"I Wasn't Over You"

Monica, Phoebe waited patiently inside one of the rooms of the church. They were waiting for the wedding to start. Rachel went over to the mirror one last time before she walked Monica down the isle. She thught her dress looked nice and pretty and...sane. After the famous game show incident Monica agreed to have Rachel pick out the bridesmaid dresses for them. She had finally settle on a simple white number. Phoebe got inspired and made a flower ring to wear on both their hears. She saved extra flowers to put on her daughter Sunrise. Sunset was allergic to fake flowers.
"How much longer?" Rachel asked. "How much longer do we gotta sit in this cramped little room?"
"Not much longer." Monica promised. "We're waiting for the other wedding guests to arrive. I wasnt too sure about inviting Ross to the wedding. Remember Emily had that fatal heart attack after Ross said Rachels name at the alter?"
"Its too bad your parents couldnt come." Phoebe said. "After all they had planned that Hawaiian vacation two months in advance."
"Yeah but for the first time something was more important than their Little Harmonica." Monica sighed.
There was a knock at the door. It started to open.
"No grooms in here before the wedding!" The girls shouted.
Chandler came through the door.
"Oh, its you." Monica said.
"Don't sound so disapointed." Chandler said. "We're ready for you but we have a little snafu."
"Snafu?"
"Its nothing really." Chandler said squirming in the way only Chandler could. "Nothing."
"Chandler spill!" Rachel demanded.
"We have no groom." Chandler finally fessed up.
"What?" The girls chorused.
"Steve is not here." Chandler said. "And quite frankly I dont think he is gonna be here."
"What gave you that idea?" Monica said smiling. "He's late. Thats all. Just a little late....to his own wedding. God!"
Ross came through the door. He looked at Monica.
"I guess you found out." He said going over to her. "Mon, honey he returned his tux this morning." Ross said. "The tux shop called while you were on route here."
"He's really not showing up." Monica said finally letting the news sink in. "Im not getting married today."
"Oh Mon." Rachel hugged Monica. "I'm so sorry. You two seemed so right on!"
"I know." Monica said getting up. "Apparently he didnt feel the same way."
"Where are you going?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm gonna have to break the news to everyone who showed up." Monica thought for a minute. "Just because theres no wedding doesnt mean we can't go to the reception." She smiled.
"What do you mean?" Ross said.
"Well we hired the caterer right, they have everything all set up, we might as well go enjoy it." Monica said going to the door. "Yeah. We're gonna party!"
Monica left the room leaving Ross and Rachel and Phoebe and Chandler to look at each other.
"Shes fine." Chandler said. "She just flipped her wig."

A Few minutes later

Everyone loved the idea of going to the reception. Phoebe called it the "No wedding" Reception. A few minutes after everyone devoured the wedding cake everyone got in the swing of things and had fun. Chandler sat on the sidelines and watched Ross and Rachel dance. She turned her head and waved at her. He smiled back at her.
He could not believe he still had amorous feelings for Rachel after she had broke it off with him a month or so ago. He decided to put it out of his mind and got another piece of cake.
Monica tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey, you look worse than me and you weren't even dumped at your own wedding." Monica said.
"Hey." Chandler said
"Wanna dance?" Monica said taking his hand.
"Sure."
"We can talk too." Monica said as he swung her around. "You still love her don't you?"
"Love who?"
"Janice! Who do you think I mean?"
"How did you know about me and Rachel." Chandler asked.
"It was pretty obvious how you felt about each other." Monica said. "I should say still do feel about each other. I just saw you looking at her. Such uh I don't know, longing doesnt usually happen between two good friends without a good reason."
"I want Rachel back." Chandler said. "I want to give her the world but Ross... you know?"
"All too well." Monica said. "If Ross didnt come back to her, where do you think you two would be right now?"
"I don't know. Dancing at our own wedding?"
"Thats not a far fetched idea." Monica said. "Let's get some eats. This food did not come cheap."
"Youre a cook, why did you not cater your own wedding?" Chandler asked.
"I'm stupid I guess."
"No comment."


Phoebe and Joey were sitting at a table. Joey was making funny faces for her children.
"Sunrise and Sunset." Joey smiled. "Those are such cool names."
"I know!" Phoebe smiled.
"How do you tell them apart?" Joey asked.
"Well Sunrise looks like me." Phoebe smiled and pushed Sunrises little button nose. Sunrise giggled. "And Sunset looks more like her father."
"Whos her father?" Joey asked Phoebe.
"You are."
"What?" Joey asked.
"You are the father of my two beautiful babies." Phoebe said smiling at him.
"But how? We never got together or anything."
"I know." Phoebe smiled.
"You mind telling me?"
"Sure." Phoebe said nodding. "Remember when you donated to the sperm bank to pay for technical school that year?"
"Yeah. Little Joeys made me a little money." Joey said chuckling.
"Well it was a while after I had the triplets for Frank and Alice so I decided to get artificially inseminated again. I went to the sperm bank looking for a tall dark and handsome veggie lover like me. But I found out that you still had some uh stock in the bank. I then decided what better father to my children than my best friend Joey."
"Ah Pheebs." Joey smiled.
"Yeah. And I had twins as you can see." Phoebe said stroking Sunsets head. "So the Tribianni and Buffay legacy both gets to live on."
"That is so cool!" Joey leaned over and picked Sunset up. He held him in his arms. He then looked up at the wedding party. "Hey guys!" He held Sunset over his head. "I'm a daddy!"
"Congratulations man!" Ross said from his spot with Rachel.
"Way to go dude!" Chandler said from the buffet table. When he realised people stared at him, he put down his big plate of food and stiffly walked away.
Rachel watched him go.
"Ross I'm gonna talk to Chandler. He seems a bit down." Rachel said kissing Ross on the cheek.
"Don't take to long." Ross said. "I'm reserving this dance spot for us."
"I'll definately come back then." Rachel said smiling. She let go of his hand and followed Chandler.

Rachel found Chandler near the balcony on the patio.
"Chandler?" Rachel asked. "Are you all right? You seem a little blue."
"I'm all right. I'm just upset that Monica got dumped on her wedding day." Chandler turned to her.
"Why do I feel there is more to the story?"
"What makes you feel that?" Chandler shrugged.
"Well you were talking to Monica earlier about something emotional and I gathered thats why you came out here."
"Yeah. You're right."
"Come on." Rachel touched his arm. "You can tell me. We are friends now arent we?"
Chandler didnt answer. He turned away. Rachel pulled him back around.
"Arent we?" Rachel looked at his eyes. "Oh my god."
"What?" Chandler said turning again.
"You're still in love with me arent you?"
"What makes you think that?"
"Well the way youre acting, like you're hiding something." Rachel said. "Tell me the truth."
"Its true Rachel." Chandler turned to her. "I'm still in love with you. But theres not a damn thing I can do about it."
"Oh Chandler. I had no idea." Rachel hugged Chandler. "But I don't know what to tell you. I still love Ross." "Anything from you would sound real good right now."
"Chandler we gotta stay friends." Rachel said pulling from him. "Ok?"
"Ok." Chandler said pouting. "But I wont like it."
"Fake it." Rachel said winking at him.
"Rachel?" Ross said coming through the door.
"Ross?" Rachel turned around. "You were looking for me?"
"Yeah, I had our spot saved for us. Its the last dance of the evening."
"Why don't you guys dance out here." Chandler offered. "I gotta give Phoebe and Mon a lift home anyway."
"Ok." Rachel said. "See you later."
Chandler waved from the door. He stayed for a second and watched them dance closely. He then sighed and briefly thought of what might have been before leaving Ross and Rachel to dance.
