Quinn was sitting on the couch between Chandler and Joey as the gang had gathered at Monica and Rachel's apartment to watch the latest Days Of Our Lives episode together.

"I'm sorry Amber," Drake Ramoray said as he hugged the woman on the screen. "It's just like Brad to have to have the last word."

Ross came running in then. "I'm sorry I'm late. What happened?" He asked as he came to a stop behind the couch.

"We just wanna see the end," Monica shushed her brother.

"I want you Drake," the girl, Amber, said.

"I know you do, but you and I can never be together that way," Drake told her.

"What?"

"There's something I never told you Amber. I'm actually your half-brother."

The gang all gasped in shock while Joey chuckled at their reaction to the plot twist.

Amber removed her hands from Drake's hold in disgust before the screen faded to black, marking the end of the scene.

"So what happens next?" Rachel asked the actor, turning around from where she sat on the floor to face him.

"Well, I get the medical award for separating the Siamese twins," Joey started listing on his fingers. "Then Amber and I go to Venezuela to meet our other half-brother, Ramon, and that's where I find the world's biggest emerald. It's really big, but it's cursed."

His friends all gasped again at the revelations.

"God that is good tv," Chandler said in amazement.

"And to think our best friend is the star of it," Quinn added, patting Joey's chest with her hand as she looked at him with adoration in her eyes.

"Well I'm not the star of the show..." Joey shyly downplayed her praise.

"Just take the compliment you doofus," the redhead chuckled.

"I need a break from Eddie," Chandler barged in Quinn's apartment.

"Hi Chandler," the redhead said, not bothering to lift her head away from her film strips on her working desk in the living room.

"The man is just too much, he's too... intense," Chandler continued venting as he took a seat on her emerald couch.

"What happened?" Quinn asked him, writing down the pictures from the shoot that she was going to send to the magazine editors to choose from for the next issue.

"His ex-girlfriend came over to drop his fish tank, we chatted for not even a minute about him before he came back from wherever he was and the minute she was gone he accused me of sleeping with her!" Chandler cried out.

Finally done with her work, Quinn removed her glasses (that she ought to start wearing more often but she couldn't bother) and turned in her seat to face Chandler. "Well, did you?"

"No! I'm not Joey!" He quickly defended himself. "Not that he'd do that now but you know how he used to be."

"Yeah I get what you mean," Quinn said. "That's a pretty insane conclusion to jump to, I won't lie."

"That's what I mean!" Chandler jumped up, getting caught up in the heat of the moment. He sat back down, now criss-crossed applesauce on the couch, and hung his head low.

Quinn could feel the dejection emanating from her friend and joined him on her couch, grabbing his hand in comfort. "You miss Joey, do you?"

"More than I thought I would," he sighed out.
