Andy was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper when the kids stood in front of him, hesitantly. Andy looked over his paper at the two with a not-so-happy look upon his face. He slowly folded the paper and set it down on the table, but before he spoke, Ephram said, "Dad, I don't care what you think...I don't want to argue with you, but I don't care what you think. I know you may not agree with our relationship, but--"
"Ephram, you're right" his father said sternly, "I don't agree with your relationship. I didn't the first time you two dated" his voice was getting louder, "and I don't now!" he calmed down, "but..."
"But?" Ephram said shocked as he looked at Madison who was just as shocked.

"It's not my decision and no matter what I say it wont matter." and he ended it there as he got up to go into the kitchen. Just as he was about to turn and say something else, Nonny came into view and started yelling at anybody who would listen. Ephram whispered to Madison, "oh here we go..."

"You may not care what happens to your son, Andy! But I do!"
"Nonny, let it go, I did." Andy said abruptly

"Exactly, Andy! That's what your best at, isnt it!"
"Gramma, stop..." Ephram said slowly.

"Excuse me young man?!"
"I'm 20 years old, Gramma, I can make my own decisions. I don't care what either of you have to say, seriously! You may disagree with my relationship with Madison, but I love her...we love each other and we will get through it."

Nonny then turned to Madison, "you brainwashed my grandson again, didn't you! Why don't you go rock the cradle of somebody elses grandchild?!"

Madison was angry and was about to say something but Delia and Ephram beat her to it, "Who do you think you are Gramma?! You don't even know her and you have no right coming here and telling us who we can and cannot love!"
Then Ephram said to Nonny angrily, "we didn't come here this weekend to get yelled at and ridiculed so. Don't yell at Madison, okay?"

"I'll yell at whomever I want to yell at!"
"Its none of your business!"

Just then, their grandfather came in and he calmly said, "why don't we give them the test that we gave Julia and Andy when they first started dating." he smiled, "and if they pass it then you" he said looking at Nonny, "can stop yelling and scaring people off. If they fail it, then more power to you..."

"what are you talking about?" asked Ephram heatedly

"Congratulations on the walking by the way" his grandfather said, "the test deals with a few things...If your thick headed father can pass it then I think you and Madison can to. And if you're really in love as you say you are, then the test will prove that." he continued to tell them about the test and how the two have to be separate for two days but at certain points write down things that they think the other is doing or would be doing, or what they would say during a certain situation. They also had to write a list of seven things that were important to them and the relationship.

"Fine..." Ephram said as he glared at his grandmother, "if it will get you off our backs then we'll do it." then he sighed and held Madison's hand, "and when we pass this stupid test of yours then you have to be respectful. When do we start?"

His grandfather smiled wide, "right now, kiss your girlfriend goodbye because she's going with me. Delia gets to come too, just in case I forget anything."
Ephram hugged Madison goodbye, "I'm sorry..."

Madison was speechless, she thought this was going to be at least a decent weekend, not a crappy one where the grandparents would decide their fate! She jokingly whispered, "I don't like you right now, Ephram."

The two kissed quickly before being hauled off in different directions, away from each other for two days. About 20 minutes later, Nonny said, "alright, son, we're going to do things twice, once will be to write down things that you would do or say during a certain situation, and the second time around is what you think Madison would say or do during that same situation. Hope you have nothing better to do for two days because that how long its going to take."
Andy broke in, "yeah, she'll try to break you down, get into your mind" he said sarcastically, "she even made your mother cry during this test!"

"Shut up Andy..."

Two days later the tests were finally over, but they couldnt rest yet because they had to review each others answers. The last thing they did was write down the list of seven things they thought were most important to them and the relationship. Ephram was pretty confident that the two would do well on that one since they've talked about it before. That morning Ephram was sleeping on the couch when his grandfather, Madison and Delia came in. Their grandfather walked into the kitchen where Nonny was and they reviewed the answers. Delia jumped on her brother, knocking the wind out of him. Madison tilted her head and smiled as Ephram saw her, "I still don't like you, Ephram."

He reached for her hand, "you're still my favorite person...I'm sorry, I shouldnt have even considered coming home this weekend."

"it was fun, don't get me wrong. I like your grandfather" and she sat beside him on the couch, "that test was definitely time consuming and by the end of the first day, my head hurt...I love you, Ephram..."
Ephram closed his eyes and leaned towards her and kissed her deeply, something he's wanted to do ever since they got to Everwood but didn't have the chance. About 20 minutes later the grandparents came out. Ephram was sort of apprehensive about it and seemed to form a sort of hatred for his grandmother.

"with reviewing your answers, we were actually pretty surprised."

Nonny said, "10%..."

Panicky, Ephram said angrily, "10 percent?! What's that mean, we failed? I told you your test was stupid! How the hell is a test accurate, it doesnt mean shit!"
