Joey and Phoebe sat on the couch. Their eyes tried to not look at each other so much. Phoebe was still technically married to Mike. Joey had to remember that thought.

But there she was , those blue eyes and that long hair. That laugh . No one woman could be sweeter than Phoebe. He often wondered what it would have been like to make love to Phoebe. He had made love to her sister, the evil twin, Ursula. He had certainly hoped it wouldn't be like that. Phoebe was so loving and giving and kind.

The phone rang. Joey was glad for the distraction." Hello. " he said.

"Joey it's Bobbie. They need somebody from the show to be at this premiere tonight. I know it's last minute and all, but Lauren called me and said she wanted you to go. They also want you to bring a date." Bobbie said. "By the way, the sexy stud knocked it out of the park today. Dee called me and they want to do a presentation on Thursday. So tell Rossy , to give me a call."

"That's great ." exclaimed Joey "I'll give him the message. And I will find a date, no wait a minute I have a date. Yeah tell Lauren it's all set.Bye Bobbie." he hung up the phone.

"Ross is supposed to call Bobbie so they can set up a meeting with the network." Joey exclaimed.

"That's great." smiled Phoebe. Joey loved looking at that smile.

"Phoebs guess what, you are going to a real Hollywood premiere tonight. As my date." Joey said sweetly.

"Why Mr. Tribbiani, I don't have a thing to wear." she shyly smiled.

"We'll find you something. My treat." Joey said as he excitedly got up from the chair.

A few hours later, Joey was sitting in a beauty salon on Rodeo. As he leaved through his comic book, he sat and looked at his watch.

"Pheebs we don't got all day. I still got to get dressed and stuffed." Joey said.

The salon owner smiled and stepped from the curtain. "Mr. Tribbiani. Your date." Slowly she walked from behind the golden drape. When he saw her , Joey's mouth dropped.

"Pheebs."

Her golden hair was piled on top of her head with tiny tendrils framing her sweet face. The hair was held in place by a gold comb with a star on it. Her eyes sparkled and her lips were lightly coated with a pint tint gloss. Pink was brushed across the apple of her cheeks and two sparkling diamonds hung from her ears.

Joey just stood in amazement. The lady at the boutique said the dress made a statement. It was a canary yellow and didn't show as much cleavage as the other ones, but it made her look like an earth goddess. She was truly ethereal to Joey as the folds of the gown fanned out like she was an angel.

"Wow I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. " exclaimed Phoebe.

"I am going to be the luckiest guy at the premiere." smiled Joey. "Shall we Ms. Hannigan." he extended his arm as her escort.

"Oh please just Pheebs, or Princess Consulela Banana Hammock." said Phoebe.

The two friends left the salon and got into the waiting limo provided by the network. Joey couldn't stop looking at Phoebe. She was so beautiful and he had to fight every bone in his being to remind himself that she was a married woman. The last time he fell in love , he also fell in love with a friend. This time he would be on guard against it.

Ross and Rachel sat in the living room as Emma played with her Hugsy . Gina was in the kitchen making supper and Michael was on the computer. None of them knew what to expect when Phoebe and Joey stepped through the door.

"Pheebs, you look gorgeous." gushed Rachel.

"Joey is taking me to a premiere as his date." Phoebe said.

Gina came over and smacked him. "You said next premiere, I was your date."

"Gina please understand , I want Phoebe to go to a real Hollywood premiere while she is here. Things have been kinda rough since her and Mike split up. You can go next time." Joey explained.

"Joey I want to go too." whined Rachel.

"May I remind you that you will have your chance. And wouldn't you rather be escorted by your husband the star, than Joey." Ross said smugly.

"Oh go play with your dinosaur bones." Rachel ran off .

"What's with her?" Ross said surprised. "PMS?"

"No, more like A-s-s." said Gina as she snapped her gum." I'll talk to her, professor."

"Pheebs, I am going to hop in the shower , put on my tux and then we're out of here." explained Joey.

Rachel went outside in the courtyard by the Jacuzzi. She was in tears . Gina came up to her. "What's wrong Rach?" she said as she put her arm around her.

"It's Ross. Ever since we got to California , it is as if he is a different person. He thinks every woman wants him and he is this big movie star. Gina , the Ross I fell in love with was shy and caring. He worked in a museum then became a teacher. I don't like Hollywood Ross." she sobbed.

"This is a weird town . It does weird things to people. In time, things will be fine." Gina assured her.

"I hope so , we haven't made love since he was told about the trip." Rachel admitted.

"Now you're in my department. Have no fear Rachel Geller. You are in the capable hands of Gina Tribbiani, Hollywood man trap.I'll have that nerd back in your bed so fast it'll make your head spin." Gina bragged.

Joey emerged from the bedroom and Phoebe and him got in the limo.
