Previously on Friends:

Scene opens in Ross's apartment. Ross and Rachel are standing by the door, gazing at one another.

Rachel: It's you and me, all right? This is it.

Ross: This is it. Unless we're on a break...

Rachel glares at him.

Ross (to himself): Don't make jokes now...

Rachel smiles, as they lean in and kiss each other. Scene fades to Ross's bedroom. "The Next Morning" appears on the bottom of the screen. Ross sits up, obviously just waking up. He looks over and smiles at Rachel, who is lying next to him, waking up.

Ross: Hey.

Rachel smiles and kisses him.

Rachel: Hey, you. I can't believe I'm waking up next to you again. It feels like a dream.

Ross: I know. I've missed having you here, too.

Ross kisses her again.

Rachel: I should probably get up, I have to get Emma from my mom's.

Ross: Yeah, and I have a class this afternoon.

A pause.

Ross: You know, I could get someone to cover for me.

Rachel: And I'm sure Emma won't mind staying with her grandma another day.

Ross leans over and starts kissing Rachel passionately. Suddenly, a loud knocking on the front door is heard, followed by a yell.

Monica: ROSS GELLER, OPEN THIS DOOR! YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!

Ross and Rachel share a look. Theme song and title sequence plays.

So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

Scene opens in Ross's living room. Monica is standing by the door, in her jacket. Ross is standing by the bedroom door in a bathrobe.

Ross: Uh, Mon...before you go flipping out, at least let me explain.

Monica: Shut up, and move aside! I have a head of steam built up, and someone's about to go down!

Ross: Rachel, run! Angry Monica incoming!

Ross moves to the living room as Monica stomps past him. Rachel runs out a few seconds later wrapped in a sheet, as Monica comes running out after her. Monica chases her around the couch, but fails to catch up.

Monica: Hold still, so I can hit you!

Monica continues to chase Rachel, until Ross finally grabs her.

Ross: Monica, stop! What is the big deal?

Monica: The "big deal", Ross, is that she's supposed to be in Paris, and you're supposed to be hurting!

Ross: Do I look like I'm hurting?
Monica stomps on his foot. Ross lets go of her, and falls onto the couch, grimacing in pain.

Monica: Yes.

Monica resumes chasing Rachel, attempting to beat her with a pillow from the couch. Ross gets up and grabs his sister again.

Ross: Mon, stop it! She's here because she loves me!

Monica: What? (to Rachel) Really?

Rachel nods happily. Monica squeals, and runs over to give Rachel a hug.

Monica: Oh, this is great! So does this mean you two are back together?

Rachel: Yes. We're in love, Monica!

Monica: Oh my god! Wait until the others find out!

Monica starts running for the front door, until Rachel stops her.

Rachel: No, you can't tell the others yet! I wanna surprise them.

Monica: Uh...that might not be possible.

Ross: Why?

Monica: Well, because...

Monica is interrupted by a frantic banging on Ross's front door.

Monica: ...weallsawyoulastnight.

Phoebe: OPEN UP, I HAVE A RACHEL TO HURT!

Ross (to Rachel): Hide.

Rachel runs back to Ross's bedroom, and slams the door. Scene ends, and opens in Monica and Chandler's old apartment. Joey and Chandler are standing in the almost empty apartment. Packed boxes are in random places. Joey is standing by the window.

Joey: Well, it looks like Ross managed to calm Phoebe down.

Chandler: Is there a big, gaping crater where his apartment used to be?

Joey: No, why?

Chandler: Then that means Rachel's probably still alive.

Joey: Wouldn't it be wild if they got back together?

Chandler (sarcastically): Yes, I'm sure they fooled us into thinking they were making out last night so that when they turned out the lights, they could escape and laugh at us.

Joey opens his mouth to retort, but Chandler's cell phone starts ringing to the tune of Today Was A Fairytale. Joey just stares, as Chandler answers.

Chandler: Hello?

Scene cuts to Monica in Ross's living room with a fuming Phoebe and Ross standing by the bedroom door.

Monica (on the phone): Hi, honey? How's it going over there?

Scene cuts back to Monica and Chandler's apartment.

Chandler (on the phone): Oh, it's going pretty good. We're getting the boxes ready for the movers, the twins are asleep, and we're just waiting for you guys to come back over.

Scene cuts to Ross's apartment.

Monica (on the phone): Okay. We'll be over as soon as I can drag Phoebe out of here. Though it might take Rachel a little bit, she was only wearing a sheet when I last saw her.

Scene cuts to Monica and Chandler's apartment.

