Okay, I lied. This isn't the last chapter, but the next one will be! However, this IS the chapter that all R&R supporters have been waiting for! Thanks for all your reviews as usual, they're so helpful! Sorry about Mark's last name, thanks to Cress for pointing it out. I almost caught the Friends last week, but sadly, they escaped, so they are still not mine. I'll shut up now. Here you go:
Scene: R&Rs apartment, Ross's bedroom. He is thinking out loud.
Ross – God, this is driving me crazy. What were they saying? What? Okay…Oh! Elizabeth told them that I had married Rachel…Why did she do that? Okay, back to the point Dr. Geller!… Then Emily asked why I hadn't gotten divorced sooner, and then…what?
(Starts pacing back and forth)
Ross – I can't remember it! Any of it! I remember thinking they might have been right. I remember thinking that a lot… (realizes) Oh my god! That's it! Emily asked why I hadn't divorced Rachel sooner, and Bonnie said I was still in love with her! That's it! Yes!…Oh my god! I'm still in love with Rachel!
Scene: R&Rs living room, phone is ringing.
Rachel – (Comes out of her bedroom and picks up the phone) Hello?
Phoebe – Rachel? It's me!
Rachel – Phoebe, what are you doing? It's like two in the morning!
Phoebe – I know! I just had to call and tell you!
Rachel – Tell me what?
Phoebe – I figured out what the dreams meant!
Rachel – Pheebs, I'm so tired! Can't you just tell me tomorrow?
Phoebe – Uh, no. So you and Ross both dreamed that all your past lovers showed up, but your subconscious left each other out, right?
Rachel – Um, yeah…ok.
Phoebe – Well then, it's so easy! You're obviously still in love with each other!
Rachel – WHAT!?!?
Phoebe – It's so obvious! You miss each other and want to get back together!
(Rachel doesn't notice Ross come out of his room)
Rachel – Phoebe, we do not! Yes, what Ross and I had was great, but it's not like that anymore!
Phoebe – But Rachel-
Rachel – No! I am not going to go down that path again! Look, we just don't love each other anymore! You have to accept that.
(Ross looks incredibly hurt. He doesn't see Rachel has tears streaming down her cheeks)
Phoebe – Okay Rachel. If that's what you want to believe, I'll let you. For now. But eventually, you're going to have to admit that it's true. (Hangs up)
(Ross goes back to his room, looking upset)
Rachel – (Quietly) One of us doesn't love the other anymore. But the other one does… God, I love him so much. (Laughs) Why do I always need Phoebe to make me realize it?
Scene: C&Ms apartment, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe and Joey are there.
Phoebe – It didn't work. I told her all about my theory, and she insisted it wasn't true.
Chandler – Maybe we should tell her my theory about dog food being healthier than broccoli, then she might be more open to yours.
Monica – I just wish they wouldn't be so stubborn! They're driving me crazy.
Chandler – And we all know it takes so much effort to do that!
Joey – I just wish there was something we could do…
Monica – NO. I have faith in Ross and Rachel, and I think they're going to find each other. But they need to do it without our help.
Phoebe – Well, us staying out of it hasn't always been a good idea in the past. Remember when Ross married Emily? We kept our mouths shut even though she was, like, this psycho, non-trusting freak, and it still ended badly. Maybe even worse.
Chandler – No guys, Monica's right. They need to do this without us.
Joey – Fine, but if it takes more than a year, I'm getting Rachel drunk so she can leave another message on his answering machine!
Phoebe – Or, you know, while we're at it, we can just get Ross drunk too and they'll get married again!
Chandler – Yeah! This time, when they wake up, they might just not want to make the effort of another divorce and stay married!
Monica – Fine, we'll do something that does NOT involve getting them drunk, but only if it takes forever.
Chandler – Actually, I have an idea…
Scene: R&Rs apartment. Rachel is on the couch.
Rachel – God, I hate it when this happens! Why does Phoebe always have to be right when it comes to Ross and me? Oh well, at least he's not getting married this time…Oh my god, what if he's getting married?!?
Ross – (entering) Rachel? I want to tell you something…
Rachel – You're getting married, aren't you!
Ross – No, I…(looks worried) Uh oh…I hope not…
Rachel – Okay. What did you want to tell me?
Ross – It's just…Have you been crying?
Rachel – Oh! No, it's just, um, I was chopping onions.
Ross – You expect me to believe that you cooked?
Rachel – Yeah! Where did you think that snack came from?
Ross – From a bag labeled "Oreo"? If you're putting onions in your cookies, we might have to get you checked at the doctor.
