~For The Love of Another Man~
Monica woke up right when sunlight leaked through the curtains. She looked over to her left and saw Chandler lying there beside her, his eyes tightly shut. She then looked over to her right and saw Michi, who also was stirring. She suddenly gets up, rubbing her eyes.
Monica: Morning sweetie...
Michi: (stares at Monica) Are we still in the airport?
Monica: (laughs lightly) Nooo sweetie...but we had to end up sharing a room...
Michi: Ooh! Yay!! (she gets up and hugs a taken aback Monica)
Chandler: Morning! (he sits up and smiles at Michi hugging Monica)
Monica: (turns to him slightly, Michi still hugging her) morning Chandler...
Michi: Dadda!! (lets go of Monica and hugs Chandler)
Chandler: Since when do you have a good mood in the morning...huh? huh? (starts to tickle her and Michi falls onto the bed giggling)
(Monica watches them, smiling.)
Monica: Sooo...what are you doing today?
Chandler: Well...the first thing I'm doing is calling my boss and telling him I'll be there in oh, two weeks...
(Monica smiles at him)
Chandler: And then LETS GO HAVE FUN!
~~
Rachel woke up in a bed. She at first forgot where she was, and she sat up shocked. Suddenly the door opens and Ross walks in.
Ross: Good morning! Have a nice sleep?
(Rachel looked at Ross shocked, but then everything came back to her and she smiled. To tell the truth this was the first time she actually slept well.)
Rachel: Great...(smiles) Uumm...where did you sleep?
Ross: On the couch...(grins)
Rachel: Ross! This is your place!
Ross: I know...but it doesn't really matter...
(Rachel smiles sweetly at him)
Ross: Anyway...
Rachel: Yeah...what are you doing today?
Ross: I dont really know...wanna do something?
Rachel: (smiles) Okay...sure!
(suddenly you hear the phone ring from the living room and Ross flashes her one more smile and runs to go get it. Rachel sits there, smiling after him. She then gets up and walks into the living room too. Ross is just putting down the phone, a worried look on his face.)
Rachel: What's up? Who was it?
Ross: uh...okay Rach...
(he sits down by Rachel on the kitchen table)
Ross: That was my girlfriend...Jennifer...she went on this business trip...and she just came back, and she asked if I could go out to lunch with her...
(Rachel sat there, staring at him, trying to hide the hurt look that was spreading across her face. He had a girlfriend. She couldn't believe it...she didn't WANT to believe it. It had never seemed like he had one...he acted pretty lonely. Wait-that's because she was out on a business trip...)
Ross: rach? I know I was the one who asked if you wanted to do something...but-
Rachel: ROSS...it doesn't matter! She's your girlfriend...(she hated saying it, but she had to face it...) go....um...spend time with her! I'll be- umm....fine. I'll just stay here, if oyu dont mind...you know, and um...knit!
Ross: (dumbfounded) You KNIT?
Rachel: I-uh...no, it's just my excuse! (pause) just go!
Ross: But Rach-you know I could cancel...you mean-
Rachel: Ooh...dont say it! Go run to that...umm...Jenni?
Ross: (smiles) jennifer.
Rachel: Great, great! Go...come on! I wont burn down the apartment or something...wait-I gotta go find a hotel! Yeah-there!
Ross: hotel? You mean you dont want to stay here?
Rachel: Oh no Ross...you already let me stay one night-IN your bed...
Ross: Rach, it doesn't matter...come on...you gotta stay with me! Please?
Rachel: Okay Ross...just, dont worry about me...I'm all grown up! I can stay here by myself...go to Jen-jeni-JENNIFER!(she smiles at him and stands up, trying to hold her tears and walks to Ross' room)
(Ross stares after her with a confused look, he then walks over to the phone and picks it up and we fade to his room, where Rachel is in the bathroom. We go in there and see her sitting there, leaning against the bath tub, tears slowly coming down from her eyes)
She had a feeling this would happen...but last night, they had gotten so close again...Rachel thought that maybe-no. It would never happen again...she had had her chance...but she screwed that up too. He had a girlfriend now...he, was taken.
(suddenly we hear a pounding on the door and Rachel quickly puts on the water in the sink and washes her face, making it look like her whole face was wet, so he wouldn't see her tears.)
Ross: (o/s) Rach?? Can I come in?
Rachel: Yeah...sure...
(the door opens and Ross walks in)
Ross: Can I talk to you?
Rachel: Sure! (trying to look happy)
(Ross plops down where Rachel was sitting before, and Rachel follows right away)
Ross: Sooo...I talked to Jennifer...and well, I told her that I couldn't join her today, cause I had a friend over...(he smiles at her and Rachel smiles at him sadly)
Rachel: Rooss...you didn't have to do that...
Ross: Oh come on...I haven't seen you for like 10 years...this is more important to me...(they stare at each other, as they both realise what Ross just said)
(Rachel couldn't believe it...she meant more to him than Jenny or what ever her name was. She wanted to laugh out so much, but she knew that Ross would ask her what was so funny. But now she knew she had a chance...)
