The Bings and Ice Cream
"…. Now I want you all to apologise to your Uncle Joey…" Monica reprimand walking up and down in front of the couch, where Jack, Erica and Emma were all sat with their heads bowed, with Joey stood next to her with his arms crossed.
"Sorry…" They all mumbled.
"Hey…" Chandler walked in, shrugging out his jacket, kissing Monica on the cheek as he did and glancing at the kids. "What's going on?"
"They kidnapped Hugsy and held him at ransom…" She sighed, handing a piece of paper.
"A Bag of cookies or the penguin gets it…" Chandler read out aloud, smiling at the badly drawn penguin at the bottom.
"Why do I get the feeling you've got something to do with this…" Monica looked at him suspiciously.
"What? Me!" Chandler replied. "I've been at work all day!"
Joey gasped and pointed at him. "But you have a motive!"
"Motive!"
"You've always hated Hugsy!"
"Oh come on…" Chandler threw his hands up in the air in defence.
"We only wanted to play…" Jack stated, he wasn't fascinated with Hugsy like the girls but was interested in the cookies….he decided not to inform his parents of that.
"He is not a toy!" Joey claimed.
Chandler slowly looked at him. "Yes, he is…"
Joey looked back at him for a moment before shrugging and looking away, slightly embarrassed.
"Look, that isn't important…" Monica cut in. "Three six year olds couldn't have come with this on their own…they must have had help…"
"Why you both looking at me!" Chandler asked, seeing his wife and best friend staring at him.
"I wonder why?" Joey said accusingly.
"Hey guys…. what's going on?" Ben walked in, holding a bag of cookies. When he noticed the note in Chandler's hand, he quickly hided the bag behind his back and smiled innocently at them.
XxXxX
"Can I go now?" Ben complained for the tenth time in 5 minutes.
"No!" Both Rachel and Monica said together.
"But this sucks!" He whined... he had been forced to go on a family picnic with them.
"That's family for you…" Chandler commented.
"Honey…. Not helping…" Monica stated.
"Yes and this is payback for getting my little Emma-Wemma-Demma in trouble…" Rachel stroked her daughter's hair, referring to the cookie incident.
Emma looked up at her mother, smiling her most innocent smile just reserved for her parents that always worked to get her out of trouble.
Ben rolled his eyes at them before turning back to his aunt and uncle. "But this is Sooooooo boring."
"Oh come on, a few hours of eating, drinking…" Chandler replied. "It's not that bad."
"Really?" Ben raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, we got to make the most of Jack and Erica while they're still happy to be seen with us in public before they turn in a horrible teenage like you…"
"Hey!"
"Guys, guys…why you fighting?" Joey asked, taking a bite from a chicken leg. "Good food…good drink…. Great view."
All three of them, stopped and stared as two women went by on roller-blades.
"Ow!" Chandler complained when he felt something hit him, he turned around to see Monica sat with her arms crossed…he smiled lovingly. "Hey, Honey…"
"Hey guys…" Phoebe and Mike approached them. "Welcome to our picnic…"
"Your picnic?" Monica repeated. "We invited you…"
"Yes but this is Central park…. I live near here…. You all moved…" She replied. "You all abandoned me and the city…so this is our park…"
"Right, okay…we get it…" Chandler cut her off before she could go any further.
"Oh…oh…. Pretty girl!" Joey jumped up after spotting the jogger. The others watched in amusement as he chased the girl through the park, trying to get her attention.
"Right, come on…. You can help me un-pack!" Monica said to Chandler.
"Aww…" He started to moan but notice the look on her face. "Okay honey…"
"Someone's whipped…" Rachel mumbled to Mike and Phoebe, causing Chandler to glare at her.
Before he could say anything in response, Monica handed him some boxes of food; he sighed and did as he was told.
"Hey, Joe…" Rachel saw him heading back to them. "How'd it go?"
"I couldn't keep up!" He said breathlessly, dropping to the ground. "She would not stop running!"
"Hard luck, Joe…" Chandler replied, trying to hide a smile.
"Can I go now?" Ben asked, everyone had finished eating and Chandler was made to help Monica tidy up.
"Come on, Ben…." Rachel sighed. "Would it kill you to spend some time with your family?"
"Yes!"
"Well, aren't you the little light in the dark…" Chandler said sarcastically. "What's so important that you want to leave?"
"Just video games and stuff…" He shrugged.
"Thank god, he never said homework…" Chandler replied, making everyone look at him curiously. "What? He is Ross' kid!"
