Chapter 1

Kaylee POV

"My seat!" I shout randomly, hurrying over to the spot in front of the coffee table on the carpet, its this part of the carpet that is always comfiest. I look to the others to see them smirking at me as they sit in their seats, I return the smirk, happy I have my seat,

"So come on Monica tell us more about this guy" I say, looking to her for answers about this mysterious guy she is going out with, she wont tell us anything!

"There's nothing to tell! He's just some guy I work with" she says, I roll my eyes at this,

"Come on! Your going out with the guy there must be something wrong with him" says Joey, I lightly smack his leg by me, him looking to me raising shoulders with that "what did I do" look, I just raise my eyebrow at him, he can be so insensitive.

"All right Joey, be nice. So does he have a hump? A hump and a hair piece?" asks Chandler, I roll my eyes at my older brother, oh yeah! Sorry I forgot to tell you, my name is Kaylee Bing, baby sister to Chandler Bing, friends with Monica who's school I went to. I also went to the same college with her and became friends with Ross, and later became friends with Joey Tribiani when he moved in with Chandlar, Phoebe Buffet I met years before I Joey when she was playing music next to a shop I used to work at, we would talk and I would give my change or a cup of tea on my breaks.

"Wait does he eat chalk?" asks Phoebe, I look to her startled and very confused, who does she know that eats chalk? She looks around and sees us all looking at her funny,

"I just don't want her to go through what I went through with Carl, oh" now with a sad face from what I can presume from thinking about whatever happened, I must remember to ask her about this chalk eater, she tells odd but interesting stories.

"Ok everyone relax, this is not even a date, its just two people going to dinner and not having sex," she says, ok my eyebrow is raised yet again,

"Sounds like a date to me" says Chandler, I laugh out loud from that, unable to breath for a few minutes, with Joey rubbing my back from what I can only guess is from trying to help me to calm down.

I start to get my crafts out on the coffee table after moving the magazines off and onto the tall table, starting to make a tooth necklace that a client ordered for one of her shows she's having, she's a regular which is nice and she said she was going to tell her other friends are on the show that if they need anything then to get in touch.

"Now your sure that these teeth didn't come from poaching?" asks Phoebe who comes to sit beside me folding a napkin, I smile at this while hooking the plastic thread,

"If it was Phoebe then I would not have bought it, you know I'm against animal cruelty" I say, she smiles at me from this patting my head which I grin at, I'm the youngest out of the group so sometimes they treat me as such, but it can be fun, means I get away with a lot of stuff.

"Alright so I'm back in high school cafeteria and I realise that I am completely…naked" he says, I raise my eyebrows at this now looking up at him from this,

"Oh yeah I had that dream" I say, happily seeing the others nodding in agreement, cool not the only one then,

"Then I looked down and there's a phone…there" he says, I frown at this looking at the others, I don't remember this part, sometimes I think he's making this stuff up.

"Instead of –" but Chandler interrupts Joey,

"That's right!" he says, I raise my eyebrows at this, well that's different to my dream,

"Never had that dream," says Joey,

"No" says Phoebe, I smile at this,

"All of a sudden the phone starts to ring. Now I don't know what to do, everybody starts looking at me" he says, duh!

"And they weren't looking at you before?" asks Monica, I look to Chandler from this, surely people would look if they saw that in the cafeteria.

"Finally, I figure I'd better answer it…and it turns out its my mother, which is very-very weird because…she never calls me" he says, I grin at this, looking back down at my work pleased with the colours that I've put together. After I make sure that its alright and is secure and wont come apart easily, I put it into the gift bag I have for the jewellery I have finished so I can go see Cary later with it.

"Oh Kaylee don't let me forget to give you the design my mum is after" says Monica, I look up to her and smile and nod, yeah her mum apparently has a guilty pleasure for my jewellery, says they are a style that is hard to come by that actually suits her. I just laughed when Monica first told me that.

