Her now steady boyfriend had his arms around her waist. He leaned over and whispered something into her ear. She laughed and tip-toed up to kiss his cheek. It was obvious to anyone who had so much as have an eye that they were in love. They were the perfect couple.

She was an A-list star, wanted for all movies, sitcoms, talk shows, hosting reality TV, and whatnot. She was beautiful, successful, intelligent, and was naturally charismatic. Yet she was still down to earth, nice, friendly, and still retained that sunny attitude from 4 years ago, when she had first made her debut in showbiz.

He was also an A-list star. Handsome, tall, athletic... He had beautiful eyes, and perfect hair that was never really styled. He was nice, generous, giving...

Suddenly, she tripped, but her boyfriend caught her, and she giggled like a teenager with a celebrity crush. The pair was so obviously in love.

Also there, was another famous celebrity.

He frowned slightly, watching her glide beautifully down the blue(yes, that's right, it's blue) carpet. Cameras were pointed at her, reporters shouted questions urgently at her, and she remained unfazed, keeping a content and confident. face on.

He felt a twinge in his chest when he realized that it could have been him walking down the blue carpet with her. He could have been the one that caught her, and made her blush and giggle like that. He could have been the one that she loved, the one that she ran to with all her problems, the one that would hold her in his arms... And they, together, would've been absolutely flawless.

He ran his hand through the hair that he's always worked so hard to keep beautiful. The hair that he would give up in a heartbeat just to have her back.

He was so wound up in his thoughts that he hadn't realized that he had caught up with that "perfect" couple. However, a run in, or perhaps a 'crash in' was enough to jolt him out of his reverie.

She turned around, and was somewhat pleased to see a familiar face. A face that she hadn't seen in nearly 2 years, since the series finale of both Mackenzie Falls and So Random.

"Chad!" she grinned.

"Sonny," he muttered curtly, then nodded towards her boyfriend.

She hugged him enthusiasticly.

"I haven't seen you in forever!" she said excitedly, "How's it goin'?"

"Life's been pretty good. I got the part in that movie..."

"Oh, well, I did too!" Sonny exclaimed, not to be showed up by Chad.

"My movie is so going to beat yours in the box office," Chad smirked, kind of like how he used to.

"Oh. Well, I better get going... It was nice seeing you again." Sonny said distractedly.

As Chad watched them saunter off hand in hand, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. The old Sonny would have said, "Reeeaally, Chad? Reeaaallly?" Those were the same words she used when he told her that he could, and would, never love her. That time when he made the biggest mistake of his life by turning her down when she asked him out. And for what? For Mackenzie Falls. For a stupid show, his stupid show. The stupid show that was so more important to him at the time than a girl.

"Well," he thought, "times change, people change along with it. She's moved on, and perhaps... It's time that I do too."
