::Epilogue::
(*on the screen we see the words 10 years later, and we go to this house, and inside we see a older Mandy. She is now...umm....14. She's going to be telling the story through most of it...if she's not the one v/o then I will say so...* We suddenly see a very pretty girl sitting under a big tree...the sun is setting, and it's getting dark quickly...but she doesn't really care. She just staring up at the moon, which is beginning to appear. After a while, a single tear rolls down her cheek, and she begins to speak voice over)
Back when I was four years old, some terrible things happened in my life that a normal four years old wouldn't experience everyday. When I was a kid, my life was messed up. I had a mother and father-yes, but during those days, I never did feel like I had a father. My mother was a great part of my life, and so was my step dad. My real father, Nick **** was a terrible man...to everyone else, maybe, he was a great person... "Oh Nick ***!! Great lawyer he is! Always wins...I bet he doesn't even know the word LOSE!" Yeah right...I think that after a while, he did get to find out what that word meant...because he lost us, his family. Before that year came, my father was like my idol. I had always wanted to be like him, and sometimes I even pretended that I was; but then that night came. My mother had left home and father came home very drunk...he got mad at me and Bryan for some reason, and when I asked him if he was all right...he slapped me. Bryan and I vowed to never tell mom about it, and till now she doesn't know the details about what happened that night-but I don't think she really wants to know anyway. At that age, I didn't understand what love was...but when mom told Bryan and I that she loved someone that was not daddy...I knew that it was a deeper love than she had ever felt for anybody. Do I sound corny? Because if I do...then maybe you shouldn't be listening to me. This is my life...my story...my fairy tale; and I promise not to leave anything out.
(Mandy[the girl sitting by the tree...duh!] gets up and starts walking to up to the house. It fades out but fades back in and we see her in a room, which is covered up with posters and pictures. She's sitting on the bed looking through a photo album. She then looks to her side and picks up a remote control lying beside her. She hits a button on it and a stereo[which is in front of her] starts playing. A song has just ended and a DJ is speaking. Suddenly the song Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely by The Backstreet Boys starts playing and Mandy flips one more page in the album and stops and stares down at the picture. She begins to cry softly as the song plays:: )*
*I dont really like BSB, but this song kinda suites the situation...if you dont know it, it's actually an okay song...but anyway...back to the fic- sorry, I'm not going to type up the song-it's looooooonng...but until this scene fades out, we can hear the song playing
(the camera goes to the picture that Mandy is looking at and there's only one on the whole page. On the top of the page it says in fancy lettering My Real Family and in the picture we see Chandler, Monica, Bryan and Mandy. A tear falls on the picture and Mandy puts a finger near Chandler's face and starts outlining his face with it.)
Mandy: (in barely a whisper) Daddy...
(as the scene slowly fades out we hear the last words of the song play)
There's something missing in my...heart.
(Bright flash of white light, and it fades to when Monica had to explain what happened to Chandler, to Mandy and Bryan)
Mandy: Mommy...where's daddy?
(Monica stares up at her daughter with hurt eyes)
Bryan: Yeah mom...I thought that we were going out to dinner...
Mandy: When is he coming back, mommy?
Monica: (begins to cry softly) Never sweetie...
Bryan: What?
Mandy: Why mommy? Why are you crying?
(Monica begins to cry harder, and Mandy stares at her sadly. She then begins to cry a bit too)
Bryan: What happened mom?
Monica: Daddy's not coming back guys...he's...gone...forever.
Bryan: (starts shaking his head) No...NO!! this cant be!! Mom...this isn't funny!!
Monica: I'm not joking Bryan...
(Bryan shakes his head and gets up and runs out of the living room, where they're sitting on the couch)
Mandy: Where'd he go mommy?
Monica: He went to heaven...
Mandy: Why couldn't we go with him?
Monica: (stares at her daughter sadly) I dont know sweetie...I just dont know...
Mandy: Does he still love me mommy?
Monica: (stares at her daughter and tears begin to form in her eyes again. Mandy's eyes water up and one tear falls down her cheek) Yes honey...where ever your daddy is right now, I know he is smiling down at you...because he will always love you...and I hope you know that.
