This story took me about a week. I don't own any of these characters, although I wish I did own Ross and I could settle for Chandler too. Ross and Rachel are my all time favorite couple. So if you're not their fan, don't bother with this story. Please review and tell me if I made any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Just so you know, all my stories could have happened, if the setting was different. It's more realistic then some fanfics I have read. Not judging!

This doesn't take place during the 10 seasons. It takes place in 1987. When it was Ross' first year at college. Just so you know, Ross has changed a little. I don't mean personality but looks yeah a lot! Tell me if you like it!

"Ross changes from geek to sweet/ Thanksgiving 1987"

Ross comes home with Chandler. ' I look different' he thought. 'Maybe Rachel will like my new look, God knows I did this for her'. His hair looks like in season 6. He shaved therefore no unwanted mustache, just smooth skin. He is tanned; he worked out a lot! Chandler was wearing a gray suit with his flock of seagulls haircut. Ross was wearing an undershirt, with jeans and a leather jacket over the undershirt. He didn't want to be too revealing of his new abs and muscles.

Authors note: it could happen.

Rachel had already arrived at the Gellar house, and was talking to Monica of how rude Chip was for cheating on her, and how not to call sex "your flower". When the doorbell rang. Monica went to go get her popcorn "AKA her appetizers before dinner" she was seconds too late to answer the door. So, Rachel went to go answer it. She didn't know it was Ross, he had changed that much.

Rachel opened the door, and saw some guy and I guess his really sexy friend.

Rachel: "Hi" she said completely dazed at the guy who she didn't know was Ross. "Can I help you"? She asked very shyly. Rachel wasn't really shy around guys but for some reason here she was.

Chandler replied obviously with a joke. "Yeah, can I get a hamburger, a large order of fries, and a diet coke. See, I am trying to watch my weight." Some people never change.

Ross chuckled. Rachel was fascinated by his laugh, and swore she heard it before, somewhere. Ross said " Hi, Rachel. Can we come in?"

Rachel stood there trying to place him. Than realized that no one had spoken in minutes and replied "Um, who are you? Because I am sure I would have remembered who you were" She replied trying to flirt. It worked, Ross was now very confused.

"Oh, sorry. This is my best friend Chandler" Chandler put out has hand as he was waiting for a hand shake from Rachel but she just looked at it and rolled her eyes. Chandler decided that he was embarrassed enough, so he just took his hand away.

"Not him. I was talking about you, sexy" she replied wanting a little more than just a handshake. Ross was even more confused than before. Was the Rachel Green flirting with him? "Ross. Ross Gellar. Ring any bells?" He finally replied not knowing what was coming. Rachel simply replied "no, you can't be Ross". She was puzzled. Was this really Ross, because he sure did look familiar?

Chandler finally said, "yeah, since his big change, I keep on asking myself that very same question everyday." Rachel was very embarrassed she just made a fool out of herself. "Oh well, come on in". "I am going to kill Monica," she said under her breath. Ross asked "What?" He didn't quite hear what she said.

"I am going to call Monica," She said. Happily the way she recovered. "Monica come down, NOW" She tried not to be too angry.

OPENING CREDITS

Monica came down and hugged Ross, saw Chandler and blushed.

"Everyone, this is Chandler my roommate and lead singer of our band""wow" the word escaped Rachel mouth as she was looking at Ross dreamingly. The others looked at her and she quickly said "nice to meet you Chandler."

Monica hid behind Rachel in wit. "Ross!" Monica insisted on Ross introducing her to his new roommate or future boyfriend as she saw it. "Oh, sorry. This is Monica" Ross pointed out to Chandler. Monica said "hi, I'm Ross' little sister". "Okay" Chandler sarcastically said.

Judy, Monica and Ross' mother came up to Chandler and said, "I am so glad you could come Chandler. We've got plenty of food, so I hope you're hungry". Ross heard this and immediately replied "no, mom. Chandler doesn't eat any thanksgiving food and hates thanksgiving." Judy replied " Oh, well I am so glad you brought him then" Than she walked away.

Monica offered to make Chandler Macaroni and Cheese. He accepted it. Rachel grabbed Monica into the kitchen where they can talk in privet while Monica started making the Mac and cheese.

Rachel said furiously "why didn't you tell me?" Monica answered confused

"About Macaroni and Cheese. I didn't think it mattered." "No, not that. About Ross." Rachel replied. "What about him?" Monica said interested.

Rachel couldn't believe it. Didn't Monica notice? "Monica, he's gorgeous".

Monica asked 'Yeah, so?" She answered not really understanding at where Rachel was getting at. Rachel heart beat fast. "How can you ask that?"

Monica asked her "do you want to go out with him?"

Rachel paused for a moment. Did she? Ross was really sweet before, and nice too her. But he was till the same nerd Ross. Wasn't he? Rachel replied "No, I mean it's" Just when she was about to say his name. He walked into the kitchen looking for some punch bowl or something. "Ross" Rachel said. "Hi" she said smiling. She was trying to make a good impression.

Ross climbed on the chair to get the bowl, and Monica kept smiling at him and almost crying with tears of joy that her best friend and her brother were going to go out. Ross noticed this excessive smiling "what?" he asked. "Nothing, I am just so excited about making this macaroni and cheese for Chandler" she answered. Not knowing what was his reaction was going to be. Ross replied s with a joke " Wow, what's that like?" Rachel laughed at this. Ross blushed. He made Rachel Green laugh! Monica than said, "I am going to talk to mom and dad about…. something". She rushed out of the room. To leave the two love birds alone.

There was an awkward silence but Ross broke that "so, Rach? How is Chip?" He knew that she deserved a lot better than that guy. Just because he was a pretty boy didn't mean that he could support her in life. Rachel replied dreamingly "Who?" Ross repeated "Chip" Rachel replied " Right. Who?" She gazed into his deep chocolate puppy brown eyes. She never really noticed them before. Ross finally said after being altered with a mighty high confusion "Rachel, are you okay?" Rachel finally snapped out of it "yeah. Chip and I broke up.

Ross tried to contain his happiness. "Oh, I am really sorry"

Rachel simply replied "its okay. Its not like I love him or something."

Ross was scared to say what he wanted but he decided to try it anyway. "Rachel, you deserve to be someone who will love you, and never hurt you. I mean look at you. You're not only beautiful, but your smart, sweet, and kind…. sometimes. " Rachel chuckled. Ross finished "you deserve to be with someone so much better than him." Rachel thanked him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Ross blushed. This was not the perfect time to blush. But he knew that his new look had changed something. Rachel never talked to him before. Maybe just a few words here and there. Her talking to him felt great. For him, it was a huge accomplishment.

Please review. Tell me if I should continue.
