Samantha idly watched her friends as they conversed. She didn't feel like engaging in their conversation, as she was having a bit of a rough day. It was hard to tell, but behind her stoic demeanor Samantha was tired and worn out.

Rachel walked up behind her, and handed her a questionable coffee cup. Samantha looked at it for a second before giving in and taking it from her.

"Okay, okay. If I were omnipotent for a day, I would want, um, world peace, no more hunger, good things for the rain-forest," Samantha's attention was diverted to Phoebe. "And bigger boobs!"

"Well see, you took mine," Ross joked, turning to Chandler. "Chandler, what about you?"

"Uh, if I were omnipotent for a day, I'd make myself omnipotent forever," Chandler answered with a smirk. Samantha scoffed, rolling her eyes.

Rachel reacted in the same way, "See, there's always one guy." She began to walk over to the counter. "If I had a wish, I'd wish for three more wishes," she contorted her voice, mocking Chandler.

Monica was laughing quietly in the corner. She was curious as to what Samantha's answer would be. "What about you Sam?"

"Oh well, I don't know, I guess the first thing I would do is change my family," Samantha mumbled, playing with her cup of coffee. Everyone looked at her solemnly. But it wasn't like they didn't have their own family problems either. It was just that Samantha tended to express her concern in anger or hatred. So, rarely did any of her friends see her down in the dumps. "Oh hey look it's Joey!" She tried switching the topic by pointing out the man who had just walked in.

"Hey Joey." "Hi." "Hey, buddy."

Joey walked over behind Samantha, placing his arms around her shoulders. Something was off about her today. He just couldn't place what it was.

"Hey, Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?"

"Probably kill myself!" He stated with a blank expression. Upon hearing his answer Samantha spit out the sip of coffee she had just taken.

"Excuse me?"

"Hey, if Little Joey's dead, then I got no reason to live!"

"Joey, uh- omnipotent," Ross tried to clarify, only making the situation worse.

"You are?" Joey asked, concerned. "Ross, I'm sorry"

A little while later Samantha, Chandler, and Joey had left deciding to go eat lunch. As they were making their way back to Central Perk, the two boys got into an argument about how many steps it would take to go from their apartment to the coffee house.
