More Drabble.
I love drabble.
I think this is another one of the many reasons that Sonny has trouble in math...
Also, shout out to .jesus you're cool. And thank you for the compliments. I really appreciate it. Seriously. And everyone else who reviewed my other stories in this fandom: Green and Romance Novels. You guys make me smile.
Oh, and I didn't let you guys know this in the other stories, but the whole owning thing. I don't do it. It's just too much responsibility. I'd rather just think I own Sterling Knight. (in my dreams...literally)

Day Dream
She really couldn't help it.
No matter how much she begged and pleaded with her brain.
Without any help, the board started to become foggy and all the numbers in her head started to spill out through her ears. Her chin fell lightly into her hand and her eyes drooped until she saw black.
Then all she could see was arm of the sofa.
She lifted her head up to find that she was in the prop house.
She must have fallen asleep...which meant that Tawni must have been lecturing her about her makeup habits again.
"Sonny!"
She looked up and watched as Nico and Grady came over and plopped down next to her.
"We've been looking everywhere for you." Grady found the remote to the tv smiled, pushing the button so that he was given a view of a random TV network.
"Yeah, what happened to you? We waited for you, but Marshal wanted us to get done with rehearsal..."
She pushed her hair out of she face. "Oh my gosh! I missed rehearsal. I hope he's not mad."
Grady shrugged. "He looked a little steamed, but nothin' a little massage couldn't fix."
Nico nodded. "He said he wanted to see you though. Something about having a talking to or something...nothing to worry about."
She bolted up off of the couch and jumped over Grady's legs. "I'm going to go talk to him before he gets too mad."
Then she started running down the hallway. She didn't mean to miss practice. Really. She didn't even know that she had fallen asleep. She couldn't even remember what she had been doing before she fell asleep.
She continued to run until she turned a sharp right and right into a wall...or something like it...
"Hey. What's the rush Monroe?"
She looked up at him through her distraught bangs. "I-I was just..." She blinked and shook her head. "I don't..."
Chad smiled when she didn't continue. "I knew you didn't have enough." He took her hands in his and pulled her to him.
Only it wasn't the smirk that she was use to just yet. It was that smile he gave her every so often when Chad Dylan Cooper let Chad take the reins. It was the one that had her confused most days, on the edge every time she saw him, and flustered when she was near him.
"Um..." She composed herself and looked around them. "What do you mean?"
"You and me shouldn't have quit as soon as we did." He licked his lips. "I'm surprised that you came to me this time though. Usually I have to track you down and there's that whole wild goose chase thing that happens."
She shook her head. "You mean...I was with you? When?"
He smiled. "'Bout ten minutes ago." He lifted his hand to her head and pushed back some of her hair. "Are you okay? Did you hit your head or something?"
She sighed. She had no idea what he was talking about. She didn't remember anything.
"Look, I'll meet you in your room in about ten minutes. I gotta go to the set really quick and shoot a scene. Shouldn't take too long." He eyed her. "But just to be sure you remember..."
He leaned forward. Too fast for her to process exactly what was happening, but slow enough that she could have easily pulled away. She didn't.
Lightly, ever so lightly, he brushed his lips against hers, leaving a tingling sensation that spread from her lips, throughout her body, and all the way down to her toes.
She breathed. Her eyes fluttered open slowly.
"Ten minutes, Sonny."
Then he was gone down the way that she had came from.
Well that was just...nice.
Then she turned around.
"Tawni!"
There she was, standing there with her purse in hand and mouth slightly agape. "Sonny!"
She held her hands up in front of her. "It's not what you think!"
Tawni glared. "I know what I saw." She stomped her foot. "Sonny, you promised!"
"There's nothing going on."
"You said I could take you shopping today to get you the outfit for the Tween Awards. You said: No Chad today. At all. Promise."
She frowned. "Today? So...he has me...other days?"
Tawni looked her up and down. "Well, duh. Are you okay? Did you bump your head or something?" She held up a hand to stop her from talking. "Forget it. Go see him for a while...we're leaving at six sharp, so get him out of your system now."
Then she was gone down another hallway Sonny didn't know was there.
She looked around for anyone else that was going to show themselves. "Okay..."
She stared down the empty hallway. "I'm confused...I'm freaking out...and I'm a little flustered."
She started down the hall again toward Marshal's office, one heal in front of the other.
Wait...heal?
She looked down at her feet to find that she wasn't in her Converse, but in five inch black heals with a black dress on that ended at mid thigh.
And for some reason she was heading toward a stage.
Two people were standing there smiling at her and clapping along with the audience.
She smiled back at them in reflex and took something that one of them was gesturing for her to take. Then she turned toward the mike. She couldn't see anything five feet in front of her, the bright spotlight too overbearing to let her see the faces of the people looking at her.
"Um...Thank you."
There was a roar of applause. She didn't know exactly what was going on, but somehow she knew what to do. When the stadium quieted down a bit she continued.
"Some people that I'd like to thank...Um, the rest of the cast: Nico, Grady, Tawni, Zora, and our producer Marshal Pike. All of the people who work behind the scenes, obviously we wouldn't be able to get anything done without you. Umm, my mom who's supported me from the beginning..."
She glanced down at the plaque at the bottom of the award.
Best Female Comedy Actor
She breathed. There was one more.
"And umm...I wanna say thank you to Chad. Dylan Cooper, that is. Um, I know we've had our ups and downs, mostly downs, but I'm glad we've gotten as far as we have so far and I'm looking forward to our future. You were always there supporting me...even if it was in the wrong way."
There was a loud applause along with a lot of laughs.
"And also, this is for my dad who couldn't be here because he's too busy watching over me. You told me to do what I love and I did. You got me here."
She blew a kiss toward the sky.
"Sonny."
She turned toward one of the people who had handed her the award, but they only shook their head.
"Sonny?"
When she looked back out at the stadium, the light was gone, and there was no longer the many faces looking up at her.
"Sonny! Wake up!"
Her eyes opened and the first thing she saw was the mahogany of the desktop.
She lifted her head quickly.
Tawni, Grady, Nico, and Zora were all looking at her expectantly.
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you what happened." Zora crossed her arms over her chest. "You fell asleep halfway through the distance formula."
She raised a brow. "Huh?"
"Exactly."
Quickly she wiped her chin. "Am I in trouble?"
Nico shook his head. "Nah, luckily for you Grady and I put on a sort of distraction."
Grady smiled. "She loves our voice tricks."
Sonny glance over at Tawni as the others left the room. "I didn't...say anything did I?"
Tawni picked up her books and headed for the door. "Not really..."
As Tawni stepped out of the door, Sonny sighed in relief. She knew she had a knack of talking in her sleep. If they heard anything...she'd never hear the end of it.
"Although," the voice came from the doorway. Tawni peeked her head in the room. "If your going to thank Chad separately, thank me separately too, even though I'll be the one to win the award."
There was a smirk on her face as she left the room, her heals clicking against the floor.
Well this was just...nice.

I told you it was drabble. Short little drabble.
Let me know what you think. I'm starting to get use to this kind of writing now, which is nice and makes me think I'll be posting more of these more often.
Yeah! I'm excited. Are you?
You guys are crazy awesome by the way. I've never written for such a supportive fandom!
