Hey! I survived my first few weeks of 8th grade!
We've had soooo much homework and tests that I haven't been able to write my
story! I'm even supposed to be studying for my civil war test now…hehehe. Oh well!
I've gotten all A's so far…one F won't do any harm! LoL…
ANYWAY! I talk way too much! Well, this is the continuation
to A Single Rose! I hope you like it! You probably should read the
first one, or it may seem a little confusing. But then again, it always seems
confusing if you're reading one of my stories! Hehe…This one may be a little
shorter than usual though. I have too much stress on me, so it's not my fault
if it suckier than the usual ones.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters…you should know who
does!
"Whoa!
Man…Ross is gonna be sooo mad! You knocked up his sister!" Joey smirked. "Good
luck dude!"
"What?!
Joey, Monica's not pregnant!!" Chandler rolled his eyes. Joey can be so dense
sometimes.
"You
just said you knocked her up!" Joey yelled.
"NO!
Joey, Chandler said 'we're tying the knot' not 'I knocked her up'!" Monica
slapped him on the side of his head.
"You're
tying the knot?! What knot??! What the hell are you guys talking about?" Joey
was very confused and started to get impatient.
"We're
getting married!" Chandler said slowly. Joey's eyes practically popped out of
their sockets. He couldn't believe what they had just said.
"You…you're
getting married?! To…each other??!"
"Yes!
See!" Monica flashed him the ring on her finger.
"When
did…how did this happen? You guys have only been dating for 3 weeks! You didn't
even have sex yet!!"
Monica
and Chandler blushed.
"Ooohhh!!
Never mind then…" Joey smiled slyly.
"Come on
Joey! Chandler proposed to me last night on the beach, and it was so sweet!
Then, we went back to the room and…you know."
"Yeah I
do!" Joey laughed.
"No! It
wasn't like how you're probably picturing it. It was really nice and
romantic," Monica retorted.
"So, you
guys are really getting married, huh?"
"Uhhh…yeah
Joey!" Chandler said irritably.
"Wow,
hell has finally frozen over," Joey shook his head.
"Married?!
Oh my god!! You're kidding me!" Rachel couldn't believe her ears. She thought
she had just hallucinated.
"Nope!
It's true! Mr. Fear-of-Commitment proposed to me last night!" Monica showed
Rachel the beautiful ring on her finger. Rachel looked at the ring and was
hypnotized
"Oh my
god!!! You guys!! Congratulations!!!!" Rachel squealed and pulled both Monica
and Chandler into a tight hug. "I'm so happy for you guys! But, hasn't it only
been three weeks? You guys haven't even slept together yet!"
"Oh yes they
did!" Joey smirked.
"Yeah, I
know it's really fast, but I love Monica. Y'know? We've known each other for
like 5 years? And…it just fits!" Chandler smiled softly at Monica, who smiled
back.
"Awww…okay,
let's leave these two lovebirds alone. Come on Joey," Rachel pulled Joey away.
"Congrats
dude…you're really lucky!" Joey winked at Chandler with a grin on his face.
Rachel snapped him away.
"We have
the nicest friends," Monica said as she walked over to Chandler. He wrapped his
arms around her waist and kissed her forehead.
"I just
hope I don't get killed by Ross," Chandler joked. Monica smiled and kissed him
lightly on the mouth.
"I'll
make sure he doesn't kill my fiancée. No one lays a hand on you…except for me!"
Monica kissed him again.
"Come
on, let's take this upstairs. We're gonna have to pack soon anyway," Chandler
took Monica's hand and headed towards the elevators in the hotel lobby. Monica
stopped him before they reached them.
"Thank
you Chandler."
"For
what? If it's the ring..then…"
"No,
thank you for completing my life, for completing me. For giving me what I've
always wanted."
"Ditto.
I love you." Chandler kissed her delicately.
"Ditto."
Monica kissed him again as the elevator door opened.
Monica
and Chandler were taking their last walk on the Waikiki beach before they had
to leave for NYC. Chandler looked over at Monica's angel-like face. She was
beautiful. The sun was setting on the horizon and they could hear the familiar
ukulele's coming from the hotel. Monica looked up at Chandler. She was so in
love with him, and it felt great.
"Ooh!
