Chandler, the man who discovers another reason to live
Monica, the woman bound to learn life's inevitable lessons.
Disclaimer: The characters are not mine!
There was silence. All you can hear is the calming sound of the waves in the coast. It was so peaceful. It's his time to think through about his life.
"I wonder when I'm going to die" he said loudly, he thought no one heard him
"Stop saying that Chandler! You have so many things to live up to!" his best friend said to comfort him
"Leave it, Phoebs! Sooner of later, I'm going to die! Maybe it's going to be tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. We can't tell, Phoebs! Only God knows!"
"Since when do you believe in God?"
"I've always believed in God! I always pray for my friends, my love ones, and sometimes for my self. I pray for the homeless people who I see in the streets everyday. I pray for them to have a chance of living longer."
"Chandler!! Stop it with the death talk!"
"I have to face reality, Phoebe!"
"Fine! Anyway, I have a surprise for you."
"What is it? Is it a reservation for my grave?"
"No. It's 2 tickets for a cruise"
"Cool. This maybe the cause of my death, like Titanic, you know!"
"Shut up! You and your guest will go tomorrow"
"You're not coming with me?"
"Nope. Oh and it's for a week!"
"What if I don't want to go"
"Chandler, you've been through a lot of things lately, you need a break"
"Fine. I'll go, but if one day, you hear the news saying 'Cruise sank, Chandler Bing got killed' you have yourself to blame for that!"
"Okay, I've had enough of this, Chandler Bing! You know what? You are pathetic! You should be happy you're still alive! You're lucky, unlike some people out there who are fighting for their lives. And sometimes, your jokes are not funny anymore!" Phoebe told Chandler angrily
"Okay. Sorry, Phoebe!" Chandler told Phoebe and gave her a hug
"Good. Anyhow, I have date. I'll see you later! I'll help you pack!" she said and gave Chandler a quick kiss on the cheek
"Alrighty, see yah later. Good luck with the date!"
Now he was alone. He felt the cold breeze, and the sound of the waves are slowly fainting. He felt the whole world before him, spinning. His head hurts as if a hollow block hit it. After a while. It was all gone. But it keeps on coming back like a nightmare.
"Oh my God, Monica! You're getting married tomorrow!!!!" Rachel, Monica's best friend, squealed in excitement.
"Yeah" she said distractedly looking at the window in her hotel room near the coast.
"Mon, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. I just feel like something is going to be wrong"
"Monica, you've planned everything out perfectly! Nothing could possibly go wrong!"
"You're right. Thanks"
"So, are you excited to go to you honeymoon?"
"Yeah. We're going in a cruise for a week"
"OMG! The Santa Margarita cruises (A/N: I made that up! Hehe)????? That is like the most prestigious cruise there is! Celebrities cruise there! So, Mon, if you happen to see Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, tell them I said hi!"
"Jennifer Aniston?"
"Yeah, the girl from that TV show, the one you said who looks like me?? Brad Pitt's wife!!"
"Oh! That girl from the TV show with Matthew Perry and that hot girl with raven hair?!"
"Yeah, her. Anyways, I think you better go sleep now. Tomorrow's your big day!" Rachel said excitedly. Her best friend waited for this day all her life.
"Yeah. Maybe I should." She said dully.
She was distracted. She feels that something is going to be wrong, maybe its just pre-nuptial jitters. She has a very strong feeling that something is wrong, not with the flowers, not with the caterer, not with the seating chart, but with Joey. But she's known Joey since she was a little kid. Nothing could possibly go wrong. She's trying to contradict her mind. He loves her so much to hurt her, she knows it. She loves him too, but she doesn't know why she's having doubts.
He was alone in a quiet solemn room. Waves were moving as if there was a storm approaching. He can hear the raindrops falling on the rooftop. Again, he was alone, listening to the rain. He has no reason to smile. He prayed.
"God, how come I never found the love of my life? What if I die tomorrow without finding her? How come my life is miserable? What have I done wrong? Sure, Phoebe is the best friend I could ever ask for, but she's not the person I'm supposed to be with. God, I'm not going to love before I die, huh?" tears were falling down from his eyes "I'm not going to experience wedding, dates, proposals. Who am I going to live up to, if ever Phoebe's right? God, please send me signs. Please tell me I'm going to find the person I'm going to live up to. If I'm not going to find her, I will surrender my life to you. You can control everything, you are so powerful. Tell me I can find her"
He drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow, he's going to the cruise, alone. Who goes on a cruise alone, anyways?! But Phoebe is right, he needs a break.
The next day.....
"Okay, Chandler. Have fun at the cruise! I hope you enjoy it! You're gonna have so much fun!"
"I hope so Phoebs!"
"Alright! Anyways, if you see a celebrity like Lisa Kudrow—"
"Lisa Kudrow? The blonde lady on the TV show with Brad Pitt's wife and that hot girl with brunette hair?"
"Yeah. So, you take care, alright?"
"Yeah. So, I'm gonna go now."
"What?! But the cruise is not leaving for another 2 hours."
"Yeah, But I have to church and pray for a while"
"Whatever you say, my friend!" Phoebe said with a laugh
"Bye Phoebe, I'll miss you! I'll miss my Pheebster for a week!" he gave her a quick kiss on the lips
"Aw. I'm going to miss the chan-chan man too!"
"Bye Phoebs, take care, alright?"
"I will. You too, okay? I love you friend!"
"I love you too, friend"
Chandler walked in the church
"Great. There's a wedding" he said bitterly
He knelt on one of the pews and prayed
"God, is this the sign I was looking for. Tell me. Please. Send me signs......"
A/N: hey!! Please review!!!
