"Hey, Sonny," Chad said calmly, welcoming himself right into Sonny's dressing room, "I'd like to speak with you about making some alterations in the script." He was trying to sound formal to seem like a more qualified director.
Sonny quickly got past his rude intrusion, "Me too! I can't believe these lines! Like, what is this??" She read straight off a page, "Oh, Chad, you are a god, the apple of my eye, the reason for me living, the cause of global warming…?? When have I ever said this to you?"
"…You will, someday." She only glared so he went on, "Anyway, moving on to what I have to say because it's always more important…flip to page 13, if you will."
She quickly turned and skimmed through it, pretending she hadn't read that scene over a hundred times already, "Oh…we kiss," Sonny faked as much surprise as she could.
"Yeah, I had that written in there when I thought you wasn't gonna be played by, well, you. And I know that kissing me would be the last thing you would ever want to do so I figure it's probably just best to scratch it out…"
"Oh! Oh, yeah, of course!" She hastily grabbed a pencil and prepared to scribble it out: ~Chad kisses Sonny~… ~Chad kisses Sonny~… ~Chad kisses Sonny~… ~Chad kisses Sonny~…
She read it over and over. It sounded more beautiful each time. The part she'd been looking to most. Could've been the best moment of her entire life. Was she really going to let a pencil come between that??
"It just takes 1 pencil stroke…" Chad reminded her.
Sonny couldn't bring herself to do it. She threw the script down, "You know what? This movie is already so complete a-and that's just such a major plot point. We can't keep that from our viewers. It would ruin the entire picture!"
He tried to hide his smirk, "No, really, I think we could make the movie work without it. Don't even worry ab---"
"No, you don't worry!!" She cut him off, "I am a professional actor, okay? A-and when there's a challenge, we don't back down! We understand that it's all just pretend and we just take it a-and we run with it! And, to tell you the truth, I'm a little disappointed in how immature you're being right now!"
Her anger surprised him. Chad backed up a bit and almost left but couldn't help but add, "Okay, okay! If you really wanna kiss me that much…"
"What?!?" She yelled defensively, as she always was whenever the idea was mentioned that she might have feelings for him, "I listed so many other important and relevant reasons and none of them had anything to do with you! And if you're gonna go there, I'm just gonna go ahead and solve our little problem. That kiss is history! And you wanna know why, Chad?? Huh, huh?? Because I'm going to cross it out with…sharpie marker!! That's right, it's permanent." She lifted off the cap and began to lower it towards the paper when…
"Sonny?"
"What??" She swerved around just as he planted his soft, perfect lips right upon hers.
He held her neck with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist. She immediately brought her arms around his neck, kissing him back passionately. They gave their tongues 6 seconds to let out everything they'd been keeping in for so long…
Finally, they pulled their faces apart and just stared at each other, dumbfounded.
Chad just grinned and turned to leave, "Keep that script the way it is."
