Ross and Rachel stood facing each other as one of Mongo's henchman tied them together. He wrapped a rope around as Ross was wearing a black shirt and pants and Rachel had on a white tee shirt with a bikini bottom.

"This is so unoriginal. What did you steal this from Mongo? Some James Bond movie?' Ross chided him.

As a matter of fact I did, and just as the villain did in this movie. I am going to drag your two bodies against the coral allowing to be cut from the friction and then there will be blood and the sharks can have a feast." Mongo said. "But the important thing is that you two lovers will die together and I will be rid of both of you."

Rachel looked at Ross with panic in her eyes."What are we going to do?" she asked scared. Ross took control of the situation. "When we hit the water, I want you to kiss me." He said calmly. "I realize we will be drowned , but do you think this is the right time?" Ross whispered in her ear. "If we kiss, we can save our breath time when we go under. How long can you hold your breath?"

"I guess about five or six minutes." She answered surely. "Then we need to hold it until I can get us loose and then we can swim away." Ross said. "How are you going to do that?" Rachel asked. "I just need some time to figure that out." The pair looked over and saw that the rope was coiled on the floor of the boat . Mongo went to the engine room and started the engine. Ross and Rachel looked back as Mongo started to drive the boat and the rope began to uncoil.

"This looks like this is it." Cried Rachel as her eyes were open with terror.

"As 007 said, we're not dead yet. Just remember when you hit the water start kissing and then kick your legs." Ross said as he placed his arms around her and hugged her even tighter.

"Good bye Mr. and Mrs. Fredricks." Mongo called as he drove the boat away.

"That just proves what you know, that's not even our real names. " Rachel yelled.

"Oh I know who you are, professor, and believe me I will finally be rid of you." Screamed Mongo. The rope continued to unravel. Rachel closed her eyes as they began to feel the pull of the rope around them. "Remember what I said." Ross said softly. "Okay now!" He pushed his lips to hers and she began to kiss his lips as well. The rope had now succeeded in pulling them into the water and then under. Still connected by their lips , their hair was lifted up by the weightless ness of the water and bubbles poured from them. With astounding speed, they hit the coral as it ripped their clothes and skin. Ross tried to position them to hit it at the right angle so the rope could come apart.

"Another go." Mongo screamed as his henchman turned the boat around. Rachel wanted to stop kissing, but Ross pulled her head back to his and continued to kiss her. The pair was pulled through again as the boat drove through the coral. The rope was now a little looser. Ross felt down and saw he had a knife. With all his might, he cut the ropes and then the two of them were free. Mongo could not know they had escaped, so Ross motioned for them to swim deeper. Rachel pointed to her watch as the bubbles poured from her mouth. Taking another breath , Ross blew into her mouth. She nodded and away they swam.

Ross knew they had to surface fast. They had been down for at least three minutes. He pointed up and then took Rachel's hand as they made an assent to the surface.

"I never thought we were going to get out of that alive." Said Rachel as she breathed in the fresh air when she surfaced.

"Well now we need to find Tangie." Ross said as he swam on the top of the water obviously now out of breath.

Tangie was now in the custody of Natasha. Still in her wet suit, Natasha held the gun in Tangie's back. Her dive mask was resting on her forehead as she slowly stripped off the tank and weight belt.

"Now Agent Maxwell, you aren't so smug are you?" Natasha said threatingly. Tangie knew she had to do something. If she overpowered her, she still didn't know how she would escape, if she used her homing device it would alert Natasha that she was trying to get out.

After a clean shower and boat ride back to their hotel , Ross was putting in codes into the computer. "Anything yet?" Rachel said as she dried her hair with a towel. "No , Tangie obviously is trying to maintain silence. There is only two places I can figure , Mongo's fortress or the sub." Ross tried to reason.

"Haven't we been in the water enough? I feel like we are doing a remake of the Deep." Moaned Rachel.

"Mongo is part of the smuggling ring, that was our original assignment to break up that ring. " Ross said.

"And then we found out that the smuggling ring was just a cover to a bigger operation. Mongo was trying to get rid of us."

"Mongo has been trying to get rid of me for years. I am not scared of him or his underwater army. " Ross said as he continued to figure out where she would be. "I have already tried every code, " he said frustrated.

"Here let me. I know you are the electronics and computer man, but why don't I try this."Rachel leaned over and put the word "Dolphin." In the computer. The code was broken.

"Operation Dolphin." Ross said as he read the computer. "This is what Mongo was talking about. To be able to submerge land for the purpose of making a man made reef. He wants to use this to sink land so he can control the world from his fortress."

