"Guys! Guess what!" Ross excitedly cried as he ran into Central Perk.

"What?" Joey asked.

"The cousins are coming!" Ross smiled.

"The cousins are coming?" Monica grinned.

"What, opposed to the British?" Chandler asked and Ella, who was sat in between Jake's legs as he sat on the floor, leaning against the armchair, threw one of the armchair pillows at him to try and shut him up before Ross sat there.

"How long are they staying for?" Jake asked his brother.

"Until the end of the school year, they're part of your school's exchange programme." Ross replied.

"The cousins were our neighbours when we were growing up, as well as being our actual cousins, they moved to Canada a few years ago, Alex and Jenny Thompson," Monica explained, "They're on our mother's side of the family." She continued and Ella looked up at Jake with a confused look on her face.

"How many of there are you?" She asked him and he just laughed, wrapping his arms tighter around her.

"Hi, are you Jenny?" Ella asked the blonde as she walked into the school's office.

"Uh, yeah." The girl answered as she stood up, grabbing her school bag as she did so.

"Great, I'm Ella and I'll be your tour guide thing for today?" Ella told her, "Wow, that was so cheesy." She realised before she and her best friend's cousin started walking down the halls.

"Thanks for agreeing to do this by the way," The girl said, "The person I'm staying with for the exchange has band practice, so, Alex decided to go here early with him and our cousin and I decided to stay here." She explained.

"You're cousin's Jake, right?" Ella asked.

"Yeah, how did you know that?" Jenny asked as they made their way to her new locker.

"Oh, uh, he's kind of my best friend." Ella brushed off as she looked at the combination to the locker on her new friend's schedule, opening it for her.

"Oh, so, you're Ella Buffay." Jenny realised, understanding who it was Jake would not shut up about in the phone calls they would have.

"Uh, yeah," Ella muttered before the two made their way to Communications Class, "Greetings young one," Ella said as she walked into the classroom, immediately locating Jake and going over to him, Jenny in tow.

"You're only five months older than me." The boy groaned as he turned around from talking to his other cousin.

Ella smirked at at her best friend and sat on his desk, "Just thought you may want a reminder."

"Anyway, Ella, this my other cousin, Alex." Jake introduced and Ella smiled at the boy, giving him a small wave.

"Hi." She smiled.

"Hi. He smiled back.

"By the way, this class may be Geometry, but Mrs O'Leary will just spend the whole time showing us slideshows if her cats." Ella warned the siblings.

"Brilliant," Alex chuckled, "Another cat lady. My own kind.

"To be fair, cats are adorable." Jake shrugged.

"But digs are better." Ella countered.

"Ooh, tension in the court." Jenny joked, making the other three Juniors chuckle.

That was when, Mrs O'Leary walked in and everyone scrambled to sit in their seats, making all conversations come to a halt.

"Alright, Phoebe?" Monica asked as the group, minus Joey, were sitting in Central Perk.

"Okay, okay. If I were omnipotent for a day, I would want, um, world peace, no more hunger, good things for the rain-forest...And bigger boobs!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"Yeah, see.. you took mine,. Ross said sarcastically.

"Chandler, what about you?" Jake asked. 

"Uh, if I were omnipotent for a day, I'd.. make myself omnipotent forever," Chandler shrugged and Rachel scoffed from where she was standing with Ella, as they were both on their shift.

"See, there's always one guy." She said before Ella mocked the man.

"If I had a wish, I'd wish for three more wishes." 

As they both walked behind the counter as Joey entered. 

"Hey Joey."

"Hi."

"Hey, buddy." The guys all greeted as the Italian entered the coffee shop.

"Hey, Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?" Monica asked as Ella took her apron off and Jake put his coat on, handing the blonde hers as they were going out to meet Alex and Jenny.

"Probably kill myself!" Joey exclaimed.

"..Excuse me?" Ella asked as she stood by Jake, putting her coat on.

"Hey, if Little Joey's dead, then I got no reason to live!" He tried to defend himself.

"Joey, uh- Omnipotent." Ross tried to explain.

