It is now 9:30. Joey and Rachel have been watching 'Scream' for a while now. Rachel has since cuddled up to Joey on the La-Z-Boy. She sat in his lap, curled up in a ball, looking away from the TV.
"I don't know why you wanna watch this movie." Rachel said, hiding in Joey's chest.
"You're the one who wanted to watch this. You're the one that said 'how about...Scream?'"Joey said, as if imitating Rachel.
"Well, wouldn't you know that I would get scared and hide?"
"But you know that I'll protect you from all that." Joey said, smiling and caressing her hair.
Rachel felt her legs go numb. She felt so giddy and tingly all over. She saw the light from the TV reflect off of Joey's face. She felt so secure in Joey's arms. She knew that he would never hurt her.
"I can't feel my legs." Rachel said, after being curled up for so long. She stood up and shook her legs out. She tried to do so without looking to ridiculous. Unfortunately, Joey started to laugh.
"What is so funny?" Rachel said, stopping the shaking and putting her hands on her hip.
"You look weird when you do that."
"Well, any person would look weird while they shake out their legs."
"Well, if it makes you feel less embrassed, you look sexy when you do that."
Rachel got all wide eyed and overjoyed. "Really?"
"No." Joey started laughing again, he turned off the movie and turned on the lights, as they have been sidetracked.
"Well, there is alot more that can impress a woman, besides being called sexy."
"What is there?"
"Well, a woman likes it when you comment on her fashion sense."
"I do that all the time. 'Hey Rach, those pants make your ass look hot.'''
"I know they do. A woman also likes it when you bring home some of her favorite things."
"I bring home some dirty romance novels from the set of DOOL. You know they practically have a room full of them?"
"All of the ones you picked out are good ones too."
"I know. Read 'em myself." Joey replied, taking a seat on the couch. "Well, what else does a woman love?"
"Well.." Rachel said, taking a seat next to Joey on the couch. "A woman likes...to have her face caressed and her hair touched. And be kissed ever so lightly. And then she...puts her hands through his hair," Rachel puts her hand through Joey's hair. "And then she stares at him. And as she stares into his eyes, she knows that he will never leave, and that...no matter what,...he will always be there for her. And...this place...is the only place..that he wants to be" Rachel said, staring into his eyes.
"Wow..." Rachel thought she had him. "I should keep that in mind." Joey said, standing up to turn the movie back on. Rachel sighed, standing up and throwing her head back.
"Rach? Wanna finish watching the movie?"
"Sure."
Rachel sat on Joey's lap again. Curling up in a ball as the next scary part comes on.
"Isn't it a crime to name your child Gaylord Focker?" Elaine said, after seeing "Meet The Parents" with Ross.
"I know! Just being Gaylord is a crime." Ross said, laughing. He hasn't had this much fun in a while. He has been working hard and not thinking about his personal life. "Hey Elaine. I had a great time tonight."
"You know? Me too." Elaine said, with a smile on her face.
Ross and Elaine walked hand in hand, and they both reached the main entrance to Elaine's apartment complex
"Well, I guess this is it. I mean, I'll see you tommorow and all." Ross said.
"Yeah." Elaine said. Ross leaned down and kissed Elaine softly on her lips. She returned the kiss in the same manner. "I'll see you tommorow." Elaine said, opening the door to the main lobby.
"You too." Ross said, still happy from the entire date. He decided to whistle and skip the entire way home.
"Okay, spirits. Come to Phoebe." Phoebe said, touching a glass ball on a table in her new psychic place. She couldn't afford her own place, but shared it with her own psychic. "OW! Son of a bitch!" Phoebe yelled after receiving a spirit that was tough. Suddenly, Phoebe felt a jolt from a spirit. "Oh. This feels weird."
Joey saw Rachel in his lap. She was curled up in a ball and fast asleep. He picked her up and carried her into her bedroom. He placed her on the bed gently and undid the covers. 'God she looks beautiful.' Joey thought. She had always stuck by him. She would never betray him. He wish he had a girlfriend just like her. He couldn't have her.
