OK, Chapter 6: Many thanks to everyone who's reading this and everyone who reviewed! Also: those darned Friends are still not mine!
Continued from right after Richard left:
(Ross and Rachel stare at each other in shock)
Ross – Oh my god!
Rachel – Mark and Chloe!?! Together!?!
Ross – Unbelievable… Oh, well, I guess they kind of deserve each other. I still can't stand either of them.
Rachel – You were sure able to stand Chloe six years ago!
Ross – Yeah, well, as I remember it, you were pretty buddy-buddy with Mark!
Rachel – Wow. We sure have issues with the whole forgive and forget thing, don't we?
Ross – Guess so. We better get going, we're already late. (They leave)
Scene: C&Ms apartment:
Monica – All right! (Slams four playing cards onto a pile on the table) That's my last four cards! I win again!
Chandler – Okay, everybody raise your hand if you're surprised.
Joey – Monica, this is the fifth game of Go Fish you've won. After the eleven games of poker and two games of hearts. Give us a break!
Monica – Come on! We said we'd keep going until Ross and Rachel got here.
Phoebe – Just be glad we're not playing for money.
Monica – GREAT idea Pheebs! Come on, everybody in!
Chandler, Phoebe and Joey – NO!
(Ross and Rachel walk in)
Chandler, Phoebe and Joey – Finally/ Took you long enough/ You're just in time!
Ross – Hey guys, sorry we're late. We had a little surprise visit from Richard.
Chandler – (Muttering) The big tree.
(Everyone looks at him)
Chandler – I'm allowed to hate him! He only tried to steal my girlfriend when I was PROPOSING to her!
Joey – That was your fault man. You led her off on all that "I'm never getting married" crap.
Chandler – Well, it was still a surprise when it finally got done!
Monica – Well yeah, if I hadn't done it you would have been too old to walk down the aisle.
Phoebe – Stop arguing! Anyway, how is Richard?
Rachel – Well, I know Chandler will be pleased to know that he's absolutely miserable about this new baby.
Chandler – Yeah he is! In his face! Unless… are you planning to leave me for Richard the second the baby's born!?!
Monica – (Laughing) No, he had his chance. I love you.
Chandler – (Grinning) I love you too.
Monica – Aww! And I would NEVER leave you for Richard. I can't wait to have this baby with you.
Ross and Rachel – Awww!
Joey – Yea! We got nice Monica back!
Phoebe – I like this one better, but the other one is more fun…
Chandler – If we're gonna go, we'd better leave.
Joey – Okay, just let me go to my apartment and get the keys.
Ross – (Suddenly) Uh, yeah, I'll come with you. Chandler, you want to come too?
Chandler – No, I think two people can manage to catch one set of keys. (Ross gives him a look) Oh, THOSE keys! No, you definitely need three people for those! (The guys leave)
Phoebe – So what do you think they're talking about?
Monica – Who knows? Did Ross say anything to you, Rach?
Rachel – No, but he has been acting kind of weird. But I don't blame him, be both had really weird dreams.
Monica – Like what?
Rachel – It was the craziest thing! I dreamed that all these guys I've dated in the past suddenly showed up at the door, all at once!
Phoebe – How weird! And yet, how cool!
Rachel – I know! And then I woke up, and Ross had dreamed the exact same thing about all the women he's ever dated.
Monica – Wow. That's really out there.
Phoebe – I'm sure it means something. If I could just figure it out…
Monica – So were you and Ross in each other's dreams?
Rachel – No, that's the weird part. Even though we dated for like a year, I wasn't in his and he wasn't in mine.
Phoebe – I'm telling you, it's symbolic! I just can't figure out what…
Rachel – Ross has been acting really weird since, and I don't know why. He looks like he keeps trying to figure something out, and he just can't.
Scene – Joey's apartment:
Ross – I'm telling you, it was the weirdest dream I've ever had! And they all kept telling me something, and insisting it was true, and I just can't remember…
Chandler – That is pretty weird.
Joey – Tell me about it! The only dream I've had lately is the old one where I'm the king of the Sandwich Islands. (Duck starts quacking) Yes, you were there, as always. (To Ross and Chandler) He gets worried.
Chandler - …Anyway. This probably means something, we just have to figure out what.
Ross – Okay.
Chandler – Now, did you feel particularly attached to any of them?
Ross – No, they hadn't exactly changed for the better.
Chandler – None of them? Not even Rachel?
Ross – No. Actually, Rachel wasn't even there.
Chandler – Wow. Now that's weird.
Ross – Tell me about it.
Joey – What were the women wearing?
Ross – What difference does that make?!?
Joey – Well, if they looked hot, you clearly still want them!
Ross – I do not!
Joey – Dude, by denying it, you're pretty much admitting it.
Ross – How does that work! No! I do not want them!
Chandler – That's enough! Do you want to figure out what the dream meant or not!
