These Two Hearts
"Something to be Thankful for"
Early November, a hotel room somewhere.
"What is this about Rachel? Why are we fighting now?" a man screamed from another room, as we see Rachel frantically packing some suitcases. This man then storms in from the other room.
"Listen Barry, I told you that I didn't want a serious relationship didn't I?" Rachel exclaimed with anger. "I mean for god sakes.I have been on tour for the last year, my tour isn't even finished for another two weeks!"
"Rachel, we are in a serious relationship wether you like it or not. We have been together for the last three years!" Barry now said calmly. "Is this about me proposing" he asked in a whisper.
Rachel turned to face him. She thought to herself what a horrible person she was. Barry was a nice enough guy, and to string him along for almost three years. She finally sighed and looked up. "Listen Barry, I just don't love you, I'm sorry."
Still early November, on a street.
"Do you not understand! I said I NEED A BREAK!" Ross Geller hollered into his cell phone. "I am tired, I have doing this for the past three years, movie after movie. I know you're my agent, but would you stop pushing me," Ross paused listening to the other end of the conversation. Finally he cracked a half smile. "Listen, I just need to take some time off. There are some things I need to take care of. I'll keep in contact, O.K." He pauses again, this time letting out a sigh of relief. "Thanks John, no, I don't think I'll be spending the holidays with you. You take care, talk to you soon."
Thanksgiving, Monica and Chandler's Apartement
"Hey Pheobe.you set five places for dinner tonight right?" Monica shouted from the kitchen.
"No Mon, I set four places, why who else is coming? You didn't invite a date did you?" Pheobe asked nonchalantly.
"What.Pheobe I'm engaged to Chandler! No an old friend from High School is in town and she called and asked if she could spend Thanksgiving with us." Monica glared at Pheobe. She could never tell if Pheobe was serious when she forgot about her relationship with Chandler.
"So is she a hot girl?" Joey piped up from the couch where he and Chandler were seated. Chandler was engrossed in the T.V. and only caught the last of Joey's sentence.
"What Mon? You invited a Hot Girl? Why wasn't I told, this is MY place too." Chandler said a little annoyed. It wasn't that he was mad at Monica, it was the fact that he hated Thanksgiving. Monica shot him a look, then turned to Joey and shot him a look.
"Joey, first of all she may be hot, I don't know, and second of all do NOT even try hitting on her. She is WAY out of your league." Joey was shocked. Out of his league he thought. What woman could be out of Joey Tribianna's league.
"Monica, what woman could resist 'How YOU Doin?" he said as he leaned back with a smile. Joey was full of himself. He considered himself God's gift to woman. This trait could get annoying, but they loved him anyways.
"How bout Rachel Green, you know the singer!" she stated simply. Joey and Pheobe gasped. Chandler though wasn't to shocked. He just turned to Monica and asked a simple question.
"Hmmm, how long as it been since you seen her Monica, its been what two years?" He tried to fill his question with sympathy. Chandler knew Rachel was Monica's best friend in the world. But she rarely ever saw her. He understood how she felt though. After all Joey may be his best friend now. But his truest best friend was one he made in college. But he also went his own way. That could be why Chandler and Monica never mentioned these two, to avoid making Joey and Pheobe jealous, and to avoid the hurt of never seeing there best friends.
Monica let out a sigh, "Yeah honey, almost two years, God I have missed her. It is gonna be so nice to see her again. Catch up her glamorous life." Monica's eyes began to focus on Chandler, she knew what he was thinking, especially since she saw the sadness in his eyes. Ross, her brother, Chandler's college roommate. It had been so long since they heard from him. Ever since that horrible year right after college when he left. They have not heard from him. They of course followed his movies. But it just wasn't the same. Soon Pheobe had re-set the table, while Chandler and Joey were engrossed in the television. Monica was putting some finishing touches on a few deserts when there was a knock at the door. Monica excitedly ran to her door. She opened it and shrieked out "Rachel.Thank God!"
"Monica! Oh my God! Its been so long!" Rachel shrieked as she stepped into her oldest friend's apartment. Before a reply could be made the two friends embraced. Tears began to flow from there faces and Rachel just smiled and whispered, "I promise that I well see you in person more often, and I well call you more often."
