"Can you just turn off the radio!" Monica snapped, frowning. Phoebe parked in the lot and they all climbed out eagerly. "C'mon, let's see that cup, Pheebs."
"No, no," Phoebe replied, shaking her head. "No one gets to see the cup until after the game. That's fair, right?"
"Uh...," Ross began, "no!"
"C'mon, Pheebs, please!" Joey complained, pouting. Phoebe shook her head again.
"You guys," she started to say, "the sooner we start the game, the sooner we'll be able to see the cup, okay? So, c'mon, let's play!"
"Fine," Monica muttered under her breath. "But we better win that damn trophy, Phoebe and Rachel, or, I swear to god, that you will never help me clean my house again!"
"T-That doesn't sound too bad...," Ross said slowly. He looked at Monica and said, "Is that the same with us if we lose?"
"No!" Monica said, frowning. She tossed the boys' their bandana, and gestured for them to hide it.
"Wait, I have to set new ground rules," Chandler said, before Ross could say anything. Ross frowned, looking angry. "Number one, we have to be able to see the flag; Two, we can't hide the flag anywhere but in the park -no, not the parking lot, that doesn't count; Three, our area is in the playground, and the girl's area will be where the jogging place is. Everyone knows where that is, right?"
"Well, uh, yeah, but that last sentence sounded odd," Joey said, frowning. Chandler grimaced, disgusted.
"Come on, guys, lets go hide it," Ross said, shoving his hands into his pockets. He turned around, despite and cold weather, and looked down.
"What's up with Ross?" Monica muttered under her breath, raising an eyebrow. She shrugged enthusiastically and smiled. "Oh well! C'mon, lets hide this flag!"
-------------------------------
"NO!" Ross cried angrily, glaring at Chandler. "We are not hiding it there! The girls', especially Monica, will find it in no time! What are you thinking, Chandler?"
"Well, I'm sorry, but do you have any other ideas?" Chandler snapped. He threw the bandana to the ground angrily. "This is stupid, okay? Why are we even playing this - stupid game?"
"You guys, you guys!" Joey cried, putting an arm to Chandler and Ross, separating them. "What has gotten into you two?" He looked at Ross. "Why are you so angry?"
"Joey, shut up, okay?" Ross said angrily. Joey look shocked for a second, but that quickly turned into anger. He frowned.
"Here, let me hide it," Ross said, picking it up from the ground. He angrily stormed away from the two boys.
"So," Chandler began. "That's it... why is he even mad at me? What did I do?"
"Hey, uh, Chandler, did you bring...Monica?" ... "Is my sister your date?"
Chandler snapped back into reality, and sighed, feeling stupid. "Oh," he muttered under his breath. Then he shook his head as he told Joey, "I'm gonna be right back. And if Ross is looking for me... tell him I, uh, went to the...restroom. Okay?"
"Sure, but, dude, where're you going?" Joey asked, stopping him. Chandler sighed again.
"To Monica," he replied hesitantly, looking away. Joey smiled playfully.
"Why?" he asked. His grin widened.
"Look, I don't want to talk about it, Joey," Chandler said. "I really need to see Monica..."
"Whatever you say," Joey said, smiling. He watched as Chandler ran off, then frowned, saying aloud, "Now what do I do?"
-------------------------------
"Monica!" Chandler cried. He looked behind him. He finally saw her and ran up to her.
"Hey!" she cried, shocked. "I'm still hiding the, uh, bandana. Or, flag... what're you doing here?"
"Ross is angry," Chandler informed her, frowning seriously. Monica stopped for a second, then raised an eyebrow.
"Is this a joke?" she asked. She cracked a smile.
"No," Chandler said, but he smiled anyway. "You know how I, uh...brought you to...dinner? Yeah, well, he's angry...at the thought of...you and...me...? You know what I'm saying?"
"Yeah," Monica said, nodding. She frowned. "But why are you telling me this?"
"Well, do you know how we can get him happy?" Chandler asked, smiling weakly.
"Yeah," Monica muttered. "We could... well, we could... let you guys win."
"Really?" Chandler said, raising his eyebrows in shock. "And you'd be okay with that?"
"Well, it is just the one and only Second Gellar Cup...," Monica said through clenched teeth. She shook her head and smiled. "You know what? That'll be perfectly...okay."
"Oh, thank you, thank you," Chandler said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Then he turned around and began to walk away. But then he stopped to think: Did I just...? He turned around, and saw Monica smiling and blushing. He shook his head, laughed, and went to tell Joey what the plan was.
