"What's that?" Rachel asked when she noticed the small box in Ross' hand. He walked to stand in front of her, as she still sat on the couch.

"Follow me," Ross replied, ignoring her question. He took one of her hands and pulled her up off her seat. Ross put the small box into his pocket before he began walking towards the apartment door, her hand still in his.

As they walked down the hallway Ross continued to hold Rachel's hand, leading her. She eagerly followed him staying by his side, curious as to where he was taking her. Walking side by side felt so easy, so natural. Their shoulders or arms would brush every once and a while, sending shivers down Rachel's spine.

As Ross led Rachel up a flight of stairs, she became even more confused. She thought he would lead them down to the lobby of the building, to leave. But after a few more flights of stairs they reached a door. Ross stopped and turned to Rachel.

"Here we are," Ross said. Rachel just stared at him, waiting. Rachel had no clue what this room was and wanted to find out soon. "I want you to put this on," Ross said as he pulled a piece of fabric from his pocket and held the blindfold out in front of her.

"Okay…" Rachel responded slowly, unsure about what he was up to. Ross moved to stand behind her and tied the piece of fabric over her eyes.

Rachel listened as Ross placed his hand on the doorknob and opened the big metal door. Its hinges creaked in protest. Rachel let out a startled gasp as she felt a rush of cool air against her face. Ross took her hand and guided her forward, slowly. Rachel heard the noises of traffic and realized they were outside.

"Hold on a second, I'll be right back," Ross said.

"What?" Rachel protested, nervously. She then felt Ross remove his hand from her grasp. Rachel stood in place unsure what to do.

A few seconds after Ross left, Rachel heard a click and then the door close with a thud. Suddenly Ross returned and Rachel felt his hands on her shoulders. Rachel flinched when she felt his soft lips against hers.

"Sorry," Ross said when he felt her jump. "I couldn't help myself."

"That's fine. Can I take this off now," Rachel said pointing to her blindfold.

"Yeah, you can take off the blindfold," Ross said to Rachel. She did as she was told and pulled the blindfold off the top of her head.

Rachel stood there for a few moments in awe. He had led them onto the rooftop. There were millions of stars filling the night sky, and a breathtaking 360 degree view of the beautiful city lights. Rachel saw the city lit up every night, but never had it looked so spectacular.

Rachel noticed the many strings of lights that were suspended overhead, along with quite a few white, circular paper lanterns that hung amongst the lights. The whole roof was illuminated with a soft, dim glow. Rachel stood in the middle of the roof in surprise and amazement; she couldn't believe he had done all this for her.

After a little while Ross walked over to her and hugged her from behind. Rachel spun around in his arms to face him.

"Ross this is incredible," Rachel cooed. "What's the occasion?" She asked.

"We've been apart so long. I wanted a romantic spot to take you," Ross replied.

"Well, thank you, this is really beautiful. Only, how did you know I would return?" Rachel questioned.

"I just had a feeling," Ross replied.

"So, you did all this while I was gone?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, but I didn't do it all on my own. Our friends helped me. Then I sent them home so we could have some privacy. I also talked to the super and he's going to make sure this roof is reserved for only our use this evening," Ross explained.

"Wow, you really know how to spoil me," Rachel replied, with a giggle. Ross loved the sound of her laugh; he had really missed hearing it.

"I also have a bottle of wine and a radio to listen to, what do you want to do first?" Ross asked, as he pointed to a radio sitting on a small table with a bottle of wine and two glasses beside it.

"Let's dance," Rachel said. With that, Ross let go of her and walked the short distance to the radio. He turned it on and the soft beat of 'With Or Without You' filled the air. Ross smiled at Rachel over the coincidence that their song would be on that exact radio station.

Ross strolled back to Rachel. He placed a hand on her waist and held one of her hands as she placed her free hand on his shoulder. They looked into each other's eyes as they began to sway gently to the music.

"You look beautiful," Ross complimented, out of the blue. His kind words brought tears to Rachel's eyes. Never could another man make her feel so loved with so few words. Ross had a way of being so sincere when he spoke to her.

Rachel wanted to say something back but she didn't trust her voice right then. She responded by letting go of his hand and wrapping both her arms around the back of his neck. She placed her head against his chest as Ross hugged her to him, wrapping his arms around her waist. Rachel listened to Ross' heartbeat as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment.

They didn't even notice the songs changing as they continued to dance; they were only focused on each other. Eventually a DJ came on the station and Ross and Rachel were pulled from their trance.

"Do you want a glass of wine?" Ross asked.

"Sure," Rachel said. The couple stepped apart, but Ross still kept a hand on her waist. They walked over to the table. Rachel looked across the ground and noticed Ross had laid out a few blankets and pillows for them to sit on. Rachel laughed to herself, she hadn't even noticed them. She was too distracted by everything else.

Ross let go of Rachel in order to grab the bottle of wine, a corkscrew and the two glasses off the table. He gave one glass to Rachel before they sat down on the blankets. Ross used the corkscrew to open the bottle, pulling the cork off with a pop. He poured the wine into Rachel's glass and then his own, and then he placed the bottle on the ground.

"Cheers to a new beginning," Ross said, holding out his glass. Rachel clinked her glass against his and they both took a sip. For a few minutes they just enjoyed each other's company as they stared at the city around them, sipping their drinks.

