I don't own any of these people.

Chandler stepped outside onto the balcony for some air. It was a pretty cool night. The stars looked bright. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He brought it up to his lips and breathed it in. It felt good. Smoking would feel especially good when he was stressed. He was at a friend's wedding and he was happy for his friend, but he wasn't really looking forwards to being there. He looked out over the balcony and continued to smoke his cigarette.

"Still smoking?"

He heard a woman say as he turned around and saw the one person he really didn't want to see. The one person who was causing him to be stressed out. He tried to hide from her but at the same time he tried to find her. He wanted to see her but he didn't want her to see him. He wanted to know how she was and how she looked. And she looked like the most beautiful woman in the world. She was wearing a sexy low cut red dress that hugged her in all the right places. "Hey." Chandler said forcing a smile as he put out his cigarette.

She held out her arms awkwardly and walked closer to him to hug him. "You look great." She smiled.

"You too. How've you been?"

"I've been pretty good. How about you?"

"Same." He nodded and stuck his hands in his coat pocket. "You must be freezing out here." He said giving out a nervous laugh.

"Yea... I'm ok." She smiled. "I didn't know you were still friends with Ross."

"Well we still hang out."

"Oh.."

"I'm sorry."

"What for?" She asked rubbing her arms.

"For still hanging out with Ross."

She gave out a little laugh. "That's nothing to be sorry about. It's none of my business who you or my brother hang out with. Besides it's not like you ..."

"Mon, Richard's looking for you." Rachel, the bride, said as she opened the door. "Hey Chandler."

"Hi Rachel." He smiled. "Beautiful wedding."

"Thank you." She smiled back at him. "What are you guys doing out here it's freezing."

"We were just talking." Chandler nodded.

"I didn't know you guys knew each other."

Monica and Chandler looked at each other and back at Rachel. "Well, we do now." Monica smiled. "It was nice meeting you Chandler." She said patting him on the arm. "Maybe we'll talk later."

"Sounds great." Chandler smiled back at her.

Monica walked over to Rachel and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Oh my god Monica you're cold."

Chandler watched through the door as the women walked away. He turned back around to get one last look out into the city then he turned back around to walkback inside.He walked to his table and sat down. Monica was sitting across the room from him. She was hugging some man, and wearing what looked like his suit jacket. He was much older than she was. He saw her talking to him before. They looked like they were having fun. Chandler looked a little while longer and saw that the man had his hand on her thigh. Were they together? They couldn't be together. He looked old enough to be her father. He watched as she leaned in and kissed him. Chandler's eyes nearly popped out. Why wasshe doing that?She couldn't possibly be attracted to that old man. He was old. Sure he looked built and could probably kick Chandler's ass, but he was old. Maybe she was into him for the money.. even though she wouldn't do that.

"Sorry I took so long."

Chandler looked up to find his fiancee sitting down next to him. "It's ok." Chandler forced a smile and kissed the side of her cheek.

"Oh your hands are cold." She said as she took his hand.

"I stepped out for some air."

"Or a cigarette." She smiled and kissed him.

"When do you want to leave?"

"Chandler! This is one of your good friends' wedding you can't just leave we just got here."

"Sarah I'm just really tired." He said looking back over to Monica and the old man who were kissing. Chandler wanted to throw up. It was disgusting."I need to go to the bathroom."

"No more cigarettes!" Sarah said with a smile.

"I know." Chandler said getting up and pecked her on the head. "I'll be back."

"It's cold out there." Monica smiled as she walked with her best friend back to their table. Her best friend, Rachel, had just gotten married to her older brother. So she was now not only her best friend but her sister.

"You guys, your men are looking for you." Phoebe, one of Monica's closest, maybe even one of her best friends said. "Ross is over there talking and Richard is behind you." She smiled.

"Thank Pheebs." Monica smiled and turned around to find her boyfriend walking towards her with a smile. "Hey honey." She smiled wrapping her arms around him and kissed him.

"Where've you been. I've missed you."

"I was uh.. outside talking to someone."

"Oh. No wonder your freezing." He said taking off his jacket and wrapping it around her shoulders. She loved Richard. He was an amazing guy. He was much older than her, and was one of her parents best friends but she loved him. Monica wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and looked over his shoulder at the man she was just talking to. Chandler Bing. He had just walked back in. She was surprised she ever walked over and talked to him.. she was surprised it wasn't the other way around. She probably went over to him because the champagne she had earlier got to her.. She didn't really realize what she was doing until she was actually already outside when it was too late to turn around. Richard whispered something in her ear making her giggle.

"This wedding is so beautiful." Monica smiled.

"Yes it is." Richard smiled placing his hand gently on her thigh and leaning in to kiss her cheek. "You helped plan it." Monica looked around the room and found Chandler sitting across the room next to a woman. She watched as he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. Must have been his date.. or girlfriend. She didn't see a wedding ring so she didn't think he was married... although he could be married.. not all guys wear rings. And Chandler was definitely one to not wear a ring.

"Do you think our wedding will be this beautiful?" She asked hoping he wouldn't freak out or anything. They hadn't really talked about getting married. They talked about it once but it was a very awkward talk. She really wanted to talk about it. She wanted to know where he was. It seemed like the perfect time to talk about it.

After a long pause, he smiled and said. "It'll be a million times more beautiful than this wedding."

Monica smiled and kissed him. "I love you."

"Love you too."

She looked back over to Chandler's table and saw that he was gone. She turned her head back towards Richard and smiled. "I'll go get us some champagne."

How was that? I really hope you guys liked it. Please review.