I go and get a hot chocolate afterwards and come back to sit back in my spot after taking a cushion to soften the carpet a little more, that and I kind of got a numb bum,

"Kaylee you want a cookie?" asks Chandler behind me, I swear it feels like we're playing musical chairs, I look behind him with a grin,

"Have you ever known in your whole life for own sister to ever refuse a cookie?" I ask, he tilts his head as if thinking about it, while he isn't looking I sneak one from his plate without him realising,

"Nope, here you go" he says, I smile and take one from his plate,

"Thank you big brother" I say, now nibbling on my cookie, sneakily wrapping my stolen cookie into a napkin in my bag. I look to the others to see them looking elsewhere, I look where they are looking and see Ross behind the couch,

And wow does he look miserable.

"Hi" he says, I look to Joey to see his eyebrows raises almost as much as mine,

"This guy says hello I want to kill myself," says Joey, I silently agree, Ross has the annoying ability to make others feel exactly how he feels, it's really annoying sometimes.

"You ok sweetie?" asks Monica holding his arm sympathetically,

"I just feel like someone reached into my throat and grabbed my small intestines and pulled it out and tied it around my neck" he says while walking around the couch to be stood by Chandler,

"Cookie?" Chandler asks, I smile at this, but see Ross just look at it miserably,

"Carol moved her stuff out today," says Monica, the majority of us making a chorus of "ohs" realising why Ross is so miserable right now,

"Let me get you some coffee," says Monica as she goes to get a coffee for him,

"Thanks" he says,

"Ooh! Oh!" I hear Phoebe say, I look to see her cleansing Ross, I smirk at this but look down to not annoy him.

"No, no don't! Stop cleansing my aura! No, just leave my aura alone, okay?" he says,

"Fine! Be murky!" she says, I smirk at this, he's already murky,

"I'll be fine, alright? Really, everyone, I hope she'll be very happy." He says,

"No you don't" says Monica from the counter, I turn to see her there then look back to Ross,

"No I don't, to hell with her, she left me!" he says, I grin from this, sipping some more of my hot chocolate,

"And you never knew she was a lesbian..." says Joey, I roll my eyes at this, that's the one part of this subject that mainly interests him,

"No! Okay?! Why does everyone keep fixating on that? She didn't know, how should I know?" he says, now being handed the mug from Monica,

"Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian..." says Chandler, at least I hope it wasn't, I look up to see everyone else looking at him, then he looks to see us all looking at him.

"Did I say that out loud?" he asks shocked, I giggle at this, feeling him shake my head slightly but makes me giggle more,

"I told mom and dad last night, they seemed to take it pretty well" says Ross, obviously talking to Monica,

"Oh really, so that hysterical phone call I got from a woman sobbing at 3:00 A.M, "I'll never have grandchildren, I'll never have grandchildren." was what? A wrong number?" she asks, I try not to laugh at this, now seeing Ross with a guilty face on,

"Sorry" he says.

"Alright Ross, look. You're feeling a lot of pain right now. You're angry. You're hurting. Can I tell you what the answer is?" says Joey, I look to him interested in what he has to say, and I see at the corner of my eye that Ross inclines for him to continue

"Strip joint! C'mon, you're single! Have some hormones!" he says loudly

"I don't want to be single, okay? I just... I just- I just wanna be married again!" says Ross, poor guy, I feel for him, but he needs to stop being so dramatic!

But I have to blink a couple of times when a woman in a wedding dress comes into the coffee shop soaking wet, looking for someone I think as she is looking left right and center and walks over to the counter, did Ross just wish on a star or something?

"And I just want a million dollars!" says Chandler extending his hand out,

"Oh me too!" I say mimicking him, we look at one another and laugh while nodding at our similar humour,

"Rachel?!" says Monica, I frown at this, Monica knows her? Though saying that I do recall Monica once saying something about a Rachel,

"Oh God Monica hi! Thank God! I just went to your building and you weren't there and then this guy with a big hammer said you might be here and you are, you are!" she says holding Monica's hand with an over-joyed look on her face,

"Can I get you some coffee?" ask Jeanette behind the counter, oh that reminds me I must remember to give her her bracelet she asked me to make her for her grandmas birthday before she finishes her shift.

