Couples Countdown Nr.5

Rachel & Ross
(Friends)


Current status: Together, finally…
The Beginning: Ross has had a crush on Rachel for nine years, when they met again. Ross fell in love again, but when Rachel found out, he had already moved on.
Course of the Relationship: Rachel was jealous of Ross's new girlfriends and when she was drunk, she told him how she felt. They kissed but then got in a fight. Eventually they became a couple for about a year. When Rachel got a new job, Ross got jealous of her collegue Mark. After a fight, they took a break and Ross slept with another woman, resulting in a horrible breakup. They try to make it work once again, but when Rachel asks Ross to take full responsibility for their failing relationship, it doesn't succeed. They move on and Ross wants to get married to Emily but says Rachel's name at the althar. He gets a divorce, but stays friends with Rachel. They kiss when Monica gets engaged and shortly before Monica and Chandler's wedding, they have sex and Rachel gets pregnant. They move in together, but it get's very messy when feelings come up again. Joey develops feelings for Rachel and aks her to marry him (by accident) after Emma's birth, which stops a possible reunion. Although they're now just friends with a baby, their attraction is clearly visible.
The End & Future: Rachel wants to move to France with little Emma and Ross realizes he loves her. He tries to stop her at the airport, but misses her. She comes back and they reunite.

When I fell in love with them: They got me when they first kissed. It was raining and they had a big fight and then they had this amazing kiss… Flail.
Why I like them: Who doesn't like it? It's my first "big" ship and it's just a wonderful relationship. I like the whole "Geek" and "Beauty" concept and the fact that he has been in love with her for so long. They care deeply for each other and know that they will end up with each other. No other relationship the characters were in could stand up to this ship.
Best Moment: I absolutely loved the episode where Ross is Rachel's lobster. They kiss and really become a couple for the first time in this episode and it just shows perfectly, how Ross was in love with her for soo long.
Saddest Moment: Season 3, episode 16 "The one with the morning after". I actually cried the first time they broke up

Why not Nr.1? I know this is one of the super-couples, the one prototype for the on-off relationship. But for my taste, they broke them off one too many times
Miscellaneous: It's the on-off prototype
