Anyway! Please reviews and let me know what you think!!
Enjoy!
Without Him- Phoebe Buffay
"Okay…right now, we watch Phoebe! Yay! I love this girl!!"
"You're only saying that because she's into this spiritual crap…"
"At least she's a believer!" Tony glared at him, causing him to roll his eyes.
"Alright, let's get this over with…" Chandler sighed. "But I don't see way that I've made an effect on Phoebe's life."
"You really are insecure, aren't you?" Tony stated.
"Haven't we been over that, already?!"
"No, we've been over you being in denial about being in love with Monica…and your lack of faith…" Tony listed.
"Alright, I get the point…." Chandler cut him off.
"So, you believe now?""I never said that…""Can't you just try and believe…I mean, what you got to lose?"
"My sanity?" Chandler quipped.
"Dude, you're dead…get over it." Tony clapped him on the back.
"Gee, thanks…I feel the whole lot better now." Chandler replied sarcastically.
"Oh good!" Tony grinned and pointed the remote to the TV again.
I'm homeless…
I'm jobless…
But it doesn't matter…
Because I'll happier…
One day…some day…
Phoebe stopped singing when she saw someone drop something into her case.
"One dollar?! That's all you're giving me? One dollar!?"
"That's all I got…" The man stuttered, nervously backing away from her.
"Oh poor you!" She said sarcastically. She shook her head as he ran off down the road. "Men!"
She bent down and picked up the bill and stuffed it in her pocket before placing her gaiter in the case.
She walked down the road into a small coffee shop, she glanced around and sighed when she saw no one she knew. Well, why should she…she didn't have any friends.
"Hey Gunther! I'll have a cup of coffee!" She said cheerfully, to the man who was always working behind the counter.
"Oh, sure Pheebs…" Gunther said, looking nervous as a bunch of customer got up and left when she came over."I didn't know you could sing in here!" Phoebe exclaimed when she saw a girl finishing up on the stage. "You gotta let me have a go!!"
"Oh…um…"
"I got the perfect song!" She told him, clearing her throat. "Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat, what are they feeding you? Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat it's not your fault…"
"Yeah, well you smell like the smelly cat…" Another customer said before walking away.
"OH!" Phoebe gasped and waved her arms after him. "HA I put a curse on you!"With that she picked up her coffee and walked out, everyone watching her.
"Aw poor Pheebs!" Chandler muttered. "But how…"
"Don't you dare ask me how you effected her life!!" Tony interrupted him.
"Fine! Don't tell me! I don't care…" Chandler leant back in his chair.
"Weren't you paying attention to the others!?"
"Eh… I have a short attention span…"
"Yeah I noticed!" Tony sighed. "Alright, Monica moved into her apartment and decided against getting a roommate because she was insecure…"
"So? I'm insecure!"
"I know!" Tony said through the grit of his teeth. "Monica, didn't want to live anyone she didn't know…because of you and Ross, she was use to hanging out with people, the only person she was friends with was Rachel… and you've already seen her clip…"
"Yeah, okay… I guess I can sorta understand why Phoebe wouldn't be living with Mon…" Chandler started. "But why would that make her homeless and jobless?"
"She lived with her Grandmother for a while and she was able to get a part time job at the massage place but when her grandmother died she couldn't afford to stay there and ended up homeless, when her boss found out they fired her…"
"That's not very nice!" Chandler stated.
"Eh, but what can ya do?" Tony shrugged just as the clipped started back up.
"Miss Buffay?" The doctor called out as he walked into the wait area.
"Yeah, that's me!" Phoebe jumped out and rushed towards him.
"I'm sorry but there was nothing we could do… your Grandmother died, 10 minutes ago."
"What?!"
"I'm very sorry…" The doctor said sympathetically. "Is there anyone we can call for you?"Phoebe looked at him for a moment, her mind racing. "No…no one…I have no one…"
He shot one last sorry look before moving onto the next patient.
"She had no one?" Chandler repeated.
"Well, she did…I mean that never happened, did it?" Tony reminded him when he noticed the guilty look on his face. "Remember, this what could have happened if you wasn't there…"
"Oh yeah, right…" Chandler nodded. "Okay, then but why are you showing me all this?"
"Just when I thought we were getting somewhere…" Tony sighed.