"De-caff" says Monica while pointing to Rachel and looking at Jeanette to let her know what Rachel will be having, must know her very well if she knows what drink she would have,

"Okay, everybody, this is Rachel, another Lincoln High survivor. This is everybody, this is Chandler, his sister Kaylee, there's Phoebe, and Joey, and- you remember my brother Ross?" says Monica, all of us waving when Monica says our names,

"Hi, sure!" says Rachel who I see stepping over towards Ross, she must remember him,

"Hi" says Ross getting up to try and give her a hug that she seems to be about to initiate, but suddenly his umbrella opens, woops. He grabs it and puts it back down sitting back down defeated, hmm I wonder if there's some history between these two?

I could literally hear crickets chirp after Rachel sits down next to Phoebe, just sitting there…yeah we are kinda going to need some kind of explanation here,

"So you wanna tell us now, or are we waiting for four wet bridesmaids?" says Monica, I look towards to door just in case but I cant see anyone in any dresses,

"Oh God... well, it started about a half hour before the wedding. I was in the room where we were keeping all the presents, and I was looking at this gravy boat. This really gorgeous Lamauge gravy boat! When all of a sudden I realized that I was more turned on by this gravy boat than by Barry! And then I got really freaked out, and that's when it hit me: how much Barry looks like Mr Potato Head. Y'know, I mean, I always knew looked familiar, but... Anyway, I just had to get out of there, and I started wondering 'Why am I doing this, and who am I doing this for?' So anyway I just didn't know where to go, and I know that you and I have kinda drifted apart, but you're the only person I knew who lived here in the city." Says Rachel, finishing up with looking at Monica, though I do believe I have got this girl sussed, she's a spoilt girl, hardly ever had to work for anything for herself ever, I bet her dad was rich, the spoilt bit I got when she just seemed to expect Ross to add in her sugar, hmm we'll see.

"Who wasn't invited to the wedding." Says Monica, that's a good point, my eyes back to Rachel to see what her reaction is to this,

Ooh, I was kinda hoping that wouldn't be an issue..." she says, yup spoilt little daddy's girl. Damn I am good!

"Well maybe it would be a good idea to get you up to my apartment, its not far but at least you can warm up, and then give your family a call at least to let them know that you are alright" says Monica, I nod at this, as well as everyone else and we start to get up. I gather my bits and put them all into my messenger bag, quickly bringing out Jeanette's bracelet in its gift box she asked for, I go over to her seeing her with a smile, she quickly goes around back to get her purse and we do a quick exchange so as not to get her into any trouble with her boss, she gives me a quick hug which I return and then I follow the others out of the coffee shop.

"So how many are you up to this week Kay?" asks Joey, walking beside me,

"Ten now, starting to get more customers, just hope it keeps going up" I say smiling he nods at this wrapping an arm around my shoulders as we follow the to hers in front of us,

"Hey Joey, two o clock, brunette" I say, he looks to where I say, yeah it took me ages to teach him this, well I say me, both me and Chandler taught him, it was both fun and very frustrating, you have to be very patient with Joey. I see him raise his eyebrows at the girl and nod in approval,

"Very nice. Hey I'll catch up ok?" he says looking at me, I smile and nod, watching him hurry over to the girl, but I catch his arm stopping him,

"Hang on Joey, here's a tip, she's carrying a lot of luggage, and I think she may be about to drop those bags, wait a couple of minutes, if she doesn't drop them after a few minutes go over and offer your help, but if she drops them hurry over and help her and then offer to carry the bags for her" I say, he grins at this, giving me a kiss on my cheek,

"You're the best girly friend I could ever ask for!" he says, then goes to the side and stops, me waving at him as I walk up to Ross and Chandler,

"Are you helping Joey with girls again?" asks Chandler; I smirk at this, somehow getting in between the two guys,

"If you want help just say," I say, looking at them both,

"Give me a month and if I don't find one myself, expect a phone call from me," says Ross, I nod at this laughing quietly,

"How are you and Janice by the way Janice, I haven't seen her in a while" I say, looking to him,

"She's fine, I called her this morning, apparently her work has been really hard on her lately, but she's said she would love to go on another shopping trip with you again" he says, I nod at this, I do like Janice, I know a lot of the others get a little annoyed with some of her repetitive phrases but she's nice and funny and a pretty woman too, I'm happy for Chandler, so when I heard that they were going out after a month I made myself known and became a supportive sister and got to know the girlfriend and we got on well with one another much to Chandlers relief.
