Chapter 23: TOW Friends Forever Pt: 3
The gang were all seated on or around the big orange couch at Central Perk. Monica sighed softly. "Do you guys realize this may be the last time we're all sitting here together" she said. Phoebe's eyes grew wide. 'Why what's happening to the coffee house" she asked. "No Pheebs she means because Joey's leaving for LA in a few days and Chandler and Mon are moving in a few days too" Ross said. "Ohh! Duh!" Phoebe giggled. Rachel glanced around the coffee shop "We sure spent alot of time here huh" she whispered. "It seems like it was just yesterday that I left Barry and ended up in here" she added.
*Flashback*
"I don't want to be single, okay? I just... I just- I just wanna be married again!" Ross whined. Rachel ran onto Central Perk wearing a wedding dress wet from the rain. "And I just want a million dollars!" Chandler said looking toward the door as if he expected a million dollars to appear. "Rachel !?" Monica asked. "Oh God Monica hi! I just went to your building and you weren't there and then this guy with a big hammer said you might be here and you are, you are!"
Monica smiled " Okay, everybody, this is Rachel, another Lincoln High survivor. Rachel this is everybody, this is Phoebe, and Joey, and- you remember Chandler and my brother Ross?" Rachel smiled and nodded "Hi, sure!"
(End Flashback)
Monica smiled "I'm glad you dumped Barry" she giggled "Me too" Rachel said hugging her bestfriend. "We've sure come along way since then" Ross said. "Oh yeah" Rachel said as she linked fingers with Ross. "I went from being a waitress to an executive job at Ralph Lauren, I'm married to Ross" she said happily "and I have a baby with another one on the way" she said placing her free hand on her tummy. Phoebe grinned "Yeah but you know which one of us has changed the most" she giggled. "Who Pheebs" Monica asked. "Chandler!" she giggled. "What no its Joey" Chandler protested. "He went from dating thousands of women to being in a committed relationship" he pointed out. "Yeah baby" Joey grinned.
Phoebe nodded "True but you my friend went from having a gay quality to marrying Monica plus you're alot less annoying now" she joked. "I never had a gay quality!" Chandler whined. They laughed. "Mon would you tell them there's nothing gay about me" he whined. "Eh" Monica joked. "But you told Rachel I was the best sex you ever had" Monica laughed. "Relax honey I'm just kidding you give me great loving" she said giving him a kiss. "I did not need to hear that" Ross stated. Monica sighed softly "It'll be weird not coming down here everyday" she said. "Yeah we sure shared alot of memories here" Rachel giggled. "Yeah like you telling Ross you loved him after I told you not to" Monica joked.
*Flashback*
"What 'cha readin'?" Rachel asked "The paper." Ross answered holding up a newspaper. " Yeah, what's it about?" Ross looked at her " Events from around the globe." Rachel was a little nervous. " Okay. Uhh, Ross, y'know what, there's something that I-that I have to talk to you about and everybody's saying that I shouldn't tell you, but I think they're wrong. I mean, and you know how people can be wrong." Ross nodded " Sure. Once, at work I-I thought carbon dating was fossilized." Rachel stopped him. " Okay, Ross, I'm really trying to tell you something here." she said. " Yeah." he replied. "Okay." she said. " Go ahead." Ross stated. "Umm, okay, I think I'm-I'm just gonna-just gonna say it. Just gonna say it. Uhh, I'm still in love with you Ross." Rachel blirted out. "Wow. Umm. Huh. I'm-I'm not sure what to do with that right now." he whispered "What? Was that a joke? 'Cause it's mean." Ross whined.
" I'm so dead serious. I'm totally serious." Rachel laughed. "Why are you laughing?" he asked. "Because (laughs), because, I just heard it. I heard it, and it's ridiculous! I mean, you're married. You're-you're married and it's just ridiculous, and it's like, it's like when said it, I sort of like, I floated up out of my body, y'know? And, and-and then I heard myself say it and then the floating Rachel (laughs) was like, "You are such an idiot!" she giggled." Well, well I am married. Even though I haven't spoken to my wife since the wedding." Ross said. "I'm sorry, that's not funny." Rachel giggled.
"Actually, it kinda is. My wife won't return my calls. I don't know where my wife is. "Hey Ross, where's the Mrs.?" Don't know!" Ross laughed. " Oh God, ohh, okay, y'know what, do you think ah, do you think that you just forget that I told you this?" she asked. " Well, I kinda half to. I mean, because the thing is." he stopped. " The thing is y'know, that you're married to Emily." She finished for him. " That is what the thing is." he said. " Ross, things aren't gonna be weird between us, right? I mean was that just the stupidest thing, me telling you that?" she asked. " No. No. No, I'm-I'm glad you did. Look, if nothing else, it's-it's always great when someone tells you they love you." he told her. "That's what I said! Thank you for being so nice." she said hugging him. "No thank you for. Thank you." Ross whispered.
*End Flashback*
I'm sure gonna miss this" Rachel sighed. "Hey you guys stop being so floopy we're still gonna be friends we're still gonna hang out" Phoebe said. She grinned "Ooh I'll sing a song" she giggled. She got up and went to her little stool and microphone. She put her guitar over her shoulder. The gang sat there excepting one of her usual weird songs. "Umm hi" Phoebe said into the microphone. " I'm not singing one of my original songs" she said. "Tonight I'm singing something a little different Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel, and Joey this is for you I love you guys" she said as she began to strum her guitar and sing.
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today and then if you can remember
Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for.
Once Phoebe sang the last words of the song she sat her guitar down and went back over to the big orange couch. Monica and Rachel were crying and so were Chandler, Joey and Ross even thought they tried to deny it. Phoebe felt her eyes fill with tears as she heard the chorus of "I love you Pheebs." "Aww you guys" she whimpered. "I love you too" she sniffled hugging her friends.
Chapter 24: TOW Friends Forever Pt: 24...More memories, more songs, more tears...Coming Soon!!
Authors note: Hello children here's the next part in my series finale. I changed one line from the series pilot. Rach was suppose to already have met Chandler but in the pilot she had just met him so I changed that little line. Heehee. The song Phoebe sang is called That's What Friends Are For. By: Dionne Warwick. I just thought it fit the gang! I have a feeling this series finale of mine may go on until chapter 25 maybe even 26! I just have so many ideas and I want to use them all! So look for more memories, more songs, more tears...Coming Soon!! Anyway please read and review! Thanx!
