Well Let me know what you think! Review please! I always love hearing from you!
~*~Special Channy Christmas Story of 2009~*~
Sonny bounced her way into the main department of the studios. She took in a deep breath and smiled at the aroma. Pine and Cinnamon greeted her senses and it tickled her. Christmas was right around the corner. She was going home for the holidays. She was just too excited for work to be done and over with that day. Her flight was set for 6 pm and she was all packed. Her bags were in her dressing room waiting to be boarded on a plane this evening. She really couldn't have been happier.
"Any news from the airport yet?" she smiled brightly. Her eyes were glistening with cheer.
"Not yet." a small woman came towards her, holding a clip board in one hand and radio in the other.
"Okay." she kept her smile bright and big with the news, "I'm just going to go rehearse." she waved and walked out backwards." she was obviously to cheerful because some of the crew were becoming annoyed.
As she backed out of the room, she turned on her heel and slammed right into someone.
"I am soo-" she paused her honest consideration, "Oh. It's just you." she said sarcastically, noticing a blonde-haired boy, none other then, Chad Dylan Cooper. He cocked his eyebrow in amusement. Obviously it didn't scorn him, it only intrigued his playfulness.
"Seasons Greetings, Monroe." he said mocked her outfit. She had a red and green dress on, that came about 2 inches above her knee. It was actually very attractive on her. It curved her figure perfectly and it brought out her hair and eyes. Also, the small broach that was on her left chest, of a reindeer with a Santa hat on it.
"Cooper." she said with pure dislike.
"Try watching were you're going next time." he gave her a rude smirk and brushed past her.
"Whatever Chad. Nothing you say or do is going to get me today." she aroused his attention. He turned around and looked at her with wide beautiful curious eyes.
"Really, Sonny? Really?"
"Forget it Chad." she gave him an amused look and laughed. He eyed her smile and he felt the urgency to know grow.
"Why you so fancy today?" he couldn't help but notice how adorably cute she looked in her new outfit.
"Because it's the holidays." she eyed him suspiciously. She became a bit frazzled and worried how she looked, even though she knew it looked good on her. Somehow Chad's little remarks about stuff seemed to get her confidence every time.
"I can tell." he smirked, "you look like a Christmas tree." he started to laugh, while her cheeks fumed red and her anger simmered.
"You are one heck of jerk you know that!?" she snapped at him.
"Well would you look at that." he toyed with her in an awe voice. He won that round for sure. She gave him a pouted face with a scrunched nose and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Have a Merry Christmas." he made a click sound with his tongue and snapped his fingers and pointed at her as he stalked off down the hall towards stage 2.
Sonny stormed into the prop house and propped herself on the couch.
"Hey, hey, Sonny!" Nico said excitedly. "excited about leaving tonight?"
"Of course." she forced a smile and quickly remembered that she was leaving. She wouldn't have to see Chad for 2 weeks. She felt the happiness flood over her once again.
"What are you doing for the holidays?" Sonny asked Nico.
"I'm going to my girls parents home in Washington." he smiled. "I'm…uhh…"
"Excited?" she helped.
"Nervous." he shook his head, but broke into another grin, "but for her, it's worth it." Sonny smiled at him. Tawnie entered the room and had a bunch of bags behind her, carried by Josh.
"I don't see why I have to carry these." he complained.
"Because it's your job, duhh." she flipped her hair and smiled.
"I'm the mail guy." he corrected her.
"Same thing. You deliver stuff and I need those delivered to the limo outside waiting for me." she stated in a high perky voice.
"Tawnie, where are you going with all those bags?" SOnny asked.
"Oh family is vacationing in Paris for the holiday. So that's were I'm off too."
"Sounds like fun." Sonny humored, even though it did seem wonderful. She just didn't like the idea of leaving the country on Christmas. She believed in the old traditions. At home with snow, lights, family, dinner, and where she grew up. Christmas in Wisconsin was absolutely amazing.
"Where are you going Sonny?" she asked with sarcasm dripping in her tone.
"Back home." Sonny became excited again. She was always smiling and so cheery. Especially today.
"Sounds…..not fun." she dug into her purse and pulled out a mirror. Sonny rolled her eyes but didn't let her small smile fade away. It only shrunk.
"Sonny, I've got news." Marshal exclaimed as he walked in the prop house. His face seemed glum but Sonny didn't care to notice it. She was to caught up from the word "news".
"The airport?" she gleamed, with her smile so wide.
"No….well, yes- Sonny, all flights to Wisconsin have been canceled." her eyes widened!
"WHAT!" she screamed.
"Yeah, it seems that the main airports have shut down because of the blizzard warnings they have been receiving." Sonny stood there and shook her head constantly, trying to refuse the worse news of her life.
