Hey all, I'm back with another chapter. Also to clear up things, I know
that Rachel probably wouldn't get evicted that fast but for the sake of the
story she did. Also, Ross isn't going to be in Peru forever so don't worry.
The same goes for the rest of the gang. I believe that's everything. Oh,
and Chandler is 33 (This is of course is his age after his birthday) now
DISCLAIMER: You know the drill; I don't own FRIENDS and I probably never will . . .
Just Friends?
Chapter 3: The One Where Ross is dressed as a Bunny (Part One of Two)
Chandler awoke on August 19th with just one thought on his mind, 'Ugh. . . it's my birthday. I'm 33 years old." He got up and put on his suit since he still had to go to work, even if it was his birthday. "Rachel! Would like to share a cab with me?" he called. "Um, no, I'm not going to work today Chandler," she called back. "Oh. Well okay then," he said, opening the door.
Rachel was sitting in his chair sipping coffee. "You know if you get anything on the chair . . .you're going down," he said, tilting his head slightly. "Well Chandler, normally I'd be worried but your not Joey," she said, casually without even looking up from the magazine that she was reading. Chandler just left, mumbling more stuff.
As soon as the door closed, Rachel sprang into action. She ran into her room and came out a split second later with a huge bag of 'party' stuff. "It's party time," she said, smiling widely. 'At least that stupid party store had party decorations,' she thought as she strung up a Happy Birthday banner. She was, however, kind of worried about how she was going to get Chandler back to the apartment at 1:00 PM. The gang would hopefully start arriving in a couple of hours. She couldn't wait.

'It's 11:30, are they all gonna arrive at 12:00 on the dot?' Rachel thought, starting to feel anxious. She had gotten the decorations all set and had put out refreshments. Oh, and of course sandwiches for Joey. She looked around and wondered to herself why she had been thinking those thoughts earlier about Chandler. 'I mean, is it inappropriate? Would Chandler even consider going out with me?'
KNOCK, KNOCK! Rachel quickly sprang up to answer the door. She opened it to reveal Joey with a present and a plastic container of red and green cookies. "Merry Christmas Rachel!" he said, leaning to kiss her on the cheek. Rachel just looked at him with a strange look in her eyes. Joey didn't even seem to notice as he walked in, set the cookies, and present down.
"Joey, honey, its August. It's not December. I should know since it is hot outside," said Rachel, talking to Joey as if he was kindergartner. Joey looked at her in his classic confusion. "But your invitation says it was a Christmas party." said Joey, pulling the invite out of his back pocket. Rachel heavily sighed and turned over and pointed at it. In big letters it said, P.S This is a birthday party!!! "Oooohhh." he said. Rachel nodded and shoved a beer in his hand. Joey just grinned as if nothing had happened. "So what did you get Chandler?" she asked, grabbing a beer for her self. "Well, I got him a signed poster from me, since you never know how valuable that might be on Ebay. Oh! And porn," he said, smiling. Rachel smiled and shook her head.
KNOCK, KNOCK went the door. This time both Joey and Rachel hopped up. Joey went and opened the door to reveal. . .a big blue rabbit. "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" screamed Joey, leaping about 10 feet in the air. He ran and hid behind Rachel. She coughed and said, "Yeah Joe, you're a man."
"Rachel, Joey? It's me Ross," said the bunny, taking off its whiskers to reveal a familiar paleontologist. "ROSS? What the hell are you doing? Why are you in a bunny suit?" growled Rachel, placing her hands on her hips. "Well the invitation said that it was an Easter party and I though it'd be kind of coo." started Ross before Rachel and Joey both said "the back of the invitation." Ross looked at them strangely before getting the invitation out of his back and looked at the back and gave them a look (much like the one when he read Rachel's letter, the 18 page one, and later exclaimed "It so does not!") "Then why didn't you put it in BIG BOLD LETTERS?" he exclaimed crossing his arms. "But Ross, then when would we ever see you in a bunny suit?" said Rachel, smiling. Ross just frowned and banged his fists together. "Yeah, mature Ross," said Joey, as he was looking at a magazine. He laughed and pointed at a picture. "What's so funny Joey?" muttered Ross. "Hee, hee. Boobies." Rachel groaned and went to the fridge to grab Ross a beer.

'Oh crap. How long is this gonna take?' thought Chandler, as he sat in traffic or well, his cab sat in traffic. 'I need to see Rachel. Okay, I don't need to see her. I want to see her. Is that wrong? She did it with Ross. Why wouldn't she agree to me? I have to talk to her. This is driving me crazy,' thought Chandler, now knowing what he must do.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Here, we're still waiting for Mon and Pheebs," said Rachel, tossing a drink at him. "What Mon isn't here yet? She called me an hour ago asking me if I was going. She was on the ground then," said Ross, opening his beer and taking a sip. Rachel giggled. It was quite a sight to see the Easter bunny leaning against the counter drinking a beer.
Again, the door swung open as a turkey with a Monica on it appeared. "Mon! It's nice to see you!" said Joey, running over to her. "Yes, Joey the turkey's for everyone," said Monica, almost automatically. "Yay!" Joey grabbed the turkey and set it down on the counter. "Mon! How are you?" squealed Rachel, running over to hug Monica who hugged her back. "I just want to ask. Why is this a Thanksgiving party? Chandler hates Thanksgiving." Rachel signed and explained the whole situation.
"Wow. When is he getting here?" asked Monica, settling in Chandler's leather chair. "I called his office this morning and they agreed to send him home around 12:30. Which reminds me, it's about 12:00 right?" asked Rachel, looking around for a clock of some sort. "Where's Phoebe?"
::BATMAN MUSIC SUDDENLY IN THE BACKGROUND::
The door flung open to reveal. . .Batgirl. "Oh dear lord. Looks like Phoebe is here," said Rachel slapping her head and sitting down. "Hello everyone!" she said, giggling in her Phoebe fashion. "There is no time to explain Phoebe, but this is a birthday party," said Rachel, head still in her hands. Phoebe grinned even wider. "Oh, I knew that already. I'm not an airhead," she said, grabbing a beer. They all groaned. "Now all we need is the birthday boy," said Ross, taking another swig from her beer.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'I hope she feels the same way. I don't want to ruin a friendship, but I need to tell her.' Chandler approached the door with roses in hand. He had given it a lot of thought, he decided to tell Rachel how he felt, and maybe they could fix it. He sighed and put his key in the door.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh! He's here, quick! The lights!" whispered Rachel, frantically. She wanted the make Chandler happy since he was being so nice. She admitted now that she kind of had a crush on him but now that Ross was here, she felt weird about it now. It just made her think about how she felt on the plane to England that one time. Arg! This is so damn confusing. Maybe this will make her feel better. . .
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Oh, it's a cliffhanger baby! I'm evil I know. . . wait until later!
