The One With Some Resolutions
"Darion!!!"
Albert, Darion's co-worker at the deli, calls after him from the freezer room. Darion runs to the voice to find Donatello, the owner of the deli, on the ground having a heart attack.
Darion whips his phone out and calls for an ambulance.
***
Two hours after being in the hospital, Darion heads to Erica's cramped apartment. Erica, now eight months pregnant, takes a moment to get to the door before giving Darion a glare.
"What do you want?" Erica huffs. Darion grins.
"My boss just died."
"And you're smiling why?" Erica says, resting her body against the doorframe.
"Well, Donatello had no family left, and everyone kind of hated him. He only got along with me once in a while, while we made sandwhiches together."
"Why do I care?" Erica continued the conversation emotionlessly.
"You should care because I just inherited 5 million dollars from his will and i'm about to propose," Darion says, getting on one knee. Erica cups a hand over her mouth, the other on her huge stomach. She nods and accepts the proposal.
"You in love with me now?" Darion asks, trying to hug his new fiancee.
"You idiot. I've always been in love with you."
***
After Darion helps Erica pack her things and move them to the new penthouse they bought, Jack and Ari are on good terms as well. Their relationship isn't "fake," anymore. After they spend a night together in Ari's room with a few drinks, they confess their love for each other. Jack soon gets a job as a professional medic in South Africa, and Ari moves with him to Cape town.
But Anthony's still here. The halls of the apartment building are eery and quiet; the only time it's not is when Darion, the now millionaire and his bursting pregnant fiancee come over for small talk, or when he does skype calls with Ari and Jack.
It's been three days since Anthony and Emma's las meeting. That evening, as he let his eyes wander aimlessly on the television screen, he decided to grab his keys and take a trip to the Hamptons.
***
"Where's Emma?" Anthony asks as he's let into the manor. Ross points upstairs. "She's about to leave for the airport, so you should catch her now."
"Airport? Why?!" He sputters another question, and Rachel comes out from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron.
"She's going to Paris. She wants to get away from it all," Rachel says, putting bunny ears around Emma's quote.
Anthony runs up the stairs to find Emma packing a suitcase, purse and duffel bag all laid out on the twin canopy bed.
"Emma!" Anthony once again exclaims.
Emma glances up, not as mad as last time. She doesn't frown, she just keeps her mouth slightly open.
"Leave me alone," She whispers. "I don't know you anymore. That life with you is gone now because you fucked up."
"Please, just let me try again."
"Try again?" Emma steps towards him, the purse falling to the floor. "How is that possible?"
Anthony sighs. "Hi, i'm Anthony Tribbiani. I've gone on many dates with you, but if I have to, I will go on as many first dates to be your boyfriend again."
***
Emma decides to spend her last two hours in New York City with Anthony. Rachel makes a portion of her autumn salad and tiramisu for the impromptu picnic that Anthony prepared on the shore.
Emma laughs while trying to sip her champagne, which wasn't the best idea. Anthony smiles at the sight of Emma being happy for once in a lifetime. She wipes her upper lip and digs her bare toes into the damp sand.
As another ten minutes of small talk and flirting goes by, the sun starts to set and leave a starch of tangerine and crimson pigments across the sky. Emma shivers, only being in a tank top and shorts. Anthony awkwardly shrugs his sweatshirt off and places it around Emma's shoulders.
She gazes at him in a way of thanks, and their eyes lock. Anthony inches his hand towards hers, but the moment is soon ruined by the timer ringing on Emma's phone.
"The plane leaves soon, apparently," Anthony says, noticing the title of the alarm.
Emma turns towards him and brings her lips to his ear. "Why don't we continue this first date in Paris?"
