Joeys Date Goes Wrong

Joey sadly walked downstairs to meet Chandler playing with the Turtle. He had just broke up with Sarah well for... reasons. He sat down and sighed. "What's wrong Joe?" 

"I just broke up with Sarah." Chandler paused playing and told Joey it was going to be okay. "But why? You guys were perfect for each other. Messy, careless." Joey shrugged and said, "Yeah but, she was a little too messy. She had roaches crawling around. And I almost killed her hamster when I stepped on a bag of chips he was in. It was terrible, she was so devasted." Chandler was suprised, he never thought someone would be too messy for him. 

"The good news is, I found myself a date" he said happily. Chandler frowned. "That fast? Wow, woman just come running after you don't they?" They played with the turtle the whole time while Monica was at work. 

Joey got all dressed up for his date to come to the house for the night. He fed the turtle food when he heard a knock on the door. That must be her. He forgot about the turtle and placed him in a pitcher of water and closed the lid. He opened the door for his date named Anne. They hugged and he lead her to the kitchen where they chatted for a while. He offered her a glass of water and she accepted the offer. He lifted the pitcher and found it rather heavy. He poured the pitcher and out came the turtle and water all in one! 

He gave the cup to Anne without noticing the turtle swimming around. Joey had to make a quick run to the restroom. Anne slowly drank, she noticed the water tasted a little salty and bitter but kept drinking. She looked into her cup and to her horror she saw a small turtle waddling around. She threw the cup in the air in terror and let out a shriek. Joey came in running, with his zipper down and noticed what was wrong. 

He scooped up the turtle and placed it on the counter. Anne was drenched in water, she looked furious. Joey tried not to laugh, but she looked so silly he managed a small giggle. She gasped and snarled, "Is this a sick joke to you? Is this a prank?" Joey wiped a tear and said, "oh I'm so sorry I'm babysitting the turtle for a friend." 

"Ugh I hate turtles." Joey scolded the turtle, "Bad turtle! Don't you ever try to impress my lady friends because it isn't gonna work!" He patted his small head and plopped him down into his tank. Anne stomped out the house. Joey didn't care a single bit.
