The One With the Guilt

Authors Note - OK, I'm getting the impression that you don't like M&J!!!! Don't worry this will end up C I probably should have put that at the start! Sorry! And LancerBabe there's no need to be nasty everyone else managed to get their point across you don't have to insult me.

Well here it is TOW the Guilt...

[con't from before]

Joey : It's Monica

Phoebe: what? You want a Margarita?

Joey: No, it's Monica, this woman. It's Monica

Phoebe: Monica? Chandler's Monica Monica?

Joey: I know I'm a terrible person.

Phoebe: No you're not. You can't help it. What about her?

Joey: Whaddya mean?

Phoebe: Does she feel the same?

Joey: I don't know, she's blowin' hot and cold. One minute it's just a fling, the next she loves me.

Phoebe: You need to talk to her. [Joey nods]

Opening Credits

[Joey is sitting in Monica's apartment. There's no one there until Monica walks in]

Monica: Hey Jo. What are you doing here?

Joey: I think we need to talk

[Monica looks reluctant but eventually nods and sits down next to him (on the couch)]

Monica: So what's up?

Joey: I need to know where I stand

Monica: [looking uncomfortable] stand with what?

Joey: Monica please don't play dumb with me. You know what I'm talking about and I need to know.

Monica: I know Joey I'm sorry it's just. I don't know what it is. One minute I think I should be with you but I always end up thinking about.

Joey: Chandler

Monica: yeah. I don't know what's wrong with me

Joey: you're in love with Chandler

Monica: I guess I am

Joey: and you're happy with Chandler and you shouldn't through that away.

Monica: no but I...

Joey: No buts. I don't mind honestly. Hey it's me Joey. I have a different woman every week remember. Don't worry about it. At lease I know now.

Monica: you're so great; I really don't want to lose you as a friend

Joey: you couldn't if you wanted to

[They hug and don't let go for a long time]

Joey: Just promise me one thing?

Monica: what? Anything

Joey: sort things out with Chandler. He things you're avoiding him

Monica: yeah I guess I have been. I will. Tonight.

Joey: Let me know how things go.

Monica: you'll be the first person I tell

[Monica's. Monica is there setting the table. It looks really romantic with candles and loads of delish food on the table. Chandler walks in]

Chandler: Mon what's all this?

Monica: it's just my way of saying sorry for being so distant over the last few days. I've been really rude to you and I'm sorry. I'm just not been a good girlfriend this past week

Chandler: [smiling slightly] don't worry you've been.a little weird I admit but I love you. We're allowed to annoy each other sometimes.

Monica: I love you so much

Chandler: I love you too. God this is perfect.

Monica: yeah now why don't you make yourself comfortable. I just need to run across the hall. [she goes to leave]

Chandler: [sitting at the table] if you're looking for Joey he's gone

Monica: [freezing] what? Gone where?

Chandler: I dunno. He said he had something's to think about and he was going away for a few days.

Monica: did he say when he'd be back?

Chandler: no he said he'd call in a few days, but I gotta say, whatever it was sure got him upset. At first I thought he was going forever.

Monica: [echoing] forever?







Authors Note - See? Every writer has a plan! Monica slept with Joey so that eventually she'd figure out she loves Chandler. Don't worry all will become clear in the next few weeks. Thank you for reading and please review.
