The British Are Coming

Disclaimer: I don't own Friends, if I did it would never end!

Apartment 20

Joey and Patricia entered the apartment to smell Monica's cookies. Joey went to grab one from the bowel but Monica slapped his hand away.

"No, not now later." Monica told him and he pouted. Patricia and Joey continued their way over to the couch. Patricia joined Phoebe on the couch and Joey sat on the arm chair. Patricia showed them three cookies that she took from Monica and gave them one.

"I'm so proud of you!" Phoebe whispered.

"Yeah pick pocketing is easy." Patricia smiled and took a twenty dollar bill from her pocket. "I took this from Chandler but I'm going to give it back."

"Or you could keep it." Joey suggested.

"Well Joe you are a lot smarter than me I think I'll go with your idea!" Patricia giggled.

"Monica what you making for our fancy dinner tonight?" Phoebe asked.

"Mushroom soup for starters with homemade bread rolls. Roast beef with veg and this red wine sauce and for desert a variety of desserts." Monica told them from the kitchen.

"Mon, you really went all out." Patricia said. "I can't wait to meet Emily!"

"Well from what Ross has said she can't wait to meet you." Monica told and Patricia smiled. The phone started ringing and Monica answered it.

"Hello? Yeah she's here. Who's this? Sure you can talk to her." Monica said into the phone and handed it to Patricia.

Patricia worried about who was on the end of the phone. She could feel little beads of perspiration form on her forehead when she accepted the phone. She got up from the couch and moved over to the kitchen.

"Hello?" Patricia said.

"Hey Patricia its Kendall." A teenage boy said.

Patricia sighed in relief hearing that it was her older brother Derek's best friend.

(Kendall is the bold)

Hey Kendall!

Where the hell are you? You had me, Derek and Jessica worried sick.

I'm at my cousin's Monica's apartment in Manhattan.

Well I miss you and you're cooking! Your brother is here. He wants to talk to you. Will I put him on?

I miss you too. Yeah put him on.

(Derek is the bold)

Hey baby sister!

You sound chirpy.

Well I haven't talked to you since you ran away. I miss you. Come home.

I miss you too. I don't know. I don't want to go home. We shouldn't have to put up with that crap at home.

I know I want to be a Doctor not a teacher.

And all the volunteer work they do just seem helpful they don't care!

I have to go I'll try my best to get into contact with you again.

Ok tell Jessica I miss her. I love you. Bye.

Love you too. Bye.

Patricia hung up and put the phone back.

"Who was that?" Rachel asked.

"Kendall and Derek." Brona replied.

Chandler came in. "Hey did any of ye see a twenty dollar bill?"

Phoebe and Patricia exchanged looks. "No."

"Most have lost it then." Chandler said. "So when should I call Paul Revere to shout 'the British are coming the British are coming!'"

There was a knock on the door and Monica got up to get it. She opened the door to reveal Ross and Emily.

"Hello." Monica smiled.

"Sorry we're late we got held up." Emily told her.

"Don't worry you're not late." Monica reassured her.

"Hey guys!" Ross called and went over and got Patricia and brought her over to Emily. "Emily, Patricia. Patricia, Emily."

"It's so good to meet you." Emily smiled.

"Like wise. Ross has told me so many lovely things about you." Brona told her.

Dinner

"This roast is divine Monica!" Emily declared.

"Do you know what else is divine? Ross' personality." Chandler said in a monotone voice.

"Yes Chandler, that is so true." Patricia agreed and sneaked a sneak peak at her cards Ross gave her. "And Ross, athletic Ross could have had a career of basketball but no he stuck with palaeontology."

"Oh really?" Emily asked.

"Yes, he mentions it every time we watch a Knicks match." Joey told her.

"Ross was always a great brother." Monica said.

"Why are you all talking in the same monotone? It's like ye all rehearsed this or something." Emily asked.

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Monica dessert!" Ross said.

"Dessert! Yes dessert!" Monica announced.

After Dessert

Ross looked at Patricia who was out on the balcony. "Guys I'm going to check on her."

"Here Ross let me talk to her." Emily offered.

"Are you sure?" Ross asked.

"Positive." Emily replied and headed out onto the balcony. It was oddly cold. "Would you like to come in its frightfully cold?"

"No I just need to think." Patricia told her and Emily came over to her.

"Penny for your thoughts." Emily said.

"I was just thinking about home and my friends. It'd true friends are family you chose yourself." Patricia admitted.

"Ross told me you ran away from home."

"Yeah, I couldn't stand it."

"You know I ran away from home once."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it didn't go well though."

"Why?"

"They found me on the third day. I guess hiding in your back garden wasn't the place."

Patricia and Emily shared a laugh.

"Do you mind me asking why you ran away?"

"No of course not. I ran away because of my step-mother she's a spiteful, demanding women all together."

"Tell me about it."

"We have actually a lot in common."

"Yeah. Thank you Emily."

"No problem, now come in before you catch the flu."

Emily put her arm around Patricia as they walked to the window.

"Oh and Emily. You make Ross very happy."

Clean up Time

"So what do you think of Emily?" Monica asked as she washed the dishes.

"She's nice, I really like her." Patricia responded as she gathered up all the dirty dishes.

"That's good. Phoebe said you wrote a song." Rachel said.

"Yeah it's a Phoebe style song. We're going to sing it tomorrow at the coffee house." Patricia informed them.

"Can't wait. Hey I'm going to work tomorrow so Joey is going to mind you." Monica told her.

"He's going to mind me or I'm going to mind him?" Patricia joked.

"Yes." Monica and Rachel replied.

A/N: Hey guys! I apologise because not a lot happened but don't fear there will be more happening soon. I'll try to update soon. Please review they make me smile!
