A/N: I felt really bad for not posting for so long, so I decided to write this, too. It's going to be a two- or three-shot, depending on whether or not I can make it last that long. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Still don't own SWAC.
Sonny POV
I'm sitting in the Commissary, having fro-yo with my cast.
"Hey, guys, check out my new..." Zora paused to pull some sort of gun out from under the table, "MARSHMALLOW SHOOTER!"
She laughed maniacally and cocked it.
"Woah, watch where you point that thing! If you hit me, you might ruin my pretty!" Tawni exclaimed vainly, blocking her face with her hands.
"Hey, G. You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Nico asked Grady.
"Oh, yeah." Grady answered, rubbing his hands together.
"MARSHMALLOW FIGHT!" They yelled at the same time, standing up and frantically reaching for Zora's gun.
"Woah, woah, woah." I said putting an arm out to stop them. "Calm down. We don't have marshmallow fights in the Commissary." I scolded them.
"Sorry." They said sadly, sitting back down.
Honestly, sometimes I feel like I'm babysitting!
Then we all heard Zora laughing evilly, and we looked up to find her pointing the gun at the Mackenzie Falls table.
Well, more specifically, at Chad, who was sitting at the Mackenzie Falls table.
"ZORA!" I yelled, "What did I just say?"
"Oh, relax, sister. This thing isn't even loaded." She said as she pulled the trigger to demonstrate.
Suddenly, we heard a THOK as a marshmallow flew across the room, hitting Chad squarely on the side of his head.
Okay, to be honest, that was hilarious. But I have to set a good example, so I can't laugh.
"Zora! What do you have to say for yourself?" I scolded.
"Umm... Whoops?" She said uncertainly, sliding the gun back under the table.
Meanwhile, Nico, Grady, and Tawni were laughing hysterically.
"Hey, guys? Do you remember what happened last time we did something to him?" I asked nervously.
"Uh, yeah..." Nico replied, a little scared now.
"Well, then I suggest we..." I began.
"RUN!" Grady exclaimed when he saw Chad start walking towards us.
We all hurriedly jumped up and began to run.
Suddenly, Tawni pushed me aside, yelling "Pretty before ugly!"
I ran straight into a table and fell to the ground, watching my cast run through the door into safety.
"Whatever happened to 'No man left behind?'" I yelled.
I sighed and sat on my knees, bracing myself for the wrath of Chad Dylan Cooper.
"You okay?" Chad asked me, putting a hand out to help me up.
Wow, didn't see that coming.
"Uh, yeah." I said taking his hand and standing up.
"I'm gonna regret asking this, but what on earth did your loser friend shoot at me?" He asked.
Well, I guess Sweet Chad couldn't last forever.
"Hey, she's not a loser!" I yelled. "Oh, and it was a marshmallow." I said with a satisfied smile.
Now I'm actually glad that Zora shot him.
"Wooow. Mature." He said, clearly annoyed.
"Well, she is eleven." I pointed out.
"Oh. Right." He said sheepishly.
"Well, I just have one thing to tell you, Monroe." He said, narrowing his eyes.
"Uh, that you forgive her and aren't going to get back at us?" I said in my high voice.
"Haha, no. I was going to remind you that Chad Dylan Cooper always gets revenge." He said menacingly.
"Except for on little eleven-year-old girls and really perky brunettes, right?" I laughed nervously.
"Watch your back." He said, then walked off.
Uh-oh...
Nico POV
"Hey, where's Sonny?" I asked as Grady, Tawni, Zora, and I reached the Prop House.
"I thought she was right behind us." Grady said, looking down the hallway.
Then we all gasped.
"If Sonny's not here..." I trailed off.
"Then that means she..." Grady continued.
"Got stuck with..." Tawni said.
"Chad Dylan Pooper!" Zora finished.
"We may never see her again!" Grady yelled.
"She was my best friend! I meant everything to her!" Tawni cried. (A/N: Haha, take a wild guess where that came from :P)
"Hey, guys." Sonny said as she walked in behind Tawni.
"Now I'm even imagining her voice!" Tawni exclaimed.
