20 The One With The Blackout 1

SMART Building

SMART Building

Adam was laying on his bed when he had when he got a phone call from Ross "hey, what's up" he said after picking up the phone.

[Had a hunch you would not know about it or even experience it given as you might have your own power system]

Ross voice came from the other side of the phone call.

Adam frowned after hearing what Ross said, he was so tired today after a very stressful day and he do not have time for games as he just wants to sleep right now "what is it, Ross? Just say it" he said.

[There has been a blackout in the entire Manhattan, Adam. We are in complete darkness]

Phoebe voice was what Adam heard from the voice.

When Adam heard what she said, that's when he remained the episode where the entire city as well as the neighbouring cities experienced a blackout. The episode where Ross wanted to confess to Rachel about the feeling he had for her but instead got mangled by a stray cat which led Rachel to look for its owner and eventually fell for that idiot Paolo. Also, Chandler was also stuck in the ATM vestibule with Jill Goodarce.

Speaking of Jill Goodarce, Adam immediately regained his strength and stood up, he walked to his wardrobe and picked up something nice to wear.

"So where are you guys right now and is Chandler with you?" Adam asked while getting dressed.

[We are at Monica's apartment and Chandler is not here with us. Why, do you want something from him?] Joey answered.

Hearing that, Adam knew that Chandler hasn't called yet, so he hasteningly ran out of his room "hey, call you back, need to check out what's wrong that lead to the blackout" Adam said as he quickly disconnected the call and made his way out of his building.

Monica's Apartment

"What's wrong with him? One minute he is acting all sleepy and the next minute, he is energized. There is something fishy here and he also asked about Chandler. Are those two up to something?" Phoebe asked as it was her turn to speak on the phone before Adam disconnected making her a little angry which led to come up with the conspiracy theory.

After the call was disconnected, the group disbanded with Phoebe going to call her grandma to check up on her while Monica had a call from her mother, Ross and Rachel sat together when Rachel started telling him about her fantasy and how she wants passion in her relationship, blah, blah, blah, leaving Joey on his own who well, he is Joey.

After a while, Monica had to hang up on her mother when she had a call from Chandler. Immediately she alerted the others who quickly came over to go back to their routine.

"Remember, I was the one who was supposed to speak last before Adam hung up us" said Phoebe while reminding her friends in case they forgot, seeing as they all agreed by not saying anything, she continued "hey, Chandler. How are you doing there?"

[Yeah, I'm fine. Imdsgsjsjjsgsvshnnsvsg jikk goodatfw (I'm stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodarce)].

Chandler voice was heard over the phone.

Phoebe frown when she heard what Chandler said as she could not understand a single thing he said, she turned to the next person after her which is Monica.

"What" Monica asked him making him repeat himself

[Imdsgsjsjjsgsvshnnsvsg jikk goodatfw (I'm stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodarce)].

"I have no idea what you just said"

Monica gave up as she did not know what was wrong with Chandler making him speak like that.

[Put Joey on the Phone]

Monica passed the phone to Joey "what's up, man?" Said Joey.

[Imdsgsjsjjsgsvshnnsvsg jikk goodatfw (I'm stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodarce)].

"Oh, my God! He's trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodarce" Joey who apparently understood the gibberish Chandler was saying.

The others raised a brow at Joey as they did not know how he was able understand that.

But they didn't dwell on that when they heard where Chandler was and who he was with.

"Chandler, listen, listen.. (Bunch of gibberish)"

[Yeah, like that thought never entered my mind]

They talk for a while until Chandler disconnected the call.

"Damn, Chandler is one lucky fellow" Ross said as as he and Rachel continued their conversation.

The others also went back to what they were doing.

"I've just never had a relationship with that kind of passion, where you have to have somebody even in a theme park"

Rachel said as Ross silently listened to her with a cup of coffee in his hands.

"Well, it was the only thing to do that didn't have a line" said Ross making Rachel laugh a little.

After that, they both had small talks with Rachel leading the conversation and Ross giving her support in the best way he can and encouraged her to continue having her dream of finding passion in a relationship.

"Aww, you are so sweet"

Rachel said as she raffle Ross's hairs making him very stupidly happy over nothing and left to join the other girls.

Joey was sitting on the cushion as he happened to overhear their conversation and saw what Rachel just did "it's never gonna happen" Joey said to a very happy and excited Ross.

Ross paused and turned to look at Joey who acted like he didn't say anything and asked "what?"

Joey stopped what he was doing and looked up to Ross "you and Rachel" he said.

Ross chuckled and acted like he did not know anything about what Joey was talking about "what? Me and Rachel?" He asked while still acting oblivious but seeing as Joey wasn't saying anything, he stopped denying and continued "why not?"

After Ross stopped his pretense, Joey looked up at him again "that's because you waited too long to make your move, and now you are in the 'friend zone'" said Joey while standing up from the cushion.

"I'm not in the zone"

"Oh, Ross, you are mayor of the Zone"

Ross would not still accept that he is friend zoned and believed that he was just going on the right pace "look, I'm taking my time, all right? I'm laying the groundwork. Yeah, every day, I get a little bit closer to umm...."

"Priesthood" Joey interrupted Ross who would not still wake up to reality "look Ross, I'm telling you, she has no idea what you're thinking" he continued as he walked to Ross standing face to face with him.

"Oh yeah, she just ran her fingers through my hair, were you missing that interaction?" Ross still would not back down.

"No, no, no. This is running fingers through your hair, okay? Now this is a tousle" Joey showed him the difference between the two with his hairs before he continued "if you don't ask her out soon, you'll be in the Zone forever"

"I will, I will. I'm just waiting for the right moment" said Ross getting a stare from Joey who was wondering if all the things he just said even got inside his head.

Ross was getting uncomfortable with the starring contest between the two of them until he understood what Joey meant by that look "what, now?"

"Yeah" joey answered as he continued "what's messing you up? The wine? The moonlight? The candles? Huh, you just gotta go up to her and say 'look, Rachel, i"

Before Joey could say anything any further, Ross stopped him when he was Rachel coming.

She asked what was going on but they deflected her question and talked about another things.

ATM Vestibule

Adam drove to the ATM vestibule where Chandler was after going to like two other ATM vestibule.

"Okay, this is it"
