3 Disclaimer: I don't own them

-Chandler enters the Monica and Rachel's apartment. Thinking it's empty; he opens the fridge and takes out a drink. He then hops on the couch and turns on the TV-

M: [upon hearing the TV] ~muttering~ He's supposed to knock. ~outloud~ Richard, is that you?

C: [imitating Richard] Yeah it's me baby. Come out here so I can have you once before we leave.

M: [realizing it's Chandler] You wish Chandler Bing!

C: Sometimes I do.

M: [exiting her room] How do I look? -she is wearing a red, form-fitting dress, with a cutout back and it's halter cut-

C: Sexy as hell…You look incredible Mon. [smiles at her]

M: [smiles back] Thank you. Now, since you're here, come in and help me pick a perfume for tonight.

C: [unsure] okay…

-Both enter her room-

M: [picks up two different bottles of perfume, holds one up to Chan] This one? Or, [switches] this one?

C: Ummm…[thinks while desperately trying not to sneeze] I think I'm allergic to the first one, so the second.

M: Oh, I'm sorry hun. I didn't know. [sprays some of his choice on]

C: So when is your tree in shining armor coming?

M: Don't call him that!

C: What? You don't like him in shining armor?

M: NO, not that. Don't call him a tree.

C: Well, he's tall…

M: So? I'm short, what does that make me?

C: Incredibly cute…umm, a branch?

M: Oh ha ha ha. Well, my terminator is coming in about [glances at her clock] 15 minutes.

C: [gives her a mock menacing look] I'm telling!

M: Oh, grow up!

C: Oh I will, and I will keep growing until I'm bigger and stronger than Richard is!!!

M: Have you fallen asleep again? I think you're dreaming there.

C: Oh whatever. [exits and flops back on the couch]

M: ~rolls eyes~ [goes out and sits down beside him]

-time lapse 5 minutes-

C: So, where's he taking you?

M: I don't know. He said that it was a secret.

C: It better be someplace good.

M: [spacey] Yeah, I hope so.

-there's a knock on the door-

C: Damn! He's early!

M: [going to open the door] at least he knocks!

C: I'm your neighbor!

M: [at the door] Yeah, my food-mooching neighbor.

C: No cute?

M: [opens the door] Hey hun! ~gives him a kiss~

Ri: Hey sexy. Hey Monica. [winks at Chan]

C: [points and laughs a la Chandler]

M: [makes a face] Come in. ~under her breath~ you tree.

C: [upon hearing her] Now you're getting it! [off her look] Oh, you were just kidding huh? [off Richard's confused face and Mon's glare] Well, I'm just going to leave before I say anything that could prove lethal. [runs out]

Ri: What was that all about?

M: Nothing, nothing. [smiles]

Ri: [smiles back] Ready for your surprise?

M: You bet!

Ri: Alright! Let's go babe.

-Both leave-



-Phoebe and Rachel are walking down the street discussing the movie they had just seen-

Ra: Argh! Hugh Grant looked sooo good in it!

P: I don't know… I liked the kid.

Ra: Ewww Pheebs…

P: What? He was cute!

Ra: [rolling her eyes] Yeah right, whatever. It was sooo funny! Except for the part with the duck.

P: That was mean, but it was so fake. But other than that, it was good!

-they stop walking as Phoebe tries to hail a cab-

P: [yelling] Stupid, ignorant taxi drivers!

Ra: That'll get you a cab.

P: I don't see you doing anything!

-finally hails one and they both get in and tell the driver where to go-

Ra: I wonder where Richard took Monica. Probably someplace nice.

P: She's so lucky. A handsome man, who has money and doesn't spend it all on ceramic sculptures of Toucan Sam.

Ra: Uh Pheebs, what?

P: [snapping out] What? Nothing, nevermind.

-they arrive back at Monica and Rachel's-

Ra: I mean, I just wish I could find someone who would love me as much as I'd love them you know? Argh! Men just don't know what's good for them.

P: Ross does. [a la Pheebs] Oops, did I just say that out loud?

Ra: [vaguely hearing what Phoebe said] Phoebe, what does Ross have to do with this? I mean, peop-

P: [interrupting] Ross likes you! [Rach stops talking immediately] Ross likes you Rachel. He has since forever. I can't, we can't believe that you can't see it.

Ra: [stunned] Wow…I…I…wow. Oh my goodness. I can't believe, I mean, I can, but…wow.

P: Yeah, exactly.

-silence-

Ra: Wow, uh, how long has he-

P: A long time Rach, a long time.

Ra: Wow…



I'm gonna end there for now…see, stuff is happening…again, I'll try to type as fast as I can to get the others and the rest up…enjoy and don't litter!
