Okay…sorry this part took so long. I was really busy, but here I am!

               "Monica!!! Get off the phone, now!!! This is the last time I'm saying it!!" Judy yelled to her daughter, who was locked up in her room.

               "Just a few more minutes mom!!"

               "You've been on the phone for 2 hours!! That's too long! Get off or I'll take away your phone privileges!!" Judy yelled back. Monica rolled her eyes and spoke softly to Chandler on the other end.

               "Okay, I have to go…my mom's being a bitch. I'll try and call Rachel as soon as I can…." Chandler was just about to interrupt her and say something, but she cut him off. "AND, I know what to tell her, relax. We've only gone over it for the past 2 hours."

               Chandler sighed. "Okay…" He said hesitantly. "Make sure you call her asap, and call me back with whatever happens."

               "Okay, last chance, are you absolutely sure you want me to tell her?"

               "Yes…alright, just get it over with already!" He accidentally snapped. After hanging up with him, Monica went downstairs to try and reason with her mom. "Mom, is it okay if I just use the phone for a little while longer?? I have to call Rachel! It's important!"

               "Only if it's about homework Monica." Judy replied

               "It is!" Monica anxiously lied. Judy gave her permission, but only 15 minutes of permission. As Monica dialed Rachel's number, she began to get really nervous. 'Why am I so nervous? I'm just gonna tell her right when she picks up the phone…I mean, it's not like I like her!' she coached herself.

               "Hello?" Rachel cheerful voice contradicted Monica's nervous one.

               "Rach?"

               "Oh hey Mon! What's up?"

               "Uhhhhhh…ummmmmmm…" Monica hesitated. 'Okay, I'm just gonna say this…' she took a deep breath.

               "Uhhhhh, ummmm, what?" Rachel asked.

               "Okay, see, there's this guy who likes you and we know him really well and he's just too shy to tell you himself because the guy is actually our friend, Chandler." The words quickly, almost carelessly, flowed out of Monica's mouth.

               "Okay, what? All I heard was something about someone liking me, and then Chandler's name." Rachel paused and silently gasped as she put the pieces together. "Oh my god…" she mumbled into the phone.

               "Yeah, Chandler kinda…likes you…" Rachel didn't say anything for about 3 minutes. Monica finally spoke.

               "Rach, are you okay?" Rachel nodded, then realized Monica couldn't see her.

               "Uhhh…yea, sorta…" There was another long pause as Rachel was thinking it over.

               "So…" Monica started. She didn't really know what to say.

               "Is he…is he like…asking me out?" Rachel said reluctantly.

               "Ummm…yea, basically. But, he wants you to know that you don't have to say yes just cuz he's our friend and all. It's not really gonna hurt his feelings."

               "Wow. Okay, ummmm…god, this is hard." Rachel paused again. "What do I do, Monica??! I can't…I don't know what to do!! It's just…it's too much to deal with Mon! I don't know!" Rachel suddenly snapped, causing Monica to jump. Rachel continued. "I mean, it's not like I'm turning him down, because if you really think about it, he's okay! But, I don't really like him in that way! But then, I sorta did have a crush on him in 7th grade! But…arrrggghhhhh!!!!"

               "Okay…Rach, calm down. You don't have to make the decision right now." Monica rolled her eyes. What was she talking about? Chandler told her to tell him Rachel's reply ASAP.

               "Yeah but…shit…I just can't. I don't know Monica. What do you think I should do?"

               'Oh great, I knew she was going to ask this…' Monica thought to herself before she answered. "Ummmm…I think you should just do what your instincts are telling you. Y'know, whatever your heart is saying."

               "God, Monica, I don't need a cheesy counselor!! I need a friend!! Help me out here!!"

               "Okay…okay, sorry. I think…" Monica paused and pondered over her predicament. Rachel interrupted her.

               "Just say whatever Mon! I don't care."

               "Ummmm…I'd really like to see you two together…I guess." She said a little reluctant. 'Somehow, I'm lying. I can feel it…'

               "Really?!? You'd like to see us together? Me, your best friend for 10 years, and Chandler, your other friend for 9?!" Rachel was shocked. She was mentally thinking about Monica's decision.

               "Yeah…I mean, it would make him really happy, and I know you could get along with him well. I mean, you already do now." None of them talked for about 5 minutes. They were both thinking everything over.

               "We really need to talk about this Monica."

               Three hours later, Monica called Chandler to tell him the answer.

               "Monica???" Chandler was anxiously waiting her call.

               "Sorry Chandler…"

               "What took you so long?! It's been three frickin hours! What the hell were you guys talking about??"

               "Sorry, we were only on the phone for two hours, but my mom scolded me for talking so long. So I had to wash the dishes and take out the trash and other crap first."

               "God, why were you talking so long??! I was dying here! I tried calling your cell, but you turned it off! What were you guys talking about?" He stopped suddenly. "Oh no…she said no didn't she?"

               "What? Why would you think she said no?"

               "Because you guys were talking so long! If she said yes, it would've just been a 'yes, I'll go out with him' and that's it!" Chandler was getting really anxious and nervous.

               "Well, she didn't say no, Chandler."

               "She didn't?! Really??"

               "Yes really…but…she didn't say yes either." Chandler frowned.

               "What?! What do you mean, she didn't say yes or no?! Then why the hell were you talking so long??! You spent two hours discussing this, and all you come up with is this shit?!!" Chandler was frustrated.

               "God, Chandler, calm down! We're sorry, okay? We were just debating on what she should do; y'know, talking about the pros and cons…that kinda stuff. She said she needed to think about it for a while. She's gonna take a shower and then call me back."

               Chandler groaned loudly into the phone. "She better have an answer as soon as she calls you back!" Chandler stopped, realizing he sounded really mean. "I'm sorry Mon, it's just…it's hell waiting for her answer!! I keep thinking she's gonna say no! God, she's gonna say no, isn't she?"

