Sonny Munroe was never early, so when she was the first cast member in on Saturday morning she was surprised to say the least. On her way to her shared dressing room she noted how quiet and empty the halls were without Nico and Grady failing to impress girls or trying to make the best sandwich in sandwich history. The vents were silent without Zora crawling around in there, plotting and scheming of ways to get back at Nico and Grady.

Upon reaching her room she was surprised to not see Tawni sitting in her usual place, in front of the mirror fixing her hair and applying her 'Moco Coco Moco' lipstick or whatever it was called, she never got the name right. Which reminded her, her hair was a complete mess, she'd left early to escape her mother and her oversized helping of pancakes, there was only so much a girl can eat. She had had little time to fix the mess of brunette locks that was supposed to be her hair. Pulling it from the messy ponytail she had pulled it into she picked up her comb and began gently combing out the knots whilst she mindlessly began humming the theme tune to So Random!

"Knock Knock"

She spun round in her seat to see TV's heartthrob Chad Dylan Cooper leaning against her doorframe. She noticed how his hair was perfectly styled (probably by a professional stylist) and once again spun round to face her mirror and continued trying to rake a comb through her untameable locks.

"What do you want Chad?" she sighed as she realised it would probably be another argumentative start to the day. These visits in the morning were not unusual and Chad had a tendency to use them as an opportunity to practice his arguing skills. Today was going to be the same as every other day.

"Well, I was going to come see why you were in so early today, I mean its no secret that your never in on time never mind actually being early. It's like a miracle. If you believe in that kind of stuff of course." He was staring at her in the reflection of the mirror and she couldn't help but notice that his blue eye's sparkled even in early morning reflections.

"And then I ran into my good friend John and he asked me to deliver this on my way here" he looked proud of himself for finally doing something for someone else as he held up a light purple envelope and waved it in the air.

Sighing she turned round to face him fully before getting up and taking slow steps towards him.

"Ok first Chad, its Josh. The boy who delivers our mail, his name is Josh not John. Josh. Say it with me Chad. Josh" She repeated his name drawing out all the syllables mockingly until she was sure that it would stick in his mind for at least the rest of this conversation. Chad Dylan Cooper only remembered his own three names.

"And second, since when do you do nice things for people." Chad was never nice for any reason unless there was something in it for him. In all the time she's been at So Random! She's never once heard of him doing anything decent. Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't do nice.

"And third, fan mail isn't delivered until later in the day so whatever you've done to that envelope take it away." Chad wouldn't know this because he didn't open his own fan mail he did people to do that for him. He claimed that he didn't touch the same things as common people, like they were below him because he was Hollywood's bad boy. He obviously hadn't planned this trick out, whatever trick he was playing. Chad Dylan Cooper didn't do planning.

She knew that fan mail was never delivered this early because she'd always been here to receive her mail after the incident earlier that year with her fan mail and Tawni's hiding it.

"Hey I didn't do anything to it, I was just asked to bring it to you because I was on my way here. I swear. Did you know that apparently I come here every morning? Your part of Chad Dylan Cooper's daily routine how's it feel Munroe?" he had a smug look painted across and she was tempted to use her brilliant mind for a devastatingly sarcastic remark but she took a few deep breaths and answered calmly, retaining control of her temper.

"Ok Cooper, give the letter here but don't leave. You stay right here so that whatever stupid immature thing you've done this time, you'll feel the effect too. Got it"

He swaggered over to where Sonny was still standing in front of the mirror and handed her the letter, his skin accidently brushing against hers giving her the shivers.

Suspiciously she opened the flap on the envelope and taking her eyes of Chad for the first time since he'd shown her the card she looked down as she slid the letter out, the letter which turned out to be a card had 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!' printed in big letter's and Chad's eyes widened as he tried to figure out how he had forgotten Sonny's birthday. Sonny however was entranced by the writing inside the card and when Chad leaned over to read it over her shoulder he noticed the tears sliding down her cheeks.

To my Darling Alicia

Happy 16th birthday sweetheart.

To think that on this day 16 years ago I became

A father for the first time, I remember it as if it was

Yesterday. It was of course the best day of my life and I

Shall never forget it. You were my beautiful blonde baby.

Love always

Dad x

Sonny was gripping the flimsy card so hard that her knuckles were turning a funny shade of white and her breath was coming out is shaky gasp's now. Chad of course took no notice and began his tirade.

"How could you not tell me it's your 16th? I mean come on Sonny I thought we had a weird kind of friendship thing going on here but you couldn't even tell me you were 16 today?And you were blonde? Like your blonde co-star what's her name? And Alicia? Your names Sonny for Chad's sake! It's always been Sonny!"

"Chad I was born with black hair!"
her voice came out so quietly he almost missed what she was saying and had to strain his ears to hear her next words.
"My birthday was 7 months ago"
But what he heard next made him realise the reason for her tears, the reason she was staring down at the card with the complete hatred and the reason he had never heard anything about her father but plenty about her mother.

"And my name's Alison"
