Back at Monica and Chandler's apartment, Monica and Phoebe were sitting at the table waiting for the meatloaf to be done. Joey came storming in and asked, "Is the meatloaf ready yet, Monica?"
"No, it's still in the oven, Joey," Monica replied.
"C'mon, we're starving here, right Phoebs?" Joey said.
Phoebe made a sour face and said, "Uh, no, I'm still not eating poor Bessy the cow."
Joey looked confused and asked, "Who's Bessy the cow? Wasn't that Monica's nickname in high school?"
"NO!" shouted Monica.
Phoebe jumped in. "Yes it was, you bought every single box of Girl Scout cookies sold that one year!"
"Hey, I was just helping those poor little girls!" Monica defended herself.
"Sure you were, Mon, but who is Bessy the cow? She sounds fun!" Joey said, still puzzled.
"Bessy the cow is who you're eating when you eat meatloaf, Joey!" Phoebe said strongly. "Didn't you know meatloaf comes from killing cows?"
Joey looked like he had just gotten the biggest shock of his life. "What?! I love cows, I don't want your…your…cow-killing meatloaf anymore, Monica! I'm gonna go order some pizza!" He stormed out of the apartment and went across the hall to his apartment. He mumbled to himself, "Pizza better not come from killing cows too or I'm screwed!" He pressed the play button on his answering machine to check for any messages. The only message was from his agent, Estelle.
"Hey Joey, it's Estelle," his answering machine said. "Just wanted to remind you that Daphne Starr is coming over to your place soon to discuss Days of Our Lives."
Joey straightened up quickly. "Oh my gosh, I completely forgot!"
Chandler casually entered the apartment with a newspaper in hand and greeted Joey.
"Man, you gotta help me clean up this place, Daphne Starr's going to be here any minute!" Joey begged.
Chandler looked up from his newspaper very quickly. "Oh my gosh, the hottest woman alive, Baywatch star Daphne Starr is coming here?!"
"I know, right! I've had a crush on her forever, I'm thinking tonight's the night I go for it!" Joey said in a very excited and high pitched voice.
"No, you can't do that, Joey," Chandler said. "Wouldn't it be weird to work together after that? Besides, she's MY dream girl, don't tell Monica!"
Just as Chandler said that, Phoebe strutted into the apartment. "Don't tell Monica what? I love secrets!" she said.
Now it was Chandler's turn to talk in an excited and high pitched voice. "Daphne Starr's coming here any minute!"
Joey begged again, this time to Phoebe. "You gotta help me clean up this place!"
A light bulb flashed in Phoebe's head. "I'll go get Monica! This is one secret you can't keep from her. She still hasn't forgiven me for not letting her clean my apartment." Phoebe rushed out of there and into the apartment across the hall.
"Monica, Joey needs help cleaning!" Phoebe said out of breath.
Monica jumped out of her seat, almost falling over. "I'll grab my label maker!" she screeched, already racing to her bedroom. She came back with a huge smile on her face and with the label maker in her hand. She and Phoebe raced back over to Joey's and Monica made record time tidying up Joey's place. Then they went back to Monica's apartment to get some ice cold lemonade.
"Wow, that was fast, I think that's your new record!" Phoebe complimented Monica.
"I KNOW!" Monica said a little too loudly with a huge grin on her face.
"While you're in a good mood, can I ask you something" Phoebe asked while pouring herself another glass of lemonade.
"Sure, what is Phoebs?" Monica answered. "Your place need some tidying up too?"
"No, but could you watch my little Foo-Foo today?" Phoebe asked.
Monica made a face. "Who's Foo-Foo?"
"My…dog," Phoebe said, quickly adding, "But before you say no, she's very cute and neat!"
"You have a dog?" Monica said, surprised. "How come I didn't know about this?"
"Well, let's just say animals aren't your thing," Phoebe said gently. "Remember my rat babies?"
"NOT THE RAT BABIES!" Monica shrieked while jumping up on the chair.
Phoebe tried to calm her down. "Whoa, Mon, no rat babies. Sorry for bringing it up."
Monica returned to sitting on her seat. "All right, I'm okay. Just no more rat babies, okay?" Phoebe nodded. Monica continued, "Phoebs, I love dogs, I'll watch Foo-Foo for you. I had a dog when I was little, poor thing was starving though since I ate all his dog food all the time. Don't judge me!"
"I won't," Phoebe reassured her. "Thanks, Mon, I'll bring Foo-Foo over later today, before I go to the doctor."
"Why do you have to go the doctor? Are you okay?" Monica asked worriedly.
"Oh, I'm fine," Phoebe smiled. "I just want to see the cute doctor again!"
Monica laughed and then looked disappointed for a moment. "I'd love to go check this cute doctor out with you, but I'm with Chandler now."
"I told you that you'd regret it!" Phoebe said.
"Oh, shut up Phoebs, I love Chandler, just get outta here before I get jealous again!" Monica smirked. Phoebe finished her glass of lemonade and then left.
Meanwhile, over at Joey's, there was a knock at the door. Joey looked through the peephole to make sure it was really her, and it was. He couldn't believe Daphne Starr was actually right outside and that he was just about to meet her!
