Disclaimer: I don't, and never will, own Sonny With A Chance. Sad…

Sonny entered the Prop House, her attention so taken by the item in her hand she nearly ran right into the couch. At the last minute she veered around it and plopped down next to Tawni who was engrossed in her fingernails. The blonde looked up slowly, frowning at the broad grin across Sonny's face. "You look happy… I'm worried." She paused. "What have you done?"

Zora looked up from the floor where she was sketching what appeared to be some elaborate plan involving Marshall, a bag of gumballs and a donkey. No one dared ask. No one really wanted any part in any of Zora's plans. "She's been thinking again…" she threw her hands in the air dramatically, "we're doomed!"

Sonny's grin became a sideways frown for just a second before it returned. "No, Lucy sent me a present." Everyone in the room, even the boys who were at the counter caught up in a very messy game of 'cheese wars' (a game with no rules but a whole lot of cheese throwing), looked around for the present, ignoring the item in Sonny's hand. She shook her head and motioned to it and slowly it dawned on them. They all gave it, and Sonny, a blank look. "It's the game you'll never get bored of!"

"It looks like a ball in a cup." Tawni prodded it like it was something that had shrivelled up and died on her dressing room floor. "Yeah, definitely ball in a cup." She pushed it and the ball fell out, hanging off the handle by a piece of string. She pulled her sour look away from it and gave Sonny a 'pity smile'. "I never realised you didn't have electricity back in Wisconsin." She tapped Sonny's shoulder good-naturedly.

Sonny ignored the look, taken in by the ball in a cup. "It was me and Lucy's favourite game. We had this one challenge and we…" she started babbling on before Tawni put a single finger to her lips. Sonny fell silent with a bemused look on her face, her lips still parted mid-word.

"Less talk." Tawni nodded slowly, leading Sonny to follow. "Less talk, yes?" Eventually Sonny nodded too and Tawni removed the finger.

"Anyway, the game you never get bored of!" The grin still plastered on her lips, she started throwing the ball in the air, a running commentary going on describing the elation of getting the ball in and the disappointment of missing once again. After a few seconds of watching, Grady spoke.

"Bored." He stood and left.

Nico followed. "Bored."

"Bored." Zora grabbed her papers and left as well.

"Very bored." Tawni walked straight out the main door, again analysing her nails. Sonny frowned around the room, her eyes wide with disappointment, them the ball moved in her hand and she grinned, returning to her game, the running commentary continuing for the empty room.

A Hard (Awards) Night

Rated: K
Implied Channy


It's Tween Weekly's Awards Night, the biggest night on the social calendar for tweens. It also means dressing up, red carpet events and lots of free stuff (Nico and Grady particularly like the free stuff!). There's only one problem… the cast of So Random haven't been nominated and, by new cost cuts, are therefore ineligible to attend. For Tawni Hart this is just one blow too far.

Seeing her friend so upset, Sonny tries to bargain Tawni a way into the event. But it's a move that means cosying up to Chad Dylan Cooper. Surprisingly, Chad agrees. He'll take Tawni with him on one condition – Sonny comes as his date.

Will Sonny fake date the enemy again to get her friend the glamour night she so desperately wants?