Monica broke the hug and stared at her, a smile spread across her face as she dried her tears, "I would love that" she stepped back and let Rachel fully enter the apartment. "Here I would like to meet some friends of mine, this is Joey, Pheobe, and you might remember Chandler" she said pointing to each one as there name was called.
"Chandler.you mean the guy who's toe you cut off back in high school" she whispered as she began to laugh. Monica just nodded and motioned to drop it. Joey approached Rachel rather quickly once he leapt up from the couch. He extended his hand and in a really deep voice spoke.
"How You Doin?" and smiled a rather steamy smile. Rachel just looked at him at a loss, she finally smiled back and simply stated. "I'm fine" Now Pheobe came up to her and looked her up and down. She smiled brightly and said "Hey its so nice to meet a fellow singer" Rachel smiled back brightly and answered "You sing, professionally?"
"Well yeah she tours the Coffee house every Wednesday afternoon!" Chandler cut in sarcastically. Then he looked at Rachel and smiled. "It's good to see you again Rachel and I know Monica is really happy you're here."
Over ther next half hour Joey and Pheobe bombarded Rachel with questions. Monica looked on with a real sympathetic look. She knew Rachel was hoping to get away from all the fame at least for today, and no matter what her or Chandler could do there was absolutely no stopping Pheobe and Joey. Chandler eventually called over joey to help set out the food. Chandler could not remember the last time he had heard Joey spout out so many pick up lines. Pheobe was about to get her guitar and teach Rachel one of "her" songs when Monica announced that Thanksgiving was served. They all took there seats and were just about to say Grace when there was a knock at the door. They all looked around confused at who could be interrupting their meal. "I'll get it." Monica simply stated.
Monica slowly opened her door, she was clearly angered for the unexpected company on Thanksgiving. All that anger drifted away when she saw who stood there.
"Hey Monica, sorry I haven't called.or visited, you know how Hollywood can be." Ross sheepishly smiled at his baby sister anticipating the worse. Monica was in shock, she was awaken from her shock when she heard Chandler's voice from the table speak "Hey Mon, who's here?"
"IS THAT REALLY YOU!" Monica screamed as she pulled her brother Ross into her apartment. Chandler looked up, he could not believe it. He sprinted from his chair and joined the hug. That's when Ross finally extracted himself from two of the most important people in his life's hug. He dropped his duffel bag and peered down speaking softly "I am so sorry its been so long, I have no excuses just remorse."
"It doesn't matter, I am just so glad to see you again." Monica said sharply. She once again had tears streaming down her face.
"I may not have had good-luck with Thanksgivings, but this one is a GOOD one!" Chandler also said. Ross looked up, around the room, his eyes focused on one person in particular. His high school crush. Wow was that really Rachel Green he thought. It couldn't be it, oh well he thought some more, I'm sure I'll find out in a little bit.
"I was just wondering if I could join your for Thanksgiving. I wanted to see you Monica, before I even decided to face Mom or Dad." Monica smiled brightly at him. She turned to Chandler "Would you set another plate honey?" Chandler nodded his had approvingly and just went to get another place setting.
Rachel glanced up at the commotion. Oh my god she thought, that's Ross Geller.the actor? Oh my god Ross Geller the actor is also Ross Geller, Monica's geeky older brother from high school?
After Chandler set the other setting, he once again hurried over to Ross, "Man have I missed you, it is so good to see you Ross." Chandler again embraced Ross in a hug. Ross not let out a bigger sigh and pushed Chandler back.
"Hey man, I've missed you to, but you still come off Gay, just like college." Ross cracked a huge grin, and Chandler did in return. Monica took Ross by the arm and began to make introductions.
"This is Joey and Pheobe" Monica said while pointing to them. "They live across the hall."
Pheobe cut Monica off, and abruptly said "But we are NOT a couple, I used to be Monica's room mate and Chandler was Joey's, when they got engaged."
Now Ross was shocked, Chandler and Monica slowly winced. "Your engaged!" he screamed out. "To Him!" he said while pointing at Chandler. Monica and Chandler nodded unwillingly. Now it was Ross's turn to embrace the both of them. "Wow this is so great! My little sister.and the best friend I have ever had! Your gonna be married. That is great!"
"HEY" Joey screamed at once, all the others turned to look at him. "When do we eat? The foods ready, and we've been waiting for HOURS!" Joey exclaimed desperately.