"Uh, Tawni?" Sonny asked, tapping her on the shoulder.
"What?" Tawni snapped, whipping around.
"Sonny, you're alive!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around her.
Wooow...
Sonny POV
"It's good to see you too." I giggled, patting Tawni on the back.
"Where have you been?" Grady demanded.
"Well, see, I kind of fell and Chad sort of caught up with me." I said nervously.
"HE WHAT?" Everyone exclaimed.
"What did he do to you?" Zora cried.
"He didn't do anything, but he told me to 'Watch my back.'" I shuddered.
"We're doomed." Zora said flatly.
"No, we're not 'doomed'..." I said, air-quoting "doomed."
"Then what are we?" Grady asked.
"You know what, I don't know." I said, then, changing the subject quickly, "But what I do know is, we have to fight fire with fire!"
"You mean..." Nico said.
"We need to..." Grady said, smiling.
"Prank Chad..." Tawni continued, catching on.
"Before he pranks us!" Zora concluded excitedly.
"Exactly!" I smiled with satisfaction.
"What's the plan?" Tawni asked mischieviously.
"Well, it can't be anything obvious. Chad can see a bad prank coming from a mile away." I said.
"Well, we could always duct tape him to a chair and put Bernie in his lap..." Zora said wickedly.
"NO!" Tawni, Nico, Grady, and I yelled in unison.
"You guys are no fun." Zora grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest and pouting.
"Let's just think." I said.
"Something good..." Nico stroked his chin in thought.
"Something hurtful..." Grady nodded.
"Something imaginative..." Tawni said.
"Something Chad Dylan Pooper will never see coming." Zora finished.
When did they start doing that?
"Ooh, what if we sprayed him with water, then threw glitter on him!" Tawni said excitedly.
Zora, Nico, Grady, and I just stared at her.
"What? That's how all bad guys are punished in Tawni Town." She defended herself.
"Okay, moving on..." I said.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, pick me, pick me!" Grady exclaimed, waving his hand in the air.
"Hmm, Grady?" I asked, pointing at him.
"We could take all of his left shoes! That way he has to wear two right shoes!" He said with satisfaction.
"Okay, anyone else?" I asked.
"What if we put Zora's chewed gum ball in his dressing room? He still has nightmares about that thing ever since the... incident." Nico said, chuckling at the memory.
We all laughed a little remembering finding Chad flat on the floor, mumbling something about, "Gumball... Huge... Evil... Splat..."
"We need something bigger than that. Zora?" I asked hopefully, turning to her.
"Cut the heads off all of his cardboard cutouts!" She exclaimed evilly, already holding a hand saw.
"Zora, what did I say about pointy objects?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"They're only for crafts, not revenge." She grumbled reluctantly, handing me the saw.
"Good." I said, taking the saw from her and placing it on a shelf out of her reach. "Now, lucky for you, I have an idea."
"What is it?" Tawni, Nico, Grady, and Zora all asked in unison.
"Okay, Zora, do you still have that fake-button gag?" I asked.
"Yeah..." She said, trying to figure out what I was thinking.
"Good. Here's the plan. I'll sneak into Chad's dressing room and rip the buttons off all his pants. Then I'll put the fake button on one pair, which he'll have to wear 'cause it's the only pair that'll stay up. Then we'll hide at the Mackenzie Falls set until Chad starts shooting. When the cameras are rolling and he's in the middle of a very dramatic scene, we'll initiate the button." I smiled mischieviously.
"Ooh, that's good..." Nico nodded approvingly.
"It's hurtful..." Grady rubbed his hands together maniacally.
"It's imaginative..." Tawni grinned.
"And Chad Dylan Pooper will never see it coming." Zora laughed evilly.
"Great! The plan starts when Chad starts rehearsal this afternoon." I said.
"By the way, what does the fake button do?" Grady asked.
"Oh, you'll see." Zora grinned wickedly.
"Zora, I need you to do recon and Chad Watch. Text me when you see him start rehearsal." I instructed her.
"Roger that!" She saluted, then disappeared into her sarcophagus.
"What do you want us to do?" Nico asked, gesturing to Grady and himself.
