A/N: Hey everyone! This is the second Sonny With a Chance story I've tried, and this is the first chapter story. The other one was a one-shot. So let's see if this works out, shall we?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything that looks familiar. Titles that aren't from the show are titles that I MADE UP. I didn't take them from anywhere. Thanks. =D

Can't Get Enough of That Drama

Chapter One – Vacation Plans

Sonny's POV

"Sonny," my mom called. "Time to get up."

I blinked my eyes open and sat up, yawning. My mother disappeared down the hall, and I climbed out of bed, stumbling over to the door, which I shut. I flicked my light on and went over to my window. The sun was barely rising, but I always had to get up early. One of the few downsides of being an actress. Not that I minded. I loved going to work everyday and seeing all my friends. Even Tawni was tolerable, on most days.

The only thing I dreaded about going to work was Chad Dylan Cooper. He was so full of himself. It was annoying to have to be around him every day. Although there were a few times when Chad could be nice, it wasn't very often. I could count those times on one hand and still have room left for more. Not that I expected any more good deeds from Chip Dramapants, as Nico and Grady liked to call him.

I dressed quickly in a pair of old, worn jeans and a light blue t-shirt. Tawni would make fun of me for sure, but I'd quickly become immune to her comments. I was pretty sure she didn't mean it; she just needed to make herself feel better. When I was finished getting ready, I went down the hall to the kitchen and took a bite of the toast that was waiting for me on the counter. When I'd finished eating, my mom came in, keys in her hands. "Ready to go?" she asked. I nodded, taking a quick swig of water. She led the way out of our apartment and downstairs to the car.

We were halfway to the studio when I groaned. My mother looked at me, concerned, and asked, "Did you forget something?"

"Yes," I said. She practically slammed on the breaks and I added, "I forgot that I have class today."

"Oh." The car began to pick up speed again. When we arrived at the studio, I pulled my badge necklace over my head and jumped out of the car. "Bye, Mom!"

She waved goodbye and I hurried inside. As I was going down the hall, I crashed into someone going around the corner. "I am so sorry-" I started. I looked up to see Chad glaring at me.

"Could you watch where you're going, Sonny?" he asked. "You messed up my hair."

"Sorry," I said sarcastically. I reached up and ruffled his straw-colored blond hair. "There. All better." I flashed a smile.

"Sonny!" Chad complained, pulling a brush out of his pocket. "You made it worse."

I rolled my eyes. "Well it's been great talking to you, but I'm late."

"Late for what?" Chad asked.

"Rehearsal."

"You actual have to rehearse for those stupid skits you call 'funny'?"

"Leave me alone, Chad." I pushed passed him and walked down the hall to the Prop Room. The whole was there already, even Marshall.

"Morning, Sonny," Marshall said, twitchy as ever. "We have a lot of planning to do today."

"Planning?" I asked, sitting down on the couch beside Nico and Zora. Tawni stood behind us, obviously unwilling to wrinkle her skirt. Grady was getting a soda from the mini-fridge.

"Didn't Tawni tell you?" Marshall asked nervously, eying the blond behind me.

"Tell me what?"

"We're taking a vacation!" Zora exclaimed.

"A vacation?" I asked. "To where? For how long?"

"We're going to Florida," Marshall informed me. "For two weeks."

"That's amazing!"

"I've already cleared it with your mother," he continued, "And we leave in two days."

"What about the show?" I asked.

"We'll pick it up when we get back."

"Great!" I turned around to look at Tawni. "Thanks for telling me."

"Oops," she said, looking innocent. "Did I forget to tell you?"

"Yeah. You did."

"Come on now, don't fight," Marshall said. "Now it's time to go to class."

Zora jumped up. "Let's go," she said, eager about everything. Nico and I stood up as well, and Tawni and Grady followed us out of the room. Outside, Chad was leaning against the wall. "Did I hear someone say vacation?" he asked.

"Yes," I said, smiling. "So Random! is going on vacation."

Chad laughed, "That is so funny. Mackenzie Falls is going on vacation, too."

"Great," I said, walking away. He followed me. "Maybe we can get even farther away from you that usual."

Chad laughed again. "Sonny, Sonny, Sonny," he sighed. "You know that deep down, you just can't get enough of me."

It was my turn to laugh. "Yeah, right," I said.

"You know they say acceptance is the first step to recovery."

"I don't need to accept, and I don't need to recover, because I'm not in denial."

"Say whatever you want, Sonny. We both know the truth."

I snorted and turned into the studio classroom, leaving Chad standing in the hallway.

Chad's POV

"Chad!" Portlyn snapped. "Pay attention!"

"What?" I asked, gripping the new week's Mackenzie Falls script.

"You've been zoned out all day," Portlyn complained. "This scene is really important to me."

"Scene?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Show," Portlyn corrected herself, flushing. I knew why. Portlyn had a crush on me, and she had ever since she'd been introduced to the show. It didn't help that our characters had a relationship.

I sighed. "All right. Let's run the scene."

"Finally," Portlyn grumbled, still pink in the face. I could never tell if she knew that I didn't feel the same way she did. It seemed as if she had deluded herself into thinking that we had something going on. Because we didn't.

"Oh, Mackenzie," Portlyn breathed, her brown eyes wide as she began to tear up. I had to admit, she was a really good actress. "I'm afraid." She reached for my hand.

"Don't worry, Caitlin," I said. "It will all be alright."

"Promise?"

"Of course." I wanted to skip over this next part, but as the direction always said: Practice makes perfect. But Portlyn leaned towards me, all ready to kiss. Before she could reach me, there was a knock on the door. Saved, I thought. I stood up and hurried to open the door.

