It had been a while for Grace, since Leo and her had split. But for the first time in a long time, she woke up in a man's bed and felt wonderful. She stretched while the man next to her slept. He only groaned as he still slept. Grace ran her fingers over his olive skin."Mmmm." she sighed. "That was fantastic." She brushed her red curly hair from her face and lowered her lips to his back."Hello lover." She cooed. Ross lifted his head and looked at the woman in his bed."Good morning." He said as he kissed her. Grace took the sheets and wrapped them around her body."I have an appointment this morning , but I would love to have lunch with you." Grace cooed.

"Why don't I meet you then." He said . Grace took down a piece of paper and then scribbled down the address . "Meet me here." She leaned over and he gave him another kiss. Ross looked as the woman walked to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. Then he saw the address. It was Rachel's office.

Grace had decided this was the best relationship of her life. She needed to get some clothes from her and Will's. Will was happily humming as he made cookies and Grace breezed by him. "Well somebody is in a good mood or somebody got some." Will said as he stirred the batter. "Both, I have met a man." Grace smiled as she headed for the bedroom to find an oufit. "I am happy for you. It is about time one of has ." Will said. Grace ran back out excited "Oh Will, he is so wonderful. He is smart, and sexy, and funny. He is ." then she hesitated. "He is the straight version of you." She smiled.

Will was glad for his friend. Right now , he wasn't really missing her truthfully. He had his new friend , Monica. Grace wasn't that good in the kitchen and kind of sloppy. Monica was just like what he would be if he would have been a woman. Plus Monica had a yummy husband who wasn't that bad to look at.

"And the best part is he is a doctor and he is Jewish. " Grace went on. "My mother will love that."

"A Jewish doctor, just like Leo." Will said as he reminded his friend of the failed relationship.

"This guy is nothing like Leo.. He is a ." Grace couldn't think of what Ross said he was. "Pa., something to do with dinosaurs." She said.

"You mean a paleonotologist?" Will said as he put the cookies in the oven. "He works with dinosaurs?" He sounded absolutely boring to Will

and he didn't understand the connection between himself and the new man in Grace's life.

"Actually he is a professor at NYU. His name is Ross." Will immediately began to take notice at that point. He remembered Monica mentioning her brother who recently became a father for the second time. She had mentioned he taught at NYU.

"Is his name Ross Geller?" Will asked . Grace got so excited that her friend finally understood."Yes why, do you know him?"

"Not personally. But I have to tell you about my new friend, Monica." Will would now have his turn. "I met her at Zabar's and she is a chef and her husband , wow talk about dreamy blue eyes. Her last name is Geller, and she mentioned a brother who taught at NYU." Will started to say.

"I wonder if that is him." Grace said as she pulled on a boot.

"Grace I 'd watch it if I were you. According to Monica, he has been married three times and has two kids." Will warned. "And been divorced three times."

"So I will have a ready made family." Grace said. "That will save time on my learning to be a mommy when I have our kids." Grace was so sure that Ross was her dream man.

Will turned to her. "You are already planning on marrying under the canopy and dancing to Hava Nageela aren't you?"

"I haven't felt like this in a long time Will. It just feels right." She said as she looked at him. "Please be happy for me." She begged.

"I am only saying be careful. This guy from what Monica told me has just gotten out of a relationship with the mother of the one child, and I don't think it's over yet." Will had his friend Monica go on about the trials of her best friend Rachel and her own brother. He now was smack dab in the middle of his friend's budding romance.

"How do I look?" Grace twirled around and then smiled to Will. "Very nice and not at al like you are trying to impress someone." He took a swig from his water bottle.

"Well I am off to meet Rachel this morning, and then have lunch with Ross." She giggled and then smiled again . "Can't wait to meet your new woman." Grace said as she sailed through the door. Will just went back to his cookies and started to hum "Tomorrow."

Karen was sitting at her desk, but this time she wasn't alone. She was there with her new best friend. Jackie or "Poodle " was occupied with his new love interest from acting class and didn't have time for her right now. Grace rushed in and grabbed the portfolio. "No time to talk Karen, I am going to a meeting with Miss Green." Grace started out the door until she spotted the blonde woman sitting with Karen. "Who is your new friend?" Grace asked. "Oh Gracie, this is Phoebe, she is an old friend of Rosario's , so I gave her some money and she is spending the day with me. Plus she is fun." Giggled Karen as she took another swig of gin from her glass. "Hi so you are the woman who would rather be married to a gay guy." Grace gave Karen a look. "Maybe that was the old Grace, but this Grace has found a one hundred per cent hetero sexual , that's right Karen, no more hag jokes. I am going straight so to speak."

Karen smiled. "I'm happy for you, honey. And where did you find this Mr. Perfect?" Grace smiled. "First of all , I met him when I went to visit my new client and then I ran into him at a coffee shop in the Village called Central Perk. We went out and then …." Grace giggled.

