"Grab a spoon"
· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·
The rain-soaked streets of Manhattan glistened, reflecting the gloomy sky above. Sybil James, covered with her long black trench coat, walked down the sidewalk, a black umbrella shielding her from the downpour. Her long, dark brown hair pulled back into a bun, framing her face and piercing green eyes.
She wore a fitted, high-necked burgundy sweater dress, its skirt swirling around her ankles as she quickly walked down the street. The outfit was completed by a pair of black leather ankle boots, their low heels clicking on the wet pavement.
She pushed open the door to Central Perk, shaking the rain from her umbrella. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped her, immediately lifting her mood. As she entered, she caught the tail end of a conversation:
"Sounds like a date to me." She heard Chandler say, from his spot on the arm of the couch. As the door shut it caught the attention of her friends, a chorus of "Hey!" and "Hello's" welcomed her. She smiled and made her way over to the counter to order a drink, "Hey, Sybil!" Gunther, the Central Perk manager, greeted her with a smile.
"Hey, Gunther," Sybil replied, her British accent smooth as silk. "Just a coffee, please. Black." and made her way over to the empty spot between Monica and Chandler.
"Hello, my dears." She said, pulling her hair out of the tight updo it was in and letting it fall down her back in loose waves as she fluffed her hair, rubbing away the soreness. "What are we talking about?" She asked sitting down.
Chandler picked up her coffee off the table and handed it to her after she made herself comfortable, "Nothing really. I was about to tell everyone about the dream I had last night." She shot him a grateful look as she took the hot cup from his hands. Chandler smiled down at her before returning back to what he was about to say, "So, I'm back in high school, I'm standing in the middle of the cafeteria, and I realize I am totally naked."
The others nodded along to his words in understanding, "Oh yeah, l've had that dream." Monica says. Sybil just looked at them all funny, "You guys sure have some weird dreams." she retorted before sipping from her coffee. Joey looked at her slightly offended, before turning his attention back to Chandler.
"Then I look down, and I realize there's a phone... there." He said making hand gestures. Joey looks confused for a few moments before a look of realization washes over his face, "Instead of-?" But before he can finish, Chandler cuts him off, "That's Right!"
