Joey woke up early the next morning. He was going to meet with Sarah's Aunt Karen today and talk about what to do about the girl. His current girlfriend, Kathy, would be in later tonight for their date, leaving Chandler to baby-sit.

He hated doing this to both Chandler and his daughter, but he was new to this father thing and wanted to do it right. Sarah was doing well in her new school and was making friends. She was even talking about a boyfriend she might have.

This worried Joey to no end. He knew how boys her age thought, he used to be one. It was one thing for him to be one of those boys, but it was quite another for his daughter to be dating one of them.

That was how he ended up in this mess in the first place, not that he would trade Sarah for anything, but he was not expecting to be a single father in New York while trying to get a job as an actor in a small apartment.

He didn't like the way she was living while with him, but he didn't want to lose her to her Aunt Karen either.

Now Aunt Karen was something else. If he had met her on the street without Sarah there with him, he would have put the moves on her and would probably have spent the night with her in his bed, or her bed. But she was the infamous Aunt Karen who Sarah worshipped and adored and he couldn't even fathom a relationship with such a young woman who grew up with Sarah.

On the other hand, Karen was quite beautiful. She also seemed to care about Sarah a great deal. She would make a great mother for her.

Joey stopped in his tracks, with his pants halfway up his legs.

Since when did Joey Tribbianni think that women would make good mothers? Since he started raising a hormonal teenage girl all on his own, that's when.

Not only that, but Chandler was acting strange too. He was acting crazy. The other day when Joey came home, Chandler had replaced all the furniture that had been stolen. It was bizarre He was almost acting guilty of something.

Joey shook his head; there was no way that Chandler had done something wrong. They were the best of friends and he would never do anything to betray that trust.

Joey finished getting dressed and quietly opened his door. Sarah was already up and cooking breakfast. It smelled delicious.

Joey walked out and sat down on one of the stools by the kitchen. "So, what are we having for breakfast today?"

Sarah smiled. "Eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. How do you like your eggs?"

Joey smiled. His daughter was great, once you got past the hormones. She cooked,

cleaned, and even took care of the birds when both Chandler and Joey were out and about. If she wasn't his daughter, Joey would have married her. She was perfect.

About this time Chandler wandered out of his room. He looked like he didn't get any sleep last night, and his hair was flying every which way.

"Good morning sleepy head," Sarah said with a smile. Chandler looked up and smiled back at her. It was nice that they were all like a family.

Chandler looked at Joey and immediately began acting weird again. It was just like the other day, when Kathy was there. It seemed like they didn't get along…at least to him.

After he finished eating breakfast Joey rushed out the door. He had an audition and didn't want to be late.

As soon as Joey was gone, Sarah turned to Chandler.

"You have to tell him," she said as she buttered another piece of toast. Chandler looked up at the girl with shock in his eyes.

"Tell him what?" he said trying to play innocent. Sarah took a bite of her toast and looked directly at Chandler.

"About kissing Kathy," she said.

Chandler almost fell out of his chair. How the hell did she know what had happened between them?

"How did you know?"

Sarah smiled. "Let's see," she said as she started counting off on her fingers.

"First you buy her that great present, which she knew it was from you in the first place, then you get a chance to spend the night alone with her when my father was out with another woman. Then you start acting guilty and bought all the furniture for the apartment, which you really couldn't afford. And you always act nervous around Dad like your afraid he'll suddenly know what is going on. Either you are sleeping with one of his relatives that he is really close to, like me, or you did something with his girlfriend and are afraid of his reaction about it."

Chandler just sat there in shock. This girl was good.

"How did you figure all that out?"

"Easy, you are easy to read, and I saw the way Kathy looked at the present you gave her at the restaurant, and I saw her tell you thanks for it and the way she was looking at you."

Chandler nodded. "So, what do you think I should do?"

"Tell him."

Chandler nodded again. "Couldn't I just tell him that I was sleeping with you?"

"Sure," Chandler let out a deep breath, "unless you like your balls where they are. I would definally let Dad think that you are sleeping with his only daughter."

"How do you think he'll react to his best friend kissing his girlfriend?"

"Less intense, but your trust will be gone," Sarah said picking up her backpack. She walked around the little peninsula and kissed Chandler on the cheek.

"Trust me, Uncle Chandler, it is safer to just tell him about Kathy."

Chandler nodded again and waved as Sarah left the apartment on her way to school.
