The So Random! cast walked into the famous prop house after yet another one of their shows. Though Sunday nights (A/N I just made up a day for the show) were usually happy ones, no one was smiling.

"I completely messed up that fruit salad sketch!" Sonny yelled, flopping herself down on the couch in despair. "I mean, how was I supposed to know it was a real blender?!"

Nico and Grady settled by her. "At least your pants didn't fall down in front of the whole country." Grady said, resting his chin in his hands. "Yeah, I won't be able to get that mental image out of my head for at least a month!" Zora said, poking her head out of her sarcophagus. She quickly closed it when she was finished.

"Dude, why'd you have to wear the Share Bears?" Nico asked, turning to his friend.

"They make me smile," Grady answered, shrugging as if it were obvious.

"Oh, they make you smile?" Nico accused. Normally, Nico would've accepted this as a valid answer, but lately he'd been in a bad mood. The shows ratings had been plummeting for weeks and his forgotten punch line that night didn't help.

"Yes, is there something wrong with that?" Grady said tersely, standing up.

"Yes. There is." Nico replied through clenched teeth, standing up to face Grady. Before long, they were in a full blown argument. Sonny groaned and rubbed her temple, propping herself up by her elbow and leaning against the arm rest.

"Guys, guys, calm down," Tawni said, as usual entering the prop house last. "I know that wasn't our best show, but at least there's one bright side."

"Oh yeah?" Nico asked.

"What?" Grady continued.

Tawni suddenly held up a hand-held mirror. "I look GEORGOUS," she answered. She blew a kiss in the mirror and sat in a chair, striking poses and fluffing her hair.

Nico and Grady groaned and slowly sat back down on the couch next to Sonny.

"Ok guys, listen up," Marshall called as he entered the prop house. Immediately, all the cast members turned and faced him, preparing to hear yet again about their awful ratings. "I've got big news," Marshall continued, sounding enthusiastic. "Now, as you all know, our ratings have been a little lower than usual…"

The cast members moaned in agreement.

"…But the producers and I have come up with a way to fix it. We're having a special guest star come back next week, for one show only…."

Sonny was immediately more alert. The last person to guest star on So Random! was Chad Dylan Cooper, her worst enemy.

"…and they're going to be in a sketch with each and every one of you…"

Again Sonny tensed. The last time Chad Dylan Cooper guest starred on So Random!, he played the "Hot EMT" Sonny's character had a crush on, and she almost had to kiss him.

"so…play nice." He glanced at Tawni, who gave him a quick I-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about stare and shrugged.

As Marshall finished his speech, his cell phone began ringing. Glancing down at the phone, he read the caller I.D. "Oh, I've got to take this," he said, turning around. "Hello?…Yes, this is Marshall….Uh huh…Yep, it's all set…"

The cast began quietly talking to each other, trying to figure out who was the mysterious guest star.

"You think it's Chad?" Tawni whispered in Sonny's ear, startling her.

"I dunno, I hope not," she replied

"Yeah, sure you don't."

"Uh huh, I've got the dressing rooms all figured out…Yes, trail mix not mixed nuts…Uh huh…"

"You know, the audience loved him after that HottiEMT sketch," Tawni chimed back in.

Sonny laughed thinking back to the end of the sketch. Though she was supposed to kiss Chad, not that she wanted to, a pig just happened to land in her lap. "Yeah, well, how often does Chad Dylan Cooper get to kiss one of his own kind?" she whispered back.

"…Wait, here?…Now?…Well alright, say we're in the prop house." He hung up the phone. "Are you guys ready to meet your guest star…again?"
