A/N: Tulsa episodes are usually my favorite Mondler episodes. And Tulsa gives so many opportunities for chapters. I'm going to have scenes from the show and I'll add my own little twists. So, without further ado, I give you the first chapter of The One With Tulsa.
Chandler's POV
"Promise to call me when you land," Monica said to me.
"Of course I'll call you," I smiled. "I love you."
"I love you too," Monica kissed me.
"Okay, watch the tongue people, we've got a baby over here," Rachel warned as our kiss got more passionate.
"Bye Chandler," Phoebe said.
I hugged her. "Bye!"
"Bye, honey," Rachel hugged me.
I went to hug Joey, but he pulled away. "What's the matter Joe?"
"I'm mad at you for leaving," he confessed. "You're nothing but a big leaver. A big leaver with a stupid suitcase."
I gave him a look. "Any chance you are trying to pick a fight to make all this easier?"
"Dude, you see right through me," he hugged me.
"Well, bye Mon, bye Ross, Rachel, bye Emma."
"Okay, bye-bye!" Phoebe pushed me out the door. "Have a good trip."
I was almost to the steps when Monica came after me. For a second I wondered if she had changed her mind and was coming to Tulsa with me, but I quickly pushed that thought away.
"Chandler, wait. It goes: Old job, new job," she raised her hand high above her head. "And you. This is just something I have to do.
"I know," I forced a smile.
Be brave for Monica, I told myself.
"I love you so much," she said.
"I know that too," I kissed her, remembering this would be the last time we would kiss for four days.
Monica's POV
Tulsa. What a stupid thing to name a city. It sounds like coleslaw and I don't like coleslaw. I bet there aren't any pretty people in Tulsa. I bet Chandler hates it there.
But what if he doesn't? What if he loves it there and wants to move there for good and meets some 20 year old and gets married and has ten kids? What if their daughter wins the Nobel Prize? What if he and his 20 year old wife go on vacations to the bahamas? What if they grow old together and have grandchildren? What if they die in each others arms? What if she's better than me at cooking? Okay, that part could never happen.
"You okay there, Mon?" Ross asked. We were all watching a movie together.
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine," I lied.
"Monica," Rachel gave me a skeptical look.
"Okay! Fine! I'm kind of worried," I admitted.
"About what?" Joey took another bite of pizza.
"About Chandler's new wife being better at cooking than me," I blurted out.
"What?" Phoebe asked.
"Look, Chandler spends four days a week in Tulsa. He's bound to meet some Tulsian girl and fall in love with her."
"Tulsian?" Ross questioned.
"I don't know," I huffed.
"Mon, you know Chandler loves you. He'd never cheat on you," Joey told me.
"Plus he's really bad with women," Phoebe added.
"Why don't we call him," Ross suggested.
I picked up the phone and dialed Chandler's cell. It only rang once before he picked it up.
"Hey, babe," he greeted.
"Hi."
"How are you?"
"Okay," I responded.
"Good. I miss you."
"I miss you more."
"Impossible. You have no idea how horrible Tulsa is," he groaned.
"Really?" I asked, excitedly.
"Uh, yeah... I'm glad you're happy that I'm in hell."
"I'm not happy you're in hell, but there are no cute girls there, are there?" I bit my lip, mentally begging him to say no.
"Of course not, Mon. No one compares to you," he answered, no hesitation.
"You're so great. You know exactly what to say," I smiled.
"I know. How is everyone?"
"They're right here. Would you like to talk to them?"
"Sure."
I put the phone on speaker.
"Hey, Chandler," my friends chorused.
"Hey, you guys."
"When are you coming home? Monica's a pain in the ass without you," Phoebe complained. I elbowed her.
Chandler chuckled. "I'll be home in three days."
"Much too long," I said.
"I know," Chandler yawned. "Well I better get to sleep. I know it's only 8:00 there, but I'm on Tulsa time."
"I'm still on London time," I told him.
I could picture him smiling at our overused inside joke.
"Me too," he told me. "I'll call you first thing in the morning. I love you."
"I love you, too," I said as he hung up. And just like that I had lost connection with my Tulsian husband.
A/N: I love the whole London time thing way too much. I think it was so cute and I can't believe they only used it in one episode. Therefor, I have made it my personal goal to use it in every fanfiction I write.
Hope you liked this :)
