Joey opened the door to Mr. Heckles old apartment to find Chandler sitting on the old couch with a bunch of old photos thrown around him. Joey walked in and looked at his roommate and felt his heart pound faster in his chest, he was surprised Chandler didn't hear it. Joey would never say it but he was in love with Chandler.

"Have you been here all night?" Joey asked, but he knew the answer already. Chandler hadn't come back to the apartment last night, meaning he had spent the night in Mr. Heckles.

"Look at this! There are all women Heckles broke up with! Too smart! Big gums! Too tall!" Chandler said pulling Joey over to look at the pictures. "This is going to be me! I am going to end up just like him! Our trains are on the same track, true I am coming up thirty years behind but the stops are the same. Bitter Town. Laneville. Hermit Junction! I am going to be all alone!"

"You're not going to end up alone/" Joey said looking into Chandler's stark blue eyes. Joey wanted to say 'Because you'll be with me' but bit his tongue.

"How do you know that?" Chandler asked looking into Joey's soft brown eyes.

"I don't, I was just trying to cheer you up. Come one let's get breakfast." Joey said with his corny grin, clapping Chandler on the shoulder. Chandler sighed and walked out of the apartment with Joey trailing behind him.

Joey started to unlock the apartment door when they reached it when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked over and saw his mom and dad standing there.

"Ma! Pa! What are you doing here?" Joey asked as he and Chandler walked into the apartment.

"We thought we would come by and see our baby boy." Joey's mom said pinching his cheek.

"Yeah, their baby boy." Chandler said mimicking his mother's tone and pinching Joey's other cheek. Joey glared at Chandler, who gave him his adorable half smirk, sending Joey's heart into an even faster beat.

"Hello Chandler." Joey's mom said releasing his cheek and giving Chandler a hug.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Tribbiani. How are you?" Chandler asked as Joey pointed to the door, showing he was going across the hall. Chandler nodded as he half listened to Mrs. Tribbiani talk about her hip.

Joey snuck out of the apartment and walked across the hall to Monica and Rachael's. He opened the door and stepped inside just as he heard Rachel say Monica was going to have to eat the other lamps while Phoebe and Ross sat at the table by the TV set.

""What?" Is all Joey had to say when he heard the last comment.

'Oh, hey Joey. What's up?" Monica said as Joey walked over and plopped down on the couch.

"Just really stressed. And what was this I heard about eating lamps?" Joey said as Monica sat in her chair.

"Ignore that. What are you stressed about?" Rachel asked putting down her magazine. Joey sighed and shook his head because he really didn't want to go into it. "Joey?"

"Have you ever been so in love with someone you know so well, they were like your best friend, but you didn't know how to tell them?" Joey asked looking up at the ceiling.

"Are you talking about Chandler?" Phoebe asked looking over at Joey. Joey shot his head up and looked at her, shock forming his features.

"Oh come on, the only one who doesn't know how obvious it is, is Chandler." Ross said flipping through a magazine on the table.
