OH! DARLING | joey tribbiani

"Okay, what is it about me?" Chandler barged in Monica and Rachel's apartment where everyone was hanging out, eating cookies the brunette had made. "Do I not look fun enough? Is there something repellent about me?"

"What even are you on about?" Quinn asked him but her question was overshadowed by Ross'.

"So, how was the party?"

"Well, it couldn't have been worse!" Chandler complained. "A woman literally passed through me. Okay, so what is it? Am I hideously unattractive?"

"Now you know that's not true, you're a charming young man," Quinn tried to reassure her friend.

Chandler glared at her before chuckling. "Alright Grandma," he dismissed her compliment, making the girl cross her arms over her chest and pout at him.

"No, she's right. You are very attractive," Phoebe agreed with the redhead. "You know what, I go through the exact same thing. Every time I put on a little weight, I start questioning everything."

Chandler's eyebrows rose up to his hairline in surprise. "Whoa, whoa, I've... I've put on a little weight?" He asked his friends.

Joey, Ross and Colin pretended like they had to get something from the kitchen to avoid being part of the conversation, leaving the girls to deal with Chandler's insecurities.

"No, not weight, you know, more like insulation," Phoebe tried to right her wrong  but the damage was already done.

Monica quickly jumped in. "Chandler, I'm unemployed and in dire need of a project, you want to work out? I-I can remake you."

"Uh, you know, I would but that might get in the way of my lying around time," Chandler tried to turn down her suggestion.

"Please!" Monica begged.

"Come on!" "Let her do it!" Their friends encouraged him.

"Alright, okay, alright," Chandler caved in. "But if we put on spandex and my boobs are bigger than yours, I'm going home."

"Then thank God you're not doing this with me," Quinn joked about her rather small chest. She had struggled with the size of her boobs when she was a teenager but once she turned 20 she realised how advantageous having really small breasts was. She now loved her boobs and embraced their size, even considered it a blessing.

"Your boobs are fine," Phoebe told Chandler. "Look, I never should've said anything. Come here, come here," she beckoned him over for a hug.

Chandler gave in and wrapped his arms around his friend in an embrace, only for the blonde to joke, making her arms stiff as she said, "Can't... make... hands... meet."

Quinn was enjoying a warm cup of raspberry tea at Central Perk after work, accompanied by Joey and Phoebe. Her period was right around the corner and the herbal concoction was the best way to prepare for the painful cramps she was about to experience soon.

"So, I figured it out," Phoebe said as she walked from the counter with her's and Joey's orders, sitting down next to Quinn on the couch.

"What?" Joey asked his friend.

"Why Scott doesn't want to sleep with me. It's 'cause I'm not sexy enough."

"Oh, Phoebe, that's crazy."

Quinn almost choked on her sip of tea. "Now Pheebs you and I both know that is completely false," she denied.

"When I first met you, you know what I said to Chandler?" Joey asked the blonde, who shook her head no, prompting him to continue. "I said 'Excellent butt, great rack,."
