandler who seemed to be really listening to what she said.
"But then Cassandra was born, and I realized you know I had two kids now. I had to stop feeling sorry for myself and get back with my life. So I stopped moping around and just learned to make his death my entire life."
"It must have been hard."
"It was. It's not so bad now. Having Pheobe and Bob has really helped. They are two of the greatest friends...except of course for my new-old-best friend."
Chandler smiled at her, then gestured towards the wine, "Another glass?"
The next morning Monica woke up to the sound of her children laughing along with Joey.
She moaned realizing the headache she had. She suddenly realized that she was not alone in bed. Infact she was in chandler's arms.
"Oh god," she whispered.
