Author's Note: I am SO sorry for the long update. I have no excuses other than there was a lack of motivation and inspiration to write this story for a while and I had writer's block. But I will still try my best to continue this story. So don't worry, just have patience. :)

Much to Joey's annoyance, his daughter was badly singing a Madonna song as she listened to it with her walkman that her mother gave to her as a gift a couple of months ago. They were close to the coffee shop they regularly go to.
Joey stopped his daughter from singing and dancing on the sidewalk so she wouldn't pass Central Perk by accident. "Hey, Olivia, we're here. Why don't you just take a break from that, okay?"
"Fine..." Olivia grumbled, rolling her eyes and turned her walkman off and pulled the headphones out of her ears as they entered the cafe where they were greeted by her father's friends who sat at their usual spots.
"Hey, Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?" Monica randomly asked who was sitting on the armchair looking at him.
"Probably kill myself." Joey replied dreadfully.
"Excuse me?" She asked, being confused but with an amused smile on her face since he obviously didn't know what the word meant.
"Hey, if Little Joey's dead, then I got no reason to live!" He continued dramatically.
"Uh, Dad? I don't think that's what the word you think it means." Olivia tried to explained to him, having heard of the word before while she was in school and was in English class studying about vocabulary. But Joey just gave her a confused look.
"She's right, Joey," Ross pointed out who was sitting on the other chair with his newspaper in hand. "It's omnipotent."
"You are? Ross, I'm sorry..." Joey pitied him as he sat on the arm of the couch while Olivia sat in between him and Chandler.
Ross just rolled his eyes and shook his head, throwing the newspaper onto the coffee table and got up to walk away.
"Daddy, omnipotent means having unlimited power like being a 'God' or something like that," Olivia chuckled at her father's misunderstanding and Ross's reaction. "Like if I were omnipotent for a day, I'd totally end homework forever!" She added, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Ah, now that's more like it!" Joey exclaimed, slapping his thigh and grinning at his daughter's idea.

"...Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven. See, I told you! Less than a hundred steps from our place to here." Joey entered Central Perk with his daughter and Chandler in tow.
"You got way too much free time man." Chandler teased.
"No, he doesn't. That's where I come in to bug and annoy him." Olivia smirked, and sat down on the other chair while her father sat in between Ross and Phoebe on the couch as Chandler was just casually standing up.
"Hey! Here's the birthday boy! Ross, check it out: hockey tickets, Rangers-Penguins, tonight at the Garden, and we're taking you." Joey grinned, giving Ross the three tickets.
"Happy birthday, pal!" Chandler celebrated.
"We love you, man!" Joey kissed Ross's cheek.
"Funny, my birthday was seven months ago..." Ross replied with a smirk, taking the tickets from Joey and examining them.
"I told you..." Olivia whispered to Joey, smirking at his failed attempt to surprise Ross.
"So...?" Joey responded to Ross's smirk, his own smile had quickly faded.
