(A/N: Hi guys hope that you are excited to read this. Just to make sure that you know, this is a direct continuation of 'Sea Blue' by 4everMondler. Yes, you must read that one first. To put aside worries, I have talked to her and she gave full permission for me to continue this story. I do not own Friends. Enjoy!)
"Boy," began Chandler, as Ross and Mr. Geller started to pass out the food. "This blackout sure is lasting a long time. Normally they've got it repaired by now."
Monica nodded, a hand on her pregnant belly. "With a city as big as this there are a lot of people without power. Then again, with a city this big it must be hard to get it all back up and running."
"Twicky bidness," said baby Sophie, giggling.
Everyone aww'ed when she said that, and then they started to eat the yummy barbecue. When they were finished eating, Joey started to complain about being bored and Emily excitedly suggested playing board games.
"We have Scrabble," Chandler suggested. "If that works for you."
"I want to be on Sophie's team!" said Joey instantly.
Monica raised an eyebrow. That was news to her. "She can't even spell. She doesn't even know what a letter is, actually."
"I still want to be on her team."
"Suit yourself," said Monica. "But don't be sad when you lose."
Joey tilted his head, squinting his eyes at her. "That's not very nice to your daughter. Just a few minutes ago you were praising her on how smart she was."
"I was talking to her," she laughed. "Because everyone knows you're terrible at Scrabble."
"Hey!"
So they started playing Scrabble. When Joey decided that it was Sophie's turn to go, she put down six letters and spelled 'afreet'. "Point to team Monica," said Monica cheerfully.
"Wait!" Ross pulled out a dictionary. "Hold on… aha! I knew I had heard that word before. It's a 'powerful jinn or demon in Arabian and Muslim mythology'. Sophie spelled an actual word."
"Point to team Joey!" cheered Joey, then lifted Sophie's tiny hand and gave her a high five.
The rest of the game went on quite like this. Sophie kept spelling 'fake' words, and Joey took Ross' dictionary and proved that every single word she spelled was in fact real. Eventually, Team Sophie, as they were now calling it, won. (Just to clarify, Joey did not get one single word the entire game. He only one by Sophie's skills.)
"I knew it was a good idea to team with you, Sophie!" he kissed her tiny forehead, then sat her back down on his lap.
Monica rolled her eyes. "And I knew it was a bad idea to team up with Chandler. Ross, why did you have to pull out that dictionary?"
"I don't know," shrugged Ross. "Maybe you should've teamed up with Sophie after all."
"Our baby is so smart," said Chandler happily.
Monica smiled. "Oh, I know. My smart little Sophie."
They decided to play another round, but they didn't finish it. Everyone fell asleep before Sophie could win a second time.
To be continued! The next chapter will be longer. This was just a wrap-up for the blackout episode. :)