"Sounds like he had much bigger plans We have got to destroy that fortress." Ross said as he opened his bag and then took out an explosive device. "We plant this and then Mongo is history along with his army of underwater henchman, including that black widow , Natasha."

"But what about Tangie? She is still being held down there." Rachel reminded her partner.

"We'll rescue her first. You'll do that and I 'll set the timer on the device. Then after that we are going to have to get the hell out of there. On the scooters, probably."

On the boat, Ross helped Rachel put in a scrubber in her rebreather.These were necessary so they didn't alert the fortress of their arrival. Taking the hose in her mouth, she inhaled and then exhaled , as Ross watched the bag and then sealed it. Rachel carried with her an extra tank that could be utilized when Tangie was found.

Looking down at their watches, they decided that they would rendevouz at nineteen hundred hours. The dark water enveloped them as they descended into the abyss. Once again, they finned into the cavern for the last time. The vent came into sight as it was removed and then Rachel swam through it. Remembering where Mongo kept prisoners from before, Rachel pounded on the wall. Tangie ran to the vent and opened it.

"Look it's the calvary." She exclaimed. Rachel handed removed the extra tank. "No time for pleasantries. In thirty minutes, this whole island is going to blow." Tangie strapped on her tank and the two agents slowly stepped through the grate into the cold water. "Damn and I didn't wear a wet suit." Tangie cried. "I think we will be swimming fast enough that we'll get warm fast." Pushing themselves down. Rachel held the flashlight as they made their way out of the grate system.

With a light strapped to his hood, Ross carefully used the screwdriver to put the wires in place. Parrot fish kept swimming by curiously and also a friendly moray eel. Eyeing through his mask, he took his other hand and swished them away. Almost like he could communicate with them, he blew a stream of bubbles to tell them they needed to be far away. Almost finished, he looked down at his watch, and placed in the rocks the device. Pushing a mechanism, the timer was set for thirty minutes. When the explosive was set, he turned on the homing device on his watch and then without using his feet, moved his body up and down in an effort to get out of the cave faster. Swimming outside, he turned a sommersault and then saw a trail of bubbles in the distance. Looking down, he saw it was them.

Smiling through her full faced mask, "My husband the show off , ladies and gentlemen." She said. He swam over to her and wrapped his rubber covered arms around her.

"Hey you two, save the romance for later." Tangie said as bubbles emerged from her reg, Ross nodded and then he took Rachel's hand and they furiously kicked to a spot where two scuba scooters were sitting. Tangie floated into the one seat and then Ross put Rachel on the back as the agents motored quickly away from the caverns.

Far enough away, they stopped to watch the complete destruction. With eyes opened and air bubbling from the units, the whole island shook causing an underwater earthquake and then there was a huge explosion where the water turned to red instead of the crystal blue. Mongo and his evil plans had been sabotaged thanks to the team.

"Let's go home." Sighed Rachel as a trail of bubbles left her mask. Quietly the scooters turned around and were met by a lone sub.

Two months later in Westchester…………

"Alright who is ready for a hamburger, sorry Phoebe, I mean either a hamburger or a veggie burger." Said Chandler as he put another piece of meat on the barbecue.

The six friends were enjoying this reunion. Joey had to come to NY for an appearance on Letterman. Since he was in town , he decided to make it a vacation to see his best friends and their families. Alex wasn't feeling well, so she didn't make the trip.

"Now this is the life."exclaimed Ross as he stood with his friend,Joey.

"Ah come on Ross, I have a pretty sweet life, you know movies and television and glamour." Joey smiled. "Aren't you just a little bit jealous?"

"Nope not at all." He smiled and winked at Rachel. "I am just happy being a professor and father and husband. That is the sweet life my friend."

Rachel ran to the edge of the pool. "Hey Geller , I'll race you." She screamed as she dived in. He ran to the other side and then did a perfect dive into the water. At the bottom of the pool, they looked into each others eyes , and swam toward each other. Wrapping his arms around her as bubbles escaped their mouths, it was garbled but it could be heard.

" I glub love glub you." He smiled and then made his way into her mouth.

At the bottom of a swimming pool at their best friends house, they had found paradise.

"Hey Emma?" said Jack as they stood by the pool and watched. "They have been down there quite a while. Aren't you worried they can't breathe?" Emma smiled and looked at the bubbles rising from the pool.

That was her mom and dad. And even though she couldn't tell anyone, she was proud of them. After all , hadn't they saved the world. That was a whole lot cooler than teaching about dinosaurs and choosing fabric. But that was alright too.

Breaking the surface , Ross and Rachel pulled themselves up on to the side of the pool and Ross winked at Emma. She ran to him and hugged her father and then her mother. Then the three of them went back to their normal life…

Until the next mission….

The end.