"Look, we're just going to stay here for a little while longer, get some ice cream…. Then we'll leave…" Monica told him. "Maybe play some games too."
"No!" Chandler exclaimed.
"What!" She looked at him.
"No games!" He stated. "We agreed!"
"Oh come on, it'll be fun…"
"Yeah for you…" Rachel laughed uneasy.
"I'm not that bad!"
"Do I need to remind you of the Pictionary incident!" Chandler asked.
"Oh, it wasn't that bad!"
"I needed stitches!" He pointed to the faint scar on his forehead.
She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Don't be such a baby!"
"Daddy…" Erica tugged at his shirt, making him turn his attention to her, Jack and Emma. "We want ice cream…"
"Yeah, lets go…" He picked her up and placed her on his shoulders, glancing back at the glare Monica was sending him. "I know that look…"
"Oh! I'll come…" Joey said, picking up Emma.
As they started to head off they heard someone clear their throat, making them turn back. Chandler laughed slightly when he saw Jack stood next to his mother, copying her look and crossing his arms too.
"Sorry, Buddy…" He walked back and lifted him up, causing him to grin happily.
The others exchanged grins as they watched they walk off, Monica continued to watch them, smiling happily while the others turned back to what they were doing.
"Can I go yet?" A voice broke her thoughts….
"Okay, so that's strawberry for Jack and Emma…and chocolate for Erica and uncle Joey…" Chandler said, handing them all their ice creams.
"Thank you!" They all said, eagerly taking them off him, as he turned back to the ice cream man to order some for the others.
Joey was just about to take his first bite when he saw the girl from before run past them again. He looked at her longing and then at his ice cream, trying to decided what to do.
"Joe, you won't catch her!" Chandler sighed, getting some money out and paying for the ice cream.
Joey looked from him, to the girl, to ice cream…. Whining in frustration before something caught his eye.
"Jack, here hold this…" He handed him the ice cream, before turning to a teenage skater boy. "Can I borrow this?"
"What?" The boy asked.
"Come on, quick, you'll get it right back!" Joey jumped up and impatiently. "I'll give you 20 bucks…"
"Okay, cool…." The boy handed him his board.
"Joe, don't be crazy…you'll break your neck…" Chandler told him.
"I'll be fine…I use to do it all the time when I was a kid…it's like riding a bike…" Joey stated, getting rid jump on the board when he notice the kid holding out his hand for the money. "Chandler, pay the man…"
"What?" Chandler asked, as Joey stepped onto the board, wobbling and gripping onto Chandler has he rolled past him, causing him to lose his own balance and drop the ice creams on the floor. "Joey!"
"I'll back…" Joey called, his arms flying around trying to stop himself from falling, hitting people as he went by.
He sighed and looked around, the boy was still waiting for his money, while the kids were all focusing their attention on their ice creams.
Joey managed to stand up straight just before he reached the girl; he grinned as he passed her.
"Hey, how you do…. Arrrrgggggg…."
Darkness…
"Joey…Joe…." He opened his eyes slowly and saw Chandler knelling over him.
"Hey, man…" He frowned, trying to sit up. "What happened?"
"You rolled into a posts…" Chandler helped him to his feet.
Joey looked confused at him before seeing the girl from before looking concerned at him and it suddenly all came back. "Oh…."
"Are you okay?" The girl asked.
"Uh…yeah…sure, I'm fine…" He jumped up, wincing slightly but tried his hardest not to show it. "I'm Joey by the way…"
"Heather…" She smiled. "Well as long as you're okay, I better get on…"
"No…no wait…" He called after her but she was already gone, he sighed.
"Come on, Tony Hawk…" Chandler put his arm around him, helping him limp back to the others, the children following in a line behind them.
"What's going on?" Monica asked, seeing them. "What happened?"
"Joey had a little incident with a skateboard, a post and a hot girl…" Chandler told them.
"Oh right…" They all nodded understandingly.
"So, where's our ice cream?" Phoebe questioned.
"Didn't you hear me?" Chandler looked at her. "Joey…. Skateboard… hot girl…"
Rachel rolled her eyes. "I'll get them…. Come on, Ben…. You can help me…"
"Do I have to?"
"Hey, the sooner we get them and eat them…the sooner we can go home…"
"Okay, lets go…" He jumped up eagerly.
"Hey, what happened to mine?" Joey asked, looking at Chandler.
"Uh…." Chandler looked around, his and Joey's eyes falling on Jack at the same time…. Seeing the remands of chocolate and strawberry ice cream smeared across his face. "Ah…."
