Even though it seemed like Chandler and Ross were from different planets, Chandler was pleasantly surprised. On an afternoon where he just wanted to sit and read, Ross came in loaded with library books.

"I have a paper due on the Jurassic Period in three weeks." Ross said as he dropped the books on the bed.

"Do you always have to do that?" Chandler wrinkled his brow.

"Do what?" Ross said.

"Pronounce every syllable, clearly and loudly. What are you a drama major?" Chandler said irritated.

"There is nothing wrong with speaking correctly." Ross said irritated.

"No it' just gets on my nerves." Chandler said as he popped another piece of gum in his mouth. "Man do I need a cigarette." he moaned as he tossed the paperback on the floor. Ross picked it up and eyed it.

"Catcher in the Rye?" he said. "Great book." Ross said. "I could always relate to Holden Caufield."

"So could I , you don't know how many times I wanted to kill myself." moaned Chandler. "You mean you actually read books that didn't have to do with science?" Chandler asked curiously.

"Yeah, just because I like dinosaurs and Star Trek." Ross said. Chandler stopped him at that. "Get out of here, I love Star Trek. Captain Kirk was my favorite. Who did you like?"

"Spock, of course." said Ross. "I liked the fact that he had a logical mind but learned to explore his human side as well."

Chandler smiled and sat down. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. Maybe this little preppie from Long Island and him could be friends after all. "Yeah but Kirk got all the chicks." Chandler smiled.

"Uhura, woah talk about hot." Ross said. "Not hot like Sheena Easton, or Molly Ringwald or even Debbie Gibson." he smiled.

"Or that Heather somebody. You know that slut from Dynasty." Chandler said. "Heather Locklear."

"Dynasty?" Ross questioned. "Isn't that a girl type show?"

"It is a show that my father and I watch." Chandler said defensively. He really didn't feel comfortable enough to give away the family secrets to his roommate just yet.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Ross asked.

"Nope. Just me." Chandler said. "You?"

"Yeah she is a real pain. Her name is Monica and I hate her. She makes fun of my dinosaurs and I make fun of the fact that she's fat. And mean, she used to beat me up." Ross whined.

"Ever had a girlfriend?" Chandler asked.

"What kind of a crack is that?" Ross yelled. "Just because I am more interested in my studies then girls." quietly Ross said. "No, but there is this girl that I like a lot." he got a smile on his face as he thought of his sister's friend. "Her name is Rachel. Rachel Karen Green." he sighed. "She is a cheerleader, and popular , and only goes out with jocks or rich guys. "

"I had this one girl. But she got fat, so I dumped her. I don't like fat girls." said Chandler as he sipped his Diet Coke.

"Remind me not to introduce you to my sister then." Ross said. "Now Rachel is hot. "

"Think I might get a chance to meet this chick." Chandler asked hopefully.

"Maybe, she is my sister's best friend. But hands off , cause one day she is going to be mine." Ross said proudly. "I noticed you play the guitar. Are you a musician?"

"Yeah, but I am also into computers and math and that kind of stuff. I play and sing a little bit." Chandler said. "I thought you were into science and stuff, you like music?"

"Well I was in band in high school and then I have my "sound" that I work on. I am very talented when it comes to music. I write songs and I even rapped at my sister's bat mitzvah." Ross said.

"What's a bat mitzvah?" asked Chandler.

"When a girl becomes thirteen, they have a big party for her. It's just like when I had my bar mitzvah."

"That is so cool, maybe we can find some guys and start our own band." suggested Chandler. "I mean we have a keyboard player , I play guitar and sing , now all we need is a bass and a drum player." Chandler said excitedly.

"Excellent." exclaimed Ross as he high fived Chandler.

The following weekend, Chandler and Ross went to their first college party. The Pet Shop Boys were playing on the sound system and all the girls stood around in groups.

"Look at all those girls." said Chandler. "Now buddy, I will wow them with my humor and then you can dazzle them with your intelligence.Between that, we will get lucky tonight."

In the corner stood a girl with a blonde ponytail and teased hair. She was talking to another girl with brunette layered hair and a ribbon in it. The boys made their way over to them.

"Hi I'm Chandler and you must be the spokes models from Star Search." Chandler said as he laid the groundwork. The two girls smiled and giggled. The brunette turned to Chandler and said, "Who is your cute friend?" she said as she walked over to Ross.

"Uhm I'm Ross. Did you know that rats were the main reason for the bubonic plague in the Middle Ages?" the brunette drank a sip of her beer and walked away."Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom." she said as she made a hasty retreat.

"Way to go Ross." moaned Chandler.
