Chapter 2: The One with the Invitation for all Occasions

Rachel awoke the next day to see a completely different surrounding then she was used to, 'Oh yeah. That's right, I live here at Chandler's now," she thought, slipping out of bed.

She looked around and smiled. It was definitely Joey's old room, based on the fact of the large stack of porn in the corner. She laughed out loud. She missed Joey and the rest of the gang. 'I wonder how they're doing?'

She looked around for maybe a sign of clothing but to no avail. It was then that she noticed a large burgundy robe draped on a chair. She approached it curiously. Picking it up, she also noticed that her initials were embroidered in gold on the breast pocket. Rachel traced her fingers over it with wide eyes. 'This is beautiful. How did it get here? Oh, of course Chandler must have gotten it for me. He's such a sweetheart,' she thought while slipping it on. It was very warm and it almost felt like Chandler was holding her again. She had felt so warm and cozy inside. 'Wait a second, why am I thinking these things. I'm not going through what I did with Ross. Chandler is way too much of a friend to lose. I must be thinking this because he's being so nice to me,' she thought, opening the door and walking out.

She found Chandler sitting at the counter, still dressed in his blue bathrobe. Rachel couldn't help but notice how handsome he really was. Even with his hair tousled, he looked incredibly sexy. 'AH! NO! Stop it Rachel don't think this. It's wrong. He's just being nice. . .still. . . he is very sexy,' She grinned and sneaked up behind him. She looked over his shoulder and whispered, "Boo." Chandler shot his head up and jumped out of his seat. "Holy crap! Your worse than Eddie was!" he screeched. Rachel just laughed at him as he settled instead in his recliner, mumbling to himself. Rachel proceeded to pour herself some coffee when she noticed the calendar. It was August 16th. Three days before Chandler's birthday. She looked his way and got a quick idea.



"Hey Chan? Do I have any dry clothes?" she asked, quickly. "Yeah, they are in the drawers. You going out?" he said, turning to look at her. Rachel nodded and walked into her bedroom. Chandler watched her leave and smiled. He loved having a roommate again. Plus, Rachel was so sweet and beautiful, not mention her legs we very. . .whoa! What the hell is this? Chandler stood up quickly. Is this a feeling? No. No. No! He ran into the bathroom to take a cold shower and try to forget that he was thinking about how beautiful her leg were. . .AH! STOP IT!



LATER

"So, your trying to tell me that a party store does not have birthday invitation?" said Rachel, placing her hand on her hips. The cashier just looked at her and said in a flat voice, "I'm sorry miss but we are out. Can I interest you in our special invitation for every occasion?" Rachel's mouth dropped in disbelief. "I assume you didn't hear me. I said BIRTHDAY invitations. Not an invitation for every occasion." Again, the cashier just stared at her and pushed a thick packet of invitations at her. "Miss this is all we have. Take it or leave it." Rachel glared at her and pulled out her wallet. "Fine, I'll take two packets of them," she snarled.

Joey Tribbiani was looking through his mail in front of his spacious mansion in the foothills of California. 'Fan mail, bill, fan mail, hmm. . . what is this? Joey, your invited to a surprise Christmas party in honor of Chandler Bing. Please come to his apartment by 12:00 PM on the 19th of August, signed Rachel,' he thought. Joey looked up and looked confused, as usual. "Is it just me or is it August? Oh well, better bring a present and Christmas cookies.

"Dr. Geller! Dr. Geller! You have mail!" Ross Geller looked up from his bone. "Thanks Pedro!" He got up, dusted himself off and looked at the envelope. Its return address was from New York. Chandler and Rachel both still lived there. "Hmmm . . . What is this? Your invited to an Easter Egg Surprise party for Chandler Bing. Please come to his apartment by 12:00 PM on the 19th of August, signed Rachel." Ross looked up, quickly. "Wait a second. It's August not April. That can't be right. Oh well, OH!

In Seattle @ Monica's Place

Monica Geller wiped the perspiration off of her face. "Hey Jill! Is there any mail for me?" she called, walking out into her restaurant. Jill, the waitress came by with a magazine and a letter. "Here you go Monica," she said before sweeping off to serve more customers. 'Ooh! The Cleaning Woman Magazine! Oh, and what's this? A letter from New York?' she thought while opening the letter. It was decorated with turkeys and in big letters it said, you are invited to a Thanksgiving Surprise party for Chandler Bing. Please be at his apartment by 12:00 PM on August 19th. What the . . .? It's August and Chandler hates Thanksgiving. Joey must have sent them out. Oh! I'll make a turkey!!' thought Monica happily as she picked up the phone to call her travel agent.