Rachel – (Smiling) At your pediatrician?
Ross – I told, you, I don't go there anymore!
Rachel – Anyway, what did you what to tell me?
Ross – Oh, right, that. Uh, Rach, I know you don't feel the same way about me, but…
Rachel – What?
Ross – (Nervous) Well, I, uh, figured out the thing in the dream!
Rachel – Oh, that's good! What was it?
Ross – Well, they, uh, kept saying, um, that I was still in love with you.
Rachel – Well, that's crazy! Isn't it?
Ross – (Pauses)
Scene: C&Ms apartment
Chandler – So what do you guys think?
Phoebe – Brilliant! That's perfect!
Joey – Yeah, great thinking!
Phoebe – Come on Monica, let us do it! It's not really interfering!
Joey – And we're not getting them drunk!
Monica – Well…okay. We'll wait a few minutes to make sure the moment's perfect…
Chandler – And then I'll do it!
Joey – Why does Chandler get to do it?
Chandler – Because it was my idea!
Joey – Oh! Just asking.
Scene: R&Rs apartment, continued from earlier.
Ross – (Pauses) Well…
Rachel – Oh my god. It's not crazy?
Ross – No. It's the opposite of crazy. It's very true.
Rachel – Oh my god. It's true…the opposite of crazy…what?
Ross – Okay, look. I love you Rach. I realized it when I thought about the dream. Dream Bonnie was absolutely right. I have always loved you. And I don't care if you don't feel the same way about me, I just had to get it out.
Rachel – Whoa! Who said I don't feel the same way about you?
Ross – Come on Rachel, I heard you talking to Phoebe. You said there was no way we would ever get back together…
Rachel – Oh my god, you heard that? I'm sorry…I didn't mean any of it! I mean, I didn't think we would ever get back together, but I did love you…I do love you…I just didn't think you felt the same, so I didn't say anything.
Ross – Really? Wow. Us and our stupid pride. We never say anything.
Rachel – I know. Well, we did this time.
Ross – Yes. And there's no one to get in our way. No Italian guys-
Rachel – Or British control freaks-
Ross – Or ex-fiances-
Rachel – Or cat-loving paleontologists-
Ross – Or Bloomingdale's co-workers-
Rachel – Or copy girls. (They both laugh)
Ross – Nope. Just us. In reality, anyway…
Rachel – Yep. Nobody else. At least, until Emma comes home tomorrow…
Ross – So, we have the night to ourselves.
Rachel – (Suddenly quiet) Yes we do.
(They move closer and closer… until finally, they kiss)
Scene: C&Ms apartment
Chandler – (Hanging up the phone) I did it.
Phoebe – Great. You guys want to go watch?
Monica – You know, we probably shouldn't, it's going to be this nice, private moment…
Joey – So what are we waiting for?
Scene: Back to R&Rs
(They are still kissing when the song on the radio stops and the announcer comes on)
Announcer – Hey! This is dedicated to a very special couple that their friends hope will always be together. Here we go.
("With or Without You" begins to play. Ross and Rachel break)
Ross – Hey!
Rachel – Oh my god! How perfect is that!
Ross – You don't think…
(They go to the window and open the curtain to reveal the other four across the street staring at them through the window. They quickly duck, causing Ross and Rachel to crack up.)
Rachel – I can't believe them! That was so great!
Ross – Always be together.
Rachel – Yes. Always.
(They kiss again, and we see Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey cheering)
Rachel – (Breaks) Wait! What about all that "We were on a break" crap? Won't we just start it up again?
Ross – Well, I think you described it very well as "crap". But I for one am willing to forget about it.
Rachel – You're right. Let's pretend it never happened.
Ross – It doesn't matter anyway. We weren't really on a break…
Rachel – (Smiling) Yes, we were.
Ross – (Laughs) No, we weren't!
Rachel – Yes we were! (They crack up and kiss again)
Scene: The next morning, very early. C&Ms apartment. There is an urgent knock on the door.
Chandler – (Comes out of the bedroom) Coming! (Looks at his watch) Six am! Jeez… (opens the door)
Person – Well hello Chandler Bing!!! Hahahahahahaha!
Chandler – (Slams the door shut) Oh my god! (Pinches himself on the arm) Ow! Damnit!
Heehee! Hopefully you all got who was at the door. Thanks a lot for reading this, and PLEASE take a few seconds and review it. The next chapter really WILL be the last one, I'll post it soon!
Chandler – I win, you suck, Holland loves Chandler thank you Amsterdam good night!!
