This takes place after Ex-Girlfriend. Ever since the gang arrived in Florida, Tonya has been causing trouble for Chandler and Monica. Now, Monica thinks that Chandler has feelings for
Cassandra, and Chandler thinks that Monica might have a thing for Scott. Monica was about to confront Chandler about it, but Cassandra walked in and interrupted them. Instead of
Chandler staying to talk to Monica, he left the room to talk to her. When Chandler returned, he found a note from Monica saying that she needed some time to think. Tonya came into
their room that night and told him that Monica and Scott were at a hotel together. Let's see how it turns out.....

Chandler tossed and turned all night long. He couldn't stop thinking about what Tonya told him about
Monica and Scott. In the back of his mind, he knew that it was ridiculous. Monica wouldn't do that.
Tonya is just stirring up trouble again to break us up, he told himself, but he had his doubts. Chandler
felt completely helpless. Monica was gone and he didn't know where she was. He'd given up on falling
asleep. Instead, he laid in the bed with the phone in his hands. He wanted to straighten things out with
her. Before he went into Cassandra's room to talk to her, Monica mentioned that she wanted to talk to
him about something. He thought about it all night. It made no sense for Monica to throw away a two
year relationship that was going really well, for a guy she didn't know that well. He needed answers,
and he needed them now. He knew that Phoebe and Rachel knew what was going on, but it was too
early in the morning to bother them.

Monica had just gotten out of the shower. She couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about Chandler. The
whispering between him and Cassandra bothered her. It was weird, but she felt like she was over
reacting. Whenever she tried to picture the two of them together, she couldn't. She only saw them as
just friends. She sat on the bed feeling very confused. She had no intentions of breaking up with
Chandler. She just needed a quiet place to think things over. She didn't want to accuse him of cheating
because she didn't want him to think that she didn't trust him. She wanted to pick up the phone to call
him, but she forced herself not to. She needed a little more time to think. She needed to make sense
out of everything.

Just as Chandler drifted off to sleep, there was a knock at the door, and he jumped up.

"Monica?"

Phoebe and Rachel peaked inside, then slowly walked in.

"It's just us." Rachel said.

Chandler looked at his watch. It was 10am.

"You guys haven't heard from Mon?"

"No, we came in here to ask you that?" Phoebe said.

"Please tell me what's going on?" Chandler begged.

Neither Phoebe nor Rachel wanted to tell Chandler what Monica was thinking, but they saw no other
way.

"Chandler, Monica's not interested in Scott."

"Then what?"

"She thinks that you and Cassandra...have feelings for each other."

"What!" Where did she get an idea like that?"

"Well, you've been gone more often, and you're usually out with Cassandra. Plus, Tonya has made
Monica doubt you, and you doubt her." Phoebe said.

"Do you know where she is?"

"No. She didn't tell anybody where she was going."

"Tonya had the nerve to come in here last night to tell me that Monica and Scott were at a hotel
together."

"What? Don't tell me you believe her?" Rachel said.

"No, I don't. It's just that all this makes no sense."

"Of course it does. I can sum it up for you in one word. Tonya." Phoebe said.

"Chandler, I don't want you to get pissed at me for asking this question, but what the hell possessed
you to be with Tonya?" Rachel said.

"I don't know. I do know that I have to find Monica, and I think I know where she is." He said getting
out of bed.

Phoebe and Rachel went with Chandler to go find Monica. They went to the hotel that she stayed at
two years ago when she came down with Ross. He didn't have any luck finding her though. She wasn't
staying there. The person at the desk said that there was no one by the name of Monica Geller staying
there.

"I can't believe this. I was so sure that she would come here."

"Well, she probably wanted to, but figured that you would know where to find her." Phoebe said.

"Maybe we should just stay at the house in case she comes back." Rachel suggested.

"I think that's a good idea Chandler." Phoebe said.

Chandler decided to go along with them. He felt that he didn't have much of a choice. He didn't want
to be all over when she decided to come back to talk things out with him. He couldn't believe that
Monica didn't trust him. She had never suspected him of having feelings for Cassandra before. He
wanted to find her so badly and explain why he was out so much, and why Cassandra needed to talk
with him urgently the day she left. Since he has been with Monica, he had never imagined himself with
another woman, but he could see why see was doubting him. He doubted her also. When he saw
Monica leaning on Scott's shoulder, his feelings were hurt.

