Roommate Time [an RP thread for how_youdoin]

Chandler's mind was going a mile a minute as he sat down on the couch in the living room of the apartment that he shared with Joey Tribbiani.

Don't think about work. Don't think about Abby. Especially don't think about that stupid gala thing -- why had he said yes??He picked up the phone and ordered pizza. The Joey Special. It had been awhile

"You've already eaten lunch, Joey."

"But Moooooonnnnn," Joey whined and shoved his watch wrist under Monica's nose. "That was nearly thirty minutes ago."

Monica threw up her soapy hands. "I don't have any more food for you! You've already eaten me out of lasagne and casserole and now I have to make another...Joey, what're you doing?"

Joey had his head cocked to the side, eyes rolling back as he brought a finger to his lips. "Shh, I think I hear something."

Monica's own eyes went wide. "What? Like a thief?" Her hand hovered near a pan. "A rat? What? This place is clean!"

"Shhhh!" Joey tiptoed over to the apartment door and opened it quietly. His face immediately broke out into an excited grin.

He knew that tune.

"BAYWATCH!" He cried, making a beeline across the hall and barrelling into his and Chandler's apartment. "Oh oh oh, turn it up! Turn it up!" In his haste, he left the door open and flopped into his chair, staring at the TV. "You shoulda yelled, man."

"Why yell when you have such good Baydar?" Chandler said a bit mockingly. "I ordered pizza too. The Joey Special." He kicked his feet up on the recliner.

Joey grinned, nodding his head excitedly as he leaned back too and settled into his chair. This was the life. Exactly the kind of thing he'd want to come home to after a long hard day at wo-.....Monica's kitchen table.

"Wow," he stared in awe at the TV. "Y'think those things would bounce like that if she was say, running for the bus or somethin'? Maybe I should start taking the bus..."

"To where?" Chandler wanted to know. "Oh, and do you think you can get your hands on a tuxedo for me for this gala thing? You know, maybe snag one from the wardrobe department of--what was that thing you were working on this week?"

"Hey!" Joey tore his eyes from the screen long enough to shoot an affronted look at his friend. "I go places! Lots of places." His face lit up. "I'll get one to Central Perk!" He all but HA!'ed right in Chandler's face.

He was back staring at Baywatch before he answered the tuxedo request. "Sure. It's called Raiders of the Lost Bark. It's a revolutionary tale about three tree-hugging hippies in the sixties who are tryin' to stop the spread of urbanization," he recited faithfully, remembering what the casting agent had told him. "I play one of the guys who wants to cut down the tree. They chop my leg off instead. Estelle says it's gonna be huge."

"Wow," Chandler raised his brows, but his tone was supportive of his friend. "So do you have to like, hop on one leg for the rest of the movie or are they using special effects?"
