F.R.I.E.N.D.S - ix

 Of all the drama series that I’ve watched, “Friends” will always be my heart’s favorite. Like first love, since it was the first ever drama series that I binge watched, it lead me to explore a whole new world of entertainment, stretching across different genres that I would’ve never tried if not for this series. The impact left by this series has been quite deep rooting in the sense that, unknowingly it had left quite an impression on my lifestyle and psyche. Now that I realize, round neck full sleeved plain colored tee shirts worn by Ross and Joey had already became my favorites go to clothes. The pun quips by Chandler whenever he meets someone new or ends in awkward situations, which are never mutually exclusive, continues to be my way of speak. Thanks to Comedy central tv channel for keeping my link with the sitcom by rerunning the series several million times. Despite the season finale happening almost 17 years back, for a series that saw its pilot being premiered a whopping 27 years ago, it still retains its freshness. Even though it is majorly a comic one, the emotional connect the characters achieved with the audience is unparalleled I would say. The concept of friends, a mixed bag of guys and girls, how their inter relationships go through ups and down but how their bonding prevails over everything, coupled with media boom and internet revolution, the list is endless as to what contributed to the stupendous success that made this series. But the core reason that it, being a good product, had outlasted 3 decades of existence remains unrivalled. Here comes yet another attempt at a fan made episode of the evergreen series.   

At the laundry room:

Ross and Joey see a hot girl and rushes to get introduced to her.

“Hi I am Dr. Ross” a beaming Ross shakes hands with her, having won the “race” with Joey

“Duh..He is not a real doc.. at the best he is a coroner of Dino's that were dead a zillion years back. By the way”, Joey offers his hand and introduces himself ”Joey Tribbiani actor/model. You might have seen me on Days of our lives” 

“Bah..Considering the number of retakes you need you are not an actor but more of a reactor” mocks Ross

Soon both enter into one-upmanship of mocking each other with petty insults only to realize that neither were responded back to by the hot girl who leaves the laundry room in panic.

“Any idea when she left?” queries Joey

“Probably around the time we were discussing our fashion in clothing” nods Ross

Chandler pops in with his laundry and is surprised to see Joey.

“Hey..how come you are here?You never wash your clothes here!!”

“I heard there was a hot girl in our apartment and was wondering if I could catch a meet with her. Apparently Ross and his insecurity drove her away”

“That is not true..so why you are not using laundry?” 

“This is a confusing place. I don't want to wear my dirty clothes to get them Washed!” says Joey 

Ross has “What?” written all over his face. 

“Look at that sign. It says “please put on your clothes while doing laundry'. If they are clean enough to wear why would i wash it nor am I comfortable doing laundry naked” explains Joey

Ross has so many questions cramming his mind at the same time he has difficulty speaking to which Chandler sagely gives an understanding nod. 


Phoebe, Rachel and Monica visits Ross in his new apartment.

“Wow..this apartment blocks has names for each floors. What's the name of this flat” 

“Earth” says Ross proudly 

“Wait..So Ross, you don’t believe in flat earth theory but actually live on one?” mock queries Rachel 

Soon Joey and Chandler joins them for dinner at Ross’s apartment. When what looks like a wishing bone ends up on Ross’s hand, he playfully makes a wish, serious only to himself.

"What did u wish for?" queries Monica 

"A live dinosaur egg and date with a super brainy hot gal" says Ross 

"Basically extinction to be reversed" comments Chandler for which Ross throws the bone at him.

"Ok fellows. Knock yourself out. I have to start early tomorrow. Good night" says Ross as he goes to his bedroom. 

Chandler, Rachel and Monica picks a cab while Joey hitches a ride with Phoebe.

They are discussing about weird things done by people known to them when Monica says

“You know Joey doesn't like the alphabet D” 

“Why?” asks a surprised Rachel 

“Per him, most of bad words starts with D - Dull dead dumb dread ..so on” 

“Well..Delight is a d word and I guess there is nothing bad about it” wonders Chandler 

“May be..but it is outnumbered by the bad words”

“Well..The only D I am worried about is Dollar. As long as there are more of that D word, rest of the alphabets can take care of itself” says Chandler to which others laughingly agree.
