-February 1st 1997-
I am at my apartment reading scripts when my phone rings.I pick up the phone and answer it to hear my agent Carlos on the other end.
(Carlos:Hey Liz.
Elizabeth:Hey Carlos.Whats up?.
Carlos:I have a few gigs for you...But they come with a catch.
Elizabeth:Okay Carlos you know by now you can be foreward with me.
Carlos:You will be gone from home till March 25th.
Elizabeth:Okay um I'll call you later.
Carlos:Okay.)
I finish up my phone call with Carlos and I sigh.Maybe a month and a half away from home will do me good...With all this stuff that's been happening.
-February 2nd 1997-
Yesterday I called Carlos back and I told him I'd take the gigs...Now I have to tell my friends...I walk into Central Perk and I see everyone.
Everyone:Hey Liz.
Elizabeth:Hey guys.
Phoebe:What are you up to?.
Elizabeth:I actually have just been offered 2 gigs.
Joey:Then why do you look sad?.
Elizabeth:Well I'll be gone away from home for almost 2 months...
Everyone:What?.
Elizabeth:Look these are big roles.I will be appearing in 2 movies as a character in this time frame.I will be leaving tommorow.