"You are? Ross, I'm sorry.." Joey said, misreading the situation as Jake and Ella both exited the coffee shop, laughing to themselves at Joey's usual antics.

Jenny and Ella were sat in Central Perk as they, Ross and Monica were watching Phoebe sleep.

"How does she do that?" Jenny asked them.

"I cannot sleep in a public place." Ross said, also mesmerized by the Buffay's sleeping abilities.

"Would you look at her? She is so peaceful," Monica said as she leaned closer to her friend before Phoebe started waking up and startling them.

"Oh! What what what! ...Hi." Phoebe spluttered out. 

"It's okay, y'know, you just nodded off again." Ross told her.

"What's going on with you?" Monica inquired.

"I got no sleep last night!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"Why not?" Jenny asked.

"Our grandmother has this new boyfriend, and they're both kind of insecure in bed. Oh, and deaf. So they're constantly, like, having to reassure each other that they're having a good time," Phoebe explained before crying, "You have no idea how loud they are!" 

"Well, if you want, you can stay with me, Monica and Rachel tonight." Ella offered, Monica nodding in agreement.

"Thanks." Phoebe said before Ella excitedly turned to Jenny.

"Ooh! Maybe you could come too." She cried and Monica nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we could make it into, like, a girls night in!" She exclaimed and Jenny thought about it before nodding.

"Yeah, alright."

Chandler, Jake, Alex and Joey then entered, Joey counting his steps.

"...Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven. See, I told you! Less than a hundred steps from our place to here," Joey exclaimed to the guys.

"You got waaaay too much free time, Dude." Jake told him before Joey and Chandler jumped next to Ross, Joey saying.

"Hey! Here's the birthday boy! Ross, check it out: hockey tickets, Rangers-Penguins, tonight at the Garden, and we're taking you." He said, holding up five hockey tickets for the palaeontologist to see.

"Happy birthday, pal!" Chandler said.

"We love you, man." Joey added, kissing Ross' cheek.

"Funny, my birthday was seven months ago." Ross said.

"So?" Joey asked.

"So, I'm guessing you had an extra ticket and couldn't decide which one of you got to bring a date?" Ross asked the four guys, directing his question at Joey and Chandler.

"Well, aren't we Mr. 'The glass is half empty'." Chandler commented as Ross looked over the tickets. 

"Oh my God, oh- is today the twentieth, October twentieth?" Ross asked and Jake groaned from behind Ella.

"Oh, I was hoping you wouldn't remember." Monica said.

"Ohhh." Ross groaned.

"What's wrong with the twentieth?" Jenny asked.

"Eleven days before Halloween.. all the good costumes are gone?" Chandler asked, clearly confused.

"Today's the day Carol and I first.. consummated our physical relationship," Ross explained and Joey gave him a puzzled look, "Sex. ..You know what, I-I'd better pass on the game. I think I'm just gonna go home and think about my ex-wife and her lesbian lover." Ross said.

"The hell with hockey, let's all do that!" Joey cried.

"C'mon, Ross! You, me, Joey, Jake and Alex ice, guys' night out, c'mon, Whaddya say, big guy?" Chandler exclaimed, trying to stop Ross from leaving as he started pretending to punch him in the stomach, "Huh? Huh? Huh?" He cried.

"What are you doing?" Ross asked him, making Chandler stop pretending to punch him.

"I have no idea." Chandler cried. 

"C'mon, Ross!" Alex got back to the situation at hand.

"Alright, alright, maybe it'll take my mind off it. Do you promise to buy me a big thumb finger?" Ross asked and the guys all nodded.

"You got it." Chandler told him before Rachel ran up to the group, clutching an envelope.

"Look-look-look-look-look, my first pay check! Look at the window, there's my name! Hi, me!" She squealed, excitedly.

"I remember the day I got my first pay check. There was a cave in in one of the mines, and eight people were killed." Phoebe explained.

"Wow, you worked in a mine?" Jenny asked.

"I worked in a Dairy Queen, why?" Phoebe told them.

"God, isn't this exciting? I earned this. I wiped tables for it, I steamed milk for it, and it was totally—" Rachel looked at the envelope.

