TOW The End

The final part of my series. Will Chandler and Monica
find each other or realize it's time to move on?

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters, so I'll be
careful with them.

Scene: Monica's apartment. It's the next day. Rachel and
Phoebe are comferting Monica.

Mon: I have to find him!

Rach: He's been gone seven months! Mon, honey, I think
you have to move on.

Mon: I can't! There has to be something I can do!

Phoe: Why don't you take a walk?

Mon: That's what got me into this mess.

Rach: It will help you clear your mind and think things
over.

Mon: I don't really want to-

Phoe: Please?

Mon: I will go now because I don't want you to give me
those pleading faces and make this night like the last
one.

Phoe/Rach:Bye!

Mon: Bye. Look after Matt!

Rach: Okay!

Monica grabs her jacket and goes outside. It wasn't a
cold day, but it was a little chilly because it was so
early in the morning. Monica was tired, she was up all
night trying to think of another way to find Chandler.
She couldn't face the fact that he was gone. She didn't
know where she was walking, but it didn't really matter.
She passed by that football field where they had played
football on Thanksgiving, and remembered how much fun
they had had. Together. She hadn't seen anyone laugh as
much as they did, joke around as much as they did, even
smile as much as they did since Chandler had left. No
one had realized how much Chandler had provided since
he left. He was the one who made everyone laugh, by
either telling a joke or being the punchline. She nearly
laughed out loud remembering when Chandler had said how
he would grow up and live alone with snakes, but she
stopped, realizing that he was gone, they would never
have that Chandler feeling again.

Scene: Chandler's hotel room. He is laying on his bed,
and he looks as if he hasn't slept all night. He looks
at the clock.

Chan: Seven-thirty.

He hadn't slept all night. He couldn't stop seeing the
image of Monica smiling, holding hands and walking with
that other guy. It tore him apart. He didn't know what
to do. He didn't want to stay, Ney York brought back so
many memories. He missed everyone. Monica the most. He
knew that he only had a few days to stay here, and he
missed everything so much. He didn't know if he should
sit in here for the rest of the week and try to hold
back the bad memories, or go outside and let in the good
ones. He finally decided to go for a walk, it might help
him think things through. He grabbed his jacket and left
his hotel. Stepping outside, he could see Central Park,
but he knew immediately that he couln't go there. That
was too hard. So he just walked along the sidewalk, not
caring where he was going. He passed by some stores, and
then he realized that subconciously he was walking back
to his old apartment. He stopped and wondered what his
friends were doing now. If they even missed him. Then
he remembered that the day he left Monica wanted to tell
him something. She had sounded so happy, then she saw
him not alone and her heart broke. He didn't know what
to do. Suddently he saw someone he recognised coming his
way. He froze. He knew who it was, but he didn't know if
he should run away or say hi. But it was too late.

Phoe: Chandler? (You thought it would be Monica, didn't
you?)

Chan: Yeah (he winced, wondering how she would react)

Phoe: OH...MY...GOD!!!

Chan: I did not come back to hear Janice.
(Phoebe smiled. She realized how long it had been since
she had seen him, much less heard one of his jokes. She
ran forward and hugged him.)

Phoe: I missed you so much!

Chan: You too! Whatcha got there?
(He had seen Phoebe pushing something.)

Phoe: Oh! This is Matt.

Chan: Who's Matt?

Phoe: Monnnnday.

Chan: What?

Phoe: It's not Monday today!

Chan: That's right. (He shakes his head, thinking 'that's
Phoebe!') Whose baby is it?

Phoe: This lady at work.

Chan: At your massage place?

Phoe: At Rachel's work. I'm babysitting him for her.

Chan: Okay. (he doesn't sound convinced, but decides to
let it go)

Chandler looks at the baby, and takes an immediate
liking to it. He dosn't know why, but he feels like he
already knows him. Phoebe accidentally bumps the
stroller that Matt is in, and stopping it, he is jerked
forward a little. He starts crying.

