If someone said three years from now you'd be long gone, I'd stand up and punch them out cause they're all wrong and that last kiss I'll cherish until we meet again and time makes it harder. I wish I could remember. But I keep your memory. You visit me in my sleep. My darling, who knew? ~ Who Knew by PINK.

Ross entered his sister's apartment in a rush. He needed to get a babysitter for Ben because he had a hot date tonight and even though he loved his son very much he was not cancelling. When he walked into the apartment, the three girls who lived there were already dressed and eating breakfast.

"Hi Monica, can you babysit Ben tonight?" Ross asked, closing the door behind him before making eye contact with his sister.

Monica sighed and shook her head. "I'm sorry Ross. I have a date tonight with Chandler." She said before shooting him an apologetic glance.

Ross nodded his head in understandment. He then looked at his ex-girlfriend, who loved Ben but she shook her head too.

"Sorry Ross, I have a very important business party to go to." Rachel replied softly.

Ross sighed and slumped into a seat. "You two aren't home tonight, Chandler and Phoebe aren't either. And Joey isn't going out…but he's my last choice and no way am I paying for a babysitter."

Patricia looked up from her delicious smiley cake pancakes Monica made and looked at her Godfather. "I'll do it." She chirped happily but Ross just looked at her unsure. "Ross, I did it last year."

"Yes, but I don't think Carol and Susan appreciated how you taught Ben about Led Zeppelin." Ross explained as he poured his orange juice. "He sang I can't quit you baby for a whole week."

"I can't quit you, baby so I'm gonna put you down for a while. I said I can't quit you, baby. I guess I gotta put you down for a while." Monica and Rachel sang while dancing in their seats like crazy fan girls. Ross just glared at them seeing that they weren't backing his point. Patricia just shrugged and joined her two guardians. "Said you messed up my happy home. Made me mistreat my only child. Yes, you did, babe, oh."

"Ross, would you prefer if I thought Ben about Led Zeppelin or Phoebe teach Ben one of her inappropriate songs?" Patricia mused, pursing her lips together and raising an eyebrow.

"So I'll be gone for a few hours but if I'm not back by two I won't be back till tomorrow." Ross told her and took a sip of juice. Patricia smiled and nodded in understandment. "How does ten dollars an hour sound?"

"Perfect but I'll give you my friends and family discount." She replied making Ross smile widely and thank her. "So that's nine dollars and ninety nine cents per hour."

Ross gave her a dry expression. "Gee, thanks."

Patricia was sitting down at the table while drinking a cup of tea. She glanced at the clock to see that Ross would be bringing Ben over in a half hour. The door opened revealing Chandler all dressed up in his nice suit and his hair combed nicely.

"Wow, look at you all dolled up." Patricia complimented making Chandler look down at his suit and smile. "You look so handsome."

"And you look so beautiful." Chandler teased before coming closer and kissing the teen's cheek.

Patricia was wearing: ( wwwDOTpolyvoreDOTcom/cgi/set?id=77764712). She smiled at Chandler. "Aww shucks."

"Is Monica ready?" He asked before taking a seat at the table.

"Not yet." The teen girl said shaking her head before taking a sip of her tea.

Joey came in to the apartment and went straight to the fridge. The two others greeted him but his mind was on food.

"I need money for food when I'm babysitting Joey and Ben." Patricia said making Chandler chuckle as he took out his wallet.

He handed her thirty dollars. "Now Joey can't have pizza after ten o'clock."

Patricia nodded in agreement and put the money in her pocket. Chandler turned his head to see Monica come out of her bedroom and his jaw dropped. She was wearing: ( wwwDOTpolyvoreDOTcom/outfit/set?id=70276286) Joey stopped making his sandwich and looked up at Monica.

"W-Wow! Well done Chandler!" Joey complimented making Monica and Patricia roll their eyes and groan.

Chandler stood up and made his way over to Monica. "Wow, you look…wow."

"Really?" She asked smiling and blushing.

Chandler nodded his head. "Uh-huh."