Look, a stick!" Chandler ran over and grabbed the stick that was lying on the
sand. He wrote Chandler and Monica in the sand and drew a circle around
it.
"Uhh…Chandler,
honey. When you write things like that, you usually draw a heart around
it, not a circle." Monica walked over to him and took the stick, ready to draw
a heart.
"No! I
drew a circle because hearts can be broken, but circles go on forever, just
like our love."
Monica
dropped the stick down and smiled lovingly at Chandler. "That's better…" she
whispered and kissed him deeply. As the kiss ended, they slowly swayed to the
beautiful music.
Little did
they know, Joey and Rachel were sitting near the hotel watching them the whole
time. Rachel looked at the couple with tears in her eyes.
"Wow,
it's pretty simple now. About them getting married so soon, don't you think
Rach?" Joey looked over at Rachel.
"Yeah…"
Rachel said quietly. She knew Monica and Chandler shared a love she probably
wouldn't ever get to. "Isn't it weird how to the world you may be one small
person, but to one small person you may be the world?" Rachel said, referring
to Monica and Chandler.
"No,
it's not weird. Not in their case. In fact, it fits."
While
they were on the plane, Monica and Chandler nervously wondered how they were
going to tell Phoebe and Ross. Especially Ross.
"He's
not going to kill me, right? I mean, I could understand why he'd want to shoot
me if I knocked you up…but we love each other and we're getting married."
Chandler nervously tapped his hands on his lap.
"Of
course he won't be mad! Maybe just a little shocked, but not mad! Right?"
Monica looked worriedly at Chandler who had a scared look on his face.
"You
guys, relax! Ross isn't going to kill you! He's gonna be thrilled! And just
think how surprised your mom will be when she finds out!" Rachel grinned
evilly.
"Yeah, you're right! He should be
happy for us! Not mad! Okay then! I'm not worried anymore!" Chandler wished he
could say that was true.
[Kay, I'm just gonna skip this whole plane ride
thing. Okay?]
"Hey!!! We're back!!!!" Rachel shouted as she burst
through the door of her and Monica's apartment.
"Hi!!! Ooh, yay! You guys are
here!!!" Phoebe shouted. "I have some news to tell you!!" Phoebe sounded more
excited than ever.
"What? What news?" Rachel was
jumping up and down.
"Ross
and I…are engaged!!!!!!!" Phoebe yelled. Ross stood up and kissed her.
"What?
You guys are engaged?!!!" Monica was so shocked. She surely must have been
hearing things.
"Yup!!
We got drunk when you guys left and eventually, we ended up falling in love and
getting engaged!" Ross kissed Phoebe again.
"He
proposed to me so sweetly!!!" Phoebe sounded so happy.
Monica
couldn't believe it. She just stood there, too shocked to move or even blink.
"Monica?
Mon?? Hello?" Ross waved his hand in front of her face. "Monica?! Mon!!
MONICA!"
[In the taxi cab, driving home]
"Monica!!!
Mon??! Wake up! Mon?" Chandler shook Monica. She woke up with a start.
"Oh my
god!! I just had the worst dream ever! I dreamt that Phoebe and Ross
were engaged!!!" Monica was breathing heavily.
"Whoa!!
Now there's something that would never happen!" Rachel laughed out loud.
[AN: kay, I have no idea why I wrote that…but I just felt
like writing a weird dream…anyway…]
"Hey
guys!! We're back!!!!!" Joey yelled as he walked into Rachel and Monica's
apartment.
"Ooohh!!
You guys are back!! Welcome home!!" Phoebe ran and gave each of them a hug.
Ross stood up and hugged them as well.
"Welcome
back guys! How was Hawaii?" Ross asked excitedly.
"It was
great…but someone has even bigger news to tell you two!" Rachel and Joey said
together.
"Ooh!!
Let me guess!!!" Phoebe jumped up and down. "You got knocked up!!" Phoebe
pointed to Monica. Monica looked shocked.
"No!!!
Phoebe, I'm not pregnant!"
"Ohh…okay…well…someone
is!!" Phoebe tried to cover up for her mistake.
"Uhhh,
Pheebs, can we talk to you outside?" Chandler didn't want to tell Ross and
Phoebe at the same time.
