Rachel stood looking in front of the mirror getting ready for her and Ross' date that was in 1 hour, later on this Friday evening, she was so excited and surprisingly nervous. She had to look perfect, but not overly done. We all know Rachel she is very picky and particular.

"Rachel, are you ready for tonight?" Melissa asked

"What's tonight?"

"Remember we're going shopping for like our prom dresses!" Melissa screeched

"Oh that, yeah I cant come"

"What, have you lost your mind, have you gone crazy? You used to love shopping! Now you just can't come? Where is our old popular sweet Ray Ray?"

Melissa was at the point of having her hair blow her scalp and her head fall off her neck, she really was ultrasonic, and insane. What had gotten in to her, wait what had gotten in to me was I really so head over heels for Ross that I forgot what was important? Wait…are these kind of people that important to me, should I move on with my life?

"Would you just calm down? I am still me jeez, I just have a date"

"Oh my god, well that is like a totally different matter"

"You mean you have cancelled plans with us, your best friends, just to go to the movies and make out with a guy?"

"Phoebe, would you stop getting all you know twirling, floppy and technical on us? Anyway Ray Ray who is he?" Melissa retorted

"Ross, Ross Gellar"

"The hunk we both saw you with in the hallway?" the 2 girls said in unison, they were almost speechless

"You, that's him…, any way girls I have to go now, see you later"

"Can you believe that?" Melissa breathed like a mouse

"I know she just left us standing here in the middle of the washroom in front of the #4 toilet cubicle, without a hug good bye"

"Whatever, she has never not hugged us good bye, even before a date!"

"She is so shallow"

"It's pay back time," Phoebe said under her breath

Rachel was on her way to Monica's and Ross' she wanted to ask Monica if she looked good for her date and "Damn" she whispered she still had ask Monica if it was okay, she dated Ross, Monica's brother.

"Oh well that can wait till later"

She was so happy, that she was going out on a date with Ross. She wanted to get to know the new Ross a lot better. Rachel was dressed in a black skirt, with a turquoise top, her and Ross were going dancing. Ross had wanted to pick her up, but they thought it would be better for no one to find out about them, so she would walk to his house, and meet outside of it.

"Okay, breathe, breathe. Good" Hitch told Ross, while Ross was leaning over the toilet. "Ross, remember this is the first date, don't look at her mouth, don't look at her breasts, and the dancing. We have got to work on that". Ross got up, and brushed his teeth. Then got a towel and said "I know man, I know. It's just; I have waited so long, for this day to come. And it came, and she wants to go dancing. The one thing I suck at! What if she laughs at me, or something?" Hitch put his hand on Ross' shoulder and said "It's okay, just remember what I taught you, and you will be fine. She is coming any minute, you look great, and well you smelt great, take a mint. Then you will be fine."

Ross took a mint, and then the doorbell rang. "Ross said to Hitch. "I am ready". "Let's go team Gellar" He continued. "Okay, Ross you know I like you right? But don't say that ever again!" Ross smiled and went to go open the door. To his surprise, it wasn't Rachel. It was Melissa.

Ross stood there confused. "Hey, Melissa right?" Ross asked. Melissa smiled and said "Right, sexy. Well, Rachel told me to tell you to meet at her at Club Ice, she couldn't come pick you up, and she's sorry. She would of called you, but Monica could have picked up the phone." Ross sighed and said "Okay, let's go".

Then Ross and Melissa left, while Monica watched from the window. 10 minutes later Rachel arrived at the house and knocked on it. Monica answered. "Rachel, hey. Wow, you look great!" Rachel smiled and said. "Is Ross here?" Monica replied "No, he went out with Melissa. I guess his look his giving him extra points. Huh." Rachel gasped and then yelled. "He's going out with Melissa?" Monica stood there confused. "Yeah, why?" Rachel felt tears form in her eyes. Then she left to the club.

Ross and Melissa were sitting at one of the tables. Then Melissa reached out and rubbed Ross' hand and asked. "So, you and Rachel, huh?" Ross removed her hand, and said "yeah, I hope so." "So, you really like her popularity, don't you?" Then Melissa took a sip of her drink. Ross smiled and said "No, I love her. I don't care about her popularity. I love her, she is beautiful and smart and everything I want in a girl". Melissa moved closer to Ross and asked. "So, you think she is sexy, right?" Ross chucked at her question then nodded. Melissa pushed herself against Ross and said "Well, I think you're sexy. Baby!" Then she kissed him, and stuck her tongue in his mouth.

Ross pushed away, and got up, gave Melissa an evil stare, and then turned to get out of the club. Then he saw Rachel standing there. He opened his mouth and said "Rach, thank God you here. Can you believe what she just did?" Rachel felt like crying. After she got enough power to barley whisper something she said, "I hope you two are very happy together!" Then she turned around and left. Ross chased after her, but the club was so crowed that he couldn't catch up to her.

When Rachel arrived home, she washed all the make up off her face. Then she sat on her bed, and wondered. It was wrong, for him to do that, but they weren't a couple. He didn't cheat on her. But how come it felt like he did?

Rachel got in her PJ's and was about to hop into bed when she heard a rack hit her window. It was Ross.
