Chandler POV:
I woke up to the sound of the door being opened. Joey dove under the duvet.
"I'm getting married today!!" It's Ross, over excited once again about his wedding day.
"Morning Ross." He's so excited he doesn't notice that Joey's bed is empty, and there's a lump under my duvet.
"I'm getting married to-day!!" He continues
"Yeah you are!" I try to match his excitement, but I'm too tired.
"Woo Hoo!!" He leaves the room and closes the door. Joey comes back up from under the duvet.
"He had no idea I was under there! Or that my bed was empty..." Joey says.
"He's too excited." I state. I climb out of bed, as does Joey.
"We should get ready," I tell him. "Ross will kill us if we're late."
Joey nods in agreement. I head for the bathroom and he goes back to his bed to get dressed. A few minutes later, I've finished in the shower and Joey's gone, probably to get food. I leave the bathroom and get ready for the wedding.

Fast forward time, Ross said Rachel instead of Emily. He really fucked that up. Rachel also decided to come to London, which seemed like good news at first, but then we found out she was coming to tell Ross she loved him. Turns out she didn't tell him. She's been bugging everyone, asking for their opinions on what they thought it meant when Ross said her name. We all said it didn't mean anything. She's not convinced. Joey and I searched everywhere for a place to have sex, but no where was good. Rachel was in our room, talking to Phoebe on the phone. Monica was in her room, watching a film and we tried the honeymoon suit, but Ross barged in on us kissing, but didn't notice. He was looking for Emily, who ran away through the bathroom window. Me and Joey are both on the honeymoon suite bed, with Ross fast asleep across both of us.
"We have to leave for our flight in an hour." I tell Joey.
"I know. What are we gonna do?"
"I say we go for it." I say, referring to having sex.
"That's crazy! A - he could wake up," he said, talking about Ross. "And B - you know, let's go for it."
We both start to manoeuvre out from underneath sleeping Ross. We successfully do it, and walk over to Joey and kiss him. I start to undo his tie, but there's a knock at the door.
"Oh my god what now??" I say, frustrated. Ross jumps up, completely unaware of me and Joey in the room.
"Emily? Emily!" He says, and runs to do the door. It's just Emily's parents. They have come to collect her stuff. They tell Ross that Emily's gone into hiding, and doesn't want to see him ever again. So much for the 'no divorce' plan.
____________________
We're all back from London. The plane ride was long, and I was sitting next to Joey the entire time. We were both sad that we couldn't have sex one more time. Ross went back to his place to unpack. He was supposed to be on his honeymoon, but Emily didn't show up. He decided to go with Rachel instead, but Emily showed up and he ran after her, abandoning Rachel on a plane to Greece. He feels awful. Joey and I are at Monica's apartment a few days later.
"Hey phoebe!" We greet her.
"Hey, you're back!" She replies. We both hug her. She looks at Joey.
"You ate meat!" She exclaimed. Joey tried to act like he didn't, but he admitted it.
"You had sex!" She pointed at me.
"Yeah, with some girl at the wedding! Why should that matter??" I panic. How did she know??!
"I think this pregnancy is giving me some super power or something." She guesses and sits down on the couch. I get out some cereal and sit down at the table. Joey sits to my left, and Monica to my right. Ross enters the apartment.
"Is Rachel back yet?" He asks.
"No, not yet," Monica tells him. "Her plane left a few hours ago. But really, she should be here by now."
"Really? So you spoke to her?" Ross was feeling bad about abandoning Rachel still. "Did she seem mad?"
"No, but she likes me." Monica says. "You abandoned her on a plane to Greece."
"I did not abandon Rachel." He starts. "Emily showed up, I had to go after her. I mean, she's my wife. Rachel is my wife."
We all look at him, and then he realises his mistake.
"EMILY! Emily is my wife. God, what is that?" He keeps mixing up the names 'Rachel' and Emily'. The apartment door opens again and Rachel comes in, with her suitcase.
"Hey everyone!" She says cheerfully.
"Hey Rachel!" We match her cheerful voice. Ross runs over to her.
"Rachel, I am so, so sorry. You have every right to be mad at me."
"I'm not mad at you," she says. "Emily showed up! She's your wife, you just did what you had to do." She pats him on the arm and heads to her room.
"But Rach, it must have been terrible-" Ross tries to say.
"Terrible? Hell, I was in Greece! Met the nice people, went to the beach, not to shabby for Rachel!" She says.
"So you're really not mad?" Ross says.
"No, Ross. It's fine."
"Thank you, Rachel, thank you," he says, happier now. "I've gotta go, no one is gonna tell me where Emily is, so I'm sending her 72 long stemmed red roses, one for each day I have known and loved her." He leaves. Rachel talks about how her time in Greece was not amazing, and that she hated it. Monica is now in charge of her love life. I realise the time and stand up.
