Chandler and Rachel stood at the rail to their balcony suite.
"Wow," Rachel said. "You never really get a chance to look at how pretty it is around here. The lights the fountains. Its really nice out here if you think about it."
"Thats the thing though. They want to keep you gambling and not thinking."
"True." Rachel sighed. "I can hardly wait to go home."
She looked at Chandler. "Our home."
"It wont be much longer." Chandler said.
"I'm going to turn in early." Rachel said. "We have a long day tomorrow."
"You bet." Chandler said. "And I'm gonna make sure you never ever forget it."
"I hope so." Rachel said. "One of these days we're gonna get it right."
"I'll see you in a bit. I have some last minute things that I want to get done." Chandler said. "Getting a church in this place is a lot harder than it seems." Chandler kissed her on the cheek. "I will find you a place to marry me, even it has to be on Gilligans island."
"Ok, just so long as no actual stowaways show up." Rachel said getting into her nightgown. "I'll see you in a while. I'll be here."
Chandler waved at the door and closed it. He walked down the big flight of stairs. He almost bumped into someone when he came to the bottom.
"Oh excuse me!" The woman said. Chandler turned.
"I'm sorry." He said. Then he got a good look at the woman. "Stacy?"
"Hi." She smiled. "Fancy meeting you here."
Chandler stepped back, speechless.
Upstairs Rachel was about to fall asleep when she heard the knock at the door.
"Geez. Chandler must have forgotten his key again." Rachel got up. She picked up a blanket and wrapped it around herself, it was suddenly cold. She went to the door and looked through the peephole.
It was Ross and he looked around.
Rachel opened the door. "Ross?"
"Rachel, I need to talk with you." Ross looked around. "Is it a bad time?"
"I was just going to bed." Rachel said.
"Oh, I hope I'm not disturbing you and Chandler then." Ross said stepping back out.
"Come back in, hes doing some last minute things." Rachel said. "You look like you have a problem."
"I do." Ross said. "Well its about me." He sighed. "You've been able to go on since we broke up, but I havent been able to date."
"Whys that?" Rachel asked.
"I dunno. No one seems to be good enough." Ross said. "Then I came here, and I think I've met someone."
"Really? Thats wonderful." Rachel said.
"Would you like to meet her?"
"Sure."
"She's right out here." Ross said. He went out to the hallway and brought in a leggy blonde. She was the same height he was and had blonde hair. She smiled at Rachel.
"This is Jennifer Andrews." Ross said. "Jenn, this is Rachel, Rachel, this is Jenn."
"Pleased to meet you." Rachel shook her hand.
"Me too. Ross has talked a lot about you." Jennifer said.
"Really?" Rachel asked. "How did you meet?"
"In the elevator." Jennifer said.
"She lives in New York, not a block away from our old place." Ross said. "We were walking past each other for years and had no idea."
"Of course we're taking it slow." Jennifer said. "After all, after four divorces, you'd think we'd learn somehow."
"Yeah." Ross said laughing with her.
"It was nice to meet you." Rachel said.
"We gotta go. We're playing paddle ball." Ross said.
"Toodles." Jennifer waved.
"Wow. Shes just like him." Rachel marveled when she shut the door. "Be afraid, be very afraid."
"Stacy, how did you know I was here." Chandler said.
"I didn't." Stacy confessed. "For real, I had no idea."
"How are you?" Chandler paused. "I don't know what to call you."
"Call me Stacy." Stacy said.
"But you said..."
"Oh about that." Stacy said. "The truth is that I'm Stacy." She took his hand. "I have someone you ought to meet." She brought him around the corner. "Oh Eddie!" She called out. A man moved from the bar. "You remember Eddie dont you?"
Eddie came over and shook his hand.
"But why?"
"I'm Eddies fiancee." Stacy said. "We were friends but then when he found out that I was dating you, we pulled this whole I'm a man thing." Stacy laughed. "Oh and you bought it."
"Hook line and sinker." Eddie agreed.
"I know." Chandler said. "But you used that when you broke up with me."
"Wrong, you broke up with me before I could take the joke any further." Stacy said while Eddie went back to the bar.
"Right. Now that I know, I'm glad that I did. I can't believe I thought I loved you." Chandler said. "I never want to see you again."
"Ahhhh. Well ok." Stacy said. "It's your loss."
"Thas what you think." Chandler said. "Goodbye."
"Chandler!" Stacy called after him. "No kiss?" He ignored her.
Chandler let himself into his room.
"Did I miss much?" He asked Rachel as she sat up and read.
"Ross has a girlfriend." Rachel said as he kissed her.
"Stacy is a girl, shes friends with Eddie. They were playing a prank on me that went wrong."
"Wow, we had an interesting day." Rachel asid dryly. "Did you get that stuff done?"
"Yep, all done." He looked at her. "Are you nervous?"
"Yes."
"Me too."
"Soon," Rachel whispered. "Soon."
