A new Phoebe walked into Central Perk with a smile on her face. It was the same old Phoebe, the one before she ever met Mike. Phoebe looked around and saw thatMonica was the only person sitting on the old sofa, reading a magazine.

"Hey Monica!" Phoebe greeted her cheerfully.

"Wow Phoebe...you were gone all night. So.....does that mean that it went well with Mike?!" Monica hoped that was the reason, because Phoebe had been so depressed lately.

Phoebe was surprised that the mention of Mike's name didn't have a big effect on her. She did still have some kind of feeling left over for him, but she really didn't miss him. Phoebe smiled, happy for the first time in a while.

"Um, No actually."

"Ohh, I'm sorry Phoebe. I.." Monica didn't want Phoebe to get upset.

" No, No....It's Okay actually. I went to his party and he told me I had to move on and I was pretty upset. But I bumped into Joey, and we stayed up and talked the whole night." Phoebe covered up what really happened last night. It was just meaningless sex that would be forgotten.

"So are you sure you're all right?" Monica made sure Phoebe wasn't going to fall into a slump again.

"Oh yeah. I'm sure. Joey made me realize I do gotta start to move on again, and that me and Mike just weren't meant to be."

"Good. I was starting to miss the old you." Monica said, happy that Phoebe was finally going to move on.

"Yup." Phoebe paused. "Well, when does the big party start?"

Monica laughed. "Ummm....what party are you talking about Phoebe?"

"Monica...are you feeling all right?" Phoebe was shocked.

"Yeaa...Of course I am, but I'm not sure if you are." Monica laughed.

"Well, maybe Rachel was wrong, but she told me today was Chandler's birthday, and I remember a certain someone named Monica saying his party was going to be today." Phoebe was laughing at the fact that Monica could ever forget to plan her own husband's party.

Monica laughed. "Haha...Umm..I think I would know when my own husband's birthday is." She paused. "OH MY GOD. Phoebe!!!!" Monica's eyes went big, and she looked up at Phoebe. "You tell Joey to get the beer, you get the cake, and I'll take care of everything else." Monica ran out the doors of Central Perk and left Phoebe just standing by herself. As Phoebe watched Monica go into a frenzy, she felt glad to be so easily amused again.

"Heyy...Wuts going on Pheebs?" Joey's voice caused Phoebe to snap out of her daze.

"Ohh. Heyy." Phoebe reached her hand out. "Here's a 50. You get the beer." Phoebe looked at Joey and smiled because she knew that they were the same friends as they always were.

Joey nodded, and smiled back because he knew that he wanted to be more than just the same friends as they always were.

Phoebe was laughing hysterically as Joey handed her another beer. She was defiantly drunk. No one really seemed to care though, because they were all drunk themselves. Ross and Rachel were kissing passionatly in one corner. Chandler and Monica seemed to disappear somewhere, most likely their bedroom. And everyone else at the party was dancing or just chatting.

Phoebe got up to dance, but after a while her vision began to blur and when she walked she could feel herself losing balance. She knew she was wasted but she was having the most fun she'd had in a long time. The room began to spin around her, so she decided to sit down until she felt a little better.

Phoebe couldn't really see all the people there clearly and she definitely wasn't thinking right. But she noticed a dark haired man walking over to her, and thought that he was very good looking. The man came over to her and said something but Phoebe couldn't make out the words. The man reached over and placed a kiss on her cheek. Phoebe was surprised because she didn't even know who this was but she didn't seem to care. Instead she responded by looking back at him and letting out a little flirty giggle.

The man lowered his head over to Phoebe's and whispered in her ear, "C'mon, Let's get outta here."

Phoebe could hardly make out those words and wasn't sure if she should go with someone she didn't even know. But before she knew it he took her hand and was leading her through the crowd of people. Phoebe told herself that she shouldn't let this guy take her somewhere, but her body was not responding to what her mind told it. She was too drunk. Even so drunk that she didn't really care who this guy was.

Finally the man took her into a room. She didn't quite know where she was but it looked sort of familiar. The man started kissing phoebe passionately and his hands found their way to the ties on her dress.

Everything was happening so fast and Phoebe didn't no what to do or how to think straight. But she was sick of thinking. Phoebe wanted to let go of everything tonight. She was drunk, with someone kissing her, and decided she was just going to go with it.

Soon Phoebe realized the man had taken her into a bedroom and he was on top of her in the bed. But she didn't care. She just wanted to let go.

Let go.

Phoebe was laying in the bed, still wasted and especially tired. That was the roughest sex she had ever had. At times she felt like she was getting raped, not because she didn't want to but because he was so rough with her. It hurt too but she was too drunk to care.

As she lay in bed with her eyes closed, and this strange man's arm wrapped around her, she thought she could hear him mumbling something.

"You were great." She thought he was saying that. "Sometimes I love you so much."

Phoebe laughed. "What?" This guy was definitely drunk, Phoebe thought. "How could you love me?...I don't even know you."

The man lifted his head up and looked at Phoebe. "Yes, you do."

Phoebe squinted her eyes to see him, but her vision was still blurred from exhaustion, but mostly beer. "No, I don't."

"Yes you do, Pheebs..It's Joey."
