Ross ran to Rachel's apartment as fast as he could. Joey slapped his head when he realized that Ross knew he was cheating on her. The actress covered herself in a towel, while Joey finished packing. "Where are you going? We haven't had sushi yet." She said confused. "I have t o go home , I have a feeling I lost a best friend and a fiancée in the same day." The girl dropped her towel. "You have a girl." She screamed . "I didn't tell you that? Well anyway I am sure that it is over , so this is my number call me." Joey said as he handed her a piece of paper. She threw it in his face and grabbed her clothes. "Fuck you." she said as she walked out the door.
Joey came up the stairs when he got home. He actually flew up them as he realized that he knew what was going to happen. Rachel and Ross were sitting on the couch laughing at an old Seinfeld where Jerry is given the puffy shirt.
"Hi honey, " Rachel said as she ran to hug him. "I missed you." She cooed and proceeded to give him a kiss. He looked at Ross, obviously Ross was going to let him hang himself and then pick up the pieces. Well he had one more trick up his sleeve. Ross wasn't going to just end up with the girl.
"Rachel , sit down, I have got to tell you something." Joey said. He carefully planned this out. After all, he was an actor. He took her hand and looked deep into her eyes.
"Ross , maybe you should go." Rachel said unsure of where this was going to end up. "No I want him here. Because I want to confess something. Rachel, when I was in LA I cheated on you with some bimbo . But let me tell you something, I wanted to make sure you were the right girl for me. , so I had Ross come on to you," Joey admitted.
Rachel turned to Joey and got up and slapped him. Then she went over to Ross and then slapped him on the cheek as well. "You assholes, you both used me." She screamed and then slammed the bedroom door. Ross got up from the couch. "Fuck you man." He said as he left their apartment and then slammed the door. Joey was left in the living room all alone, wondering how he was going to make everything right. For he had a plan in mind, but he didn't know how is was all going to turn out now.
Ross finished the show, but Rachel wouldn't have anything to do with him. She would go in to the theatre and then go home. Phoebe was happy because she had another hit on her hands. It was such a hit that she wanted him to stay with the show. Ross instead opted for scoring a movie in Hollywood. Joey ended up leaving his soap and ending up on "The Young and the Restless." Instead. Now that he was in Hollywood. He went to see his old pal Ross. Ross wouldn't answer his calls or emails. Joey knew that he needed to get Ross and Rachel together. He knew all along they were made for each other. He wasn't ready to give up his ladies man lifestyle. Joey tried to talk to Rachel as well. She hung up when she heard it was his voice. The sad thing is , Rachel wasn't that sad when Joey left, but when Ross moved to California as well. She just didn't want to date anyone.
Joey called his old friend at the Plaza. He had a writer friend send an unaninmous letter to Rachel and another one to Ross. Joey was never good with words, so his writer friend did the two letters and mailed them . Ross came home and he found the letter. It intrigued him as it talked about soulmates and love. In the envelope was a first class plane ticket to New York. Ross didn't know what was going on, but he had a feeling and then drove to the airport.
Rachel had gotten the same type of letter , except hers was delivered with a bouquet of lilies. It also had instructions for her to go to the restaurant in the Plaza Hotel and when she should meet there. The letter puzzled her, but always a sucker when it came to romance , she changed her clothes and then got in a cab headed for her meeting of destiny.
Ross got in a cab and then headed back toward Manhattan. Arriving at the Plaza, he checked in the room that Joey got for him. Of course, he had no idea it was Joey who was behind this little matchmaking scheme. Coming downstairs, he was still tying his tie when he was ushered into the restaurant. Rachel explained her instructions and was ushered in as well. The two old friends just stared at each other. "What are you doing here?" Rachel asked angrily. "I was asked to come here." Ross said nervously. "I know what Joey did was wrong , and I never meant to use you , I mean you are the nicest girl that I have ever known." Rachel shyly smiled.""You aren't so bad yourself." The two of them started to talk again and then they decided to go for a walk.
"Now I am going to admit something , I fell in love with you the moment I saw you in that theatre. I knew someone like you would never want someone like me." Ross said as he put his head down. Rachel pushed it back up. "You are wrong, you are the sweetest and most sensitive guys I have ever met." She looked into his eyes and then he began to kiss her. She let his tongue then make its way into her mouth and she closed her eyes. He put his hand on her butt and then he brushed her hair with the other hand. "Do you think we could get a room ?" he said as he put his arm around her. She smiled. "I think that is the best idea that you have had." The two of them walked toward the front desk.
About five months later, Phoebe Buffay let the two of them get married on her estate in the Hamptons. Joey was of course , the best man. He had done the right thing. Ross was who Rachel belonged with , not him. Ross was now scoring a movie that was heading for Oscar contention, so they could not stay in New York and had to be in LA the next day. Rachel had an audition for a new sitcom , she was being considered for the part of the "Princess." , a girl who was spoiled and then she leaves her boyfriend, so she could live her own life. Joey was now on ER, since he had so much medical experience.
As Ross and Rachel danced their first dance. Joey sat at the bar and watched them , they were so happy. Maybe that is what he wanted all along. Then a girl wearing a mid riff and heels came over and wrapped herself around Joey. Or maybe he still wasn't ready to settle down, not quite yet.
