Chapter 13: The one with Phoebe's and Joey's wedding Part 1

It was the day of the wedding. Monica and Rachel woke up and noticed we were not at my house. "Where are we?" Asked Monica taking a hand to her forehead. "I don't know!" Answered Rachel, completely disoriented. They woke me up and asked me: "Pheebs, do you know where we are?" I noticed that it was my wedding day and started to panic. "Oh no! What hour is it?" I asked. "9am." Answered Monica. "Oh, no!" I shouted, "The wedding was due to start at 12am" "Uh, oh!" Said Rachel. "I remember where we are!" Said Monica, "we are in the escape room!" "But in the first room!" I continued, "We have to complete the escape room in order to get out of here!" I said, desperate. 

On the other hand, the boys were still at the restaurant. Joey was woken up by the janitor, who has just started to clean the basement. He stood up and looked at him with a surprised, yet tired look. "Who are you and where are we?" He asked. "We are at the restaurant you were in yesterday, apparently the three of us were too drunk!" The janitor said. "Are my friends in here?" Joey asked. "Oh, yeah, there's a guy sleeping on the table and another sleeping in the kitchen!" The janitor told him.

Joey ran into the dining room and woke Chandler up. "Wake up!" He said. Chandler woke up and asked him where they were. Joey told him what happened last night and they went to the kitchen. "Ross!" Shouted Chandler. Ross woke up and bumped into the wardrobe, which was over his head. "Ow!" He said. Suddenly Joey remembered what day it was. "Oh no! Today's my wedding!" He screamed shocked. "We have an hour to get there!" The boys went to the basement and told the janitor their problem.

In the other point of the town were we, the girls, who had already finished the escape room. We were really happy, but when we thought we've made our way through it, Monica tried to open the door. "It's locked!" She said, really worried. We started to open it by the most random ways ever: We tried to open it with an umbrella stand that was standing beside, throwing books at it and even running into it, but it didn't open. Monica tried to open it with a hairpin, but it didn't work. It was 10pm. We had only two hours to get to the wedding. 

On the contrary, the boys had already managed to exit the restaurant and in half an hour they were waiting for us in the wedding place, actually everyone was. Everyone was having a happy Christmas day except us.

We were stuck in this dumb escape room, and it was only our fault for having drunk and danced instead of trying to get out. Well, at least we had a good time at my bachelor party. 10:30pm. We hadn't managed to get out yet. "What if we call the emergency service?" I proposed. "Yes, please!" Said Monica. "But we don't have any telephone!" I sighed. "Look! There's one!" Rachel said, reffering to an old telephone that was lying in the wardrobe that was behind us. We didn't know if it was gonna work, but we managed to call the emergency service. "Yay!" Rachel and Monica said and clapped. "Shut up girls!" I said. 

Then, the emergency service answered our call. "Hello....., I said, "Yeah. We are stuck in an escape room.....aha......ok...thanks!"

"And..?" Asked Rachel. "They will be here in half an hour!" I said. We were really excited about this news, so we hugged each other and screamed out of joy. So it was, in half an hour the door was open by a policeman. "Thank you!" I said. We went to Monica's and took her car in order to go to my house.

We maked ourselfes up and put on our dresses thinking that we were going to be able to be at the wedding in fifteen minutes, but it wasn't like this.

As we opened the door, we met Mike. "Oh, nice dress!" He said. "Thank you!" , I said doing a fake smile," However, we were going to leave right now!" He didn't make any sense to my comment and continued provoking me. "Let me guess, seeing Monica's and Rachel's dress you are going to marry Joey. Am I right?" He stated. "That's not of your concern!" I said. "But is it true?" He asked. "Yes!" I said in order to make him shut up. "It's incredible how fast you forgot me.." Said Mike, sad. It was 12pm. The wedding should already have started and this was really stressing me. "We have to go!" Whispered Rachel to me. Somehow Mike managed to hear her and said: "Don't go Phoebe!" He tried to take my hand. "Stop it!" I shouted and hit his hand, I just couldn't stand the fact, that he was still trying to get back with me. Mike looked at me with an angry look and said: "It's impossible that you've ever loved me! You're a liar Phoebe Buffay!" He went back to his house and slammed the door. I went behind him and kicked the door. "C'mon honey, don't be so mad! It's your wedding day, and we are late, so let's go to the altar." Said Rachel in order to cheer me up. We took the car and drove as fast as we could. In fifteen minutes we were already there and Monica and Rachel walked down the altar. 

Finnaly, it was my turn to do it. Joey had the brightest smile I had ever seen and the music began to ring. Chandler took my arm and walked me down the aisle. I was really excited about the wedding. Joey and I took our hands and the ceremony began.