Chandler (on the phone): You want me to send Joey over there?

Scene cuts to Ross's apartment.

Monica (on the phone): No, you better not. You two can get the boxes ready faster than any of us. I should have Phoebe out of here soon.

Chandler (over the phone): Okay. Love you, see you in a bit.

Monica (on the phone): Love you, too. Bye.

Scene cuts to Monica and Chandler's apartment.

Chandler (on the phone): Bye.

Chandler hangs up, and looks up to see Joey giving him a weird look.

Chandler: What?

Joey: Taylor Swift?

Chandler: It was Monica's choice. I didn't really get a say in which ringtone she has.

Joey grins, and helps Chandler start stacking boxes. Scene cuts to Ross's bedroom. Ross and Rachel are standing inside. Rachel is looking under the bed and in the closet.

Rachel: Honey, where did I leave my bags at?

Ross: I think you left them out in the living room.

Rachel looks at the door with a panicked look on her face.

Rachel: Out...out there?

Ross: Yeah, why?

Ross looks over and sees the panicked look on Rachel's face.

Ross: Oh come on, Rach, I highly doubt Phoebe's going to hurt you.

Rachel (squeaky voice): Uh huh.

Ross walks over and hugs Rachel to him.

Ross: If you want, I'll go get them for you.

Rachel: No, I'll go. Just...just let me borrow your robe. I feel weird walking around in a sheet.

Scene cuts to Ross's living room. Phoebe is sitting on the couch, watching TV. Monica is in the kitchen, getting a drink. Rachel opens the bedroom door, and starts easing out. Phoebe looks up from the TV, and sees Rachel.

Phoebe: You freeze, missy!

Rachel runs over and grabs her bags as Phoebe proceeds to chase her around the living room, beating her with a pillow from the couch.

Rachel: Ow! Phoebe, stop it!

Phoebe: Not until you say you're sorry for what you did to Ross!

Rachel continues to run away from Phoebe, who's cell phone starts ringing. Without missing a swing, she answers.

Phoebe: Hello? Oh, hi honey! Nothing much, just beating on Rachel with a pillow for what she did to Ross. Are you going to be over soon to help the others get the boxes ready for the movers?

A pause.

Phoebe: A what? Honey, that's WONDERFUL! No, you go to that, and I'll see you tonight. I love you, too. Bye.

Phoebe hangs up, and quits hitting Rachel with the pillow. Monica is standing in the doorway, a look of total disbelief on her face.

Phoebe: Well, I feel better, don't you?

Scene ends and opens in Monica and Chandler's apartment. The movers are hauling out the last of the furniture, as the gang stands around the apartment. Two movers are hauling away a chest. Monica steps near with Erica in her arms.

Monica: Please be careful with that, it was my grandmother's. Be careful...thank you.

Two more movers walk past with the ceramic greyhound on their pallet.

Monica: Uh, if THAT falls off the truck, it wouldn't be the WORST thing.

Monica slips the mover a $20 bill from her jacket pocket.

Ross looks around.

Ross: Wow.

Rachel: I know. It seems...smaller somehow.

Joey: Has it always been...PURPLE?

Chandler grins as he walks over to Monica with Jack in his arms. He looks down at the twins.

Chandler: Look around, you guys. This was your first home. And it was a happy place. Full of love, and laughter...but most importantly, because of rent control, it was a friggen steal!

Monica grins, and they walk over to the stroller to put the twins down. Phoebe stands up and walks to the center of the room.

Phoebe: Hey, do you realize that at one time or another, we all lived in this apartment?

Murmurs of "Oh, yeah!" and "That's true." fill the room.

Ross: Uh...I haven't.

Monica: Wait, what about that summer you lived with Grandma and you tried to make it as a dancer?

Everyone turns to look at Ross.

Ross: You realize we almost made it ten YEARS without that coming up?

Monica turns to Chandler.

Monica: Oh honey, I almost forgot. I promised Treeger we'd leave our keys.

Chandler: Oh, okay.

(A/N I know I was following the series finale there. I don't wanna be stepping on NBC's toes, here.)

They turn to take their keys to the apartment off their key chains.

Phoebe: Wait a minute! Ross, you said you never lived here, right?

Ross: Yeah.

Phoebe: Well, you should rent this apartment!

Ross: Phoebe, I have an apartment. It's right across the street, remember?

Phoebe: Yeah, but this has been our hangout spot for ten years. And more than that, it's been home for us all for that long. Besides, you and Rachel can move here!

Ross: I don't know...

