My plan was to do season 9 then 10 separately, but I realized there was only three for season 10, so I lumped them together. That means this is the last chapter :( Yes, I am also sad about this. Thank you all for your reviews and support! I hope you enjoy the last chapter, and I hope you keep reading my other stories. Happy reading!

Hayley

Her room mate started howling with laughter once Joey left. Hayley glared at her.

"What is so funny?!" she demanded.

"He thought you had forgotten you slept with him! That's hilarious!" she cackled. Hayley crossed her arms angrily.

"Well, it's a good thing this came up now or else I might have gotten serious with him."

"Oh, honey, no. Joey is not the serious relationship kind of guy."

"Well, now I'll never know."

"No, I'm telling you from experience. He's not."

"You know what, I'm done with this conversation," Hayley said, moving towards her bedroom.

"If it helps, he cried like a girl when the cactus poked his ass!" her room mate called after her. Hayley shut the door in response, but she couldn't help but burst into giggles about that. The visual got stuck in her head. That right there helped prove she probably would not have dated him for long. She did't want to be with someone who would cry from a cactus poke.

David Part 1

Seeing Mike was like someone had stabbed him in the gut. It was easy to pretend he didn't exist when he wasn't in the room. He loved Phoebe so much, and he knew it was unrealistic to think she'd be single when he got there. She was beautiful. Any guy was lucky to have her. He just wanted her more than them. He had to let her go, though. Mike seemed like a nice guy. She deserved that. He kicked himself for ever going to Minsk. He lost the best thing ever by choosing work.

"Someone got lucky," his cab driver smirked, seeing Phoebe's lipstick on his face.

"Oh, no," David said, wiping it off hastily. "It ended badly."

"I'm sorry."

"No. It's my fault. I went to Russia nine years ago and stupidly thought she'd still be waiting for me."

"Dude," the driver winced.

"I know."

"Where to?"

"Um, I don't really know. The nearest hotel I guess."

"Sure thing."

David looked out the window as they drove. New York just wasn't as sparkly without being with Phoebe.

Gavin

He felt disappointed that the timing with Rachel wasn't right. She was full of spunk and fiesty. She made him laugh, and she was smart. She was also very cute. All right, she was hot. He went home after seeing her and stared at his rodeo clown photo. He'd come a long way from there. He sighed. Things would be so awkward at work with Rachel now. He knew he couldn't stay there. He picked up the phone.

"Mr. Zelner?" he said. "I'm sorry. I have to resign."

He spent the next ten minutes convincing his boss that it was for the best, and by the time he hung up, he was exhausted. He couldn't stop thinking about Rachel, but he knew he had to. She was off limits. Maybe in a different life they could have had a relationship. For now, he had to start looking for a new job.

Mike

His heart was broken. Phoebe wanted marriage. He didn't. They wouldn't change their minds. Their relationship was over. He sat on his couch in his apartment not moving for about three days. He couldn't eat. He couldn't sleep. What had he done? But then he remembered why he couldn't get married again. Maybe Phoebe wouldn't be like that, but he couldn't risk it. He was too afraid. If they couldn't make it work by just living together, then it was better to not be together. He wondered if she would get back with David. No. He couldn't let his mind go there. He sat there miserably. His mind went there anyway.

...

When his friend got preoccupied, Mike went to Phoebe's. Yes, it was totally a bad idea, and yes, it would make getting over her that much harder, but he missed her like crazy. They slept together, and they ignored Monica on the other side of the wall listing all the reasons why this was so bad. If anything, it made them want to do it more.

"I wish," he started.

"No," Phoebe cut him off. "Don't. Let's just enjoy the moment."

"Okay," he agreed. She was right. Getting into it would only make it worse. When it was over and he was back at his apartment, he felt more empty than the last time he sat there. He was crazy to give her up, but he was sticking to his guns. He had to. It was impossible not to think about her, though. He wrote songs about it. He banged away on his piano for hours feeling mournful. This was his life now. He had to live with it.

David Part 2

He lost to Mike, again. Boy this was getting old. He stood in the airport in Barbados waiting to fly back to New York. From there, he'd probably move somewhere else because he couldn't stand the idea of living in the same city with Phoebe married to another man. He had packed his bag very quickly after she told him she couldn't marry him. He didn't want to see her with Mike (it was bad enough he witnessed her accept Mike's proposal). He just wanted to get out of there.

"How was your stay?" the lady at the desk asked when he approached.

"Terrible."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"No, no. It's not the place. Barbados is wonderful. It was, uh, the woman I came with. She...she got engaged to someone else."

