"Oh my god." Phoebe said. "Hey Pheebs! Look! It's Kathy!" Joey said hopefully, pointing at her. "I can see that. Oh my god. Um, Joey, can I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure Pheebs." He got up and they walked out in the hall. "Joey, how did this happen?" "Well, I was at the coffee house, right? And then Kathy walks in!" Phoebe tried to look interested. "So then what happened?" "Well, I was talking to Rachel when they came in, and Rachel said 'Hey it's that girl you and Chandler used to go out with!'" "Wow." "Yeah, and so I went over to her and I said, 'How you doin?' and she was like, 'Joey?'" "Uh-huh, keep going." "And we go up to my place and-" "I think I can guess the rest," Phoebe muttered. "Everything ok Pheebs?" Joey looked at her with those big brown puppy-dog eyes. "Well, um." Kathy walked over to them. "I gotta get going now. I'll see ya around, 'k?" Joey pulled her close and kissed her. Phoebe looked away. "Ok. I'll be seein you." Joey said. Phoebe turned around and went into their apartment, leaving them alone. She couldn't watch any more. Joey came back in. "So, are you guys.you know.back together?" "I guess." "Even after what happened With Chandler?" "Oh crap. I forgot about that." Phoebe sighed. "Joey! You remember what she did to you? You remember how you had Chandler living in a freakin' box! You can't do this to him, it's not.right." Joey looked at Phoebe with a look of sudden realization on his face. "You're right Pheebs. I gotta go talk to Chandler." He rushed down the stairs.
***At Chandler's Work Later that Day*** Joey ran into Chandler's office. "No! I care about the WEENUS, so you care about the WEENUS." "Hey, man." Joey said to Chandler. "Hey, Joe. What's up? Why are you here? What's going on?" "Well. Uh.you remember people very well?" "What kind of people?" "Uh.do you remember people and thing and other things?" "Like what, Joe?" "Uh.do you remember things and people that you sleep with?" "Things?" "Aw, come on man, you know what I mean. Ok.um, I kinda ran into Kathy yesterday." "KATHY?!!?" "Yeah.you remember her?" "Yeah. Oh god, I remember Kathy. The only bad thing about her was that I stole her from you! She was like.like.a chocolate bar with almonds. You got chocolate, you got nuts and it gives you a really cool high!" "Oh god.um, but you're with Monica now.would you go back?" "Ok, uh, don't say anything to Monica, but it would be a hard decision if I had to make one." "Oh.ok." Joey's voice faltered. "Well, did she remember me?" "Um.you're name didn't really cross our minds." "Oh my god. Joey. You didn't.do anything with her, did you?" "Well, uh, we kissed." "OH my god! Oh my god! You.after she.and after we.well, at least you didn't sleep with her." "Uh." "You SLEPT with her?!!? After what she did to you? After all of the pain that she caused us? I had to be in a box, with ONE air hole for two freakin hours!" "I'm sorry, man, ok? Can we call it even now?" "Yeah, ok."
***Back at Phoebe's apartment***
Phoebe sits on her couch, staring into space when Rachel walks in
"Hey, Pheebs! What's up?" "Kathy." "Kathy?" "Kathy." "What about Kathy." "Well, you know what I told you about the uh, little crush I have on Joey?" "Yeah." "And you know who Kathy is, and how he was her boyfriend?" "Yeah." "Do you really not know where I'm going with this?" "Oh, honey." "And the worst thing is, I think I'm falling in love with him." "Oh, honey." "Can't you say anything else?" "You really need to talk to him." "Ooh! Or you could!" "Pheebs, you know it's not my job." "But Rachel! I don't know what to do.maybe I can just.not tell him!" "Do you really want to have to live with that on your mind?" "No, but-" "Then talk to him. I think he'll be happy." "You think?!" "Just go! Do it!" Rachel hung up and smiled. Phoebe would do the right thing. She was confident about it.
"Oh my god." Phoebe said. "Hey Pheebs! Look! It's Kathy!" Joey said hopefully, pointing at her. "I can see that. Oh my god. Um, Joey, can I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure Pheebs."