"Oh yeah. Don't stop." Rachel said, as she was dreaming.
With that, Joey bolted out of the room.
Music was playing in the background and the bride and groom were ready.
"And now it's time to cut the cake." The DJ said, as the four-tiered wedding cake was wheeled out in front of everyone.
Rachel laughed as she cut the cake and fed it to Joey. They both smiled as he got some frosting on his nose.
Joey then cut the cake and was about to feed it to Rachel when...little Ross heads appeared in the middle of the cake. "I can't believe you Rachel! Why would you do this to me! Eat me Rachel!" Rachel screamed and then....
Rachel woke up from her dream. Rachel woke up in a cold sweat. It truly was one of the most bizarre dreams of her life. Eating Ross as a cake? Was this a sign that a relationship with Joey wouldn't happen? It was now 9:00 am. She had to meet Monica and Chandler at Central Perk to do more wedding stuff.
"This psychic stuff was harder than I thought. I mean, usually I don't care about peoples feelings,but now its my job." Phoebe said, talking to Chandler, Monica, and Joey. "I mean, right now, spirits are dancing all around us, and I have the power to change their lives in the spiritual world."
"Can you change my life in the real world and give me more money towards our wedding?" Chandler said, before taking a sip of his coffee.
Rachel walked into Central Perk.
"Hey Rach? Are you ready to do some more wedding stuff today?" Monica said, turning around to talk to Rachel over the couch.
"Yeah! Can't wait." Rachel said, putting a smile on our face.
"Oh, Monica. I asked Joey to come so that there is some more men involved. And so I feel less overpowered by you." Chandler said.
"Way to go, man." Joey said, rolling his eyes.
"Okay. Since we're all here. Lets head on out!" Monica said, with extreme excitement. All five of then left Central Perk. Monica drove her Honda with Chandler in the passenger seat. Rachel, Joey, and Phoebe in the back.
"Okay. Today we get to go cake shopping." Monica said, as they were driving along.
"Wait. We're going cake shopping?" Rachel said, with a little shakiness in her voice.
"Yeah. I told you last week that we'd be going cake shopping. Plus, I know you love cake and who wouldn't want it when its that time again." Monica said, nonchalantly
"Monica! No one needs to know that!" Rachel said,all embrassed.
"Rach, I think everyone knows when you get your--"
"Do we really need to have this conversation before we eat cake?" Chandler said.
"Well, Rach was getting all embrassed over something that we all knew about."
"I don't care if she's bleeding out her ass, it's gross to discuss before we eat."
As the argument continued, Rachel sunk in her seat, looking out the window.
"...and that is how I named Tyrannosaurus Rex.'' Ross said, finishing up his class. As the class was dismissed, Elaine came walking in.
"Hello." Elaine said, carrying her bag over her shoulder.
"Hey." Ross said, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I had a great time last night. You think you wanna go out again tonight?" Elaine asked.
"I'd love to. How about we have a nice evening at my place?" Ross asked
"I think that would be great. I wanna see where my favorite paleontologist lives." Elaine said, rubibng Ross' arm.
"I'll pick you up around 8?" Ross asked.
"Sure." Elaine gave Ross a quick kiss on the lips. "I got a class to teach. Bye, Indiana Jones."
"Bye." Ross said.
"'Hello Indiana Jones.'" A male student said in a girly voice as he was walking.
"I know." Ross said, not knowing it was a student.
Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Rachel, and Joey all got out of the car and went into, Delicate's. The place was on a beautiful street with many stores lined up next to each other. The place had an old town feeling to it.
"Ok gang, get ready to eat cake galore." Monica said.
"This must be heaven to the fat girl inside you." Chandler said, rubbing Monica's shoulders and kissing her cheek.
The five of them proceeded inside, as the bell on the door jingled when they walked in. A woman came out from the back.
"Hello everyone. I'm guessing you're all here for the Monica-Chandler cake testing."
