Hey guys! So this is my first fanfic and I hope you all enjoy it :) I've just realised the first chapter is REALLY, REALLY short, so sorry for that :L Urm I hope you like it, even if you don't leave a review and help me improve!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sonny with a Chance or any of it's characters, however, the plots and original characters ARE mine =D

Tawni's Conscience

The brunette actress sighed as she sat down at her vanity table and looked at the entire reflection of her dressing room in the mirror. She saw her best friend, Tawni, looking in her own mirror, smiling to herself as she registered her own perfectness. She saw the pictures of Tawni covering nearly the entire wall on her side of the dressing room.

Wouldn't it be nice, she thought to herself, if I were able to be content with what I saw in the mirror?

The usually self-absorbed Tawni couldn't concentrate on herself today and that worried her. Ever since small-town Sonny had arrived on "So Random!" Tawni had started to change, unknowingly unto Sonny and herself. She had begun to notice things around her and it annoyed the blonde actress no end. Today she noticed the quietness in her shared dressing room, she was fully aware of her friend sitting no more than 15 feet away, yet she couldn't hear the happy tone of Sonny trying to get her attention about some sketch she had thought of for the show. Actually, now she thought of it she hadn't even received a greeting from Sonny today. Trying to ignore the weirdness of Sonny she looked herself straight in the eyes and smiled chanting in her head,

I'm Tawni Hart and I'm a star!

Remembering when she last used that line just made her smile more profound. It was when she was trying to win Hayden over by pretending she was just as down-to-earth as Sonny. After that disastrous first date - which resulted in Sonny's door being knocked down; Nico, Grady and surprisingly Chad all showing up in her apartment and everyone but Sonny being sick in various different rooms – Tawni and Hayden tried to date properly with no secrets between them, however neither of the pair could feel any spark in their relationship so they broke up on good terms. Tawni realised all Sonny had done for her, she was feeling… grateful to the naïve actress and her smile faltered. The smile completely fell from her face when she heard a quiet sigh from across the room. Once again, Tawni tried to ignore the feeling of caring that was slowly filling her up by repeating the chant over and over, however when a new sensation that came from the very pit of her stomach took place, she knew she had to talk to Sonny. Tawni's conscience had finally come to life.

"Sonny…" She said cautiously getting up from her chair and walking over to the other side of the dressing room, "Are you okay?" Sonny jumped at an awkward hand on her shoulder and focused in on Tawni's reflection.

"Yeah thanks Tawn," Sonny fake-smiled looking anywhere but Tawni's eyes,

"Sonny, I know it's surprising what with how I look and all but I'm not a stupid person, so don't treat me like one. I've known you a long time now, so I know when you're not being your usual, sunny self." The two girls half smiled at the bad joke.

"It's nothing really Tawni, it's just that I've been here for nearly 8 months now and I am starting to feel really homesick." Even though Tawni was trying to be supportive, one part of her sort of hoped Sonny would still refuse to spill her problems, she wasn't a real problem-person. She had no idea how to cheer up the Wisconsin girl in a way that would feel like home, she could take her shopping but Tawni knew that wouldn't appeal to Sonny, even on a good day.

A loud mooing filled up the dressing room and Tawni wondered for a split second if they had somehow landed in Wisconsin. Sonny reached for her phone which was resting on the side of the vanity table, without looking at the caller ID she picked up.

"Hello?" She answered in monotone. The person on the other end wasn't improving Sonny's mood, in fact her face seemed to be getting darker with the seconds.

"Oh really, is that true?" Her voice rose with anger and sarcasm, Tawni had never seen this side of her before and it was slightly unnerving.

"Well, I'm so sorry I couldn't come down then." She abruptly put the phone down and chucked it onto the coach that was positioned behind her. A look of pure hatred was splashed across Sonny's face and Tawni once again tried to comfort her.

"What's happened?!" Her voice was high-pitched due to concern and fear at Sonny's mood. Tawni stood up and place an awkward arm around her friend.

"That was my Aunt. I've been feeling homesick for a while so my mum called her up and asked if I could stay around theirs for a week but I never counted on my cousin, Miranda, to be so hateful! We've never really seen eye to eye and we always used to play pranks on each other. She's my age so we were always in the same classes and she was the popular one and she liked to brag about it as often as she could but as soon and I became popular on the internet she was even more spiteful. My aunt just told me that due to one of Miranda's friend's parents going through a divorce she would have to use the spare room the week I was down there. I know it was all lies though!" Tawni couldn't think how to make her best friend feel better and that really pissed her off, nothing defeats Tawni Hart!

"Hey Sonny, why don't you just go home now and spend some time with your mother? It's obvious you need to be closer to home right now and I know I have to be the furthest away from mud and cows as you can get! I'll tell Marshall you have a headache" Sonny half smiled at Tawni and gave her a hug.

"Thank you Tawn, I owe you big time!" She said whilst gathering up her things and shoving them in her bag. She promptly left the building.

"So Random!'s" rehearsal that day had to be one of the worst they had since Sonny had joined the show, Sonny wasn't present to participate in the check it out girls sketch and Tawni was distracted the whole time thinking of Sonny. Marshall called them all in early,

"Alright kids, it's obvious we aren't going to get anywhere else today, why don't you go home early today?" Everyone left the studios feeling tired and worn out.

Yeah so once again sorry about the shortness, I guess this would be an introduction to the story. It's mainly Chad's story rather than Sonny's so this just let's you know what's happening with her. :)
