Chapter 11: the one with the Christmas tree

It was the 15th of December and the wedding was almost prepared. We had the bridesmaid and bestman, the maids of honor, the dress and even the papers for the marriage. The only thing left was the decoration, which we wanted to do personally in order to make it more emotional. There only were ten days left for the wedding, so we had to rush with them. 

The wedding place was getting perfect, but there was still a lot of spaces, which needed to be prepared. The altar, for example needed to be decorated with something. Our wedding planner examinated the decorations and said: "We would need to get a christmas tree and a garland for the altar." I acceded to go and get the christmas tree with Monica and Ross, because Joey was buying giant christmas sticks with Chandler and Rachel. We took my grandma's car and went to the woods, where the christmas trees were sold. 

As we got out of the car, We started to look at the trees. We looked at them for an hour, when I decided that I didn't like any of them. "Why don't we go more inside of the woods and search for a perfect tree? I proposed. "Okey!" Said Monica, and so we did. We walked through the woods for an hour without finding any tree, when I saw one In the highest part of a mountain. "Let's go up there!" I said. "Noo." Answered Monica. "Why not?" I asked. "Because it's too far away from the entrance!" Ross explained. "Yeah, but it's my wedding! It's worth it!" I complained. Monica sighed and said: "Okey.... We'll go!". "Yesss!" I shouted. 

It was definitely not a good idea. We found the tree, indeed, but after two hours of walking to the entry, we noticed something bad. "We are walking in circles!... We have already been here!" Said Ross. "But how do you know that?" I asked. "We've already seen this rock!" Explained Monica. In fact, not only the rock was familiar, but there was a mountain house that did also look familiar. We had been walking in circles for two hours! We sat down in the grass and tried to think about a solution to go back to where we came from. "We could  knock in the door of the house and ask for a phone." I proposed. "We could!" Monica answered. "Yeah, but how do we now if there is gonna be an answer?" Asked Ross. "If we don't do it we'll never now, and we could remain in these woods like forever. And there would be no wedding, no Joey, no Chandler and no Rachel. They don't know where we are, so you wanna knock at the door or not Ross?" I said, passive-agressivly. "We'll do it!" Said Ross, not wanting to face never seeing our friends again. "Nice!" I said and we went to the house. 

I knocked on the door and an old man opened the door. "Hi, could we take the phone, so we can call our friends to pick us up? We have gotten lost." I asked. The man agreed to let us the phone and I called Joey. 

- "Hi Joey, it's Phoebe!"

- "Hi Pheebs! What's up?" 

- "Well not so good....... We got lost in the middle of the woods!"

- "What?" 

- "We got lost in the woods!" I repeated, shouting.

- "I know! But how?"

- "We were searching for the perfect tree when we got the idea of going up on a mountain and search it there!" "It was Phoebe!" Said Ross "Ross shut up!" I said

- "Ok... in which woods are you?" 

- "In the one with the christmas trees!" 

- "Ok! I'll pick you up with Chandler's car!"

So he did and in an hour he was there. "Joey!" I shouted. "Pheebs!" He shouted back. He hugged us and then we kissed. "It's great that you are here!.... But where's the car?" Monica asked. Joey did his astonished face and said: "I came here by car!" "We know, but where is it?" Monica asked. "No, no, no! I took the car to the middle of the uphill!" Said Joey, frightened. "You did what?" Asked Ross with a high-pitched tone

We went to the middle of the uphill and saw the car clashed against the tree. We all were panicking. "What do we do now?" Said Monica desperately. Ross looked pretty angry and after a while he said: "I'll kill you Joey! You've clashed the only way we had to escape from here!" "I'm sorry!" He said, a little non-chalant. "Joey, now we can't go back!" I said and sat on the floor. We all were desperate and went back to the grass, when Joey said: "Wait I remember the way back!" 

And he did, so we followed him and got to Ross's car. We all shouted and jumped out of joy. We even clapped. After tying the tree to the car, we put the music super loud and danced in the car. When we got to the place where the wedding was going to be celebrated, Chandler and Rachel had been waiting for us for two hours. "Hi!" Said Rachel and hugged Ross. Chandler did the same with Monica and then asked: "Where's my car?" Joey and I looked at each other with a knowing look and then I said: "It has gotten lost." "Don't worry honey! We'll find it!" Said Monica to him
