WHOviangirl0508 - Haha, thanks, I tried :)

MeganLucy26 - Seriously? I completely mixed that up :O I was just reading some of the unscripted lines for that episode and saw her name written under Courteney Cox Arquette, so I just thought that she already got married. Maybe she didn't...Oh well, it is what it is.

alexr301 - YOU'RE WELCOME! I LOVE YOU TOO!

TOW146 - Thanks! I'm planning to :)

Prof-the F.R.I.E.N.D.S fanatic - Wow, you literally made me smile at my phone when I read that. Thank God I'm alone or people would think I was weird. In other words, that means a lot, thanks :)

cvlax14 - Thank you sooo much for your review!

hugefriendsfan00 - I thought it was pretty cute too, thanks!

miacarretto17 - Thanks, hope you still want to read more after this chapter

Guest - I'll try not to :) I think I will continue...I kinda like Matteney

I want to thank everyone who gave this story a chance and read the past chapters.

Disclaimer: This chapter is all about The One After Vegas. Once again, bold words and the lines that follow are from the episode, they aren't mine. Sadly.

1999

Walking around the set of Friends for the second day in a row, feeling strange that the Central Perk walls and furniture were still gone in place of the Vegas casino. The six main characters took their places and went through a few lines before the audience filled the seats and they had to get ready.

"Do you guys remember before the very first episode how Marta and David had us all go to Vegas to get to know each other better?" Jen asked, as the memory came rushing back.

David nodded standing beside her "Yeah then Matt stopped once he lost five bucks." He laughed

"Hey, I will have you know that I only had 11 bucks starting this show. I'm not ready to go back on that train." Matt pointed out

Lisa smiled "Don't worry, I would have stopped too." She patted his back

"Thanks Kudrow." Matt smiled then turned back to David and Jennifer "I was better than Courteney, all she did was play slots." He tried to argue

David and Jen nodded, knowing he was right.

Lisa shook her head before leaving them and going over to where Courteney and Matthew talked with Kevin Bright at the edge of the set in the casino.

"Just be sure that you get to the elevator right before the doors open so you are right on cue."

"But the elevator doesn't move..." Matthew pointed out "So why don't we just press the button and BAM there's the guy."

"Yes, but we don't want you to press the button, we want it to just come. Like fate."

"God Matthew, making things difficult." Courteney muttered softly

Kevin Bright tried to remind them of things that they were struggling to get right.

"And Lisa," He saw her come over "Remember that when you say your line 'No, we were talking about tennis. Tennis is more believable.'" He repeated the line "If you don't feel that the audience is responding as much as we planned, then we can change it. But let Marta know because we can't hear their reaction as well as you probably can." He told her "But that's not til later so I think we'll be good. By then the audience will be warmed up."

She nodded "Yeah, that's with the table scene and the buffet, right?" She remembered and he nodded "Okay, I'll listen for that."

Later into the show the audience was all warmed up and laughing as hard as ever at the jokes.

Monica: Wait a minute. That wasn't a hard eight! Last night I rolled a hard eight.

Courteney and Matthew were at the side of the craps table.

Chandler: That's right! It was the wrong kind of eight, no wedding! Damnit!

Monica: I wanted it so bad!

She paused

Monica: Wanna go pack?

Chandler: Yeah.

They go and pack

Chandler: We're doing the right thing, right?

Monica: Ohh, of course we are!

They walk up to the elevators.

Monica: We left it up to fate. If we were supposed to get married there would be a clear-cut sign.

They sat there and waited for the doors to open but they never did.

"What now?" Matthew whispered to Courteney who chuckled. He faced the door "She said 'A clear-cut sign'!" He yelled, wondering if it was automatic like that. Knocking he waited again before turning to the Directors "Kevin...is this fate?"

Courteney let go of his hand and walked a few feet away, laughing.

Matt Leblanc walked over to them, pressed the button and walking away again.

The elevator doors opened to reveal a priest reading from a bible.

Matthew threw his hands up. "Unbelievable!" He looked over at Kevin "You said not to press the button."

"Sorry, my mistake." He shouted back.

They took it back and started all over.

As the elevator doors opened this time, with Courteney pressing the button, they stood there with shocked faces.

It wasn't long before one of them turned into a grin.

Matthew points at Courteney then at the Director.

Courteney puts her head in her hands as her smile comes out.

She hits his hand away and smiles.

The audience laughs with them.

"Okay cut! We will then take it to Cox and Perry's scene, coming back from London in a few." David Crane announced

They all went back stage and changed wardrobe as the entertainment kept the folks busy with some karaoke.

Matthew followed Courteney "You broke." He grinned

"I wouldn't have if you didn't point at me with that accusing smirk on your face." She argued

"What smirk?" Matthew tried not to smile like he had no idea what she was talking about.

"That one!" She pointed to his face as they stopped in front of her door.

Matthew shook his head "I don't know what you're talking about." He walked down the hall to where his dressing room was.

Courteney smiled and closed her door to change.

Monica: That kid really kicked me hard on the plane.

Courteney limped up to apartment 20 with her arm around Matthew

Chandler: Well you did pull his hair.

Monica: He took my snack!

Matthew let go of her

Chandler: I'm not getting into this again!

Monica: Okay! Oh God, y'know what? It's really bad.

Chandler: Well, I told you not to walk. Here.

He picked her up

Chandler: There. Okay.

Matthew then opens the door, carries her across the threshold, stops, backs out, and lets go of Courteney who is only holding on by his neck.

Monica: This doesn't mean anything, does it?

Chandler: No!

Monica: Okay.

Courteney hung onto Matthew's neck as he walked through the door.

"Cut!"

Right when the Director yelled Courteney dropped from his body and grinned.

They walked off stage and behind the camera.

Grabbing a drink, she looked up at him "I wasn't too heavy for you was I?"

"I could carry you everyday." He winked in a playful tone.

Courteney smiled as they walked away and over to where Jennifer and Lisa stood at craft service before they continued their show.

Not much with this chapter but the next one will be a lot better I promise!

...okay, I don't want to promise only because if you turn out not to like it I would be lying to you and I don't wanna lie..

I moved this chapter around so many times and then I just thought of this so hopefully it's not too bad of a chapter. Review and I'll work on the next one soon.
