*********************
Rach: (teary eyed) Ross, why didn't you tell me?
Ross: I wanted to Rach. But we were going through the whole "break" thing. It would have just been more pain. Besides, what good would it have did.
Rach: It would have helped our situation.
Ross: (shocked) What....What are you saying?
Rach: I would have said yes. (Ross stands there for a while just staring at her)
Ross: Why are you telling me this. Are you trying to hurt me.
Rach: (shocked) What. No. I just.....
Ross: I can't believe this. I wanted to marry you. But we broke up. I wanted to work things out. And then I find out you would have accepted my proposal.
Rach: (angry) How do you think I felt when I found out that you were going to propose. And from Chloe. And don't blame our break-up on me. YOU SLEPT WITH ANOTHER WOMEN.
Ross: (yeling) We Were On A Break!!!
Rach: Ughhhh. (They both walk away)
[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, All but R&R are there]
Mon: What do you think is happening with them?
Chan: I just hope for Ross's sake that Rach is not near any sharp objects.
Joey: Do you think they'll get back together.
Phoe: They have to.
Mon: Uh...why?
Phoe: Well, because their lobsters. It might not happen right away. (Rachel enters and you can tell she is upset. She sits at the table. Eveyone goes up to her.)
Mon: Rach, whats wrong?
Rach: Ugh...Why do things have to be so complicated.
Phoe: What happened?
Rach: We were talking and he gets mad at me because I said I would have said yes, and then the whole "we were on a break" came up. (Everyone is surprised.)
Chan: You told him you would have accepted his proposal.
Rach: Yeah.
Joey: Why would you say that. Especially after you broke up.
Rach: (Emotional) I don't know. It just sliped out. I shouldn't have said anything.
Mon: Rach. It's going to be okay.
Rach: I hope you're right. (short silence) I should go apologize.
[Ross's. He's pacing around in the front room]
Ross: (I shouldn't have blew up at her like that. Why do things have to be complicated between us. I should go apologize) (Ross opens the door when Rachel is just about to knock.)
Ross: (suprised) Rachel.
Rach: (shyly) He..hey ross.
Ross: I was on my way to see you. Um...you wanna come in.
Rach: Ok. (They sit in the couch)
Ross/Rach: I'm sorry. (They both laugh akwardly)
Ross: You can go first.
Rach: Ok. (Takes a deep breath) Well Ross, I came to apologize for earlier. I shouldn't have said what I said. It was hard enough, on both of us, with the whole proposal. And me saying that just made it this situation more dificult.
Ross: It's ok Rach. It's not your fault....I'm sorry I got mad at you. I'm sorry you had to find out from Chloe about the proposal.(pause) I wish I could go back in time and make none of this happen.
Rach: Yeah. (Rachel has a dazed look on her face. Ross notices her look)
Ross: Rachel......(little louder) Rach.
Rach: Huh
Ross: You ok?
Rach: Yeah...Um Ross, I was just wondering, did you uh...get a ring.
Ross: (staring at the wall) Yes. (He looks at Rach who's looking down at the ground) I actually still have it. (she looks up at him.)
Rach: Aww..you kept it.
Ross: (smiling) Yeah. I just couldn't get rid of it. (long pause) You wanna see it.
Rach: (smiles) Sure. (Ross goes into his bedroom. He comes out a couple of minutes later)
Ross: Well, here it is. (he opens a little black box to reveal a beautiful diamond ring)
Rach: Oh my.... It's beautiful. (her eyes start to water) (Ross and Rachel share one of there moments and lean in for a
passionate kiss as if there making up for lost time. As they break they stare back at each other and then hug tightly as if neither wants to let go)
Rach: God, I've missed this.
Ross: (smiling) I've missed this too. (they break and kiss again)
The End
