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.

Ross’ Birthday

The other five friends were discussing /talking about/planning how to celebrate Ross’ birthday. They borrowed money from Chandler to buy birthday gifts, a cake and concert tickets.

Monica was very thrilled that day because she got promoted, so she wanted to go to some place 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. Rachel worked as a waitress/server, Phoebe was a massage therapist, and Joey was a struggling actor. The three of them did not have a steady income.  When Ross asked everybody to go Dutch, 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 without the others/together and later attended an afterparty hosted by the band. 

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 canned. Everyone consoled Monica and just forgot about what happened on Ross’ birthday.
