"Wow, Sonny!" Nico shouted as he walked into Sonny's apartment, looking around at the decorations. Sonny beamed at him, "Thanks, I worked hard."

Tawni muffled a chuckle, "Uh, Sonny, I think he means 'wow, this looks so lame!' isn't that right Nico?" She said smugly.

Sonny turned to Nico after a few moments of awkward silence, "Really Nico?" She asked him, with sad eyes.

"Um, well it doesn't exactly look like the best party I've ever been to." Nico replied quietly.

"Well, if that's how you all feel, maybe you should all leave." Sonny said with tears forming in her eyes.

"Sonny, I'm sure-" Grady started but Sonny raised her hand,

I'm going to get changed, and if I'm back and you're all gone, I'll get the message.' She said and stormed to her room.

Sonny twirled in front of the long mirror in her short, aqua blue dress, watching the way it swirled when she moved.

She was sure the colour reminded her of something she loved, but she couldn't quite place her finger on it.

Slowly, she walked along the corridor, scared of finding that the living room was empty and all her friends had left.

Luckily, everyone was still there, and the Mackenzie Falls cast had arrived too. Yeah, I guess you're wondering, why were they there?

Well, somehow Mr. Condor had found out about Sonny's party and forced her to invite the Mackenzie Falls cast too.

But Sonny thought that the somehow may just have been Chad.

Mr Condor's reason was because he 'thought it would make the two casts bond'. But, c'mon! Even Sonny's peace picnic didn't work!

Tawni and Nico were sat in the corner of the brightly painted room, looking guiltily at each other, and when Nico noticed Sonny stood at the door he nudged Tawni.

Sonny watched them walk towards her,

"Listen, Sonny. I didn't want to make you upset. I'm sorry; this will be an awesome party. Can you forgive me?" Nico asked her, taking her hand.

Sonny nodded, a smile appearing as Nico kissed her hand gently and flashed a smile back. Tawni's was almost jealous as she watched the two together. Almost.

"Yeah," Tawni interrupted them, "I mean, Portlyn has brought some booze, so it'll be a real party now." She said smugly as she watched the news sink into Sonny's face.

Her eyes widened, "Portlyn has brought alcohol? But my mom would kill me if she found out!" Sonny exploded, making everyone in the room look at her.

Chad had only just noticed her appearance but she still looked amazing even when her eyes were nearly popping out of her head.

"Dude. Stop staring. She'll think you're a freak." Devon hissed into Chad's ear as Sonny continued to shout.

Chad slapped him playfully, "Shut up man. I don't even like her." He argued, occasionally looking at her. Devon raised his eyebrows, "I'll believe that when pigs fly."

Chad smiled smugly, "In actual fact, a pig did fly. And it got in the way of us kissing... And I'm gonna shut up now." Chad said, shaking his head in embarrassment.

"Yeah man, you told me about that. Well, if you don't want her, I'll have her." Devon winked at him. "You know what Devon, just... shut up." Chad said, smirking.

"Thought so. Now, where is the little freaky one? She seems cool." Devon said, scanning the room. Chad laughed, "Zora? You mean you like Zora?"

Chad waved his hand in front of Devon's eyes and knocked on his head, "Hello, is there anything actually in there?" Chad asked him jokingly.

"Eh, she isn't that bad. With a little bit of a tone down, she'd look okay." He defended just as she walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey Devon, I heard you talking about me." Zora said, raising her eyebrows questioningly.

"Yeah I was just telling Chad how you aren't that bad looking." Devon replied, giving a smile.

"Um, thankyou?" Zora replied, not knowing which way to take his comment. "No problem. So, how did you know we were talking about you?" He asked her.

"Oh," Zora smiled and pointed Chad and Devon's chests, "I installed microphones into your ties." She said proudly.

Chad grimaced, "Um, Zora? Did you happen to hear our conversation that Devon and I were just talking about?" He asked nervously.

She grinned, "Oh yeah. And Chad? Your secret isn't safe with me."

Chad was about to reply but Devon spoke before he had a chance, "Wow, that's awesome. Wanna dance?" He asked.

Zora shrugged, "Yeah. Why not?" Chad's eyes were wide as he watched the two walk away, leaving him speechless. So Zora knew now that he liked Sonny.

Well damn. He was dead meat.

He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to look, "Hey Chad." Her voice tinkled lightly. He smiled faintly, "Hey Sonny."

"So, you think my party is lame too?" She asked quietly, looking down to the floor. Chad tried to think of an insult but he couldn't hurt her even more, "No, it's great."

She lifted her head slightly, "Really?" She asked, smiling a little. "Yeah. Well, it will be once it gets started." He replied.

"Thanks Chad." Sonny beamed, noticing the unusually kind behaviour, "So, why are you being nice all of a sudden?"

"Well, I knew you'd expect me to be mean tonight, so I knew I just had to be nice." He tried explaining his logic, which didn't make sense.

Sonny laughed, "Well then I definitely expect you to be mean tonight." "Well good... So, do you want a drink?" He asked her.

She sighed, "Sure, why not. I mean, it's not like I'm going to get drunk or anything..."

Please, please R&R. I don't mind whether your reviews are critical, to help me, or telling me that you like my stories.
