Ah, Ross and Rachel. Truly the Romeo and Juliet of our times, except in New York, and both are alive for the end. It'd been a long and rocky road over the course of ten years, or should that be a lane? It all began in ninth grade, when young Ross harboured a crush on his sister's friend, Rachel.
Fast forward to , and Rachel has come to stay with her old school friend Monica, having just run out on her wedding to boring dentist Barry. Ross re-kindles his love for Rachel, but moves at a glacial pace - failing to alert her to his feelings before she shacks up with Italian stallion Paolo. When Ross pops off to China for an archaeological dig, Chandler lets slip to Rachel that Ross has feelings for her. Could she be feeling the same way? Drunk, and jealous of Ross and Julie's blossoming romance, Rachel leaves a message on Ross' answering machine.

Now Ross knows how Rachel feels, he compiles a list of pros and cons for Julie and Rachel. They enjoy a year's blissful romance, before Ross becomes increasingly jealous of Rachel's friendship with coworker, Joshua. After a bad Joshua-themed argument, they agree to go on a break.
A break for frozen yoghurt? Heartbroken and horny, Ross sleeps with the girl from the copy place. Rachel, now ready to kiss and make up with Ross, finds out. Both partners experience some time wandering in the wilderness. Ross finds an attractive new partner - Bonnie, whom Rachel convinces to shave her head it's a long story.
Why'd she do it?

Because she still has feelings for Ross! Can they work things out? Rachel writes a letter to Ross outlining what he needs to do in order for their relationship to work. Ross falls asleep while reading the letter. Rachel asks him a crucial question: He says it does. Ross then reads the letter. It so does NOT. OK this is getting a bit long now, so in the interests of time Ross goes to get married in England and accidentally says Rachel's name at the altar, they get drunkenly married in Vegas, then divorced, and then drunkenly conceive a baby together.

It looked so cute on her, and it was nice to see something different from our fashionista Friend. Which TV clique do you belong in? Phoebe met and fell in love with David the scientist guy in season one, and over 10 seasons he kind of floated in and out of her life. He was the one that got away, and she almost ended up engaged to him in season nine. Mike came out of nowhere and was able to keep up with the "wonderfully weird" Phoebe. But he did break her heart by saying he would never marry her. In the end, she ended up married to Mike and they probably have nine kids now. It wasn't just a timing issue, which Phoebe proved when she chose Mike over David in Barbados.
They were each other's lobsters. Those who raise rat babies together, stay together. Sorry, but there will never be a Friends reunion. Friends fans hate choosing just one, but we always make each other do it. It's like fictional character torture. And to be clear, this show would not have worked without all six of them.

It has to be. Not only was he the funniest one, but he had a heart of gold and was often the center of the biggest and most emotional episodes.
And even though the finale was all about Ross and Rachel finally getting back together for good she got off the plane! Of course, we could think of a couple more things Friends fans still fight over, like the fact that Kathy was awful, whether or not Emma was a necessary plot point and if Ross was the most annoying, terrible friend.
