Disclaimer~ I don't own Everwood or the characters for that matter, not yet
anyway (lets out an evil laugh). But on the other hand I do own Carrie and
her family and some of Ephram's friends and anything that I choose to make
up along the way.
A/N~ Hope you guys enjoy the story. Warning I use the POV changes, and this story is filled with song lyrics and has lots of musical references in it. Please review, questions, comments, complaints I take it all except flames! Thank you!

Summer in Everwood
Chapter 1~ It's here
Summer time. It's a time everyone enjoys whether you're right at home or thousands of miles from it. This is a time to meet new people and rekindle old friendships, to create new memories and remember the old ones. Why is it that we love summer so much? Maybe it's the feeling of those hot days spent at the beach and cool nights spent outside. Or maybe it's the joy of that you can stay up late because school's out. Everyone has his or her reasons but no matter what, everyone loves summer.
"Ephram, get up, come on get up", Delia said as she jumped on his bed. "Delia it's 7:30 in the morning", a very groggy Ephram answered as he rolled over to check his clock. " Why are you waking me up at 7:30 in the morning?" , He asked.
" Ephram you have the rest of the summer to sleep in, come on," she said as she shook him " plus Dad said you have to!" Ephram groaned as Delia slid off the bed just as Ephram was throwing the covers off himself.
" Alright I'm up", he said as he began to stand up and stretch.
" When you're dressed come down stairs ok?"She asked.
"Alright, now out" he said, shuffling her into the hallway and closing the door behind her.
A few minutes later Ephram made his appearance in the kitchen to find his Father and Delia sitting at the table. Ephram was shocked, not because of his father and Delia sitting at the table together, but the food that lay before them, it looked edible. A confused Andy looked up at his son and asked, " What's wrong Ephram?"
All Ephram could say was "you made all this?" as he looked at the scrambled eggs, the mouth-watering sausage biscuits, and the surprisingly un-burnt toast.
Andy proudly stated, " Yes I did" with a big smile on his face as he continued eating his scrambled eggs.
"Yea and it's great too!" Delia added as she put a piece of bacon in her mouth. Ephram finally sat down and began to eat his sausage biscuit, very cautiously. To his surprise it was delicious, I guess all those times that he burnt breakfast has finally started to pay off, he thought as he continued eating.
The Brown family ate their breakfast silently and contently for some time until Andy spoke up after finishing his breakfast. "I have to go up to Denver today" he stated as Ephram and Delia gave him a confused look.
"Why do you have to go?" Delia asked as she finished off her scrambled eggs.
" A doctor friend of mine wants has asked me to look at a patient of his", he replied as he got up and took his plate to the sink.
"When will you be back?" Ephram asked eagerly.
" I should be back later today, I'm not sure how long this will take," he said as he began washing his plate. " Would you be able to watch Delia for me?" he asked Ephram. "Well, I don't know Dad, I'm very busy today, got lots of people to see and places go" Ephram replied in his usual sarcastic tone. " Oh, so you can watch her then" Andy said, picking up on the sarcasm. Ephram groaned "sure" as he rolled his eyes.
" Good, well I've got to go" He said as he came over to Delia and kissed her forehead, "be good, ok?" he asked.
"I'll try, but I can't promise anything" she said with a smile as Andy chuckled.
"All right, bye" he said and with that he was off.
" So what do you what to do today?" she asked as she took her plate to the sink.
"I really don't want to do much" was his reply.
"Can we go see a movie?" she asked eagerly as she continued to wash her plate.
"What do you want to see?" he asked as he stood up and made his way over to the sink.
"I heard 'Finding Nemo' was pretty good, could we go see that?" she asked timidly while putting on the cutest puppy dogface. Ephram continued to stare at her with a look that said 'you've got to be kidding me!' "Pppppplllllleeeaassseeee" she whined.
Ephram agreed with the ever-famous eye roll and groan, "sure". Delia squealed with excitement.
"Yes! Thank you Ephram, I love you so much" she replied with glee as she gave him a big hug.
"Ok, ok Delia you made your point, be ready in a few minutes ok?!"
