This story is going to be super cute and fun to write- I hope. Since my other story is a little less Channy I thought I would start this one as well. So I hope you enjoy it! :)
Sonny sat in her car, opposite her mom, nervously drumming her nails on the window.
"So how long do I have to keep him there?"
"How long, squawk, how long" A sentence came from the parrot sitting in the back seat.
"The exterminator said the fumigation will be short but we should stay out for at least a few days and even then you should probably still keep the bird away... I would say a week would probably do it."
Sonny sighed.
Connie looked over at her. "I don't understand the big deal Sonny, you love Willy."
"Sonny loves Willy, squawk, Sonny loves Willy"
"I do mom, it's just..." She looked back at the parrot pacing in his cage. She sighed, "Never mind.." She turned back to the window. "It will be fine I guess."
They pulled up to the studio and Sonny grabbed her bird to take inside.
"The food is in the back sweetie"
"Got it" She shut the door and made her way to the trunk.
"What is that?" An enthusiastic voice came from behind her.
"Oh, hey Nico. This is Willy, he's my pet bird"
"Nice!" He lifted the cage for Sonny.
"Thanks" Sonny lifted the bag of bird food "Thanks mom! Love ya!" She closed the trunk and followed behind Nico.
"Hey guys look what Sonny's got!" Nico exclaimed as he entered the prop house
"Sweet!" Grady jumped up.
Nico walked over to the coffee table and placed the bird down. Both boys crowded around it.
Sonny came dragging in behind him- bird seed in tow.
"What is that thing?" Tawni lifted her eyes from her magazine and stared at the parrot.
Zora popped off the couch "I know you've been reading a lot of Tween Weekly lately, Tawni, but let's try to focus on reality for a moment... This is what we call a bird." She squatted down next to the guys and began to examine his beautiful feathers and beak.
Tawni rolled her eyes and turned back to her magazine.
Sonny tossed down the seed and flung herself down on the couch. "It's my pet parrot." She smiled. "We're fumigating our apartment so I have to keep him at the studio for a week. He won't be a bother."
"Does he say anything?"
Sonny shrugged. "He can say a few things."
"Like what?" Zora asked
Sonny got off of the couch and knelt beside the cage.
"Willy? Who's your favorite girl?"
"Squawk, Sonny's my girl, Squawk, Sonny's my girl."
She grinned at them "See"
"Cool!" Nico smiled.
He knelt down to try it out himself. Say "Nico is the man"
"Nico is the man, squawk, Nico is the man"
They all laughed in amusement.
"Oh yeah!" He popped his collar.
"My turn, my turn" Grady shoved Nico aside. "Say Grady is the best."
"Grady is the best, Grady is the best."
"Sweet!"
"Big deal!" Tawni rolled her eyes.
"Oh, don't be jealous just because he knows more words than you, Tawni" Sonny laughed.
They joined in.
"Tawni is a diva, squawk, Tawni is a diva"
Tawni's eyes widened.
Sonny froze and slowly turned her gaze toward Tawni.
"I wonder who taught him that?" The blonde raised her brow to her.
Sonny smiled nervously.
"Oh, it's a universal truth, Tawni" Nico threw his hand up at the star.
Tawni reached over and whacked him with the magazine.
"Hey Kiddos!" Marshall came in the door.
The kids all stood quickly to greet him.
"Look Marshall, Sonny brought in her pet parrot." Zora smiled
"It won't be a problem!" Sonny was quick to assure
Marshall looked over at the bird. "I don't know Sonny the studio's not big on random animals just sitting around. They might think someone ordered him."
"We'll keep it in our dressing room."
"No we wont!" Tawni interjected.
"Well as long as it's out of the way." Marshall hesitantly shrugged.
Sonny smiled "Thanks Marshall"
Tawni widened her eyes. "I don't want that filthy..."
"Two against one!" Zora interrupted.
Tawni gave her an annoyed look. Then turned back to Sonny.
"Fine but that thing better not touch my stuff."
"He's in a cage Tawni!"
"Sqwack, Tawni's a diva, Tawni's a diva"
Sonny tried to hold back a smile. While the others laughed under their breath.
She gave the bird a mean look. "Whatever" She threw her hair over her shoulder and walked out.
"Look," Marshall brought his voice down. "Don't let anyone else know that it's here... I don't want any trouble."
"Got it" Sonny agreed.
"Come on guys!" He motioned the kids to himself. "Let's get going."
The kids jumped up and followed.
Sonny took a breath of relief. She walked over to her bird.
Then glancing around to make sure no one else was there she squatted down by her pet.
"Look Willy, let's not go repeating everything we hear at home ok?"
"Squawk, Tawni's a diva, squawk, Tawni's a diva."
Sonny groaned "Yes like that!" She shook her head in frustration. "What's at home, we leave at home. Got it?"
"Leave at home, squawk, leave at home." Sonny took a hopeful breath then lifted the cage and made her way down the hallway.
Sonny was very stealthy all the way to her dressing room.
"Alrighty let's get you inside." She groaned as she placed him in front of the door. "Wow, you have got to lose some weight." She rubbed her sore wrist then reached over and grabbed the knob.
"Oh, no" The knob didn't turn. "Tawni must have locked it." She looked around quickly. "I'll be right back, don't move" With that she darted down the hall for Tawni.
The bird sat there very quietly until it heard something coming from around the corner.
"Squawk, I know karate, squawk, I know karate." He paced back and forth boldly.
Josh peered over the large boxes on his mail cart and saw Willy.
"You must be the bird they need on set." He rolled his eyes. "Why don't they deliver these to the front desk like they are suppose to."
He lifted the heavy bird onto his mail cart and made his way down the hall.
"Going for a ride, Squawk, going for a ride."
Sonny arrived a few minutes later.
"Finally" She looked up from the keys in her hand.
Her eyes grew wide. "Uh... Willy?"
She glanced around the corner. "Willy?"
'Maybe someone came by and placed him inside.' She found the right key from the key chain and shoved it into the hole.
She glanced around and spotted no bird. "Willy?"
She ran over to her closet and then to Tawni's.
"Willy?" She looked around her makeup table- Nothing.
"Here birdie birdie!" She continued her scanning "Oh man..." she dropped her chest and shook her head. "This is not good!"
