"Okay Joe, this is what I am going to need." Ross said as he wrote down in his little notebook.
"Stevie Wonder huh? Are you sure you wouldn't be happier with Brittany Spears or J Lo? " he asked.
"No , it has to be Stevie Wonder. I am asking this of you because you are a big star now and I know you would do this for Rachel. Remember you owe me for proposing to her and breaking my hand." Ross said.
"No, that was your own fault for not ducking dude." Joey laughed." Besides I love Rachel, no no that isn't what I mean." he said realizing the mistake he made. "I love her like a sister."
"Don't come in until the sixth, we are coming to Barbados a few days early so I can set everything up. Rachel thinks we are just going there for our anniversary , she has no idea." Ross laughed.
"I think it's great you guys are finally getting married. Hey maybe when we are down here, you and I can go snorkeling and find that turtle when you blow bubbles at it , it chases you." Joey said excitedly.
"Joey , after the wedding. Don't take it personally but I think I want to spend all my time with her. Okay?" Ross said.
"Yeah, hey maybe I'll bring my new girl friend, Alex. She is smart and hot and fun." said Joey. Gina overheard from the kitchen. "Joey Tribbiani, you are not taking Blondie to Barbados! You are taking me!"
"Or maybe I'll just take my sister." he said looking at her as she put her hands on the hips of her low rise jeans. "Gina would you like to go to Barbados for a wedding?"
Alex came running through the room. "Ooh I love weddings., even though my marriage to that cheat Eric didn't work out. Who's getting married?" Alex asked happily.
"Joey , are you still there?" asked Ross as he heard voices in the background.
"My best friends Ross and Rachel are getting married in Barbados on the 6th, that is the day she got off the plane, well it's a long story that I'll tell you later. Alex would you like to go with me." asked Joey.
Gina cleared her throat.
Joey sighed , "Would you like to come with me and Gina to Barbados?" he said disgustingly as he looked at Gina.
Michael came out of the bedroom. "Barbados, there are some fascinating mineral specimens that can be found in the Caribbean."
"Hey Ross , make that four more for your wedding. Alex, Gina, me , and my nephew Michael." Joey said. "I'll pay." Alex grabbed Joey and started to kiss him. "I got to hang up now Ross, you'd understand. I'm there." he said as he hung up the phone and took Alex in his arms.
Ross turned to Chandler. "Well now we have our minister. The hotel is booked, I've called everyone. Flights are booked. I don't think I have overlooked anything." he said as he closed his little book.
"Have you thought about a ring?" asked Chandler.
"Well no , I guess I am going to have to buy an engagement ring and a wedding ring, oh and one for me." Ross said.
"Don't you have a drawer full of those from your past weddings?" snickered Chandler.
"I knew you were going to do this. Dude as my best man, I need you to come with me to pick out the rings and spare me the divorce jokes." Ross begged.
"I would be glad to come ring shopping with you." Chandler said as he put his arm around Ross' shoulder. The two guys walked out the door of Chandler's house and got in the car.
"Who would have ever guessed that I would be marrying Rachel Green? I certainly never dreamed this when I was in high school." Ross said as he drove down the road.
"You keep forgetting that you were already married and divorced to her." said Chandler.
"You know what I mean." said Ross agitated.
"Well what kind of ring do you have in mind? And please may I remind you if that means the Hope Diamond or the Heart of the Ocean, my wife , your sister will have me for lunch if Rachel's ring is bigger than hers. "
"I am not scared of Monica. I am bigger than her now." said Ross confidently.
"Dude she could still kick both of our asses. She's freakishly strong." Chandler said weakly.
As they headed into the jewelry store, they noticed a familiar and terrifying face.
"No, no, no." said Chandler terrified.
"Hello my little Bing a ling." said Janice.
"Hello Janice." Chandler cried through his teeth. "What are you doing here.?"
"Well Sid was sued for malpractice so I had to get a job and I thought what would be a better job than working around jewelry." she explained. "What can I show you guys?" she said.
"This is a nightmare." exclaimed Chandler as he turned to Ross.
"Well I need an engagement ring , and a man and woman's wedding bands." said Ross.
"So Chandler, you finally come out of the closet? " she laughed with her laugh "Heh Heh heh!"
"You are going to owe me so big!" said Chandler to Ross.
"No Janice they're for me. Rachel and I are getting married on the sixth of May." Ross explained. "We're getting married in Barbados."
"That is so romantic and I am so glad that you are not going to let that poor woman raise that adorable baby alone. I told her in the hospital what was going to happen when you met someone else and then she would be all alone. I am so glad that you are finally going to be together." Janice said happily.
It finally dawned on Ross that the whole Joey proposal mess was because of what Janice had said.
"Wait a minute Janice, are you saying that you told Rachel I would leave her and Emma when I found someone else?" Ross said angrily.
"Well yeah, but that is beside the point, you guys are getting married. And that is why I am going to show you this beautiful set." Janice said as she pulled it from the counter. "Notice the sparkling two karat diamond and the matching platinum bands."
"YOU are the reason that she was engaged to Joey!" screamed Ross.
"Past history dude! Past history dude!" Chandler said as he tried to calm down his brother in law.
"Is he going to be alright?" asked Janice scared.
"Yes he is, as soon as I get him some cotton candy. Save the rings Janice we'll be back." Chandler said as he dragged Ross from the jewelry.
"I went through hell because of you!" he screamed. "She kissed Joey and gave out her phone number to strange men. Mark got her a job in Paris ."
"Dude it's going to be alright." Chandler said as they went into a bar next door. "My good woman, five shots of whiskey." he said to the obviously male bartender. "Just relax Ross, just relax. Maybe later you can take a bubble bath." Chandler suggested. "Just be careful with the salts though."
