"Joey, before you go to sleep, I have a present for you," Monica said.

"Mon, you didn't have…"

"Just open it!"

"Ok, Mon," Joey said as he lifted the neatly wrapped present. He shook it. "Hmm… I can't hear anything." Monica grabbed the present and opened it. She lifted up a simple pair of pajamas.

"Oh, you got me pajamas! Thanks, how did you know I didn't have any?" Joey smiled and laughed. "They've got little trains on them!"

"Will you wear them?" Monica asked.

"Oh… um ok," Joey answered unsure. Pajamas were so uncomfortable.

Rachel got dressed quickly that morning. It was a long drive to Central Perk. Emma woke shortly after her. "Hey honey, we're going to see daddy today."

"Yay!" Emma shouted and sat in the chair next to Rachel. Monica and Joey were already up.

"Monica, you didn't have to wake up so early," Rachel said.

"I didn't want to," she points to the chicken; "Damn chicken woke me up."

Just then, Joey walks up to the table. "What are we having?" Joey sees Monica's face. "If Monica's cooking, it'll be tasty."

"Do you guys want omelets?" Monica asked.

"Mmmm… sounds good," Rachel said. Monica smiled and continued to cook. "Joey, congratulations!" Rachel exclaimed. "You're wearing pajamas!"

"Oh, yeah and they're much more comfortable than I thought they would be. There are really roomy and breezy in the spots you need them to be. If you know what I mean."

OOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOooo

Rachel walked into the coffee house, slowly examining it. When she spotted Ross sitting at a table she waved.

"Hey," she said, taking a seat and getting Emma one.

"Hi," Ross said. "Do you want some coffee, I was about to get some."

"No, thanks, but can you get me a chocolate chip muffin?"

"Yea, sure," Ross said as he got up and made his way to the counter. Something was missing from the counter. There was no blonde man with hair brighter than the sun. Instead a 19 year girl was staring confusedly at Ross.

"Um…sir, you haven't talked for 2 minutes. For the second time, can I help you?" Ross quickly snapped out of his trance.

"I haven't been here for a while. Gunther still works here right?"

"The old man with the bleached hair, yeah… I think he quit a year ago." The girl paused. "Can I help you?" She asked expressionlessly at Ross.

"Oh… yeah. I'll have an ice tea and a chocolate chip muffin," Ross said. He felt weird. The words the girl just said. He knew he must have come less than a year ago. Although he didn't come to central perk much anymore. It didn't feel right without his friends. It also didn't feel right without Gunther.

Rachel stared at Ross. He was still at the counter. What the hell is he doing! What is he thinking? God Dammit, you'd think after 10 years, I could read Ross inside and out, but I can't! If he's flirting with that girl…!

"Hey Rach, they were out of chocolate chip, but I know you like raspberry, so I got you that…Rach," Rachel was staring straight at Ross.

Oh god, he's talking to you! Stop talking to yourself! "Oh, yeah. Sorry. Is that why you were at the counter for so long?" Rachel asked hopefully.

"No, not really…That girl…" Ross started.

Crap! God, finish you god damn sentence.

"She told me that Gunther quit a year ago."

"Oh…wow." God Rach, you are such an idiot! How could you think that Ross was flirting with that girl. He likes you…right? Wait, did he just say Gunther quit…A YEAR AGO! Oh…wow. Rachel briefly remembered her last encounter with Gunther. She couldn't help but blame herself that he was gone. "That's weird."

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it either." Ross gulped his ice tea as Rachel took a bite of her muffin. "It's weird how things change."

"It is. I guess that's how life is, you can't avoid change." Rachel looked down at her muffin, feeling really guilty. "But you can change for the good." Her eyes looked into Ross's. For a long moment they sat their just staring at each other in the eye. For one long moment they remembered how things used to be. Things didn't change for the good.

Feeling like he had to break the silence he murmured awkwardly, "Yea… um change." They quickly finished eating and headed for the park.

Rachel pushed the stroller steadily. "Mommy! I want to play in the playground! Please!"

"Yes sure go play," Rachel approved. Emma ran quickly into the playground. Rachel and Ross sat on a bench, clearly enjoying the beautiful day. "Ross, I can't avoid telling you how guilty I am."

"What do you mean?" Ross asked, trying to sound as he didn't have a clue about what she was talking about. But as a matter of fact, he knew exactly what she was talking about. It was this subject that kept him up at night. He wondered why he wasn't mad at her, but he wasn't, he couldn't be.

"Ross…You know what I mean."

"Oh, yeah, right. That was two years ago, Rach. It doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, sure, fine did I mean what I said? Yes, I did, but again, that was two years ago. I was upset for a while. I didn't understand why you left. But, Rach, I'm over that now. And yes, I still sometimes feel loving feelings for you, but that doesn't mean I'm in love with you. I don't love you, do I?" Ross couldn't believe himself. What had he just said?


I know what ur thinking. Great, a cliff hanger.