"Easy honey, I know it has been forever since you have had sex, but it hasn't changed that much." Said Karen.

"No Karen, you don't understand. This guy is great. He is divorced and he has two kids , and he is funny , and he is so sweet." Grace kept gushing as she went on about the new man in her life.

Now Phoebe leaned in with interest. This guy sounded a little bit familiar to her. "You said Central Perk?" Phoebe inquired. Grace nodded. "I play my guitar there. I am a massuse and an entertainer." She bragged to Karen. "Maybe I know the guy."

"His name is Ross, Ross Geller." Phoebe 's mouth dropped. "You have been sleeping with Ross?" she exclaimed."Does Rachel know?" Grace looked at her funny. "Why would his ex girlfriend know? I mean it isn't as if they see each other every day." Grace added. Phoebe continued. "Oh my God, yes they do. And you can't be with him." She exclaimed.Grace was puzzled by this total stranger's knowledge of her new boyfriend."Why not?" Grace struck out angrily.

"Because they're lobsters." She said. Karen and Grace looked at each other. They had no idea what Phoebe was talking about. "You see lobsters mate for life and then they grow old together and they walk around in the tank holding their claws like this." Phoebe had to do the ancient gesture she showed Ross that day so long ago.

Grace took Karen aside and whispered. "What bar or hospital emergency room did you find her in?" Karen turned to her. "She's a friend of Rosie's . When Rosie first came from El Salvador, she had to live on the streets for a while. Apparently when she did, she got to be friends with this Phoebe. She brought her over to the manse and we got to drinking then we went out and had a great time. She is a free lance masseur and I hired her to come down here to hang out with me . I get so bored here."

"You wouldn't get bored if you actually did some work." Grace said . Then she looked down at her watch and exclaimed. "Oh my God,I am supposed to meet with Rachel in a half hour." Chugging her coffee and shoving a croissant in her mouth, she ran out the door. Phoebe turned to Karen. "You mean she is designing for Rachel and then sleeping with Ross?" Karen took another drink "You know just as much as me sweetie." Phoebe smiled. "Oh goodie, I love human drama."

Gracie burst through the door, obviously high on caffeine. "Sorry I am late , but you are going to love these new drawings." Rachel was slumped over her desk with her head in her arms. It was obvious she was not happy. Grace laid down her drawings. "Honey, are you alright?" she asked with concern. Rachel just sighed. "No I am not , I did a very dumb thing last night." Grace was intrigued now. "And what was that?" Rachel got up and started to walk across the floor slowly as if to pace. "Well there is this guy, no I shouldn't be telling you this." She stopped herself.Gracie put her arm around her. "No I realize we are clients ,but we both know of all the losers this city has to offer, so we as single gals are part of a sisterhood so to speak." Rachel looked at her as if she was nuts. "I mean if you are having guy problems, then I am having guy problems." Rachel then continued. "Anyway this guy and me go way back , so far back that I can't even say anymore. I got mad at him and threw him out of my apartment and told him to go and find someone else. The trouble is , I think I still have feelings for the guy. He did a dumb thing, he kept messages from other guys from me when I was living with him."

"You were living with him and you were seeing other guys? What is he gay or something?" Grace asked. Rachel shook her head. "No he isn't , we dated for more than a year and I recently had his baby." She admitted. Grace looked over at the picture again. "Is that Emma's daddy? Rachel nodded again. Grace got a very sick feeling all of a sudden. She took another glance at the picture. No it couldn't be her new man.

Grace needed to know before she could jump to any conclusions. "And is his name Ross?" she said carefully. Rachel turned to her. "Yes ." she said weakly. "He was the one who was here in your office , wasn't he?" Rachel was getting nervous now with all these questions. "Grace, why are you so curious about Ross?" Rachel said looking at her.

"Well… " Grace started to sputter and then Rachel remember her parting words. At that moment, the door to Rachel's office opened and Ross walked in smiling . "Gracie honey, I am sorry I am early, but this afternoon I have a faculty meeting and a doctor's appointment." Rachel stood at the door with her arms folded. "Where Ross ? At your pediatrician's?" she asked sarcastically.

Ross was shocked "Rachel what are you doing here?" he asked in a panic.

"This is my office." She said angrily. "I have a better question, what are you doing here?" she said eyeing what he was going to do next.Ross was not going to be intimidated by her. "For your information I have a lunch date ." he said slowly. "With Grace." He said until he realized he was standing in front two women who didn't know each other that well. He turned to Grace. "You are working for my ex wife?" Grace was shocked. "You mean you were married to this one too?" she said angrily as she slapped him. Then Rachel turned to him and punched him in the stomach. "You are dating my decorator. How could you?" then she left . Ross stood holding his face and then his stomach. His face was also clinched with pain. How was he ever going to get out of this one?
