New story-- Whoop! Yeah, so this is just a short prologue, but I hope you like it so far :) This one will have some Channy, but other relationships/plot lines as well. I'm thinking fairly short... about 8 chapters-ish. Also, I'm kind of using a choppy (not too terribly detailed) writing style, so I hope you like it :) Also, I wrote this at 5 am, so sorry if it's terrible :/ ROUGHLY EDITED.

Dedication: Emily/DrowningxInxSapphirex (TheRealZoraL on Twitter) because she wants to be me. ^_^ LOL, totally inside joke, love ya Em. We're marrying TWO Chads :P Anyway...

Credits: Larry completely belongs to Emily (as RP Zora) so I have to say that he would not exist if for her.

Summary: When Zora places a hidden camera around the studio, what kind of secrets will come out? Sonny/Chad and others. Multi-chapter.

Prologue: Chad Dylan Cooper is Afraid of Mice

~*~

Crash! Bang! Boom!

"Aaahhhhhhh!"

"What the heck is going on?!" Tawni exclaimed, a bewildered look adorning her features.

"I have no idea!" Sonny shouted in reply. "But it sounded painful," she winced.

"Ouch!" a nasally voiced piped from the air vent above the girls' dressing room.

"Zora? Are you okay?" Sonny panicked, grabbing the nearest chair to stand on. "What happened?"

"Remember my pet mouse Larry?" Zora asked in a huff.

"Unfortunately," Tawni droned.

"Well it turns out that Larry found a girlfriend…"

"Ew, there's two of them?" Tawni screeched with disgust.

"Well, there's more than two…" Zora trailed.

"You mean--"

"Yeah, Larry's girlfriend is now a mommy, and there are babies everywhere!" Zora announced happily.

"Ew gross!" Tawni squeaked, frantically surveying the room.

"They're not down there!" Zora shrugged. "They're all up here in the vents!"

"Ew, filtering our clean air!" Tawni whined, jutting her lips in a pout.

"As I was saying," Zora ignored Tawni and continued, "Some of them ran off… I was chasing them through the vents."

"So, did you get them all?" Sonny asked, finally able to get a word in.

"Yeah, all except one…" she answered sadly. "That's what all that commotion was. They're safe in their cage now… except for poor Larry Jr." she sighed. Her melodramatic mood changed quickly. "Wanna see?" her face lit up excitedly.

"We'll pass," Sonny and Tawni responded simultaneously.

"You two are no fun," Zora pouted.

BAM!

All three girls jumped and diverted attention to their dressing room door-- which had just been kicked in by a three-named jerkthrob.

"Oh, it's just another rat," Sonny zipped with an eye roll. "Maybe Zora should cage you too."

"They're not rats!" Zora rebutted, offended. "They're mice," she correctly, cuddling a baby in her hands.

"What are you doing here anyway Chad?" Sonny ventured, annoyance evident in her tone.

"Well I was walking down the hall and heard some loud crashes and--"

"You were worried?" Sonny interrupted, a smirk flashing across her face.

"Hah, you wish Munroe," Chad scoffed, performing his nervous tick-- rubbing the back of his neck.

"I think you were," her smirk widened to a smile.

"Psh, was not," he denied, crossing his arms across his chest.

By this time Tawni had grown bored and fled the room for non-fat pink fro-yo (minus the sprinkles).

"Then why did you kick open our door?" Sonny asked smugly, gesturing to the now dented door.

"I was... practicing for an upcoming episode of Mackenzie Falls where Chloe has been kidnapped and Mackenzie goes to rescue her--" he rambled, but was cut off by Sonny's finger pressed against his oh-so-sexy lips.

"I get it, suuure," she teased, elongating 'sure' causing his face to flush.

"Well, I uh… gotta go," Chad announced quickly, dodging the situation entirely. Suddenly Sonny's eyes widened and she made contact with his sparkly orb(s).

"Chad. Don't. Move."

"I knew you'd want me to stay," Chad cocked a smile as he straightened the tie of his uniform.

"No, really," Sonny enforced. "There's a baby mouse... right behind your foot. Don't crush it," she pleaded.

"Mouse?!" Chad shrieked as he ran over and wrapped his arms around Sonny's shoulders, hiding his face in her hair. Puzzled, she shivered at his embrace. Once Chad realized this was not helping his phobia, he made a mad dash for the lounger and stood on top of it.

"Get that monstrosity out of here!" he raged, pointing a finger at Larry Jr.

Sonny shot him a disbelieving look and stated with as much sarcasm as even Sue Sylvester could muster, "Wow, my knight in shining armor is afraid of a baby mouse."

~*~

Zora scooped up the baby mouse, flaunting it for a second in Chad's face, before placing it back in the cage with his family.

"He's just threatened by you because you're cuter than he is," Zora cooed innocently, flashing Chad an evil eye.

Chad finally slunk off the lounger and began to head out the door.

"By the way, this is between us," Chad warned, giving Sonny a 'I'll-kill-you-if-you-dish' look.

Sonny stifled a laugh. "Oh, but I thought we didn't have any secrets between us."

"I mean it Munroe, or you're dead to me."

"I'll keep that in mind," she laughed hastily, flashing him a wink as he left the room blushing furiously.

Who knew that of all things Chad Dylan Cooper was afraid of a tiny mouse.

~*~

Zora sat on the couch in the Prop House, her feet propped up on the coffee table as she relaxed, cradling Larry Jr., when suddenly she had an epiphany! She put the baby rodent back in his cage and began to cackle wildly while rubbing her hands together.

"Z, what are you doing?" Nico asked curiously, passing by the otherwise empty room.

"Oh... nothing," she replied with an innocent smile.

"Uh... sure..." Nico responded nervously, then continued down the hall.

If Chad Dylan Cooper was afraid of a teeny little mouse... what other secrets does he have? Or... who else could be hiding something as embarrassing as an animal phobia, or maybe even something bigger? Or better...?

Zora returned to her vent, scouring her area until she found it. She held the tiny spy cam as if it were pure gold... and maybe it would be.

She retreated down to the common area (the ground level not above everyone's heads) and tapped her chin deviously. Where would she hide it first? Who did she want to get some dirt on?

After a few moments of deliberating, Zora zoomed in on her first victim. She casually glided down the hallway (whistling nonchalantly) and she zeroed in on him.

A/N Terrible? Awesome? Please lemme know. This totally took off in a complete opposite direction of what I had planned. Yes, not super discriptive, but... maybe I can update more efficiently then. Please R&R. I love you all! ~Carrie
