So, here's the next bit. Friends-girl2008, hopefully this answers your question about how I'm writing each season.- thanks for your review. Imagine what if, thanks for your great advice. I'll probably go back and edit the first chapter when I have time. I haven't set myself a time limit with this project, but I do want the satisfaction of seeing it finished. So, I hope you enjoy the ramblings of Monica Geller (now that you've had enough of mine). Just something I noticed as Monica's thoughts came to me; they aren't quite from the season finale, more like halfway through the last episode. Close enough.

'It started off in a coffee shop in a most unlikely town,'- Bowling For Soup.

'Argh! I wish Rachel would pick up her stuff when she's done using it. In fact, I tell her that every day- and sometimes, not so nicely. I guess she's got a lot on her mind right now, but that's no excuse for leaving wet towels all over my bathroom floor... Deep breaths Monica, just clean it up and it'll be fine.

'I've had people tell me I'm a little too obsessive about my cleaning habits, but why should that bother me? Yeah, I did spend time trying to prove those people wrong a few months ago, but I think I only managed to prove that I was mildly insane. I hate being wrong, but I love being organised more. The world would be a better place if more people cared about being able to see themselves reflected in the surface of coffee tables. Perfect.

'I've told Rachel she's half-hearted in her cleaning of the tables down at the coffee house. I don't think she cares. She just works enough so that Terry doesn't fire her and that she gets paid. Why should I care if she's not bothered about clinical levels of hygiene? It's all up to her.

'It's been so much easier having a roommate again this past year, sharing the bills and rent with someone, I love it. It was unexpected, mind you. I was hurt that she didn't invite me to her wedding, but it would have been a waste of time anyway, what with her leaving Barry at the altar and all. .. She deserves someone better than him. Maybe someone like Ross.

'I need to stop getting excited about those two getting together; it might not even happen! I can't help it though... I mean, if they got married, Rachel would be my sister-in law! Woah, getting way ahead of myself there. And them. Although, Ross has had a crush on Rachel forever. I knew he fancied her in high school, he was so obvious about it. I did occasionally wonder if he was gay- he used to lock himself in his room with his friend Will... But I thought he was over Rachel. He was married to Carol for years! Who'd have thought she'd turn out gay?

'And I've just had a thought. What if Rachel is creeped out by Ross's feelings for her? She and Ross are polar opposites! What if she finds the idea of dating Ross, my brother, how Ross would see the idea of me going out with one of his best friends? (At least Chandler's within in my age range, unlike Ethan... didn't his parents wonder where he was!) I hope Rachel doesn't move out because of Ross. He would be heartbroken and he'd go running to mom, who would somehow make the whole situation out to be my fault... Ah, I need to breathe!

' Think nice thoughts... Baby Ben. I can't believe I'm an aunt! Ben is just so cute, I could squeeze him so tight... that's better. Calm again. I think I'm done cleaning in here, I might make a lasagne. If only Joey would stop taking our food. Don't get me wrong, I love cooking for everyone, but they could at least keep some food in their own fridges. I bet if I was to go over to Chandler and Joey' apartment now and look in their fridge, I'd only find beer, ice-cream and some gone-off items. Uck, don't think about it. Although they may have a few fruit baskets from Joey's girlfriend...

'I wonder what time it is China? Sounds like something Ross would know... or maybe Phoebe. For all I know, she's probably been there. And got the t-shirt. Ross probably will get one; maybe even for Rachel. To go with the broach. See, he'd be perfect for her! Way more honest and reliable than certain John-the-wine-guys I know. Alan was nice though... except for the fact that it felt like he was also dating my friends. Weird...

'That's it, I need to talk to Rachel!'
