Now both Will and Grace had found new friends and each of them was eager to share them with each other. Monica had decided to open up the apartment for a dinner party. She wanted to get to know more about her new friend's best friend and her brother's new girlfriend. Will was anxious to meet the man who captured Grace's heart. Everyone sat down with their planners and penciled in the evening. In typical Monica fashion, she fussed over every detail . Will smiled when he received his lacy invitation with calligraphy.

Rachel had been down since the confrontation in her office between her decorator and Ross. In the past whenever she saw Ross with another woman, she would always feel depressed. She had always thought that when they brought Emma home from the hospital, things would change and they would go back to that place. Everything was fine until the night her and Phoebe went out , a guy thought she was gorgeous and asked for her phone number. It had been quite a while so it was nice to feel desirable again. If he didn't start with the jealousy again , it would have been fine. Now she was back at Joey's. Her mother decided to come and get Emma, Joey was working on his acting classes , so she was alone. Pouring herself a glass of wine, she sat on the couch and looked out the window. Then she decided she would try to drown her sorrows.

"What is this?" Gracie said as she held up the envelope. Will was more than glad to rehearse the speech that Monica told him. "It is an invitation to a dinner party that Monica is hosting. We both figured that since we know so little about each other's person, it would be nice to spend an evening getting to know each other." Gracie giggled at the compulsive nature of Monica, it reminded her of Will.

"It is a shame that you are gay, this woman could be your soul mate." Grace said. Will looked at her . "But I thought I was your soul mate." Will whined jokingly.

Grace brightened up . "I am so anxious for you to meet Ross. His little daughter is so adorable."she scrunched up her face as she talked of babies. Grace was definitely ready to be a mother. Will thought he would give him a chance. He just didn't want to see Grace hurt again and Ross did not have a good track record. "Well he seems like a great guy." Will said. "And Monica , you are going to love her." He smiled .

"I am sure that I will, her brother speaks very highly of her . And speaking of him , I am running late and have to get a sexy dress for this evening." Grace then dashed into her bedroom.

Chandler was getting used to Will spending a lot of time with Monica. He just wished that he could spend more time with her. "I have a feeling ." he mumbled behind his newspaper. Monica looked over at him with a glare. "What did you say?" she gritted between her teeth. "I just said that I have a feeling how this is all going to turn out." Monica walked over to him. "This is going to be a classy adult evening. Good conversation and good food." Chandler just shook his head at Monica's optimism.

Ross was standing in front of the mirror and tying his tie. Grace breezed through the open door and then wrapped her arms around him. Squealing , she said. "Oh I just couldn't wait to wrap myself around my sexy boyfriend." She then kissed Ross on the cheek.

"Ready for tonight?'

Ross went to the refrigerator and grabbed the bottle of wine he bought. "This is for your friend, Will. You said he was into that whole wine and dinner thing. " Grace smiled at him and then they left.

Rachel sat on the couch alone. Joey was off working on his acting scene and Emma was with her mother. She sat with a bottle of wine and sipped it while looking at Hugsy. How did she end up in this mess? She was so happy a few short weeks ago. Damn him and his stupid jealousy. He hadn't learned a thing from before. But what was the one thing that made her keep coming back to him? Was it his charm, his intelligence? No it was the fact that he was the one man who had been so good to her. The year they dated was the happiest time of her life. When Emma was born, they weren't like friends, they were like a married couple with a baby. She held the secret hope in her heart that he would realize the same. Instead, they ended like they always did, yelling and screaming , with her crying and ending up at Joey's with a baby and her suitcases. Now she was alone, and Ross was dating someone else. She poured another glass.

"Everything smells so good." Commented Ross as he came through the door. He expected to see Monica at the stove in the kitchen. "Why thank you." Smiled Will. "And who is this beautiful woman?" he said with charm. "Cut it out Truman." She smacked. "And this must be Monica's handsome , and smart brother." He extended his hand to Ross and he shook it. "And my roomie's hot sexy boyfriend." He said with a sly look.

