New Friends, New Family, New Forever

The Princess Leia Fantasy

{A/N: RIP Matthew Perry}

Sarah's POV:

Phoebe, Ross, and Rachel are eating breakfast in the kitchen, discussing which song is the most romantic one they've ever heard, while I'm reviewing the files for a trial I have later today.

Ross: "I have to say 'Tupelo Honey' by Van Morrison."

Rachel: "No way! The most romantic song ever is 'The Way We Were'."

Phoebe: "See, I think that one that Elton John wrote for, um, that guy on 'Who's The Boss'."

Rachel: "What song is that, Pheebs?"

Phoebe:

Hold me close, young Tony Danza

Ross: "Uh, Pheebs-"

Me: "Don't bother. I had a hard enough time explaining how the phrase is actually 'dog eat dog' and not 'doggy dog'."

Rachel chuckles before we all turn to face Monica as she leaves her bedroom with a sad look.

Phoebe: "Hi, Monica."

Rachel, Ross & I: "Hi, Mon."

Monica ignores us and walks straight into the bathroom.

Phoebe: "Oh my God, has she slept at all?"

Ross: "Nope."

Rachel: "No, it's been 3 nights in a row."

Ross: "Yeah, she finally stopped crying yesterday, but then she found one of Richard's cigar butts out on the terrace, so."

Phoebe: "Oh, ok, that explains it. I got a call at 2 in the morning, but all I could hear was, like, this high squeaky sound, so I thought, 'Ok, it's like a mouse or an opossum. But then I realized where would a mouse or an opossum get the money to make the phone call?"

Then, Janice enters the apartment to borrow some syrup for the pancakes she made for Chandler & Joey. After that, Monica exits the bathroom, holding something in her hand.

Monica: "God, look what I found in the drain."

Me: "What?"

Monica: "It's some of Richard's hair! What do I do with this?"

Ross: "Getting it away from me would be job 1."

Monica: "It's weird, but you know what? I don't wanna throw this away. I mean, this is, like, all I have left of him, gross, drain hair."

Monica drops the hairball into Ross' cereal bowl.

Phoebe: "Ooh. Oh. It looks like a tiny little person drowning in your cereal."

Ross goes over to the sink to dump the cereal down the drain.

Monica: "God, what is wrong with me?"

Ross: "You need to get some sleep."

Monica: "I need to get some Richard."

Rachel: "Monica, you broke up with him for a reason."

Monica: "I know, I know. I'm just so tired of missing him. I'm tired of wondering, 'Why hasn't he called?'. Why hasn't he called?!"

Phoebe: "Maybe because you told him not to."

Monica: "What are you, the memory woman?"
