A week went by and Chandler saw him in Daniel. He kept on wondering if Monica saw it too. A part of him hoped she didn't, but an even bigger part hoped she did. He really wanted to be part of that family. He just wished that Monica wouldn't get hurt in the process.
Chandler was at work as he thought about Monica and how much it was going to be hard for him to have a date with her. Then it hit him.
He quickly dialed up Rachel's number and waited impatiently for her to pick up.
"Hello this is Rachel." She answered
"Hey Rach it's Chandler..." He continued with telling her his plan for tonight.
Monica just got off work and was about to pick up Daniel when Rachel called her "Hey Mon it's me. I hope you don't mind but ever since you got into town I hardly had time to spend with Daniel. So I picked him up after school and we are at the museum right now. Don't worry, he remembers me." She smiled
This whole sudden arrangement took Monica by surprise "Okay. Um...if he needs anything you call."
"Will do." Rachel smiled looking over at Daniel.
Monica hung up and just as she put her phone away it rang again, "Hello?" She answered
"Hey it's Chandler. I was wondering what you were doing tonight?"
Monica walked down that street back to her house "Well nothing now. Rachel just picked up Daniel."
Chandler smiled as he heard that. So far his plan was going good. "Great, do you want to have dinner with me tonight?" He asked
Monica danged with her keys at her doorstep before walking in "Sure, I guess. What time?"
Chandler looked at the clock that read 4:00 "Say around 8:00 I'll pick you up?"
"Sounds good." She was about to hang up when she needed to ask one last question "Wait." She stopped him "Should I wear something nice, or does the restaurant have a play ground?"
Chandler laughed at her joke "Something nice, definitely." He smiled
At 7:30 Chandler was standing on her doorstep. He was really early, he knew that. But he couldn't wait any longer. He took a breath before knocking on her door.
When she answered he began "I know I'm early but-" He stopped when he looked at her "Wow, you look...wow."
Monica smiled "Thanks." blushing slightly at his words. "I'm almost ready." She told him stepping aside so he could come in.
"You mean there's more to your outfit?" He joked "You look perfect already." He told her
"Thanks, but I actually needed to grab my wrap." She said walking to her room to retrieve it.
As they pulled up to the restaurant in the cab Chandler helped Monica out. "Here we are."
The walked in and saw people waiting to be seated. Chandler went up to the front desk "Table for two please."
The man looked on his computer "That will be a two hour wait."
"A two hour wait!" Chandler said "How long does it take for two people to eat?"
"I'm sorry Sir."
Chandler nodded and looked back at Monica "I'm sorry I didn't make reservations." He apologized
"Don't worry about it." She assured him
Chandler grabbed her hand and they walked out going down the street.
"Where are we going now?" She asked
Chandler tried to walk faster.
"Chandler I'm in heals." She tried to keep pace with him.
Monica let go of his hand causing him to stop. She took off her shoes before continuing any farther. "Better?"
Monica nodded "Much."
Surprisingly for being a Friday night not too many people were on the street.
"Where are we going?"
"Come on we're gonna be late." Chandler crossed the street to where no cars were at. He saw the street lights start to turn on and the sky dim.
They came up to a building that was huge.
"Chandler what are we doing here?" She asked
Chandler looked at the lock. "Okay hop up." He put his fingers together.
"This is someone else's property." She reminded him.
"Yeah? No one is here." He said
Monica sighed and looked around before placing her foot on Chandler's hand and climbing over the fence. Once on the other side Chandler climbed over and took her hand once more.
They rushed to the bushes and walked through.
"If we get caught I don't speak English, and you're deaf." She said quietly
"We won't get caught."
They came to a pathway and walked down it.
Monica looked around "Oh my God." She saw the bushes and trees covered in lights "It's beautiful." She said as they walked further down the path and the lights started to turn on.
Chandler smiled "Just like you."
Monica blushed and looked over at him. "You're so wonderful."
Chandler shrugged "I try."
As the path came to an end Monica was ready to turn around but Chandler stopped her. "This way."
They walked through the grass up the hill. Chandler already set out a blanket and had a basket ready. "What's this?"
"Dinner." Chandler answered sitting down
Monica smiled as she took the seat next to him.
They got out the bottle of wine and the grilled cheese sandwiches. "This is your idea of a fancy meal?"
"The one and only." Chandler took a bite and looked down the hill at the crowd of people on the other side of the fence.
"What are they waiting for?" Monica asked
"The same thing we are."
She looked over at him wondering what he meant by that.
As the night got darker and the air got colder they scooted closer to one another. "So what is going on?" She asked seeing as the people were still there.
Chandler smiled "Well..." He wasn't able to finish when the show began.
Monica's eyes grew wide.
The laser beams shined through the sky and the soft music played. Monica watched as a few gathered together to make a shape. And a few others came their way before going back to the audience down below.
"Chandler this is amazing." She said softly.
Chandler looked down at her resting against his arm "I'm glad you like it."
Monica looked up at his eyes.
Chandler slowly leaned down just a few inches.
"Hey!"
They broke apart and looked to their right where a bright light was flashing in their eyes "What are you doing here?" He asked
Chandler quickly got up with Monica leaving their things behind. They ran down the hill and through the path to the still locked gate.
"Hurry." Chandler put his hands together as Monica climbed over.
Monica's dress got stuck before she reached the bottom.
Chandler climbed up after her and tried to release it.
"Chandler." Monica panicked as the officer neared them.
Chandler yanked the dress causing it to rip. He then jumped down. "Jump."
"What? Are you crazy."
"Jump I'll catch you."
Monica looked back at the officer which was now twenty feet away.
Monica took a deep breath and jumped.
Chandler caught her and put her down. They both quickly ran back home as the officer was stopped by the locked gate.
Okay, how was that for cheesy? Please review. I will have more coming soon! Yay :)