"Aw, man…." Joey whined. "This picnic sucks!"
"Hey!" Phoebe objected. "If it sucked that much why don't you go back to your nice, happy little house out of the City!"
"Maybe I will!" Joey replied.
"Fine then!"
"Uh, Joe.." Chandler tried to interrupt but he ignored him.
"Fine!"
"Good!" Phoebe continued, causing Mike to roll his eyes and eagerly move away from the pair.
"Joe…"
"Good!" Joey repeated, hitting Chandler's hand away as he poked him to get his attention.
"JOEY!" Chandler finally shouted.
"WHAT!" Joey turned to see him point behind him. When he looked he saw Heather stood there. "Oh…Hi…"
"Hi…uh, I think you dropped this…" She held a wallet out to him.
"Oh yeah, thanks…" He grinned and took it from her. "So, how about me and you…"
"Hey, ready?" A huge, athletic guy came up behind them.
"Oh yeah, sure….hold on…" She smiled at him before turning back to Joey. "You were saying?"
"Uh…I was ummm….I was going to ask if….if umm… you wanted an ice cream…" Joey finished off, glancing at the other guy quickly.
"Ice cream?" The guy repeated, with a funny look on his face.
"What's wrong with ice cream?" Chandler cut in, trying to clean up Jack's face.
"Oh nothing…not when you're a little kid…" He replied with a shrugged. "Not really healthy though is it?"
"It's ice cream…" Chandler replied as he and Joey stared at the guy.
"Well, I guess if you like that kind of stuff…" He flashed them a false smile. "Come on, let's get going…"
"Okay…" Heather nodded. "See you around….I'm glad you're alright…"
"Bye…" They started to jog off when he turned back around. "And well, you know it wouldn't kill you to go to the gym once in awhile…"
Both Chandler's and Joey's mouths dropped open, watching them disappear.
"Did he just insult us?" Chandler asked Joey.
"I think he did…" He replied.
"He had a point…" Monica added.
They both looked at her before down at their bodies and then at each other.
"Gym? Monday?" Chandler suggested.
Joey started to nod his head, before shaking it.
"Nahhh…." They both said.
"Come on…" Chandler told Joey. "We can't let him get away with that…"
"Hey, where you going?" Rachel asked as he and Ben came back.
"No where…" Joey said innocently but then carried on walking before realising and turning back, taking an ice cream off and jogging to catch up with Chandler.
"Men…." Emma said loudly, shaking her head causing everyone to turn their attention from the guy to her, slowly.
"They're coming…they're coming…" Joey shouted, running over to Chandler from where he had been keeping watch.
"Okay, I heard you the first time…" Chandler told him, handing him a few balloons. "Here… get ready to aim…."
"Water balloons?" Joey looked unimpressed.
"Not water balloons…" Chandler grinned, holding up a bucket with melted ice cream in the bottom. "Lets see how much he really hates it!"
"Nice!" Joey approved. "This is going to be so cool…."
"Yeah…" Chandler nodded. "Just don't forget to run…"
"Oh yeah!" Joey agreed. "We'd be so dead if he caught us…."
"Alright…. Here they come…get ready…" Chandler crouched down behind a tree, getting ready to throw.
"Go!" Joey shouted, throwing one of his.
"That's not them!" Chandler pulled him down, out of sight as an annoyed teenager looked around, angrily as he friends pointed and laughed at him.
"Eh, well…" Joey shrugged. "Oh…here they are…"
"Okay, not yet…not yet…. NOW!" Chandler ordered, as they both sent the balloons, hurling forwards…
XxXxX
"Do you realise the seriousness of what you've done?" Monica was once again pacing in front of the couch, as the suspects sat with their heads bowed. "Not only was it stupid and dangerous…. Innocent people got involved…."
"Hey but did you see the look on his face…" Joey laughed, high-fiving with Chandler.
"My eyes…my eyes…" Chandler mimicked, in a loud shrieking voice.
Monica rolled her eyes. "You're meant to be adults…"
"Yeah, guys…. Ice cream balloons?" Rachel shook her head. "You should have used egg and flour…. It sticks better…"
"Yeah!" Joey agreed. "Why don't we try it out on the guy down the road, the one who's always moaning about us?"
"I'll get the flour…" Rachel jumped up.
"I'll get the eggs…" Chandler followed her.
"I'll keep watch…" Joey headed out side.
Monica sighed loudly. "Am I the only adult here!"
