Bonjour, tout le monde…how are you today? Sorry, rossrachmonchan, was not able to write this chapter with me, so I will be continuing without her. With all said, and done. We hope you enjoy this chapter.- Lobsters forever

"What"? Monica asked curiously, and a little bit frustrated.

Phoebe then looked over at the two, and said "Come on, they were just making out! I swear, Joey back me up"!

"Well, I didn't see anything this time….." Joey catches Phoebes glance, and continues "…though, Queen Phoebe is right." he then clears his throat and smiles widely at Phoebe.

"I liked that touch…though, Monica we swear that they are back together. We even set up tonight, so that they can get together."

Ross and Rachel overly exaggerate their gasps…"Phoebe, Joey, we are disappointed in you"! Monica looks at Phoebe and Joey and says "Well, that's an evil plan. Good try, but that was just plain evil. Wish it would have worked, but evil…"

Phoebe looked over at Ross and Rachel, and said loudly "But it did work! I swear, they are together! Come on, we get it, the plan was evil, but it was genius"

"MMmmUUuuHHhhAAaaHHhhAAaa" Joey laughs. He then stops and says "Ok, I won't do that ever again."

Ross then says "well, if you would excuse me, if I have to go back to my apartment, and get started on doing those papers." Ross quickly glances at Rachel, and she blushes. Then he walks across the coffee house, and exits it.

"Why are you still here?" Joey asks. "Aren't you supposed to be those papers he is going to do? Rachel rolled her eyes and said "Look, there is nothing going on, with Ross and I. Everything is simply normal….." "Normal for butt buddies…" Phoebe continued for her.

Rachel rolls her eyes, and says "If you would excuse me, I have to get my daughter". Then Phoebe asks "…and with who do you have her with again?" Rachel sighs and quickly leaves Central Perk. Monica laughs and says "Well, you guys just made a fool out yourselves… they are not together"! Phoebe stops her from leaving and Joey says "Okay, we are going to explain it to you"!

At Ross' apartment, we see him writing on his computers in his beautifully decorated bed room. He then hears a knock at the door. "Hey, can I come in?"

"So, you see that is what I do for a living…but I am thinking of leaving that job…well so, any questions?" Chandler asks baby girl Emma. Emma looks up at Chandler with her big brown eyes, and makes a sound. Chandler then says "At least your more interested than Joey when I tell you. You actually listen to me, well I could say sex, and you wouldn't care. Isn't that right, you little tiny nasty baby that throws up all over me." Chandler says while getting up to get something to clean up with.

"That was fun, I mean, in a friendship way….right?" Rachel asks Ross. Ross laughs while inviting her to sit down. He takes off her coat, and places it on a coat hanger. It all of a sudden became very silent. Then Ross says "Well, I am just glad Monica didn't believe Phoebe and Joey…" Rachel chuckles then stops, a moment, very seriously, and asks "Why?" Ross then looks at her confused then explains "Well, because, then everyone would think we are back together."

Rachel laughed nervously and said "Yeah, I know that. Its just that, the way you said it, it sounded like, when we were together it was never good, I mean…" Ross reaches for hand, and squeezes it and says "I know, but just so you know, it was good." Rachel smiles, and says "Yeah, I know."

Rachel then says "well, I better go get Emma from Chandler. If I know him will enough, he is probably, teaching her how to create your own joke by now." Ross laughs and says "Yeah, well have fun. I know I won't, I have so much to type out, and I need it all by tomorrow." Rachel then says "Well, do you need any help? I have excellent compuper skills, remember?" Ross laughs and says "Okay, sure. That would mean a lot to me. Thank you…." He then kisses her on the forehead. "well, I am going to work in the living room, you can work in my bedroom if you want?" Rachel chuckles and says "Oh, working in the bedroom, reminds me of old times…." Ross laughs, while getting her a chair for the computer in his bedroom.

"Chandler, how did it go with Emma?" Monica asks Chandler when she arrives to her apartment.

Chandler then says "Pretty good, how about you with Ross and Rachel?" Monica laughed and said "Nothing is going on between…though I do wonder where Rachel is. I knocked on her apartments door a few seconds ago, and she wasn't there." Chandler then says "Let me go check at Ross'." He walks over to the window and looks though it, and sees Ross handwriting on his desk. Chandler then sees "Clear, huh. Where could she be. I mean, we still have Emma."

About an hour later, Rachel had finished her part. Ross thanked her with a hug, and Rachel kissed his check, and said "Yeah, anytime."

Chandler then sees Rachel leaving from Ross'. "MONICA, Phoebe and Joey were right." he yells from the living room.

Rachel then says "I had fun tonight, playing innocent with you." she than closes the door.

"Chandler, were you spying on them?" Chandler then says "No, you see these eyes…." he says pointing to his….then he continues…"they are innocent…"

Ross sits on his couch, and pulls out a photo album, and starts looking through it.

I've had many times I can tell you
Times when innocence I'd trade for company
And children saw me crying
I thought I'd had my share of that
But these miss you nights are the longest

He spots many pictures of him and Rachel together, and then one initially caught his eye.

lay down) lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
(lay down) lay down all dreams and feelings once remembered
It's just the same this miss you game

It was one with him and Emily together, and Rachel had been in the background. Her eyes where filled with tears, but her lips curled into a smile.

"I am sorry, Rach."

"I forgot my purse" Rachel said interrupting him.

Please, tell me what you think… Thank you- Lobsters forever
