A/N: Sorry its taken so long. I've been so caught up with school. Not to mention I had a severe case of writers block. Not to mention the fact that I'm grounded until the end of January. With the extra free time I think there's gonna be a lot of updating. I'm also thinking of maybe doing a OneShot. But I hope this is good. And to make up for all the time that I made you wait, I'm making some extra twists to make the story extra fun! Hope you like them.
The third rose ceremony had arrived and Amy and Madison were both at the Dream Mansion getting ready. They had already sent over a pre-selected dress for each of them.
"Hold on!" Amy screamed when she heard a knock on the door. She had hoped it was Chris. She wanted to talk to him about the mess up about her awful group date and Madison being on a date with Ephram.
Amy zipped up the back of her dress and went to open the door.
"Madison!" Amy said sounding surprised. "What are you doing here?'
"I do stay at the guest house." Madison said. "But I just wanted to know your opinion. Do I look ok?" Madison asked. Doing a twirl.
"You look great." Amy replied. "How do I look?" she asked back.
"You look even better. Ephram will love it." Madison answered.
Immediately the tension in the room grew about 1000 percent. "About that. "Amy, you know Ephram would never do anything with me on our date. He would never touch another girl."
"I trust him." Amy replied in a convincing tone as if Madison was on the offense.
"I know you do. But I just want you to know how great of a guy he is. I have to tell you I'm jealous."
"I'd love to say don't be jealous, but hey, if I were you I'd be jealous too." Amy said with a laugh and Madison joined her.
"You've got that right. But I just want you to know that I talked to him. He knows how I felt – how I feel – and we talked it over. Its just too bad that the only guy we've both ever truly loved is the same guy." Amy was silent. "And that he chose to love you back."
"Madison-" Amy said, protesting, but was cut off.
"Don't worry about it Amy. I'm sure I'll find a great guy that, if not here, is somewhere else. I just want you to know that everything is good between us."
"Thanks Madison, it means a lot to me." Amy replied. She was glad they had worked this all out.
Chris came out of the side room to see all the men standing in their usual formation.
"Now before the two beautiful women come out to begin the candle ceremony, I would like to ask if any of you do not see either Amy or Madison as someone you could fall in love with, then if you would like to leave The Man of Her Dreams." Chris said, stating what was mandatory. And as expected none of the men chose to leave. They never did. With that Chris called Madison and Amy in. They had already spent time together in the Consideration Room and had decided on the next four men that would continue to go to their hometowns and would show them to Amy and Madison.
Amy and Madison came into the room and lit the candles of three of the men, Nathan, Tad, and Ephram. It was finally time for the last candle to be lit as Shane, Ethan, Aaron, and Josh waited anxiously.
Amy called Aaron's name and he came forward.
"Aaron will you accept this light?" Amy asked, expecting the usual "I'd love to."
"I can't." Aaron said sadly. To Amy, and the turned to the rest of the room. They could all see a speech coming. "I never should have come on this show. I just can't be here. The fact is, and I haven't told anyone this yet, but the fact is, well…I'm gay." Aaron said, and let out a big breath that it seemed he had been holding in for a lifetime. "I came on the show because I thought it might change things, and that I wouldn't have to let down my family and friends. But I realize, that none of that matters. And that what matters is to be true to myself. And Madison and Amy, I really do love you guys, as friends. I hope we can do something after all this is over." He paused. "But I have to go now. This isn't my place, and now I have to leave. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble." Aaron said, finishing his speech.
At that, Amy began to clap, followed closely behind my Madison, then Ephram, and soon enough all the other men. Aaron came forward and gave Amy and Madison each a hug and then went out the front door and was gone.
After things were silent for what seemed like forever, Chris stepped in. "Well that was certainly interesting. And I guess its going to be just three in this next round of dates. Shane, Ethan, and Josh, say your goodbyes." As they did, Chris could be heard in the background talking to one of the cameramen. "That was better than anything the network could have come up with." He said with a kindhearted laugh.
A/N: Hope that wasn't too soap opera for you. Expect more fun stuff soon. But only if you review. Review, Review, Review.
