Hey! Welcome to my SWAC fic. By now, I have no idea how many I've written. This one's different though. It's a drama story. Kind of something you'd see in Mackenzie Falls. Hope you like it! It was hard to write :S

Disclaimer: I don't SWAC or the characters, but I'm introducing a couple new characters. Hope you like it! =)

Expectations

Chad Dylan Cooper sat at the Mackenzie Falls table by himself, looking rather depressed. His trademark smirk vanished from his flawless face, and his arrogant attitude hidden beneath. Sonny Munroe wondered why she cared so much about why he was feeling like that or even the tiny details she noticed. I guess when you spend a lot of time hating someone and arguing with that person you begin to notice how cute they look, or how sparkly their eyes are and how well built they are.

Ugh! Cut it out Sonny. You're talking about Chad. Sonny shook her head vigorously trying to shake her head from those ghastly thoughts. She walked over to him.

"What happened Chad, cat got your tongue?" She asked teasingly.

Sonny waited for a retort, but nothing came.

Damn it Chad, you look like your aunt's died or something." At realizing what she said, she gasped. "I'm sorry I didn't mean it! It's just that it's been more than 5 seconds and you haven't said CDC as yet or anything mean or even did your trademark smirk."

Still no response. Sonny was getting a bit nervous. She then spotted the note that Chad was holding.

She pulled it away from his grasp slowly and read what it said.

Dear Chad,

As per Cooper tradition, your 18th Birthday is nearing and that means it's time for you to take on the family business. It's time you stop playing around with acting and also get serious with a girl. You're not a little boy anymore. We have many expectations for you as you already knew. Since you were born, you were destined to run the family business and you can't do it alone. You need a wife and loving family behind you to support you. I know you probably think, you're still young, but your mother and I got married when we were 20 and we're still happily together.

Your Father.

P.S. We would like you to visit us the coming Thanksgiving Weekend. Hopefully by then you have a girlfriend. Bring her too. I've attached two tickets.

Sonny put the letter down…wow, talk about a huge weight on his shoulder. Nobody deserved this…Sonny dint like Chad's father. Something about him seemed very intimidating.

She looked up to see Chad looking at her…not looking, gazing. He smiled and an idea came to his head.

Sonny finally caught on to this. She shook her head.

"No way Chad, not now, not in tomorrow, not even in a million years." Sonny said stubbornly.

"Please! Help me. If I bring them to you, they might not let me take on the family business. I hate it. Acting's always been my dream, but my father doesn't approve of it."

Sonny flinched. Father…those words sounded so cold and unloved. He looked really helpless and was begging her. Well am not doing anything in Thanksgiving anyway. She sighed. "Fine, but only cause you're a wreck."

Chad smirked.

"Ugh! I can't believe we have to fake date again."

Chad raised an eyebrow. "Who's faking?" He grabbed Sonny's hand and dragged her to his room.

Oh lord…let the 'fun' begin, Sonny though. So much time with Chad, was anything but that. Although others might disagree.

This was hard to choose, there was another I really liked. But i felt this dealt a little more with the story.

R&R! =)
