When life turns to reality
Chapter 4

Monica followed chandler into their cabin, they found Ross and Rachel still
on the couch. Rachel was still on Ross's lap and they were flirting; only a
little bit and they were still really friendly.

"You know, uh, Ross," says Rachel, "You have really soft hair."

Monica and chandler stood in the doorway of the living room and watched Ross
and Rachel Monica whispers

"Oh, look they're Romeo and Juliet." She cooed at the end

Ross and Rachel didn't realize Monica and chandler there, and they kept on
flirting

Ross blushed and went all giddy. "Yeah, think so.you?"

Rachel blows in his ear and runs her fingers through his hair "Yeah, I do, I
really do."

Then they had enough of watching Ross and Rachel this way, and wanted to
move on with the night so chandler interrupted naturally.

"You guys we're ready"

Monica yells, "Come on!"

Ross and Rachel were not used to the volume of their voices, because Ross
and Rachel on their own had been so quiet and gentle. Ross accidentally
dropped Rachel on the ground from the noise Rachel was fine, but yelled

"Ross!" and started to laugh, Ross joined in. Monica and Chandler stood
there bored, wondering what was so funny, it was the love

Ross an Rachel got up and then Ross picked Rachel up again and followed
Monica and Chandler outside, they saw what Monica and Chandler had set up
and it was great, Ross was the first to notice only 3 chairs and decided to
comment on that.

"Chandler? How come there are only 3 chairs?"

Monica answered Ross's question for him instead of Chandler; Monica glared
at chandler as she spoke

"Because someone was supposed to go to the, and get more, but didn't!"

Chandler answered Ross's question sarcastically and truthfully as if he had
never heard what Monica had said

"Ross to answer your question, we broke 1 of the chairs because we needed
kindling"

Monica retorted "Exactly my point!"

Chandler showed Ross and Rachel a pile of broken wood, that was the chairs
behind them, they were using the broken chairs as kindling for their fire
right now, you could tell beaus e the wood had paint on it now. Ross then
sensed another chance to be with Rachel and offered

"Rach do you want to share one of the chairs with me?"

"Sure, since anyway you are the one who carries me"

Ross and Rachel both laugh and look over at Mon and Chan who are not at all
laughing they are just staring in a sort of unknown happy shock, they don't
say anything, they just go to the side to talk in a whisper.

"Okay that was scary." Monica mocks.

"Not really, I mean Ross has an obvious affection for Rachel, and I don't
know, maybe she has one for him too." He swoons, how do you know if you love
someone? What is that moment when you start to fall in love? And how do you
know if they love you back?

" Okay why are you always right? I hate when you're always right. But you
know at least they have time to 'bond' out of the cabin and all."

" Yeah! Come on!"

Monica and chandler go back to where Ross and Rachel are they start
handing out the marshmallows for roasting, Monica then notices from the
corner of her eye that Ross and Rachel are in a separate conversation but
she decides to ignore, but only for a while, then she would have to talk to
Rachel about what's been going on.

"Okay we've only got 3 roasting sticks!" says Rachel.

"Sorry" says Chandler.

"That's okay, Mon want to share one with me?"

Monica looks over at Chandler's face; he gives her pleading puppy dog eyes.
Monica could tell the message we was trying to portray to her; and what he
was trying to ask without words, it was; Monica, would you please share a
roasting stick with me?

Monica looks at her best friend, and then looks at Chandler. Someone has to
get hurt here, but who? She flips her black hair behind her shoulder, and
lifts her nose towards the sky a little as she lies to Rachel.

"No thanks, I already promised Chandler."

Ross gets an instant look of utter disappointment on his face and
Then Monica notices this and decides to act on it and give Ross, for once
What how wants, since Monica and chandler are trying to get then together
Anyway. Monica speaks.

"Sorry I have already told chandler I would share with him!" she reinforces.

After Monica said that she thought, that sounded really lame, and are they
Going to buy it but once she had stopped thinking about it Ross and Rachel
Were back into their own conversation, was Monica getting jealous? Monica
Thought no! I'm not jealous! I just want to help them get back together. The
4 of them started roasting the marshmallows and Ross and Rachel were both
Holding their roasting stick together, and laughing and having a great time,
Then Monica thought of another idea so she pulled chandler aside again and
Told him.

What is it Mon?" Chandler eyed her.

"We should eat out of each other's hands!" Monica suggested, with a
wide-open smile.

" EWWW!" Squirmed Chandler.

"No not just us so would Ross and Rachel." But us too. Ya' know Chandler.
Monica made goo-goo eyes at him.

"So? What would be the point of that?" Chandler questioned.

"Cause then I can see how they act and respond to it, okay?"

