An XOXOElizabethXOXO Creation

A/N: Okay! This is my newest story! I had a dream about this last night and kind of added some stuff and here it is! KNOW THIS: This is a totally fictional fanfic. There is no particular season that this is based on, there is no way to incorporate this to an episode of friends or the friends characters, it is simply a story WITH the characters and their traits as the main characters, okay? I repeat: There is no way this is a believable story, and I know this, so please DO NOT FLAME, thank you! : ) PS: Monica and Chandler, Rachel and Ross, and MAYBE Joey and Phoebe! This is my VERY FIRST REAL crack at a Mondler story, so be kind!

"Welcome back!" Chandler greeted his long lost friend.

"Great to see ya!" Ross exclaimed as he stepped off of the gates of the plane. Both friends embraced for a moment before heading down to the luggage claim.

"How was the flight?" Chandler asked.

"Oh, long. The weather here looks wonderful. I haven't seen snow in about three years!" Ross said glancing out the window.

"That's funny, I haven't seen the sun in about three years. The only time my company will let me take days off is in fall and winter. I am stuck in the office all summer." Chandler groaned.

"That's mine." Ross said seizing a large black bag and heaving it over his shoulders. "So, how's the bride to be?" Ross asked in a teasing tone.

"Erica?"

"No, the OTHER woman you are marrying next month?" Ross asked sarcastically. "Yes, Erica."

"Oh, nervous. As am I. I am glad you made it back here. It's going to be nice having a bachelor party a month in advance." Chandler said curtly.

"Hey, I apologized for that. With this new job opportunity I will be coming back to New York at 3:00 am! You'll be lucky if I don't sleep during your whole damn wedding!" he laughed.

"Well, you'd better not! You're the best man!"

Both strode out to the car that was waiting for them. Chandler Bing was indeed engaged to a lovely veterinarian named Erica Cunningham. He met her at a fundraiser his company was putting together for endangered and harmed animals. Being the pet lover she was, she was the first one there. She stole Chandler's heart. But Chandler had other skeletons in his closet. A long past, weird parents and a crush he has long from forgotten. He has lived in New York ever since he was out on his own at the age of 18. He's a cartoon writer and animator.

Ross Geller however, was a successful TV show star, (for a Discovery Channel talk show) who just recently moved to New York for another show opportunity and the chance to be closer to family and friends. He has just talked to his family recently, but rarely talks to his sister, Monica Geller. She has kind of seperated herself from the family. He is lucky if he talks to her on the phone, and if he does, the conversation is never about her.

Chandler and Ross walked into the building that Chandler now occupied. It was a nice little apartment with lots of flowers and female touches here and there. Ross set his stuff down. A tall brunette man walked over and smiled.

"Hi!" He smiled. Ross looked at Chandler for an introduction.

"Oh, Ross, this is Joey Tribbianni. Joey, this is Ross Geller." Chandler said flatly as he thumbed through his mail. The men shook hands.

"Nice to meet you." They said in unison.

"Oh my God, Chandler, you didn't tell me that this Ross guy was cute!" A female voice rang. Ross spun around to see a tall woman with long, curly red hair and green eyes. (A/N: Think, Debra Messing? "Will and Grace")

"Hi." Ross extended his hand for a handshake.

"Oh, only strangers shake hands. Friends gotta hug!" She said in a baby voice. Ross looked over at Chandler with a strange smile. She embraced Ross whom was less than willing. "I'm Erica." She smiled broadly.

"Oh, you lucky man!" He said to Chandler almost sarcastically.

"Well, seeing that it's now 6:00, I guess I should be going to my bachelorette party. I'll leave you boys to it." She smiled and kissed Chandler goodbye. She looked at him for a moment and gave him a quick worried look. "Don't do anything you wouldn't do if Jesus were here." She smiled again. "Bye Honey!" And with that, she left.

"Wow." Ross sighed.

"Let me guess you don't like her? Well, I'M happy, okay?" Chandler said defensively

"No, No! Chandler, she's great. She's quite a character. She's just a lot to take in after a ten hour flight and 4 martinis." Ross joked. Joey high fived him.

"I like this guy." Joey beamed. "Okay, the strippers will be here in about an hour, so let's get this party started. The rest of your guests will be here soon too." Joey said looking at his watch.

"Strippers? You got me strippers?" Chandler asked. "Did you not HEAR the Jesus comment? Erica would be furious!" Chandler said looking out the window.

"Erica's not here." Joey said getting the food out for the party. "So relax."

