A/N: I'm back. Sorry I took so long to write this chapter. I was just so
busy with school and my family got a laptop so I never came on my computer
where I had this document. But its here now, and I hope you enjoy it!
The next night was the second Candle Ceremony, and it was time for Amy to reduce the field of men from ten to seven. It wouldn't be that hard of a cut for her, she already knew whom she did and didn't like. But she knew she would have to pretend she was terribly upset about sending three men home.
As Chris led the ten men into the house, he could tell that they were all nervous. Except for Ephram, Chris noticed that he seemed unusually calm. There was always a more unique one in the group he thought to himself.
When all the men had arrived and were standing in the appropriate places Chris began a speech, one of which he would be giving at every Candle Ceremony, except for the last.
"Tonight Amy is going to light seven candle. Each candle and the light that shines from it represents the feelings that Amy has grown to have for you. Over the past week." Chris said, almost exactly the way he had at the previous Candle Ceremony. "If Amy does not extend her light to your candle you will have to leave the Dream House and be on your way home tomorrow." Chris said, keeping this harsh realization down lightly on the men who didn't know if they were going to be chosen or not.
With that, Chris went upstairs to the Consideration Room to have a filmed talk with the Woman of Their Dreams.

A chubby cameraman with almost less than no hair gave Chris the signal to start his conversation with Amy.
"So Amy, now that you've gotten to know the Men of Your Dreams better, anyone in particular that stood out to you, either good or bad?" Chris said, one of the questions he had chosen off a list that the producers had given him.
"Definitely," Amy said. "Tad seems like a really nice guy and I felt a connection with him, it was like we could talk and not have to think about what we were going to talk about. And Ephram, well Ephram is just amazing." Amy said, trying not to give away the fact that she was in love with him and she had been for ten years.
"Has there been anyone who didn't meet your expectations?"
"For the most part, no. There have been some men who I didn't feel a spark between as much as the other's but I have nothing against any of these men as people." Amy replied, it was a perfect answer.
"Do you have any idea who you're sending home tonight?" Chris asked, moving on to the next question.
"Not really. It's just such a hard decision, I need as much time as I can get." Amy replied, quick to lie. What was she supposed to say? That she had been in love with the same man for ten years and now she was here and she didn't even want to look at the other men?
"Well then Amy, I think it's time that you make your decision. I'll leave you here to consider your options, and in a couple of minutes, I'll come back and take you to the men of your dreams."
The cameras were turned off as Chris left the room but turned back on again as Amy began "considering". She picked up the pictures of the men and listened to their video messages, and after about ten minutes she was ready to head downstairs for the Candle Ceremony with Chris.
When she arrived in the fanciest room of the mansion it was not only full of men who were standing in correct formation, hoping they would be chosen by her, but it was also crawling with video cameras to tape this "big event"
Chris had already said his speech and she was already going through the motions she had already memorized. She told them how hard it was to pick just seven men out of the ten that were there and that it was a hard decision and she wished everyone could stay. She was kind of repeating herself with the hard decision nonsense and she knew it, but all the men, Chris, and the camera crew bought it all.
Then she began to give some of her light to her seven men's candles. First Aaron, then Nathan, then Shane, then Ethan, and then Tad. Next she picked Ephram, which was the easiest choice of all. Finally, she lit Josh's candle. And that was it, her final seven men were chosen.
Chris told Carter, Seth, and Gabe, the rejected men, that they would have a few minutes to say their goodbyes, but then they would have to leave. Each took time to say bye to the men they had become friends with in the time that they were living in the house together, but in the end, they all ended up saying goodbye to Amy. She was the reason they were there and the knew it.
When the three who Amy hadn't selected had finished their goodbyes, all the men and Amy, were waiting for the cameras to turn off and for Chris to tell them that they could go. Instead Chris moved to the front of the room, near to where Amy was standing and began speaking to everyone, not just the men, but Amy too.
"You didn't think you could get this far in The Man of Her Dreams without a twist did you?" Chris said, trying to sound funny and failing. After years of being completely blank with no personality as his TV personality, it was hard to change that image. There will be another woman, who will be moving into the guest house of this very house. She will have separate dates with groups of men. And at the next Candle Ceremony, the men will vote and decide if they want her to stay or go.
Everyone was standing there shocked. This sort of thing had never happened in The Man of Her Dreams, or any reality-romance show. It was always a group competing for one other woman. However, despite their reactions, Chris finished his speech.
"I want you all to welcome Madison to The Man of Her Dreams!"
A/N: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You guys were begging for a twist, this is it. I would hate the writer if this happened to a fanfiction but I made a doorway for Madison to leave. Because trust me, I don't want her to be here. I'm just about as Ephramy as it is possible to be. It really does pain me to write that she is in the show. But what has to happen has to happen, and it did. I'm gonna change around a few facts of the show for this fanfiction so that it can be more Ephramy. But remember, this will stay Ephramy and absolutely nothing else. And I'll try to update as soon as possible so I don't leave you hanging on a thread for too long.
