Remember when Phoebe was living on the street? She had some crazy experiences then. She was so independent and had her own set of rules. One time she might be sharing a story with a street friend, and the next she was back at the coffee shop with her 'normal' friends, and the contrast between those two worlds was really interesting to see.
One possible fanfiction idea could be that Joey and Phoebe find out they're pregnant around the same time. They could then support each other through the pregnancy journey. Maybe they have crazy cravings together and compare notes on how they're feeling. Joey might be really excited to be a dad and start practicing his dad jokes early. Phoebe could be more laid - back about it, thinking it's just another part of life's beautiful chaos.
In 'Friends', Joey and Phoebe's relationship is mainly friendship - based. There were no real romantic developments between them. Joey was more into his acting career and his on - off relationships with other women, while Phoebe was focused on her own unique life, including her music and her rather offbeat family. They did have some really cute moments together as friends, like when they played silly games or shared their secrets. But it was never a love story in the romantic sense.
One of Phoebe's interesting stories is when she was a surrogate mother for her brother. It was such a unique and selfless thing to do. She was so committed to carrying the baby, despite all the strange and funny situations that came along with it. For example, the reactions of her friends were a mix of shock and admiration.
The plot could involve Joey and Phoebe dealing with the unexpectedness of their pregnancies. They could bond over the shared experience and form a unique friendship within the group. For example, they might go shopping for baby clothes together and end up getting into hilarious arguments over what's cute and what's not. Joey might be all for the traditional baby blue for a boy, while Phoebe wants something more unisex and earth - toned.
Monica supports them with her cooking skills. When either Rachel or Phoebe had a bad day, Monica would make their favorite dishes to cheer them up. In terms of emotional support, they are always there to listen to each other's relationship problems. Rachel listened to Phoebe's stories about her various boyfriends, and Phoebe and Monica were there for Rachel during her on - again - off - again relationship with Ross. They also support each other's career choices. Phoebe supported Monica when she was trying to get her own restaurant, and Rachel supported Phoebe when she was trying to make her music career work.
One non - sexual storyline could be their apartment - sharing experiences. They often have to deal with things like dividing up chores, having arguments over who gets the bigger room or how to decorate the living space. For example, when they painted the living room purple without consulting Chandler and Joey first. Another storyline could be their career - related situations. Rachel's journey in the fashion industry, Phoebe's odd jobs like being a masseuse, and Monica's career as a chef all provided many storylines that were about friendship and personal growth rather than anything sexual.
One plot idea could be Phoebe struggling to adapt to the changes in her body while still maintaining her unique and free - spirited lifestyle. Maybe she has a hard time finding maternity clothes that match her style. Another could be her friends' reactions. Joey might be overly excited and keep suggesting really bad baby names. And Chandler could be constantly worried about how having a baby in the group will change their dynamic.
With Rachel, Phoebe's pregnancy could make Rachel more aware of her own life choices. Maybe Rachel, who has had her own share of relationship and career ups and downs, starts to envy Phoebe's new - found family - building journey. Phoebe, on the other hand, might try to encourage Rachel to find stability. With Monica, Monica would probably be super organized about Phoebe's pregnancy. She'd be making meal plans and trying to get Phoebe to follow a strict schedule for the baby's health, which Phoebe might resist at first.
