FRIENDS 'TIL THE END

Chapter 1- Introductions

Joey's Pov
I opened my eyes. It was finally the day. The day...About three years ago, I got the call I was optimistic about. The call that determined whether my career (acting) would last. The call that was from the Warners Brothers. I got the part!! That was the best day of my life, but taking this role had a small catch... I had to move all the way to Mexico and wouldn't be able to see any of my friends until two years later. Call me selfish, but I always felt hurt in the group. All of them had boyfriends/girlfriends except for me. Ross had Rach, Pheebs had Mike and Mon had Chandler. I kind of always felt like the seventh wheel (if that's a thing??). So, I took the job! Today's the day I finally get to travel back to New York and meet my friends. I can't wait to see the look on their faces...

Rachel's Pov:
I looked around the empty room. Ross and I moved in the most gorgeous house, here in Manhattan. Ross had taken 6 year old Emma to the park.I glanced at the fridge. There was a note from Ross. 'Meet me in the planetarium at 3:00pm sharp.' I just couldn't help thinking that this was it or was it? I had no time to further in on this thought. It was already 12:45pm. I had only 1 hour 15 minutes to get ready! I rushed to my room.

Time Lapse
I come out of my room wearing my most stunning violet sequin dress. I had saved this for a special occasion and today was one. I take my Lexus and go to the Planetarium. When I arrive, I notice the door is open and my curiosity takes the better of me. I go inside and the whole place is filled with eye-catching white lilies (my favourite flowers). I was already welling up. I told myself it's too soon to say anything. Just 2 milliseconds later, Ross appears in his finest suit. He didn't say anything. He came to the centre of the room where I was standing and kissed me. I saw something sparkling behind him. It was the stars. It was forming the words 'Will you marry me, Rachel Greene??' I hadn't noticed until now that Ross had gone down in one knee and he pulled out the most amazing 17 carat diamond ring and said 'Rachel, I have loved you since I set eyes on you. I think it's pretty obvious to say that I can't imagine my life without you. You're the reason I'm the Ross right now. So, will you marry me, Rachel Greene?'  I started to cry. I had gone through this proposal millions of times in my head over the past few years and never once was it this perfect. I said through muffled voice 'Y-yes, yess! I'll marry you!! I love you...' 'I love you too.' He said. He put the ring on my finger. And then, we kissed!! We decided to meet Phoebe and Mike in New York. We started to head out. I couldn't stop thinking about my big news. When should I tell him? Putting that aside, I can't wait to see the look on their faces...

Monica's Pov:
Chandler and I have been taking care of Erica and Jack all alone. No one even cared to come and visit us here in Westchester. Sorry, I might seem angry, it's just that Erica and Jack keep making such a mess of the house. Ugh! Anyway, today is the kids' first day in kindergarten and I know that they're soo nervous. I know this might sound bad on my side, but I'm kind of happy. Chandler and me can finally have a day to ourselves all to sleep in and we might also go back to Nyc to meet Pheebs. I can't wait!! None of us have been in touch lately as we've all been so busy with our own life. I can't wait to see the look on their faces...

Phoebe's Pov:
I can't believe my "friends". They all left New York. Nobody lives here anymore. Only Mike and I live here in New York. I have a small surprise. About 2 years ago, Mike and I started trying. Just a few weeks before, I heard the news that my twin sister Ursula died in a fatal car accident. I never told anyone, but I had a soft spot in my heart for Ursula. So when I successfully got pregnant, Mike and I decided to name the baby 'Ursula' if it was a girl and it was. I have a 1 year old baby daughter, Ursula, who I love so much!! When Ursula turns 3, we were thinking of trying again. It would just be spectacular to have another baby. Just yesterday, Ursula started walking. Best day of my life... As Ursula was at her grandmother's house today, Mike and I decided to have coffee in Central Perk...

Joey's Pov:
I looked all around New York. I couldn't find Pheebs, Mike, Rach or even Ross (he didn't know they had gone to live in Manhattan). I wonder where they are?? Okay, there was one place I didn't check: Central Perk. I thought going there would bring back all the emotions that were hidden in my heart. I later decided that taking a peek would not hurt and I was getting really hungry. I go inside Central Perk and I see them: Pheebs and Mike. They're sitting on 'the couch'. I had never felt this happy in my life. I go to sit down, when suddenly I'm filled with hugs from Pheebs who was also crying on my shoulder. It felt really great. I heard the door open and Ross and Rach had appeared in the doorway. It was their turn to be filled with lots of hugs and tears. Just 5 milliseconds later, guess who comes in the doorway?? Yes, it was 'Mondler'. Everyone was present. We all did a group hug. We sat down and I couldn't help but think that this was like a small reunion here in Central Perk... 'I love you guys so much...'
