"And Uncle Joey ran after Luke, but he couldn't catch him,"Emma says explaining what happened a few hours earlier to Ben and Erica while their all at Central Perk.
"Couldn't we try calling him again, to apologize ?"Erica asks from her spot next to Emma and Ben on the couch.
"We tried, it went straight to voicemail, he doesn't want to talk to us, I can't blame him,"Jack says wringing his hands, feeling guilty.
"We shouldn't have done it so soon, we should have eased them both into it before we told them,"Ben says as Emma, Sophie and Jack glare at him.
"It was your idea,"Jack says as everyone else agrees.
"Well it was better than anything you guys came up with, Sophie was ready to call Entertainment Tonight,"Ben motioning to Sophie who was sitting in the chair to his right.
"I wasn't really going to do it, besides what's going to stop Emma from reporting this on tomorrow's news,"Sophie says motioning to Emma who looks very offended.
"I would never do that I have morals, I do,"Emma says as Erica starts to laugh.
"Are you kidding me. Emma, you once bribed a priest to get information about people's confessions. Your willing to do anything to get a story,"Erica says lean's across Ben get closer to Emma.
"At least I never bought a kid candy in exchange for his father's criminal activities. Your just as bad as I am,"Emma says leaning in equally close to Erica.
"Ladies can we not do this here,"Ben says pushing his sister and cousin back into their seats.
"What are we going to do about this whole Luke and Joey thing,"Sophie asks as Emma and Erica settle back into their seats while shooting daggers at each other.
"I don't think there's anything we can do at this point, we ruined their only chance at a normal relationship, and we just have to sufffer the consequences,"Jack says as Alex Tribbiani, Joey's wife, walks in the coffee shop and comes over to the gang.
"Hey, what did you guys do to Joey, ever since he got home, he's been calling every woman he slept with to see if he got them pregnant,"Alex asks as the gang shares a look and then look back to Alex.
"We may have found out he had a son before you guys met that he never knew about,"Jack says wringing his hands again.
"And we may have tried to get them to talk which ended with that son storming out of the apartment,"Emma says as Alex looks shocked.
"What, how did you even find this guy, how do you know that he's who he says he is ?"Alex asks throwing her black purse onto the coffee table.
"He interviewed to be Jack's roommate, and he looks a lot like Joey,"Erica says picking her coffee up from the coffee table.
"Oh my god, what's this guy like, what's his name, what does he do for a living,"Alex asks a million miles a minute.
"Well his name is Luke Tribbiani, he's twenty-six, he's a doctor over at the free clinic on third,"Emma says listing off everything she knows about Luke, but leaving out she thought he was gorgeous.
"A doctor who ever thought someone made from Joey's sperm would ever become a doctor or anything with a higher degree,"Alex says pulling up one of the chairs from a nearby table.
"Well come on Alex, your girls are smart,"Ben says a little unsure.
"Their average at best. Don't get me wrong I love my girls but their not winning any prizes. Why don't you try calling him again ?"Alex asks crossing her legs at the ankle.
"We tried, he won't talk to us,"Sophie says leaning forward in her chair.
"So your just going to give up. Come on where are the girls who once went to Philadelphia to stop Emma's boyfriend from seeing a picture of her and another guy making out when she was drunk,"Alex says as Emma and Erica raise their hands.
"And where the guy who also went to Philadelphia to beat that guy up when he made out with another girl while drunk,"Alex asks as Ben raises his hand.
"And where are the guys who once tried to build a rocket from a remote control car and duck tap, and caused a small fire,"Alex asks as Jack and Sophie raise their hands.
"Just for the record, it was not a remote control car it was helicopter and it flew before it set that shed on fire," Jack says looking down at his cup of coffee.
"My point being, where are the guys who come up with crazy schemes that somehow always manage to work themselves out,"Alex asks moving her hands as she talks to make her point.
"We already tried a crazy scheme and we had it blow up in our faces,"Emma says brushing her brown hair out of her eyes.
"I bet you guys have room for just one more, one that will blow all of your other ideas out of the water, and most importently it will get Luke and Joey talking,"Alex says in a way that suggests she is willing to do anything.
"If you want an evil plot, talk to Sophie,"Erica says pointing at Sophie who in turn smiles.
"It's true, she's an evil genius,"Ben says as Sophie smiles even bigger.
"I'm not saying Sophie's an evil genius but the Joker once came to her for advice about how to catch Batman, and he ran out screaming after he found out what she had in mind,"Jack says setting his coffee onto the table.
"Stop it guys, you're embarrassing me,"Sophie says blushing.
"So do you have anything,"Alex asks shifting in her chair to look at Sophie.
"Well that depends, does anyone here have access to dynamite ?"Sophie asks as everyone looks both shocked and scared.
"No, and even if we did we wouldn't tell you,"Emma says as everyone else agrees.
"Okay then what about the Black Plague ?"Sophie asks as everyone else looks even more shocked and scared.
"No,"they all yell at the same time.
"Okay, okay, no plague,"Sophie says taken aback.
"Do you have anything that won't potential cause harm to other people ?"Ben asks as Sophie thinks.
"Nope,"Sophie says still her happy bubbly self.
"I've got it,"Erica says snapping her fingers.
"Well tell us, otherwise I might have to take up that dynamite idea,"Alex says as she looks at Sophie who in turn nods.
"One of us should go to the clinic tomorrow, pretend to be a patient and when Luke comes in to examine us, ambush him,"Erica says as everyone looks impressed.
"That sounds great, but who should do it,"Jack asks thinking the idea over.
"It can't be you, me or Sophie because Luke would recognize us and would leave the room as soon as he sees us,"Emma says talking to Jack.
"I'll do it the girls have school so I can be down here for the whole day,"Alex says as everyone nods and agrees.
"Okay so it's set, by this time tomorrow we'll know if Luke and Joey will ever talk again,"Emma says drinking some of her green tea.
"And if it doesn't work, one more reason to hate George Bush,"Sophie says as Alex looks at her confused.
"Don't, just don't,"Emma says before Alex could ask anything, no one had the time or the energy to get into that today.