"Prepare for impact." Ella muttered to Jake, Alex and Jenny - who were all surrounding her - as Rachel opened the envelope.

"—not worth it. Who's FICA? Why's he getting all my money? I mean, what- Chandler, look at that." Rachel said.

"Oh, this is not that bad." Chandler told her, looking at the cheque as it got passed around the group, all voicing their thoughts one by one.

"Oh, you're fine, yeah, for a first job." - Joey.

"You can totally, totally live on this." - Ross.

"Yeah, this will get you places." - Jenny.

"Absolutely fine." - Jake.

"Yeah, yeah." - Monica.

The group just stood there in silence for a little bit before Ella spoke up, "Oh, by the way, great service tonight." She told her.

"Oh! Yeah!" The group all agreed as they got their wallets out and gave the girl generous tips.

"Hockey!" The guys all cried, remembering the reason they even entered the coffee shop in the first place. They went to leave but are blocked by three of Rachel's friends, Leslie, Kiki, and Joanne. The older guys pause to stare at them before snapping out of their stupor, "Hockey! Hockey," They all cried again and exit the coffee shop, Jake slapping his older brother over the head.

"Rachel?" Leslie asked after looking around for a little while.

"Oh my God!" Rachel, Leslie, Kiki, and Joanne all screamed, hugging each other.

"I swear I've seen birds do this on Wild Kingdom." Monica told Phoebe, Ella and Jenny.

"What are you guys doing here?" Rachel asked them.

"Well, we were in the city shopping, and your mom said you work here, aaand it's true!" Kiki said in disdain. 

"Look at you in the apron. You look like you're in a play." Joanne told her before Rachel turned to a pregnant Leslie.

"Look at you, you are so big I can't believe it!" She admired.

"I know. I know! I'm a duplex." Leslie laughed.

"So what's going on with you?" Rachel asked Joanne.

"Well, guess who my dad's making partner in his firm?" She asked before pointing to herself and they all screamed again.

"And while we're on the subject of news.." Kiki held up her finger to show off her engagement ring and they all screamed again and Ella turned to Phoebe, Monica and Jenny.

"Look, look, I have elbows!" She mockingly cried to them and they screamed.

In the street, Chandler, Jake, Alex and Joey were kicking a can to each other.

"...Poulet passes it up to Leetch!" Chandler cried, passing the can to Joey.

"Leetch spots Messier in the crease- there's the pass!" Joey cried, as he kicked it to Ross, but Ross was staring into a shop window.

"We'll take a brief time out while Messier stops to look at some women's shoes." Chandler imitated as the others all stopped and looked at Ross.

"Carol was wearing boots just like those the night that we- we first- y'know. Fact, she, uh- she never took 'em off, 'cause we-we-" Ross spluttered before seeing Chandler's look.

"Sorry. Sorry." He apologised.

The five walked on and Chandler, Jake, Alex and Joey started to talk but Ross stopped and whined.

"What?" Jake asked, growing aggravated.

"Peach pit." Ross said.

"Yes, Bunny?" Chandler jokingly asked.

Ross pointed at the object on the sidewalk, "Peach pit. That night we, uh- we had-"

"-Peaches?" Alex guessed, slightly grossed out by the conversation.

"Actually, nectarines, but basically..." Ross trailed off and Chandler leaned over to Jake, Alex and Joey.

"Could've been a peach." He muttered.

"Then, uh, then we got dressed, and I-I... I walked her to the-" Ross looked up, realised, and pointed, "-the bus stop... I'm fine." He said.

"Hey, that woman's got an ass like Carol's!" Joey cried, pointing to a woman that passed by and his friends turned to stare at him, "What? Thought we were trying to find stuff."


***


In Ella, Monica and Rachel's apartment, Phoebe, Ella, Monica and Jenny were in pyjamas and Monica was making something in the blender as Rachel entered.

"Hey, Rach. How was it with your friends?" Monica asked and she, Phoebe, Ella and screamed, "Okay! How would you like some Tiki Death Punch?" Monica asked as she poured the contents of the blender into some glasses. 

"What's that?" Rachel asked.

