Monica's in her apartment doing her daughter's hair.

"Hey Monica Oh my gosh guess what!" Rachel said running into her apartment. "Hey sweetie!" Rachel bent over to kiss Dayna, Monica's daughter.

"Auntie Rachel!"

"What?" Monica was braiding her daughter's hair.

"I met this guy who I think you should go out with."

"What?"

"Yea he's really cute. He's funny, nice, rich. everything."

Monica laughed. "I think I'll pass Rach."

"What? Why? You want to go out with ugly, boring, poor guys?" Rachel sat on the couch.

"I don't think I'm ready to date."

"What? Monica. You've been divorced for like 2 years now. C'mon!"

"I have a daughter to take care of."

"Monica it's one night."

"Who's gonna watch Dayna?"

"I will. It'll be fun. I'll take her and Emma shopping." There was a long pause.

"Fine. I'll go."

"Cool. I already told him you'd go. It's tonight at 6."

"Rachel!"

"It's ok. You have 2 hours. Go change. A nice dress. Fancy restaurant. He'll pick you up. I'll finish Dayna's hair." Rachel walked over to Dayna and continued to braid her hair. Dayna was 4. She had long brown hair and blue eyes.

Monica got up. "I don't have anything to wear."

"Get in there!" Rachel pointed.

2 hours later..

There's a knock on the door.

"I'll get it!!" Rachel jumped up and ran to the door. "Hey Chandler!"

"Hey." He said with a smile.

"She'll be out in a minute. Come in."

Chandler walked in.

Monica came out of her room. "Hi."

"Hi." Chandler said with a huge smile on his face. "I"m Chandler." He held out his hand.

Monica made her way over to him. "I'm Monica."

"Wow. You are ... beautiful."

"Thanks." Monica blushed. She was wearing a light green strapless dress."You look good too,"

Chandler was wearing a nice burgundy dress shirt. "Thanks. Ready to go?"

"Yea." Monica looked at Rachel. And then looked around the apartment. "Where's Dayna?"

"Ross picked her up."

"Ok. Umm. D.." Monica started to say.

"Don't worry! GO!" Rachel pushed both of them out the door.

"I love this restaurant." Monica said as Chandler pulled out her chair. "Thank you."

"Me too. It's my favorite. So..."

"Tell me about yourself." Monica looked at the menu in front of her.

"Ok. Well, I'm in advertising. Umm.." He laughed. "That's pretty much it."

"Come on I know there's more then that."

"No the that's it. Tell me about you. I'll tell you more later. I want to get to you know."

"OK. I'm a chef. I have a daughter, who's name is Dayna."

"Your daughter's name is Dayna?"

"Yea."

Chandler laughed. "My daughter's name is Dayna."

"You have a daughter?" Monica looked at Chandler in surprise.

"Yea... well I had a daughter..." Chandler scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh.. What happened to her."

"She was umm."

"You don't have to tell me." Monica nodded.

"No I will.. umm she was kidnapped."

"Did you really have a daughter?"

"Yea. I did."

"Oh sorry."

"Yea. She wanted ice cream... and umm she didn't want to come with me. We were at the park and she didn't want to come with me. She held onto the swings and wouldn't let go. I thought she'd be ok.. but she just... she." Chandler bit his lip so he wouldn't cry. "Sorry. I came back with her ice cream and she was gone.. and i called the police and they couldn't find her."

"Oh I'm so sorry. How old was she?"

"2.. she would've been 4 now.. She was everything to me. She didn't act 2.. she was so mature. She talked so much. She was my best friend. She learned how to talk when she was 1 and half. It was amazing."

"Wow. I'm sorry you lost her."

"Yea. I named her Dayna after her mother who died while giving birth to her."

"Aww."

"yea. I miss her." He cleared his throat. "So why are you still single? You're beautiful and nice, and sweet"

"Haven't found the right guy. I was with my ex husband for like 8 years. Then we got divorced."

"Oh. if you don't mind why did you guys get a divorce?"

"He didn't want to have kids and i did. So we got divorced. And i adopted Dayna."

"You adopted her?"

"Yea."

"How old is she?"

"4 I love her so much. She's amazing. "

A waiter comes. "Ready to order?"

Monica and CHandler are in the car. Chandler's driving. It's a black BMW.

"I have to pick up Dayna she's at Rachel's." Monica told Chandler.

"Ok.I can't wait to meet her."

"You'll love her. It's right here. It's across the street from my place.

"Ok." Chandler parked the car where he parked when he picked up Monica. "Mind if we walk?"

"Nope." Monica smiled at him and got out. "It's freezing."

Chandler locked his car and walked to the trunk. He opened it and took out a coat. "Here."

"Thank you." Monica took it and put it on.

Chandler offered his arm.

And she took it. "Tonight was amazing."

"I know. I never thought i'd ever have another great date since my wife died."

"I never thought so either."

"This has been just a great night."

"Yea." Monica rested her head on Chandler's arm.

They were now walking up the stairs and they arrive in front of Ross and Rachel's apartment.

Monica knocks.

"Hey!" Rachel said opening the door and gesturing for them to come in.

"Mommy!!!!" Dayna got up and ran to her mommy.

"Hey sweetie!" Monica picked her up "How are you? Did you have fun?"

"Yea! Auntie Rachel bought me a pretty pink dress!"

"She did?"

"Yes i did." Rachel smiled and went to get the bag.

"Sweetie i want you to meet my friend. This is Chandler."

Dayna stared at him for a while. "Daddy?"

"Dayna..." Chandler's mouth dropped.
