The group of friends were all sitting in Central Perk, drinking their respective favorites, except for Phoebe who was coming back from a date. Maeve's boyfriend, Tate, was also with them.
"Hi guys!", the oldest Buffay walked in the doors.
"Hey Pheebs!"
"Oh how'd it go?", Ross wanted to know.
"Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway, and said, we should do this again sometime.", she replied, bummed out.
"Oh, I'm sorry Phoebe.", Maeve sighed, disappointed for her sister.
Tate frowned, moving a little closer to Maeve to make room for Phoebe on the couch.
"What? He said we should do it again sometime, that's good right?", Rachel asked the group, clearly confused.
"Uh no, loosely translated it means you will never see me naked.", Monica explained, Maeve laughing a little bit at the bluntness of the statement.
"Since when?"
"Since always. It's like dating language. Y'know likes 'it's not you' means 'it is you'", Tate and Chandler both nodded at Joey's statement.
"Or 'you're such a nice guy' means 'I'm gonna be dating leather wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you'.", Chandler chimed in.
"And everybody knows this?"
"Everybody.", Maeve said into her coffee cup, before taking a sip.
"Yeah, cushions the blow.", Joey pointed to Maeve in agreement.
"It's like when you're a kid, and you're parents put you're dog down and then tell you it went to live on some farm.", Chandler spoke up, laughing a little.
"That's funny, no because our parents actually did send our dog off to live on a farm!", Ross laughed.
Maeve and Tate both looked to each other, eyes wide.
"Ross?", Monica and Tate said at the same time.
"What, hello? The farm in Connecticut? The Millners, they had this unbelievable farm. With horses and rabbits and- Oh my God, Chi Chi!", he realized.

Phoebe and Maeve entered Central Perk, as all the others were sitting around the area. Maeve was rubbing a very frantic looking Phoebe's back.
"Y'okay Phoebe?"
Phoebe stuttered for a minute before answering, "It's my bank."
"What did they do to you?", Monica asked, worried.
"It's just my bank, I was going through my mail and I open up their monthly statement, and there's five hundred extra dollars in my account."
"Oh, Satan's minions at work again.", Chandler sighed sarcastically, and Maeve laughed before, realizing her sisters feelings once again.
"Yes cause now I have to go over there and deal with it."
"What are you talking about? Keep it!", Joey exclaimed.
"It's not mine. I didn't earn it. Keeping it would be like stealing it!", she protested.
"It wouldn't be the worst thing Pheebs since I lost my job.", Maeve tried to reason, but was only met with her sisters head shaking.
"Okay, I'd just never be able to enjoy it. It'd be like this giant karmic debt.", she finished.
The friends noticed Chandler leaning over his armchair, and Monica pulled him up.
"Hey what are you doing?"
He shrugs, but then blows out a ton of smoke. The group coughs and yells in protest.
