But it all started with one epic first kiss.
What Ross then wants to know is: “When were you under me?”
Hours later, Ross shows up at Central Perk while Rachel is closing up.

The two argue and Ross storms out only to return moments later.
The pair kiss and as Drake might say … “Nothing Was the Same” (viaGenius).
Eventually, Chip shows up and Rachel goes off into the night, while Ross is left heartbroken.

Rachel, so moved by Ross' gesture, walks up to him and kisses him.
Phoebe happily cheers, “See, he’s her lobster!”
“Friends” executive producer Scott Silveri once credited their relationship with extending the show’s run.

“Without Monica and Chandler, it ends three years earlier.
And, of course, this was intentional.
As Silveri explained, “We didn’t want to spend too much too fast.

We didn’t want it to be high drama.
So we just kept taking baby steps forward and feeling our way through.”
And those baby steps eventually led to Monica and Chandler getting married and adopting kids.

And big reveal a few moments later Rachel got off the plane.
After all, they’re each other’s lobsters.
