Monica and Rachel had a rival, named Terri, in Monica's apartment building. Terri was tall, about five-nine, and pretty. She wasn't as pretty as Monica or Rachel, however. Chandler, Ross and Joey had each asked her out, but their friendship with Monica nixed that. Terri wanted to show everyone that anybody who was friends with Monica wasn't good enough for her. Since Monica and Chandler, and Ross and Rachel, had become couples, Terri showed new interest in Ross and Chandler. Stealing Monica or Rachel's live-in boyfriend would be an irresistible coup for Terri.
Terri flirted with Chandler in the hallway. She smiled generously, twirled her hair around her finger, and batted her eyelashes at him. Chandler got to the apartment, and reported to Monica, "That girl, Terri, I think was coming on to me. She wouldn't give me the time of day, before. I know that my relationship with you makes me more attractive, in general. Do you think that's what's happening here?"
Monica seethed, "Chandler, it's more than that. She probably wants to drive a wedge between us. That would be a real feather in her cap, that bitch."
One night, when the whole gang was at Monica and Chandler's apartment, Chandler bragged a little to the guys, "You know that hot girl, Terri? She's been making passes at me lately. I call it the 'Monica Effect,' and it feels very, very good."
Ross lit up, "Chandler, she's been flirting with me ever since Rachel moved in with me. Every time I see her, she makes a point of chatting me up. She's pretty overt about it."
Joey said, "Well, she hasn't said a word to me, so I guess it must be the fact that you two are in relationships. That woman is a snake in the grass, guys, a maneater."
Rachel called to Monica, who was in the kitchen, "Are you hearing this, Monica?"
Monica came into the living area, and said, "I know what's going on, and it really fries my rice."
Phoebe said, "You girls should put Terri in her place, once and for all."
Rachel and Monica looked to one another. Rachel said, "That'd be cool, Phoebe, but how?"
Phoebe, "Humiliate her. Humiliate her by letting your boyfriends sleep with her."
Chandler protested, "Sleeping with Ross and I is not the severe punishment you seem to think it is, Phoebe."
Phoebe clarified, "I don't mean let her seduce you. I mean you guys use her, toss her aside like a dishrag, and Monica and Rachel gloat over it."
Ross ventured, facetiously, "I like that plan. I'd be willing to take that bullet for you, Rach."
Chandler said, comically, "Same here, Monica. I'd do it for you."
Joey did not get the irony with which Ross and Chandler spoke, and said, quite seriously, "I'd like to get a piece of that action, too!"
Monica and Rachel shared a significant look. Monica said, "I'd be okay with you three guys taking turns on Terri, in a humiliating and exploitative way. A gangbang. It would have to be a victory for you guys over her, not the other way around."
Rachel said, "Yeah, just use her and lose her. I'd love to see that."
The three guys looked from one to the other. Ross said, "Guys, how do we do this?"
The girls were happy to advise the guys on how to make this happen. The next time Chandler saw Terri, in the lobby, he paused to chat with her and to make eyes at her. He said, "You know, Ross and I are going to have a guys' night next Saturday. Monica and Rachel will be out of town. We're going to binge watch all the 'Die Hard' movies, in sequence. You should join us."
Terry couldn't hide her eagerness, "That sounds like fun. What can I bring?"
"Just yourself, Terri. We'll have lots of food and beer. Just one thing, though," he looked around suspiciously, "don't tell Monica or Rachel about this, okay?"
Terrie was hooked. She said, "Mum's the word."
Monica and Rachel were not out of town on Saturday night. They had a girls' night out with Phoebe. Chandler was to call them when the guys' mission was over, whether successful or not. Terri showed up at seven. Chandler showed her in. Ross was already there, and Chandler said, "Joey is going to join us, later, Terri." Terri was a little disappointed to hear that Joey would be present. Seducing him would do her no good, whatsoever.
Terri was a beer drinker, and the guys had a variety of brews available, ice cold. One of their intermediate goals was to get as much beer into Terri as possible. She had downed two beers before Joey even arrived. They began the first movie. Terrie said, "Bruce Willis is hot, guys. I hate to tell you, but he is hot."
Making lemonade from lemons, Ross raised his beer, and toasted, "Here's to Bruce Willis!" The guys sipped their beers, and Terri shotgunned hers. Immediately, a fresh beer was put into her hands. The four had a lot of fun watching the movie. Terri was being one of the guys. She seemed to actually like the film, and there was no question that she liked Bruce Willis.
Joey had agreed to let Ross and Chandler do most of the talking. The guys commiserated over the burden of being in a relationship. Chandler began, "It feels so good to hang out with friends, without having the girls looking over our shoulders, and telling us to mind our manners."
