Summary: Sonny Monroe, star of So Random! Is in a movie. With the Jonas Brothers. It's a remake, of 'the Princess Diaries', except, it's called 'the Princes Diaries' hence the name of the story. Joe Jonas, recently broke up with his girlfriend. And nearly straight away after meeting her, he takes a shine to Sonny, and will do anything to be with her in reality and not just in the movie. One person realises what he's up to. One person wants Sonny more than Joe. One person with better hair. One person more famous. One person more brilliant. Do I really have to say that his name is Chad Dylan Cooper? Because if those previous hints didn't give it to you, then just stop reading this!!

A Normal Conversation About M&M's
"I got it! I got it! I got it!" Sonny Monroe squealed after opening her mail. It had looked like a phone bill and not fan mail which was why Tawni had given it to her in the first place. But it wasn't a bill. It was a letter, telling Sonny she had gotten the female lead role in what will be the years biggest Romantic Comedy.
"What did you get?" Tawni asked in a bored tone, as she preened over herself in front of her mirror.
"I GOT THE PART!" Sonny screeched.
"What part?"
"The part in the movie I auditioned for three weeks ago"
"A movie?"
"A movie! With the…" Sonny scanned over the rest of the letter and screamed again.
"With the what?" Tawni demanded, spinning around to face her, her eyes wide. She hated other people getting attention.
"I… filming… a romantic comedy… starting next week, in New York… with the JONAS BROTHERS!" Sonny yelled, her voice reaching fever pitch with excitement. Right then, Tawni fainted.

Later, while Sonny was practising for a sketch on Stage 3, Tawni had decided to make someone feel worse than she did about Sonny's news. She chose Chad Dylan Cooper for two reasons, okay, three reasons.
First: He was more fame hungry than her, he would freak out more than Tawni herself had. Second: Tawni had sneaking suspicions he like liked Sonny, and her being in a romantic comedy with arguably the most famous people on earth would really get to him. And Third: It meant going to Stage 2, which meant she could try and grab a few of the free hair products at the Mackenzie Falls set, they never notice a few bottles going amiss here or there.
Tawni found him easily, he was on set, eating lobster, with a bib. It was eerie how the last time she'd talked to him about Sonny, he'd also been eating posh food in a bib. Creepy posh food, she thought angrily.
"Chad, I-"
"Why are you in here Tony? You're on the banned wall!" Chad sputtered, swinging his chair around to glare.
"Its Taw-ni, and I'm here because apparently if someone around here mentions having big news about Sonny Monroe for Chad Dylan Cooper, you get a free pass onto Stage 2"
"No you don't" Chad said, turning away.
"Anyway I'm just here to give you the bombshell of news"
"Like I'd want to hear your bombshell… please leave… security!"
Tawni could hear the guards coming, so she said it straight away, "Movie. New York. Two months. Jonas Brothers. Sonny"
She saw it register on his face just as the guard pulled her away, "Wait, stop" Chad said to his head of security, and he walked over to Tawni, "Sonny. Jonas Brothers. Movie. Two months. New York?"
Smirking she said, "Oh yeah"
"You can't lie Blondie" He sputtered.
"Face it Chad, she's under your skin"
"Is not"
"She is too, but, she won't be for the two months she'll be filming her romantic comedy with the JoBros in New York"
Chad seemed speechless. Finally, Tawni had beaten him. Or so she thought.
"Security, you can take her away now!"
"What? Why Chad?"
"Why not, I don't want you stealing my free shampoo"
Tawni was outraged, "You can't-"
"But I can. Oh, and Head Security man?" Chad asked.
"What?" A big, surly, middle aged man asked.
"Make SURE she's on the banned wall!"
Security man grunted and dragged a screaming Tawni out of Stage 2. And yet somehow, she still managed to steal some shampoo.

Sonny was on cloud nine. She would be working with the Jonas Brothers. She skipped to her dressing room, and on her way, somehow skipped right into Chad.
