Chapter 3: Big News

On Wednesday night Ross was sitting in his room getting ready for his date with Rachel. When he was done dressing and making sure he looked alright he grabbed something off the side table and ran outside to his Black Porsche. Tonight was his turn to pick where he and Rachel were going on their date. God, he thought, how perfect is this, tonight is also the day when we first exchanged gifts... promise rings. It will be even more perfect when I propose because I can say a year ago I promised to treat you right and now I promise to spend the rest of my life with you, no wait that sounds terrible. Better refine that before hand. But today is a promise day.

As Monica put the chicken in the oven the doorbell rang. "Coming... Chandler, how's life?" "Excellent and it just got better." "Oh, I have a sweet talker on my hands." "You bet" 'Why don't we go into the sitting room. I just put the chicken in; it should be done in about half hour." "That's great." "So Chandler, what made you get into acting." "Well when I was little my parents were a little out there but both very artistic and I guess I had the artistic ability that they had but I chose to channel it through acting, not through gay burlesque and erotic novels. What about you, what made you decide?" "Well I always thought the Hollywood life was so glamorous and always wanted to be an actress. So when I was in Junior High I tried out for my first play, I actually got a big part. It wasn't a lead, but it wasn't a one line wonder. Thought High School I kept acting and after High School I had the decision to go to college or take a risk and try my hand in acting. I decided to go to college at UCLA so that I could still try acting and go to school. You see I got my culinary masters, so I have a backup." "God you are much more prepared than I am, I don't even have a backup career." "Well I can always teach you to cook." "And then I would burn your kitchen down." "Oh my God, how do you come up with these little one liners." "Well I think it goes back to my parents artistic..." "Oh Chandler."

"So Ross, honey, where are we going tonight?" "Babe, I already told you it's a surprise." "But Ross, I don't like surprises." "Rach be patient, you'll find out soon enough." "Fine" And for the rest if the drive they sat in silence. When they reached a spot where they could look out into the March Sky they stopped. "Oh Ross, it's absolutely beautiful." After a picnic lunch and once they were sharing a piece of Cheese cake, Rachel's favorite, Ross got to one knee as Rachel starred in awe. "Rach these last two years together were the best two years of my life. I couldn't have asked for a more caring and beautiful girlfriend. I love it how when a fashion magazine comes in the mail your eyes get real big and glisten with excitement. I understand that you need time in the morning. But today the anniversary of our promise to stay true to each I promise once again my eternal love and your life long happiness. Rachel Green, Will you marry me? "Yes, of course. Oh Ross, I love you"

"So Monica, um I was wondering do you think that we should tell the public that we are dating." "Yea, I guess, I mean they will find out soon enough." "Yea we'll tell them tomorrow."

"A Hollywood power house couple engaged and two Hollywood hotties dating right now," said a very excited Dana Devons. Well we already know who those two couples are, thought Monica, I am not going to watch that. "Well America Chandler Bing is taken and it looks men you'll have no chance with the beautiful Monica Gellar." Oh God, she thought, and with that she turned the channel. "Actors Chandler Bing and Monica Gellar are officially a couple. Their reps confirmed to E today that yes they are going out. Also Monica's brother director Ross Gellar and his fashion designer girlfriend, Rachel Green are engaged. Rachel happens to be Monica's best friend. I guess the Gellar's have been having a very busy week." Oh Lord I am turning off the TV. Besides I have a date with Chandler I better go get ready.
