"My god. That's expensive ". Said Joey. He looked at the receipt. "Gunther?".

"Yes Joey?" Said Gunther.

"I, uh, I cant afford to pay this. I've had to cut back on some luxuries like uh...paying for stuff. It kinda happened after I lost my job on days of our lives". Said Joey.

"I'm sorry Joey. Hey, why dont you work here? The money is good". Said Gunther.

"Really?" Joey asked.

"Yeah", said Gunther. "Plus you get to stare at Rachel as much as you want".

"What?" Said Joey.

"Flexiable hours". Said Gunther.

"Hmm. I think I can be a waiter. Can I use the phone?". Joey asked.

Gunther nodded.

Monica, Rachel, Chandler, and Ross were sitting at Central Perk.

"Where's Alexis?" Rachel asked.

"He's on his way here. I haven't seen him in a while". Said Monica.

"Well, he is a baseball player. Hes been on the road for a while". Said Chandler.

"Oh. That makes sense". Said Monica.

"I miss hanging on with him". Said Rachel.

"Yeah, me too". Said Ross.

Alexis opened the door and saw his friends. "Hey guys!".

"Heeeey!" Said Ross.

"Alexis! You're back!" Said Rachel.

"What's going on everyone?". Alexis asked.

"We've missed you.". Said Chandler. "How were the games on the road?".

"We played 5 road games. 3 games in Chicago against the Cubs and 3 games in Baltimore against the Orioles ". Said Alexis. "I'm sorry I haven't responded back much to you guys' text messages. I've been on the road and busy with therapy too".

"Its okay". Said Monica. "How long are you in Newyork?".

"6 days. Then I'm back on the road with the Yankees. Basically 6 home games". Said Alexis.

"That sounds great!", said Chandler.

"Do you guys want anything? I'm headed up there". Said Joey.

"No". Said Rachel.

"No thanks Joey". Said Monica.

"I'll take a caramel iced coffee with extra ice". Said Alexis.

"You got it man. Hey, it's good to see you ". Joey said to Alexis.

Alexis smiled. "Its good to see you too my dude". He said to Joey.

"Hey Ross, do you want anything?". Joey asked Ross.

"Yeah. I'll uh, I'll take a coffee. Thanks man". Said Ross.

"Sure thing". Said Joey.

Joey walks to this man and woman sitting on a table. He asks "Do you guys want anything? Because im headed up there".

"An ice water". Said the woman.

"Okay". Said Joey.

"Joey, what are you doing?". Monica asked.

"Just being friendly. What, a guy cant be friendly? Haha". Said Joey. "Its okay if I go back here, right Gunther?". Joey asked. He wined at Gunther.

"Dont wink at me". Said Gunther. "And put on your apron". He gave Joey his apron.

"Joey, do you work here?". Said Monica.

"Waiter". Said the guy.

"Yeah!" Said Joey.

Joey walks over to his friends. "No. Yeah I work here".

"Aww Joey. Theirs nothing wrong with that". Said Rachel.

"I know. But I'm an actor. Its supposed to go in the other direction. It feels weird working here, you know?". Said Joey.

"I used to work here and I loved it". Said Rachel. "Plus you're going to make a lot of money".

"I will?". Said Joey.

"Yeah!", said Rachel. "Here are some tips that will help you ". She said. "If someone is rude to you...sneeze muffin".

"Hey, I have a tip for you. Dont eat yellow snow ha ha ha". Said Chandler. He took a pen and wrote in a notepad. "2:15. Coffee house".

"You know what? This might not be so bad". Said Joey. "And I get to see you guys".

"Yeah". Said Monica as she smiled.

"Joey seriously? Can I get my coffee?!". Said Ross.

"Sure thing". Said Joey. "I'll even throw in a free muffin for you". He said. Joey patted Ross' shoulder twice.

Rachel laughed and Ross glared at Rachel.
