Life Through the Years - part 8

It’s now 2042 and the day after Deidra’s graduation from HS. Everyone(the gang and extended families in the NY area) and Deidra’s friends, neighbors etc.. are at G Chandler’s house for an Open House Party/Celebration

PHOEBE: Dee, where’s your sister at?

DEIDRA: upstairs I think

PHOEBE: well tell her to get down here, it’s a little rude not to say hello to the guests

DEIDRA: alright, I’ll be right back(runs upstairs and see’s Amber in her room laying on her bed staring at the ceiling)

DEIDRA: Ambs?? Are you ok?

AMBER: what, huh? Um yeah..well no, not really

DEIDRA: what’s wrong?

AMBER: oh it’s nothing, it’s dumb really

DEIDRA:listen this is my special day, so you are either going to tell me what is wrong so we can solve the problem, or you are going to have to pretend to be happy, and by the look on your face I don’t see that happening so..

AMBER: fine it’s, well I’m late

DEIDRA: huh?

AMBER: you know, late—the monthly visitor hasn’t arrived yet

DEIDRA: ohhhh, you mean

AMBER: yeah

DEIDRA: have you taken a test

AMBER: no, not yet, I tried to leave to go get one and mom had a fit, saying I had to be here to mingle with the guests

DEIDRA: ok here’s what we’re gonna do, we’ll tell mom that we need to run and buy some more Cookies or something, we grab a couple packs of cookies and while we’re at it also a test

AMBER: ok

DEIDRA: Ambs—it’s going to be ok, don’t panic until we know for sure

AMBER: I know. But a baby, a baby I’m 15 years old what will I do with a baby.

DEIDRA: lets not worry about it until we know for sure

(they go to the store and get the test)

it’s now about a half hour later and they are both wating for the results.

AMBER: I swear I am nevr having sex again

DEIDRA: Never??

AMBER: ok, nevr without a condom

DEIDRA: you guys didn’t use a condom, how dumb are you

AMBER: I know, I know, spare the lectures ok

DEIDRA: so who was it

AMBER: Matt

DEIDRA: what the?? I thought you two broke up?

AMBER: we did but….

DEIDRA: I see(looks at her watch) it’s time

AMBER: I cant look, you look ok

DEIDRA: (picks up the test) it’s…. negative

AMBER: Oh thank god, omg thank you, thank you, thank you

DEIDRA: seriously Amber, use a condom next time

AMBER: I will, oh you can be damn well sure I will

DEIDRA: good, now lets get down to the party before mom has a conniption

(they go downstairs)

MONICA: so Dee, what are you going to study at school?

DEIDRA: I’m thinking of either pre Med or Nursing

ROSS: oh go Pre Med, you’re smart enough and there are not enough good Doctors around

RACHEL: yea but sweeties Med school is long and tough maybe she doenst want to go to school that long

ROSS: yeah but..(they argue back and forth)

DEIDRA: guys it’s not a big deal, I don’t need to officially declare a major until Sophomore year so I’ll just dabble in both and see which one I enjoy more.

LUCUS: oooh look over there, Molly brought her new man

CHANDLER: so that’s the famous Kyle, we’ve heard so much about

RACHEL: yep, that’s Kyle. You guys know the last guy she dated

PHOEBE: El Jerko?

RACHEL: yes, Kyle is a million times better.. I could go for a mile of Kyle.

MALLORY: (walking over and joining the group) aww is that not cute (they all watch as Molly and Kyle kiss—not a pda gross kiss, but a sweet one)

ANNIE: I’m sorry Ev(they hug)

AN: ok I know this was a really short chapter but the next one will be longer. I also need to say that not much is going ot happen over the next couple years so I’m skipping ahead in the next chapter to 2045) There is stuff that happens from 2043-45 but it’s a lot of birthdaysa nd anniversaries and a couple I’ll tell about, but not all as that would get really boring J

Ch 9 coming very very very soon J
