Episode 9: The One with Thanksgiving in Westchester
Author's Note: MWAHAHAHAHHA! I'm back baby! I went on this damn vacation, so I haven't been home in weeks. I do have some writer's block, so bear with me.
Description/Summary/Synopsis: When Monica refuses to cook, Nanette shows her strong side by cooking Thanksgiving Dinner. When the dinner is a hit, Monica becomes insanely jealous.
(Monica and Chandler's House)
Monica woke up on November 25th. This was the first Thanksgiving that she wasn't upbeat and excited to cook Thanksgiving dinner. The recent tragedy was so sad, that Monica lost her Thanksgiving-y mood.
"Chandler," She said groggily, "We need to call everyone and tell them that we can't host thanksgiving this year."
"Well then, what are we gonna do to celebrate?" Chandler said as he woke up.
"We'll figure something out." She said back.
"Yeah, but can we not use the phone?" Chandler said, "Why don't we go to the coffeehouse and tell them."
"Hmmmmmn," Monica wondered aloud, "I need to pull myself together. You're making all the good decisions."

BEGIN SONG
"So, no one told you life was gonna be this way clapclapclapclap
Your job's a joke, your broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And when hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,
But…
I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to fall)
I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me toooooooooooooooo)"
(End Song)
(Central Perk)
The other six (Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, Mike, and Nanette) were sitting quietly, just chit-chatting.
"Wow." Chandler said, "Could this place BE any fuller?"
"Well," Ross said, "There's 8 of us now. It's going to be a bit of a full house nowadays."
"Anyway," Monica said, "I will not be cooking dinner this year. Due to our tragedy."
"NO!" "That's crazy" were the responses that she got.
"Hey, Hey!" Nanette said, "I can cook."
"You can't cook either!" Joey said.
"Why not?" his betrothed asked.
"The chick and the duck died!" Joey said.
"To be honest, Joey," She replied, "I don't really care."
"You don't!" Joey said, "Chandler, do you care?"
"…" Chandler thought, "No."
"Hey!" Rachel cut in, "What if we have it in Nanette's apartment? It'll be like last year, without the beauty pageant and the Rangers game."
"That works with me," Nanette said, "What do you usually have for Thanksgiving?"
"Turkey and stuffing." Chandler said sarcastically, "That's what MOST people do."
"OH!" Phoebe said, "I have to have tofu turkey."
"Why?" Nanette inquired,
"Oh, I'm a vegetarian." She replied
"Well," She said, "You'll have to cook that."
"It's OK." Phoebe said, "I can cook."
"Yeah," Joey said, "Right!" There was a short pause "Oh, you were serious?" This was received with disorientated faces.
(Nanette's apartment)
All eight of the group, were sitting around a beautiful French table. Everyone except Phoebe had their turkey and stuffing. As Chandler took the first bite, he had an amazed look.
"Oh, My GOD! I hate Thanksgiving but DAMN, that's a good turkey!" Everyone else took a bite.
"WOW!" Everyone except Phoebe and Nanette said. The dinner was obviously wonderful.
"Well, I can't say because I didn't eat it." Phoebe said, "But DAMN, My tofu turkey is awesome!"
"You really like it!" Nanette asked.
"YEAH!" They all replied.
"Wow!" She exclaimed, "I thought this would be a disaster!"
"No way!" Phoebe said, "This is the exact opposite of a disaster!" She paused "This is a… a… it's NOT a disaster." She pointed triumphantly.
(1 hour later)
"Okay!" Nanette said fully happy with herself, "Who wants pumpkin pie?"
"I DO!" Joey screamed.
"You can't have any." Nanette pointed a loathing finger.
"Why not?" He asked loudly.
"You know what the doctor said." Nanette said.
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed?" Chandler asked.
"No more pie." Nanette said.
"I already ate some!" Joey exclaimed. Nanette gave an evil eye. "Yeah, I really shouldn't have said that should I have?" Nanette shook her head.
"I don't." Monica said.
"Why not Mon?" Chandler said.
"I don't know," She said. I'm just going to go take a nap." She headed for her old room. A couple seconds later, she came out.
"I just remembered I don't live here anymore." Monica said as she left the room.
(10 minutes later)
Monica was sulking in the hallway.
"Hey," Chandler said as he came out in the hall, "What are you doing?"
"Joey's French chippy makes a better Thanksgiving dinner than I do." Monica said.
"Hey," Chandler said, "There is nothing better than your dinners. And, I mean, if it helps, I can give you some organized sex tonight." They didn't say anything else, they just smiled and kissed.

"NO!" Monica said, "I mean I'll cook next year. I'll be over this thing before next year."
