A/N: Sorry for my lack of updating this and all my other stories, I blame school. It wastes half my day and I've got midterms next week, which I'm going flunk, every last one of them. So, here's my latest chapter to this story. Also, just so you know, Mary told Roxanne what was going on with her, Wilson, and Emily.

Summary: Mary has another not-so-pleasant encounter with Emily. Wilson changes his mind about Emily.

Chapter 8: She's A Thief Of Hearts

The day after helping out Roxanne and Chandler, Mary entered Pete's Pizza with Roxanne. The two had become inseparable since the day before. Roxanne had spent the night in spare bed in the attic bedroom with Mary the night before. Ruthie had escaped the house and had been staying with her friend Jill for the past few nights in order to avoid a very bitchy Annie, who was still angry with Mary for divorcing Carlos.

Roxanne was staying with Mary because Mary had offered it. Roxanne's dad, Terry, had thrown her out of the house after she told him that she was pregnant.

Mary had tried calling Wilson the night before. But, of course, he was with her. Emily. The bitch. The guy snatcher. The she-devil. The sea witch. She's even as ugly as that one from the little mermaid, Mary thought, snickering. Emily McKay, she's a thief of hearts.

Mary and Roxanne ordered their pizza. Mary ordered a slice of sausage, whilst Roxanne ordered herself a slice of pepperoni. Causal conversation took place during the eating of said pizza.

"So, Chandler and I were thinking that you'd wanna be one of the bridesmaids at our wedding," Roxanne said.

"Sure, I'd love to. You know, Roxanne, you and Chandler are the only people in Glen Oak, besides Ruthie, to really make me feel welcomed back. I'm thankful for friends like you," Mary replied.

Roxanne smiled warmly, "It's no problem, Mary, I'm glad we're friends. I mean, you got me and Chandler back together. I'm really thankful for you and what you did to help me. Heck, if it weren't for you, Chandler and I still wouldn't be talking."

Mary laughed, "You are too cool to be friends with Lucy."

Just then, Mary's eye caught someone entering the pizza place. It, of all the people in the world, was Emily. Emily saw Mary sitting with Roxanne. Bingo…target time. Emily headed over towards the table, a big fake smile on her face and the sound of her clicking her high-healed shoes loudly against the ground present.

"Oh, Mary!!! Hey!!!" Emily said, pulling up a chair and sitting at the table. The minute she did, Emily's mood immediately changed, "What are you doin' here, bitch?"

"Um…eating, maybe," Mary said, as if to say 'duh, bitch' to Emily.

"Drop the attitude and get your ass outta here. Wilson and I have a lunch date were, and I don't need ya hangin' 'round here tryin' to steal my man," Emily threatened.

Mary gave Emily a dirty look, "No way, bitch."

Emily smiled in triumph, until she realized what Mary had just told her, "Excuse me?!"

"I said no," Mary said. "You don't own me, or Wilson, for that matter. You can't decide who Wilson or I associate with. So, if we wanna talk, then there's no damn way that you're gonna stop us!"

Emily scowled, "Oh no! You DID NOT just say that to me!"

"Uh, yes I did. Sweetie, you need to get over yourself. Now, Roxanne, let's get out of here," Mary and Roxanne started heading towards the exit, but Emily charged angrily towards Mary. Thinking quickly, Mary turned around and flung her fist forward, socking Emily in the eye and sending her tumbling to the floor.

Emily screamed in pain. She placed a hand over her eye and got off the ground. She glared at Mary.

"You bit--" Emily started.

But Mary cut in, "Like I said Emily, get over yourself!"

Roxanne nodded in agreement, "Really! I've seen shallow people before, but you're just ridiculous! Now, let's get out of here Mary, we told Chandler we'd be at his house for dinner tonight."

"Gladly Roxanne," Mary said, and her and Roxanne paid their bill and left Pete's Pizza.

Emily just got walked back over to the table Mary and Roxanne were once sitting at, scowling in defeat.

Wilson saw the whole thing. He had entered Pete's Pizza without Mary, Roxanne, or Emily noticing him. He saw Emily threatening Mary and ducked into the background. It was then Wilson realized: Emily had just been there to fill the void left by Mary. He didn't love Emily. He loved Mary. And he was going to do something about it.

-She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine-