Phoe: Oh no. (The patented)

She picks him up and rocks him to try to calm him down,
but he just cries harder. She gets an idea.

Phoe: Chandler, why don't you hold him?

Chan: Me? No, I'd probably drop him.

Phoe: Please?

Chan: Allright, fine.

Phoebe hands Matthew over to Chandler, and Chandler rocks
him back and forth. Matt almost immediately stops crying.

Phoe: You're a natural. He really likes you.

Chan: Really?

Phoe: Yeah, the only other person that can calm him down
that quickly is Monnnnday.

Chan: It's not Monday.

Phoe: I know, I was just reminding myself. Again. Oh!
Matt's asleep!

Chan: Oh, okay.

Chandler sets Matt down in the stroller. The way Matt
stopped crying when Chandler held him was strange. It was
almost as if they already knew each other.... Chandler
finished setting him down, and decided to change the
subject, because that closeness feeling was really weird.

Chan: So, how is everyone?

Phoe: Everyone is fine. But Monic-

Chan: I know, she's moved on.

Phoe: What?

Chan: I saw her in the park last night. She was smiling
and holding that guy's hand. You don't have to cover for
her.

Phoebe knew what he was talking about. Monica had told
her and Rachel their whole non-date.

Phoe: Monica was just-

Chan: You don't have to cover for her. I have to go. (He
turns around and runs through the streets and down an
alley. Phoebe would have run after him, but she still
had Matt tho watch.)

What was I doing? I should have never came back. I am so
stupid! Chandler thinks to himself as he leans on a side
of a building trying to catch his breath. That was so
dumb of me.

Scene: Monica is still walking along the streets, but
she has quickened her pace. She looks as if she is about
to cry.

The memories were too much for her. Everything reminded
her of Chandler. She would never listen to Rachel or
Phoebe again. She just wanted to get back home. She was
one street over from where she wanted to be so she
decided to cut through an alley. She was now almost
running, tears streaming down her face. She wasn't
looking where she was going and she nearly knocked over
someone.

Mon(embarassed): Sorry
(The guy turns around and you can see it's Chandler)(I
know everyone was expecting that)

Chan: Monica?
(He sees her standing there looking at him in awe. She
had tears down her face and was looking extremely
stressed.)

Mon: Chandler? What are you doing here? (She holds back
the urge to hug him and give him the most passionate
kiss long enough to hear what he was doing there.)

Chan: I.... (He didn't know what to say. He didn't know
whether to ask her about that guy or to run away or to
just throw his arms around her and kiss her. He wanted
to do the last one the most.) I wanted to come back to
see you, but I guess I'm too late. (He looked down when
he said that, beacause he missed the happiest smile on
Monica's face that quickly fell as he said those last
few words.)

Mon: What?

Chan(Tears now forming in his eyes): I saw you with that
guy yesterday in the park.

Mon: Randy?

Chan: I'm sorry I came back. I'm sorry that you had to
see me. I probably just wrecked you guys' lives by doing
this. I'm sorry.

He turned and ran. He shouldn't have come back. He would
just get everyone worried about him all over again. He
didn't want to wreck everyone's life. He just wanted to
see Monica. He ran back the way he came, and passed by
Phoebe.

Phoe: Chandler stop!

He ignored her. He was about to run down the street when
something caught his eye. It was Phoebe's stroller.
In the middle of the street! Rolling through a red
light! And a car was coming at it! That car wouldn't
have enough time to stop! He realized that when he ran
from Phoebe, she had looked after him. If anything
happened to that baby, it would be his fault. He made a
quick decision.

Phoe: Chandler! What are you doing? (She looked to see
where he was running. The stroller!) Matthew!

Monica had just come around the corner.

Phoe: Monica, I'm so sorry.

Mon: What? (She hadn't realized what she was talking
about. Then she saw Chandler and saw that he was running
after something in the street. A stroller! Then
something hit her. It was her stroller.) Matt!

