*That afternoon*
Joey decides to go to Central perk hoping that his old friends would be there. Instead he finds Gunther at the place he always was, with streaks of gray in his blond hair and wearing a tie with pink flowers on it.
Man, things have really changed he thought. "If any of my old friends come, give them this note" Joey said giving Gunther a note saying that he was sorry for leaving them. "Alright I'll give it to one of them" Gunther says in a low voice
*LATER THAT DAY*
Joey's old friends came into Central Perk after he left to go back to apartment #19. May was sleeping in her mother's arms, Ross Jr. and Michele were aruging about something with Emma. Daniel was pestering his father for coffee(Daniel is 12 while Jack and Erica, both 14 and Sophie 13 are at home right now) "No me and your mother said you are not having coffee today" Chandler snapped at his son. He and Monica looked very tired right now with dealing with the twins' rebellious ways and raising the other 3 kids. "We could watch May and the younger 2 kids for you at night while you guys work" Rachel said happily "Oh thank you Rach" Monica said. "Perk up you two. Michele's communion is on friday night" Ross says trying to cheer them up. Ever since Joey left NYC and the birth of Daniel, Mondler could never be happy anymore(though they stil loved each other and the others very much) Chandler who used to be quite the jokester, could never crack one joke anymore. Ross and Rachel think Monica is pregnant again which is why she is acting so terrible. Besides having to do so much nowadays.