"Sorry… Chad? What are you doing at So Random!?"
"Uh.. Walking.. Away.. From Portlyn"
"Oookay… I can see why, she's a bit…" Sonny trailed off not knowing what to say about his co-star.
Chad sniggered, "Yeah, she's a bit, alright"
Sonny smiled at him. Looking at him here, in this light, he looked amazing. But it was Chad, pssh, the flourescent light must be playing tricks again.
"Any good news?" He asked.
Sonny raised an eyebrow after his showing an interest in her, "Not really"
"Really Sonny? Really?" Chad asked, leaning in closer. Sonny gulped.
"Well, no" She admitted, "I have amazing news!" She said cheerily.
"Oh yeah, what?"
"Well a few weeks back, my friend Lucy made me go to an audition for a movie. I felt like a fool so I just blanked it from my memory straight after. But I got a letter this morning, saying I got the part!" She seemed to glow with happiness. Chad had an internal battle, that lasted for all of two seconds; to support her, or not to support her?
"That's great Sonny" He said, honestly. For once swallowing his pride.
"I know! It's with the Jonas Brothers… I wonder which one will play the prince?" She pondered, obviously asking Chad his opinion but his mind froze.
"Wait… so for this movie, you'll spend two months with the JoBros in New York, making a fairytale romance?"
"Yeah" Sonny said, as if it were obvious.
"And you'll play the princess?" He asked, sounding slightly worried.
"How do you know so much about the film?" Sonny asked, leaning in suspiciously.
Chad was silent for two seconds, "Tony was going on and on about it, After hearing it for the hundredth time, it doesn't leave ones memory"
Sonny patted his arm empathetically "Sorry you had to go through that Chad" She started walking away.
"When do you leave?" He called.
"Saturday" Sonny said, turning back around.
Chad hadn't realised he had so little time left with her, he better make it count. So he took a deep breath then said, "It's all your fault!"
"What's all my fault?" Sonny asked, astounded at his change in attitude.
"You're the reason I'm in a bad mood now. Well done Wisconsin. If you hadn't gotten the stupid role Blondie wouldn't have been so annoying which led to my mood"
"Well fine, I just won't achieve anything anymore" Sonny said furiously.
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"So are we fine?"
"Yeah, we are Chad"
"Good"
"Good"
"Good"
"Good" They both walked away from each other, then Sonny's phone rang,
"Good"
"Good"
"Good"
"Are we good then?" She asked finally, smiling slightly.
"Oh we are so good" Chad answered. The call ended and before Sonny entered the prop room, she could've sworn that after her latest encounter with Chad Dylan Cooper, her heart had fluttered- actually fluttered. She laughed then, somehow putting the blame on the lights again.
"Something wrong?" Grady asked once she was inside.
"Yeah, these lights… they're way too fluorescent"

Late that night, Sonny sat in her dressing room. Her mother was getting back from Wisconsin tomorrow so no one was home. But today was a Wednesday, which meant Sonny's-Slob-Night. It was a routine. After all the cast left, Sonny would spend the night alone in her dressing room, eating chocolate, drinking hot chocolate and she would try and watch three or four movies a night.
She was in her favourite pyjamas, which basically consisted of a pair of her older brothers plaid pajama pants, and what had been her dad's favourite t-shirt, an ancient Dark Side of the Moon shirt. Suddenly a knock on her dressing room door nearly shocked Sonny out of her skin. She walked quickly over to the door, and before opening it, she picked up a baseball bat and swung open the door.
"Aha!" She cried swinging the bat at the intruder.
An "Ooopmh" later and Sonny finally noticed the 'intruder' was no one other than Chad.
"Chad? Why are you here? It's past midnight"
He appeared to have been winded so couldn't speak. Sonny led him to the sofa, closed the door and winced at his pain. After a minute, he said angrily,
"Your apology is accepted"
"Oh, Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Sonnys eyes were lit up with concern for him, she even stroked his hair before yanking her hand away, which made Chad feel much better.
