Ross kept looking at his watch. He wanted to make sure that everyone arrived but were hidden until Rachel was occupied somewhere else. Monica was the co conspirator on this Barbados wedding because she knew what Rachel would want if she was doing this herself. Putting on his sunglasses, he decided to wait until he got the call on his cell.

"Oh I could stay here forever." screamed Rachel. "The sun and the sound of the ocean is so relaxing. She got up from her chair and walked over to the surf. The tropical breeze billowed her blue sarong around her bikini. Her hair was tied back with a blue silk scarf.

"Why don't we? We'll send for Emma and live down here. I can dig for fossils and you can design clothes for the tourists." Ross laughed as he came up behind her. The wind blew his hair into his face.

"I'm serious, look at those skies and look how blue the ocean is." Rachel dipped her toe in the water. "The water is perfect. Nice and warm."

Ross snaked his arms around her and lifted her into the air. She giggled and kicked her bare feet as he walked out into the water. Rachel looked scared with every step he took. She knew what his plan was.

Throwing her into the foamy surf, Rachel went under and popped back again. "Okay Geller, this means war." she playfully said as she pushed the waves back and ran toward him. Her sarong soaked and her hair drenched, she bounced among the waves. He started to swim away , but wasn't quite fast enough. Rachel caught up with him and pushed his head under until he came up spouting water like a fish.

"That was funny, huh?" Ross said. "Payback's a bitch , Green." he said as he got up from the shallow surf. They walked out of the water and looked at each other. The sun reflected off of Rachel's golden hair blinding him . From the edge of the water, he could hear his phone ringing on the blanket.

"You brought your cell?" Rachel inquired.

"Yeah , there was some students that hadn't turned in their papers yet and I wanted to stay on top of things while I was here." Ross lied.

"Excuse me, sweetie."

Ross looked down at the phone and saw that Monica had text messaged their arrival as well as Joey's , and the Hannigans… He looked over at Rachel and ran his fingers through his wet hair. How in the hell was he going to get rid of her , so they could plan everything?

He knew he had to send her to do something on Saturday as well. Then he got the idea .

"Rachel, I want you to sign us for diving lessons." he said. "I have to call school and straighten out this mess, so while I am doing that why don't you go to that one instructor and sign us up for lessons."

"Ooh that sounds so exciting." Rachel squealed. "And then what ?"

"Well…… then we will go to dinner and then dancing. This is really important hon, a conference call." Ross said as he backed away.

"Since when do college professors get beeped on their vacation after the semester ends? And what is all this nonsense about papers?" Rachel started to suspect something now.

"They wanted extensions and they are begging for more time." he said further backing up. When he backed up over a stump of driftwood, he tripped. "Ow… that smarts." he said. Bracing one hand on the ground, he tried to stand on his sore ankle.

"Oww… Oww… Rachel, I think I twisted my ankle." he said as he held it in his hand. Once again he tried to get up and once again he fell. Rachel leaned down and he put his hand on her shoulder to brace himself.

"Gotta learn to be more careful" Rachel said as she walked him away. Again Ross looked at his watch, he had to get Rachel busy and he hoped that his ankle was alright. When Joey arrived, him and Monica were going to meet to go over the ceremony with Joey.

"I'm fine now, why don't you get us those lessons , okay?" Ross said as he moved away from her slowly. He was still limping.

"Okay but I don't want to do this unless you want to." Rachel said.

"I wanted to do this last time I was down here, but it rained the whole time and other things got in the way." Ross said. "Now I have got to take this call. I will see you in a bit." he leaned over and kissed her.

Monica stood in the lobby. Orgainizer in her hand, she greeted Ross.

"So it's my big brother's marriage number four." she said as she hugged him.

"Okay you are becoming more and more like Chandler every day. Did you get everything?" he asked.

Monica pulled out the dress still in it 's bag. It was an off the shoulder white dress that had a tea length train. The front was low cut enough, yet not totally trashy. "How's this?" she said holding it up.

"That is gorgeous. It looks like something she would pick out for herself."

"And these shoes I couldn't resist. They are crystal flip flops .I can picture her tucking a flower behind her ear as her hair hangs down."Monica sighed dreamingly. "Then I got these at the florist, I will give them to them at the front desk to be refrigerated. White calla lilies." she said as she pulled them from the bag. "What are you wearing?"

"A suit I guess." Ross answered.

"No I can picture you in an blue shirt with no tie. Very natural and casual. With white khakis and a flower lei around your neck." Monica envisioned.

"Monica, this is not Hawaii and I am not Elvis okay. But that might be very tropical though." Ross said.

"Yeah and then you can have Captain Stubing marry you two." laughed Chandler. "Congratulations dude." he said hugging Ross.

"I am so glad you guys are here." Ross said emotionally.

"Chandler where are the kids?" Monica asked.

"Relax they are with your mother. Emma is with Sandra while you two are having this little pow wow. So where is the future Mrs. Geller? Chandler said as he looked around.

"Occupied, I told her to sign us up for diving lessons." Ross said."That way when they are setting up on Saturday, Rachel will be under the water and the whole thing can stay a surprise. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to see my daughter. Remember Rachel can't know you are here or anything. " Ross said as he started for the elevator.

"This should be good, I bet she finds out before it." Chandler said.

"How much?" said Monica.

"If you win, fifty bucks and if I win anything I want in the bedroom." Chandler smiled.

"We are not going to back to the old apartment just for sex on the balcony." Monica screamed.

"Okay then fifty bucks." Chandler sulked.

Ross found Sandra's room and walked in. He found Emma on the floor playing with Hugsy.

"Well hello there princess, Daddy missed you. Yes he did." Ross said happily.

"Daddy, how you doin?" Emma giggled.

"She keeps saying that Ross and for the life of me , I can't understand why. I am so glad you are doing this for my baby." Sandra said as she hugged him.

"Thank you for being a part of this special day." Ross said. "She still has no idea. Right now she is signing us up for diving lessons."

"Yeah baby." she giggled again.

"She got that from Joey. She is going through this phrase where she picks up everything she hears." Ross explained.

"Once a cheater, always a cheater." Emma laughed again.

"Sandra, I thought we were all through with this." Ross said as he looked at her.

"Sorry it must have slipped." Sandra said as she shrugged her shoulders. "Please call me Mom."

Ross looked at his watch again. "Well Rachel should be done , so I had better get back. I am getting so tired from this running. I am going to need a vacation from this vacation."

Emma ran to her daddy's arms. "Daddy go?"

"Sweetie, Daddy can't be with you right now, cause we are giving mommy a big surprise and she can't know you're here yet, so you are going to stay with Grandma. But Daddy will tuck you in later okay?" Ross said as he kissed Emma. "See ya baby girl."

He headed back to the room. Rachel stood there as if she had seen a ghost.

"Ross I just saw the weirdest thing, in the gift shop , I thought I saw Phoebe." Rachel said.

Ross didn't know what to say.