"Fine"

Monica went back to Ross and Rachel with chandler and they saw that Ross and
Rachel were still talking and laughing, they listened closely and they were
talking about all the usual stuff, like dinosaurs, school, holidays,
birthdays and fashion. Monica then announced what the game was and the rules
and crap like that, and the response they got from them was the one she
thought she would get.

" Whatever" Rachel scoffed.

"Okay." Ross returned.

Monica then looked at Chandler with happiness, relief and a tiny, tiny bit
of shock and chandler still thought this was gross, but he coped through the
10 seconds. Once Mon and chandler were done eating out of each others hands
really fast, which I already said it only took them 10 seconds and then it
was Ross and Rachel turn. Monica spoke.

"Okay that was gross and fast, but now Ross, Rachel it's your guys turn!"

"Fine" Ross and Rachel said in unison.

Ross and Rachel ate the marshmallows out of each others hands slowly, gently
and gracefully, after awhile they started using their tongues to lick up the
stickiness, chandler had seen enough so he stopped them with a joke, well a
lame sarcastic comment at least.

" Stop hand French kissing! It's making me sick" Chandler yelped.

"Yeah, God." Monica said' half agreeing and half sticking up for Chandler.

Ross and Rachel looked into each others eyes or well at least they looked at
each other and blush a little then Monica decided to start the next part of
her plan, also because she wanted to and she wanted to break the tension and
make Ross and Rachel have more fun.

" Well chandler and I have to go!" Monica perks.
Chandler catches on quite quickly

"Yeah we have to go!"

"Where?"

"To the store!" Monica said.

"For what?" Rachel asked.

" Our ski and tube and horse rental cards for the activities tomorrow, we
will be back soon." she said.

"All right"

Monica and chandler quickly leave and go in the front door without Ross
and
Rachel noticing, they take all 4 keys and lock both doors and leave down the
road to the store, the corner store, the only store for miles. Monica talks
first again.

"I wonder what will happen while we are gone?" Monica giggled.

"No clue, but I hope it's good" he says.

" Me too, now we actually have to get these cards, but we need to go slow,
okay?"

" Yeah"

Monica and chandler keep walking and they bump into a boy and a girl around
The same age as Ross, Rachel, Mon and chandler so they decide to introduce
Themselves. One looked tired. The other sexy. She had long blonde hair that
looked like it hadn't been combed in a while, he had bulging biceps. They
went up to these people, a little nervous. Who were they?

Monica and chandler keep walking and they bump into a boy and a girl around
the same age as Ross, Rachel, Mon and chandler so they decide to introduce
themselves.

" Hi I'm Monica and this is my friend chandler," she said

"Hi I'm Joey and this is my friend Phoebe," said the strange rather sexy
boy.

"Great to meet you

" You guys too" said Phoebe, beaming.

" So where are you guys staying?" Monica asked.

"Just right down the road" said Phoebe.

"We are staying down there too!" Chandler yelped.

"How long are you staying?" Phoebe asked.

"3 weeks!"

" Oh my god! Us too!" Joey says.

Joey said his little catch phrase to Monica "how you doing". He found Monica
very attractive; Flashy blue eyes, long rivers of jet black, straight hair,
and a petite body, however not ample breasts. Monica was not the least bit
impressed; she gave him a what the hell is wrong with you, man? Look and
pushed him out of the way. He would have captivated any other woman, but
Monica had her eyes on someone else.

They all walked down the store and Monica decided to tell them about Ross
And Rachel and their plan, then they all agreed to do the plan together.

"Awesome, so is this Rachel, Is she hot?" he grinned.

"Why would you care?" Phoebe pinched him.

Phoebe was like the jealous Phoebe in a funny non-romantic way and she
Always said stuff like that in a laugh, fun way

"Cause I need a girlfriend." Joey whined.

" Well you can't have Rachel! She's for Ross!" Monica cooed.

" Fine" Joey snapped.

Joey was kind of upset cause he was the girl magnet and he needed to be with
girls 24/7, Joey knew though that he couldn't flirt with friends, especially
if another guy wants them too.

"And dude try not to flirt with anyone in this group" said Chandler,
"Especially me. I'm straight."

"Really?"

"Uh," Chandler's mouth was wide open.

"I meant, yeah you're really straight. Totally a lady's man."

When Phoebe and Monica, chandler and Joey met they all were like instant
friends and they were really close and could tell each other everything and
anything.

When they all decided to go to Joey and phoebes cabin, Monica and chandler
noticed and were happy that Joey and phoebes cabin were next to there's

As all 4 of them walked back talking they got to near Monica and chandler's
cabin and hid behind a bush so Ross and Rachel didn't see them.

They all ran quickly into Joey and phoebes cabin and got near a small window
in their living room area so they could see what Ross and Rachel were doing
outside.

"WOW! Cool." Joey was watching Ross and Rachel play tonsil hockey.

"Ewe Joe, no they are locked out, we took their keys!"

