Disclaimer: I do not own Sonny with a Chance.


I've been walking, walking behind enemy lines

I've been fighting, fighting from the other side

I've been saying, saying I won't fall this time

But now I'm walking, walking within enemy lines

– 'Behind Enemy Lines'


BEHIND ENEMY LINES

#01 – Ring

He could give her diamond rings, silky dresses and the world, but all those meant nothing to the simple Wisconsin girl – and for the first time, Chad Dylan Cooper found himself wondering if he ever actually had anything meaningful to offer someone.

#02 – Hero

She closed her eyes and waited for the huge disappointment among the audience once the spotlight shined on the empty spot next to her, but to Sonny's surprise, that space was filled when someone emerged from the curtains: her hero, wearing a fake beard.

#03 – Memory

Sonny remembered his blonde hair and blue eyes from watching his show back in Wisconsin, but despite her cast members' warnings and her realization of his true character, she could never erase Chad's face from her memories after meeting him no matter how much the she tried.

#04 – Box

"If I hear you mentioning that Munroe girl one more time," Portlyn interrupted Chad's latest complaint about how Sonny was always smiling so much, "someone's going to be sent home in a box."

#05 – Run

They ran from paparazzi, but magazines still would not stop asking why Sonny and Chad were always together – and to be honest, they didn't know why either.

#06 – Hurricane

Sonny felt a hurricane of emotions every time she dealt with him; one moment, the girl would be infuriated, yelling and throwing a fit over some vindictive act he just did, and the next moment, the two would be smiling at each other – sometimes forgetting why.

#07 – Wings

He had to bring her down and clip her wings for his own selfish reasons; if Sonny ever realized how amazing she really was, she might just fly away and leave her show – and him – for good.

#08 – Cold

At first, she viewed him as cold, uncaring, and selfish; that night Chad stepped from behind the curtains and claimed himself as Eric, the warmth could have been from the spotlights or something else.

#09 – Red

Chad turned red once Sonny discovered he didn't know how to tie a tie, and the girl soon found her face the same shade after noticing their close proximity once she fastened the knot on his dress shirt.

#10 – Drink

The whole evening she faked smiles and kept hands folded on her lap, tolerating his rotten attitude behind gritted teeth; when she finally snapped and poured her drink all over his head, Chad knew that was the real Sonny Munroe he was always so fond of.

#11 – Midnight

When Tawni couldn't sleep at midnight, she swore she heard Sonny sleeptalk and mumbling the name 'Chad Dylan Cooper'; sometimes, though, the girl would just say 'jerkface'.

#12 – Temptation

He had to resist the temptation to change the channel every time the remote was in his hands – oh, but So Random! was having a marathon on the 'Check It Out Girls' again…

#13 – View

Chad hated seeing posters of the So Random! cast around his studio, but when that new girl started showing up in the pictures, the view didn't seem so bad.

#14 – Music

He was the king, sitting proudly on his throne, and was especially good at musical chairs; but when Sonny pulled him down and took his place, smiling and proclaiming "I win!", the music seemed to continue playing in Chad's mind even though it was supposed to have stopped.

#15 – Silk

Whether she wore her silk dress or bunny pajamas, behind all that Hollywood glamour and makeup Chad could still see the same girl since the beginning they met.

#16 – Cover

She only fell on top of him; she didn't expect the accident to appear on the covers of all the celebrity gossip magazines.

#17 – Promise

"Is this another weird thing you people in Wisconsin do?" Chad asked, but obligingly wrapped his pinky around Sonny's anyway.

#18 – Dream

Sonny's dreams of becoming famous and making new friends came true, but she never expected battling it out with the star of MacKenzie Falls to also become part of her everyday life.

#19 – Candle

The candles and moonlit view were all cheesy, but Sonny stopped rolling her eyes once she realized none of these were fake props from the MacKenzie Falls set.

#20 – Talent

Chad always had a natural-born talent for acting, and when he had to pretend to be in love with Sonny Munroe to swindle her, his cast members all agreed the star's talent shone best there.

#21 – Silence

Chad became completely disoriented whenever sleepy, so when his cast members dared to ask him questions to figure out the star's dirty little secrets, they turned silent when Chad Dylan Cooper revealed he preferred brunettes.

#22 – Journey

The journey to Hollywood and fame had been smooth for both of them, but all it took was a certain boy to steal a certain girl's yogurt to add bumps down that road.

#23 – Fire

There was always fire blazing in her eyes whenever Sonny faced him, but Chad knew it was only anger and nothing deeper than that.

#24 – Strength

He wondered where she found the strength to face Hollywood and its deceiving illusions of glamour and yet still walk out being exactly herself.

#25 – Mask

No matter how she felt, Sonny always had the biggest, brightest smile in the room, but only Chad could see through that mask.