"You can tell he's a lawyer." Ross said with a smirk. "But he is absolutely right. I brought some wine for dinner." Ross handed it to Will.

Monica breezed from the bedroom. "I see you have met Will. And you must be Grace?" she smiled as she introduced herself. "This is Chandler," Chandler mumbled. "It's going to be a disaster." Monica smacked him in the head. "Please ignore him." She said as she ran over to make the drinks. "And what would you like?" Ross took this as his invitation. "I am going to have…" he started. "Nothing, brother dear, I know what happens when you drink, so you are having mineral water or soda." Chandler couldn't help but laugh at that comment. Naturally Ross gave him one of his looks.

"Sweetie, do you have a drinking problem I don't know about?" Grace asked innocently. Ross looked over at Monica. "No honey, I just sometimes have done a few stupid things when I got a little bit too tipsy." His voice went up when he said that. Almost on cue, Karen and Phoebe, burst through the door.

"In time , I 'll have a martini." Karen said matter of factly as she perched her perfectly shaped legs in the chair . Phoebe copied her every move as she was now dressed in the same designer threads as Mrs. Walker. "Me too." She said in her rich Phoebe voice.

"This is a private party, and I do not believe you are on the guest list." Will said to Karen. Karen turned to him. "Oh come on, Wilma, you and your wife are b o r-ing. You need people like us here." Monica whispered to Will . "Do we want her here ? I mean you know her?" she said as she motioned to Karen. Will got a grin on his face. "Okay, I think it is time for you and Cliffie to go back to Cheers?" he pulled Karen from the chair.

Rachel was now feeling no pain. She just smiled and then she looked at the picture again. Emma and Ross. "Why do you do this to me , Geller? Why is it everytime I think I am over you, I find out I am not. I mean it's not that you are a hunk . You are a dweebie guy who likes dinosaurs. Is it because you're good in bed? Maybe, that's it. But sex isn't everything. No it must be because you are so sweet and generous , that 's why." Rachel got up and ran to the door. "I've got to tell him. I've got to do it before it is too late and I am running into another one of his weddings." She slurred.

Joey sat on the chair as Jack continued to look at him. His date had been cancelled because she found out he had also been sleeping with her roommate and her lesbian lover. When Joey asked if he could watch, she threw him out. Jack continued to stare at him . Joey looked over at him.

"Look , just because you brought pizza and want to work on our scene, doesn't mean I have forgiven you. I told you I am straight." Joey said as he looked at his script.

"Isn't there a little part of you who is just a little curious. Not with doing it with one of your straight friends who is pretending , but a real man loving man.?" Jack slowly reached over and put his arm around Joey. Joey jumped up from his couch, knocking over Hugsy and ran with Jack taking off after him. He headed for the Bings next door.

Grace and Ross were in their own little world of kissing and whispering to each other. This was perfection. He had finally moved on from the dysfunctional Rachel relationship. Grace was loving and wanted a man who wanted to be in a committed relationship. Ross wanted this for years. Was he ready to take the next step with her? Perched on his lap, she began to kiss him passionately.

"Grace, no." whined Will. "let me deal with Boozilla first." He turned his head in confusion from side to side as he saw his best friend making out with her boyfriend and Karen swilling a martini. At that moment, Rachel opened the door.

"Ross..Ross, I need to talk to you." She slurred. Grace looked up from her make out session. Rachel stormed over to her. "What in the hell are you doing with him?" she said threatingly. " I am kissing my boyfriend." Grace said as she got up . She knew what was about to happen, Will knew it too. Rachel pushed her. "I don't think so. You see I happen to love this man. And I want him back." Rachel stared her down. "Finders keepers , losers weepers." Pouted Grace in a childish manner. Rachel pulled her away from Ross. "You see in the past , I have backed down from fighting for him. No more." Rachel rubbed her hands together. "So get ready to get your ass kicked."

"Rachel please." Ross got up and said disgusted. "This is between her and me." Rachel said as she walked toward Grace. "Girls, there is no need for violence." Ross said calmly. "Oh dear." He said as he ran away.

