This, this is the New York that Friends should've been.

The details were my favorite part. The little things really sold me on these people and their friendship faster than the actual show did.

I am SO pleased that you liked these details! I had the episode playing the entire time I wrote and *most* of the lines are verbatim from the series. But I realized how... harsh and hard the characters are in the pilot? Especially Chandler. I felt as though they needed the most inner dialogue. AND PHEOBE! It will always, always break my heart how shitty the writing always is towards her. No one cares about her at alllll! #cryingforever

For starters, Susan would not put up with Rose and Rachel's drama.oh, lol. if I continue this, Rachel/Rose won't even be on the horizon ever. Rose will take a completely different route and Rachel/Rose will be all about platonic love. Maybe negotiating through that differently - maybe sleeping together a few times before they figure it out - but in the end being important to