Phoebe and Rachel sat there in the kitchen waiting for Cassandra to get off the phone. Right before
her father called her, they were about to tell her what was going on between Chandler and Monica,
and why she left without telling anybody where she was. When she got of the phone, she sat at the
table in front of them.

"Okay, what's going on?"

"Well, the thing is...Monica thinks that you and Chandler like each other." Phoebe said.

"You mean like, more than friends?"

"Yeah."

"Why now?"

"Mainly because of the things that's been going on, and you and Chandler hanging out without telling
her where you were until afterwards."

"We're sorry." Rachel said.

"Wow, I can't believe it."

"She's just a little confused right now." Rachel said.

"I know. I don't blame her. She wasn't like this until Tonya started causing trouble." Cassandra said
looking hurt.

"We went looking for her, but being that we don't know where she would go, we didn't have much
luck." Phoebe said.

"What about the hotel she stayed at last time she was here?"

"We already tried that." Rachel said.

"She didn't break up with him did she?"

"No."

"I don't like this. We have to do something." Cassandra said.

"I agree, but what?" Rachel said.

The next day, Monica picked up the phone to call Chandler, but changed her mind. It was killing her.
She wanted to know what was going on with Chandler and Cassandra. The strange part was that part
of her still trusted them. She got up off the bed and began to pace across the room. She wondered if
Scott had mentioned to them where she was. He was the only one who knew what hotel she was
staying at. She knew that if she mentioned to her friends where she was, they wouldn't stay away. She
also knew that she would eventually have to go back and face them all. She hated that she was
spending her vacation alone in her hotel room. It reminded her of the last time she was in Florida, two
years ago before she met Chandler. She remembered listening to the song, Somebody's Somebody, and
wishing that she was somebody's somebody. Now that she was, she didn't want to lose him. She
walked over to the bed and picked up the phone once again. She let the phone ring five times, but no
one answered. She hung up the phone wondering where they could be.

"Chandler, you okay?" Phoebe asked.

"Not really."

"Don't worry, everything's gonna turn out fine." Cassandra said.

"I sure hope so. I can't lose her over a misunderstanding."

"That's why we're gonna help you." Rachel said.

"I really appreciate it guys." He said.

"No problem." Phoebe said.

Later that night, while Monica was sitting on the bed watching TV, she heard a knock on the door. She
picked up the remote control and turned it off. She slowly got off the bed and walked to the door.
When she opened it, Cassandra was standing in front of her.

"Monica, can I come in?"

"How did you know where I was?"

"I asked Scott."

"Come on in."

Cassandra walked in and sat at the table next to the window. Monica closed the door and sat across
from her.

"Monica, I heard about your suspicions."

"Phoebe and Rachel told you right?"

"Yeah. Monica, Chandler and I have been friends since we were kids. We've never had a romantic
interest in each other. I know that you two haven't been having a lot of luck since you've been here,
but don't let Tonya ruin what you have with him."

"Actually I didn't get suspicious until a had a conversation with Scott."

"What?"

"Yeah. He was saying that he wanted to apologize to Chandler about the way Tonya's been acting.
Then asked me where he was and how long he's been gone. All of a sudden I thought about him
leaving with you that morning and staying all day, without a phone call or anything. He also said that
he had a suspicion about the two of you, but he didn't wanna say anything about it."

"Scott said this?"

"Yeah. I was so confused."

"Why?"

"Well, you guys were whispering and laughing a lot. I though you were probably flirting. Part of me
felt stupid for even thinking that, but....

"I know. I don't blame you."

"You're not mad, or hurt?" Monica asked.

"I was at hurt at first, but I understand."

"You do?"

"Of course I do."

"I'm sorry for doubting you guys."

"Don't worry about it. The one that you need to talk to is Chandler."

"I know. Every time I would pick up the phone to call him, I'd lose my nerve."

"He's been waiting by the phone."

"Is he mad me?"

"No. He's been looking for you."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah sure."

"I want you to be totally honest with me."

"Okay."

"Why have you and Chandler been going out a lot lately without telling me first, and why have you
been whispering?"

"Come with me." Cassandra said getting up.

"Answer my question first."

"I'm about to. Just trust me and come on." Cassandra said while standing at the door.

"Okay."

Monica and Cassandra got into the elevator. Cassandra pushed the button for them to go to the
penthouse and Monica frowned up her face.

"Why are we going up to the penthouse?"

"You'll see." Cassandra said smiling.
