"Chad, you know that it was coming sooner or later... I think we need a break or we should end it." Sonny says as tears begin to stream down her eyes.
"I know that we've had our rough patches, but why end it? We could work it ou-.."
Sonny cut him off.
"Don't say it. We've tried for so long. It's been 2 years. We're 19 years old now, Chad, we're not getting any younger. If we were meant to be, life might be easier."
"What? You want to throw away the last two years? Like nothing ever happened?"
"Of course not. It was a good two years, and I'm not going to deny that. You could test the waters. I hear that your co-worker Lux has a thing for you. She's nice and pretty."
"Hmmm. Why? You're setting me up? I need to think this through. Let the awkwardness between us begin...Bye, Sonny." Chad turns and heads back to his set with his hand hanging at his sides.
Sonny turns in the opposite direction dragging her feet back to the prop room.
So Random hit the top and is one of the top shows of the nation, along with Mackenzie Falls.
"Aww, Sonny, you ended it? I'm sorry. You know things sometimes have to end. Like So Random, but so yet."
"Yeah, Tawni, but I wish life just told mr what to do. I love Chad, but I know that I wanted to keep both myself and him happy."
"I totally understand. It's hard to please. Like whenever I run out of Coco Moco Coco, I get really angry and hard to please." Sonny laughed.
"Thanks Tawni, I needed a small laugh. It will just take a while to get over. I want Chad to be happy. I know Lux would make him happy. She's a good girl."
"Dont rush him, Sonny. I'm pretty sure it will take some time for him as well."
"Yeah, but we're not getting anywhere in life. I might find someone, and he'll find someone and I know it."
- One week later.
Sonny and Tawni walk into the commissionary to grab some lunch. Nico and the rest of the Randoms sat at their separate tables. They wave at the two to join them. Chad and the Falls were sitting at their table carrying on their own conversations. Sonny looked over at Chad and gave an innocent smile, almost as a gesture of acknowldgement. Portlyn would occiasionally look over at Tawni because they seem to have gained a great friendship while Sonny and Chad dated. Both casts looked depressed, but growing to get happier. The Break-up took a toll on everyone.
The Annual Condor Studio Dance was coming up. Tawni and Portlyn were in charge of the whole shabang. They wanted EVERYONE to go. It would be good to have a date, but they didn't want to push everyone especially after the break up.
Chad thought that since Sonny wanted to see him happy, that he'll take the one girl that SHE wanted him to be with, Lux. Why not? She'd nice. She also seems creepy and somewhat obessesed with me? Why not go with a girl that likes me?
One day after rehearsals, Chad sees Lux walking down the hallway. "Hey Lux, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, Chad!"
"Um, So the dance... Do you want to go with me?"
"OF COURSE I WILL! I'm so glad you asked me. We would be such a super cute couple... Blah blah blah"
Chad stopped listening after a while. Maybe it's just an aftershock. It feels weird just getting back into the dating pool. And it feels great.
"Yeah, so pick you up at 6:30?, great good, bye!"
CDC is back!
Sonny sat at her vanity mirror just writing some songs in her song book. Feeling mellow. She doesn't wants to go to the dance... But she doesn't know how to break the news to her best friend, the party planner. Well, it's not that she doesn't want to per-say. She can't. For once in a couple of days she's felt a lot happier? Why? She got a call from Julliard to study at the college for dancing and singing. Yes, dance. Before So Random, Sonny use to be a small-town ballerina. She was good, but never really showed it until later. Anyways, they want her to audition the same night as the audition for the coming fall semester. She might have to leave So Random, but it won't be long. It's Julliard! Everyone will understand.
Tawni walked into the room carrying a bunch of papers.
"Hey, Sonny, look at all the flyers I've made!"
"Hey Tawni, yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you. Well, I have a problem. I don't think I can go to the dance..."
"WHAT, are you joking? This better not be because Chad is going with Lux, because you told him to go with that girl."
"He's going with Lux?"
My thoughts were kind of mixed about that, but I was still happy.