(Mandy nods her head and Monica hugs her. There's a flash of light again, and it goes back to Mandy sitting on the bed staring at the picture. She shuts the book and turns off the radio. She lies down and flips over to her back. She buries her face in the bed cover and we can hear her sobbing as the screen slowly fades out...)
next day
(We enter Mandy's room and we see that she's still in the same position than when she was crying, and she had fallen asleep. Suddenly someone starts pounding on the door and after a while, a girl walks in)
Girl: Maaaaaannnddyyyy...!! (shakes Mandy, trying to wake her up. Mandy slowly stirs and looks up at the girl onyl with one eye open)
Mandy: Chriissyyy!* Stop it!
*Remember Chrissy?? The girl who answered R&R's phone-their daughter!!
Chrissy: Hey...it's not my fault...your mom told me to wake you up...
Mandy: What are you doing over here this early anyway??
Chrissy: early??? Mandy...it's 10 o' clock!
Mandy: (sits up quickly) WHAT?! Oh NO! What's today???
Chrissy: Saturday the 11th?
Mandy: oh GOD!! W-w-w-we have to goooo!! (starts to panic, and she's out of breath doing her little "panicky" fics....it looks very funny!!) We (gasp) have to (gasp) go to the cemetery!
Chrissy: (Watching amused) You are SO just like Aunt Monica...
Mandy: Shut up...come on, you're supposed to be "supporting" me or something!! You're my best friend...
Chrissy: Whatever you say girl friend...
(fades out, then fades back in again and we see Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chrissy and Mandy walking through a grave yard...the rest of the kids are already off in college...They stop in front of a tomb stone and stare down at it. It has Chandler's name on it and other stuff that you normally would put on a tombstone[mentioned later])
(they just stand there and do stuff that you NORMALLY do when you visit a grave, and after a while, lets say a time lapse of maybe half an hour they start to walk away.)
Mandy: I'll come in a few minutes...
(everyone just nods and walks off)
Mandy: Hey daddy...Happy Birthday!! Uumm...yeah... I've been thinking about you a lot-well, more than a lot...(smiles) I've been thinking about you since I've been four...I never did understand why you never appeared to bring us to Chucky Cheeses...but of course, now I do. Anyway...I have some things to say that I of course couldn't say before...I've been thinking about this a lot...and I hope that you hear me. Okay then...when I was four, I had a mommy, and a daddy and a brother. I guess life was like something some people could only dream about- and I thought that I had the best life ever. But then, life started turning around, and my father grew farther apart from all of us, until one day, we felt like he just wasn't around anymore. Then mommy met you...and she had you to help us move on in life-and when we did have you...I then noticed that that was the life that everyone dreamed of. I finally noticed that that life that I thought I had had, only came then...when we ran from our past, and began to build up a new future. You inspired me, to tell the truth. Mom told me the whole story, and I cried. I finally understand that the love you had is unbreakable...you two were meant to be; and I hope that one day, I'll be able to find someone like you, dad. Anyway, I'll shut up now...it's your birthday, and I shouldn't be crying...I should be happy...so, again, Happy Birthday daddy...and where ever you are, I hope you know that I will always love you...(kisses two of her fingers softly and touches the tombstone) Bye daddy...(she takes one more look at the tombstone with teary eyes and begins to walk off slowly)
Mandy(v/o): After that day, I felt happy with myself...I had finally expressed everything that I had ever felt, and I hope that where ever he was, he heard those words. Everyday I look at that picture with mommy, daddy, Bryan and I...and when ever I do, I dont feel sad; I feel happy- because I know that they will always be part of my family, where ever life may take any of us...I will love all of them equally...because I know that I am blessed to have a family like them...and they mean everything to me.
Hi people!! Well...I guess that's a wrap!! Woo-hoo! I hope y'll liked it...please review and give me feedback!! Maybe you could even give me some ideas for a fic you want to me to write or something!! Remember-Rachel and Ross, Chandler and monica. That's all I write...if I hear anything about J&R...well...I guess you'd never get any fics by me anymore, coz I would die on the spot-but ANYWAY...that's kind off the subject...ANYHOO! Thanks for reading and keeping up with this fic...please REVIEW for this last chapter...it'll mean a lot to me!! ~steph~(RaChEl 4 RoSs)