Patricia heard a knock on the door and she got up out of her seat. Joey took hold of her wrist, pulling her back towards him. She turned around and raised an eyebrow at Joey's actions.

"It could be a murderer." Joey whispered making the teen girl roll her eyes playfully. "I'll get it."

Joey got up and answered the door to Ross, who was holding onto his four year old soon. Joey invited them in.

"See Joe, it was just Ross and Ben." Patricia whispered and Joey looked at her warningly. "Hey Benny!" She said and scooped the four year old up in her arms making him giggles.

"Trishie!" Ben squealed in delight while hugging her tightly.

"Now Ben be good for Trishie and Joey." Ross said before kissing Ben's head. "You'll be ok?"

"We'll be fine Ross." Patricia replied reassuringly.

Ross nodded his head before planting a kiss on his Goddaughter's forehead. He went to Joey, who was standing beside Patricia and looking insulted. Ross looked at him awkwardly so he punched his friend's shoulder playfully before leaving.

Patricia walked into the living room from Monica's room to see Joey watching TV. The teen girl had just tucked Ben into bed, which was a struggle seeing that he wouldn't go to sleep if she didn't tell him a dinosaur story and she had to make it up herself. Definitely his father's son, she thought.

"Hey Joe." Patricia said before sitting down beside the actor, who was flicking through the channels.

"Did he go to sleep ok?" Joey asked, turning his head to look at the teen.

Patricia just nodded in response before picking up the TV Guide off the coffee table. She flicked though it to see if anything good was on tonight.

"Joey, American Pie is on in a half hour." Patricia told him, which made him smile goofily. But then maturity kicked in.

"I don't think Monica would appreciate it if I let you watch it." He replied and gave her one of his serious looks.

Patricia crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. "Fine." She said before an idea popped into her head. She sighed deeply before resting her head on Joey's arm. He bit his lip as he looked down at her. How could he say no to that face?

Joey gave into her cuteness. "Fine we can watch it." Patricia smiled widely and hugged Joey, who smiled before kissing the top of her head.

They heard a knock on the door and they assumed it was Ross. Patricia got up and headed to the door, chuckling slightly when Joey said 'He mustn't have gotten laid.' She opened the door and gasped at the sight.

Standing in the doorway, was a tall and stiff looking woman. Her blue eyes gave you a cold feeling in your heart when they looked into yours. Her brown mousy hair was tied up in a tight bun so none of her face was hidden and you could see seriousness of her expression.

"Hello darling." She spat coldly making Patricia back away.

"Joey." Patricia called and Joey turned around and gasped. He was not expecting her to show up. He rushed over to Patricia's side and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Hello mother."

"Get your stuff, you're leaving New York and you're never returning." Frannie told her, the tone of her voice threating and made chills run down Joey and Patricia's spines.

"This is my home." The teen girl replied firmly and Joey nodded in agreement.

Frannie laughed bitterly at her daughter's remark. "Home? They aren't your legal guardians. Also you are just a burden on them all. They have to work extra so they can feed you and clothe you and whatnot."

Patricia looked down at the floor ashamed. Those thoughts always entered her mind and now they were confirmed. Maybe it would be for the best if she went home…

"No she's not." Joey said firmly. He was not going to listen to this woman, who made her daughter's life hell by telling her how she's never good enough when Patricia is pure perfection in every way. "She belongs here."

Ignoring Joey's comment, Frannie looked coldly at her daughter. "Pack your bags."

Patricia was still looking down at the floor. Even though home was hell and her mother was Satan's bitch the gang would be better off. They wouldn't have to worry about picking her up from school, buying her clothes and food and feeling bad that she slept on the couch.

Mind made up, she raised her gaze and nodded her head at her mother, who smiled wickedly. Joey looked down at Patricia worriedly.

"Patricia…" He said softly but she just shook her head and walked away.

Patricia grabbed her bags that were more or less packed. She looked at Joey and wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Thank you. Bye Joey."

Joey hugged her back as he whispered his goodbye. He watched her love feeling close to tears. He watched her walk out the open door but Patricia stopped for a second to glance back at him before turning back and closing the door. To Joey it was like in slow emotion.