"Nevermind. I'm glad. No, I kinda have an audition the day/night of the dance."
"An audition? What, how come I never knew about this audition? What movie?and how come I was not asked to audition? I'm pretty?"
"No, Tawni, I got asked to audition for a spot in Julliard's Dance Program."
"No WAY? My best friend will be going to one of the fine arts school in the world? Holy mole!"
"Not yet, Tawni. I will also study music composition, that's if I get in."
"Well, I'm so proud of you, Sonny Monroe. When you get in, we will celebrate."
"Thanks, but don't jync it!"
- The night of the dance
Tawni and Portlyn watched from the side of the room as everyone danced in the middle of the floor. Everyone looked stunning and they were happy with how the dance turned out. The two girls turned to the enterance as they saw Chad enter the room. Hoping that he would have asked Sonny, but knowing the slim chances, they were happy to see that Lux was attached to his arm. She wore a stunning wed dress that was the envy of every girl. Chad saw them and walked over to the two.
"Hey, you two. The dance is amazing, loving the spotlight on me when I came in. That's how it's done. Because it is me." Chad said while smirking,
"Aw, look it's the old CDC back to his selfish, big head of his. I was starting to miss it. Looks like your back to your old self." Tawni said as she gave Chad's shoulder a playful punch.
"Yeah, I think that I needed to move on because Sonny wanted me too. I needed to be happy and she wanted me to be happy."
"That's good. She's definitely happier." Portlyn said.
"That's good because I want her to be as well. Speaking of Sonny, Where is she?" Chad scanned the room looking for the perky brunette.
"She's not coming." Tawni said with a small frown.
"What? Why isn't she coming? It better not be because I'm here." Chad paniced.
"Nope. She auditioning for something. I can't tell you, or else I'll jync it. But I'm pretty sure she'll make it and she'll be the happiest person on this planet."
"Aww, that's good. Well, I'm going to go back to Lux. See you guys later!" Chad headed over to Lux, who was talking to Chasity.
"Hey, Lux, do you want to dance?"
"Sure."
Chad and Lux hit it off on the dance floor. Lux being a dancer, showed off some her skills. Chad was impressed. They both felt some of the sparks of a new love. They danced together for about an hour when they slowly walked away from the crowd.
"Hey do want to go somewhere and talk?" Chad whispered to Lux as they creept of the dance floor.
"Yes, I'd love too."
Chad took her out to the car. He was definitely feeling some connection between him and Lux. It was something that he hasn't felt in a while. He missed the feeling of being with someone that he likes. It was weird because he had that with Sonny. He finally understands what Sonny was saying about them not working out. He geniually still loves Sonny. There is not doubt about that. But he needs to move on. Maybe is Lux doesn't work out, then he could give Sonny another chance.
Chad parked and walked around to help Lux out of the car.
"Chad, where are we? A parking lot?"
"Not just a parking lot, but the rooftop. I come here to sit some times." Chad said while admiring the skyline.
"This is amazing. I absolutely love the night-time skyline. The lights and just listening to the different sounds. You know if you just sit and listen you could hear almost everything. To me, it's one of the most relaxing to do when stress succumbs my mind."
Chad stared at the blond-green eyed girl sitting next to him. What she just said is exactly how he would describe why he picked the spot. It's a sign.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Lux says with a concerned look on her face.
"Nothing." With that, Chad gave her a small peck on the lips and continued to stare up into the sky. Both of them turning a deep red.
Sonny returns back to the prop house and sees Tawni and Portlyn.
"Hey Guys, so how was the dance?"
"It was amazing. How was your audition?"
"It was fantastic; best experience of my life. Guess what?" Sonny said with excitement.
"What? You got in!" Tawni squealed.
"I won't know till later, but they said because I have on-screen experience, and I have one of the best dance ability, I might be able to teach a class as well!"
"That is freaking amazing, Sonny!" Portlyn screamed.
"Well, I'm going to head home. I just wanted to see how everything turned out."
