-June 3rd 1995-
I walk into Rachel and Monica's apartment after work and I see Rachel and Phoebe talking and Ross and Joey in the room.
Rachel:How is she?.
Phoebe:It's too soon to tell.She's resting which is a good sign.
Ross:How's the hair?.
Phoebe:I'm not gonna lie to you Ross it doesn't look good.I put a clip on one side which seems to have stopped the curling.
Joey:Can we see her?.
Phoebe:Your hair looks too good I think it would upset her.Ross why don't you come on in.
Ross: Yeah."Gets up".
Phoebe and Ross go into the bedroom leaving Me,Joey and Rachel alone.
Joey:How're you doing?.
Rachel:I'm okay.
Joey:Ooh that bad huh?.
Rachel:What?.
Joey:Look I can sense when women are depressed and vulnerable.It's one of my gifts.
Rachel:When I saw him get off that plane with her I really thought I hit rock bottom. But today it's like there's rock bottom 50 feet of crap then me.
Joey:You gotta tell Ross how you feel.
Rachel:Come on.How can I just tell him?. What about Julie?.
Joey:What about her?.They've only been going out for two weeks.Ross has been in love with you for like 10 years.
Rachel:I don't know,I don't know.
Joey:Look Rach,Rach!.I've been with my share of women.In fact I've been with like a lot of people's share of women.The point is I've never felt about anyone the way Ross felt about you.
When Joey says that my heart breaks but I suck it up as the apartment door opens.
Chandler:"Entering angry".Yo paisan!.Can I talk to you for a sec?.Your tailor is a very bad man!.
Joey:Frankie?.What're you talking about?.
Ross:"Entering".Hey what's going on?.
Ross pats Chandler on the shoulder which causes Chandler to jump.
Chandler:Joey's tailor...took advantage of me.
Ross:What?.
Joey:No way.I've been going to the guy for 12 years.
Chandler:Oh come on!.He said he was going to do my inseam and he ran his hand up my leg and then there was definite...
Ross:What?.
Chandler:Cupping.
Joey:That's how they do pants!.First they go up one side,They move it over,Then they go up the other side,They move it back and then they do the rear.
Me,Chandler and Ross stare at Joey.
Joey:What?.Tabby would you tell him?.Isn't that how they measure pants?.
Tabitha:Yes,Yes it is.In prison!.Whats the matter with you?.
Joey:What?.That's not?...Oh my God.
Tabitha:Yeah...Chan I'm sorry this happened to you.
Chandler:Yeah...Thanks.

-June 12th 1995-
I can't sleep so I leave my apartment and walk the halls downstairs as quietly as I can.As I pace a hallway a door opens and a man I know from the group as Mr.Hecklee steps out.
Heckles:Hey your doing it again...My cat can't sleep.Tabitha.
Tabitha:I am sorry Mr.Hecklee I just couldn't sleep tonight.I'll go to my apartment and try to keep it down if you wa-
Heckles:No need kid.I have times I can't sleep either...If you don't mind messes...You could come in.
Tabitha:I don't mind...Thanks Mr.Heckles.
I go into his apartment to see he wasn't lying about the mess.
Heckles:I uh was lying about the cat.
I chuckle and nod.
Tabitha:To bad I wanted to pet it.
Heckles:"Smiles".Now here is a tip for sleep I've learnt...Warm milk and happy thoughts.
Tabitha:And fairy dust?.
Mr.Heckles laughs at my joke which makes me smile.
Heckles:Only if your Wendy.
Tabitha:"Teases".I could be Wendy.
Heckles:"Smiles".You catch on quick.
Tabitha:Thank you.
The two of us talk for an hour and soon I grow tired as i yawn.
Tabitha:I think I'm ready to sleep now...Thank you for your hospitality Mr.Heckles.
Heckles:Your welcome kid.
He walks me out and we say our goodbyes and I leave to my apartment to finally sleep.
-June 13th 1995-
The next day at Monica and Rachel's apartment Chandler enters.
Chandler:Hey.
Monica:So how was Joan?.
Chandler:I broke up with her.
Chandler then begins to talk about Joan's nostrils.
Chandler:They were huge.When she sneezed bats flew out of them.
Rachel:Come on they were not that huge.
Chandler:I'm telling you she leaned back I could see her brain.
Monica:How many perfectly fine women are you gonna reject over the most superficial insignificant things?.
Joey:Hold it,Hold it.I gotta side with Chandler on this one.When I first moved to the city I went out a couple of times with this girl really hot,great kisser but she had the biggest Adam's apple.It made me nuts.
Chandler look at all of us as I hold back a laugh.
Chandler:You or me?.
Ross:I got it.Uh Joey women don't have Adam's apples.
Joey:You guys are messing with me right?.
Everyone:Yeah.
Joey:That was a good one.For a second there I was like whoa.
I hold back a laugh.
Phoebe:You name one woman that you broke up with for a real reason.
Chandler:Maureen Rosilla.
Ross:Not hating Yanni is not a real reason.
There is a knock at the door and Monica answers it.
Monica:Hello Mr.Heckles.
Heckles:You're doing it again.
Monica:We're not doing anything.
Heckles:You're stomping.It's disturbing my birds.
Rachel:You don't have birds.
Heckles:I could have birds.
Monica:Ok Mr.Heckles we'll try to keep it down.
Heckles:Thank you.I'm going to rejoin my dinner party.
Rachel:All right bye-bye.
I open the door and leave to catch up to Mr.Heckles.
Tabitha:I just wanted to thank you again...I hope I'm not disturbing you to getting back to your dinner party.
Heckles:There is no dinner party.
Tabitha:I know i just wanted to play along."Smirks".But on a serious note...Mr.Heckles you aren't a bad guy.Your welcome to my place anytime.
Heckles:Thank you...Uh I have to get back now.
I nod and we say our goodbyes.I go into the apartment and as i do I hear a thumping and feel it from the floor.
Monica:Stop with the broom we're not making noise.
Soon everyone but me starts jumping on the floor and then it stops.
Rachel:We won.We won!.
I sigh and think of Mr.Heckles...He must be lonely...Before I know it we are gathered at his apartment as his body is taken away and my heart breaks.
Monica:Mr.Heckles.
Rachel:How did this happen?.
Treeger:He musta been sweeping.They found a broom in his hand.
Monica:That's terrible.
Treeger:I know.I was sweeping yesterday.It coulda been me.
Ross:Sure sweeping.You never know.
Treeger:You never know.
Tabitha:If you excuse me i have something to tend to.
I leave to my apartment and open the door after walking in I close it and I immediately start to cry.
Tabitha:"Crying". You were a great friend Mr.Heckles.
