The One At Hallow's Eve

by: Sqira


Hey guys, Happy Halloween! In conjunction with the occasion, I decided to tie in the episode with Halloween. No surprise there huh? :o) Anyway, as I was writing this, I kinda got carried away and thus this episode is longer than the ones before. I'm thinking of adding some more lines, but I decided against it as it might be too draggy then. As for all my fanfics, I'm doing this for fun so dun even bother putting all the copyright stuff on me :o)


(Monica's & Rachel's Apartment. Late Wednesday night. Everyone but Rachel is there. They are absorbed with the movie on television. Monica and Phoebe are sharing a pillow... well, clutching it rather. Ross is in the armchair, Chandler's at the end of the couch and Joey is on the floor, holding the remote. All eyes are on the tv.)

Rachel (comes in the apartment suddenly): Hey guys!

The rest of the gang (startled by Rachel's entry): Jeez, Rach! You scare the crap out of us!

Joey: Yeah, try knocking next time. Where's your manners? (Sees a scene from the movie and suddenly switches the video off by remote.)

Monica: Why did you do that for?! Switch it back!

Joey: Well... Leatherface is getting his chainsaw...

Rachel: Oh! 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'?! (Takes the remote from Joey and switches the video back on) I've seen this... and part 2... and 3... 'and' 4. (Watching the movie) ...and this is the part where she...

Phoebe (cut-offs Rachel): Hey! Spare us the details okay. The movie's not even done yet.

Rachel: Yeah, wait till you get to the screaming part.

Ross: What screaming part? (Hears the 'way-LONG' scream from the tv) oohhh... 'that' one.

(Opening Credits)

(Monica's & Rachel's Apartment. Everyone is spread in front of the TV. The movie has just ended, with the guys laughing away.)

Ross (switching off the TV with a remote): Man, I can believe she is screaming her head off all the way!

Phoebe (laughing): Yeah, this movie is not scary, it's so funny!

Chandler: Yeah, I wonder why is she screaming... in the middle of nowhere!!! Who does she think will be there? Captain America?!

Joey: Just imagine Superman's jealousy (seeing stares from the rest) ...okay, you and I know that Lois will be in trouble in one way or another, as always! THAT should keep Superman busy...

Rachel (whispers to Monica): And I assume nobody even dares to tell him the real deal?

Monica: The man still wears Superman briefs. You tell me.

Phoebe: Hey you guys! You know it's Halloween soon. Wanna have a party? (Groans from the rest)

Ross: Pheebs, we're not 10 anymore!

Chandler: Yeah, Pheebs... not another fabricated, capitalist-induced celebration that causes pain and suffering to all around the world!

Phoebe: Chandler, it's only Halloween!

Chandler: Same thing!

Monica: Pheebs, we're not kids anymore and we dun even do dress-up for goodness sake! And you wanna celebrate Halloween?!

Phoebe (hurt): Okay fine, party-poopers! I just asked! Doesn't mean that we have to dress up or anything! (Gets up to leave and starts collecting her stuff) We could have dinner or just hang out.

Joey: But we hang here anyway Pheebs, what's the difference?

Phoebe: I know, but a little orange here, a little black there, it may feel like Halloween. Yeah right! You guys are too grown up for that! (Leaving the apartment) Okay, I'm going, see you guys.

Rachel: Yeah, bye Pheebs (The rest of the guys turn to Chandler)

Chandler: What?! 'Now' you think I'm Manhunt material?

Ross: Put a sock in it! Look what you have done!

Rachel: Excuse you! Look what WE have done! I feel bad.

Joey: Something you ate?

Monica: Joey! You know what, let's have a party anyway. Let's dress-up (seeing the stares from others) okay, 'that' we take a vote! I'll do some goulish cooking, the guys get candies for the kids, Rachel get the drinks and Joey... uh, help everyone.

Ross: Whoah! When did I say that I agreed to this 'par-tey'?

Monica: Shut that big mouth of yours and just come! We all owe Phoebe something after our behaviour just now.

Rachel: Yeah, maybe she had this thing with Halloween and it would help if we spruce up the apartment a bit.

Chandler: He heh, there goes Monica's sanity.

(Commercial Break 1)

(Monica's & Rachel's apartment. Early Halloween night. The apartment is decorated with Jack-O-Lanterns, paper bats, candles and what not. The apartment looked much in its Halloween mood actually. Monica is in the kitchen, finishing up. Rachel and Ross are putting their finishing touches to the apartment.)

Rachel: Hey Mon! What d'ya think? (Doing a 'Vanna White' of the apartment)

Monica (Looking over the apartment): Did you break anything?

Ross: Nooo... (shows a broken doll's leg, sheepishly) You're not much of a porcelain person are you?

Monica: Ross! How could you! You... (cuts off by Chandler's and Joey's entrance)

Chandler: Hey people! Give me love!

Rachel: What's with you?

Chandler: Ooo... 'slow' room. Somebody died?  I'd called Phoebe. She'll be here any minute now.

Joey: Why aren't you guys in costume? I thought we all agreed to dress up.

Rachel: No, YOU agreed to dress up, we said 'maybe'. What are you dressing up as?

Joey: You talkin' to me?

Chandler (upon seeing seeing the questioning looks from others): De Niro.

Ross: Oh... work on it Joey. What are you dressing up as?

Chandler: Me? I dun celebrate Halloween.

