Without Him- Ross Geller
Tony groaned in frustration. "It's going to be a long night…"
"Let me go then!" Chandler suggested irritated. "Let me enjoy my death in peace!"
"You think you'll enjoy death?" Tony gave him a weird look. "You're a strange man!"
"I'm strange?! This coming from someone who thinks its fun to point out that I could have a been so much happier in my life!"
"I only pointed out that you're in love Monica…" Tony replied, before grinning. "Oh, so now you're admitting that you are!"
"What?! No! I never said that…"
"You implied it though…" Tony kept smiling.
"Oh shut up and play the next one!" Chandler slumped back in his chair.
"Thought you wanted to go?" Tony said before Chandler sent him a death glare. "Alright, alright, I'm playing it…Geez…"
Ross Geller raised his hand to knock on the door he stood in front, glancing at the computer made sign that was taped to it.
"Meeting of Dinosaur Dudes…Passes needed."
"Oh hey, Ross…" A small skinny guy wearing think glasses called Bert opened the door. "Or should I say…The Ross-A-Tron!"
Ross laughed lightly, as he stepped into the apartment. "Is everyone here, yet?"
"Yeps, we're just about to get started…"
There was a small cheer when the rest of the member saw Ross arrive. He smiled happily; he was by far the coolest guy there. He was never popular or anything-in high school or college, but now he was. True, he belonged to a group of 8 people, who sat around playing with dinosaur figures, discussing evolution and wore hand made badges that had their 'dinosaur' name written on it. None of that matter though, because these were Ross' only friends and he was the cool one!
"Hey, I thought we go a bit crazy tonight…" Ross said pulling a pack of beer out a bag.
"Beer!?" The others cheered again, they didn't get out much.
Half an hour later, none of them were sober; two were even passed out on the floor.
Ross frowned at them, then looking back at the empty bottles, his own glaze a little blurred from the alcohol. He counted them up, concluding they had 2 or 3 bottles each, he groaned.
"What's up Rossy-Troney…?" Bert slurred, slinging one arm around his friends shoulder.
"We're such light-weights…" He moaned. "I mean, I wish I could have a few beers with some friends, without getting all emotional and waking up with a headache the next day…"
"I wish I wasn't a virgin.." Bert admitted, Ross shot him a weird look before being startled by the shouts of agreements from the others.
"You're all virgins?!" Ross giggled lightly; they were nearly 30 year olds."Aren't you?"
"No!"
"You've slept with a women?" Bert questioned, Ross nodded in reply causing his vision to blur again. "What's it like?"
"Is great!" Ross grinned goofily, happy about having something else to make him cooler.
"Oh wow…" One guy replied.
Silence took over the room, the alcohol making everyone sleepy. Ross sighed and thought back to his college days, not the best time in his life. His parents requested that he had his own dorm room so it could fully concentrate on his work, which he was happy about. For everyone else college was for the parties but to Ross it was the start of his life away from his parents and annoying younger sister.
That's where he met Carol, his first and only girlfriend. They dated for about 5 months before she ended and moved away; he often wondered what happened to her.
When he left college he got a job working at the museum and his Mom would drop by every chance she got to find out what was new in his life, which was never much and she also kept him update with what Monica was doing; again it wasn't much.
He rarely sees Monica now they've both left home, while he lived in an apartment that was near work and his parents' house; she lived alone in the apartment that use to belong to their grandmother. Only ever seeing each other during Thanksgiving and Christmas…
"Wow wow wow…. How did I have an effect Ross' relationship with Monica?!" Chandler took the remote off Tony pausing the screen.
"Maybe if you watched for more then 10 seconds you would find out!" Tony snatched the remote back.
"Wouldn't be quicker if you just told me?!" Chandler sighed.
"Okay fine! God, you're no fun!" Tony whined. "Okay, those two Thanksgivings were very important…. The first when you joined the Gellers, Monica had a crush on you…you wasn't there for her to develop that crush…"
"So?!"
"Shh, listen… anyway, Rachel's parents offered Monica to join them that following Thanksgiving but she knew you was coming back and wanted to show off about the weight she lost and Rachel didn't want to go alone with her family, which was why she was there too…"
"Let me guess, cos I never went to the first one; Monica and Rachel decided to go with Rachel's family?"
"Bingo!" Tony grinned. "Every Thanksgiving after that she went away with the Greens and Ross stayed with his parents…Monica then moved out and they saw even less of each other…"
"Except on holidays…" Chandler added quietly, deep in thoughts.
"Yeps! Now can we get back to the show?!" He asked, pressing 'play' when Chandler nodded. The screened faded into a small apartment with Ross and Judy Geller sat on the couch, talking….
"So, how's work?" Judy asked
"It's going good…"
"Oh, anyone nice young ladies there?" Judy interrupted, cutting him off.
"Ermm…well no…" Ross stuttered.
"Oh dear…" Judy sighed. "Well, I'm sure you can't help it…"
Ross just smiled at her quickly, before looking down. If he was honest, he hated being alone, he wanted a family, he wanted a wife and kids but women didn't look at him twice.
"I'm sure you'll find someone before your sister…" Judy continued.
"Oh well, yeah of course!" Ross said confidently.