Rachel: Ross, I really want to live here again, but I can't afford it on my own.

Rachel gives him a sad, puppy dog look.

Rachel: Please?

Rachel sticks her bottom lip out in a pout. Ross groans.

Ross: Okay, that's just not fair. You know I can't say no to anything when you do that!

Ross turns to Monica.

Ross: Is Treeger downstairs right now?

Monica: I think so. Why?

Ross: Because I'm gonna go talk to him right now about getting this apartment before anyone else does!

Ross runs out the door, slamming it behind him.

Phoebe: He's been doing that a lot lately. I don't know why.

Scene ends and opens in Treeger's apartment. Treeger is sitting in his chair, watching a game on TV with a beer and a bowl of chips. Ross knocks on his door. Treeger gets up, walks over, and opens the door.

Treeger: Geller. Nice to see you. Come in.

Ross walks in, shutting the door behind him. Treeger walks to the kitchen.

Treeger: Beer?

Ross: No, thanks. Uh, did I catch you at a bad time?

Treeger: Nah. Game's on, Knicks are winning.

Treeger sits down in his chair.

Treeger: So what's on your mind, Geller?

Ross: Well, I was wondering...that is, if it's not too soon...if I could...

Treeger suddenly screams at the TV.

Treeger: Oh, come on! He was FOULED!

He turns back to Ross.

Treeger: So what was it you wanted, Geller?

Ross: I wanted to ask you if I could rent my sister's old apartment.

Treeger: Thought you had your own place.

Ross: I do, but Rachel wants to go back to that apartment, and she can't afford to live there by herself.

Treeger: Oh, you and Greene are back together? Well, I don't see why not. Come see me tomorrow, we'll get started on the paperwork.

Ross: Thanks, Treeger! You're the best.

Treeger: Yeah, sure. No problem. Hey, are you sure you don't wanna stay for a bit? Watch some of the game?

Ross: Well, Monica is still harassing the movers, but...

Ross sees the look on Treeger's face.

Ross: Sure, I'll stay for a bit.

Treeger throws Ross a beer, who takes a seat on the couch. Scene ends, and opens in the apartment. Ross stumbles in, drunk. Monica and Rachel glare at him.

Monica: Where have you been? The movers came and took the last of the stuff down over two hours ago.

Ross: With Treeger. He wanted to celebrate the Knicks winning their game.

Rachel peers closer at him.

Rachel: Are you DRUNK?

Ross: A little.

Monica and Rachel start beating on him, as Phoebe, Chandler, and Joey enter. Phoebe starts beating on Ross along with Monica and Rachel.

Ross: Ow! OW! Cut it out, will you?

Monica: No! You came back from a two hour talk with Treeger drunk!

Ross: Yeah, and there was a reason for it!

Monica: There is no good reason for coming in drunk! What if you had been driving?

(A/N You all heard that, right? Drinking and driving is BAD. This Public Service Announcement has been brought to you by Friends. Now, back to the show. :P)

Ross: If you stop beating on me, I'd tell you!

The girls back off. Ross takes a moment to compose himself, and fix his shirt.

Ross: I was drinking with Treeger because I'm trying to make a good impression with my new landlord.

Monica: What?

Ross: We got the apartment.

Rachel gasps.

Rachel: Really?

Ross grins and nods.

Ross: I'm gonna meet with him tomorrow to get the paperwork filled out. No one has to leave their keys.

Rachel squeals, and hugs Ross tightly.

Joey: Wait, does this mean we're gonna be neighbors?

Ross: Yes.

Joey joins in the hug. After a few seconds, the whole gang joins in for a group hug. Credits appear on the screen.

CREDITS SCENE:

Phoebe and Joey are sitting in Central Perk, on the couch.

Joey: Wow, this has been a wild day. Monica and Chandler moved to their new house, Ross and Rachel are back together and in the old apartment...

Phoebe: Yeah, and Mike has a 3-day gig in Philadelphia. This has been, like, the best day EVER.

Joey starts to smile, then suddenly gets a shocked look on his face.

Phoebe: What?

Joey: I just realized that 3rd Rock from the Sun means Earth!

END OF SHOW

(A/N Thank you all, for taking the time to read this. Reviews would be greatly appreciated. And I also must ask of my readers: I have plot ideas for a few episodes, but nowhere near enough for an entire season. If there is a plot idea you'd like to see written, post your idea in your review. I'll pick the best ones, and use it for an episode. And if yours gets picked, I WILL give credit to you in the beginning. So what do you say? Want to take the challenge?)