"I'm sorry Sonny, but it looks like your stuck in LA for the holiday." his tone was sincere and genuine.
"No, no, no." she muttered softly, "Mom." she whispered. She just starred at the floor and held back her tears. Marshal patted her on the shoulder and walked out. Nico, Tawnie and Josh just looked at her from behind the couch. They didn't know what to do. They couldn't take Sonny with them. It was just plain awful for her.
"Sonny" Nico started, "Girl I am so sorry." he touched her shoulder with his hand.
"Yeah, I'm sure things will clear up and you will make it out there in time." Josh tried to reassure her.
"Well that's just awful!" Tawnie said, " you in LA by yourself for Christmas." she pouted.
"It's okay you guys." Sonny walked towards the doors, "I will be fine. Don't you worry about me." she faked a weak smile, "you guys have a great Christmas." and with that she walked out of the prop house.
Sonny sat outside in the parking lot on the trunk of her car. She was sitting Indian style and she had been crying for a good hour. She was devastated. No Christmas this year. She kept looking at her recent text from her mother. Her mom's phone kept dropping out when Sonny tried to call. So they settled for a text.
"Sonny." Chad said sarcastically as he strutted his stuff past her and her car towards his own. He heard her sniffle and was aware immediately that something was wrong when she didn't reply back.
"Sonny? What's wrong?" he asked cautiously.
"Just go away." she whispered so softly, he barely caught it.
"No, Sonny. What's bothering you Sunshine?" he used his charm and it worked.
"Just personal stuff." she looked away from him. Playing with her phone in her hands. Then he noticed something. Josh had said Sonny was suppose to be gone by 6 pm. It was 5:30 and she wasn't at the airport.
"Wait- why are you still here?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, shouldn't you be at the Air port?" he went over it in his head and was clueless to what was going on. He knew something was up.
"Nope." she stretched her legs out and crossed them and leaned back on the window.
"I thought you left at 6?" She looked at him.
"How did you know?"
"I'm the head actor on the lot." he stated with a cocky voice, "I'm aware of everything." he smirked.
"There you go again." she gave him a glare.
"Do you need a ride?"
"Not from you." she spit at him. He was taken back by her hostility and tried again.
"Is your car running okay?"
"Chad, I'm staying here for Christmas. Now go home." she let out with aggression yet her voice was calm.
"Oh." he looked down. Now he knew what was up. He knew she was by herself. He overheard her talking the other day about her mom leaving for Wisconsin a few days early and that Sonny would meet her later.
"That's terrible." he said with a soft voice, that made her look at him with watery eyes. She shook her head and started to cry. Chad wasn't sure what to do. He wasn't use to handling this stuff. He made girls cry all the time, he didn't watch them cry on their own for "Non-Chad" reasons.
"Hey don't cry." He said awkwardly. Sonny pulled her knees to her chest and buried her face on them.
"Why don't you just come home with me?" he offered. "what the hell are you doing?" he thought to himself. It was odd for him to act this way. Never had he ever taken a girl home to his family. Why now? Sonny looked at him with puffy eyes and a blank expression. He realized how vulnerable she was and how beautiful she looked like that. It was awful to see her that way but it opened another door to Sonny Monroe.
"Really?" she sniffed.
"Yeah, really." he smirked. He had true concern on his face though which kept his features more serious then normal.
"No, Chad, I couldn't."
"Why? Yes you can." he found himself arguing with her. Now was not the best time for that and he knew that.
"Chad I can't just show up uninvited. You're family will be there and your parents. It's just rude." he broke into a soft laugh as he spoke to her.
"Sonny, if my mom knew that you were by yourself on Christmas and I didn't invite you" he broke off, continuing his laughing ,"no, she wouldn't have it."
"Chad-"
"Really, Sonny. Just come home with me." he interrupted her. "and if we can get you to Wisconsin between tomorrow and Christmas, we'll do it."
"Are you sure?" she asked innocently with a slight smile forming on her face.
"Of course." Chad smiled back, holding his hand out to her. She smiled and took his hand and he helped her off the trunk. He felt the electric current shoot through him for a mere few seconds. He couldn't explain it and didn't try to. He let go of her hand as soon as she was on her own two feet and picked up the luggage sitting next to the back tire.
"Oh Chad." Sonny said. Chad turned to her.
"Yeah?"
"What about my car?" Sonny couldn't just leave it there in the parking lot. It was a bad idea. Just an honest disaster waiting to happen.
"Here, get in my car" he handed her his keys, "and I'll park yours in the Mackenzie Falls garage." Sonny took his keys carefully and dropped hers in his hand.
"Okay." Chad walked past her to get in her car.
"and Chad?"
"Yeah?" he said again, looking at her over the hood of her car.
"Thanks." she said warmly with a smile.
"Anytime." he smirked and got inside of her car.
