New! Yay, I love new! When I use the Arabic language, every e has two dots over it.

Summary: All grown up and taking on life, Chad and Sonny are married and excited. In order to change, Chad's quit acting temporarily and joined the military. It's new and exciting, but what happens when two men show up with a letter and a document to be signed. Is Sonny keeping a secret of her own?

(???)

The lights shone dully through the sack thrown carelessly over my head. Shadows danced across my eyes with determination and pure hatred towards me.

"You, you speak English?" a man with a thick accent interrogated me. He poked me once or twice with the barrel of his gun and grunted through the smoke from the hut.

I nodded and blinked as he pulled the bag from my head. The lights blinded me and a bug floated around my head. I shook it off and looked up at the two men guarding me. Two guys to guard someone tied to a chair is ridiculous.

"I know you somewhere." The other man spoke in broken English, "You act good?" I nodded slowly, looking between the two. One of them laughed, smiling brightly, and hit the others gut. I'll call them doofus one and doofus two. Two can be the fat guy.

"Bring girl. Sillni daugter tim!" two shot behind a curtain. A woman with many beads and veils peeked around the cloth and studied me. She nodded and pulled the curtain closed.

"Laj enet! Laj enet!" wash up! wash up! Came muffled from behind the curtain. Dust mixed with the dirt and clung to my face. Doofus two puffed smoke into my face every time he laughed.

A little girl shyly walked through the curtain and smiled, hiding behind her father. I knew some Albanian and this seemed like a normal house here.

"Papa, baba!" papa, "Kjo eshte e tij, nga televizioni!" It is him, from the television!

"Yes girl, this him?" he smiled and placed his hand on her back, pushing her towards me. "You make happy, my girl, yes?" I looked at him confused but nodded anyway. "Listen, girl, nuk e them emrin e tij, eshte e djallit." I was confused even more so, don't say his name, it is the devil's.

She nodded and looked at my face. She neared and put a hand up, then poked me. I flinched and looked down at her small face. "You do scene?" I shook my head.

Number one stabbed my foot with the barrel of his gun and grunted. I winced and nodded, "Which one?"

"Watch television, it pick for us?" she bounced to the set and twisted the knob. The screen burst to life, lights flashed and danced across the room. The walls danced with brilliant colors, the curtains changing every second.

"Are you ready to get So Random!?" a voice came over the intercom. I smiled and looked down at the ground. I missed America, the randoms, especially Sonny.

"Sonny! Sonny! Baba, it's e saj!" Papa, it's her! I looked at the girl dancing as her father smiled and laughed, his belly shook. Gross.

"Check it out, I got a puppy!" Tawni bounced.

"Check it out, me too!" Sonny smiled, "Check it out dance?"

"Check it out dance!" the music blared through the set and the girls bopped their hips and twirled around. I hid a small smile and watched the girl carefully try to follow the steps.

"Girl, we watch his show, learn his lines." Her father put a hand on her shoulder as she quickly changed the channel.

"Tune in tonight for an interview with Sonny Cooper and Tawni Hart!" the man winked as the show switched to a commercial.

"Hold up," I straightened up to watch the screen. The girl twisted to look at me and backed away. Commercials for new cars that I could drive and new security systems for a house I could have, if I stayed an actor, flashed across the screen.

"We're back with the stars of So Random!, for quite a while, Sonny, no longer Monroe, Cooper and Tawni Hart! Welcome girls!" the man flashed them an overly white smile and winked. He motioned to the arm chairs placed side by side and sat behind his desk.

The little girl smiled, looking between me and Sonny, and walked over to me. "You know her?" I nodded.

"I left her three months ago," I looked at the child.

"You sad. Don't see her no more?" she furrowed her brow.

"I can't as long as I'm here." I looked back at the screen to see Tawni beaming and Sonny just barely managing a smirk.

(SPOV)

I smiled as best as I could without looking over excited. I wrote Chad a letter last month containing the greatest news. "So girls, what's it like to be more grown up and still on a kids show?"

"Well it really keeps us in touch with our inner child!" I explained.

"And I think it'll help Sonny out more than ever!" Tawni burst out giggling. Our host examined me.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he smirked and raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing, just that I'm babysitting some kids next week," I improvised poorly.

He raised his eyebrows but moved on, "So, where's Mr. Cooper right now?"

"Uh, he actually gave acting a break and is off in Afghanistan," I explained, trying to hold back tears and kept a smile on my face.

"Well, that's a big difference from Hollywood's bad boy and drama king!" he laughed, "Well, my best wishes. Ms. Hart, rumor has it that you're dating… care to share?"

"Well, I couldn't… if you insist!" she burst, "James is absolutely fabulous!" I frowned, why didn't she tell me?

"James Conroy? I'm surprised, I would think Mr. Harris or someone else." The host looked out to the audience and chuckled. "Well, Mrs. Cooper, I hear you'll be holding a press conference soon… care to share?"

"Yeah, I plan on sharing some family surprises involving my mom and other members, and I'd like to talk about when Chad should be coming back."

"Very nice," he turned back to the camera, "Sonny'll elaborate right after these commercials!" the lights died down slightly and the audience erupted with applause.

~:*:~

"Sonny, what's wrong? Why didn't you tell anyone?" Tawni pouted.

I shrugged, "I want to wait for Chad's reply. He promised to stay in touch." I explained as we threw our coats over the back of my couch. My blonde friend promised to stay at my house until Chad returned.

"Well, he better reply soon!" she complained.

I laughed and went to open the door when I heard a knock. As soon as I pulled the door open, I regretted.

"Mrs. Cooper?" I nodded slowly with my mouth open slightly, "We're very sorry ma'am." The men wore their suits, complete with white hats and metals.

I covered my mouth and shook my head, "You're lying." The man looked at his companion and handed me two envelopes with regret in his eyes. They were labeled, one with my name in pen and the other with the official military stamp.

"What is it Sonny?" Tawni came up behind me and gasped at the packets in my hands. "Oh Sonny,"

I shook my head and invited the men in for coffee. They thanked me but refused as I shut my door gently. I dropped the off white envelopes onto my dining room table and took a seat in front of them. Staring at them, I decided to open the one addressed to me.

Hey sweetheart,

I'm so excited! Wish I was with you right now to help out. I should be back soon, but it's getting pretty rough over here. Enemy's been on our tail since an accidental bombing on their tents… which was set off by one of their own. Skies are grey and full of annoying clouds that hide the sun. You're all I can think about and I'm grateful for every second. This is totally different then being on a set or being a jerk, because these guys would kill me (not literally) if I messed with them. Anyway, I miss you and I can't wait to come back.

Got to go, looks like we're under a small attack. I'll see ya soon, and… the paper smudged from a small ground shake so I really got to go!

Love you,

Chad

Now I was scared to open the second…

Just tell me if I should continue or delete. I know it's very different but I got an idea and I always go with what pops into my head. R&R!
