This idea just came to my head one day. Please give it a chance. Read and review to tell me what you think.
Disclaimer: I got them for Christmas! Yay!!! Okay… so I didn't… but a girl can have her fantasies, right?
Things to know: Ross, Phoebe, Chandler, Monica, and Joey know each other… so that means that they don't know Rachel. Chandler and Monica are best friends and roommates. The rest of the gang live where they do on the show.
Chapter One
The girl's head was turned back. He couldn't see her face, so he walked up to her. They were walking through flowers.
"Excuse me…" The girl turned around but her face was blurry. He rubbed his eyes, but the image didn't improve.
"Yes?" The voice was familiar – very familiar. But he just couldn't point out who's it was. She was beautiful – he could tell, although he couldn't see clearly.
"Have we met? Who are you?"
"But you know me."
"I do?"
"I'm who you're meant to be with."
"What? Who are you?"
Chandler woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. He reached his hand over but missed. His mind was foggy. He strained his eyes to focus them. When his image cleared, he half-expected to be in a meadow next to a beautiful woman. He looked around. No, it was just his room. He looked over at the clock and slapped his hand on the snooze button. He walked out of his room and was greeted by Monica.
"Hey you," she greeted. Chandler smiled.
"Hey." Chandler shook his head, trying to clear his mind. Monica noticed this and frowned.
"What's the matter?" Monica asked, concerned. Chandler shook his head.
"Nothing. It's nothing. I just - " Chandler stopped mid-sentence.
"What? Come on, Chandler… you can tell me anything. It's me… Monica! Remember? The person that's been your best friend for the past ten years?"
Chandler smiled. "I had a dream."
Monica looked amused. "Oh? A good one?"
Chandler nodded. "A very good one."
"So… tell me about this 'wonderful dream'," she mocked him.
"Well… there was this woman. I couldn't see her face, but I could tell she was beautiful. Mon… I had a dream about my soulmate."
"What? You had a dream… about your soulmate?"
"Yes. It – and it felt so real. Mon… I'm telling you… it was a sign!"
"Okay… who was this person?"
"I – I don't know. But I'm going to find her," he said, too sure of himself.
"Chandler… there are thousands and thousands of women – and that's only in New York. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to find one woman in a sea of about 1 billion women? It's impossible."
"No, it's not. Mon, you have been so supportive of me ever since we first became friends. For ten years, you mended my broken heart. For ten years, you watched wrong woman after wrong woman come into my life. Do you want another woman like that come?"
"No… but…"
"No, please. I'm tired of not having anybody to love. I know that the right one is out there somewhere. And I'm going to find her."
Monica sighed. "Then I can't stop you."
At dinner that night, Chandler decided to tell the rest of the gang about his plan. They laughed at him. All but Monica. Chandler excused himself and walked onto the balcony.
"You guys… be supportive! I can't believe you laughed at him," Monica scolded. She quickly got up and followed Chandler.
"Chandler?" She was surprised to see tears in his eyes.
"They all think I'm some kind of idiot, don't they?"
"No, Chandler. They're just kidding. They're the ones that are being idiots. I think it's great that you believe in something so much."
Chandler looked up at her.
"Really?" He moved closer toward her.
"Of course." She moved closer toward him.
"You know… you were always the one that I could count on, Mon." And closer.
"And you were the one that I could always count on." And closer.
Soon they were so close that their lips were almost touching. Chandler closed his eyes and leaned toward her. Monica did the same.
"Chandler?" Chandler jumped and Monica screamed. They quickly spun around. Phoebe, Ross, and Joey were standing by the window.
"Yes?"
"We're sorry," Ross apologized for all of them.
"Yeah, we were being jerks. We'll be better," Joey told him. Chandler nodded.
"I accept."
Monica looked from Chandler to the rest of the gang.
"Chandler?" she called out to him.
"Hmmm?"
"I – I'm coming with you."
"What?" Chandler looked at her, confused.
"I want to come with you on your journey to find this person. Please?"
"Oh, Mon. I'd be honored to have you by my side," he told her and went over and hugged her tightly. He didn't let go until a few minutes later. "I love you, Mon. You're the best friend anyone can ask for."
"Yeah. I know," she teased. Chandler smiled. "Friend."
In a week, Monica and Chandler were on their way. Monica still couldn't believe what she was doing. It was like a movie. A story. Not life. She was helping her best friend find his soulmate. Did this happen in life? Not many people believed in fate, destiny, and soul mates. It was something Phoebe would do. She couldn't believe Chandler was so into this. And all because of a mere dream. They were in a train heading toward NJ. Monica looked over at him and saw that he was sleeping. She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Chandler. Why are you chasing a dream?" she whispered to him. "I'm right here."