"Weeeell, it's rum, and-"

"Okay." Rachel cut Monica off by grabbing the blender, starting to drink the contents from it.

"We thought since Phoebe and Jenny are staying over tonight we'd have kinda like a slumber party thing. We got some trashy magazines, we got cookie dough, we got Twister..." Monica trailed off as the phone rang and Monica answered it.

"Ooh! Ooh! And I brought Operation! But, um, I lost the tweezers, so we can't operate." Phoebe shrugged as Ella's eyes lit up.

"But we can prep the guy!" She cried, excitedly, Phoebe pointing at her with a grin of agreement.

"Uh, Rach, it's the Visa card people." Monica told her friend.

"Oh, God, ask them what they want." Rachel instructed.

"Could you please tell me what this is in reference to?" Monica asked, "...Yes, hold on," Turning to Rachel, she said, "Um, they say there's been some unusual activity on your account."

"But I haven't used my card in weeks!" Rachel exclaimed.

"That is the unusual activity. Look, they just wanna see if you're okay." Monica told her.

"They wanna know if I'm okay. Okay.. they wanna know if I'm okay, okay, let's see. Well, let's see, the FICA guys took all my money, everyone I know is either getting married, or getting promoted, or getting pregnant, and I'm getting coffee! And it's not even for me! So if that sounds like I'm okay, okay, then you can tell them I'm okay, okay?" Rachel hysterically cried.

Monica paused on the phone before saying, "Uh- Rachel has left the building, can you call back?" And then hung up the phone.

"Alright, c'mon!" Rachel miserably exclaimed, "Let's play Twister!"

***

In Madison Square Garden, the guys were trying to find their seats.

Squeezing past people, Ross said, "Sorry, sorry... Uh-oh."

"What? There was ice there that night with Carol? Plastic seats? Four thousand angry Pittsburgh fans?" Chandler asked.

"No, actually I was just saying it looks like we're not sitting together. But now you mention it, there was ice there that night... It was the first frost..." Ross trailed off.

"C'mon, sit. Just sit down, sit." Jake told him as he, Joey and Chandler took the seats behind the row they were standing on and Ross and Alex took the seats in front of the three.

***

In, Ella, Monica and Rachel's apartment, the girls were all hanging out in the living room.

"You should feel great about yourself! You're doing this amazing independence thing!" Ella told the brunette.

"Ella, what is so amazing? I gave up, like, everything. And for what?" Rachel asked.

"You are just like Jack." Phoebe told her.

"...Jack from downstairs?" Rachel asked.

"No, Jack and the Beanstalk." Phoebe corrected.

"Ah." Jenny nodded as Monica looked at her.

"The other Jack." The middle Geller child said.

"Yeah, right!" Phoebe cried, "See, he gave up something, but then he got those magic beans. And then he woke up, and there was this, this big plant outside his window, full of possibilities and stuff..." She trailed off and Ella nodded along, "And he lived in a village, and you live in the Village..." The eldest Buffay compared.

"Okay, but Pheebs, Jack gave up a cow, I gave up an orthodontist. Okay, I-I-I know, I know I didn't love him-" Rachel said but was interrupted by Ella, who looked at Phoebe.

"Oh, see, Jack did love the cow." Ella nodded.

"But see, it was a plan. Y'know, it was clear. It was figured out, and now everything's just kinda like..." Rachel trailed off, trying to find the right words.

"Floopy?" Phoebe suggested.

"Yeah." Rachel shrugged.

"So what, you're not the only one. I mean, half the time we don't know where we're going. You've just gotta figure at some point it's all gonna come together, and it's just gonna be... un-floopy." Monica shrugged.

"Oh, like that's a word." Phoebe scoffed.

"Okay, but Monica, what if- what if it doesn't come together?" Rachel asked and Monica looked at Jenny, who turned to Ella, who then turned to her sister.

"...Pheebs?" The youngest Buffay asked.

"Oh, well... 'cause.... you just... I don't like this question." Phoebe spluttered.

"Okay, see, see, you guys, what if we don't get magic beans? I mean, what if all we've got are.. beans?" Rachel asked.