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))***(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((

"All you need is more blush." A tall blonde woman said leaning over a vanity. She was helping a light-brunette woman with her make up. "Okay, maybe too much." She said whipping some off. "God, just let me do it!" She laughed.

"Well, I'm sorry you give bad directions, Phoebe!" The woman sighed. "I've only been doing this for 4 months, give me a break.

"Rachel, you're a natural. Plus, it doesn't take four months to learn how to apply make up." Phoebe said blending some red powder into Rachel's cheeks.

"What are you two bickering about now?" Monica, a dark haired woman asked stepping into the room. "Aren't you guys supposed to be done? We have to be at that Bachelor party in an hour! Let's get a move on!"

Yes, that's right. Monica Geller. Actually known as: Chastity. (Her stripper name.) She has been avoiding her parents for years now all because she is afraid of their judgment. She lost her job at a local restaurant and met Phoebe, who took Monica under her wing. She has only been stripping for 10 months now. She hasn't seen Ross for many years and does miss him, but knows how he would act if he knew what she was doing to herself. But the simple fact is, she likes her job in many ways. It's not something she plans on sticking with fro much longer, but she likes it.

Rachel, or Francesca, is a young ex wife whom just lost EVERYTHING in her divorce. She was only married for one year to Barry, and it was only for the money because she neither cared nor loved him. While married to Barry, she quit her job at a local fashion shop, so she had to find a way to make ends meet. She only recently became a stripper four months ago after running into Monica, whom she used to be best friends with, and she is planning of quitting once she opens her small clothes and accessories boutique.

Last is Phoebe, whose stage name is Kiki. She has had a rough life and became a stripper at the tender age of 16, claiming that she was actually 18. She has a habit of getting new lovers in an instant, most of them married or involved with another woman. (Or in two cases, involved with another man) But Kiki has never been known to surrender her heart.

"Okay, are we ready to go now?" Monica asked impatiently. She buckled her strappy shoes.

"Yes. Who ordered us?" Rachel asked.

"God, you make us sound like a couple of pizzas." Monica sighed rolling her eyes.

"Joey Tribbianni. It's for his friends bachelor party." Phoebe said reading the address off of the little white piece of paper.

"Okay, let's go."

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))***((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( (((((((((((((((((

The apartment was filled with men. Tall men, short men, blonde men, brunette men. Lots of men. Chandler, Joey and Ross stayed in their own area of the apartment and chatted.

"So Joey, how's your TV show?" Ross asked. Joey smiled.

"It's doing so great. I love that show." Joey said. He was the star off the sexy new sitcom, "Between the Sheets." Joey himself was a loving frat boy with a heart of gold. He loved to have a good time. He used to be Chandler's roommate until he landed the leading role in the sitcom. There was a loud knock at the door.

"Uh-oh! It looks like we have some more guests!" Joey exclaimed. "Don't worry Chandler, these are the best and hottest chicks in the whole place!" Joey whispered as he ran over to the door. Joey looked through the peephole and let out a little squeal. He opened the door. "Come on in, ladies." Joey bowed. The three strippers walked in. Chandler and Ross continued to talk, not paying attention. Chandler knew that if Erica found out, she would be very angry with him.

"Where's the groom to be?" A woman's voice called out. Chandler turned red as he looked down. Phoebe walked towards him. "Chandler Bing." She smiled. "Congratulations. Have a seat." She said pulling him to a chair in the middle of the room. Monica went white as she looked at Rachel.

"Chandler Bing?" She asked. Rachel when white too.

"No, Mon, maybe it's a different Chandler Bing." She suggested. Monica rolled her eyes.

"Yes because so many people are naming their kids Chandler Bing these days."

"Is that Ross?" Rachel asked, pointing to the tall man with black hair. Monica began to cough.

"We have to go." She said quickly.

"Mon, we can't! I am almost at my goal, and no one will recognize you!" Rachel whispered.

"Monica?!" Ross said nearing her. Monica glared at Rachel.

"Yea Ross, it's me." She said flatly. Ross was about to question her when he looked over at the other stripper.

"Oh my God, Rachel?"

"Actually, it's Francesca." Rachel joked.

"How did this....why did you....what did....?" Ross stumbled.

"Don't waste your breath, we're leaving." Monica said quickly as she took Rachel's hand.

"Monica?" Another male voice called. The voice went down Monica's spine. She turned around slowly and smiled uncomfortably.

"Hi Chandler."
