Probably won't update for another week or so. Exams coming up. But I'll post asap. And I'll write chapters while the teachers're blabbing about revision and what-nots. mwah.
I tried putting her vision in italics but the new ff.net quick edit/preview thing is an absolute nuisance. It's actually more of crap. So uh, sorry if the formatting looks a little conky. points ff.net's fault!!!
Uh, yeah, hang on, forgot to say: London happened, Chandler and Monica didn't. Got it? So Ross has moved into his apartment. okay? okay.
hmmmmm...pigs fly.
Disclaimer: they've finished filming. can't I steal them yet?

Monica smelled the lobster cooking on the stove and grinned. "Perfect! Ha-cha-cha!" she whispered, pulling out the spoon from the pot. "Mandy, the lobster's done!" she called.
The auburn-haired woman hurried over. She took the lobster quickly and lay it on the plate. "Smells good, Mon," Mandy remarked.
"Added some herbal leaves," Monica said with a nod of acknowledgement. "Pheebs said it'd taste and smell amazing."
"Well, I don't know about the taste but it sure as hell smells amazing," Timothy, another waiter in the restaurant, laughed.
"Yeah I know," the brunette giggled as well, "When it comes to cooking, everything I cook is amazing."
"Wow, you're so modest," Mandy said sarcastically.
"Yeah - " Monica stopped short. She stumbled backwards slightly and shut her eyes.

I walk towards Chandler and Joey's apartment, reaching out for the doorknob. I twist it as the door opens slowly. I peek in quietly. Rachel is standing in the living room, facing the door, with someone else. That someone else looks like a man. A very familiar man. I frown as I try to think.
Giving up, I open my mouth to say something but then Rachel whispers, "Why not?"
He shakes his head and moves back a couple of steps. She advances those steps and holds his hand. "Please?"
She doesn't wait for an answer. She leans forward, and their lips meet.
---
Monica opened her eyes and grinned. 'She's gonna have a someone!' she thought.
Tim and Mandy exchanged glances, confused. "Are you okay? Why're you grinning?" Mandy asked.
"I feel like it," she replied. She then frowned. "Get back to work!! Chop chop!"
"Okay, okay, geeeez," Tim muttered good-naturedly as he went back to his job of preparing salad.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
"Hey, Mon," Rachel greeted cheerfully, plopping herself onto the couch.
"Hi," Monica replied. She set the remote down on the coffee table and turned to look over at her friend. "You look happy today," she observed.
"That's because I am," she said perkily.
"Oh-kay. Any reason?"
"Noooo...you sound nosey today."
"Oh, thanks a lot," Monica said with a laugh.
"No problem."
There was a very short pause which Monica ended. "You got your eye on anyone?" she questioned cheekily, trying to get her to say something about who she had been with in her vision.
Rachel tilted her head to one side as she thought it over. Monica waited expectantly. "Nope!"
"Are you sure?"
"Uhhhh...yeah."
"Okay." She got up and went over to her room. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"
The elfin brunette rolled her eyes. "Duh. What - " Monica slammed the door, leaving Rachel's question unfinished.
"She's acting weirder than usual," she commented aloud. "And I'm talking to myself." She shook her head and went into her room.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
Phoebe blew frustratedly at her long fringes of hair that kept flying into her face. "Irritating," she muttered.
"What is?" Ross questioned, entering Phoebe's apartment.
"My hair," she said, turning around. She switched off the television set. "What're you doing here?"
"A 'hello' would be nice, but y'know..."
"You were supposed to say it first; you started the conversation."
"Yeah, fine. Hi."
"Hi," Phoebe giggled. "Now would you mind telling me what you're doing here?"
"It's boring being alone in my apartment, and Monica, Rachel, Joey and Chandler're all out." He frowned when he paused. "You think they're doing something without us?"
"Nah. They know we can be tough," Phoebe said.
Ross stared at her. To humour her, he nodded. "Yeah." Pause. "Hey, you noticed anything weird about Monica lately?"
Phoebe stifled a laugh. She shook her head, biting her lip. "Nooooo."
"Uh-huh." Ross shrugged. "Okay, I'm gonna go."
"You just came!"
"Yeah, and I'm going. I've got a report to do for work and I completely forgot about it."
Phoebe nodded. "Kay."
"Bye," he smiled widely.
"Bye." She waved. She loved those moments with Ross. The fights they'd had about small, insignificant things had decreased over the years as they found themselves turning to each other for relief from their problems and just chat light-heartedly.
Ross rushed back in quite a few seconds. "Forgot my keys," he explained, giving Phoebe a kiss on her cheek. He left again.
Phoebe lightly pressed her palm against her cheek, pulled it back and studied it subconsciously.
Yep. She really loved them.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
"Had any visions lately?"
Monica pulled on her sneakers and began to tie her shoelaces. She looked up mid-way and shook her head. "Not really. Saw Rachel hooking up with some guy that I just know I've seen before. And I saw Ross looking depressed and stuff from his apartment. He must've seen Rachel and that guy or something."
Phoebe nodded in understanding. "Yep. Must've," she answered shortly. She watched as Monica finally got up.
"Anything else?" Monica asked as she looked around.
"Nope. We've got everything."
"Kay, let's go joggin'!!"
They walked out of the apartment and hurried downstairs to get to the park.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
"Oh my God!!" Monica said as Phoebe finished her joke. "She actually said that?!!?"
"Yeah!!!"
They laughed as they came to a stop in front of the coffeehouse. "I'm gonna go take a shower. See ya later," Monica said, waving to the blonde as she went up to her apartment.
She leaned against the door from the outside, catching her breath. 'Note to self: Shouldn't've run up like that,' she thought. She opened the door a few minutes later and saw Rachel standing inside with someone else.
'The vision!' she reminded herself excitedly. She kept quiet as the things she had seen happened again. Finally they kissed, and Monica let out an involuntary coo. They both turned.
"Chandler?" she gasped, her face turning pale. Rachel's eyes widened and Chandler looked at his friend blankly.
"Um, th - this isn't what it looks l - " Rachel began.
Monica let out a deep shaky breath. She either didn't hear Rachel's sentence or chose to ignore it, because she kept quiet. 'Say something, say something,' she thought. She finally did.
"I'm gonna g-go. Get some coffee. I think I jogged t-too much. Dehydration and all," she rambled. She turned around and went down the stairs.
She never made it down to the coffeehouse.
Funny. A careless driver makes all the difference between getting somewhere, and not.

xSxAxRxAx, Andy, Francy, Llew, Jonathan and Gwen - since I have absolutely nothing better to do...I'm updating soon. =) thanks for your reviews.
mugglewolf - I was actually wondering if anyone was going to say something about this. I know it's horrible. I was just making it up because I can't help noticing - isn't it weird for everyone in gang [Ross excluded] to have a 'nickname' [Rache, Pheebs, Mon, Joe/Joey] except Chandler? yeah, anyway, any suggestions for another nickname welcomed. Cee is crappy enough. =P continue reviewing.
Anoli - thanks for reviewing - you're one of my fave authors, too. I loved 'Looking For', it's so sweet. and I only took five-ten minutes to read it.
on the whole, thanks to all of you guys. you rock. this is the first time I hauled ten reviews from my first chapter [I know, pathetic, huh? but well everyone starts out small ;)]. keep reviewing - it really makes my day!