***

"Get him! Get him! Get him! GET HIM! Get him! Get- YESSS! Not laughing now, are ya pal!" Ross shouted at the players on the ice.

"See buddy, that's all you need, a bunch of toothless guys hitting each other with sticks." Alex told him.

"Pass it! Pass it!" Ross cried.

"He's open!" Chandler exclaimed.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" All five guys exclaimed.

The player shot and the puck flew off the rink and hit Ross in the face.

Chandler looked concerned until he noticed, "Hey, look, we're on that TV thing!" He pointed and as Ross held his nose in pain, Chandler, Jake, Alex and Joey held up the puck and waved at the TV thing.

***

"'Scuse me." Chandler said to the receptionist as he, Jake, Alex and Joey brought Ross into the emergency room.

The receptionist held up her hand as she spoke into the phone, "It says to call this number if you're not completely satisfied with this candy bar. Well, I'm not completely satisfied." She said into the phone.

"Listen, it's kind of an emergency. Well, I guess you know that, or we'd be in the predicament room." Chandler chuckled, but stopped when the receptionist glared at him. 

"Hold on," The woman said into the phone before turning to Chandler, "Fill these out, sit over there." She instructed, tossing him some forms.

Jumping to his feet, Ross exclaimed, "Look, I don't wanna make any trouble, okay, but I'm in a lot of pain here, alright? My face is dented."

"Well, you'll have to wait your turn," The Receptionist told him.

"Well, how long do you think it'll be?" Joey asked.

"Any minute now," The Receptionist sarcastically chuckled to herself.

"Hey, this-" Ross started but The Receptionist gave him a look and the guys all backed off.

"Heyy..." They all muttered.

***

"I'm so sorry, you guys. I didn't mean to bring you down." Rachel apologised to her friends as they lay around the apartment.

"No, you were right. I don't have a plan," Monica cried as there was a knock on the door.

"Pizza guy!" The person who knocked called from outside.

"Thank God. Food," Rachel said as she went to go answer the door. 

"Phoebe?" Jenny asked.

"What?" The blonde asked.

"Do you have a plan?" The teenager asked.

"I don't even have a 'pl'," Phoebe told her.

"Hi, one, uh, mushroom, green pepper and onion?" The Pizza Guy asked.

"No, no, that's not what we ordered... We ordered a fat-free crust with extra cheese." Rachel miserably groaned.

"Wait, you're not 'G. Stephanopoulos?' Man, my dad's gonna kill me!" The Pizza Guy groaned.

At the sound of this, Monica leapt off of the couch and ran over to the door, "Wait! Did you say 'G. Stephanopoulos?'" She asked. 

"Yeah. This one goes across the street, I must have given him yours. Oh, bonehead, bonehead!" The Pizza Guy exclaimed.

"Wait, was this a-a small Mediterranean guy with curiously intelligent good looks?" Monica asked him.

"Yeah, that sounds about right," The Pizza Guy nodded.

"Was he wearing a stunning blue suit?" Jenny added.

"And-and a power tie?" Phoebe asked.

"No, pretty much just a towel." The Pizza Guy shook his head.

"Oh God." Jenny Monica staggered. 

"So you guys want me to take this back?" The Pizza Guy asked.

"Are you nuts?! We've got George Stephanopoulos' pizza!" Monica cried as Rachel payed the Pizza Guy and Monica grabbed some binoculars, and ran to the window.

"Uh, Pheebs? Who's George Snuffalopagus?" Rachel asked.

"Big Bird's friend," Phoebe laughed.

"I see pizza!" Monica cried.

"Oh, I wanna see! Lemme see! Lemme see!" Phoebe cried as she, Ella and Jenny ran up and took the binoculars off of Monica. 

"Hello? Who are we spying on?" Rachel asked.

"White House adviser?" Jenny said, "Clinton's campaign guy?" She elaborated.

"The one with the great hair, sexy smile, really cute butt?" Monica finished.

"Oh, him, the little guy? Oh, I love him!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Ooh, wait.. wait, I see a woman." Phoebe cried, looking through the binoculars.

