I've seen Fast Friends, and am super excited for the next one (and SO glad I have Fios, lol). I called it from the very first scene together, so I'm rather proud. I think it's kinda fast, but we'll see where the writers take it.

So this first chapter was written after the first episode with Chad, I think. It's not AU, but it doesn't really fit into any episode. I guess we could call it a missing moment from whenever you choose. I hope you like it. Please review and let me know how I can improve. It's been a while since I've written anything. thanks!

Disclaimer: Don't own Sonny with a Chance or anything connected to it. Would be awesome though, wouldn't it?

Lessons Learned

In her defense, she tried not to laugh. Perhaps not as hard as she could have, but she did try.

He, on the other hand, did not bother to soften his glare. "Stop that. It's not as easy at it looks," he muttered, tugging at the lopsided strip of red cloth around his neck.

"It's too funny. Wait till I tell the others."

He chose to ignore her giggles and resume his struggle.

Her smile softened at the frustration on his face. "Here, let me." She batted away his hands and stepped close.

He stood stiff, uncomfortably aware of how close she was to him. She was chattering away about a proper method, but all he could focus on was that her hair smelled really good, like some type of flower. He was trying to unobtrusively figure out what the exact scent was when she stepped away, smiling.

"And that is how you tie a tie."

"How do you know how to do that?"

"My dad taught me. Oh wait," she reached her arms around his neck, and he jumped away from her.

"What are you doing?"

She shot him a strange look. "Fixing your collar." She reached up and adjusted the collar, smoothing the tie down. "There. Need anything else? I can fix your hair too if you want," she teased.

Normally, he would have a witty comeback ready and waiting, but the tingle that ran through his body at her touch confused him. He just shook his head mutely, staring at her.

"Chad? Are you okay?"

The concern in her voice woke him up. It was bad enough she had such a strange impact on him; no need for her to know it.

"Wow, I didn't realize you Chuckle City people were multi-talented." Lame, but it managed to distract Sonny, which was he wanted in the first place.

She rolled her eyes, annoyed. "A thank you would have sufficed." She glanced at her watch. "Whatever, I've got rehearsal."

He watched her walk off, unconsciously fiddling with his tie. Before he could stop himself, he called out to her.

"Hey, Sonny." She stopped and turned around, obviously preparing for an insult

"Yeah?"

Deep breath. "Thanks."

A/N: I usually hate adding these at the end, but I have a question. I'm debating on making this a chapter fic on different lessons Sonny can teach Chad (or vice versa). Let me know if you think I should keep going or if you have ideas for it. I'm actually getting some as I write this. Thanks so much you guys!
