The party had subsided and soon after, Monica went home. 'Home. Funny how for the longest time, Home meant Apartment 20. Now it meant Richard's Apartment.' Monica thought to herself. Her thoughts were quickly abrupted when Richard started talking.
"So, Mon, any other birthday wishes?" Richard asked.
"Uhm, no, none really." Monica replied.
The tone she used did not seem to convince Richard.
"Are you sure?" Richard asked.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." Monica replied.
They got down the car and walked the stairs up to their apartment. Monica didn't fel like talking so she simply said, "I'm gonna go and sleep, got a big day tomorrow."
"Uhm , Mon, can't you just stay awake for a little bit?" Richard asked.
"Why? What for?" Monica asked.
"Well, It's for your birthday cake. You've got to blow the candles and make a wish." Richard said.
"Okay, Fine. But didn't I already do that awhile ago at the party?" Monica asked.
" I know, but, this one's from me." He said. Using a tone that if Chandler used, would make Monica want to kiss him but when Richard used it, it sounded much too fake.
"Okay, sure. Here we go" Monica said.
' I wish that I'd still be able to hang with the gang. I miss them so much' she wished and she blew the candles out.
"Happy Birthday Mon." Richard greeted.
"Thanks, Good night." Monica spoke. And with that, she headed to the bed room and fell asleep soundly.
Monica woke up the next day, without Richard beside her. Instead, she found a note. It read;
' Monica, Some client wanted an early appointment and I couldn't say no. See you tonight when I get home. Have a great day. Love, Richard.'
"Huh, so what should I do today?" Monica asked herself while scanning around the room and checking if anything needed some organizing or some cleaning.
"Nope, everything's clean." Monica said to herself feeling quite disappointed.
" I'll visit Rachel at work." And with that, she took a bath, dressed up, applied make up and left for Rachel's office.
Monica arrived in Rachel's building. She quickly went up to visit her friend. Arriving in front of her door, she knocked and called out her name.
"Rachel?" Called out Monica.
"Yes? Please come in." Rachel replied.
Monica opened the door and greeted her.
"Hi , Rache." She greeted.
"Hi Mon, what brings you here today?" Rachel asked. She was quite surprised to see her friend in her office.
"Well, I missed hanging out with you guys, I, just you know, I wanna see what you guys have been up to, I need a little catching up."
"Well, how about, you wait for me to finish up a little, I just have a little document to finish, then we'll head off to the coffee house? Everyone's there to eat a little lunch, so I jight just meet them there."
"Uhm, yeah, sure. " Monica replied as she sat down on one of the chairs in front of Rachel's
desk.
Thirty minutes passed when rachel uttered that she was done and the two friends walked to Central Perk.
When they had arrived, Phoebe was seated on the couch talking to Joey. Monica and Rachel entered and both were welcomed with 'Hey' and 'How are you?'
"Hey, Mon. Belated Happy Birthday! What brings you here?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, I was thinking of bonding with you guys a bit, I miss you guys!" Monica replied.
"Oh, Yaay. Okay, well ... " Phoebe started talking and talking. Monica tried her best to keep up. She missed this, hanging out with her friends, drinking coffee and eating muffins at Central Perk, she missed it.
A few minutes passed, Ross arrived. He greeted his sister and joined in the conversation.
The 5 friends were talking, drinking and eating all at the same time. Just like the old times.
'Just like the old times. I miss this, seeing them everyday, hanging out at Central Perk, God, I miss this. Why can't I be married an live like this?' Monica asked herself.
On the other hand, Chandler was stuck in his office. He had paperwork due tomorrow and he hasn't even started yet. He decided to stop looking at his computer monitir and rest his eyes for a bit. He looked around for a good book but found nothing but old issues of 'Sports Illustrated' . Suddenly, his eyes got glued to a picture he had kept on his table for almost 2 years. A picture of Him and Monica. They were seated on the couch at Central Perk and Monica was sitting beside Chandler with Chandler's arm draped around Monica's shoulders. He was playing with her ear as he wqhispered something to her, she responded by smiling. 'I miss this. I miss Monica, I miss being with Monica.' He thought. Realizing what he had just thought about, he got mad at himself saying, "It's time to move on, idiot. She'll never be yours ever again!" He scolded himself.
Realizing that all he probably needed was a coffee break, he decided to go to a nearby coffee shop. He crossed the street with caution and reached the other side. As he was about to enter the coffee shop, a notice was pasted on the window. "Oh, Man. On the busiest days of my life, this is what you give me? Under Renovation?" Chandler complained.
"Oh, well, I guess that mean I'll have to go to the coffee house." Chandler said, He walked and walked. He took a shortcut and passed through Central Park. Noticing a familiar bench, he said to himslef, "Bad idea, Chandler. Now you're just reminding yourself about Monica. Move on, You can do it! We are moving on." He repeated the phrase, "I'm moving on" over and over again until he reached the coffee house. He looked at the couch where his friends usual drank coffee and munched on muffins, and to his surprise, Monica sat with them too. He stared at the window in shock. 'What's Monica doing here?' he asked himself, but he couldn't figure out why. He felt his feelings for her resurface, and so he decided to just head up to his apartment and continue his work there. 'So much for moving on.' He thought as he walked up to his apartment in disappointment.
Meanwhile, Monica was staring out the window wondering when Chandler would come. She really wanted to talk to him. She saw Chandler outside, walking towards their apartment. She quuickly followed him outside, leaving her four friends puzzled on the couch. She ran towards him, but he was too far ahead and Monica couldn't run for her heels we're to thin and she was scared of tripping or breaking her ankle, so instead, she called out his name.
"Chandler, wait." She called out.
Upon hearing his name, he turned around to see who had called him, it was Monica.
