Hillary

The date with Ross had been going so well. She had found him charming and funny, and he was such a good listener. When she had turned down the lights and saw his teeth glowing like they were radioactive, she freaked out. Who did that to their teeth?!

"What is wrong with you?" she cried.

"Me? Who has a black light in 1999?!" Ross exclaimed. She stared at him, not that he was hard to miss. His teeth were baring at her now. If she wasn't so offended, she'd laugh.

"It's cool!" she defended herself, crossing her arms.

"Cool? It's not cool," Ross said, getting up. All Hillary could see was his teeth bouncing across the room in the dark. The urge to laugh was powerful, but she kept it down. This was like some bizarre sitcom episode.

"Be careful outside. If you smile, the bugs might wanna fly in like they do to a bug zapper," Hillary commented. She couldn't help it.

"Oh ha ha ha," Ross laughed sarcastically. His teeth flashed when his lips flapped. When he left, she finally burst out into laughter. It really was too bad it ended so terribly. She would have liked to been able to tease him about this moment years down the line. Finding a good guy was so hard lately. If they did whiten their teeth for a date, why was that so alarming? She poured herself more wine and fought the urge to chase after him and apologize. Some things were best left alone.

Janine

The whole thing with Joey had been very sweet in the beginning. His attempts at flirting were so off the mark, but they had been cute. She admired his physique quite a lot once she started noticing it. He was also an amazing kisser. The only bad thing about him was his friends. She tolerated Ross. Rachel got on her nerves, and Phoebe was so out there that Janine rarely took her seriously. Monica was so freaking loud, and Chandler was so damn dull. Honestly, she couldn't understand why Joey was even friends with them. She had made an effort twice, but it just wasn't going to work. Then, after her attempt at apologizing and making up, Monica chased her down the stairs. The woman nearly caught up to her at the bottom, but thankfully she tripped on the bag of garbage she was carrying. This gave Janine the chance to escape, and she caught a cab to go to her friend's place to wait until Monica wasn't home. She'd get her things then.

...

"Hello?" Janine said, opening the apartment door. Joey was sitting in his chair.

"Hey," he replied.

"I'm just here to get my things," she told him.

"Okay."

She packed quickly. She didn't want to risk Monica seeing her there. She didn't think she'd get lucky twice. She hated to admit that the woman now scared her.

"Got everything?" Joey asked when she came out with her bags.

"Yes."

"Sorry it didn't work out," he said sadly. She looked at him and felt sorry too. Without his friends, they could have made it. She thought so anyway.

"Take care," she nodded, picking up her bags and going to the door.

"Aw, honey, you really could have caught her," Chandler was saying. Janine froze at the door.

"I was this close!" Monica shouted. Janine felt the words ring in her ears. Honestly, did Monica not hear herself?!

"Next time," Chandler reassured her. Janine missed what Monica said, which was rare, as they went inside their apartment. She took this chance to bolt. She didn't even look back at Joey. She couldn't risk any distractions.

Jill

"We can't," Ross said after pushing her away. Jill stared at him. What the actual hell?!

"Excuse me?" she asked.

"This isn't right," Ross said, moving away from her.

"How is it not right?" Jill demanded, moving for him again. Ross held up his hands as a shield as she pawed at him.

"Jill!" he shouted. "Stop it!"

"But whyyyy?" she asked, pouting.

"Because! That...that's it," Ross finished. He couldn't tell her the real reason why. Jill stared at him before reaching for his projector and throwing it against the wall, smashing it.

"You SUCK!" she shrieked. Ross quickly grabbed some other obviously valuable items to save them, so she stormed to the door and yanked it open.

"Jill," Ross started.

"Nuh uh! You don't get to talk to me anymore," Jill said, slamming the door behind her. She quickly got ready to leave the city. She couldn't stand being around her sister anymore. Rachel did nothing but sabotage her every move. She couldn't deal with it. She found them all at their stupid coffee shop and declared her departure. Neither of them cared, which she chose to ignore. They were the ones missing out. Now, it was time to go make amends with Daddy. She had her eye on a really expensive necklace.

Paul

He was sitting in his living room not sure how to feel. Rachel had asked him to share, and he had. Then she said it was too much sharing, and she dumped him. His mind was boggled. What did women want?! He started to shake with sobs again, thinking about the Chicken Boy thing again. God that one was hard to get over.

"Dad?" Elizabeth asked, coming into the house. He quickly swiped at his eyes, but he knew she'd figure it out.

"Hey, baby," he said, smiling at her. It was quite wobbly.

"What happened?" she asked, concerned.

"Rachel and I, uh, broke up," Paul answered. She sat down beside him and put her arm around him.

