Chandler and Monica live in their apartment together, married. Ross and Rachael are married and live across the street in Ross' apartment. When Rachael moved in with Ross (and left Joey), Joey got lonely living by himself and couldn't pay the rent anyway, so he invited Phoebe to move in with him. At first, Phoebe said no, not wanting to have to move out of her apartment (because of the exclusive 'good' karma there that Joey's apartment didn't have), but after Joey begged her for two days, she couldn't take it anymore and agreed. Now they live together across the hall from Chandler and Monica.

It was a Friday night, and Phoebe was playing a song on her guitar about Joey's recent back luck with women. Of course, this was because this apartment didn't have good karma.

"My roommate, he has no date,
It's Friday, it's getting late,
Colleen has just become his 'ex,'
Tonight he won't have sex!"

Joey put his Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition down, as he was no longer able to concentrate. It was too hard for him to see the skin behind the swimsuits anyway.

"Okay, okay! It's just my first weekend of abstinence this year; it's not like you have to write a song about it. Jeesh." He rolled his eyes and picked up the magazine again.

"How did you know it was about you?" Phoebe asked, surprised. She placed her guitar on their couch and straightened her skirt, which was blue with moons and suns on it.

Joey thought about it for a moment. "Wow, you're right! I dunno. Hey! Maybe I have ESP!" he exclaimed, sitting up and smiling excitedly.

"Ooh, that is so cool! Let me test you!" Phoebe concentrated with her eyes closed for a second. "Ooh, okay, I know! Who am I thinking about right now?"

Joey tried to read Phoebe's mind again, but couldn't think of who she was thinking about. "Hmm. I'm not getting your 'vibes' like before. Oh! Try singing about it on your guitar!" he suggested. The Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition lay forgotten in front of his brown armchair.

"Verse Two!" Phoebe said, picking up her guitar again.

"He's been rejected by three girls,
In this very week alone,
He loved Cassandra's golden curls,
But to Milwaukee she has flown!"

"Oh, I got it… You're thinking about me!" Joey said, proud of his amazing new talent.

Phoebe was almost speechless. But, since we all know Phoebe, that's almost impossible.

"This is like… totally amazing!" she said, standing up. "We have to tell Chandler and Monica."

"Yeah," Joey agreed. And to think that Chandler didn't believe him when he said he had ESP last month!

"Okay, I'll get my coat!" Phoebe said happily.

"But it's right across the hall," Joey explained with a confused look.

"Oh yeah, huh…" Phoebe stopped smiling. "But it does get kinda drafty in that hall, don't you think?" she asked, waving her hands in an airy way.

"Now that you mention it, I always thought there was a sort of draft in that hall."

So Phoebe put on a brown jacket and Joey his puffy gray snow coat, and they went across the hall to their friends' apartment.
