The confusion about Carol
From Ross's POV, a little into what's happening when Ross and Carol start to drift apart, its just an introduction into this area though so its not very long - *Vic*

I got home late that night, there was a problem at the museum, some kid had put gum on the triceratops In the worst places, then they had defaced the sign according to its new 'features'. I sighed as I slumped on to the couch, Carol didn't seem to be around, "Carol!" I called just to be sure. There was no answer so I went over to the fridge to see if she'd left a note. I found one easily on a blue piece of paper, it read "Ross – I'm going to be late home, there's a members night at the gym. Be back later (8:30?), you should order Chinese or something – Carol" The gym again? Her and her new friend Susan always seem to go there. Did she have a secret boyfriend or something? No, of course not, what am I thinking? Crazy, that's right! I grabbed the phone and pushed some buttons, the previous though almost entirely forgotten, and ordered some Chinese for Carol and myself, I'd just leave it in the fridge till she got back. I glanced over at the time, it was only 7:15, I decided to order some extra food was I was on the phone, I'd see if Chandler wanted to come over and hang out. After making my order I hung up then dialled Chandlers number, she'd been really bored in the past two weeks, now both Phoebe and Monica had jobs. Phoebe just got a job as a masseuse, she really had the knack for it and was really in to that spiritual stuff anyway which helped. Chandler had a job but usually found a reason not to go to it, and he wondered why he hadn't been promoted! He loved hanging with the girls and everything, but he also needs a guy to talk to once in a while. The phone stopped ringing and a beat voice answered "Hello?"
"Hey Chandler, you sound happy." I stated surprised.
"Well yeah, its cos no-one ever calls." He explained.
"So you wanna come over? I got Chinese!" I tempted.
"Sure, sounds fun. So, where's Carol?" He enquired.
"Out." I stated rather bluntly.
"Still not um…" He started to ask.
"No." I interrupted.
"I take it your still doing your karate then?" He presumed.
"I yeah." I said, "So you come over and we'll talk somemore, but not about this particular subject, okay?" I checked.
"Sure, be over like 10 minutes?" He asked.
"Fine." I agreed. "Cya." I said then hung up, sinking Into the couch. It's going to be a long night, I thought to myself.
~Time lapse~
It was about ten minutes since I'd called Chandler, there was a knock on the door to my apartment. I opened it and the delivery guy was there holding my order in a brown paper bag. I quickly paid him and put the bag on the counter beside me. I was by the fridge getting a beer when I heard another knock on the door. Most likely it'd be Chandler so I grabbed an extra beer and opened the door, "Hey man." I greeted him.
"Hey." He replied as I put a beer in his hand.
"How are things with the room-mate situation?" I enquired.
"Well I've given a few interviews, most the guys weren't my type." He said, I coughed and gave him a look causing him to quickly continue and a fake stern look, "No Ross, I didn't mean it in the way my dad would have meant it. I mean we get along, you know personality."
"Oh, so what you gonna do?" I asked.
"Wait until the right one comes along, I want someone who can be my friend and pay the rent." He explained.
"So you wanna watch some TV?" I asked him.
"Yeah, sure." Was his only response as we settled down with another bottle of beer and our Chinese food to watch some TV to forget about all of the problems we had in the real world.
