Chandler had been sent to Hawaii for an important buisiness trip. Monica was sitting with the four other friends in her appartment watching the news. A "special report" came up and they saw that part of Hawaii had been blown up by 20 suicide bombers and they said that over 500 people were already presumed dead. Chandler was in Mauwi and Monica was praying to the gods that it was not one of the city's that was bombed. They were listing all of the cities that had been under attack and Monica's heart skipped a beat when Mauwi came up on the screen. They all just stared at the screen in complete awe. Monica broke down crying and leaned into Joey who was sitting right next to her crying along with her. The news coverage lasted for hours and they all stayed in that room all night long......watching and praying that Chandler was ok.

one year later

It had been one year since the attacks and none of them had heard from or seen Chandler so they all thought he was dead. Everybody was slowly moving on. Monica had moved on (not by her choice but by the choice of her friends) and had a steady relationship going with a guy named Toby. Which Joey disapproved of because he thought that Monica shouldn't be moving on just quite yet.

It was pooring out and Monica was out on a double date with Toby, Ross and Rachel. Pheobe was over at Joey's appartment with him. They were watching a movie when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Pheobe and Joey just looked each other and wondered who it could be if everybody else were out on dates and it was already 9:30 at night. Joey got up and walked over to the door and opened it and who he saw almost made him faint. Phoebe saw who it was and lept out of her chair and over to the door.

"OH MY GOD! CHANDLER!" Phoebe yelled as she wrapped her arms around him. He winced in pain and Phoebe let go and gave him an apolagetic look. Joey started to cry and hugged Chandler. Chandler was soaking wet and had a crutch under his left arm. He looked rather fit and had a very short hair- do. It looked like he haden't shaved at all in the past week. Water was dripping off of his hair and his clothes and Phoebe and Joey helped him into the appartment. Chandler sat down on the couch by the window as the questions began to flow.

"Where have you been for the past year?!" Phoebe said.

"What the hell happened to you?" Joey asked.

"Guys can I just explain it all later to all of you guys together so I don't have to answer 5 different sets of questions. I'm really tired i've been on a plain for 10 hours and I had to walk 15 blocks in the rain because my taxi driver didn't know how to get here. And it's been a really really long year and i just need to sleep." Chandler sighed.

"Ok you take as much time as you need. I still got your bed here and I haven't touched your room at all so be my guest." Joey said motioning toward the bed room.

"Thanks man. I really appreciate it. I haven't really had any friends in the past year......except for a big fat hawaiian guy...."Chandler trailed off. They let out a small laugh as Chandler clumzily made his way to his room. "I'll see you guys in the morning, you can tell the others i'm not dead if you want." Chandler said with a smile as he turned and shut his door. He changed into a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt and plopped down on the bed feeling dizzy.
