Here's Chapter 6!
At the airport, they all gathered around Joey to wish him goodbye.
"Mon, now is your chance," Chandler said as he nudged her towards Joey.
"Chandler, I'm not ready, not now," Monica said.
"Well guys, you are coming next week, right?" Joey asked.
"Yes, Joey we already made our reservations," Rachel said.
Joey boarded the plane and with one last look, he vanished into the boarding gate. Everyone started to cry, realizing that they lost one of their best friends. Monica cried, silently, but inside her world was crumbling.
On the plane, Joey's mind jumped back to that little Monica incident. He suddenly realized that she thought the kiss meant something. No wonder she was so hurt.
Back from the airport, Rachel walked back into the apartment, and she glanced at the mail on the table. Hm, Joey Tribiani, Joey Tribiani, You could be a winner, Hey what's this? She thought.
The letter had no name on it, so she opened it and read it.
"Oh my gosh! MONICA!" she screamed.
"What, what?" Monica asked as she came running franticly across the hall.
"What is this?" Rachel asked as she held up the note.
"What is what?"
"This!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Que?"
"Stop, Stop, STOP! Monica, stop hiding the facts, you love Joey, and you just let him get away like that!" Rachel cried out.
"Rachel, please, I know what I'm doing. I'm, I'm, just taking my time. This is way to rushed and I just want to take it slow," Monica replied.
Monica sat down in Joey's chair and quickly got up again. Even the chair reminded her of Joey. She looked at Rachel and immediately started crying.
"Mon, it's ok," Rachel said.
She walked towards Monica and gave her a hug. They both cradled each other crying for their lost friend.
Meanwhile, Chandler and Ross were at Central Perk eating muffins and drinking coffee. For some reason, they weren't talking to each other. The silenced seemed more comforting.
"Hey, um Ross?"
"Yea, Chandler?"
"How would you feel if Monica and Joey ever got together?" Chandler asked.
"Well, I don't really know. It seems that Monica is really in love with him, but you know Joey's reputation," Ross answered.
"But, Ross, what If I ever fall in love with Monica?"
"Hm, I never thought about that. But, I don't think that could ever happen," Ross replied.
"Ahh, you right." They both carried on with their food, and that was that.
