"Ooohhh…ooohhh…" Jo O'Meara's voice echoed through the room, along with the first strums of the hit, 'Never Had a Dream Come True'.
'Everybody's got something
They had to leave behindOne regret from yesterday
That just seems to grow with time'"R-r-Richard? Is that you?" Chandler stuttered. Monica stared at Richard. "What are you doing here?" Monica finally asked.
"Well, OK, I saw the ad on TV, and I coz I LOVE S Club 7, I thought, "Why not?" So here I am!" Richard chuckled aimlessly.
"Mon, Bradley could partner with Richard," Chandler whispered. Monica grinned. Richard felt a pang of jealousy. He could not believe that he couldn't say a nice joke, but Chandler could. Chandler was that person who broke out a smile on to Monica's face. The idiotic Chandler who always freaked him out with his jokes. "Who's Bradley?" asked Richard. "Love S Club 7, yeah right," Monica said under her breath.
'There's no use looking back
Or wondering
How it could've been now
Or might've been
All this I know
But still I can't find
Ways to let you go'
"I just noticed a dance floor. You wanna dance?" Richard asked Monica. (a/n: I know, I know, times seems unbelievable to have a room with 20 seats only, but still has space to have a dance floor, but hey, it's my fic, isn't it?) "Couldn't hurt," she said and got up. She didn't want to dance with him, but seeing that it would be impolite to refuse, she accepted.
Jo's voice was backed-up with the rest of the members.
'I never had a dream come true'Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me too
A part of me will always be…
With you…'
"Monica…there's a reason of why I chose this song to walk up to you…"
'Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time (aahhh)
And tomorrow can never be
Coz yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could've been now or might've been
All this I know
But still I can't
Find ways to let you go…'
"And what is that?"
Richard sang the chorus with S Club 7.
'I never had a dream come true'Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me too
A part of me will always be…'
Monica blushed and looked away from him and started staring at the stage.
"Monica…" Richard started again.
Monica had been staring in front of her, thinking. 'Richard was what I thought was 'the one'. He gave me surprises, surprises, and more surprises. But did he give me love? He didn't. Just surprises. And then, he says, "I don't wanna" to my biggest dream. My biggest dream…' "Yes?" she jerked out of her train of thought.
"Would you like to get back together with me?"
"What?" she was surprised at the straight-forwardness of Richard.
"Would you?" he asked again.
"Um…Richard…"
'You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will oh baby,
You'll always be the one I know I'll never forget,
There's no use looking back or wondering, (or wondering)
Because love is a strange and funny thing, (and funny thing)
No matter how I try and try, I just can't say goodbye, no, no, no, no'
"You still DO love me, right?"
"I USED to love you…I really don't anymore…"
"OK…" he said, dejected. "Bye then,"
"Bye," she said, not trying to console him. (a/n: I know I put down Richard easily, but I HATE writing that name!!!) He wasn't making signs of being 'the one' anyway.
The chorus was sung again, while Richard left the room and Monica was walking back to Chandler. 'I never had a dream come trueTill the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby,
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
Jo finished the song as Monica reached her seat next to Chandler.
A part of me will always be
with you'
Chandler noticed her look of sadness and told her to sit down and wait for him. He got up and went up to ask S Club 7 for a song. When he got to the seat, the jumpy beat of the song he had requested for had come out the speakers. He was greeted with a questioning look from Monica. "Just listen," he said, answering her unasked question. Bradley took the mike from Jo. Jo went to the back of the stage to ask the band to play the tune of the song that they were going to sing.
'C'mon, c'mon, best friend
We all need a best friend, a best friend
I remember when we was young
Playing pool after school, keeping it cool
People say we were the troublesome two
I know the girls liked me and you
I can never forget the times you've covered my back
You helped me out and cut me slack
There was nothin' you'd never do
It's all about me and you
You're my brother, you're my sister
We'll stick together
No matter what, no matter what
Best friend, never gonna let you down
Best friend, always gonna be around
You know, whatever life puts you through
I'll be there for you
We all need a best friend, to understand
A best friend, to take your hand
You know, whatever life puts you through
I'll be there for you
You remember the days when we would
Kick back, lay back
We'd be chillin' with the ladies
Those times were the greatest
So don't worry about a thing my friend
Coz you can count on me, thick and thin
Coz I'll be there right till the end, till the end
You're my brother, you're my sister
We'll stick together
No matter what, no matter what
Best friend, never gonna let you down
Best friend, always gonna be around
You know, whatever life puts you through
I'll be there for you
We all need a best friend, to understand
A best friend, to take your hand
You know, whatever life puts you through
I'll be there for you
Come on, come on, best friend
Come on, come on, best friend
Come on, come on, best friend
Come on, come on, best friend
You're my brother, you're my sister
We'll stick together
No matter what, no matter what
You're my brother, you're my sister
We'll stick together
No matter what, no matter what
Best friend, never gonna let you down
Best friend, always gonna be around
You know, whatever life puts you through
I'll be there for you
We all need a best friend, to understand
A best friend, to take your hand
You know, whatever life puts you through
I'll be there for you'
Monica smiled, listening to the lyrics. Chandler was her best friend, for forever.
And nothing would change that.
OK, if you wanted to know why I finished it so fast, I just realized that the whole fic is already kinda long coz of the songs. Sorry you guys.