Monica: I thought that was only Thanksgiving.

Chandler: No, there's a curse you see (seeing that they guys dun buy it) ...okay, okay, me, at 10, going as 'Casper', met kids with spray paint. What do you get?

Rachel (laughs): Chandler as a walking advertisement!

Chandler: No! A lifetime of complete disbelief towards Halloween!

Monica (stifling a laugh): C'mon, you were 10. It's just Halloween.

Chandler: Yeah, that's what they say about Michael Myers... he's baaacccckkkk! It's been 20 years and... he's not dead! What's his secret? Vampirism?

(Phoebe enters, unknowing about the Halloween get together)

Phoebe (shocked to see the apartment): Oh my gawd! You guys did this?! For me?!?!

Joey: Well, yeah... who do you think it's for? The Tooth Fairy? It's 'not' her holiday, you know.

Phoebe (happily): Thanks anyway, guys... hey, why are you guys not in costume?

Ross: Uh... the store doesn't carry our sizes? Yeah, yeah, that's it! No sizes beyond 14!

Phoebe: C'mon, where's the Halloween's spirit?

Chandler: Dead as a doorknob?

Phoebe: Do you guys know that I can sew too? (Seeing the guys surprised looks) Well, I COULD! Come, come, let me 'whip' up something real fast for you guys! (Moves into Monica's room)

Chandler: Why can't you just bring candy?!

(Commercial Break 2)

(Monica's & Rachel's Apartment. Later Halloween night. The apartment is empty... well, the living room that is. Joey enters in his 'De Niro' get-up, with mole and all.)

Joey: Okay, Pheebs, the fashion show can start now.

(Phoebe enters, dressed in a 'gypsy' outfit, with a pointed hat.)

Phoebe (smiling and showing off her outfit): So... do I look 'BE-witching' to you?

(Chandler enters, dressed as Ol' MacDonald *ee ah ee ah oh...*)

Chandler (looking at Phoebe): Let me guess. A 'very' unhappy cook?

Phoebe (laughing): No silly! I'm a good witch (turning herself around), can't you see? What about you Mr Clampett? Beverly Hills was too good for you?

Chandler: Ha ha... funny! (Looking at Phoebe) Uh, I think you're missing a crystal ball...

Phoebe: Not to worry... (takes out a 'ball' from behind the couch) ...this disco ball will do just fine dun you think?

(Ross enters, in a VERY '70s get-up - polyester galore! Ross is in a deep V-necked orange shirt with tight, light blue bell-bottoms, complete with 3-inch white platform boots... okay, I'm getting carried away here :o) You know the deal.)

Joey: Hey Ross! I dunno that you had such clothes! A little more green and you'll be Chandler's dad!

Chandler (glares at Joey and then whispers to Ross): You dun tell them where you got it from and I won't tell the rest that you ripped 3 bell-bottoms before this.

Ross (nodding in agreement): Ahh... Carol collects such stuff... Man, she had a closet full of them!

Joey: Where's Rachel and Monica?

Phoebe: Yeah, come out guys! Quit stalling!

(Rachel enters from her room, in a brown bodysuit, brown pleated mini skirt, with brown knee-length boots)

Chandler: Hhhmmm... first word; Cat... without whiskers. Second word; Woman.

Rachel: I'm not supposed to be Catwoman! I'm Xena! You know, Warrior Princess?!

Ross (laughing with the guys): You know, Xena is SO not you!

Rachel (infuriated and swing's out a feather duster): What about you?! Trying to boogie your night away or something?! I thought we left the 70s for a reason!

Chandler (stifling a laugh): Yeah, whatever floats your boat Rach (Rachel then swats Chandler with the feather duster)... okay, okay, forgive me, O Warrior Princess, I'm not worthy!

Rachel (after claming herself down): Mon, come out! Let's finish this!

Joey: And now, behind Door Number 2!

(Monica enters from her room, dressed as Jeannie [pink top and pants] in 'I Dream of Jeannie', but with shorter hair.)

Joey: Wow Mon! You look like that genie in 'I Dream of Jeannie'.

Monica: I AM that genie in 'I dream of Jeannie'. Who do you think I am?

Chandler: Belly dancer from Turkey?

Monica: Nice try, but I'm not gonna wiggle for you. By the way Mr MacDonald, where's your farm?

(Just then, the chick and the duck enter the apartment.)

Chandler: Right on cue!

(Closing Credits)

(Monica's & rachel's Apartment. It's very late into the night, actually early morning. Loud banging are heard from the door. Monica and Rachel sleepily emerged from their rooms.)

Rachel: Mon, you get the door.

Monica: Hey you're up too. YOU get the door!

Rachel (yawning): Okay, we both go get it.

(Monica opens the door with Rachel at her side. Both are VERY sleepy, eyes half-closed and all.)

Monica: It's 3 in the morning! What the hell are you thinking?!?!?!?

Mr Tregger: You kids make too much noise just earlier! I can hear you stomping on my roof! Were you trying to wake up the dead?!

Rachel: Couldn't you tell us this in the morning?! And besides, you dun have a roof - you live below us!!!

Mr Tregger: I COULD have a roof! You kids better watch out! (Walks off to the staircase)

Rachel (slams the door): Yeah, yeah (yawns).

(Just as the girls enter their rooms, they backtrack and look at each other. Their expressions turn from sleepy to extreme shock!)
