Friday Night Movies were a normal occurrence among the friends. This
week the movie just happened to be Joey's favorite The Shining. He was
bummed that his best friends was sick partly because he knew he would be
scared when he went to bed that night and Chandler always made him feel
better but also because he hated to see anybody sick especially his best
friend. Just as these thoughts crossed his mind out came Monica and
Chandler from the bedroom.
"Hey Bud how ya feeling?" Joey asked hopefully, even though he could tell
by his appearance that he was obviously ill.
"Ehhh I've been better." Chandler replied his voice raspy and quite nasal.
"So what are we watching tonight?" Monica changed the subject.
"Well we were just going to put The Shining in actually." Rachel answered.
Chandler walked over to his chair and plopped down. Monica followed
Chandler's lead and sat down on his lap.
"Are you sure you should sit so close to me I don't want you to get sick."
Chandler said.
"I haven't been sick since 1992!" She replied proudly.
"She does have a freakishly good immune system." Ross stated.
Just as the movie began Chandler started sneezing, trying to stifle them
but failed because they were quite audible. He received a round of Bless
you's yet the tickle was still present. He got a perplexed look on his
face, and his tongue stuck out just a little. To Monica that face looked
adorable, he looked so vulnerable and childlike. But to Chandler it was the
most annoying feeling in the world. Having to sneeze but nothing coming
out. The feeling faded and he began watching the movie again. Suddenly out
of nowhere out came the sneezes. A record number too. Not bothering to
stifle them, Chandler sneezed five or six times before he excused himself
to them bathroom where he wouldn't disrupt the movie anymore. He was
stating to get annoyed with this cold. He opened the medicine cabinet and
took out the bottle of cold medicine and drank some right from the bottle.
After blowing his nose he left the bathroom and returned to his chair.
"Better now?" Monica asked.
"I sure hope so." He replied
It didn't take long for that cold medicine to do its job on Chandler,
within twenty minutes he was out cold.
Although he was asleep it was not a restful one. He was coughing finally
waking himself up. Monica suggested he go lay down in his bed.
"You'll be more comfortable in there." She convinced him although it didn't
take much, because he obliged and headed for his room after he received his
feel better's and get well soon's
You just get in that bed and I'll make you all better." Monica told him.
She fluffed his pillow and did everything she could think of that would
make him more comfortable. After she got him situated she went into the
kitchen and got a glass of water and a thermometer.
"Let me see how high that fever is." She said placing the thermometer in
his ear.
The beep went off and she read the temperature.
"What is it?" Chandler asked.
"103.5" She answered concern evident in her voice.
"That's too high, maybe I should take you to the doctor." She added
"Monica don't be silly, he would laugh in my face and be like you have a
simple cold there is nothing I can do, just get plenty of rest. I'm telling
you it would be pointless." He said coughing towards the end of his
sentence.
"Alright but if that fever isn't down by tomorrow then I'm taking you and
no buts!" She scolded jokingly.
"I love you." He smiled.
"I love you too." She answered and she did, she really did.
