This is just something that has been stuck in my head. I'm not really sure on what you'll think about it so review and let me know.
Summary: This is my take on Sonny With A Chance. Sonny moves out to Hollywood not only to be on So Random! but also to do other things. Most of the things that happen in the episodes happen in this story but in a different way. I do not own SWAC. Rated T for language and references.

"Sonny! You need more sunscreen!" Mom chided, rushing after me.
I shook my head, dodging her hand. "No! Mom, I'm fine!" I laughed.
She had some leftover sunscreen in her hand. We just entered the set of So Random! "Well, what am I supposed to do with this?" She held her hand up.
"Connie, Connie, Connie." I chuckled. I wiped my hand against hers and picked up some of the sunscreen. I wiped it on her face and smiled at her. "There. That's what you can do with it."
She laughed, grinning back. She tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. "I'm going to miss you."
I hugged her. "Ditto, Mom. I've got to get ready. Bye,"
"Bye, sweetie. Call me when you can." I nodded as she started walking away.
"Ah! You must be Sonny!" I heard a male voice call behind me.
I turned around. A balding man stood before me now. "Yes, and you are…?"
"Marshall. We talked on the phone."
"Oh! Right! Hi, Marshall. Thanks for letting me on the show." I shook his hand, giving it a squeeze.
"Ooh! Firm grip. Here, come with me." He led me to the prop room of the set where the cast normally hung out (there was a behind the scenes episode and I got to see what it looked like). "This is-"
"The prop room. I can tell." I chuckled. "Thanks, Marshall." I smiled, grateful.
"Of course! Ah, here's some of the cast!" Marshall cleared his throat as two boys- one African American, one Caucasian- walked in, talking to one another. They stopped once they saw Marshall and me. "Sonny, this is Nico and Grady. Boys, this is Sonny; the new addition."
They looked at one another and smiled a smile that I got used to back home in Wisconsin. They tried to push each other out of the way, dashing to me. I jumped up and spun in the air, landing gracefully behind them. I leaned forward between them, resting my arms across their shoulders.
"Boys, boys, boys, relax. You'll get your turn to meet me. I'll be here all day- and for other days." I chuckled and they laughed with me. I removed my arms, holding my hand out to Grady first. "I'm Sonny, nice to meet you." I shook his hand then Nico's.
"Sonny- nice name. Can't wait to have you join us in sketches." Nico commented.
"Hey, where's Tawni?" Grady asked, looking around.
"Probably in front of a mirror." Marshall joked.
Just then, a blonde walked in. It was Tawni. She held a handheld mirror in her hand, applying lip gloss with the other.
"Well, you weren't far off." I told him, raising an eyebrow. I strolled past the two boys and walked over to Tawni. "Hi, Tawni, I'm Sonny." I held my hand out.
She glanced at it then went back to glossing her already shiny lips. I withdrew my hand.
"Alright then. Let me guess, Zora is hiding?" I smirked at the sarcophagus. It opened to reveal a twelve year old girl with three pigtails and her arms were crossed. "Hi, Zora."
"How'd you know she was in there? She hides everywhere." Grady questioned, shocked.
I chuckled. "I used to hide when I was younger, just like her. I would've hid in the same spot if someone new came to my TV show."
"Well, you seem different than I thought." Zora observed. "I would've thought you'd be ecstatic to be in Hollywood."
I chuckled nervously. "Well, I've been around celebrities before- I'm used to it."
"Okay, so, Sonny, you'll be sharing a dressing room with Tawni." Marshall informed, stepping out of the room.
"What?!" Tawni shrieked.
"Don't worry," I picked up my bags. "I'll stay out of your way." I started walking toward the dressing rooms and found the one she had. It was large with plush couches and two vanities, one for her, already filled with make-up and an empty one for me. Two curtained areas for changing were located on opposite ends of the room. Tawni entered after me, looking sullen. "I'm guessing the far end is my side."
"Yeah," she grumbled.
I went to the far side and set my bags and guitar case down carefully by the curtain- dressing room. "I get it…You don't like me." I crossed my arms lightly over my chest.
"No, why would you say that? Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some training to do." She held onto some perkiness and made it 'extra-perky' or 'creepy-perky.' She stood by the exercise bike and started kicking and punching upward in my direction, very close to my head and gut.
"Seems to me like you want to hurt me." I pointed out with a tight grin.
"Really? Doesn't seem like that to me!" She kicked and punched harder.
I caught her foot mid-kick quickly. "Look, Tawni, I know you like being the only older girl on this show. I know you like keeping things to yourself such as this dressing room. But I'll tell you right now, I won't bother you. I keep to myself and you like to talk about yourself. I'll pretend to listen to your petty problems and you don't mess with me. Understood?" I smirked at her, keeping an innocent expression.