"I need you to get the fake button off that shelf." I said, pointing to the very top shelf on the wall.
"All the way up there?" Grady whined.
"Yes. When you get it and the remote, bring them to me. I'll be in my dressing room." I informed them, then turned to Tawni.
"Wait, I have to work?" She gasped.
"Yes. Your job is to stay out of the way." I said.
"Yay, I can do that! And I'm PRETTY!" She exclaimed happily, checking her reflection in the T.V. screen.
"Yes you are." I giggled, heading out the door.
Nico POV
"All right, man, you heard her." I told Grady.
"Yep. How're we gonna do it?" He asked, staring at the shelf.
"Uh, you stand here." I instructed him pointing to a spot on the floor just in front of the shelf.
"Okay." He said and moved. "Now what?"
"Now I move this chair." I moved a chair behind him and stood on it.
"Okay, and then what?"
"And then this." I said as I jumped on his shoulders.
"Woah!" Grady yelled as he struggled to keep his balance.
"Hold still, G!" I yelled. "I can almost reach it!"
I reached toward the top of the shelf and grabbed the button.
"Got it!" I exclaimed, then jumped down to the floor.
"Next time warn a guy!" Grady complained, rubbing his shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah, let's just go give this to Sonny." I said, turning to head out the door.
Then I remembered something.
"Uh, G?" I said uncertainly.
"Yeah?"
"I forgot the remote." I said sheepishly.
Grady sighed and walked back to the shelf.
"Just do it." He groaned.
Zora POV
I crawled down the vent toward Chad's dressing room to see if he was there.
"Ah, here we are." I said to myself as I spotted his room.
I peeked through the grate to find him leaning back on his couch, looking over a script.
"Mr. Cooper." There came a knock at the door.
"Come in." Chad called, not moving.
"Mr. Cooper, you're needed on set." His assistant said, holding the door open only enough to see in.
"Be right there." Chad said, not even bothering to look at him.
"Yes, sir." His assistant nodded, shutting the door again.
Chad put his script on the couch as he walked over to the mirror.
"You are the greatest actor of our generation. You are perfect. You are Mackenzie." Chad said to his relfection.
I stifled a giggle.
He messed with his hair a little, then, apparantly satisfied, he winked at the mirror before walking out the door.
When he was gone I let out the laugh I'd been holding in.
That guy needs help.
I pulled out my cell phone and texted Sonny to let her know that Chad was at rehearsal, then crawled down the vent to watch Chad on the Mack Falls set.
Tawni POV
"I am so PRETTY!" I exclaimed to myself, staring at my reflection in my cell phone screen.
"I need fro-yo." I said, then skipped down the hallway to the Commissary.
Sonny POV
MOO! MOO!
My cell phone rang.
It was a text from Zora saying Chad went to rehearsal.
Great! Operation Fake-Button is now underway. I replied.
I slid my phone back in my pocket and ran down the hallway to Chad's dressing room.
When I arrived I opened the door a crack to make sure it was empty.
When I was sure that it was, I quickly went in and shut the door behind me.
I walked over to his closet and proceeded to rip the buttons off every pair of pants.
Fifteen pairs of pants later, I arrived at the last button.
As I started to rip it off, I got another text from Zora.
Chad's coming back to get his script! Hide!
I quickly ran to the back of his closet and shut the door.
A few seconds later, the door opened and I heard footsteps.
I peeked between the door and the door frame and saw Chad picking his script up off the couch.
I moved to get a better angle and ended up accidentally bumping into the wall.
"Hello?" Chad called, walking toward the closet I was hiding in.
I held my breath as he got closer.
After listening for a little while, he shrugged and walked out the door, script in hand.
That was close.
"Good job!" I heard Zora yell from the vent.
"Thanks!" I replied, then returned to removing the last button.
I replaced this one with the fake button that Nico and Grady gave me.
Once I finished, I stepped back to admire my work, and smiled with satisfaction.
I can't wait to see the look on Chad's face!
A/N: So what did you all think? There will be Channy later, but I had to set up the story first. I promise there will be Channy in the next installment. Review please :D
