THE ONE WITH A SPLIT HEART.
EPISODE TWENTY-THREE.

"And these are my friends," Phoebe started as they all turned to welcome the new guy with a friendly smile. "People, this is Vince. Vince, the people."

It was Chandler who stood to shake Vince's hand as Zara simply just smiled.

"Vince is a fireman," Phoebe told them.

"Wow," said Rachel. "Have you ever rescued anyone from a burning building before?"

"98 hot saves," Vince confessed. "Highest on the force."

"Wow," said Zara. "That's impressive."

"Well, you know," Chandler said. "If Joey and I play with matches, we could get you up to an even 100."

Vince didn't look impressed with that. "Fire safety is not a joke, son."

"Your right, I know," Chandler said.

Zara smiled teasingly at him. "You're gonna cry."

"Am not," Chandler argued.

"Look, I've got to go," Vince announced. "I'm on call tonight." Then, he turned towards Phoebe, offering her a small peck on the lips. "See you Saturday."

"Okay," said Phoebe, grinning.

"Wow, he's cute, Pheebs," Rachel commented after Vince left. "But I thought you just started dating that kindergarten teacher."

"Oh, Jason?" Phoebe realised. "Yeah. Yeah, uh-huh. We're seeing each other tonight."

"Pheebs, what..." Phoebe replied. "Pheebs?! Two dates in one day? That's so unlike you."

"Go on Phoebe," Zara encouraged.

"I know, I know," said Phoebe. "I'm like playing the field, you know. Like juggling two guys. I'm sowing my wild oats, you know. You know, this kind of like, you know, oat-sowing-field-playing juggler."

"So, Pheebs, do they know about each other?" Joey questioned.

"Does a dog's lips move when he reads?" Phoebe replied.

Joey looked towards them, but they were just as confused as he was.

"Okay, no," said Phoebe. "They don't know."

Ross came in then to greet them as Chandler and Joey were quick to disappear. Zara, though, was still caught up in Phoebe dating two people at once.

"I still can't believe it," Zara said.

"Why?" Phoebe replied. "You gave me the idea."

"But I'm not dating them," Zara whispered.

Phoebe winked. "Yet."