               "I dunno Chandler, I really don't. But, if you want my honest opinion, it sounded like she was leaning more to the yes side." Chandler perked up just a little bit. He sighed and put his head down on his desk.

               "Call me back when she gives you the answer." He said dejectedly.

               "Okay…stop worrying so much Chandler!" He muffled out an 'okay'.

               "Alright, I'll call you back. Bye."

               Rachel stepped into the hot shower and closed her eyes. She needed to relax and not have all the pressure on her. Slowly bathing herself, she thought hard about what her reply would be.

'Chandler's an okay guy. I mean, he's not ugly, stupid, gay…Gay! Oh no, if I go out with him, people are gonna start saying things! Why does everyone have to think he's gay? He went out with Stephanie for crying out loud!! Uggghhhh…I hate this!' She let out a deep breath. 'Okay, Monica said to weigh the bad things and the good things. Bad things…everyone thinks he's gay, he has some pretty lame jokes, he hasn't had too many girlfriends, he seems a little self conscience, and he can be a little annoying. Okay, okay, good things…he's kinda cute, he does have a few good jokes, he's funny, he's fun to be around, seems like a romantic, good at math, kind, respects everyone's opinions…and he's a great friend.'

               45 minutes later, and as wrinkled as a prune, Rachel picked up the phone and dialed Monica's number.

               "Monica?"

               "Rachel! Oh thank god! So…did you think about it?" Monica was relieved to finally hear from her.

               "Yea…I did…a lot. I think…" Rachel sounded really reluctant, but also a little relieved. "I think I'm gonna say…"

               "Hello? Chandler?"

               "Monica? What did she say??!" Chandler was demanding again.

               "Ummmm…" Monica started slowly. She was trying to think of the best way to break it to him. "I think you might want to sit down…"

               "Oh my god, Monica…do I really wanna hear this?" Chandler was dreading Rachel's 'no', but was instead surprised…

               "Of course you do cuz Rachel said yes!!!" Monica practically shouted into the phone, scaring a passing Ross.

               "What?!" Chandler couldn't believe his ears. "Are you serious Monica?! You better not be pulling my leg!! Don't joke like that!"

               "I'm serious Chandler! I'm telling the truth! She really did say yes!"

               "Oh my god!!" It was now Chandler's turn to use those words. "Oh my god…oh my god! Wow!" He was smiling ear to ear, and Monica could tell.

               "Wow, I feel so good to finally tell some good news!" Monica squealed.

               "And I feel so good to finally hear some!" Chandler wanted to hug someone. He was pacing around his room like crazy. 'If I were a girl,' he thought, 'I'd be screaming to death by now.'

               "So, are you really happy Chandler?" Monica realized that was a stupid question. It was evident in his voice that he's never been happier.

               "Oh my god, Mon, that is such an understatement!" Monica laughed.

               "Oh! But Rachel also said that she doesn't want everyone to find out so soon. Like, she doesn't want the whole school to know tomorrow. Y'know, kinda keep it a secret."

               "Okay, sure…I can do that. If that's what she wants."

               "Yes…it's what she wants."

               The next day at school, Chandler, Rachel, and Monica all felt a little awkward around each other. Chandler and Rachel gave permission to tell Joey, Ally, and Phoebe only.

               "Dude, are you serious?!" Joey was shocked when Monica told him. "They're going out?! Holy shit, that's huge! I didn't think Rachel would actually say yes to him! I mean, no offense or anything."

               "Well…you better believe it! They're going out. I think they're going to the movies tomorrow or something." Monica informed him. When she told Phoebe and Ally, they acted like Joey…on steroids.

               "What?!?!! Chandler and Rachel!?!?!!" Phoebe and Ally shrieked at the same time. "They're going out?!?!?! What the hell!?!? When did this happen!???!" Phoebe demanded.

               "Just last night…" Monica laughed a little on how weird that sounded.

               "Wow!!!! That fast?!?!!? Whoa…this is just too fucken huge!!!!!!  Oh my god!!!! I mean, it's like…really fast that's why!!! It's like one day we're all just friends, and the next day we're still friends, but wait…don't forget about Chandler and Rachel, THE COUPLE!!!!!" Ally was freaking out again.

               "Ummmm…okay guys, calm down. You're going to have to accept it." Monica wasn't even sure if she did.

               "Accept it?!? Isn't it weird Monica??! Why are you so calm!?!?!? Freak out a little!!!!!" Phoebe snapped back.

               "Okay…okay!!! I'm sorry guys, I've been trying to hold it in, for Rachel's sake…but, oh my god, it is weird!!!!!!!! Don't tell Rachel or Chandler I'm saying this, but…I just can't!!! Uggghhhhh!!! I mean, Rach and Chandler trusted me to be like the 'go-between' because they thought I was a good friend and everything, but I'm really not!! Because it's too weird!! It's like two of my best friends going out, I mean, that's weird!!!!! It's…ahhhhhhhh!!!" Monica vented out all her pent up feelings. That little bit of reluctance she felt the night before, erupted into this fit. "I'm trying my best to just accept it and shit, but it's hard!!! I think it's kinda working a little bit…but it is still weird!!!!!! Help me guys!!!!" Monica stopped to breathe. "I mean, ahhh! I'm trying really really hard to cope with it, but it's so awkward between the three of us! Cuz it's like, I'm the go-between and they're going out!! What makes it even weirder is that they're kinda hesitant around each other too!!!! I just…I can't deal with this here. It's too much…just...leave me alone!!"

               Phoebe and Ally just stared at her blankly. They looked at each other and shrugged. "It's what she wants…" Phoebe told Ally as they walked away shaking their heads.