"What's with the bat, Monroe?"
"I thought you were… a bad guy… What's with the intrusion?"
"What intrusion? I knocked!"
Sonny bit her lip, and grinned sheepishly, "Sorry, it's usually just me here, no one's ever interrupted me before"
"Interrupted what?"
"I'll tell you when you explain why you're here in the first place!"
"Fine. I was going to draw a moustache on Tony's mirror to freak her out as revenge for stealing shampoo from the Falls, but then I saw a light on and I knocked to see who was here this late" He even waved a black marker in her face to prove his point.
"Oh… that makes sense"
"It does. What doesn't make sense is a sixteen year old spending the night in her dressing room"
"Who says I'm staying the night?"
Chad quirked an eyebrow, "Nice pajamas" His sarcasm was evident.
Sonny playfully hit his arm, "Well, it's a routine I have"
"What? Spend every Wednesday night in your dressing room alone?"
"Yeah"
"Why?"
"Don't make fun of me, but… I have a list of one hundred movies I want to see, and every Wednesday I make a little progress on the list" She winced, as if waiting for the onslaught of expected mockery.
"Sonny… that sounds great" Chad said honestly. If he was honest with himself, Sonny's expectation of him to make fun of her constantly, sort of got to him, it upset him… a bit. Which was really stupid, just like her looking stupidly cute in her pyjamas.
"Really, Chad?"
"Really. Can I join the routine tonight?"
Sonny smiled at him, "Sure"
He made himself comfortable on the sofa, and grabbed a handful of blue sweets that were in a bowl on the table, "Sonny?" he said after eating a few.
"Chad?"
"Why do you have only blue M&M's?"
Sonny blushed, "It's the only colour I like"
"Why?"
"It just is, no reason"
Chad chuckled and ate a few more, "So, what film are we watching?"
"The one, the only… Giant! James Deans greatest and sadly last achievement" Sonny cheered.
"Really?"
"Yeah, why? Are you against James Dean?" Sonny demanded, narrowing her eyes.
"No, it's just, usually girls I know, don't know of James Dean, and if they do, they only speak of Rebel Without a Cause and have never even seen it"
"Well, Chad, I think I differ from the girls you know, as one; I've most definitely heard of James Dean, he's one of my favourite actors. Two; I have already seen Rebel, and three; I like only blue M&M's" Chad laughed and Sonny joined in. After they caught their breath, Sonny said, "Ready?"
"One more question" Chad said, somewhat apologetically.
"What now Cooper?"
"What number is this movie on Sonny Monroes Must-See-Movie-List?"
"This, is number twenty five"
"You ranked Giant as number twenty five on a Must-See-Movie-List?" He asked in astonishment, he was so stunned an M&M even missed his mouth.
"It's not done in order of preference, it's just done in the order of how I remembered them while writing the list"
"Oh, sorry for the freak out then, Monroe"
"Don't worry about it, if it was done in order of preference you had my permission to freak out" Sonny said, happy for once to finally see more than five minutes of the 'nice' side of Chad. And to have a normal conversation with him... even if she had winded him, not apologised, fed him blue M&M's, confessed her Wednesday night secret and felt her heart flutter a few too many times in his prescence. She pressed play and took her own handful of blue M&M's before becoming engrossed in George Stevens directorial masterpiece.
Authors Note: So yes, i'm big into Channy these days! Sterling Knight is just so darn cute! This is my first SWAC fic, and just so you know, no Chad doesn't stop the plane from leaving after realising his undying love for Sonny! She goes to NY. She meets the Jonas Brothers. And a love triangle of sorts begins! All kind of kicks off in the next two chapters, which are already written. If i even get one review I'll upload 'Take Two'! So... its half four in the morning here... Good night...
