Me, Myself, and You (Monchel)

Rachel moves in.

______________________________________

Rainy day in Manhattan.

So... lonely...

Monica, reading a book, and sitting by her apartment window, is feeling a mix of emotions, and somehow, she is oblivious of what or why it's happening.

"...Took her by the hand and guided her..."

Monica mutters the words she's reading from the book, her face slowly and slightly flushes from the paragraphs of the book.

"I want a love like this. But... when...?"

She talks to herself, she sighs hopelessly as she overthinks about getting the love of her life.

Suddenly, a knock was heard.
Monica gets startled, she turns to the door and looks over.
She sets her feet down and slowly stands up, putting the book on the seat she was sitting on.
She walks to the door and opens it, stepping aside for the person coming in.

"Hey!"

Monica smiles at Ross, standing by the door.
Ross smiles back at Monica.

"Hey, Monica."

"Hey! So uh..."

She clears her throat and dusts herself off, gaining her composure.

"Hope you didn't bring someone. Again."

Ross chuckles.

"Hahah... why? Am I not allowed to bring someone?"

"Well, if your new girlfriend's not any trouble..."

"Yes, indeed, my new girlfriend's here with me."

Monica raises her eyebrows, amused by his reply.
She puts her hands on her hips and looks around Ross.

"Oh? And where is she?"

A shoulder-length, blonde-haired woman comes out behind Ross, slightly flipping her hair.

"She is here."

The woman says, giggling and giving a soft smile.

Monica was taken by surprise, her old best friend from highschool shows up and directly at her face, but as her brother's girlfriend.
Monica widens her eyes.

"Rachel?"

Rachel smiles at Monica and approaches her, she spreads her arms out wide to give her a big embrace.

"Hi Monica!"

Rachel says happily and cheerfully, she gets close to Monica and wraps her arms around her, slightly rocking her left and right.

"Woah-"

Monica widens her eyes from Rachel's sudden action, and so her cheeks form a soft blush.

"Hey! It's like I haven't seen you in forever."

Monica wraps her arms around Rachel too, hugging her back.

"Oh, you know it, babygirl."

Rachel teases, patting her back and pulling her away from the hug, she tilts her head and gives her a warm smile, her hands resting on her arms.

Monica takes a small step back, her cheeks are now pink.
She smiles back at Rachel before looking back at Ross.

"Are you guys staying to hang out? Dinner? Sleepover?"

Ross chuckles.

"Well, I'll need to ask you a favor."

Monica raises an eyebrow, her curiosity slowly rising.
