    At Central Park Ross is teaching Ben how to ride a bike as Me,Chandler,Monica and Phoebe watch.

Ben:"On bike".I’m ready.

Ross:You sure?.

Ben:Uhuh.

Chandler:Okay let me just straighten out your helmet there."Fixes it".

Ben:"To Chandler".Thanks daddy.

I hold a laugh at that comment.

Ross:No,no one daddy, two mommies.All right it’s all yours."Pushes bike".

Chandler:Okay.Okay.

Ross:Yes!.Yes!.Yes!.

We all clap.

Phoebe:His first big kid’s bike this is so exciting!.

Monica:Oh yeah I remember mine.Oh it was my sixth birthday my dad took me to the park I got it and…it bent.

Ross:Yeah.

Elizabeth:I remember when my mom taught me.She would sing to me whenever I fell off of it.

Phoebe:I never had a bike of my own.

Ross:"Shocked".What?!.

Phoebe:Well we didn’t have a lot of money. But the girl across the street had the best bike.It was pink and it had rainbow colored tassels hanging off the handle grips and,and,and a bell and this big white wicker basket with those plastic daisies stuck on.

Chandler:That sounds like my first bike.

We all turn and look at him.

Chandler:My dad gave me his old one.

Ross:Oh.

Monica:Did the girl ever let you ride it?.

Phoebe:No.But she gave me the box that it came in.It had a picture of the bike on the front.So I would sit on it and my step-dad would drag me around the backyard.

Elizabeth:That is so unfair.

Phoebe:Not really I got to drag him around too.

   Phoebe enters the apartment carrying a skull.

Phoebe:Hey.

Elizabeth,Chandler:Hey.

Zakery,Rachel,Monica:Hi.

Phoebe:Ha."Puts skull on table".Ah!.

Chandler:Pheebs?.

Phoebe:Huh?.

Chandler:Skull?.

Phoebe:Oh yeah it's my mom's.

Rachel:"Freaking out".Oh my god!.

Phoebe:No,no,no.It's not!,It's not my mom. It belonged to mom.Yeah no she used to put it out every Christmas to remind us that even though it's Christmas people still die. And you can put candy in it.

   Phoebe grabs the skull and pulls out a stick of licorice and takes a bite.

Ross:"Enters".Hey!.

All:Hey!.

Monica:"Offering skull".Licorice?.

Ross:Sure!."Takes one".Hey I just found out I get Ben for the holidays this year.

All:Oh!.

Elizabeth:That's great!.

Monica:Are you gonna dress up as Santa?.

Ross:Nope.I mean I know Susan does every year but I think I wanna take this year to teach him all about Hanukkah.

Phoebe:And maybe I could teach Ben about the Christmas skull and how people die.

Rachel:You may need to use this year to teach Ben about Phoebe.

Ross:Hm.