~~
Chandler, Monica and Michi left the hotel room shortly after. They decided that they would go to Central Park first, since Michi really wanted to see the playground. Chandler and Monica really didn't mind, and they really didn't have a choice either. Michi was so excited, she was jumping up and down. When they got down to the streets, they began walking, Michi walking in between C&M, holding both their hands[it looks so cute!]. As they neared central park, they noticed the little coffee shop. Central Perk. Monica and Chandler looked at each other, happy, but yet sad, grins on their faces. Monica gave Chandler this look and he nodded...)
Chandler: Michi honey?
Michi: (stops jumping and looks up at Chandler) Yeah?
Chandler: Me and Aunt Monica want to go in there for a while...can you come with us first? It'll only be for a few minutes...
Michi: Okay!
(they walk across the street and enter CP. The familiar smell of coffee fills their noses. They right away look at the orange couch where they used to hang out, and nobody is there. They smile at each other and go and sit down.)
Chandler: Wow...almost nothing has changed!
Monica: Yeah...even OUR couch is still here!
Chandler: Aaw...but look, Gunther's gone...
(they glance at eahc other and laugh. Suddenly a waitress comes up to them and asks them what they want. As they order, we fade to this really big, nice hotel. We go to this huge suite and we see a man sitting on a couch, but we ca only see the back of his head. Then there's another man, in an armchair across from him, asking him questions. After a while, he stands up)
interviewer: thank you sir...that's all I need.
Man: You're welcome...goodbye.
(the man nods his head and walks out. After a while the man turns on a TV and just sits there watching. We slowly go up to him, and we then see it's Joey!)
(suddenly a phone rings next to him and we picks it up)
Joey: (warily) heelllo?
Man's voice: (on phone, V/O) Hello? Mr. Tribbiani?
Joey: Hi...what now? You just called a few minutes agoo!!
Man's voice: Well...just wanted to check out how the interview went...
Joey: GRRREAt...just GREAT!
Man's voice: Oh good, because you've got another one in two hours...and then another one after that!
Joey: WHAT?! (a la Joey) But-but...I just wanted to stay here by myself and well...do nothing!
Man's voice: but sir, this is important...
Joey: Well, tell them to come tomorrow! I want to spend some time alone...that's ONE of the reasons WHY I flew to New York...but the you all follow me!
Man's voice: All right sir...I'll schedule times for tomorrow...
Joey: Good! And please...dont let ANYONE bother me today!
Man's voice: Yes sir. Have a great day.
Joey: yeah...I hope so. Bye. (he hangs up the phone and sighs. He stares at the TV for a while but then starts to look bored. Filming of the new movie started in one week, but Joey had decided to come early to just take a break. It didn't seem to be a "break". He stared around the room and his eyes go wide. He gets up quickly, picking up a jacket, some sunglasses and a hat. He puts it all on and walks out of the door.)
~~
(Chandler and Monica sat in Central Perk, talking and laughing. Michi didn't really mind because she was munching away on a muffin and drinking some hot cocoa. After a while, the door opens and we hear a couple of girls shriek. A table of girls behind C&M swarm around some guy who walked in. Chandler and Monica stare at each other, dumbfounded. After a while, the man gets through them, and the girls walk out the doors giggling and chattering. The man[which we now see is Joey, still wearing the hat and glasses] goes up to the counter and sits down, ordering a coffee. Chandler and Monica have gone back to talking, and Joey doesn't really notice them, since he's off "in his own world".)
Michi: (whispers) Dadda? Can I have another muffin?
Chandler: Sure sweetie...go order one from the counter...
Michi: Are your sure?
Chandler; yes sweetie...nobody will kidnap you! Just go!
(Michi nods and walks over to the counter, sitting up on one of those high chairs, right beside where Joey is sitting. She orders a muffin and gets one, and decides to just sit there. After she's done, she begins to spin around on the chair. Joey glances over at the spinning girl, and a small smile creeps up on his face)
Joey: Hey little kid...
(Michi stops spinning and looks at Joey curiously)
Michi: Uummm...hi.
Joey: Ya know, no matter HOW many times you spin around, it'll always be the same...
Michi: I know mister...but it fun!
Joey: Okkayy...um...where are your parents?
Michi: My daddy and my aunt are right there...(she points over at Chandler and Monica, and for the first time, Joey actually notices them. But he tried not to believe it...he could only see them from the side anyway...) DADDDAA!! (Chandler turns to Michi and sees a man staring at him, and Michi pointing. Wait-that man...it was Joey!!!! Chandler glances at Monica and notices her shocked look too. Joey stares at them, trying hard not to believe it. But it was true. There were Chandler and Monica. Chandler stared at him. There was Joey.)
~~
TO BE CONTINUED...
There you go!! Chapter 5!! Hahahhahaha...sorry for leaving you off like that...it's just, I am sleepy...and I have soccer practise tomorrow...and a game on Saturday...and well...I need my beauty sleep!! Hehe...that's actually not the real reason...actually I'm just tired of typing...so I'll wait until tomorrow or later, to type more. So, thank you for reading this part...and please, review now and tell me what you think!! THANKS!
