"Idiot. Stupid idiot."

She was angry, really angry. She had just quit her job after her boss had yelled at her for getting an order wrong. Apparently the customer had ordered vanilla, but she had brought back strawberry instead, So her boss had totally gone insane when he had found it and lets just say he ended up with a milkshake thrown on him. She had only been working there a few weeks, but she had felt like she had been there for years. The customers were rude, her coworkers were jerks, and her boss was just plain cruel half the time. So now she was heading back home trying to figure out how she would tell Monica about this. She had already been feeling bad because she had been staying with her and Chandler but now she didn't even have a job. Her life was so screwed up. She hadn't even been on a date in months because she had been trying so hard to get a job. So now she was single, miserable, and she had no job. She was really starting to wonder what she had done to deserve this.

Raindrops started to fall and Rachel let out a sigh of frustration. Where was her umbrella when she needed it?

When she got to Monica's door she was furious. Her hair was damp and her clothes were soaking wet from the rain. She officially hated her life.

She opened the door, expecting to walk in on Monica and Chandler like she had so many times but to her surprise her eyes were immediately covered and she knew it was Monica.

"Mon I'm really not in the mood for games. I'm tired, soaking wet, and I just quit my job."

"I'm sorry to hear that Rachel but, Chandler and I have a really big surprise for you and we think it will cheer you up."

"I really doubt it Monica.

Monica walked her to the living room before stopping in front of the couch.

"You ready Rach."

"Whatever." She wasn't in the mood for playing games, but she decided to play along with them. She removed her hands and smiled at Rachel, knowing that she would love the surprise. Rachel opened her eyes, blinking a few times, and what she saw blew her away.

Her best friend was standing there with lilies, her favorite flowers.

She hadn't seen him in five years and part of her felt like she was dreaming.

"Ross?"

She stared at him for a bit. There was no way he could be here. But there he was, holding lilies for her. He still had the same adorable puppy dog face with the same adorable puppy dog eyes that she couldn't resist. It seems London had done him good. He was definitely more muscular than she remembered and maybe a little taller too. He had always been good looking but instead of seeing the cute geeky boy she had grown up with was now a handsome, tall young man in his place. Yes Ross Geller was definitely not a geek anymore.

"Oh my god Ross you're here!"

He knew she would be excited to see him but he hadn't planned on her jumping in his arms, causing him to lose his balance a bit. He ran his fingers through her hair.

"I missed you Green."

"I missed you too Geller."

Meanwhile Monica and Chandler, who had been watching the entire thing, were having their own little conversation about the site taking place in front of them.

"Have they always been the close? When we were roommates in college Ross never mentioned her a lot."

"Well when he left for college they really couldn't spend that much time together, but as soon as she graduated they went back to being attached to each other. I always felt like the third wheel when we we all hung out together."

"Well now you have me now sweetie." Monica blushes a bit and leans in to kiss Chandler. They momentarily forget that Ross and Rachel are in the room and Ross glares at the pair.

"Hey Bing that's my little sister!"

They look up to see a red faced Ross. Monica smiled. He was still the same over protective brother she had grew up with.

"Calm down Ross. They have been dating for two years you know. By the way are those lilies for me," she asks batting her eyelashes.

Ross grins at her.

"Why yes they are Ms. Green." He hands the flowers to a beaming Rachel who he could not take his eyes off of.

He had always wondered why she had never considered being a model but never had built up the courage to ask. Her hair was in long golden waves that fell down her back. It seems that she not lost her amazing physique either. Whenever she entered a room, all eyes were immediately on her, but she always ignored the staring. Ross was her best friend but he was still a guy so it took awhile for him to actually pay attention to what she was saying sometimes.

"And then we can go to that Chinese Restaurant that I know you love to catch up at and maybe afterwards we can... Ross are you listening to me?"

He shook his head slightly and looked at her. She had a her hand on her lips and she was pouting.

"Sorry."

"Oh no I'm sorry. You're probably jet lagged right? What time did your flight get in?

"A few hours ago."

"Where are you staying? Mom and Dad's," Monica asked.

"Yeah but I've been looking at a few places in the city. Which means I can come visit you and Chandler anytime I want," Ross replied, smirking cheekily and Monica rolled her eyes at this.

"And you can visit Rachel too, well until she finds an apartment. Right Rach."

"Ugh don't remind me. I need to get a job before I can start looking for an apartment."

"Bad day at work?"

"Horrible day. My boss is an idiot."

"I'm sorry Rach." He enveloped her in a hug and ran his fingers through her hair.

"Are you sure they've never been more than friends," Chandler whispered in Monica's ear.

"Not that I'm aware of."