"Please tell me it's his mother." Monica begged as Jenny took the binoculars off of Phoebe.

"Definitely not his mother." Ella breathed out.

"Oh, no..." Monica whined as Phoebe took the binoculars back off of Jenny.

"Oh, wait, she's walking across the floor.. she's walking.. she's walking.. she's going for the pizza- Hey, that's not for you, bitch!" Phoebe yelled, and after realising what she said, Phoebe covered her mouth with her hand walked away from the window.

***

In the Emergency Room, Joey was miming hockey pucks hitting foreheads. Chandler realised it was getting late and went up to the receptionist again.

"Excuse me, look, we've been here for over an hour, and a lot of people less sick than my friend have gone in. I mean, that guy with the toe thing? Who's he sleeping with?" In response, The Receptionist slid the glass panel over and Chandler talked through it in a loud voice, "Oh, c'mon Dora, don't be mad... I know we both said some things we didn't mean, but that doesn't mean we still don't love each other," Turning to the waiting room, he said, "Y'know, I feel like I've lost her.." The Receptionist slid the panel back, Chandler turned, and it took him by surprise, "Ba-!"

***

At Monica, Ella and Rachel's, the girls were all out on the balcony.

"Light still out?" Monica asked.

"Yeah." Rachel answered.

"Oh. Maybe they're- napping." Monica pathetically suggested.

"Oh please, they're having sex." Rachel said.

"Shut up!" Monica, Ella, Jenny and Phoebe cried and the two teenagers sitting on the floor rolled their eyes.

"So, whaddya think George is like?" Rachel asked.

"I think he's shy." Monica mused.

"Yeah?" Phoebe, Ella and Jenny asked.

"Yeah. I think you have to draw him out. And then- when you do- he's a preppy animal." Monica exclaimed and the girls all squealed in excitement.

***

In the Emergency Room, Ross was still going on about his first night with Carol, "I remember the moonlight coming through the window- and her face had the most incredible glow." He said.

"Yes, the moon, the glow, the magical feeling, you did this part- Could I get some painkillers over here, please?" Chandler shouted.

"He's right, enough, already. What is the big deal about today? So you slept with her for the first time, so what? You slept with her for seven years after that." Jake said.

"Look, it's just a little more complicated..." Ross trailed off.

"Well, what? What? What is it? That she left you? That she likes women? That she left you for another woman that likes women?" Chandler asked.

"Little louder, okay, I think there's a man on the twelfth floor in a coma that didn't quite hear you..." Ross said.

"Then what?" Alex asked.

"My first time with Carol was..." Ross mumbled the last part.

"What?" Joey asked.

"It was my first time," Ross said, clearer than the first time.

"With Carol?" Ross gave Joey a look, "Oh,"

"So in your whole life, you've only been with one—" Chandler got a look too, "—oh,"

"Whoah, boy, hockey was a big mistake! There was a whole bunch of stuff we could've done tonight!" Joey exclaimed.

***

At, Monica, Ella and Rachel's, the girls were still out on the balcony.

"Okay. Okay, I got one. Do you remember that vegetarian pate that I made that you loved so much?" Monica asked Ella and Phoebe.

"Uh-huh." The siblings nodded.

"Well, unless goose is a vegetable..." Monica laughed.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" The Buffays cried in disgust.

"Okay, fine, fine. Now I don't feel so bad about sleeping with Jason Hurley." Phoebe said smugly.

"Ooh!" Ella laughed.

"Karma." Jenny sang.

"What?! You slept with Jason?" Monica cried. 

"You'd already broken up." Phoebe shrugged, defending herself.

"How long?" Jenny asked with a smirk.

"A couple hours." Phoebe said.

"Oh, that's nice!" Monica cried.

"Okay, okay, okay, I got one!" Rachel said, sitting up and the cushion she was leaning against fell off of the balcony, "Anyway- The valentine Tommy Rollerson left in your locker was really from me." She exclaimed.

"Excuse me?!" Monica cried.

"Hello? Like he was really gonna send you one?" Rachel said and she and Jenny turned to Ella and Phoebe.

"She was a big girl," They both gestured.

