TOW they meet up part 2

"What?", Ben said.

"Yeah. You heard me. A break from US.", she replied.

"Well, this sounds familiar.", he thought.

"You know what. FINE. Call me when you want to talk.", he said before hanging up.

"Look DAD. I'm not in the mood to eat. Can we just go?!", he yelled angrily.

Ross and Rachel looked at each other.

"What's up with Ben?", Rachel said as they all walked out of their house.

"I don't know. I'll talk to him when we get to Central Perk."

It took them about and hour to get there, because of all the morning traffic. Ben stayed quiet in the car... Both Rachel and Ross were worried. As they got out of the car, Ross grabbed his son's shoulder.

"Can we talk?", he said before his son goes into Central Perk.

"I'm fine, dad." he said.

"No you are not. Come on. Talk to me Ben.", he convinced.

"OK. OK."

The father and the son sat down on the bench.

"Lucy and I had a fight last night...", he started.

"Oh. What happened?"

"Lucy wants a break... from us.", he said with tears in his eyes.


"Monicaaaaaaaaaaaaa!",Rachel yelled happily.

"Racheeeeeel!", she replied in the same tone as she runs to her.

"Hi aunt Monica.", Erica said politely.

"Hi there Erica!", Monica said.

Rachel walked in the coffee shop and sat down next to Monica. Gunther looked at Rachel.

"She is so beautiful... even after 10 years...", he thought.

"Hey Gunther!", she said, smiling.

"Why did I even marry Amy?", he thought.

"Hey Rachel. Want anything to drink?", he asked.

"Sure. A cup of green tea please would be good." she answered.


"What? Why?", he asked.

"I don't know... I didn't do anything wrong.", Ben said, putting his hands on his face.

"You know... this happened to be me and your mom when we were dating...", he joked.

"Oh! Now I remember!", Ben thought.

"Not a good time to make jokes, dad!", he said.

"Alright. Alright. Look, everything is going to be fine. It will all work out."

"Yeah. But what if it doesn't?", his son asked.

"I don't know, Ben... I don't know...", Ross replied, remembering all he had to go trough before he and Rachel really got together and got married.


A day before their meet up, Joey, Andrea and their daughter had to take the plane to be at Central Perk on time. Joey knows that Monica doesn't like it when he's late and not prepared.

"Andrea! Time to go!", Joey said as he got in the living room.

"Coming! I'm getting Lea ready!"

"Alright!", he said, sitting on the couch.

He took a little blue box out of his pocket. A wedding ring. Joey thought about it a few days ago. He thought that since they both love and enjoy being with each other... They might as well get married. The right was made with silver with a heart made with sapphire.

"I hope she likes it.",he thought.

He quickly placed the ring back in his pocket as soon as he hears her high heels on the floor. They got on to Central Perk just in time for the meet up.

"Thank god, we got here on time! Monica would kill me!", he said in relief.

He opened up the door to let his daughter and Andrea, when he saw someone running to him.

"She looks familiar... Where do I know her from?"

As they entered Central Perk, Joey hugged Chandler.

"Hey there buddy!", Chandler said as he hugged him back and tapped on his back.

"Hey Amy!", Gunther exclaimed before kissing his wife.

"AMY?!", Joey said, letting Chandler go, confused that Gunther just kissed Amy.

"Hey... You... Italian guy that I don't remember... Jonathan?", she said, looking at him weirdly.

"It's Joey, Amy.", Rachel commented.

"Nope... I'm pretty sure it's Jonathan..."

Joey looked at Chandler and Monica. Again, they had a telepathic conversation.

"You didn't invite her right?", Joey said.

"We'll we invited Gunther. So basically she is invited too...", Chandler replied.

"What?! She doesn't have anything to do with Gunther."

"Actually she does. Gunther married Amy.", Monica said.

"WHAT?!"

Monica and Chandler mouthed the word "Sorry".

"Well... this is great. She is going to comment about my wedding and stuff.", he thought with disgust.

"I have to go to the groceries to get all the stuff for tonight! See ya", Monica said as she got up.