"Y'know she's got a new job…working at some fancy restaurant…wonder how long that would last?"
"Okay then, tell me this…if Ross met Carol even though I wasn't there how come they never got married because if I remember correctly, I had nothing to do with their relationship… I stay clear of that…"
"You made Ross cool." Tony shrugged.
Chandler laughed loudly. "Yeah right…I wasn't cool myself how could I make him…. Wait! Hold on…hope you're not saying he looked cool compared to me!"
"I meant…"
"Because I might not be the coolest guy in the world but I am cooler then Ross…I mean who joins a dino club?"
"It's called 'Dinosaur Dudes' and I meant that Ross was bit cooler because you guys went to parties and all…if you wasn't there he would have stayed in his room studying and that's boring for anyone…"
"Oh right…" Chandler frowned slightly. "So, are you saying if it wasn't for me then Ross wouldn't have been married or have Ben?"
"About right…" Tony nodded.
"Nah, still not buying it!" Chandler shook his head, no way would everyone's lives would be this different.
"Y'know this would be a lot quicker and easier if you just believe in it!!" Tony glared at him.
"Oh, I'm trying to!" Chandler replied sarcastically.
"Right, the next part is…"
"Oh, let me guess, this is the part where Ross thought me and Mon were together?!"
"Now you're getting it!" Tony grinned causing Chandler to roll his eyes as the screen filled with a scene from Central Perk with everyone apart Monica and Chandler, present.
"So, you kissed Chandler's Mom?" Rachel stared at Ross."Um, yeah..uh..kinda…" He admitted shyly.
"And now he's not talking to you?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, he is now…"
"Yeah, you're lucky! There are rules about that kind of thing!" Joey glared at him."What rules?!" Rachel questioned.
"YOU DON'T KISS FRIENDS' MOMS!!" Joey stated.
"Oh…" Rachel said. "What about sisters?"
Joey's eyes lighted up. "Why? Who's sister have you kissed or want to kiss?"
"Ew! Joey! No!" Rachel glared at him. "I was on about Monica…"
"Oh right…" Joey and Phoebe nodded along.
"Erm, Wh..what about Monica?" Ross asked.
"Well, I've always kinda of thought that her and Chandler had something going on…" Rachel said.
"Yeah me too.." Phoebe added.
"Yeps.." Joey agreed.
"What?! Are you crazy?!"
"No seriously…I mean, they're always cuddling and close and stuff…"
"Yeah and whenever one of them as relationship problems or something they go to each other…" Rachel added.
"Yeah! Why not me?" Joey said emotionally. "I mean, aren't I good friend? Aren't I a good roommate?"
"Joey, please! What use would you be?!" Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Good point!" Joey nodded.
"Look, I don't care… there's nothing going one with them, there never has been, never will be!" Ross folded his arms across his chest.
"Alright, calm down…Geez…" Rachel muttered. "Some obliviously didn't see that pool game!"
"What pool game?" Ross head snapped up.
"Or hear the warning he gave me when I moved in…" Joey said.
"Why? What'd he say?" Ross turned to him.
"Oh oh, shush, they're coming!" Phoebe pointed out just as Monica and Chandler walked through the door.
"Hey guys…" Monica greeted, sitting down on the couch in between Ross and Chandler.
"Hi, what you been up to?" Phoebe asked, glancing at Joey and Rachel while Ross glared at Chandler.
"Oh nothing much, just been talking…." She gave Chandler a small smile.
"Yeah, she was telling me about that guy you been visiting…" Chandler said, still not noticing the looks Ross was shooting at him. "What a jerk! He didn't even thank you for everything you two did!"
"Eh… men!" Phoebe shrugged.
"Yeah, he was a jerk!" Monica added, causing Chandler to put a comforting arm around her.
Rachel could hardly stop the smile that started to spread across her face when she saw Ross' reaction to what Chandler had done.
"I'm getting a coffee!" Ross stated loudly jumping up. "Chandler, why don't you help me?!"
"You need help?" He gave him a strange look.
"Yes!" Ross said firmly.
Chandler stood up slowly, looking confused at the others.
"Everything okay?" Chandler questioned once they were away from the rest of the gang.
"Yeah, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened with your Mom, again…"
"I thought we decided to forget about that!" Chandler said annoyed, he didn't want to think about his mom and best friend making out.
"I know! I just want you to know that I won't break anymore of the rules…"
"What rules?"
"Y'know don't kiss any girls relating to friends…" Ross said, glancing at his sister before continuing. "Or any girls they like or been out with…"
Chandler caught him looking quickly over at the gang.
"Oh yeah, erm yeah those rules…" Chandler replied quickly. "I won't break them either!"
Ross grinned happily, thinking Chandler had got the message as they both wondered back over.
"That's what he was on about?!" Chandler stated after the scene finished.
"Yeah, I thought you knew that!" Tony frowned.
"No, I thought he was on about me kissing Rachel when he were in college…"
"You kissed Rachel!?" Tony screeched. "How come I didn't know that?!"
"Don't ask me!" Chandler replied. "I'm the guy who was apparently in love with my best friend and didn't know it!!"
"Oh you did know it, you're just in denial!" Tony replied. "Okay…right now, we watch Phoebe! Yay! I love this girl!!"
