Phike

Phike is the het ship between Phoebe Buffay and Mike Hannigan from the Friends fandom.

First date
Phoebe and Joey decide to go on a double date and they agree to find a blind date for each other. Phoebe sets him Joey up with her friend Mary Ellen Jenkins, but Joey forgets. He tells Phoebe the guy's name is Mike. But he doesn't know a Mike, so in a last-ditch effort, he calls Mike's name at Central Perk, and Mike Hannigan answers. He agrees to go on the date, since Joey had promised him free food and to meet a beautiful woman.

They have the date at a restaurant, and Joey and Mike keep up the ruse that they already know each other. Phoebe learns that he is a former divorce and currently plays the piano. She also catches on to the fact that Joey and Mike are lying about knowing each other, and storms out of the restaurant.

Later at Central Perk, they run each other. Mike apologises to her, and Phoebe asks why he went along with it. He said Joey promised him he would meet a pretty girl, which he did. Mike pretends to play the piano to impress Phoebe, and they talk about music. Mike asks Phoebe out on a proper date and Phoebe agrees.

"Vikram"
They go on a few dates, and it's going well. After talking to Ross, Phoebe is sad about not being in a serious relationship before. Throughout the next date with Mike, she starts to cry thinking about what Ross said. They still agree to go on another date regardless.

Later, Ross visits Mike's place and tells him that Phoebe has never been in a serious relationship before. Mike questions Ross further, and so he lies saying she had a six-year-long relationship with a man named Vikram. Her fake ex-boyfriend is a kite designer and he used to date Oprah. At first, Phoebe is unwilling to go along with the lie but winds up saying that Vikram just called. She tells Mike that Vikram cheated and slept with Rachel, and he is also a glue sniffer.

She gives up and admits the truth, admitting that Vikram is a lie, and she has never been in a committed relationship. Mike kisses her, admits to finding her a little weird, but kisses her again. They are interrupted by a voicemail by Ross, pretending to be Vikram.

Relationship
Mike and Phoebe grow closer. On Phoebe's birthday, he has to work, so is unable to spend time with her. Instead, Phoebe plans a meal with her friends. However, Mike gets off work early, calls her, and Phoebe leaves the dinner to spend time with him.

At Central Perk, they hold hands, and Phoebe struggles to make her drink. Joey enters and makes them both uncomfortable by asking if they are turning into something more serious. Phoebe thinks it is too early to have that conversation, but Mike decides to give her the key to his apartment. In return, Phoebe also gives him a key.

Phoebe is visited by his past flame David. He is back from Minsk for a couple of days. She doesn't tell him about Mike, and agrees for a meal. Phoebe feels guilty not telling David about Mike. She sits him down later and tells him the truth. But regardless, they start kissing. Phoebe breaks the kiss, saying it's bad. Mike enters the apartment, seeing David holding Phoebe's face. Phoebe makes a quick lie saying he was giving her a face massage, but Mike is unconvinced.
