So this is my second fanfiction. Hope you like the first one! This episode is a two-parts episode. The second part is coming soon. Email me your comments!

 

[Scene: Central Perk. The girls are there.]

 

Phoebe: Do you think, by the age of sixty, I'd still have a sexy voice?

 

Monica: Oh, yeah, sure, Pheebs. You know, just like lots of other singers. You would be so unique. Like everyone else!

 

[Joey enters.]

 

Joey: Hey, you guys, guess what?

 

Rachel: Joey, I don't think any of us would be interested.

 

Joey: Oh, okay, then I guess I won't pick you, Rach, to my Soapie Awards that I'm nominated to this Saturday evening!

 

(Everybody screams.)

 

Gunther: Uhm, excuse me? This coffeehouse is for a lot of people, you guys screaming is not acceptable. (Starts to walk away) Not you, Rachel.

 

Monica: Oh, my god, Joey, that's great!

 

Phoebe: Yeah, so who are you gonna pick?

 

(Long Pause. The girls try to look charming.)

 

Joey: (Groans) Ugh, jeez, I don't know. I mean, it's just so hard, you know?

 

Rachel: Of course it is, Joey, but look at me. (Smiles like she's on TV.)

 

Joey: I mean, it's really hard.

 

Monica: We know that, Joey.

 

Joey: I mean, Chandler and Ross are both my best friends!

 

Rachel: Get the hell outta here! (Pushes him.)

 

[Scene: Monica's and Chandler's. Chandler is there as Joey enters.]

 

Joey: Heyy, Chandler?

 

Chandler: No, Chandler's not here. (He is watching Baywatch.)

 

Joey: Man, can I talk to you for a second?

 

Chandler: Really? Now? 'Cause I'm kinda busy. A lot, actually.

 

Joey: No, man, it's serious.

 

Chandler: Oh, sure, Joe. (Gets up and heads to the kitchen where they sit by the kitchen table.) What's up?

 

Joey: Well, this Saturday night, I am invited to a Soap Emmy Awards.

 

Chandler: Oh, wow! Who invited you?

 

Joey: I'm nominated! What's the matter with you?! What, you think I'd never be nominated to those things again?

 

Chandler: After what you did a few years ago, yeah, that's what I thought.

 

Joey: Hey, the woman wasn't there! I accepted a be-half! (Pause) Anyway, the reason I'm here is because, well, I want you to go with me there. I'm only allowed one person, and I kinda picked you.

 

Chandler: Oh, my god, Joey, thanks, man! I will be honored! Come on, let's hug it out!

 

 

(They hug.)

 

Joey: I mean, I was really confused between you and Ross. But, then I thought Ross wouldn't be interested in going to those things and you're my best friend.

 

(Ross suddenly appears from the bathroom. Joey is shocked. Ross is not looking to the kitchen. Long Silence.)

 

Ross: (Out Loud) Mon, your toilet isn't working.

 

Monica: Oh, I know, Ross! I flushed a mouse in there earlier!

 

Ross: Okay, thanks, anyway! (He walks past the kitchen.)

 

Joey: Ross, wait!

 

(Ross rushes out)

 

Joey: What do I do?

 

Chandler: I don't know, man, I'm sorry. (Long Pause) Baywatch?

 

Joey: No, I don't feel like it. I have to fix things with Ross. See ya later.

 

Chandler: All right, bye.

 

(Joey looks at the TV before he is ready to leave)

 

Joey: Or, you know, just a small scene won't kill anybody!

 

Chandler: Yeah!

 

(They sit on the couch and start watching Baywatch)

 

Ross: (Returns) Joey, I think I was pretty tough on you earlier... (Spots Joey laughing, sitting on the couch, watching TV.)

 

Joey: (Looks back) Ohhh...oh, my god, look, Ross? Listen to me...

 

Ross: Have fun. (Slams the door shut behind him)

 

 

[Scene: Central Perk. Joey, Monica and Phoebe are there.]

 

Joey: God, you should've seen the look on his face. I mean, I feel like Ross hates me or something.

 

Monica: You think?