Chandler: and we thought it would be more romantic outside for them!

Phoebe: you guys are brilliant!

The 4 of them, and when I say the 4 of them I mean Joey, phoebe, Monica and
chandler, they sat near the window, close by it and they were ready to duck
when they sensed or saw Ross and Rachel looking over at the little window.
This was a risky game but it was also so much fun and it entertained the 4
of them.

They didn't have to whisper, but they did have to stay somewhat quiet
because you could kind of hear through the walls, cause it was only a cabin.
The 4 of them, well actually Monica decided to bring a video camera to film
Ross and Rachel, they couldn't tape it all, but they taped what they could
see, Ross and Rachel were about 40 feet away from the window the 4 of them
were peeking through.

Phoebe: oh my god, look at them!

Joey; I know it is actually sweet!

Monica: shhhh! Be quiet!

Chandler; why they cant here us!

Monica: oh yeah sorry!

The camera cut to Ross and Rachel

Rachel is still sitting in Ross's lap, even though the other 2 seats are
Free now, Rachel gets up and then Ross does too. Rachel goes over to the
Edge of the beach, and puts her hands in the ocean to wash them, because
They are still sticky, really sticky from the marshmallows. Ross also does,
Because of course his hands are also sticky, Ross decides to break the
Silence that the 2 of them had from the chair to the ocean, and actually it
Wasn't really a silence, It was only not talking for like 1 minute.

Ross: that was fun, you think?

Rachel; that was so much fun!

Ross; I've got an idea!

Rachel: what idea would that be?

Rachel said that with a little bit of a seductive voice with a fun giggle,
Ross thought she was joking, which she was and he ignored it, and told her
His great idea

Ross; going horseback riding!

Rachel; awesome

Ross: come on this way!

Rachel and Ross walked next to each other near the shore and turned down a
Dirt road, just off the main road. They were going down to the horse stalls
They having a great time, finally when they get to the dock, they walked
Down it.
Ross swirled Rachel around in a circle about 3 times and then threw her off
The dock into deep water. Rachel screamed a playful scream and then started
Laughing, and laughing she was at the point of laughing and she couldn't
Stop. Rachel got up out of the water and sat down next to Ross on the edge,
Neither of them was even thinking about where Monica and chandler were,
They weren't worried about that at all. Rachel then pushed Ross in and once
He was in, she jumped on his back, and Ross gave her a piggyback ride and
They swam, when Rachel got a good idea, it would depend on how much they
Trusted each other. Rachel then not at all shyly asked and stated

Rachel: Ross can we do something?

Ross: what do you want to do?

Rachel; go skinny-dipping! Come on!

Ross: what?

Before Rachel could respond, Rachel was in the middle of taking her swimsuit
Off, she was working on her top, but then she couldn't untie the back part
Of her bikini so she had to ask Ross for assistance.

Rachel; Ross?

Ross was wondering what absurd thing she was going to ask or say now, but it
Couldn't help but turn his head and wonder, or see if she was naked yet, he
Looked her way and saw she was having trouble, so he wanted to help

Ross: yeah?

Rachel: could you help me untie this please?

Ross: are you sure this is a good idea?

Rachel; sure, what's the big deal?

Ross; well we'd be naked in front of each other

Rachel; so when you swim like that it is so free! Come on!

Rachel finally got her top off without Ross's help and was now naked in
Front of Ross; the camera cuts back to Monica, chandler, Joey and phoebe,
They were looking through the window in shock

Phoebe: oh my god, my eyes, my eyes!

Monica; what are they going to do!

Joey: who cares, she's naked!

Monica; Joe that she you're referring to is my best friend and I think she
Is in love with my brother, Ross!

Joey: oh sorry I forgot!

Chandler: why don't you just think of Monica, phoebe and Rachel as your
Sisters? You cant be that way with them

Phoebe: or even think of us that way!

Monica: okay Joey?

Joey: all right

Chandler; well let's just keep watching, until we can't see them anymore

Everyone: good deal!

LATER THAT EVENING ON THAT VERY SAME FUN DAY

Rachel went into the bathroom. No, no, no, why? She opened the medicine
cabinet. She remembered Monica's words. Rachel, there are a lot of people
who are important to you. Monica was right. She cared about Monica, and
Chandler, she could see herself caring about Phoebe and Joey eventually
becoming important. But then Rachel had said But it doesn't matter does it,
Monica, because if you are missing the most important person, you lose sight
of everyone, everything else that matters.

Rachel saw it laying there; Ross's razor. What about being a
fashion model? Or marrying a rich guy? Does Heaven really exist? Where am I
going? Can I take this risk? Is it noble? Is it weak?

I can take this risk.

And she turned on the razor, closed her eyes. She opened her eyes, and took
in the sun. She put the razor to her wrist, and watched her blood fall onto
the pink frayed rug;

This was the last time.