"Okay!
Ooh!! Secret!! I get to know a secret!!!" Phoebe ran out into the hall.
"Alright,
well…Chandler and I…we…we go together in Hawaii and…well…" Monica started
before Phoebe interrupted.
"He
knocked you up!!" Phoebe yelled.
"No!!!!!
No one knocked anyone up!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Monica yelled so loudly that the old
lady and her granddaughter a few doors down came out.
"Hi,
sorry…" Chandler said as they went back into their apartment.
"So,
anyway…what were you saying?" Phoebe asked.
"Monica
and I got together and….we're…engaged," Chandler explained.
"Wow!!!
Oh my god!!!!! This is humongous!!!!!!! Congratulations!!" Phoebe hugged both of
them with all her might. "Whoa!!!! This is soo cool! Let's go tell Ross!!! I
can't wait to hear what he's gonna say!" She ran into the apartment.
"Great…"
Chandler mumbled and walked in slowly, with Monica in tow.
"Uhhh…Ross,
we have something to tell you," Monica started to say.
"What?
What is it?" Ross looked at them a little worried.
"Ummm…you
see…Monica…and I…we…we kinda…we…well, it's like this…we both…in Hawaii…we
sorta…" Chandler tried to spit it out.
"What?
What happened??" Ross asked.
"Well,
we…we sorta got together…and….and we…I…we….we're engaged…" Chandler finally
said it and looked at Ross nervously.
"You
what?!?!" Ross yelled.
"We're
getting married," Monica said calmly, trying to hide how scared she was.
Ross'
eyes popped out even further than Joey's did, and his jaw dropped and touched
the floor. Literally. He passed out for a couple of minutes. When he finally
regained consciousness, he put both hands on his eyes.
"You…you
what??! I just thought you said you were getting married!?"
"Yeah…we
are," Chandler said.
"You're
getting married??!?! How?!?! Why!!?? Why would you want to get married???!!!"
Ross was stunned.
"I love
her. I love your daughter…your sister. I love your Monica…I mean…I
love…I love Monica!!" Chandler was so nervous and started backing toward the
door. "Please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me!" He shut his eyes tight.
"You
love my sister?" [said like "you slept with my sister" to Joey in TOW Ross'
Sandwich] Ross walked right up to Chandler.
"Yes??"
Chandler opened one eye.
"Oh my
god!!!! That's so incredible!! You guys!!!! Congratulations!!!!" Ross grabbed
Monica and Chandler and hugged them so hard they could hardly breathe.
"Can't…breathe…to…well…"
Chandler said as Ross let him go.
"You
guys, I'm so happy for you!" Ross said sincerely.
"Well,
that went surprisingly well!" Chandler whispered to Monica.
The next
night, Monica and Chandler went out to dinner. When they were done, Chandler
and Monica went walking at Central Park [AN: which I advise you not to do at
night…it's very dangerous]
"Oh,
here. I got this for you." Chandler pulled a single red rose out from behind
his back. "The thing that started it all." He whispered into her ear. There was
a note attached to it. Monica pulled it off and began to read:
My beloved Monica,
Dreams
are made to come true. That's why I'm here with you…I love you Mon. I just
wanted you to know that. I'm so happy we're getting married and I'm not gonna
freak out. Unless you're pregnant or seriously ill! J
Thank you for everything Mon. I made a wish and you came true…
All
my love,
Chandler
P.S.
I seriously love you
Monica
looked up at Chandler with tears in her eyes. Chandler wiped them away and noticed
that some of those tears weren't tears of joy. It was something else…something
that Chandler didn't recognize since they've been going out.
"Thank
you…but…there's something that you should know. Please don't freak out…" Monica
said softly and slowly.
Monica
was in her room trying on a dress that Chandler had bought her. It was
beautiful. She looked beautiful in it, natch.
"Mon??
How's the dress?" Chandler yelled from outside.
"It's
great! Thanks!!" Monica yelled back.
"Does it
fit? Because it surely won't when you start showing!" Chandler yelled and
laughed.
"It
fits! It fits…"
We'll
get through this. I know. We both love each other so much…it'll work out. He
thought to himself.
It
fits…
Hehehe…next part soon..I hope. Unless I get killed
in my civil war test!