"Right, I'm off to work." I lean over and kiss Joey, and once we break apart, I realise what I've done. Rachel and Phoebe and Monica are all staring at us. I panic and can't think of anything to do. So I do something stupid.
"And Rachel, glad to have you back," I lean in a kiss her. I pull away and she looks confused. I go with it.
"Monica, thanks for having me over!" I go over and kiss her too. She looks equally confused. I pray this works.
"Phoebs!" I go over to the couch and kiss her too. I leave the apartment, happy that that worked.

After a long day at work, I finally arrive home. I open the door to mine and Joey's apartment, and I see Joey sitting in his chair.
"Hey." I say, causing him to get up out of his chair and walk over to me.
"Hey." He replies. I close the distance between us and kiss him. I've really missed not being able to see him all day. We break apart to catch our breaths.
"What took you so long?" Joey asks me.
"I got caught up at work. But I'm quitting tomorrow!" I say as we go into another kiss. It feels so good. I never want to leave him again. Just as I'm thinking this, Rachel and Monica walk into our apartment. We pull apart.
"Joey needed practice for an audition," I say as calm as possible.
"Yeah, it's tomorrow and I was worried about having to kiss this guy." Joey backs me up. We're both very calm and it seems to work.
"Okay...We came over to tell you that we're going somewhere for a picnic all day at the weekend, because Phoebe's feeling left out about the whole London thing," Monica informs us. "Any ideas of where to go?"
"How about the park?" I suggest.
"Perfect! We'll meet you guys at the coffee house in a half-hour to tell her." They leave us alone. I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding in. I turn to face Joey.
"So what should we do for the next half hour?" I ask.
"Well I was kinda hoping we could pick up where we left off in London?" He says hopefully. I look at him. He's so fucking cute. I can't help but smile at him.
"Okay!" I say and stride back towards him and kiss him.
____________________
We have sex again, this time I'm on top. It's better than the 5 times we did it in London. We're both in Joey's bedroom, lying under a sheet.
"That was..." I start.
"...Incredible" Joey finishes. It's almost time to meet up with our friends and tell phoebe about our Central Park picnic idea.
"We should probably get dressed," I tell Joey.
"Yeah, that's an idea." He agrees. I head back to my room and throw some clothes on. We're both ready to leave a few minutes later. We're about to leave when I stop.
"Joey?" I ask.
"Yeah?"
"Am I...a bad person?" I don't know where this is coming from.
"A bad person? No! Why would you think that?" He tells me.
"I don't know, it's just, I've hated my dad all my life for who he is, and now I've become him..."
"Because you're having sex with a guy, you think that you're your dad?" He asks. "Chandler, that's ridiculous! You're not married, you don't have a child, and, let's face it, I'm the best sex you ever had." Joey tells me. I laugh at that last comment.
"How would you know who the best sex I ever had is?" I ask him playfully.
"Oh come on, all of those girls are nothing compared to me. Didn't you forget? I'm Joey Tribbiani!" He replies, matching my playful tone.
"Yeah, well that's true." I admit. We leave the apartment and head downstairs to the coffee house. Everyone is already there, except Phoebe.
"What took you guys so long?" Monica asks us.
"Well there was a really exciting film on the TV, and we got distracted." Joey says.
"Really? What was it?" Rachel asks. God, why did they have to be so interested.
"Die Hard." Joey and I both say. I'm so thankful for how similar we are.
"Okay," they all seem satisfied with our answer. "Phoebe should be here soon." Monica tells us.
____________________
Turns out Phoebe hates the Central Park idea, and we had to come up with a new one. Ross suggests Atlantic City. It sounds great, so we agree to spend the weekend there. Joey and I are already packed, and we head over to Monica and Rachel's apartment, where everyone else is.
"Atlantic City, baby!" Phoebe says, high-fiving Joey as he walks in. Phoebe starts to say something else, and stops suddenly. Something starts to leak out from under her dress, and Ross, Joey and I all step back, confused.
"Uh, Pheebs, you're leakin'!" Joey points out.
"Phoebe, your water broke!" Monica exclaims. Ross, Joey and I all understand now, and relax.
"Oh, well," she says. "I call shotgun!"
"No no, pheebs, the babies are coming now! We've got to get you to the hospital!" Ross tells her. We all high five for different things, and leave the apartment. Joey and I hang back.
"Isn't it great that Phoebe is gonna have her babies?" Joey asks me.
"Yeah, it's amazing and beautiful..." I trail off as I turn back to Joey and kiss him.
"Isn't it weird," I say as we break for air. "That I had to kiss Monica, Phoebe and Rachel every time they saw us kissing?"
"I know, I don't know how they buy it as a 'European goodbye thing'." Joey says. I Pull him in for another kiss.
"Do you think we'll have enough time to...y'know...?" I ask.
"Yeah, you don't last that long in bed anyway." Joey replies playfully.
"Hey!" I'm offended, but not enough to put me off sex completely. We both head into our apartment to have sex.
