Ross’s Birthday

The other five persons were discussing how to celebrate for Ross’s birthday hoopla. Everybody owed money to Chandler to prepare birthday’s gifts, cake and concert.

Monica was very happy on that day because she got promoted. She wanted to go to someplace nice to celebrate her promotion. That night, they went out to have dinner together. Rachel, Phoebe and Joey ordered cheapest food because those were too expensive for them. They said their feeling that they didn’t have as much money as them when Ross asked everybody to owe dinner charge. Everyone felt not good and was a bit embarrassed.

The other day of Ross’s birthday, Ross, Chandler and Monica bought six concert tickets and told Joey, Rachel and Phoebe it’s their treat. But Joey thought it just felt like charity. They even had an argument for it. Finally, Joey, Rachel and Phoebe stayed at home and played guessing fingers game instead of going to the concert. They felt pretty much sucked. Ross, Chandler and Monica went to the concert themselves and attended a party after the concert.

The next day Monica got a call and was told she broke the corporate policy and got fired as she took the meat back, which was given by a new supplier. Everyone consoled Monica and just passed Ross’s birthday.

Ross’ Birthday

The other five people were discussing how to celebrate Ross’ birthday. Everybody borrowed money from Chandler to buy birthday gifts, a cake and concert tickets.

Monica was very happy that day because she got promoted, so she wanted to go to someplace nice to celebrate it. That night, they went out to have dinner together. Rachel, Phoebe and Joey ordered the cheapest food on the menu, because the restaurant was too expensive for them. When Ross asked everybody to split the bill, they felt that they didn’t have as much money as the others . Everyone felt bad and a bit embarrassed.

The next day was Ross’ birthday. Ross, Chandler and Monica bought six concert tickets and told Joey, Rachel and Phoebe it was their treat, but Joey thought it just felt like charity. They even had an argument about it. Finally, Joey, Rachel and Phoebe stayed home and played a guessing fingers game, instead of going to the concert. They felt that the night sucked. Ross, Chandler and Monica went to the concert by themselves and attended a party afterwards.

The next day Monica got a call and was told that, by taking some meat given by the new supplier home, she had broken the company’s policy and, therefore, was fired . Everyone consoled Monica and just forgot about what happened on Ross’ birthday.
