After just leaving Central Perk, Rachel was crying. Her first thought was canceling work to try to decide what to do. But Rachel just needed to get away from it. It was surreal, what could have been. She hit herself on the head and went off to work.
Rachel was at work, and in a very important meeting. Though she couldn't stop thinking about Ross and the proposal that unfortunately didn't take place. 'We would be married by now' she thought.
Scene fades to the night of the break:
Ross: Is this about Mark?
Rachel: (shocked) Oh my God.
Ross: Okay, it's not, it's not.
Rachel: Oh my God. I cannot keep having this same fight over and over again, Ross, no, you're, you're, you're making this too hard.
Ross: Oh I'm, I'm making this too hard. Okay, what do you want me to do.
Rachel: I don't know, I don't know. Maybe we should just take a break.
Ross: you right, let's get some frozen yogurt or something.
Rachel: No, a break from us.
Ross: What? Rachel we can't. Look, I am sorry. But you have to understand that I have feelings too. When I see you and Mark together, I just feel like he is taking you away from me, and now this job. It's like if one more thing comes in the way. Than we would be through.
(Rachel sighs and sits down next to Ross)
Rachel: Okay, honey. I understand. We'll be okay. (She kisses him)
But you have to know that Mark, shouldn't be a problem. Sweetie, I don't like him. I love you so much. I wish I could show you how much. Just can we start to celebrate?
Ross: yes. Rachel, I thought maybe we could go to the planetarium.
Rachel: why?
Ross: I thought it would be nice. Plus I set up dinner there for us.
Rachel: Okay, sweetie.
Ross: Meet me there?
Rachel: yeah, okay. Love you.
Ross: I do more. (They kiss like in TOW No one is ready)
(Ross leaves)
Rachel snaps back to reality. She is sitting in the meeting. 'I better start to pay attention' she thought. 'How would the proposal go?' she thought.
Planetarium
We see Rachel coming in and Ross on one knee. The way you look tonight is being played on the speakers. In the stars there is written, "Will you marry me?"
The dream Rachel says yes, and Ross gives her the ring that is now in the real Rachel's pocket. They dance than we hear:
"Rachel, how do you like the proposal?"
Rachel snaps back and noticed her boss was asking her a question "How did you like the proposal". Rachel replies dreamingly "it was beautiful" Rachel than starts to develop tears in her eyes. "May, I be excused to the bathroom?" Rachel asks.
On her way to the bathroom, she decided that she needed to go home and think. So, she begged Phoebe to call and pretend it was Sandra (Rachel's mother) to get her out of work. She needed to talk to someone about this. She considered Monica, but Phoebe was always the most supportive of the Lobsters.
Rachel's and Joey's apt
Rachel and Phoebe were the only ones there. She just told her about the engagement ring, the break, and the daydreams.
"Interesting" Phoebe said. Than continued "Rachel do you have feelings for Ross?"
"I don't know. I mean I really like him, but as a friend. I just don't know anymore. Everything is so complicated." Rachel answered. "Sweetie, you do. That's why everything's so complicated. Even if you don't get together now. You will, your lobsters" Phoebe replied doing the claws again. Rachel smiled. Phoebe could always make her laugh.
Scene fades out when we see Emily outside the door of Joey and Rachel's apt and she just heard everything.
Now we see Emily talking to Ross at his apartment.
"I am really sorry Ross" Emily said sympathetically. "That's what she did. She took the ring and broke and said that she didn't care, because it was way to early to get married?" Ross said with tears in his eyes. "Yes, oh, and the letter. She ripped it. I can show you it if you want." Emily said lying. "No, I don't want to see it" Ross said. "I am really sorry Ross. I guess she didn't love you as much as you thought she did."
Maybe, it was true. Maybe he did need to move on. "Emily, thank you for telling me." "No problem, Ross. If you need me at anytime just call this number" Emily said giving him a piece of paper with her uncles phone number on it. Than Emily left smiling.
When she left, Ross felt a rage inside. He took his hand a made it into a fist and hit the wall. Than regretting what he did buy screaming "Oww". But that didn't hurt nearly as much as what Emily just told him. He needed to move on. Rachel deserved to be happy, and from what Emily had told him. Rachel wasn't happy when she was with him. He couldn't believe it. But it was true. He needed to leave it in the past.
We change scene to Rachel and Phoebe talking.
"You have to tell him," Phoebe said. "Couldn't I just write him an e-mail?" Rachel said scared. "Rachel!" Phoebe warned. "I will, just not now." Rachel said unconvincingly. "When?" Phoebe asked. "In a couple of years" Rachel answered. Than continued
"Okay, fine. I will go tonight"
TONIGHT
Rachel looked very beautiful. She had to impress her man. She practiced her speech all the way to Ross apartment. Than she got to the door fixed her hair and knocked on it.
Ross answered. "Rachel, hi. What are you doing here?" Ross asked. "I need to tell you something"
A woman coming into the living room interrupts Rachel. "Ross, I love your apartment". Rachel looks devastated. She looked like someone just ripped her heart out and trampled on it. "Oh, I didn't know you had company" Rachel said. "Oh, yeah. Sorry. Michelle, this is Rachel. Rachel this is Michelle." Ross said, introducing them. To Rachel it was like saying, 'Rachel meet your next enemy.'
Rachel just stood there and than said, "I got to go" Rachel left, and Ross just stood there confused.
