The one with the Chick

[pickyourmoments]

There's a familiar-looking man in the bar today. You might recognise him, but you'd be forgiven if you didn't. He's a little older, has a bit more facial hair than before and...

Wait. Is that a chicken?

Yep. Chandler's over by the fire, holding a small, yellow chick in his hands. A small, yellow chick that is also quite damp.

Cheep! Cheep! Cheep

Chandler might remember Lucas and Lucas, having seen Chandler not too long ago (though it certainly feels like ages), will probably remember him even with the addition of facial hair. He hears the cheeping and comes over to investigate.

It makes him oddly homesick, even though he's not sure he wants to be back home.

"What happened to the poor thing?" he asks.

"Joey tried to see if chicks could swim," Chandler answers simply.

It takes him a moment, but he does remember Lucas.

Lucas is properly mad at and disappointed in Joey for doing such a thing to the poor chick.

"Awww, you've had it rough, haven't you, sweetie?" he says, gently stroking the damp chick.

"When did you get the chick? I remember you didn't have any animals when we talked about the sheep at home."

"At a pet store," Chandler says simply. "We just got a duck today, too."

In his tiny little apartment. Oh, this is going to be fun.

And now Lucas finds Joey's intelligence even more questionable.

"Did Mister Joey get the chick and the duck mixed up?"

It's the only possible explanation he's got for this.