Everyone nodded in much excitement.
"Ok, well wait right here and I'll bring out the samples that Monica suggested." The woman said, making her way back to pick up the samples.
The woman came back with three plates, stacked about a foot high with samples. Everyone cringed at the sight of all the cake. There was strawberry,vanilla, chocolate, and everything in between.
"Well I've never had a hangover with cake before." Chandler said.
"Why are we all depressed? It's free cake." Joey said.
"Joey, I don't think even you can eat all that cake." Rachel said.
"If I can eat an entire fridge full of stuff, I can eat this."
"Well, I'm staying about fifty feet away from that crap. Besides, George doesn't like that stuff. It gives him gas." Phoebe said, in a very grandma voice. Everyone turned around to Phoebe. "Oh believe me. It's true."
"Ok, are we ready to try the first type of cake?" The woman said.
"Yeah." Everyone said in a nervous tone.
"Ok. Our first type is chocolate filling with a strawberry cake." The woman said, handing out a piece to everyone. Monica fed a piece to Chandler, Chandler fed a piece to Monica, Chandler fed a piece to Phoebe, Phoebe fed a piece to Joey, Joey was about to feed a piece to Rachel when Rachel stopped. She felt like her dream. But it was really more of a nightmare.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Rachel said, running off to the bathroom in the back.
Everyone was confused. Monica followed Rachel.
Rachel went into the bathroom and went into the stall. Monica came into the bathroom.
"Rachel? What's going on?" Monica asked, standing outside the stall door.
"Nothing. I just, didn't want any cake." Rachel said,lying.
"Rachel, please tell me what is going on. You have been acting weird these last few days. I mean you can tell me anything." Monica said.
Rachel came out from the stall. "Ok. For the past week or so, I have started to have feelings for someone."
"Is it Chandler? Cause you know you have no shot---"
"No! It's not Chandler!"
"Is it Ross? Cause you know he's dating--"
"No, Monica! It's Joey!"
Monica paused for a few seconds. "Joey?"
"Yeah." Rachel said,looking down.
"Joey? You mean our Joey?"
"Yes, Our Joey."
"Oh--oh--my god."
"Ok. Don't make such a big deal about it. I'm trying to suppress, but I think thats making it worse."
"You know that you can't really do anything cause, you know if you two date and break up, then things would be weird."
"I know. But what if things work out?"
"I don't know, Rachel." Monica said, she paused for a few seconds. "But why did you run in here before eating the cake?"
"Well...last night, I had a dream that....Joey was feeding me cake on our wedding day, and...in the middle of the cake was...little heads of... Ross."
"That sounds like a dream that I would've had at 14." Monica said. Rachel gave her a look, as she was going off topic. "I don't know what to tell you, Rach. Maybe its a sign."
"A sign?"
"Yeah. Like a sign that maybe something with Joey is a bad idea."
"Maybe your right. And don't tell anybody else, because I just feel like, I need to figure things out." Rachel said, leaning against the bathroom sink. "I mean, Joey is always so sweet to me. He says nothing but nice things about me. I just feel like...we could be something more."
"I guess. I promise not to tell anyone. But just promise me this...tell me that you will think about it before you do anything."
"I promise."
Rachel and Monica hugged. Phoebe comes walking into the bathroom.
"Why are we hugging?" Phoebe said.
Rachel and Monica broke apart.
"Uh, we were just um, happy to see you." Rachel said, offering Phoebe a hug.
"Oh yeah. I'm happy to see me too!" Phoebe said. All three of them hugged. "Ok, but this hugging is really not helping my bladder." All three released the hug.
Rachel and Monica left the bathroom, with a secret. **************************************************************************** ****** A/N: I know that was kind of a bizarre chapter and a longer one. And Phoebe will play and intregal rule in the next chapter. You'll see some real JnR action next chapter. And I'm sorry, I'm keeping Ross' thing short, but he'll have a bigger role later. Please read and review!