 

Joey: What are you saying?

 

Phoebe: Of course Ross has the right to hate you! He shouldn't even speak to you! Oh, if I were him --which I'm not-- I would cut you off my life forever!

 

Joey: Wow, I'm so glad I picked you girls to help me.

 

Phoebe: I know!

 

Monica: (to Phoebe) Hey! (Pause) Look, Joey, what we mean is that you should talk to Ross and tell him that you'd take him to your awards thing.

 

Phoebe: Psst, I wouldn't agree to go there anymore. (Pause) Oh --and neither would Ross, by the way.

 

Joey: Phoebe is right, Mon. I mean, even if I did tell him that, he won't go anymore. He knows I'm only doing that to make him happy.

 

Phoebe: No, I'm Ross!

 

Joey: And, not just that, but then Chandler would be upset with me. And, I mean, I don't want to lose Chandler's friendship just to...(Pauses)

 

Monica: See?! Ross has so right to be mad at you! You like Chandler more! (Rachel is entering) You like Chandler!!

 

Rachel: Wow, it must be the wrong time to say my news. (Pause) Hi. (Sits down)

 

(They mumble something, do a little sign with their hands and turn to Joey again)

 

Rachel: What's going on?

 

Phoebe: Oh, I'm mad at Joey.

 

Rachel: Oooh--another Phoebe-Joey fight?

 

Phoebe: Who's this hot Phoebe you keep talking about? I'm Ross!!

 

Rachel: (Steps back) Eeww.

 

Phoebe: (Smiles) Oh, thanks.

 

Monica: You know that soapie awards thing Joey is nominated for? He picked Chandler to go with him.

 

Rachel: Oh, that's the cause of the Phoebe-Joey fight!

 

Monica: No! They're not in a fight. Ross and Joey are, because Ross knew that Joey picked Chandler.

 

Rachel: Oh! Ross is jealous? (Laughs)

 

Phoebe: Am not!

 

Rachel: What?

 

Phoebe: What, you what! Shut up! (Turns around.)

 

Rachel: So, Joey, what are you gonna do?

 

Joey: I have no idea. And it gets worse. Apparently, Ross wanted to solve it with me, so when he returned to do that, he kinda caught me laughing and watching Baywatch.

 

Rachel: Ooh, so how do you think he feels now?

 

Phoebe: Hungry. (Gets up)

 

[Scene: Joey's and Rachel's apartment. Rachel is there as Joey enters.]

 

Rachel: Hey.

 

Joey: (Desperate) Heyy.

 

Rachel: Where were you? Did you fix things with Ross?

 

Joey: No. But I tried. It got worse.

 

Rachel: Why, what happened?

 

Joey: Well, apparently, I broke some dinosaur bone that was found from, like, sixteen million years ago, so...

 

Rachel: Ooh, no, that's so bad. For Ross. (Pause) Is he preparing the funeral now?

 

Joey: Yeah.

 

Rachel: Yeah!

 

(Joey sits down.)

 

Joey: Ugh, god, I really have to fix things with him. I mean, that guy's pretty upset about that.

 

Rachel: I bet he is. You know, when Ross and I were dating, he always this romantic funny guy who would bring me stuff to work everyday and when I come back, he would prepare me dinner with candlelight on the balcony and some cherries on the side with pretty-well designed flowers and blueberries that I would just love. We would have some pretty good time together. We once even slept on the balcony!

 

Joey: This balcony?

 

Rachel: No, don't worry, Monica's.

 

Joey: Oohh. (Pause) Why are you telling me this?

 

Rachel: I don't know, I mean...I just thought you would be interested.

 

Joey: Woman, you were wrong!

 

Rachel: Shut up! (Pause) Did I ever tell you you are handsome?

 

Joey: No, but I already know that.

 

(They laugh. Long Silence. They passionately have a small kiss. Then Joey stops it.)

 

Joey: What, what the hell was that?

 

Rachel: I don't know. I just thought that you would be interested in knowing how that might feel.

 

Joey: You were right.

 

(They kiss again, and Ross enters.)

 

(Awkward long silence occurs)