"I'm so sorry," she said, resting her head on his shoulder. "I know you really liked her."

"I did, but if she can't take the whole Paul Package, then it's no deal," he sighed.

"You deserve someone much better," Elizabeth assured him.

"And I'm not going to break my 'no sharing' rule ever again," Paul muttered.

"What's that?"

"Nothing. How are you? How's school?" He didn't ask about Ross. He hated that guy.

"It's great."

"Good. Why don't you go study?"

"Are you sure you'll be all right?" she asked, worried. He scoffed.

"Oh, I'll be just fine."

"Okay."

He watched her go up to her room, and he cracked his neck. It was time to return to Macho Paul Mode. There was a reason he didn't share his emotions with women. It always ended up like this.

Elizabeth

"I just...I just don't see a future with us," Ross was saying. Elizabeth was standing there listening, but her brain was starting to buzz. No future? What? Was he serious?

"I really do like you, but I just don't want to waste our time if it's not going anywhere," Ross finished. He shifted on his feet, looking at her.

"I see," she responded, knowing he was looking for one. "I guess you're right. I wasn't thinking that far ahead, but you make sense."

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. It has been wonderful. I'll miss you," Elizabeth said.

"I'll miss you too," Ross responded. He looked relieved for some reason. Did he think she was going to freak out?

"Well, I guess this is it," she said.

"Yea. Take care," he nodded. When he was gone, she immediately called her father.

"Daddy?" she said.

"What's the matter, baby?"

"Ross dumped me."

"What?!"

"He said we have no future."

"Aww, honey. Wait, you still got one of those balloons?" Paul asked. He had heard about her epic fight earlier.

"Yea."

"Nail him with it. After all that and he dumps you? That's bullshit. You go get him sweetheart!"

"Yea!" Elizabeth shouted. She raced to find one of the leftover balloons and grabbed it. Then she yanked open the window. She caught sight of Ross on the street.

"Ross! Wait!" she called, making him turn around.

"Elizabeth!" he cried. "Thank God! I was just thinking about..."

She didn't let him finish.

"You suck!" she shouted.

"What?!" he yelled. That wasn't the first time he'd heard that.

"Nail him!" Paul shouted from the phone she had set down on the windowsill. She threw one as hard as she could, hitting him on the head. Her roommate, Zoe, having figured out what she was doing, passed her another one while giggling. Elizabeth threw it too. Then she threw some more that Zoe had found.

"Okay! Break up is still on!" Ross shouted before running for cover. Elizabeth high fived Zoe and picked up the phone.

"Did you get him good?" Paul asked.

"I sure did," she answered. "I got one in there from you for Rachel too."

"Aww, you're the best," Paul said. "I love you."

"Love you too."

"Come home for dinner. We have to celebrate."

"Celebrate what?"

"That we ditched the losers!" Paul cried. Elizabeth laughed.

"You're on. See you in a few hours."

She hung up and went back to her room, smiling. So what if she and Ross didn't have a future together? He was a wiener anyway, and a suck. Who doesn't like a water balloon fight?!

Richard

He had had the perfect opportunity. Chandler had royally screwed up his chance at being with Monica, and she had come to him after he confessed that he still loved her. Richard had felt a little smug. She needed to think, and he wanted her to pick him. Then Chandler showed up at his door acting all brave when Richard knew he was in fact terrified, and Richard started to remember that he wasn't a bad guy. He couldn't destroy a relationship just because Chandler was an idiot. Chandler had to do that on his own. Then Richard wouldn't look like the bad guy. He'd just be the sympathetic ex who looked after her when she lost her relationship. Things could go from there. He'd marry her and make Chandler look like a fool. Ah, there went his bad guy brain again. It really did get out of hand sometimes.

You had your chance, and you blew it.

Yes, he had. Chandler's words echoed in his ears. It was very true. He wasn't sure why he had dipped his toe back into that pond again. He guessed it was just his love for her resurfacing and overwhelming him after seeing her at the restaurant. He never did truly get over Monica. He had told her as much.

"When you get her, don't let her go. Trust me," he had advised.

"You know, you are the good guy," Chandler had responded.

"I know, and I hate that!" Richard had sighed. Then Chandler had run off, leaving the ring. Richard held it up in the air, knowing he'd come running back for it, which he did. Then he sat in his living room feeling broken...again. How many times was he going to be devastated by losing this woman? Enough was enough. He couldn't do this again, and he couldn't stand thinking about her with someone else. Perhaps it was time to think about moving.

And that is all of Season 6! Just a few more to go! Thanks for reading/reviewing/favoriting/following! :)
