Choosing you [Joey. T]

the one with the giant poking device

"here you go pheebs. who else wants one of my special homemade brownies?" rachel said offering the plates to ross, chandler and camila. the three gladly accepted them but quickly put them back when yelled and spit it out.

"no, no. it's just my tooth" she told the three and they grabbed theirs again.

"so what's the matter, you need a dentist? i've got a good one." ross asked her.

"no thanks. i have a good one too. i just, i-i can't see him." she told him.

"see, that is the problem with invisible dentists." chandler joked earning a giggle from camila.
"why can't you see him?" camila asked phoebe.

"because...every time i go to the dentist somebody dies." she confessed to the group.

"that is so weird because every time i go to the dentist i look down the hygienists blouse." chandler said causing ross to chuckle and camila to hit his chest

"phoebe...um...what?" rachel asked confused with what the blonde had just told them.
"yea! first there was my aunt mary, and then there was john, my mailman and then my cowboy friend, albino bob." phoebe told them.

"wait so all these people actually died?" camila asked still not believing the story.

"yes! while i was on the chair. that's why i take such good care of my teeth now. you know, it's not about oral hygiene i floss to save lives."

"pheebs, come on. you didn't actually kill anybody. these people just happened to die when you went to the dentist. it's just a coincidence." ross said trying to reason with her.

"well tell that to them. oh you can't. they're dead."

"come on phoebe just go to the dentist. you can't live with this pain forever." camila told her as she watched her try to bite into a apple.

"alright fine, fine but if you're my next victim don't come back as a poltergeist who like sucks me into the tv set."
camila shook her head and promised the blonde girl.
"although, don't feel like you can't visit." phoebe added.

"okay, i have a problem. i have to go in to work for a few hours. some kids messed up the homo sapien display." ross said putting down the phone.

"what did they do?" asked joey
"well they painted over the work sapien for one thing. then they rearranged the figures. let's just leave it at that."

"so do you want me to watch ben for you?" monica asked her brother.
"yes thank you that's what i was going to ask."

"woah, wait. hello? what about me?" rachel asked a bit offended her boyfriend didn't ask her first.

"you. you want to watch ben?" ross asked a bit nervous but was reassured by monica gesturing behind rachel that she would be the there and would watch ben.

"yes that'll be great. you know i just asked monica because i know how empty her life is." ross said.

"awe angel and ben have they're first play date!" camila gushed in excitement.

"hey ross i got a science question. if the homo sapiens were in fact, homo sapiens...is that why they're extinct?" joey asked leaving the others completely dumbfounded by his question.

"joey. homo sapiens are people." ross said trying to explain to him.
"hey im not judging. i'm just asking."

camila sat in her apartment with andrew and evangeline. it had been a while since the two old friends met again and they spent every available hour with each other catching up.

"so how has chandler been treating you?" andrew asked his friend.

"uh, good. yea good." she told him a bit reluctantly.

"you hesitated."

"no i didn't." she told him but couldn't look him in the eyes.

"yes you did! what did he do to you?" andrew asked.

"he cheated on me." she reluctantly told him. something she hated is that andrew could get everything out of her no matter how much she didn't want to tell.

"he did what! when ?" he asked in anger.

"before angel was born."

"you're telling me that he cheated on his pregnant girlfriend and was still able to stay?" he questioned confused to why his friend would ever allow that.

"yea well, i kissed joey." she admitted.

"woah and then?"

"well i realized i was in love with joey, and he was with me. but he told me we couldn't be together because chandler and i have a family." she continued admitting.

"no that's bullshit! i think if you love someone and they love you then you should be together. you shouldnt have a relationship with someone just because of a baby. angel is only a few months old she won't even understand that her parents aren't together."

"as much as i wish it was that easy, its most definitely way more complicated. sure i love joey but i also love chandler and he's the father to my baby so there's a different kind of love there. plus you don't know joey like i do and he would never do that to chandler."

"so you're telling me that if joey came down here right now and told you that he loves you and has always loved you, that you are the light of his world and that the time you guys spent so far away from each other was the worst time of his life and that now that he's got you here he will make every second count." andrew said staring at her trying to memorize every detail on her face because there was a feeling inside him that she wasn't going to want anything to do with him after this.

"you better be talking about a hypothetical scenario. because if you're not then you're going to have to leave." she told him standing up from where she was sitting.

"come on camila , we loved each other once too! i moved here to be with you but i didn't expect you to have a family but i can't just sit here and watch without letting you know my feelings."

the two stood there in silence as the phone rang.
"i think you need to go." camila softly told him looking down.

"mila please. i did so much to come be with you." he said trying to grab her hands but she quickly snatched them away.
"i didn't ask you to!"

phoebe then come running in with a phone in her hand and a frantic look.
"okay if you're alive you answer your phone !" she said very upset before running back out.

"get out." was the last thing camila told andrew before he finally grabbed his coat and left.
