Well people who read the first chapter seemed to like it. YAY lol. You don't know how encouraging that is to me. To come back and be a little out of experience and still have people like my writing… Thank you. Please review this chapter too, I hope you like it. I'm really anxious to post the rest now. :) Oh but sorry I couldn't update this sooner but during this pre-last week of school we have projects and tests every SINGLE day so I really didn't have time. At least it's over next Thursday! So, from where I left off:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Um, my name is Monica. It's nice to meet you." She said, still smiling at Chandler, and he was starting to get uncomfortable under her stare.

"You too. Ross always talks about how great his sister is." Chandler just outright lied. She stared at him in disbelief and accusation. "Ok, fine, he talks about you." He tried again, but Monica kept glaring at him. "Oh come on! Ok, so he talks about Rachel and mentions you once in a while. There." Monica laughed at how uncomfortable he looked. "I swear, you could read minds, can't you?" He said after calming down a bit. Monica almost sent out a vibe that told him he can be just himself and didn't have to feel so uncomfortable.

"Yes, of course I can." Monica said in a mock important voice, "Right now you are thinking of um… The chicken over on that table" She smirked as she saw him staring at the chicken.

"Well…" Chandler turned light red, "We haven't eaten since we left, and that was a while ago, so we're kind of hungry"

"You don't have to explain. Speaking of we, where is Ross anyway?" Monica wondered.

"Uh I didn't notice where he went…" Chandler said, looking around.

Ross came in from the kitchen. "Oh, you finally noticed I was gone." He said with a touch of sarcasm in his voice, "I thought you guys were in a coma or something, staring at each other like that." Both Monica and Chandler blushed at that, "And, Mon, I'm glad to see you're pleased to have me back too." He said with more sarcasm now.

"Oh I'm sorry, I love to have you back, and you know that!" She hugged him to prove it.

"I know, I know. I was just kidding." Ross said, then blushed slightly and tried to sound casual, " So, uh, is Rachel gonna come here anytime soon?"

"Smooth, man." Chandler whispered sarcastically to him, while Ross blushed even more.

Monica stared at him in amusement, "Straight to the point, right?" She chuckled at her nervous brother. He's had a huge crush on Rachel since, well just about ever since they've been friends, and he could never tell her, "Actually she wasn't planning to come over today," she said and Ross's face fell, "but it's a special occasion so I'm gonna call her." She added to make her brother feel better.

"Yeah, you know, whatever." He tried to sound nonchalant again, failing miserably. Chandler cracked up at his roommate's awkwardness. He knew ALL about Rachel, or everything that Ross knew. There wasn't one day when Ross didn't say something about her.

Monica left and dialed Rachel's number. She hoped not to wake her friend, since it was only about 9 and, well, who is up at 9 AM on a Saturday?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The sharp ringing of the phone broke through Rachel's thoughts. She quickly grabbed the phone, thankful to have something to distract her from her thoughts right then.

"Hello?" She said cheerfully into the phone.

"Hey Rach"

"Oh, hey Mon, what's up?"

"Uh well Ross and his roommate Chandler came from college and, well, they really want to meet you, so you wanna come over right now?" Monica got straight to her point.

"Uh sure, got nothing to do anyway. Oh, I didn't tell you, my parents are gonna be gone for two weeks starting today!"

"Oh my god, really? That's great!"

"Yeah, it really is." Rachel sighed. She couldn't believe her luck when she was able to talk her parents into going without her. They had to leave on a business trip and she was going to be left all alone in their huge house. This was gonna be fun!

"Ok, well get over here ASAP, I have a lot to talk to you about." Monica rushed her.

"Ok, I'll be over in 10 minutes."

"Hey, what are you doing up so early anyway?"

"Fantasizing about all the things we could do while my parents are gone!" Rachel giggled into the phone, "Well, actually I turned on my alarm yesterday by reflex and I couldn't fall back asleep…"

"Oh ok, well just get over here."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Not too long later, Rachel knocked on Monica's front door. Ross answered and invited her in. Chandler was inside, talking to Monica and he turned around as Ross and Rachel went in. Right then, Rachel and Chandler's eyes locked and for just a bit they couldn't seem to turn away.