"No, seriously…never mind whether I believe in it or not…what's the point behind this?"
"Well, like I said, you're very insecure…I know there's been times when you've doubted your place within the group…" Tony told him. "I guess, this is a just one way to show you that you were important to people, even if they didn't say it to often and to show that there was more to you then a job that's no one knows…"
"Huh.." Was all Chandler could manage to say.
"Well, that was the reason at first! I know I just want to prove to you that you was in love with Monica!"
"I was not!!"Tony rolled his eyes and turned back to the TV.
"Wow! I can't believe I live in such a great apartment!" Phoebe said as she walked around.
"Well, I'm glad you like it." Monica smiled at her.
"Oh yeah I do!" She grinned back at her. "Thanks for choosing me!""No problem…" Monica nodded. "Listen, I'm meeting some friends later…you're welcome to joins us."
"Um, yeah okay! Great!"
"Okay… well, I don't know who well turn up…Kip and Chandler of course…"
"Aw! Are they cute?!" Phoebe asked eagerly.
"Well, I think Kip is but I'm dating him so I might be biased…" Monica laughed slightly.
"Ah okay…what about Chandler?""Oh yeah, he's very cute…" Monica told her. "He's got these beautiful eyes and this great smile.."Phoebe nodded along then looked back at her. "He's not gay is he?"
"What?! No! Why'd you say that?"
Phoebe shrugged. "I dunno, just the way you talk about him…seems like you have a crush on him… makes you wonder why you're with this other guy…"
"And your conclusion was that he was gay?" Monica looked slightly amused at her.
Phoebe shrugged again before moving on. "So, do you have a thing for him?"
"Who? Chandler? Yeah right!" Monica laughed loudly; she stopped and sighed when she saw Phoebe's face. "Okay, I use to when I still in High school and all but now we're just friends…best friends…"
"Oh right, well that's cool I guess…" Phoebe said, standing up. "I'm going to go and get some coffee…you want any?"
"Nah, I'm fine…" Monica shook her head as Phoebe walked out. One she was left alone in the apartment, she whispered quietly to herself. "Just best friends…"
Phoebe decided to go for a walk after she got her coffee and when she returned an hour and half later, she saw Monica and Kip, curled up on the couch watching a movie.
"Oh hey, Pheebs…" Monica turned and smiled at her, just the movie was ending before looking back at Kip. "See, that wasn't to bad was it?"
"It was a chick flick!" He moaned.
"So why were you nearly crying at the end?"
"I don't cry!" He insisted.
Monica looked at him for a minute before frowning slightly. "Huh, actually I agree with you on that one."
"Next time we're watching Die Hard…"
"If ya say so…" She smiled patronizingly at him before kissing his cheek and standing up. "I'm going to start dinner."
"Okay…" He nodded, standing up and flashed a smile at Phoebe. "You must be Phoebe.."
'Wow! Monica's not biased at all…he is cute! God that smile!'
"Yeah, hey!" She grinned at him. "Nice you meet you, Monica's told me all about you!"
"Oh she has?" He frowned slightly, before shrugging. "All good things I hope."
"Oh yeah!" She laughed slightly. "So, how long have you guys been together?"
"Together? What?" He asked. "Oh no, I'm not Kip…I'm Chandler…"
"Oh my god…I'm so sorry…" Phoebe stuttered, turning red.
"Hey, problem.." Chandler laughed. "Listen, I've gotta go…I'll see you later."
"Umm, yeah okay…bye.."
"Mon, I've got some stuff to do.." Chandler told, hugging her as he passed her and dropping a small kiss on her cheek. "I'll be back before dinner.""Okay then…I'll see you later…"Phoebe looked at them confused…she watched the way they acted around each other. You don't act like that when you were just friends…did you?
"Oh that proves nothing!" Chandler said once the scene had ended. "It just shows that Phoebe couldn't tell between me and Kip."
"Yeah, because you were acting like Monica's boyfriend!!"
"I was not!"
"Was to!"
"Was not!"
"Was to!"
"What are we…5?!"
"Are not!"
"Oh god!" Chandler moaned.
"Look, I'll just show you Monica's…this will prove everything…"
"Okay, if this will prove everything…why didn't you show it me first and all this could be over with?"
Tony stared at him at him for a moment. "Oh shut up!"
