I'm not sure specifically what story Rachel tells about Joey's Europe experience without more context. Maybe it involves his adventures, the people he met, or some funny cultural misunderstandings during his time in Europe.
As we don't know the exact content of Rachel's telling, it's impossible to summarize. However, generally speaking, if it's about Joey's Europe story, it could cover aspects like his journey, his interactions with Europeans, and his professional development (if any) during his stay in Europe.
It's possible that Rachel's friends in Europe had a story centered around a particular event. Say, they all went to a music festival in Spain. There, they danced to the lively music, made new friends, and had a wild time exploring the local nightlife. And throughout their time in Europe, they created memories that would last a lifetime.
Well, Joey once had some wild adventures in Europe. He might have been there for an acting gig. He probably tried out different local foods, met interesting people, and got into some comical situations. For example, he could have had trouble with the language and ended up ordering something completely different at a restaurant.
The start of their love story was a bit of a slow burn. Joey and Rachel had been friends for a long time. But as time passed, Joey noticed things about Rachel that he hadn't before. He liked how she took care of things around the apartment, and Rachel liked Joey's sense of humor. One day, they just looked at each other and there was a spark that signaled the start of their romantic journey.
I don't have the exact episode in mind. But it could be when Rachel shows interest or when Joey feels it's the right time to pass on the story. Sometimes it just happens spontaneously in the context of their friendship.
The most memorable parts of Joey's Europe story in Friends are his attempts at trying new foods. He may have made some really funny faces when he tasted something he didn't expect. Also, his interactions with other actors in Europe. He could have learned new acting techniques and brought them back to his friends in the US.
One of the main challenges was Ross. Since Rachel had a long - standing relationship with Ross, and they even had a child together, Ross was not happy about Rachel and Joey getting together. His jealousy and disapproval created a lot of tension.
Often, it was a build - up of shared experiences. They had been through so much together that one day, while reminiscing about their memories, the mood just got so right that Joey kissed Rachel.
In the fanfiction, their first kiss might be a moment full of surprise. Maybe it happened suddenly during an emotional conversation. Joey, with his charming yet goofy self, might have been caught up in the moment and leaned in to kiss Rachel. Rachel, initially shocked, then slowly melted into the kiss, making it a sweet and unexpected moment.