"Uh, Chandler, this is Rachel. Rachel, Chandler." Ross introduced them, trying unsuccessfully to get either of them to look up.

Finally, Rachel smiled, stepped closer to him and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Chandler. That's a very unique name."

"Yeah that's what everyone says, but I'd just like to remind you that I didn't name myself and my parents are very weird people!" Chandler said in defense.

"No, I like it." Rachel smiled at him again as he looked at her in surprise. "It's good unique."

"Rach, I gotta talk to you for a sec." Monica sounded impatient as she talked to Rachel.

"Oh yeah, sure." Rachel said unfazed and they went up to Monica's room. "Wow, that Chandler sure is something. I mean, he needs a haircut, but otherwise…"

"Yeah I know…" Monica said sadly.

"So do you think he'd go out with me?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Wow, so that's Rachel…" Chandler said.

"Yeah…" Ross sighed dreamily, "She's amazing."

"I bet she is." Chandler said quietly, and Ross didn't notice the dreamy look in his eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Wanna play Truth or Dare?" Rachel suddenly jumped up excitedly. The four had been thinking of something to do for quite some time now and were all pretty bored.

"Uh I don't know…" Truth or Dare was never a good game for Monica, and now in presence of Chandler…

"No come on, we gotta! I love Truth or Dare!" Chandler begged Mon, making puppy eyes at her.

"Um ok, fine." Monica gave in.

"Great! I go first!" Ross called out, "Uh, Rach, truth or dare?"

"Hmm, dare." She answered.

"Ok…" Ross sounded a little disappointed, "I dare you to… get a temporary tattoo."

"I think I have one of a rose somewhere!" Monica called out and ran to search for it, soon coming back triumphantly with the tattoo in her hands.

"Ross, can you help me out here?" Rachel asked innocently.

"Um, o-ok…" Ross stuttered, blushing. "Wh-where do you want it?"

Rachel looked from her shoulders to her stomach, "Right there", she pointed to her hip.

Ross blushed even more but applied the temp tattoo on Rachel's hip. They showed it to Mon and Chandler and agreed that it looked really good.

"Maybe I'll get a real one there someday then." Rachel smiled at Ross, "Ok, my turn, Mon, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Who do you have a crush on?" Rachel asked smirking at her.

"Uh I changed my mind." Monica said quickly, "I choose dare."

"Ok, I dare you to tell me who you like." Rachel laughed.

"Ch—Chase. A guy in our school named Chase…" Monica lied.

Rachel looked at her weirdly but believed her.

"Ross?" Monica turned to her victim.

"Truth." Ross replied bravely.

"Do you like Rachel?" Monica got to the point while Rachel stared at her in surprise.

"Umm" Ross blushed, "Yeah" He whispered really quickly.

"Oh my god, really?" Rachel looked at him, honestly shocked. It was her turn to blush when thoughts about how good he looked crept into her head.

"Yeah so Chandler?" Ross changed the subject.

"Uh dare. I'm not taking any chances."

"Hmm, I dare you to sing "My Girl" to those girls outside there." Ross laughed.

"Oh come on… Fine ok." Chandler got himself together, went out to the four girls that were chatting close to the Geller's home, and started singing. The girls stared at him strangely and when he wouldn't stop, walked away.

When Chandler came back, Ross, Monica and Rachel were all barely breathing from laughing so much. Chandler didn't sing really well.

"Ok, ok, very funny. Let's just keep going." Chandler said annoyed.

They played the game for a while more but then they were all so tired that everyone went to sleep. Well, went to their rooms anyway.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Chandler couldn't sleep. He lay on the couch, not even trying to get comfortable, thinking about a certain person. The person he'd just met today. The person he had no right to think about, and the person he knew his best friend has liked since about forever. Rachel.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well yeah, that's it. I actually think it sucks, but it's still one of those boring introductory chapters and stuff you know? It'll get better. Once again, sorry for the long time it took me to update. I was going to update like two days after the first chapter but I never had time… This week it will be better though, I promise. So, please review, tell me if you like it. I hope you like it.