"Really. Well, at least 'big girls' don't pee in their pants in seventh grade!" Monica told the blondes.

"I was laughing! You made me laugh!" Rachel cried and she and Monica began to squabble.

"There he is! There he is!" Jenny cried, pointing to George Stphanopoulos' window as the girls all ran over to the side of the balcony.

"Where?" Monica asked.

"Right- where we've been looking all night!" Phoebe said.

"He is so cute!" Rachel cried.

"Oh, George, baby, drop the towel!" Monica begged and the others started to join in.

"Yeah, drop it! Drop the towel! Please drop the—wowww."

***

"Man. Can you believe he's only had sex with one woman?" Joey asked Chandler, Jake and Alex as they sat in the Emergency Room, waiting for Ross.

"I think it's great. Y'know, it's sweet, it's romantic..." Chandler trailed off.

"Really?" Alex asked.

"No, you kidding? The guy's a freak.." Chandler scoffed.

"I think it's romantic." Jake muttered.

"Hey, buddy." Chandler, Jake, Alex and Joey greeted as Ross came out of the Doctor's Office.

"Hi." Ross said, wearing a piece of steel bandaged to his nose as he tossed some forms onto reception desk.

"Oh, that's attractive." The Receptionist sarcastically commented. 

"Oh, I thought you were great in Silence of the Lamb.," Chandler laughed before Jake turned to her brother.

"Oh come on, admit it! All things considered, you had fun tonight." The teenager said.

"Fun? Where was the fun? Tell me specifically, which part was the fun part? Where's my puck?" Ross asked.

"Oh, ah- the kid has it." Joey said, pointing to a kid in a chair, who was holding the puck that caused Ross to injure his nose.

"The kid...?" Ross asked before he went over to the boy.

"Excuse me, uh, that's, that's my puck." He told the kid.

"I found it. Finders keepers, losers weepers." The kid told Ross, who looked at Chandler for help.

"Kids are mean." Jake chuckled.

"You gotta do it, man." Chandler told him with a shrug and Ross turned to the kid.

"Oh yeah? Well, I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever—" He turned to Chandler and said, "—can't do it," Turning back to the kid, he said, "Listen, uh- gimme back my puck."

"No." The kid told him.

"'Yes', how about. C'mere. Gimme!" Ross ordered.

"No! No!" The kid cried and he and Ross started to fight over it. 

"Hey! Hey! No rough holding in my ER!" The Receptionist shouted as Ross tried to snatch it from the kid.

"GIVE ME MY PUCK!!" He screamed, but it flew out of his grasp and knocked out the receptionist, "...Now that was fun." Ross smiled.


***


Later that night, in Monica, Ella and Rachel's, Joey and the girls - minus Ella, who was sitting on Jake's lap on the armchair - were playing twister.

"Okay, Monica: Right foot red." Ross - who was doing the spinner.

"Could've played Monopoly, but nooooo." Monica said, putting her right foot on red.

There was a knock on the door and Chandler opened it and some guy (George Snuffalopagus) silently handed back the cushion that Rachel had accidentally dropped off the roof previously that night.

"Thanks." Chandler said and the guy nodded and left. 

"Okay, Pheebs: Right hand blue." Ross told the blonde and Phoebe bent over.

"Good." Ross said and Joey stared at the eldest Buffay's butt appreciatively.

The phone rang and Alex answered it, "Hello?... Oh, uh, Rachel, it's the Visa card people." He told the brunette.

"Oh, okay. Will you take my place?" Rachel asked the Thompson boy.

"Alright," He said before saying into the phone, "Yes, this is Rachel."

"Nooo!" Rachel told him and she grabbed the phone and Alex took her place on the mat.

"Hello?" Rachel said into the phone, "... Oh, yeah, no, I know, I-I haven't been using it much... Oh, well, thanks, but, I'm okay, really." Rachel said into the phone, looking at her friends.

"Green. To the green." Ella muttered, pointing to the green circle on the mat.

"I've got magic beans... Never-never mind." She told the people on the phone.

"To the left, to the left- aww!" Chandler cried before they all collapsed.

"Ohhh... I'm fine."