"I can't believe you caught my foot!" She was shocked. "That was a fast kick-"
"Snap kick. There's different variety." I slowly set her foot back on the floor so she wouldn't fall over. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to B2 V Salon." I turned and started to walk out.
"Wait!" I turned to see Tawni scuttling over to me. "There's no way you'll be able to get in there! It takes forever to get an appointment." Looks to me that she's never been there.
"Well, my mom and I made an appointment a long time ago. She was going to go with me but…she left early so I'll be all alone with an empty chair next to me." I acted sad and I could see her hopefulness popping through her 'I-Hate-This-Girl' exterior. "Would you…like to join me?"
She nodded with a huge smile on her face. She squealed picking up her phone and purse.
"After that, I was going to go shopping but I think you have rehearsal." I told her.
"We can go shopping tomorrow!" She smiled a huge smile. "You know…I think we're going to be great friends!" She linked her arm through mine as my eyes widened in surprise. She pulled me out of the room, almost running.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After shopping, Tawni and I headed back to the studio. She went and got dressed into a Queen Bee costume and grabbed her script on her way to the set. Zora wore a bee costume as well, holding a trumpet. Nico and Grady walked through the doorway wearing identical bee costumes. I found a director's chair with my name on it and sat down, looking at the script with Marshall.
"Good knights." Tawni greeted, sitting down.
"Good night? But it's only two in the afternoon." Nico stated, reading his script, looking confused.
"No, not 'good night,' 'good knights.'" Grady pointed to him and Nico, explaining what she meant.
Tawni stared for a second, then: "Silence!"
"Which is exactly what we'll hear from the audience if this continues." Marshall stopped them, walking over. I flipped through the script; it wasn't that funny.
"You're right; I don't know what they're doing wrong." Tawni seemed innocent and slightly conceited. I sighed quietly, annoyed.
I walked over. "Tawni, don't take this the wrong way, okay? …But where do you see the funny?" I asked, pacing a bit. She wrote the sketch.
"The Good Knight part and-" Tawni started to explain.
"Okay." I interrupted. "To be honest, it wasn't really like all the other things you guys performed. You guys have a reputation. If you do this sketch…It'll bring it down."
Tawni scoffed. "Please! Like you could think of anything better!" She crossed her arms.
"Well, what if you had the bees be very ditzy and busy. They could be clumsy and constantly be distracted. By the simplest thing- a flower- they'd go kooky and act silly. Then an old lady would come onto the scene and, being bees, they'd see her big butt and want to sting it." I explained, thinking off the top of my head.
"That seems stupid." Tawni contradicted.
"No, it seems funny." Marshall told her, smiling. "We could get working on that sketch if you wrote it, Sonny."
I looked over at Tawni, she looked upset that I was stealing her spotlight. I felt bad; I did the opposite of what I promised her. I tried to smile but it didn't bode well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tawni, I'm sorry!" I apologized for the um-teenth time. "I didn't mean to steal your sketch…!"
"Whatever. I mean, it's not like it was 'funny' or anything." she narrowed her eyes at me through the mirror. "And you broke your promise! You said you wouldn't bother me!"
"I'm sorry…again. Look, I'll find a way to put you in the sketch-"
"No way, if you want to remodel it, I'm not going to be in it. Just wrap up your writing and turn it in to Marshall." She waved her hand dismissively, applying some new make-up and brushing her hair.
My head snapped up. "That's it!" I picked up my writing pad and started writing down the sketch topic.
--------------------sketch--------------------------------
I came out in a bumblebee costume with Nico, Grady, and Zora behind me in suits as well.
"Sis boom buzzsis boom buzz

(YA)OK
(WHAT?)" That was our sketch. I rapped about being the new bee (actress) in the hive (show) and how Tawni didn't want me here, acting like a queen.
Marshall let me close the show and we all went to the prop room after getting out of our costumes. I squealed quietly.
"Since it was your first show, this is the only time I'll say it; good job." Tawni waltzed out of the room. Nico and Grady stayed behind while Zora disappeared and Marshall took a call.
"Put the hat anywhere you like in here. You're part of the show now." Nico smiled at me. I smiled back, happy. Grady pulled him out of the room so they could go eat.
I placed my hat on top of the alien head and smiled to myself. "Well, Sonny, you're finally here. So Random!" I murmured to myself- I couldn't stop grinning. I spun on my heel and ran to my new dressing room to unpack.

Okay, let me know what you think. This is my first SWAC fanfic so I'm not too sure if it turned out well. I just recently started to like the show. And FYI, if anyone wants me to continue, I might not be able to update for a long time. I have school, original stories, friends, family, and other stories to attend to…so, it'll take some time.
