Stunning Smile

The One With The Thumb

Central Perk, everyone but Phoebe is there. Monica, Chandler and Sophiia are sat on the sofa. Joey and Ross on the chairs. Sophiia is sitting next to Chandler with her legs on his lap.

"Hi guys!" said Phoebe while entering.

"Hey, Pheebs! Hi!" they all said

"Hey. Oh, oh, how'd it go?" asked Ross.
"Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway and said 'We should do this again!'" she answered.

"Ohh. Ouch." they all said.
"Oh, I'm sorry honey." comforted Sophiia.
"What? He said 'we should do it again', that's good, right?" questioned Rach.

"Uh, no. Loosely translated 'We should do this again' means 'You will never see me naked'." answered Monica.
"Since when?" she asked.
"Since always. It's like dating language. Y'know, like 'It's not you' means 'It is you'." Joe said.

"Or 'You're such a nice guy' means 'I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you'." said Chandler earning a side hug from Soph.
"Ah, also 'I had a really great time' means 'I was actually hoping to see you naked.'" said the brunette next to him.
"Or, or, y'know, um, 'I think we should see other people' means 'Ha, ha, I already am'." continued Pheebs.

"And everybody knows this?" asked Rach.
"Yeah. Cushions the blow." answered Joey.
"Yeah, it's like when you're a kid, and your parents put your dog to sleep, and they tell you it went off to live on some farm." Chandler said.

"That's funny, that, no, because, uh, our parents actually did, uh, send our dog off to live on a farm." Ross said.

....

"Uh, Ross?" Soph questioned.

"What? Wh- hello? The Millners' farm in Connecticut? The Millners, they had this unbelievable farm, they had horses, and, and rabbits that he could chase and it was- it w- .....Oh my God, Chi Chi!" he said.

Chandler and Joey's, Chandler is helping Joey rehearse for a part. Sophiia sitting on the counter watching.

"So how does it feel knowing you're about to die?" said Chandler while helping Joey.
"Warden, in five minutes my pain will be over. But you'll have to live with the knowledge that you sent an honest man to die." he answered.

"Hey, that was really good!" said Chandler looking at his friend proudly.
"Thanks! Let's keep going."

"So. Whaddya want from me, Damone, huh?"
"I just wanna go back to my cell. 'Cause in my cell, I can smoke."
"Smoke away."

Joey takes out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He fumbles and drops the lighter. Then he lights a cigarett, takes a drag, and coughs.

"I think this is probably why Damone smokes in his cell alone." commented the brunet. Sophiia chuckled softly.

"What?" Joey asked.
"Relax your hand!" Sophiia said.
"Let your wrist go." said Chandler

Joey lets his wrist go limp.

"Not so much!" Chandler yelled.

"Whoah!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Sophiia laughed at the interaction the two best friends had.

"Alright, now try taking a puff." continued Chandler.
Joey tries and visibly winces.
"Alright.. okay. No. Give it to me." commanded the brunet.

"No no no, I am not giving you a cigarette." said Joey causing Soph to sit there with a confused expression.

"Why not?" she asked
"I used to smoke but not anymore." he said with a smile.
