There's Hope

Ross: so rach, you want me to sleep on the floor?

Rachel: so I get the couch?

Ross: I'm willing to sleep on the floor just so you get the couch. (has a very sweet look on his face)

Rachel: (touches his cheek with the back of her palm.) aww, that's so sweet. I was thinking we could share the couch.

Ross: I would love that.

They lay on the couch side ways, Rachel was in the front. Ross hugged her from the back.

Rachel: if you moved a little forward I might end up flat on the ground.

Ross: haha, don't worry , I won't. good night sweetie.

Rachel: nite.

Both closes their eyes and went to sleep. They had the same position until morning.

The sun rises and Monica was the one who woke up first. She came out and look sweetly at R&R.
Sarah then came out of the room.

Sarah: (with jealousy in her eyes) oh, they spent the night on the same couch.

Monica: yea.

Chandler and Joey came in.

Joey & Chandler: aww… (looking at R&R on the couch)

Chandler: (goes to the couch and screamed out) hey there's an asteroid in the sky!!!

Ross: (Ross wakes up suddenly and accidentally knock Rachel and she fell down.) what?! Where?!

Rachel: ow, Ross I told you not to move.

Ross: (realising Rachel is on the ground) oh my god, sweetie I'm sorry. (helps her up) it's chandler's fault.

Chandler: sorry rach.

Rachel: that's ok you two. Are we the last ones to wake up?

Monica: yeah.

Joey: what did you do last night?

Ross: we slept straight, I was really tired.

Sarah: everyone was.

Ross: I'm going to get home and change, Rach, you coming?

Rachel: yea (they leave hand in hand)

Sarah: are those two in a serious relationship?

Monica: what do you think?

Sarah: I don't think so, (Monica, chandler and Joey looked at each other) if they were why would he let me hug him last night?

Chandler: yea, maybe they are not serious.

Joey: really? They seemed serious to me … (chandler glares at him) but maybe you're right.

Ross apartment. Rachel and Ross came in. Ross got into his room and came out wearing a nice suit.

Rachel: why are you dressed up?

Ross: I have a meeting in an hour.

Rachel: oh, I gotta go back to my place to change, you mind walking me there?

Ross: yea, (goes to her and puts his arm around her waist) what are boyfriends for? (smiles)

Rachel: (giggles) yea, urm, sweetie, can you do me a favour?

Ross: yea sure.

Rachel: can you plan going to lunch with Sarah today?

Ross: (let's go off her) what ? Rach, no, I don't want her rubbing my legs under the table and stuff.

Rachel: c'mon Ross, please? Do it for me.

Ross: Rach, how long do I have to do this?

Rachel: just today, tomorrow, when you go to Monica's place say that we had a fight and that we broke up. I won't be there until 9 , I'm not working tomorrow.

Ross: then what? I will be with her?

Rachel: correct. Please Ross.

Ross: I don't know what you trying to do here but it seems that you want to lose me to her.

Rachel: it's not a real break up! Just say we had a fight and broke up.

Ross: oh ok, yea I'll do it.

Rachel: (kisses his cheek) thanks (grabs his hands) c'mon. let's go.

They leave. The next day at Monica's . Sarah stayed for the night again and when Ross came in everyone was there except Rachel.

Ross: (like TOW The Pilot) Hi …

Monica: what's up Ross?

Ross: Rachel and I got into a huge fight and we just broke up. (sarah goes to him and gives him a hug)

Sarah: I'm so sorry …

Ross: nah, that's ok.

Chandler: you guys broke up?!!

Joey: he just told us, where have you been ?

Chandler glares at them.

Ross: see you later , I got to get to work but I want to get something to eat first. Sarah you wanna get breakfast with me?

Sarah: (smiles) yes, I'd love too. (they leave)

Chandler: they broke up?!!

Monica: relax, it's nothing.

Chandler: how could it be nothing?! (Rachel comes in) You broke up with Ross?!!

Rachel: (scared) No?

Joey: Ross told us Rach, so what happened?

Rachel: we didn't break up .

Joey: then why would he say that?

Rachel: it's a plan.

Monica: oh , you mean that plan.

Rachel: yea…

Chandler: what plan, tell me, (Joey looked at him) us.

Time lapse.

Chandler: oh..

Joey: aren't you worried if he is going to fall in love with Sarah?

Monica: with what Sarah is doing to jeopardise their relationship? I don't think so.

Rachel: he don't even liked her, he didn't want to do this, I had to talk it into him.

Joey: what ever Rach, I just hope you know what you're doing.

Chandler: since when do you talk like that?

Joey: I don't know, today?

Phoebe enter.

Chandler: pheebs, guess what, Ross and Rachel broke up.

Phoebe: What?!! Why?!!

Monica: chandler!

Chandler: haha, I was just having some fun.

Rachel: phoebe calm down, we did break up, it's just a plan.

Phoebe: oh that plan.

Rachel: what? How did you know?

Phoebe: monica told me.

Monica: sorry.

Rachel: nah , that's ok.

Time lapse. The gang were on the couch except for Joey who was on the arm chair. They were doing nothing. Ross and Sarah came in laughing…

Sarah: I got to go sweetie (kiss him) that's the first time I ever kissed you. Ok , bye.

Ross: okie dokie. (sarah leaves)

Rachel: may I ask, what was that?

Ross: (his laugh became like a crying sound) I don't know, you told me to get with her and now she got all excited. I'm telling you it's not a good feeling.

Rachel: (goes to him and hugs him) sweetie, I'm sorry. But you need to continue this for a while. To make it shorter, when ever you meet her you talk about me, the more you talk about me the more she will get frustrated and break up with you.

Ross: (breaks the hug) I know, I'll try my best. I really want her off my back for good.

Rachel: I know (kisses him passionately)

Phoebe: hello … we're here , you know?

Ross: (breaks) sorry. Uh, I gotta het to work. Bye. (it's lunch time)

Rachel: bye, see you tonight.

Ross: (kisses her quickly) bye. (leaves)

Monica: this is going to work right?

Rachel: well I hope so.