"We can eat in a second, and Ross, you remember my friend Rachel from high school right?" Monica asked while gesturing to Rachel who was still seated at the table. He smiled shyly and said.
"Yeah, I thought I recognized her, your also the singer right.I've seen you at some Hollywood parties." Ross said walking over to Rachel and taking her hand.
"You have? Well how come you've never said Hi, I mean I've seen you also, but I didn't realize that you could be." Rachel trailed off unsure how to finish this sentence, Ross finished if for her.
"That I could be Monica's geeky older brother?" with that both Ross and Rachel let out a small laugh. "I don't know why I never said hi, I really try to avoid those," Ross gave her a small smile.
"Well enough about that, now that we all know each other, lets eat!" Chandler said noticing Joey's starvingly desperate look.
The meal went by, and Phoebe asked Rachel all sorts of question about the music industry, while Joey gave a huge rundown on his career as an actor, always looking for any pointers Ross may be able to give him. Chandler and Monica berated Ross with question about his life, and Chandler and Ross talked about old times in College. Monica reminisced about their High School years, Ross even through in some memories here and there about that. Monica filled Ross in on what was new with there family. Eventually the meal ended and the conversation moved to the couch. Ross and Rachel eventually got to talking about there lives while Monica and Chandler cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes listening from the kitchen, while Joey and Phoebe just stared at them intently, not believing who they just celebrated Thanksgiving with.
"I cannot believe you hate Jennifer Lopez, she is a blast to hang out with." Rachel said laughing out loud.
"hey, I had to star in a movie with her, I found her to be an absolute bore, but a damn good kisser." Ross replied laughing.
"Niiice" Joey let slip in.
"Anyways, I'm tired and should probably head back to the hotel." Ross let out a tired sigh as he got up.
Rachel glanced down at her watch and realized how tired she was. "I should be going too. It is getting pretty late. Mon, I'll call you tomorrow, and it was nice to meet everyone." She stated while getting up off the couch.
"Hey Rach, do you want to share a cab? I'm staying at the Plaza, where are you staying?" Ross asked nonchalantly.
"I'm staying at the plaza also, we might as well share a cab" she said with a small smile.
With that they finished saying their good-byes. Ross promised to call both Chandler and Monica tomorrow. Ross and Rachel exited the apartment and caught a cab.
"So it was nice to see you again Rach." Ross said to Rachel in the back of the cab. She turned and smiled to him. "So what made you decide to spend Thanksgiving with Mon? Have you kept in touch with her?"
"Well, Kinda, I try to call her once a week but sometimes I get busy. The last time I actually saw her was like two years ago, I felt so bad" Rachel said while looking down.
"Hey no reason to feel bad in front of me, its been five years since I have talked to them. I feel horrible, a year after college and I left, didn't even give them a reason." Now Ross said looking down. "I just came back now, I wanted to spend Thanksgiving with my sister.Holidays are always the loneliest time for me." Ross trailed off.
"Me too." Rachel stated softly. "I just broke up with my boyfriend, I felt horrible, I didn't love him, I just never knew how to tell him"
Ross took Rachel's hand, she looked up at him, he had a soft look in his eyes. He started speaking very heartfelt. "Hey, don't feel bad, you did what you had to do, its better this way, He's unhappy yeah. But think about it, if you guys would a got married one day because you didn't want to break his heart wouldn't you just be breaking yours?" Rachel felt a small relief come to her. For the first time in weeks she didn't feel absolutely horrible about what she did to Barry.
"Thanks, no one has ever been able to put me in perspective like that." She said with a more brightening smile.
"Ya know, I never told you this, but in High School, I had a major crush on you." Ross said slightly embarrassed. Rachel smiled a bit and looked at him even more.
"I knew" she said softly.
"Oh, so I wasn't just Monica's geeky older brother, but I was Monica's Geeky older brother who had a major crush on you? Huh?" He said even more embarrassed then he did before.
"Yeah, but I also thought you were sweet," she said looking him into the eyes. They shared an intense gaze, they both wondered the same thing as they looked into each other's souls. Could this be the first Thanksgiving, I have Something to be thankful for.
"Ok, here's your stop!" the Cab driver interrupted from the driver's seat.
Their moment was broken, but that last thought both lingered in their minds.
