Charlie watched as a woman walked into the phone booth the calls Chandler had been receiving had been from, watching as she grinned giddily as she spoke before hanging up, looking around nervously as she walked out.

He grinned; it was Monica all right.

"So, you're still coming tomorrow, right?" Monica asked.

"Of course," he grinned on the other end of the phone.

"I'll see you then, then."

"Bye, Mon. Love you."

"I love you," she replied, unable to contain her grin. "Bye," she hung up the phone before walking away, looking nervously behind her. She'd had the feeling that she was being watched almost all day, but had tried to brush it off. Glancing behind her again, she started walking home, picking up the pace when she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being followed.

"I missed you so much," Chandler mumbled between kisses as Monica fumbled with the doorknob, finally getting it to unlock and open.

"Scream and I'll kill you slower."

They both froze, pulling away.

"Monica Geller," he grinned. "So we meet again," he held up his gun, pointing it directly at her. "Too bad I have to do this. You two make such a cute couple," he added before pulling the trigger.

Chandler jumped on top of him just as the shot went off, causing him to miss and hit the wall instead. "Son of a bitch, get off of me!"

Chandler wrestled him to the ground, eventually knocking the gun out of his hands. "Monica," he said, trying to hold him down. "Monica, the gun, get the gun."

Monica, who had been to shocked to move and was still glued to the same place on the floor she had been when she came in, finally snapped out of it, running over to where the two were on the floor, grabbing hold of the gun. Before she even had time to think, she was aiming, shooting…and then silence.

The gun dropped to the ground, breaking the deafening silence after the shock of what she had done, her hand flying up to her mouth, and she only prayed that her shot was good enough to have missed Chandler. She started shaking, falling to the floor in a fit of sobs.

"Mon…Monica," he repeated when she didn't answer the first time. "Mon, it's okay. Everything's okay now," he sat down beside her, pulling her into his arms. "Mon?" he repeated, and she finally looked up, seeing the bloodstain on his shirt, before looking up into his eyes. It wasn't his blood.

"I thought I lost you…I thought I lost you and it was all my fault…" she trailed off.

"Oh, Mon," he pulled her closer. "I love you so much."

"I love you, too," she whispered. "I want to go home…"

"I know, babe," he kissed her forehead. "But, first, we'd better call the police."

"Monica!" Rachel squealed, pulling her into a tight hug. "Oh my god, Monica…" she trailed off, trying not to cry.

"Mon, I can't believe it's really you," Joey hugged her next, picking her up, causing her to laugh.

The police had identified the body of the man shot as Charlie's, leading them to where Tommy was. (AN~okay, I'm sooooo stretching here cuz I wanna get this over, lol. Just…pretend like it could happen, kay?) And since neither was on the loose, they had release Monica to go home.

Monica pulled back from hugging Ross, the last person, still too in shock to say anything. She looked around the room of what had formerly been her apartment, surprised that it was still almost as clean as she had kept it.

"So," she smiled. "Is there still a room for me here?"

Chandler grinned, answering before Rachel had the chance to. "I think there's a room across the hall that has room for one more."

I am soooooo done with this, lol. I don't know why I wrote this, I'm bad with this kinda stuff. Wait, I wrote it for Abby and then she forgot that she had even asked me to. So blame her if this majorly sucked, lol. But anyway, please review and let me know what ya thought, thanks :)
