A/N: Hey all!! =D Mary here. Now this story is actually a book I'm writing, except I changed the characters attitudes a little, and of course, changed their names to, and now it's all Channy-ed up! LOL! =D So yeah if instead of Chad it says Andy, or instead of Sonny it says Jen, that's just a name I overlooked and didn't change. The original story came to me in a dream, and in the dream, I was Jen(aka Sonny). This story takes place where I live, but lets just pretend it's Wisconsin. K? goodie! =D

Summary: Chad is a country boy, Sonny is a country girl. They meet, Channy happens eventually, with lots of events along the way.

Disclaimer: I'm too tired to do a big 'ole disclaimer… I DON'T OWN THE CHARACTERS! I OWN THE IDEA FOR THE PLOT AND ALL THAT JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! =D =D =D

Introduction

Hi. My name is Chad Dylan Cooper, and I'm gonna tell you a story. I live in a small town called Anza in Wisconsin. Anza is an old western kind of town. It's really small and most people who live there live on 1or more acres. I live on 4½ acres. I live with my parents, my three horses; Dusty, Sandy, and Jake, two goats; Jaqui and Jazz, and five dogs; Banjo, Skipper, Magic, Tiger, and Blue-Boy. The dogs, all five of 'em, are a mix of Jack Russell and Doberman pinscher, so there all really smart.

My story starts out one bright and sunny day around the middle of August. It was pretty hot out and all of the redshank* were in bloom. I was on my way to town to pick up feed and hay with my dad…

*Redshank is a type of tree that only grows in Anza (the real one in Southern California =P), and Australia. Also known as Iron wood, or Ribbon wood.

Chapter 1

We were gonna stop by the hardware store for hay and dog food. After that we were headed to the market for some cookin' supplies for my mom.

My dad pulled up to the hardware store parking lot, handed me some money and told me to go in and get the stuff. I did just that.

"Hey Chad." The lady at the desk greeted me. I think her name was Janet, I never could remember though…

"Hey." I replied, my facial expression spelling boredom, "My dad wants two sacks of dog food and a bale of #-1 hay… again."

She smiled at me and repeated the order into a walkie-talkie.

"Ok. Here you go," she said giving me a receipt.

"Thanks." My dad grunted as I hopped back into the truck.

"Sure thing." I replied as we drove around back to pick up our order.

After we picked up the order, we headed over to the market. Within a minute, we were turning into the almost empty parking lot which the market, the bank, and the pharmacy shared. As we pulled into the lot, I noticed to my right, a battered old white Chevy pick-up pulling in next to us. It wasn't so much the truck that caught my eye; it was the girl sitting in the passenger seat that made me look and stare.

I couldn't pull my eyes away! She was beautiful. I mean not in the usual way like a model or something, she was unique. She had brown flowing hair that was just below her shoulders. She was wearing a tattered blue T-shirt. As she got out of the car I noticed she had on a pair of faded old jeans that were ripped in the knee. She also had her hair tied back in a sloppy ponytail.

Out of the driver's seat came a man.

"Hey dad? Can I borrow some quarters? I forgot to grab some before we left and all I got in my pocket is my chap stick." She stated.

"Sure Sonny." He replied. Sonny. So that was the angel's name. Fit her well.

"Thanks a million dad!" She said with a gorgeous smile.

"Chad." My dad said bringing me sharply back to reality.

"Yeah?' I responded.

"You need to get out of the car…" he said with a sarcastic look.

"Yeah…" I said. He laughed.

The second I stepped into the market, I was met with a rush of cool air, and the smell of various fruits and vegetables filled my nostrils. The smell wasn't that strong but it still bugged me. I looked around and spotted Sonny over by the candy shelf.

"Hey dad?" I asked, "Can I head over there and grab a few boxes of lemon heads?" I questioned gesturing to the candy shelf.

"Sure Andy. I'll just get the rest of the stuff." He replied.

I felt my pockets and discovered two quarters. 'Yes!' I thought 'Just enough for a couple boxes!'

I headed over to the shelf. I was about to grab two boxes when a hand gently collided with mine. I instantly pulled back, and looked up and saw Sonny right beside me.

"Oh I'm sorry." She apologized quickly.

"No it was my fault." I said. She giggled.

"I'm Sonny." She said holding out her hand.

"Chad." I replied taking her hand and shaking it. "Sonny. What is that short for?" I asked curiously.

"Alison. I don't like it to much though it's to… serious. Everybody calls me Sonny though, because I'm so Sonny!" She said with a quick laugh.

"Mines not short for anything but you probably already figured that out…" I trailed off uncomfortably. She just laughed. I smiled. I reached over and grabbed two boxes of lemon heads from the shelf. She giggled and grabbed three.

"Looks like somebody likes lemon heads more than me!" I said feigning shock. She laughed and replied, "You better believe it!" Now it was my turn to laugh.

We checked out our items and just stood around talking for a while.

"So how long have you lived in Anza?" I asked.

"Oh I live over in Aguanga, technically, but I've lived in the same house my whole life. You?"

"Same here, except for the Aguanga part. I live in Anza."

"Cool. So what are you doing in town? Besides lemon heads I mean." She chuckled.

"Oh I'm here cuz my dad needed to go to the market to get feed, and my mom needs some stuff from here."

"Well, I decided to stock up on Lemon heads before there out, I heard that the markets switching hands, and you know how that goes." She replied.

"Don't we all? So where do you go to school? Cottonwood? I haven't seen you at Hamilton." I asked her.

"No I've been homeschooled ever since I was in fourth grade. I went to Cottonwood while I was little though. You go to Hamilton I'm assuming?"

"Yeah. I'm going to high school there to."

"Oh really? Then I'll see you there because I'm starting as a freshman there in September!" she looked excited that she would know somebody the first day. I laughed.

"Cool, see you there!" she giggled.

"Sonny, we need to head over to the hardware store. Come on." Sonny's dad called.

"Coming dad! Bye Chad, see you on the first day of school!" She said smiling. What a huge smile she had. It was gorgeous.

"Bye Sonny." I responded just as my own dad came out of the market.

"Let's go Chad."

"Ok."

Boy oh boy, I couldn't wait for school, a new one for me.
