The One With All The Roses: Set Between TOW The Cop and TOW Rachel's Inadvertent Kiss

It was the day before Chandler and Monica's 9 month anniversary and everyone except Monica was sitting in their usual spot in Central Perk.

"So, Chandler have any special plans for you and Monica's anniversary tomorrow?" Phoebe asked sitting back down on the couch with her coffee.

"Speaking of that. I need to ask you guys for some help for what I'm planning." He said to them.

"Ok what is it?" Ross asked.

"Well, around 6 I need you guys to help me set something up on the roof."

"On the roof?" Rachel asked confused.

"Yes on the roof." He said.

"Well what is it we're going to be setting up?" Joey asked.

"Oh, just help me put 1,000 roses into vases, and help spread those out all over the roof."

"OH MY GOD! Thats so cute!" Phoebe and Rachel said.

"Dude!" Joey exclaimed.

"Well, now I understand why you needed 4 people to help you with this." Ross said.

"Ya, so will you guys help?" Chandler asked.

"OF COURSE WE WILL!" They all screamed at him.

"Okay thank you guys so much! Oh Rachel I also need your help with one other thing."

"Sure, anything." Rachel said.

"Okay well could one of you stay downstairs in the lobby and make sure that Monica doesn't come up before we're done. So if she comes home from work early stall her." Chandler said to her.

"Sure, I'll take care of that." Rachel said.

"Okay, thank you guys so much for this. I really appreciate it."

The Next Night

Monica was just about to walk into the apartment building. She had gotten off of work a little later than expected, so they had enough time to get everything set up upstairs. Rachel, Phoebe, Joey and Ross were all in apartment 19. Rachel was waiting staring through the peep hole so she knew when Monica came home, and to make sure she read the note on the door.

Monica finally walked up the stairs exhausted. She was about to open the door but stopped when she looked up to see a note on it. The note read,

Dear Mon,

Go to where you and me had our first real date.

Chandler

For a second Monica just stood there processing what she just read. She had just figured out that they had their first real date on the roof. She was confused on why he wanted her to go up there. She took the note off the door and headed for the roof.

"Guys! She's going up to the roof!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Yeah! Do you think she suspects anything?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't think so." Ross said. "From what Chandler said she's been really busy at work this week so she might have even forgotten it was their anniversary."

Monica was finally at the door to the roof. She opened the door and was completely shocked and taken away by what she saw when she opened the door. There was a line of rose petals leading up to a small table which had a candle lit dinner for two on it, and around the entire roof there were vases filled with about 5 roses each. She was in complete shock and was frozen at the door. She hadn't even fully walked onto the roof yet. The only thoughts that were going through her head was why did he do all of this. And then it her. TODAY WAS THEIR ANNIVERSARY! She couldn't believe she forgot. She finally walked in and saw Chandler standing in a tux holding a bouquet of roses. At this point she was on the verge of tears.

He walked over to her and said, "Happy 9 months!" He handed her the bouquet.

"Oh my god. How did you do all of this!"

"I got some help."

"I think this is seriously the sweetest thing anyones ever done for me." At this point she was crying tears of happiness. "I feel awful though."

"What, why?"

"Because I completely forgot about today."

"I hoped you would."

"But that's not okay. I can't believe I forgot. I mean you did all of this for me and I didn't even get you anything."

"Mon, you don't need to get me anything, ever. I already have everything I want. I have you."

At this point she was crying even harder now. He leaned in and gave her a soft kiss. After pulling away he pulled into a tight hug.

"I still can't believe you did all of this." She said.

"Well, it wasn't all me. You have 4 amazing friends you have to thank later for helping me."

"Well ya I'll thank them, but your the one who planned all of it. Plus, I love you the most anyway."

"I love you too!"

He lead her over to the table and pulled out a chair for her. "Would you like to join me?"

"I would love too!"

I don't know why but I feel like this sucked. So please review and tell me what you think!
