Monica opened the door to her apartment. Nobody was home. She looked around the apartment for a while and stopped when she saw Richard's jacket lying on the side of the couch. She walked over to it and slowly picked it up. She brought it up to her face and smelt it. Of course it smelt exactly like him. Tears ran down her face and fell on the jacket. She was able to forget about him for about an hour or 2. She looked over at the answer machine. There were 4 messages. "You have 4 new messages. Hey Rachel. I just wanted to call you to tell you I lo.." Monica pressed the skip button. "Monica.. It's me Richard.. sweetie please pick up.. I know you're home... sweetheart......" There was a long pause. "Ok I guess you're not home. Call me when you get this message.BEEP" Monica sat down and hugged the jacket close to her. "Monica it's me again. Honey I need you.. please please please call me back. I love you.BEEP" Monica sighed. There was a long pause. "Sorry me again. Just checking to see if you are home.. I love you.. BEEP." Monica deleted all of Richard's messages and sat there looking at the answer machine while smelling his jacket.

Rachel giggled as Ross picked her up and walked her into the apartment. She jumped down when she saw Monica. "Sweetie... what's wrong?" She said walking over to Monica and rubbing her back.

"Nothing." Monica forced a smile and walked started walking towards her room.

"Sweetie aren't you and Richard supposed to be celebrating you're anniversary?"

"We broke up." Monica grinned and walked into her room.

Rachel looked at Ross. "I'm sorry sweetie.. "

"It's ok.. I'll see you tomorrow." He said kissing her forehead and leaving.

Rachel walked into Monica's room. "Hey honey... what happened?"

"We were walking in the park today.. and I saw these kids and.. and i was thinking about how great it was going to be when we have kids and then.. I realized that it was never going to happen. and then I asked him if he was sure if he didn't wanna have kids and he said yes.. and I just.. I want kids Rach.."

Rachel wrapped her arms around Monica and pecked the side of her head.

"Hello?"

Rachel's head whipped around to Monica's open door. She saw a strange man standing in the living room. "Oh my god."

"What?" Monica sniffed.

"There's a stranger in here!"

Monica turned around to see Chandler. Monica jumped up and wiped the tears off her face. "Chandler?"

"Monica hey.."

"What are you doing here?"

"Umm... uh.. you left.. this.." Chandler held out a black purse.

"That's not mine." Monica smiled.

"It's not? I thought it was since you were sitting next to it..."

"Monica what are you doing talking to the guy who wants to rob us?" Rachel looked at him. "That's my purse!" Rachel walked over to him ripped the purse out of his hands and slapped his arm. "Get out before I call the police!"

"Rachel.. this is my friend Chandler.."

"Oh.."

"You ok? You're eyes are a little red.."

"Yea." Monica smiled.

"I actually.. um.. are.. I umm.. well I haven't done this in a while." He laughed nervously. "Um.. do you want to umm.. kind of.. like.. umm.. Sorry.. "

"Are you trying to ask her out?"

"Yes.."

"I don't thi.."

"I'd love to." Monica smiled. He was the only person who could get her mind off of Richard.

"What?" Rachel looked at Monica in shock. "Sweetie.. I don't think it's such a good.."

"I'd love to Chandler."

"That's great! I'll pick you up around.. 6 tomorrow?"

"Sounds great." Monica smiled.

"Ok.. I'll see you then." He nodded and left the apartment.

"Monica you just broke up with Richard!"

"I need to move on.."

"Sweetie you were just crying over him.."

"I know."

"How do you know him?"

"I just met him today."

"Where?"

"Some bridge."

"What the hell were you doing on a bridge?"

"I don't know i was just walking and i ended up there.."

"Monica this is too soon for you.."

"I'm a big girl Rach.. I can make my own decisions."

"How can you do that Monica? You were just crying over Richard and then all of a sudden Chandler walks in and you're.. you're just like I'm over him."

Monica shrugged. "There's something about him." She smiled.
