My first multi-chapter fanfiction, enjoy!
Chapter 1: Victory
Sonny's POV
After changing in my dressing room, I met Tawni, Grady, Nico, and Zora in the cafeteria for lunch. Before I stepped into line, my phone started mooing.
"Hello?" I answered cheerily.
"Sonny, what's the matter with you?" A familiar voice said.
"W-What? What are you talking about, Lucy?"
"I cannot believe you told her! I thought I could trust my 'best friend'…"
"But I never told her! Lucy, wait a sec-" But she had already hung up the phone.
Earlier that day
IM chat with WisconsinGurl151
Sonshine49: Hey, Lucy!
WisconsinGurl151: Omg! I haven't talked to you in 4EVER, Sonny!
Sonshine49: I know! It's been too long.
WisconsinGurl151: So how are you? How's the show going?
Sonshine49: I'm doing great. We just came up with a REALLY funny sketch for the show, it's gonna be gr8!
WisconsinGurl151: Ooo tell me about it!
Sonshine49: Lucy, you know I can't. You'll have to wait until Tuesday!
WisconsinGurl151: Aww c'mon…
Sonshine49: It's only 2 days, Lucy.
WisconsinGurl151: Ok, well I have a secret to tell you.
Sonshine49: Ooo I'm all ears!
WisconsinGurl151: Promise you won't tell?
Sonshine49: You know I won't
WisconsinGurl151: Promise me.
Sonshine49: Alright, I PROMISE, now spill!
WisconsinGurl151: Okaaay…

What happened? I didn't break my promise! Why won't Lucy believe me? I thought. I sighed as I sat down at the table next to Nico.
"Is something wrong, Sonny?" Nico asked me.
"No, it's nothing." I told him.
"Aren't you going to eat something? You were talking about how hungry you were after rehearsal." Grady asked.
"I'm not very hungry anymore." I replied. "Actually, I'm not feeling too well, is it okay for me to leave?" I asked.
"Sure, Sonny, hope you feel better." Zora said. With that, I got up from the table and left the cafeteria. I darted through the halls until I reached the exit. I saw my Grandma's car parked in front by the curb where I left it, and climbed into the drivers seat.

Chad's POV
"Great rehearsal, everyone!" I shouted over my shoulder. On my way out, I checked myself in the mirror, fixed my already perfect hair, and straightened the collar of my shirt. My hand was inches away from the handle when I heard someone call my name. I turned to find Penelope behind me, still in her Mackenzie Falls uniform.
"Oh, hey, Penelope…" I said reluctantly. As if I wasn't having a bad enough day already…
"What's your rush, Chad?"
"I just want to get home, ok?"
"But-" She began, but I was already out the door. That was kind of harsh, maybe an apology would be a good idea. Wait, what? Apologize? Stupid conscience…
I shook my head to clear my thoughts, and left the Mackenzie Falls studio in silence. I walked through the halls until they led me to the exit. When I reached the parking lot, I noticed that my car was stuck between a street light and a blue Mercedes. Great, just another hassle, I thought sourly. I stepped towards the blue car, and saw someone inside. When I looked through the tinted window, I realized there was a familiar brunette behind the wheel. I opened the unlocked door with ease, and popped my head in.
"Hey, Sonny." I said with a famous smile.
"Chad." She said glumly. I stared at her in silence for a few moments until her eyes met mine. She looked upset. "Do you need something?" I desperately wanted to climb inside of the car and ask what was troubling her, but instead I blurted,
"Yea, actually you're blocking my car." What was I thinking?
"Really, Chad, really?" She asked, obviously upset by my answer, "For a second I thought…never mind." She said with a sigh.
"Thought what, Sonny?"
"Well, I actually thought you cared for like a millisecond. But I was wrong, you're just the same arrogant Chad." Ouch. Did she really think I was arrogant? Wait, why should I care?
"I-I'm sorry," I began. Whoa, did Chad Dylan Cooper just apologize? Was it backwards day? It must've been… "Listen, can we just, um, start over?" I asked.
"Uh, ok, sure…" She said with a confused expression. I stepped into the car and closed the door.
"What's the matter, Sonny?" I asked, looking into her eyes. She gazed back for a few moments before snapping back into reality.
"Well, my best friend, Lucy, told me a secret about someone. That someone found out, even though I never told her. But of course, Lucy thought I did, and now it's just a big mess." She sighed, her eyes dropping to the floor, "But whatever, I'm sure you don't care." She finished. Now was my chance.
"Sonny," I said softly, leaning over to lift up her face, "I've always cared about you." She smiled at me.
"Thanks, Chad. That actually means a lot."
"Well I'm happy I could help." I smiled back, and turned to get out of the car. Forgetting something, Chad? I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breath. "I was, uh, thinking…" I began,
"Yes?" She asked. My gaze dropped to the floor.
"Sonny, would you like to go out…on a, um, date…with me?" I looked up with a nervous expression. She barely suppressed her gasp, and I smirked.
"Uh…y-yea," She said. Then she shook her head, trying to clear it, "I mean, yes, Chad, I'd love to." She beamed. I sighed with relief and climbed out of the car. "Wait, where are you going?" She asked with a confused face.
"You still have to move your car, Sonny." I said, and winked at her.
"Oh, um, right. Yea, I'll move it." I closed the car door and walked over to my car, a victorious smile on my face.
