Hello everybody... First of all, thank you for your reviews, I just love reading them, so keep them coming.. Many of you say that I could have delayed Rachel accepting Ross' plea for another chance or that some drama could have been nice. I completely understand what you mean guys, but the only problem is, I am first a Ross and Rachel shipper, and then a writer, it is as simple as that. And I don't want to write dramatic stories just for the heck of it.. if I get a good idea for a story, I won't take time in posting it. Just, let me get the hang of writing stories, I'm still a beginner right? Until then, I hope you can enjoy the stories I write.. Anyways..

I hope you all saw the F.R.I.E.N.D.S almost-reunion picture without Matthew Perry, loved to see Schwimmer and Aniston sitting together.. isn't it?

Ross looked at his reflection in the mirror. He could see a different sparkle in his eyes since the past two days. Why? Because Rachel had accepted to give another chance to them, and most importantly, to him. He promised to himself that he would not mess it up. He would prove to her, to Emma, to himself, that he could change, that he had changed. For good.

Then again, he was not so sure why she wanted it to be a secret. Maybe she is still not over whatever has happened between us. He readily agreed on the condition as he wanted so badly for Rachel to give him another chance for their relationship.

He put just a tad bit of gel in his hair, just like Rachel used to like when they were going out all those years back. How much time had passed? 6 years, he realized. He smiled to himself. After all this time, life had led Rachel back to him. And he planned not to let her go this time. His chain of thoughts was broken by the ringing of his cell phone. He quickly answered.

"Hello"

"Hey dude, it's Joey" He heard his best friend on the other side.

"Oh, hey, what's up?"

"Chan and I are going to watch Die Hard tonight. We thought you'd like to join" Uh-oh, Ross thought. How would he get out of this? He was supposed to meet Rachel at her office in about half an hour. And he knew Joey knew that die hard was something he would never skip for anything. "Ross, you there?"

"Wha-yea.. Yeah I am" Ross was his nervous self.

"So what time will you come over?" Joey asked.

"Uh.." Ross cleared his throat. "I think I'll pass this time"

He heard Joey gasp. "You're saying no to Die hard?" Joey said all dramatically.

"Actually, I'm supposed to watch Ben for the night. Carol and Susan needed some time alone"

"Nice!" Joey smirked in his signature style.

"Joey!" Ross said in his warning tone. He so did not want to have an image of his ex-wife with her lesbian lover.

"You know you can bring him along" Joey suggested.

"Hmm.. I don't think so. You see, he has school tomorrow. He needs to sleep early" He mentally patted himself on the back to have come up with an excuse so fast.

"Oh, alright"

"Yea.. some other time, maybe" Ross said.

"You bet! Have fun with Ben. See ya" With that, Joey hung up and Ross sighed to himself. He looked at his watch and realized he was late for his date with Rachel. And the latter alone was enough to light up his mood.

Rachel put her index finger on her lips to signal Ross to stay quiet as he entered her office. She was on the phone. "No, I already asked Molly to stay a little longer" Ross stood in confusion and listened to the conversation.

She listened to the other side of the phone. "Oh he offered but I didn't want to impose"

"God Mon, I know she's his daughter too" Ross smiled at his sister's name. Only she could bug Rachel like that. "Okay, I will tell him if I see him. May I hang up? The longer you yell at me, the longer I would have to work" She explained to her best friend.

"Thank you, good bye" She hung up and put her head in her hands. "Argh.. your sister was driving me crazy on the phone"

"Hey, you" Ross was really in a good mood and nothing could swing it another way.

"Hi" She said, calming herself a little. "I swear she sounded like I had left her child with the sitter" Ross laughed.

"Well, she does love Emma, you know." Ross said as a matter of fact. His comment made her smile.

"Yeah, she really does. I can't wait to see her as a mother. She's really great with Emma too. In fact, I do not know how I would have handled my pregnancy if she wasn't there" She reflected. "I mean, don't get me wrong. You're the father, and you were there to-to support me and all but, you know.." She could not quite find the right words to describe Monica or Phoebe.

"I know, it's a girl thing" He said in way that made Rachel chuckle. "Anyway, are we ready to go?" Ross asked.

"You put a lot of thought into this, didn't you?" Rachel asked Ross as he helped her up on the carriage. He had treated her with a delicious dinner at Sorentino's, where they talked about the good times of their relationship when they were first going out. He had told her that they never got to have their previous first date six years ago at the place and he wanted to make up for that as he was the one who had to work that night. Now they were on the horse carriage, ready to have a ride around the New York City.

"I do need to impress you" He said as a matter of fact. Rachel laughed as the carriage started to move.

"How do you get these ideas?" She asked looking straight ahead, after five minutes of complete silence.

Ross looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"

"I never asked you when we were going out and.." She turned to look at him. "Never ever did I think that my best friend's geeky older brother was full of such romantic gestures" Ross noticed that she started to rub her arms up and down due to cold. So he quickly took off his jacket and made her wear it. She smiled at him. "So?" She nudged him again, expectantly.

He shrugged. Cutely, Rachel noticed. "I guess it comes naturally to me when I think of you" He whispered, looking deep into her eyes.

They kept staring at each other until there was a strong halt to the carriage due to a passerby, almost making Rachel lose her balance. But Ross held her wrist to not let her fall. It again started to move as she leaned her head over his shoulder and closed her eyes to revel in his presence. He softly kissed her hair before resting his cheek on her forehead.

And there they were, Ross and Rachel, falling in love with each other, again. After six years. Better yet, reviving their love for each other. Love that did not die, but was lost somewhere deep within them. For six years.
