Scene: Joey & Rachel's, Ross runs in

Rachel: oh my God Ross what's wrong?

Ross: I just saw Joey kissing Charlie!

Rachel: what!

Ross: believe it, I went into the coffee house to meet Charlie for a date and I came in and saw them kissing

Rachel: Joey & Charlie kissed?

Ross: yea I am so mad at them, well more so at Joey I mean he knew I liked her

Rachel: oh my God Joey kissed Charlie!

Ross: Rach are you O.K?

Rachel: I'm just disappointed for you, not me

Ross: I really liked Charlie and even though I knew she liked Joey a bit so do all of my girlfriends (she looks at him) at the start of the relationship (Joey enters)

Joey: Ross I am so sorry

Rachel: you should be!

Ross: how could you man!

Joey: it was an accident, I never meant for it too happen

Rachel: it's the same with Emma but it did happen and you have to deal with it!

Ross: Rach relax I can fight my own battles

Rachel: I know you can and so can I

Joey: look guys I am sorry to both of you!

Ross: why are you apologising to Rachel?

Rachel: because he obviously realises that I am so disappointed in him for betraying you!

Joey: look Ross please don't be mad

Ross: oh too late I am! I'll see you later Rachel

Joey: Ross what about me?

Ross: just leave me alone Joey! (He leaves)

Rachel: who the hell do you think you are!

Joey: a guy who can be easily forgiven

Rachel: not in my books! How could you, I just told you that I loved you and you go off and cheat on me!

Joey: look that night you told me about your feelings I was trying to score with Charlie, I really like her Rach and then I went into the coffee house and we started talking and we just clicked but I never meant to hurt you or Ross

Rachel: oh so you can apologise after you cheated on me and everything's better is it!

Joey: technically we weren't going out so I didn't cheat on you, technically

Rachel: but we love each other!

Joey: well I never told you I loved you, you just assumed I did

Rachel: so what are you saying?

Joey: Rachel I did love you, so much, but I got over you and that was hard and it's just too hard to love you again but I'll always love you as a friend

Rachel: but I love you

Joey: look its better you hear this now, I know its hard I was in your shoes last year but you get through it and anyways even if I did love you we'd still have to deal with Ross

Rachel: I don't care about Ross I care about you

Joey: no see deep down you'll always care for Ross and with you I can't be second best

Scene: Ross's apartment, Rachel enters

Rachel: hi how are you holding up?

Ross: I could be better

Rachel: Ross I have to tell you something because I'd rather you hear it from me than from someone else

Ross: Rachel now's not a great time for these kind of things

Rachel: oh I know but I just have to tell you, I am (pause) I think I'm in love with Joey

Ross: what?

Rachel: I think I'm in love with Joey

Ross: no you either love him or you don't, there's no thinking!

Rachel: oh in that case then I am in love with him

Ross: but you're Rachel and he's Joey

Rachel: yea I realise that

Ross: so have you told him yet?

Rachel: yea I did but he doesn't love me and also I think you should know he said that even if he did love me he wouldn't do anything about it because of you

Ross: he really said that (Charlie enters)

Charlie: hey Ross I, oh Rachel you're here

Ross: could you wait outside for a second?

Charlie: sure but we'll be late for dinner (she leaves)

Rachel: you're going out with her again!

Ross: we're just talking

Rachel: so I guess I'll head home now

Ross: wait Rachel (he kisses her, she doesn't stop him)

Rachel: what was that?

Ross: a test to see if the spark is still there

Rachel: and is it?

Ross: its still there Rach

Rachel: but why did you kiss me?

Ross: I can't fight my feelings

Rachel: oh Ross I don't think we should

Ross: you kissed back, is it still there for you?

Rachel: well Ross its you, I'll always feel something for you

Ross: but Rach I think we should try again, I've been thinking about it for a while now, in fact I even tried to forget about you by dating Charlie but it won't go away

Rachel: what won't go away?

Ross: (holds her hand) my love for you, before you say anything I want you to think about giving us another try for Emma's sake at least

Rachel: but what about Joey?

Ross: the spark is still there for us, your feelings for him will go

Rachel: but until they do you'll go out with me knowing I still like him

Ross: I'll wait till they go, I'll always wait for you

Rachel: God you're right!

Ross: about what?

Rachel: about the spark, its there, it's strong and no matter what we do it'll always be there

Ross: so are we?

Rachel: we're going to give it one heck of a try and this time I know we won't fail (Charlie enters)

Charlie: Ross can we go now?

Ross: no I can't go

Charlie: why not?

Ross: because I'm taken now

Rachel: bye Charlie (she pushes her out) that was easy

Ross: whatever (he kisses her passionately) would you just wait here for a second?

Rachel: O.K (he leaves and comes back in a few minutes later) what's wrong?

Ross: nothings wrong and (nervous) that's why I have to do this (gets down on one knee) Rachel Karen Greene I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?

Rachel: oh my God!

Ross: (in his head) please say yes, please say yes