"Mail," Josh said, handing me a stack of letters and one to Portlyn. I dropped mine on the table. I would read them later, like always. Portlyn ripped open the first one, reading eagerly. Just like Portlyn. She lost confidence easily, which was why I didn't tell her straight out that I didn't return her feelings.

I sat down in one of the many chairs around the room and watched Portlyn. She was pretty, I admitted. Her heart-shaped face and flawless skin, framed by curly, reddish-brown hair. There was nothing wrong with her. And she was so completely in love with me. So why couldn't I love her back?

Maybe I could, in time, I mused. But now... I just felt my heart tugging me in a different, unknown direction. There was someone that I did have feelings for. I just didn't know who she was yet.

After twenty minutes of watching Portlyn, I looked at my watch. "Let's go to lunch," I suggested.

"'Kay," Portlyn agreed, tearing her eyes away from a fan letter. She dropped it on the table. When we entered the hallway, we met up with Daniel, Emily, and Melany. We walked to the cafeteria together, and while they all to their seats at the Mackenzie Falls table, I approached the counter where Sonny and Tawni were ordering their food. I pushed in front of Tawni. "We'll have the lasagna, Bella."

"Uh, Chad?" Sonny said. "There is no lasagna."

"Maybe not for you," I replied, smirking, while Bella filled a tray with plates of steaming lasagna. I thanked her and returned to the Mackenzie Falls table. I was aware of Sonny and Tawni watching me jealously.

"That looks great," Emily said when I put the tray down. I passed it around and everyone took a plate. I sat down next to Portlyn in my usual spot, and looked across the cafeteria to see Sonny at a table with her cast, picking at a salad. She must have felt my gaze, because she turned around to glare at me. I smiled and waved. She turned away, but not before I could see her roll her eyes.

"What is your infatuation with that girl?" Daniel asked me in a disgusted voice.

"What girl?" I asked, turning away from Sonny.

"That Sonny girl," Emily supplied. "From So Random!"

"Sonny?" I laughed. "There is nothing going on between me and Sonny. I just like to annoy her."

"Why?" Portlyn challenged. Jealousy flashed in her brown eyes.

"Because it's what we do. They're So Random! and we're Mackenzie Falls. It's called a competition," I explained as if they were little children.

"I don't see you irritating anyone but her," Portlyn said.

I bit my tongue, knowing that if I let the words slip out of my mouth, Portlyn would be hurt for weeks. I couldn't afford that, especially since we were going on vacation. I glanced at Sonny again. She obviously didn't know that So Random! and Mackenzie Falls were going on vacation together. Vacation with the Randoms... This could be interesting.

Sonny's POV

"Are you ready?" My mother asked. "Do you have everything?

"Yes, Mom." This was the third time she'd asked me. I slid my arms through the straps of my backpack and then picked up my suitcase. "Can we leave now? I'm going to be late for the flight."

"Right, sorry." She grabbed my other suitcase and her keys, and we hurried downstairs to the car. Once I was seated inside, I felt a little better. I looked at my watch. If my mother drove fast enough, we would make it to the airport in time. It was just like her; worrying over nothing and making me late. It happened all the time.

When we arrived at the airport, I rushed inside, my mother following at a slower pace. "Hurry!" I called over my shoulder. We had to wait in line for what felt like ages, but finally we were at the gate where my cast members were waiting for me. And, much to my dismay, the cast of Mackenzie Falls. Suddenly, this vacation looked a whole lot bleaker. I hugged my mother goodbye, telling her that I was too old to have her waiting with me. Besides, Marshall and everyone else was there. She nodded and left.

"Sonny!" Marshall cried. "You're here. Good."

"What are they doing here?" I asked, pointing to the Mackenzie Falls cast.

"Well, Sonny," Marshall began, twisting his hands nervously, "This is a studio vacation. Which means we're vacationing with people from the studio..."

"But why them?" I asked. "Couldn't we have gone with the kids from Lovely Letters or something?"

"Sorry, Sonny. This is who the studio picked for us to go on vacation with."

There was a beep, and the loud speaker came on. "Flight 548, now boarding."

"That's us. Let's go," I heard Chad say.

"Alright, come on kids," Marshall told us, herding us towards the plane entrance.

We moved as a group, and caught up with Mackenzie Falls. The woman at the door stopped us and asked for our tickets. We handed them to her and she began flipping through them. "Oh, dear," she said. "It seems there's been a problem."

"What? Problem? What problem?" Marshall asked nervously.

"It seems we've been overbooked," the attendent said, flashing us an apologetic smile. "Two of you will have to stay here and wait for the next flight to Florida."

We all looked around at one another, to see who would be left behind for a few hours. "I'll stay," Zora said, shrugging.

"No, no, you're too young," Marshall said. He looked around, obviously trying to decide who would stay behind until the next flight.

"I'll stay," I volunteered. It wouldn't kill me. I could wait. Besides, maybe Nico or Grady would keep me company. I was expecting Tawni to stay with me by choice.

"Great," the attendent smiled. She looked around. "And... How about you?"

"What? Me?" Chad spluttered.

"Him?"

"Perfect!" Marshall exclaimed. "All right, everyone else onto the plane."

"Wait!" I protested. "You can't leave me here with him."

"Sorry, Sonny," Marshall called over his shoulder. "See you in a few hours!"

My shoulders slumped and I turned my head to look at Chad. He looked about as happy as I was. "Great," he sneered. "Stuck with you."

"Like I'm any happier," I retorted. We grabbed our luggage and walked slowly over to the benches. We stared silently out the window, watching as the plane took off, taking our friends with it.
