Friends Reunited

I have said it before and I will say it again; Friends is one of the best TV shows ever made, ever. I watch it almost every single day (I just finished season 10 so I am taking a Will & Grace break right now). The show ended on May 4th 2004, thats almost 10 years for those who are counting. I think we are due a mini reunion, a crazy kick-ass feature length reunion. These characters were big parts of people's lives and I think it would be nice for the writers to get together and tell us what the hell the gang are upto. 

The way we left it was that Rachel got off the plane and got back together with Ross, Chandler and Monica welcomed a set of twins into the Bing dynasty, Phoebe was married to Mike and wanting to start a family and Joey .... was there. (I know in the spin off he went off to Hollywood, but we don't talk about that). So, as I am sure many Friends fans have, I have fantasised what they could be upto - I even wrote a little synopsis for an episode/movie if you will. So lets go ...

Date - Thanksgiving 2013
Location - Monica and Chandler's House

Monica and Chandler
Still very happily married and Monica has thrived in her role as a mother. Her daughter Erica has blossomed into a mini-Monica and Jack has turned into a Joey replacement for Chandler. Through the stress of being a full time Mum, Monica has piled the weight on again and once again become my favourite type of Monica (fat Monica). Still very much in charge of cooking dinner for everyone and their families. Chandler is the 'cool Dad' and lets the kids get away with everything.

Rachel and Ross
Hurrah, they made it and they are together! Emma is now 11 years old and she has a little brother (Darwin). Rachel is still unfulfilled by her job and still wonders what would of happened if she took her big break in France. Ross is oblivious as he now has exactly what he wanted since he was 19. They still haven't got married, as they have both had had failed relationships before (potential heart warming moment as they decide to get married in Monica and Chandler's garden as all their friends and families are already there), plus Rachel can't find the perfect wedding dress, we all saw her previous effort.

Phoebe and Mike
Still together aswell. Mike is a successful musician and always on tour. Super fertile Phoebe now has a set of triplets all of her own (Phoebo, Mike Jr and Princess Consuela).Phoebe has become what she never thought she would be, a soccer mom. Picking out china patterns and painting her picket white fence are a joy. However it is Phoebe so she still has her freak inside of her and still regales in telling people about that time a pimp spat in her mouth. 'Smelly Cat' is now her kids lullaby much to their dismay.

Joey
Back from Hollywood with mixed results, he now lives in the room Monica and Chandler set aside for him while he decides what to do. Still an eligible bachelor, still never having found a woman to tame his wild single man ways. Now he wants to grow up so he is looking for Mrs Tribiani. Auditioning for roles in New York and teaching acting he is happy but knows something is missing from his life -  a family of his own.

Possible Storylines

• Janice did get that house next door. Many chances for Janice to 'accidentally' catch Chandler in uncompromising positions. 
• Ross' and Monica's parents bring a lonely Richard over for Thanksgiving dinner.
• Gunther has also moved to the suburbs - has a wife called Rachel.
• David has finally admitted defeat with his science career, he unfortunately delivers pizza to Phoebe's apartment.
• Monica goes to jail after her ex-landlord realises she was illegally sub-letting her apartment for so many years.
• Ross and Monica's routine saves the show at their kids talent show.

There are so many possibilities, don't be afraid to share any ideas - kind of running dry now I am trying to think. Every episode 'Friends' told us they would be there for us - hopefully they keep that promise.
