Madison: (buckling her seatbelt) That was the best date I've ever had
Ephram: Well you know...I try. (he starts the car and gets on the road)
Madison: Ok so what are we gonna tell your dad?
Ephram: Well the whole alien abduction thing is overused, so we have to think of something else.
Madison: (cracks a smile) common seriously...we could say we were at the movies (suggestively)
Ephram: All day? Yeah that's believable, plus he probably looked there like 20 times by now.
Madison: Ok well if you're gonna be so critical, you think of one
Ephram: uh...well... we could say we were at your house the whole time.
Madison: Uh huh, and what am I supposed to say when he asks what we were doing for 8 hours...writing notes to Santa?
Ephram: well that definitely wouldn't be believable...cause well Christmas is over.
Madison: (she smiles and shakes her head) ok... I got it, we just say that we went to the basketball game, I think there is one in Denver today.
Ephram: That might work, but knowing my dad he might ask the score, or to see tickets or the finger, which I could give him but I don't think it would be the foam kind.
Madison: (snickered) Ok well what else...we could say...that, I dunno we just walked around town all day.
Ephram: you think my dad would believe that it took us all day to walk around town?
Madison: (laughing) Ephram, I don't know what we are gonna say.
Ephram: We'll just keep it simple...we went to a park and had a picnic, then talked...that way we leave out the whole going out of town without telling anyone thing. Plus it isn't a lie, so there is no chance of him catching you flaring your nostrils.
Madison: What? I do not flare my nostrils when I lie!
Ephram: Oh yes you do, every time you tell my dad we haven't slept together, I see it, luckily he doesn't.
Madison: I can't believe you noticed that...it took my parents like 15 years to notice it.
Ephram: I just have an eye for those things.
Madison: Well I guess I can never lie to you.
Ephram: Don't even try.
Madison: (laughing and blushing) I guess the picnic in the park thing will work, but what if he asks what park?
Ephram: I don't know...just say you don't know the name or something. I don't think he really knows any parks anyways, unless he secretly goes out to throw a Frisbee around.
Madison: (shakes her head smiling and then sighs) ok so a picnic in some park that we don't know the name of and then we talked.
Ephram: yeah...that should work...I hope.
45 minutes later they passed a sign that said "You are now entering Everwood Population:5,000"
Ephram: (looks over at Madison who was waking up) We should be there in about 5 minutes.
Madison: (yawning and rubbing her eyes) Did I sleep the whole ride?
Ephram: Yeah, you missed the part where I got pulled over and breathalized.
Madison: You what?! (sitting up and looking surprised)
Ephram: (laughing) Just kidding, jeez you are gullible when you're tired.
Madison: Shut up! You scared me half to death.
Ephram: (smiling) sorry, but hey it woke you up.
Madison: Uh huh...(she looks in the rear-view mirror and fixes her hair)
Ephram: Ok here we are...you ready?
Madison: yeah let's get this over with. (they get out of the car and walk up to the house) do I look ok?
Ephram: perfect (he kisses her then opens the door) Dad? (he says loudly) I'm home.
Andy walks in from the kitchen to see Ephram and Madison sitting on the couch.
Andy: Ephram! It's 20 after 9, why didn't you call? Where were you?
Madison: Sorry Dr. Brown, I forgot my phone at home.
Andy: Where did you go that didn't have a payphone?
Madison: We just went to some park and had a picnic.
Andy: A picnic that took 8 hours?! Common how stupid do you think I am?
Madison: No seriously... we just ate and talked... nothing happened. (she could feel her nostrils start to flare and tried to keep them normal)
Andy: I was worried sick...Ephram, don't ever go that long without calling again!
Ephram: Well maybe if I had a cell phone...(trying to get something out of this)
Andy: You don't need one, Madison has one, and she is going to bring it with her wherever you go, is that clear?
Madison: Yeah...totally.
Andy: Ok, as long as that's understood...there's leftover pizza in the fridge if you want some, I have to make a house call, don't you do anything stupid Ephram. (he starts towards the door) I should be back in an hour or so.
Andy left.
Ephram: see? I told you it would work. God I am always bailing us out of messes. (sarcastically)
Madison: I guess I really owe you then (she says moving towards him)
Ephram: Well...I...it was no big deal (she kisses him) then again...
They started making-out on the couch
Ephram: Well you know...I try. (he starts the car and gets on the road)