Ross and Ben came in when Monica got out. They said hi and hugged like everybody else did.

After they all had a good talk, Joey pulled his good friends to the bathroom to announce that he will propose to Andrea at the Thanksgiving dinner.

"Monica will say that you stole her thunder.", Chandler joked.

Ross punched him lightly.

"Shut up, Chandler. Don't listen to him. This is going to be great!", Ross exclaimed, happy to be part of a wedding again.

"Keep it as a secret okay? I don't want anyone else to know about this.", Joey said.

Monica called Chandler a bit later after Joey's announcement.

"Hey babe. What's up?", Chandler said.

"I got all the stuff. Bring the gang to the apartment.", she replied.

"Gotcha."

Chandler told his friends and their kids to come with him. As soon as they got in front of the apartment building.

"Uh... Chandler? What are we doing here?", Ross asked.

"We are having the party at OUR apartment."

The friends got all excited to be back in the apartment. They never knew that they would ever see the apartment ever again.

"Wow. This brings up so many memories!", Joey exclaimed.

"Yeah! Remember the cheesecake, Chandler?", Rachel asked.

"Of course I do! It was the best cheesecake that I ever tasted!", he said.

Monica opened the door. Everyone was amazed about how the apartment looked after 10 years.

"Always the same colour as before huh?", Joey said.

"Oh guys! Remember the nigh of the blackout?", Phoebe said laughing.

"Yeah...", they all said in unison.

They all sat down on the couch watching an old Spanish series while Monica and Mike were making the dinner.

"I say she should push her down the stairs.", Chandler affirmed.

"Push her down the stairs! Push her down the stairs!", the friends yelled out.

Jack, Emma, Erica, Lea and Patrick sat on the kitchen table playing Monopoly. They got along pretty well. Ben on the other hand was outside in the porch. He was thinking about Lucy.

"Maybe I really don't deserve her...", he thought.


"The turkey is ready! And for Chandler, your Mac and cheese is ready!"

They all smiled as they remembered Chandler's Thanksgiving story. What a great time they had before they all had kids. They all sat down and started eating. They talked about how things were going with their kids. Telling stories about them and laughed. Amy and Joey started fighting about him eating alot.

"It's going to make you fat, Jonathan!"

"It's J-O-E-Y! I don't care! I'm curvy and I like it!"

To calm all the madness going on, Phoebe got her guitar out and started to sing Smelly Cat. Everyone knew the song by heart and sang along. Except the kids, they were just sitting there watching their parents being weird. Later that night, while they were all watching a movie. Chandler and Ross shot a look at Joey. For the first time, he understood immediately. It was time for him to propose to Andrea.

"Hey guys! I have something I want to say.", he said as he closed the TV.

He got on one knee in front on Andrea and said:

"Andrea? I know that we never thought about getting married in the first place, but I want you to know that you make me happier than food does. You are so beautiful and sweet. You are the best mom ever. All I want do to is to take care of you for the rest of my life. Andrea, Will you marry me?"

All the girls were surprised. They couldn't believe that Joey would get married one day. Chandler and Ross smiled. They are so proud of their friend. This was a big step for Joey. He was always the womanizing type of guy until he met Andrea in LA.

A few minutes passed by... Not a single sound. They all exchanged looks. Worried, they had another telepathic conversation... (I like making them talk like that... It's funny! haha)

"She is not going to say know right?", Monica said.

"Maybe she is just in shock...", Phoebe extimated.

"I think she is going to say no...", Rachel affirmed.

"I bet you 10 bucks that she is going to say yes.", Ross challenged his wife.

"Could you guys BE more supportive?", Chandler said in a sarcastic tone.

Finally, Andrea looked at Joey, who was still on his knee...

"Joey, honey, get up.", she finally said.

The tension in the room started to raise. They all thought that she was going to say yes.

"Not until you answer me.", Joey insisted.

"Joey..."

Joey looked at her in the eyes. Hoping that she would say yes.

"Uh-oh. Joey is doing his eye thing.", Chandler whispered.

"I can't marry you.", she said as she ran out with Lea.