Chandler quickly pushed the stroller out of the way. But
before he could move, the car hit him. He was thrown
back 15 feet from the impact.

Mon: Chandler! Matthew!

Phoebe ran to see Chandler, and Monica, seeing that,
went to see Matthew.

Phoe: Is Matt okay?

Mon: Yeah, he's fine. Chandler saved his life. Is he ok?

Phoe: I don't know. He's not moving. Somebody call an
ambulence!

Guy: They're on their way.

Monica and Phoebe were crying. Would Chandler be okay?
They heard the ambulence make it's arrival.

Scene: Hospital. Monica, Phoebe, and Matt are there.
They have called everyone else, and are waiting their
arrival.

Phoe: Do you think he will be okay?

Mon: I don't know. I hope so.

Ross, Rachel, and Joey burst in.

Ross/Rach/Joey: Is he okay/Can we see him/Do they have
sandwhiches here? (Rachel smacks him across the head)

Joey: Ow! Sorry, will he be okay?

Phoe: In order: I don't know, not yet, no, and I hope
so.
(A doctor comes in)

Dr: Are you all here for a Mr. Chandler Bing?

All: Yes. Is he okay?/Will he be okay?/Can we see him?

Dr: Allright, I'll try to answer all of those questions.
If he's okay, I'm sorry, but we're doing everything we
can. Right now he's unconcious, and we're not sure if
he will be okay. But, as I said, we're doing everything
we can. As for if you can see him, only relatives are
allowed in at this point. Are any of you related?

All: No.

Dr: I'm sorry, but-

Mon: Wait! I'm his feoncé. (AN: I can't spell that!)

Ross: What?

Mon: What he said in the letter was he asked me to marry
him. (She takes a ring off a chain on her neck.) I
always wear this.

Rach: Oh my god.

Dr: So you are engaged?

Mon: Yes. Can I bring in Matthew?

Dr: Well, I don't know....

Mon: He's our son.

Dr: I suppose. Follow me.

Scene: Chandler's room. He is lying on the bed with
bandages all over him. Monica enters with the doctor.

Dr: You can talk to him, but it won't do any good. He
can't hear you. Some things that we had to remove from
his pockets to put on the bandages are on the table over
there.

Mon: Okay. And, I think I'll talk to him anyway.

Dr: I'll go, then.
(He leaves)

Mon: Chandler, I know you can't hear me, but I have to
get a few things off my chest. (She touches his face,
tears rolling down her cheeks.) I want to thank you for
saving my- our baby. I've missed you so much in the past
seven months, I tried everything to find you. (She looks
over on the table at his things. She sees his wallet,
and picks it up. Inside, she sees the picture of them.
(Tears roll down her cheeks more rapidly.) You kept
this? (She wasn't expecting an answer. She looks at more
things on the table.) What's this? A nametag? Matthew
Perry. You changed your name? (She suddently thought of
something. Matthew Perry. Matthew Patrick. They thought
the same. She smiled through tears.) Chandler, do you
know what Randy said? He said that any guy to have me
would be the luckiest guy in the world. And do you know
what? It didn't mean anything to me that he said it. I
was thinking of when you said it. That's what made me
smile. That's what I was smiling about. I'm sorry you
mistook that as me liking him. I'm so sorry. (She breaks
down. She bends down and puts her head on his chest,
sobbing.) I'm so sorry.

Chan(weakly): It's okay, Monica.

Mon(looking up): Chandler? You're okay? You're awake?
(She hugs him)

Chan: I'm awake. And it really didn't mean anything to
you that he said it?

Mon(breaking the hug): Nothing. How long have you been
listening?

Chan: I woke up when you were saying something about my
nametag, and something about me keeping something.

Mon: The picture of us.

Chan: Oh. (he smiles) Did I miss anything else of what
you were saying?

Mon: Yes, I was thanking you for saving our baby.

Chan: What?

Mon: Matthew.

Chan: Our baby?

