2 weeks before the Friends Reunion :

Jen : I'm taking two tests then?

Aleen : Yeah... and it's very important that you avoid any unnecessary contact with the outside world in the meantime.

Jen : Right, and we've already arranged that with Apple right?

Aleen : Yeah, they know you'll take some time off of filming for a couple of weeks.

Jen : Good.

Brad : Who are you talking to?

Brad peeks his head through the office door, holding a sandwich in his hand.

Jen : Hi honey.

He walks over to her, leaning against the desk.

Jen : It's Aleen.

Aleen : You said Brad was going to Belgium this weekend?

Brad : Yeah, I am.

Aleen : You have to remember that when he comes back, he'll have to stay somewhere else.

Jen : What?

Aleen : He'll have to quarantine for a week and if he'd stay in the same household as you, you would too.

10 minutes later :

Jen : It's the Friends reunion.

Brad : Oh, that's happening next week?

Jen : Yeah.

Brad : You know what?

He smirks, walking over to her office chair.

Brad : I think I should've played a part in that.

Jen : What?

Brad : Yeah, I mean after all I was on the show.

Jen : For one episode...

Brad : It was an important episode!

Jen : Not really honey.

Jen laughs, rolling her eyes.

Brad : I bet the fans would love to see, uhm...

Jen : Will...

Brad : Right, Will... back.

Jen : I bet they would.

Jen sighs, looking down on her feet.

Jen : But I mean even if we wanted to have you there, you wouldn't be able to.

Brad : Right.

Jen : Ah, do you remember how much fun we had the days you were on though?

Brad : I do, yeah.

Jen : And the audience, god they loved you.

Brad : Nah, they loved seeing us together.

Jen smiles as he mentions it.

Brad : Remember when I filled your dressing room with roses?

Jen : Yeah... I do. You were so romantic back then, what happened to you?

Brad : Hey, I'm still romantic.

Jen : Yeah, right.

20 years ago, on the set of Friends :

Lisa : Jen, can you zip me up?

Lisa rushes towards Jen, holding her skirt up.

Jen : Sure, honey.
