Peter's fan fiction draft


F.R.I.E.N.D.S Fan fiction

I am a big fan of friends and I was disappointed with how they ended everything. Here is my take 4 months later on exactly how the group all separated after the show:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What Ross?!" her anger was sharp and present as she went around in a circle like a dog chasing its tail "I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner..but It will be better for all of us really" Ross replied hastily. Suddenly the room was very silent and the tension had somehow subsided. Rachel took a deep breath as she slowly sat down on the scotch guarded lounge suite. "Is this the best decision for all of us Ross?" she finally said. Ross and Rachel had moved out from their apartments in down town New York to a quiet suburban area in New Jersey only 4 months ago and already events were changing drastically. Almost too fast for Rachel she thought. Meanwhile Emily their daughter was sleeping peacefully in her crib upstairs. "It will be, really" Ross said.

"This new position will be exactly what our family needs and it is the opportunity of a life time for me" Ross sounded almost unrealistic as he held her hand for support. Colorado state University had contacted Ross a week ago offering him a position as head of department of Anthropology and he had been in a state of euphoria since then, just he was not sure how to break the news. His sister Monica had already moved to the countryside of New Jersey with her twins and he felt that New Jersey nor New York held any benefits for his family. "Colorado Rachel... Beautiful scenery. Beautiful, just like you. I know you will like it if you gave it a chance. Emily can attend a nice country school and it will definitely be future proof" His smile and the way he expressed those words made Rachel sigh and they held eachother. "Fine fine fine, I will get Emily and you can tell the others" .

Post it notes were always the perfect way to get someone's attention and get it quickly. Ross wanted to make sure tonight's farewell party went smoothly. To his delight this time it had worked perfectly. Everyone in their neighbourhood had turned up to his back yard party. "I am going to miss you guys heaps. But Colorado Ross... really? I know you were lame all this time but this is a whole new low for you" Phoebe smirked. "We will be fine thanks" Ross gave the same expression back in return. Phoebe had been their closet friend for over ten years and so was Joey which made this evening extra special. "Joey heard you were leaving us as well? Whats the plan?" Ross questioned "well.. I am planning to start my own sit com series which stars me.. I think I will call it Joey" He winked. "Erm how imaginative.." Ross said as he backed away. Joey has always been the clown in the group and still after so many years he had not changed a single bit.

Emily and Rachel came out with their fanciest clothes and everyone started to clap and whistle almost like they were celebrities down a red carpet. "Ain't this a little too overboard Rachel?" Ross obviosuly referring to their grand entrance "Well Ross, I wanted to ensure everyone remembered my taste of style and also Emily looks great as well don't you think?" She replied in a smug expression. Without another word Ross grabbed the nearest wine glass and fork and hit it gently to gather the party goers attention. "Thank you everyone for coming tonight in such short notice. In the past 4 months our time here has been amazing and you have all been so helpful. Our closet friends Joey and Phoebe with my sister Monica and her husband Chandler have all come together one last time to celebrate" Pause "They all have great futures ahead of them and I am sure they will succeed" the people clapped and jeered "I have taken a new job in Colorado and me and my lovely partner with my daughter Emily have all decided to take it and move as soon as possible" he could clearly see the shock in the eyes of those that did not know this already.

"One last time we will raise a glass to all our wonderful memories that we had" Joey quickly had a childish grin on his face clearly thinking of those memories. After his speech all the friends and neighbours came to congratulate them and hug them. Only hours was Rachel angry at Ross but now she was clearly tearful and emotional as she hugged her friends. Ross grabbed the nearest beer and took one to Joey and Chandler. "Once friends, we will always be friends" And passed a bottle around and all toasted.

  4. I love friends as well so this was very fun to read. I like how the characters in friends connected with the real friends sitcom, such as Joey always being the clown, Rachel beautiful, etc. Look forward to reading your final one.
