Chapter One - Introduction

With the end of the hit series "Summer High" careers are looking bright for young actors Rachel Green and Joey Tribbiani after the long running success of their High school based show. Rumors say they are in the process of developing another series however producers are very closed mouthed about what or when it will be happening. They have however announced that they will be looking for fresh talent for this new show.

Rachel switched off the television and placed the remote on the coffee table. "Did you hear that Joe? Bright looking futures." She said playfully hitting Joey on the shoulder.

"Let's just hope this new idea is just as successful or our bright careers will be…not so bright" he said walking into the kitchen of his apartment. "Hey be careful with that, it's from my first commercial as a kid" Joey called to the movers.

"At least we will be home in New York this time with our family, somewhere we haven't been in years. Who would have thought you could get sick of California weather." Rachel said hoping to lighten Joey's mood. "And besides, there are other opportunities for your career to take off" she added, following Joey who was now frantically watching movers in his bedroom.

"No Rache you don't understand" Joey said coming to a sudden stop with Rachel nearly bumping into him. "This is what I have wanted to do for a long time now, and hopefully break into the movies at one stage. You are more interested in what clothes look like and…" he stopped emphasizing his clothing as if looking for the right word.

"Fashion" she said finally catching on.

"Yes" he nearly screamed as if coming to a revelation.

"Yes it is a perk, but this is my dream to" she added.

"I just want things to go well" he said finally relaxing enough to take a seat on his bed.

"Just relax Joe" Rachel said taking a seat beside him. "The press can smell stress a mile away and besides if the show tanks, ill be right beside you" she said wrapping her arm around him.

"Thanks for being such a great friend Rache" he said with a hint of sarcasm but relaxing finally until a second later when someone burst through the door.

"You guys won't believe this" said a familiar voice. "Where are you guys." She called again.

"Bedroom Phoebe" Rachel called, and rolling her eyes when she saw the smirk on Joeys face.

"Oh you guys won't believe this! The story leaked about your new show, everything the story line, characters. But that's not all." She blurted out.

"But that is impossible, we just saw on the news and it said nothing except suspicions" she said challenging the new information.

"No this if hot off the press hot. Too new hot for midday news hot" she mumbled holding up a newspaper.

"Great" Joey said cutting in and throwing his hands up in a huff. Rachel stopped him by grabbing his hand for support.

"You're not really making sense Phoebe. What does it say?" Rachel said rolling her eyes and Phoebe's grin just grew wider. "Wait why do I get the feeling you happy about this?" Rachel said to her blonde friend.

"That's the next part" she said with a smile. "They loved it, press said it's an instant hit and will send you guys right to the top.

"So you mean…" Rachel said trailing off.

"Hollywood Baby" Joey said nodding his head with his biggest smile of the day on his lips.

"But lets not get to ahead of ourselves what exactly did they say" Rachel said in a serious tone.

"You don't have to worry your pretty little head Rache" Phoebe said rubbing her head like she was a puppy. "That's why I'm the Agent and you are paid to look beautiful."

"Actor Phoebe, and your Joeys agent, not mine. Not that I'm complaining that you got me this new job, but have you heard from my parents lately? Do they even know that I am moving to New York?"

"Well no, they seem to be holidaying somewhere in Figi, but don't worry ill protect you from anything that comes your way" Phoebe said rubbing Rachel's head again.

"No mom I don't want to try out for some new television show, I want to get my PHD, you know become a doctor like all other parents want for their children" Ross said.

"Wrong kind of Doctor Ross" Monica scoffed.

"Shut up Monica." He screamed at his sister.

"Come on sweetie, they say this ones a big hit" His mother, Judy said in a convincing manner.

"Why can't you understand that this isn't what I want?" Ross said back at his mother. "It was fun when I was a kid but now….I just want to dig for fossils, discover new breeds of dinosaurs. Like Indianna Jones." He said in a dream like state. "What makes you so sure I will get this part anyway, Rachel Green is Monica's friend not mine."

"Yes, in Junior High before she quit school to become an Actor" Monica said once again interfering in the conversation.

"Monica is right. Rachel Green wouldn't even remember Monica let alone let her brother be in her next television show." Ross said trying to weasel out of what his mother had planned.

"Oh come on she always had a little crush on you, I could tell." She said grabbing his chin in a gentle manner to which he smiled however which Monica laughed loudly.

"Shut up Monica" Ross and Judy said at once.

"Come on darling, do this for mommy?" she said smiling at her son.

"Fine but only if Monica tries out too, probably better if we don't seem desperate." Ross said pulling Monica onto his pain train. "What is the show about anyway" Ross asked. His mother only answered by picking up a magazine and handing it to him.

The new show "Breakin' out" are the lives of four friends competing for the top of the class of the highest prestige performing arts school in America. Auditions are this Saturday and for those selected for callbacks, get to meet the stars of this show.

"That's all well and good, but did you guys ever think that I still want to learn to cook, be a chef? I have my dreams to" Monica said.

"Don't be so selfish Monica, you have nearly finished at culinary school just do this for Ross and I will help you plan your graduation party." Judy said.

"Fine, but make sure it's a good one" she said.