Mon: I thought you knew. When you left, the baby clothes
were all over the floor. I didn't want to belive it, but
I thought you had seen them.

Chan: I left you pregnant? I would have never left if
I had known that. And Matt is ours? (He thought
of that baby. That feeling was real, like they already
knew each other. He was that boy's father!) I'm a dad?
(Monica nods) Really?!

Mon: Really.

And they kiss. But it's not just any kiss. It's a Monica
and Chandler kiss, and if it's the most passionite one
they've ever had, you can only imagine how good it is.

Scene: Five years and a few months later. A house outside
of the city.

Matt: Mom! Mom! Look what Santa left me! (A five year-old
Matt is looking at his new bike.)

Mon: Wow! That's great honey!

Courtney: Mommy!

Sidney: Daddy!

Courtney: Look! Kitty!

Sidney: Puppy! (Three-year old twins Courtney and Sidney
look at their new puppy and kitty.)

Chan: Yeah. What should we call the kitty?

Matt: Bell! I like that name!

Mon: Okay, and how about the puppy?

Matt: How about... Nick!

Chan: Okay!
(You hear crying in the background)

Mon: Oh, that's Mike! We're leaving him out of the fun!
(She goes and gets their five-month-old baby.

Chan: Hey Mikey! (He takes him and holds him up like an
airplane.)

Mon: Don't bump his head!

Chan: I believe you did that.

Mon: Not to Mike!

Chan: But to Ben!

Mon: I didn't mean to!

Chan: Sure you didn't!

Mon: Ha ha ha. (they hear a knock at the door) Who's
that?

Chan: I don't know. Here, (he hands Mike to Monica) I'll
get it. (He goes to the door and opens it.) Oh my god!
What are you guys doing here?!

Joey: Are you going to invite us in? It's cold out here!

Mon: Come on in, guys!

Ross: Monica!

Mon: Hey! How are you? Hi Ben! (Ross enters with 10-year-
old Ben)

Ben: Hi Aunt Monica, hi Uncle Chandler.

Chan: Hey Ben! (Ben goes off to play with all the toys
they got for Christmas)

Ross: Fine! Oh, and (AN: I've added this for all you R&R
fans) Rachel's coming with Jennifer.

Rach(holding her three-year-old's hand): Come on,
sweetie. Auntie Monica is here with cousin Courtney and
Sidney!

Jen: Yea! (she runs off to play with them)

Ross: Our four-year anniversary is coming up!

Phoe(coming in, struggeling): A little help here!
(AN: I've added this for your enjoyment too!)

Joey: I'm coming! (He runs over to help seven-months
pregnant Phoebe)

Rach: I can't believe it's already been a year of you
two together. (Joey and Phoebe smile)

Joey: And Ross, I just thought of something! The third
time you got married really was to the right lady!

Ross: I just didn't know it then. I have news!

Chan: What is it?

Ross: I've already told Rachel, but I haven't told
anyone else.

Joey: What is it? Tell us! Come on!

Ross: Okay, okay! Carol and Susan are letting me take
full custody of Ben.

Phoe: Really! That's great!

Mon: Yeah, but why?

Ross: They realized that Ben needed a mother AND a
father, and they can't be both. They realized that Rachel
and I would be both for him.

All(except Rachel and Ross): That's great!

Mon: I just can't believe how much we've all changed.

All: Yeah.

Chan: Anyone want some coffee?

All: Yeah/sure. (they all head to the kitchen)


THE END!

I hope you all liked it! This is really the end. Oh, and
as kind-of something fun, all the new names of the
characters at the end (and animals) all have something
to do with any of the six actors/actresses. (Mostly
Courtney and Matthew, and except C&M's baby Mike- I came
up with that on my own.) It might have something to do
with other movies they've been in, or things they've
said in the show. If you can figure them out, please
e-mail me (don't say it in a review, it will wreck it
for other people) at [email protected] and I'll tell
you if they're right. I hope you enjoyed my series and
if people liked it, I will start a new one.
