I am SOOOOO sorry about not updating sooner, but I had major writer's block on this story. Enjoy what I know you were waiting for.

It was a sad day for Joey. He was forced to go into see the adoption agency about Sarah, but about her he didn't know.

He arrived earlier, which was unusual for him anyways, and proceeded to sit and wait. A few moments later, he noticed Karen walk in and suddenly it all became clear.

She wanted to take Sarah away from him.

Sarah was in shock. She didn't know much about these types of things, but she was sure of it now.

She had a crush on Chandler Bing. In fact, she was almost sure she was in love with him.

"Damn it," she said to herself as she walked home from school. Tonight Chandler was going to see his "beautiful girlfriend" star in a new play, which he was very excited about.

If there was one thing she was sure of it was this, Chandler loved Kathy and would do anything to stay with her.

"What am I going to do?" she thought as she entered the apartment.

Joey sighed as he sat down beside Karen in the office. Helen, who Joey had heard about from his friends, was glancing at some paperwork on her desk.

After several moments of silence, she looked up that the two people in her office.

"This is an unusual circumstance," she said, "and normally we wouldn't even consider taking such a case. However," she looked directly at Joey, "Miss Samson has brought it to our attention that the environment in which Sarah finds herself is not the best and it would be better for her to return to her aunt."

"This is absurd," Joey exclaimed quite passionately. Karen's eyes widened in shock at how important he felt about this. "In what way is my home unsuitable for Sarah?"

Karen look of shock was replaced with confusion. "Isn't it obvious?"

Joey glared at Karen, shocking the woman with the seriousness in his eyes. "No," was all he said.

His tone was meant to scare Karen, and it worked. She felt like backing away from him slowly, like one would a wild animal. However, Karen was able to hold her ground and respond to him regardless.

"You are unsuitable for Sarah as a parental role model," Karen said.

"How so? I provide…" Joey started, but Karen interrupted.

"You bring women to your apartment where you conduct inappropriate acts with them while Sarah is sleeping in the next room. Your choice of pets is questionable. You don't know how to cook or clean. Your roommate is a strange pervert, and you are no better. It isn't wise for a teenage girl to be living with two men who may very well be teenagers themselves. "

Joey was mad now, and he was yelling. "I'll have you know that Sarah has no idea what me and my girlfriends do behind the privacy of my door. She happens to love the chick and the duck as much as I do. I may not know how to cook or clean, but I have friends who do and are willing to help me out. Chandler may be a bit strange, but he is far from a pervert. I am not a pervert myself and if we act like teenagers it is because we want Sarah to feel comfortable around us."

Karen was yelling now. "That's just great. Hiding behind your friends to save you."

"I don't hide behind anyone."

"What about the fact that you are unemployed?"

"I am not unemployed!"

"That's right, I forgot. You're nothing more than a second rate actor."

"That's a low blow."

"Just telling it like it is man, just telling it like it is."

"ENOUGH!" Helen yelled, quieting both adults. "I can see that you both care extremely for the warfare of Sarah, but it isn't necessary for you to throw insults at each other."

Joey and Karen leaned back in their chairs and looked at the woman behind the desk in front of them.

"If you two insist on drawing this out, we will be forced to put Sarah into foster care during the proceedings, and there is a possibility that neither of you will be allowed to see Sarah again. Is it really worth it?"

Both Joey and Karen looked at each other before sighing, Karen in defeat and Joey in understanding.

In order to keep Sarah in both of their lives, they would have to come to some sort of compromise.

Chandler rushed back into the apartment. He was in some sort of shock and Sarah was quite surprised to see him like this.

"Chandler, what happened man?"

Sarah stood and walked over to Chandler and gently put her hand on his shoulder. He turned sharply to her.

"Chandler?" Sarah said quietly. His eyes were filled in confusion and worry. He was in shock over something and it was bothering him and she was determined to find out just what it was.

But at seeing him so down, Sarah wanted nothing more than to comfort him and so she did something she never should have done.

Sarah, without thinking, pressed her lips against Chandler's in a passionate kiss.