"Oh my God..."

"Yea."

"I'm so sorry."

"If she's happy, then I have to be happy. It's a kick in the nards when you're down for sure, but I'll recover," he smiled grimly.

"I hope you find someone who loves you back," she said sympathetically.

"Ah well, I don't know about that. Phoebe had my heart for a long time."

The lady didn't know what else to say, so David just carried on through and got on the plane. He half hoped he would hear Phoebe screaming his name for him to get off the plane, that she loved him after all, but perhaps that wasn't meant for him. It would happen for someone else probably. David leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. It was finally over. Nine years was a long time. He didn't think he'd ever get over Phoebe, but he would try. It would be a sad life otherwise.

Charlie

When she had broken up with Joey for Ross, she had felt really bad. When she broke up with Ross for her ex boyfriend, Benji, she felt worse. Well, the feeling didn't last long really. She maybe felt bad for half a day. It wasn't her fault that Benji wanted her back! It wasn't her fault that she still loved him! This whole thing had been such a whirlwind. Some might even call her a tramp, but who wanted to be with the wrong person? She'd rather be called names than be unhappy. Sure, Ross had suited her perfectly. Joey was a bit of a long shot, but the sex was amazing. Benji, though, he was just right. He was her man. She had no regrets. None at all.

"You okay?" Benji asked. They were at his place. She was in his bed.

"I'm fine," she smiled.

"Is it Ross?"

"No, no."

"Good. He's so weird," Benji laughed.

"Mmhmm," Charlie agreed. Ross did have some weird moments. She reflected back on the night he was "fine." He had clearly not been fine, which led her to believe Ross still loved Rachel anyway whether he knew it or not. They had a baby together for crying out loud! No, she was better with Benji. She loved this man. Ross would move on, she knew that. Yes, it had been good while it lasted, but Ross was not her soulmate. She hoped he would figure that out soon.

Sarah

Joey ate her dessert. He ate the whole thing. She couldn't believe it!

"I'm not even sorry," he said. There was chocolate all over his face. He looked like an honest to God toddler. She stared in disbelief.

"You ate it?!" she exclaimed.

"Oh yea," he said, rubbing his stomach.

"I'm out of here. Don't call me ever again," she ordered, grabbing her purse and coat.

"All right," he shrugged. "Hey, tell your friends that Joey doesn't share his food!"

Sarah ignored him. What a pig! She couldn't believe that Phoebe was friends with this guy! He was so immature. She hailed a cab and got in. She called her sister while they were driving.

"He what?" she exclaimed.

"I know!" Sarah said back. "He ate it!"

"Dude," the cab driver said, shaking his head. He was totally listening to the conversation.

"Excuse me. This is a private call," Sarah told him.

"Sure," he nodded.

"So, you just left him there?" her sister asked.

"Yup."

"Good for you! I hope you ate expensive food."

"It was enough."

"Look, I have this guy..."

"No! I love you, but no. No more blind dates. I'm done," Sarah cut her off. "I actually don't mind being single."

"Weirdo."

"Love you too," Sarah laughed, hanging up. She shook her head, thinking about Joey. She wondered what woman would ever end up with someone like him.

Janice

Chandler had feelings for her. She couldn't buy the house beside him because it would ruin both of their marriages. Oh, man. It was the right thing to do. Janice felt his lips on hers still after she left. Granted, he hadn't been quite as into it as before, but all the same. It was Chandler. She was happy, though, in her marriage. His bombshell of news just took her by surprise. Everyone had a moment of weakness, and not only that but she would never see him again. She justified it.

"You okay, honey?" her husband asked when she came home.

"Yea," she replied, bobbing her head up and down. "I think we should stay here in this house after all. Monica kind of intimidates me." It was a lie, but he would buy it. Her afraid of Monica. So laughable!

"Oh. Are you sure?"

"Yes," she nodded. It was for the best. She was all right. Chandler and her had a long history, but it was definitely in the past. There had been lots of ups and downs and some maybes, almosts, and definite nos, but they found their way and got married to their soulmates. Janice knew Chandler would always be in her heart, but that's all it would be. She was going to miss the gang for sure. After this, it didn't make sense to see them. They all had their own lives, and she had hers. It was truly the end. She felt a little sad, but she knew that all good things came to an end sometimes. It had been good while it lasted. She smiled. The future looked bright.

The End

It is very satisfying finishing a story. It just seemed right to end it with Janice, the long lasting member who kept getting dumped by Chandler lol. Anyway, I will see you all again next time! Cheers!