"I have known Grace for fifteen years. I can handle this." Will said as he walked toward the two. Monica just kept drinking her scotch and Karen was just amused by the whole thing.

"At least all my male friends are straight." Rachel said nose to nose to Grace.

"At least I didn't get knocked up when I was not married." Grace said through her teeth.

"At least when I slept with my best friend, I didn't turn him gay." Rachel sneered.

"At least I wasn't on a break." Grace sneered. Rachel came after her. "You bitch." She yelled as she attacked.

"Ladies , we are all grown ups here." Will said as he tried to separate the two women. Ross came over . "Dude, I wouldn't do that if I were you.' He said with fear in his voice. "I can handle Gracie." Will said with a false confidence. Grace and Rachel grabbed Will and then threw him over the couch. "I tried to warn you." Ross said as he looked down at the injured Mr. Truman. Monica couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Chandler, I need help in the kitchen." She yelled. Chandler was so engrossed in the fight. "In a minute, Mon." he called as he watched the two women thrashing their hair about and growling. Ross was surprisingly getting aroused by the fact that these two women were actually doing battle over him. At this point, Joey ran threw the door with Jack chasing him. "Will you tell this guy I like girls." He screamed as he ran up to Chandler. "Oh chick fight." He smiled and stopped to watch the action. "Who's the hot red head?" he asked. "My girlfriend." Ross answered as he continued to watch. Will stumbled up and then he put his hand on Jack's shoulder. "When are you going to learn, if he says he likes girls, he likes girls." He said to Jack. Jack began to pout.

"Chandler are you coming?" came the voice from the kitchen. "In a minute .." he said again as he planted himself in his chair and watched the women fighting. Karen licked her lips lustfully as she watched the two girls. Phoebe looked over at Karen as she sipped her drink. Will walked over to Ross. "You take yours and I 'll take mine." The two men went over and Ross grabbed Rachel and Will took his arms and wrapped them around Grace's , he was very careful since he knew that she had incredible upper body strength. "Enough Xena and Gabriella." He bellowed.

Ross stopped when Rachel was still struggling. He was almost afraid she would punch him again or something. "You still love me?" he said hopefully. Rachel turned to face him. "Yes Ross. I may yell at you and I may want to hit you. But you are the sweetest and most generous guy that I know. And you are the father of Emma." She said with a sweet voice. "I was just afraid that once again it was too late."

"Why do you do this? I told you before girl on girl action doesn't work on us." Will said to Grace. Ross looked at Rachel and took her hand. "Oh I wouldn't say that." He smiled. "Rachel, would you like to go somewhere and talk?" Ross asked with a lusty look in his eye. "That would be wonderful Dr. Geller." The couple opened the door and walked out .

"Chandler , I am not calling you again." Monica screamed. Chandler smiled and got up from his chair. "Go for it." Joey high fived him and he headed to the kitchen. "Chandler, when I call, oh , oh, oh…."Monica said as she calmed down."oh oh oh. Yes." She screamed .

Karen looked at Phoebe. "How bout that drink now babe?" she said with a smirk. Phoebe smiled. "Karen? Why don't I introduce you to Ross' first wife, Carol." Karen had been told who she was and smiled to Phoebe. "Sounds good to me." Then the two lushes left.

"You really are straight?" Jack said sadly. "Dude, I like chicks , but I also like you. You remind me a lot of myself. Well if I was a guy who liked guys, you do." Joey said very carefully. "I mean we both are actors and we never call who we sleep with afterwards. Why don't we go to some clubs and I will hit on the girl and you can hit on her date." Jack knew he had found a new friend. The two guys left smiling at each other.

"Well there goes another one." Moaned Grace. Will held out his arms. "Come here." He said sweetly. "Gracie , he was a nice guy , but he was also still in love with her. You will find your guy and with hope , so will I ." Will smiled. "Let's go to Krispy Kreme." With their arms around each other, they walked out the door.
