I'm glad this story is being enjoyed! Cheers :)
Aurora
She just couldn't understand it. Chandler had been very willing to be her sexual partner despite Rick and Ethan. Perhaps bringing up Andrew was too soon. She was really going to miss Chandler. He was so funny and charming. Aurora thought about the three other men she was with as she rode the bus over to where Andrew was waiting for her. Maybe Chandler was right. Maybe she should break up with at least one of them. She thought hard. Andrew. It was going to be Andrew who got the cut. She had been married to Rick for too long, and Ethan was very special. No, Andrew was going to have to go. She smiled. If only Chandler knew that she was doing this. He'd be so proud of her. At least, she hoped he would be. She closed her eyes and thought about their time together. She hadn't met any of his friends, but he had spoken a lot about one named Monica and how she was riding him about some cooking pot she'd lent him. Something about scratching it. Aurora had a feeling that Chandler might like this woman. She hoped he would at least figure it out before he lost his chance to be with her. She felt sad again suddenly. She wished she hadn't lost Chandler, but she knew she couldn't be in a monogamous relationship. He needed that, not her. She sighed. Onward and upward. She got off the bus and saw Andrew standing there with flowers. Her heart fluttered. Maybe she could just keep going with Andrew after all.
Jill
She couldn't help but giggle to herself as she left the ATM vestibule. Chandler turned out to be a really cute, funny guy despite the awkwardness and the choking. The way he whipped that pen and got hit in the face...she giggled harder. She looked back, wondering if she should go and offer him her number. She hesitated. He was probably gone, and maybe that was for the best. She hurried forward. Maybe in a different life she could have had something more with him.
Janice
"One of these times it's gonna be your last chance to be with me!" Janice shouted before she stormed out of Monica's apartment. She couldn't believe it! Chandler had only wanted her to come for the New Year's Eve party as a friend. What the heck was that?! She was so distraught. And she took more pictures. What was she, nuts? She started to cry louder as she hailed a cab. She could barely see. She was never going to let that Bing boy hurt her again. Nope no way. She stopped off at the convenience store and bought some ice cream. it was going to be another long night of crying and binge eating. She might even get hacky with the scissors again. Her pile of Chandler heads was growing, and she was running out of ideas of who to paste in his place beside her. She sighed. She was never going to understand Chandler. Why did he loathe her so? What had she done wrong? She turned on the television to find a romantic comedy on one of her channels, so she watched it. It took her mind off of Chandler for a while. Eventually, she fell asleep, spoon in hand with the tub of ice cream slowly melting.
Sandy
She felt mildly bad for cheating on Joey, but they hadn't really been dating after all. This was their first time together outside of work, and she didn't find him all that interesting after the first hour. Max on the other hand was interesting. He was going to Minsk. That was exciting. She wished she could go with him, but she had her children to think about. She and Max crept out of Monica's apartment right after the ball dropped. She didn't want to see Joey. She didn't want that embarrassment. She gathered her kids up and they split. Max came home with her, and the rest was history. Sandy hoped Joey wasn't too upset by it, but she figured he would move on to someone else. He seemed like that type of guy.
David
It had hurt so, so much to say goodbye to Phoebe. Why had she insisted that he go? He didn't want to go. He stared at his luggage that he was supposed to be finishing packing. All he could think about was her. Max was off having a one night stand with some woman from the party while he was wondering why he was putting himself through heartache. He picked up the phone to call Phoebe and tell her he wasn't going to go, but he hesitated. She had been adamant that he go, to not stay behind just for her. Maybe she had a point. He set the phone down. The last thing he wanted to do was upset her. No, he would go to Minsk. He would come back in three years, and they would get back together. If she was single, that is. David sighed loudly as he started packing again. The future just seemed so uncertain.
Fun Bobby
He left Monica's place bawling his eyes out. He was mildly irritated that she wasn't sympathetic to him losing his grandfather. She said he was bringing her party down. Well. How was he supposed to be happy and fun when he lost someone he really loved? He cried all the way back to his place and the whole time he packed. He cried until his eyes burned and he felt like he was going to throw up. Alcohol was not helping either. He tried not to think about Monica and her coldness. He hoped he wouldn't see her again. He deserved someone who at least tried to comfort him in his time of need. He wondered if she'd ever be that way for someone or if she even could be.
Coma Guy
He was so confused. These two women came in and basically had a peeing contest about who did what for him while he was unconscious, and he had no idea who either of them was. He vaguely recalled seeing them on the street. Did one of them woowoo at him? He thought hard. Was that how he had gotten hit? She had distracted him? Then she looked after him and wanted him to call her and date her? Who the hell did that?! He shook his head. This whole thing was so weird. He was glad to be finally going home. He felt a little creeped out that these women were doing things to him like shaving him and changing his pajamas. He shuddered. How come no nurse or doctor kicked them out? He'd have to make a complaint on his way out. He hoped he never saw those girls again.
Nora Bing
She knew kissing Ross had been a big mistake, but it had felt quite nice. Chandler had been very upset with her. He had even yelled at her! To see her son so upset about something made her realize how wrong she had been. You don't kiss your son's friends. Everyone knew that. What was wrong with her? She and Chandler got into it pretty bad, but in the end, he had said what he needed to say, and it made her realize that she hadn't really been a mom for him when he needed her. That was going to change. She was going to make more of an effort. After passing Ross in the hallway, she thought back to their kiss. She really hoped he would get with Rachel because Rachel was missing out on something quite hot. She smirked to herself. Maybe she could write a book about this...