As they looked up at the stars that filled the sky they remembered their first date in the planetarium. That place meant so much to them. It was the place where their relationship truly began, and tonight was almost the same. A new beginning, under the stars.

Then a question came to Rachel's mind, from earlier in the evening.

"You never answered me about what that box from your room was," Rachel said. Ross put down his glass of wine and then reached into his pocket, pulling the box out.

"It's my grandmother's engagement ring," Ross replied. Rachel let his words sink in before her eyes widened.

"W-why do you have it?" Rachel stuttered, as she put down her glass beside his.

"When I was dating Emily my mom gave it to me to propose to her. She thought if I was engaged to Emily she would move here and then she wouldn't have to leave me anymore. But, I visualized what it would be like to ask Emily to marry me and it just didn't feel right," Ross explained.

"I guess you felt the same way I did when Joshua proposed to me," Rachel said. "Why did you bring it out here?" Rachel asked.

"I have to confess that I didn't do all this only because I wanted a romantic night with you," Ross admitted as he gestured to the rooftop. "I planned this and grabbed this ring to tell you that I don't expect to get engaged at this moment, but I did want a nice way to ask you if you will consider getting engaged in the future. If we're getting back together it would be a waste of time if you can't trust me enough to see a future with me," Ross explained.

Rachel's heart began to pound. She looked away for a moment as she made a decision. Her choice made tears fall from her eyes.

"Please say something," Ross whispered, as he watched her sad expression.

Rachel couldn't find her voice, but she looked at the ground and shook her head side to side. Ross' heart sunk in his chest, was she saying no? He looked down at the small box in his hands trying to hold back his own tears; he was completely heart-broken.

Rachel watched his reaction and quickly put her hand under his chin. She gently turned his face so he would look at her. His expression reminded her of their break up, his eyes were glassy with tears and his expression was hurt.

"Ross, I don't want to be engaged in the future... I want to be engaged now," Rachel said through her tears.

"Wow… Rach. Uh, don't get me wrong I'm happy we're back together, but don't you think that's taking it too fast?" Ross asked, taking her hand in his.

"I think it is fast but I have this feeling that things will all work out this time," Rachel explained as she rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb.

"How do you know that?" Ross questioned.

"I think that being in other relationships has helped us to understand that we can't be apart. I mean, even when I was mad at you, in the back of my mind I knew I was still in love with you. Remember when I said in my letter that I found myself comparing Joshua to you, I really meant it. I couldn't move on, and that's how I know things will work out because you're the only one for me," Rachel explained.

"I love you," Ross responded.

"I love you too," Rachel said back to him. Ross leaned towards her and gave her a soft, lingering kiss on the lips. Then he quickly pulled away and stood up.

"May as well make it official," Ross said, as he held out his hand to Rachel. He helped her stand up in front of him. He paused a moment to take a deep breath and think about what he would say. Then he dropped to one knee.

"Rachel, when I first met you I didn't know how big of an impact you would make on my life. What started out as a crush turned into the best relationship I've ever been in.

I was devastated to have our relationship end because of my jealousy. I was only acting like that because I was afraid I would lose you, and I knew I wouldn't be able to live without you. When we did break up I thought I could move on, but I couldn't get over you. I ended up trying to fix my broken heart, but no one could replace you.

I will continue to thank you every day of my life for finding it in your heart to forgive me. Being back together with you is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. And hearing you say that you know we will be together is the glue that has finally fixed my broken heart.

You once said to me that plans change, and now I finally realize the true use for that phrase. We planned on trying to move on but changed our minds when we realized we couldn't be apart.

I want to spend the rest of my life with the only woman I've ever truly loved. The woman who makes my heart skip a beat when I look at her. The woman who makes me wake up every day with a smile on my face knowing how blessed I am to be with her. The woman who makes me happy when I'm sad, and calm when I'm nervous. The woman who makes me realize what love truly is.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you… Rachel will you marry me?"

Ross opened the small box to reveal the most beautiful ring Rachel had ever seen. Tears rolled down her face.

"Yes," Rachel chocked out in a sob. She waited for Ross to stand up before she practically threw herself into his arms. As they collided she kissed him on the lips in joy. Ross wrapped one arm around her to squeeze her against his chest, while the other still held the ring.

Rachel just hugged him when they stopped for air. Ross figured it was the perfect moment to make everything completely official as he took Rachel's left hand in his. He removed the ring from its box and then gently slid it onto her ring finger. Rachel admired her hand watching the ring sparkle in even that dim light. Then she smiled before pulling Ross' face towards hers to kiss him again.

As they stood there, enjoying their first kiss as an engaged couple, Ross felt a raindrop hit his head. It had suddenly begun to rain.

Ross and Rachel stopped to look up at the clouds they hadn't noticed blow in. Ross continued to look up but Rachel stood on her tip toes to kiss Ross' lips. They were soon continuing to move their lips in perfect harmony. Then Ross lifted her off her feet and Rachel responded by wrapping her legs around his waist.

Ross and Rachel didn't stop kissing; they didn't let the pouring rain ruin their moment. The moment their lives remained together for good. The moment no one was in the way of them being together. The first moment of forever.
