Ross ran after Rachel in the hallway.. She couldn't face him and ran down the stairs to their car. He followed her as she slammed the door in his face.
"Sweetie, you got to uh understand uhm I had no idea ." Ross tried to explain.
"I thought this was all in the past, I thought I could trust you and the same whore, Ross." Rachel said as she pulled away in the car. "I can't even look at you right now."she said in tears. Then she was gone.
Ross went back up the stairs to his apartment. He entered the door and slowly walked over to the three conspirators, calmly he said, "Chandler , Joey come here." "Why don't I just stay right here?" laughed Chandler nervously. "No I want you to come here I need to talk to you." Ross demanded with a soft , but threatening voice. Joey and Chandler had seen this look before, it was "Red Ross." and they were very afraid.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?" "Do you idiots realize that there may not be a wedding now?' yelled Ross.
Chandler and Joey pushed Michael in front of them, "Michael how could you?" Joey said ashamed.
Michael just looked at them as they tried to push the blame on him.
"I don't know what I am going to do, I don't even know if she will even let me explain." Ross sat down and put his head in his hands. "I don't know what will happen if I lose her again." he cried.
At that moment, Monica burst through the door with Phoebe with her. "Chandler Muriel Bing, you had better have a damn good explanation for this.
Chandler was at a loss for words, "Well you see it was Joey's idea…and
Joey 's eyes were wide opened as Chandler blamed him for the stripper idea.
"Joseph Francis Tribbiani, I will kick your ass if this was your idea." screamed Phoebe.
Michael cleared his throat and spoke up, "Well the stripper was Uncle Joey's idea , but I was the one who booked her and this girl came highly recommended and…."
Chandler try to save himself, "You see honey, this is a time honored tradition and I wanted your brother to see how much we love him and…
Monica interrupted, "Stuff a sock in it Bing! She walked over to her brother in the corner. "Okay we may still be able to do some damage control, so I want you to go and talk to your future wife." After Ross grabbed his coat, she walked over to Chandler, "And you mister! I want you to go with him and apologize to Rachel for another one of your major screw ups." Chandler started to get up then sat back down,"Monica what if she doesn't want to listen to reason?" he asked nervously.
Monica walked over to Chandler and looked him in the eye, "She'd better, Mr. Bing , or Ross isn't the only one isn't the only one who isn't going to be getting any. Do you understand?" Monica threatened.
"Yes dear," he weakly answered. Joey and Michael stood and laughed at how wimpy their friends were being bossed around by a woman.
Phoebe stood over Joey with an angry look in her eye. "You are going to go and apologize as well, since the stripper was your idea!" she put his head in a headlock and dragged him to the other waiting car. Michael stood as his mother dragged him by the ear,"Let's go Michael!" Gina droned.
Back at Monica's, Rachel was sitting on the bed. Her eyes were full of tears as she looked at the wedding gown that hung on the door. All her life she dreamed of the day she would finally walk down the aisle to the man of her dreams. She just felt right now like she did the night of the fight, she never wanted to see him again because he had hurt her so bad. Suddenly there was a commotion outside. Rachel wanted to know what was going on. She heard cars and yelling and then a door slam. It took her seconds to realize who was in the house.
"Rachel I can explain," a familiar voice whined.
"You are the last person on this Earth I want to talk to Ross Geller. The wedding is off. I never want to see your miserable cheating face again." she started to wail. " My child's father is dead to me."
"Okay are you happy Monica? She won't even talk to me." Ross yelled.
"We'll see about that," Monica dragged Chandler to the door. "Rachel will you at least talk to Chandler? He has something to explain to you." she yelled. "Get in there." she ordered him.
Chandler slowly walked in the room as he saw Rachel sitting on the edge of the bed. "Rach, there's something I have to say. You know that girl, the stripper, we had no idea it was going to be Chloe. Joey's nephew , Michael found her on the Internet and as a joke she was supposed to dress up as a sorority girl, you know since Ross is a college professor. He had no idea at all we were doing this." Chandler took Rachel's hand.
Joey came in the room next, "Honest Rachel, we had no idea. You are one of my dearest friends and I would never hurt you in a million years." he said.
Michael was the last to enter, "It was not my intention to cause this much chaos, Miss Green, it was just a little male bonding fun. And besides ." as he looked over. "It was Uncle Joey's idea, not your fiances." Joey looked over as Michael said that.
"Leave it to my brother , the perv,." said Gina. "Get over here!" she muttered. "Rachel my brother just wanted to see naked girls , a little harmless fun. Don't blame him, he's just stupid." Gina took the back of her hand and hit Joey in the head. "Say you're sorry Joey."
Joey whined, "I am sorry Rach, I am Joey , I am disgusting, I love to look at hot naked girls."
Rachel stood up and dried her eyes, "Ross get in here." Slowly he walked back into the bedroom. "Is this all true, you knew nothing about the stripper?"
Ross took her hand, "Rachel I would never do anything to hurt you again. You mean too much to me to make dumb mistakes. I know I cheated on you once, but I learned my lesson and it almost cost me everything. You are the only woman I want to be with for the rest of my life." he softly said as he kissed her hand.
Rachel began to cry, "I love you Ross." she hugged him and then she started to kiss him.
"Alright , alright show's over , let's leave these two lobsters to make up." Phoebe said as everyone walked out of the guest room.