Ross – I honestly don't care. I just really want to know what they kept saying…
(AN: If it's not clear, they kept insisting that Ross was still in love with Rachel)
Chandler – So you can't remember anything about what they said?
Ross – No. All I remember is…
Joey – What?
Ross – I just remember thinking sometimes that maybe…maybe they were right.
Scene – The Restaurant (You pick one):
Rachel – So what kind of stuff did you get for the baby?
Chandler – Oh, it's great. We got a little crib with a matching changing table and a rocking chair, and we got a swing…
Monica - …A car seat, some bottles, some bibs…
Phoebe - …Stuffed animals and blankies…
Joey - …Hot salesclerk's phone number… (Everyone stares at him) Sorry.
Ross – Anyway, are you going to set the spare bedroom up into a nursery?
Monica – Yeah! We're going to paint it a nice pale green, so it'll work whether the baby's a boy or a girl, and the furniture is all white, and we're going to decorate it with the cutest little comforter with matching curtains, and it's going to look so great!
Rachel – That sounds wonderful! Let me know if you need any help.
Ross – Okay, have you decided on a name yet?
Monica – Yeah, we narrowed it down to Daniel, Matthew and Chase if it's a boy…
Chandler – And Rosie, Kim and Annie if it's a girl.
Rachel – Aww…
Phoebe – They didn't take my suggestions.
Ross – Well, what did you say?
Phoebe – Your basic strong kid names. Cougar, Lion, Buffalo, Shark and Chimpanzee to name a few… Oh! Maybe when Ross, Rachel and Joey have more kids they can do those names!
Rachel – Honey, I think you should save those names for your own kids.
Phoebe – Okay, but I'm gonna have to have like fifty kids to use them all up.
Monica – Wow, I love the band, aren't they great?
(Band finishes their song, and everyone claps)
Bandleader – Thank you! I hope you're all having a great evening. I just want to make a short announcement, then we'll go back to playing. At this large party over here…(He indicates a huge table full of people)…there are two people celebrating their recent engagement. I know they'll be very happy in the future, just like they're very happy now.
(The Friends smile at each other)
Bandleader – So I'd like everyone to raise their glasses to the happy couple…Mark Anthony and Chloe Valentine! (Everyone claps)
(The Friends look at each other in shock)
Joey – THE Mark and Chloe!?!
Ross – Oh yeah, there was one more thing that Richard mentioned…
Monica – What?
Rachel – That he was going to an engagement party for Mark and Chloe.
Phoebe – Oh my god!
Rachel – Well, we never thought it would be here!
Chandler – Wait. RICHARD is here? THE Richard?
(From across the room) – Monica!
Chandler – Oh, crap.
Richard – Monica! (Makes his way over) Monica! I had no idea you'd be here!
Monica – (Uncomfortable) Well, right back at you!
Richard – So… congratulations. Your father told me about the baby.
Monica – Oh, tha-
Chandler – Yes, thank you Richard, we're very happy, don't you think you should be getting back to your party now?
Richard – Oh no, it's fine, I really don't even know the couple that well-
(From across the room) – Dinosaur Guy?
Joey – Hey, it's Chloe!
Chloe – Hey guys! Wow, long time no see!
Everyone but Richard – Uh huh…
Chloe – Well, you all look like you're doing great! Especially you Ross, have you been working out?
Ross – Um…yes, I have…
Chloe – Well, keep it up! You look great! And you! You must be Rachel! Hi, I'm-
Rachel – Chloe. Yes, I know.
Chloe – Cool. You know, when Isaac told me you guys broke up, I almost felt responsible-
Rachel – Really! Now why would you have thought that!
(From across the room) – Rachel?
Chandler – Anyone else having fun?
Mark – Oh my god, Rachel! Wow, I haven't seen you in forever!
Ross – Yes yes, we know.
Mark – Oh, hey Ross. So, Rachel. How have you been? Still working at Bloomingdale's?
Rachel – Oh no, actually I transferred to Ralph Lauren.
Mark – That's great! I'm working in the Victoria's Secret store on 5th Avenue right now, that's where I met Chloe.
Monica – Yeah, congratulations by the way.
Phoebe, Joey and Chandler – Oh yes, congratulations!
Chloe – Thanks! Well, we'd better get going. It was great seeing you all again!
Rachel – Yeah, great!
Mark – Bye everyone, take care!
Ross – Oh yeah, you…you take care too Mark!
Richard – I'd better go too. Good-bye everyone.
Everyone – Bye Richard.
Richard – (Leaves with Mark and Chloe)
Chandler – Big tree.
All done! Yea! I will try to post the next chapter (which will probably be the last) soon. Thank you everyone for reading and reviewing! See you next time! (I wasn't sure about Mark and Chloe's last names, were they ever mentioned on the show? I don't think Chloe's was, but I thought Mark's might have been…I wasn't sure.)
