I began to write this in July 2011 after I saw Cars 2 and was totally inspired by parts of the plot, but it took me a while to come up with my own little twist since I'm not fond of people like Sonny being secret spies (no offense). I spent a little over a year writing it and then my laptop completely died… it has officially resurrected as of nowJ
Anyways, Cars is like my all time favorite movie BESIDES the Avengers and the Iron Man trilogy; so if you haven't seen it yet or thought it looked stupid, I totally recommend it!
Sonny POV
Why hello there…and welcome to my narrations. After years on So Random!, Mr. Condor decided we were all too old, fired us and replaced us with younger actors. Harsh, right? We then decided to officially grow up and all got into more mature careers. And all kept in touch in the process!
Zora was still pretty young when we got fired, so she decided to start in the modeling business. She says that one day she wants to design and act some more. She currently also has a boyfriend, but she's still a teen, living it up.
Grady is forever and always a comedian, and a pretty good one at that! He's been touring the US telling stupid jokes that send you roaring with laughter. He and Mel are still going pretty strong…for Grady and Mel…
Nico and Tawni got married the day after I did. Nico is a rapper, talk show host, actor, and a comedian also. You'd have to wonder how he handles it all, but I think it's all the energy he has. Must be in the hats.
Tawni and I are still the best of friends, she's an actress, country singer (didn't see that one coming, did you?), and also a comedian. She and I do some part-time modeling. She was my bridesmaid of honor and I was hers. We hang out almost every day; she's like the sister I've always wanted.
Chad and I recently got married. He's still an actor and he sings now (not in any way to embarrass anyone anymore). I'll even let you in on a secret: I've even convinced him to start doing some comedic movies and such. He still has a large closet full of ego, but he's learned to control it more.
I've become a lot busier lately. After So Random, I really embraced my inner singer and started in with music, I've continued acting and comedy, I part time model with Tawni, and on top of that, I spent months planning the most perfect wedding and making sure all of my friends and family all the way in Wisconsin could attend.
Me and Chad's honeymoon was so relaxing. We went to Australia and did almost nothing the entire time. If our phones started ringing lots, then we would go somewhere and do something where we had no signal. Basically, we avoided work in general for a week and a half.
We just got back to LA and Tawni and Nico were mere hours behind us. Grady was in town for the week and Zora flew out from New York so we could all have dinner together at The Patio for the first time in months.
Now you're all caught up, so can I get back to dinner?
I started laughing as Grady told me a story about this crazy encounter with a So Random! fan.
"Do you ever have a normal day?" I asked him.
"That would be a nice, solid no," He answered enthusiastically which made me laugh more.
"How's Mel?" I questioned about his girlfriend of a while.
"She's good. I really feel like she's the one you know?" He stared off into the distance, probably still thinking about his girl. Grady and I had always been good at telling each other things like this, that's why we always had his 'special talk time'.
"If you feel so strongly about it, why don't you act on that instinct?"
"I don't know…I'm just afraid…" He whimpered.
"Of rejection?" I finished and he nodded, "No worries, she loves you! I remember that normally overly confident Cooper over there was just as nervous and scared of rejection as you are, and look at how it worked out! She'll say yes, I promise!" He lightened up after I gave him a little pep talk. We returned to the rest of the table's conversation. Tawni and Zora were going on about the fashion world and Nico and Chad didn't seem interested, but were still tuning it in.
"What was that about?" Chad whispered to me about Grady.
"He's worried about proposing to Mel," I whispered back.
"A neon colored and action figure themed wedding…should be fascinating," I laughed. It was in a sense kind of mean, but it's very true and will probably end up happening. I wonder what I should wear…
Tawni POV
"I'm gonna go get some more coffee. Anybody want anything?" I asked our group and they all shook their heads. I shrugged and walked over to the trailer styled kitchen/cashier.
"I'll have the usual," I told Sarah, one of the employees. I'm a regular customer…
As they were making my latte, I noticed that the TV was flipped to some celebrity news channel.
"We're gathering some of the best musicians in the world to perform in different concerts all over the earth to see who has the most loyal fans. We have many contestants from almost every corner of the earth. They'll be performing in concerts in many different locations across the globe. 2 of the contestants are on video chat right now; please welcome Estelle from France and Andreas Alvarez from Spain."
"What is this about?" I asked Sarah when she handed me my beloved latte.
"Oh, it's some competition to see who has the biggest fans and who can sell out big venues. Basically pitting pop stars against each other for profit. I've heard that Estelle and Andreas Alvarez are decent, but have large egos," Sarah informed me. She's the barista I go to for celeb news, since I never have the time to watch or read it myself, "All of the big countries have a few artists in the competition."
"Who's in for us?" I asked her.
"I heard that we have Allstar Weekend and the Jonas Brothers confirmed, they're just waiting on a few more," She filled me in. (AN: I think if this was a legit competition, they'd send out Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Miley…hmmm…idk who else because I only listen to British music. But hopefully Demi)
"Now I've heard that it's possible that famed Sonny and Chad Dylan Cooper may be competing against you guys. If they were to join the contest, do you think they might be a threat?"
"Isn't a threat when your competition is intimidating you and you're afraid of losing to them?" Estelle asked with a sly grin. The interviewer nodded, "Then no. I don't see them as a threat because I'm more talented AND I have more fans," she smirked.
"Oh no she didn't," I said.
"So, to clarify, you believe that if you were to compete against Sonny Cooper, formerly Munroe, that you would beat her?" The interviewer was now digging for drama.
"Crush her. Pulverize her. Annihilate her. Whatever you prefer. It's just too bad she's too chicken to come participate against me. Then we'd know that I am right for sure," She smirked.
"Well we're taking calls right now, so call in and talk to the stars!" The interviewer said excitedly. A phone number popped up on the screen.
"She's gonna get it!" I said dialing the number.
"Hello caller, you're talking to Estelle and Andreas Alvarez," The interviewer filled them in.
"Hi! My name is Ellen and I just wanted to tell you guys how big of a fan I am!" the caller said.
"Um, thanks," Estelle awkwardly answered.
"Kay bye," Andreas responded.
"Hello next caller, you're on with worldwide superstars Estelle and Andreas Alvarez."
"I really don't like the way you were talking about Sonny, Estelle. You need to stop being so self absorbed and be nice to her." I snapped.
"And you think you are?" Estelle said.
"Tawni Hart," I said confidently and she squinted in confusion, "American celebrity…actress, country singer, model… Got my big break on So Random!...Nothing?" I complained.
"Never heard of you…" Andreas said.
"And why do you think I should stop purposely trashing a dreadfully untalented and childish excuse for a singer?"
"Hey! Sonny's my best friend and you have no right to talk about her that way on worldwide television or at all in general! And nobody uses the word dreadfully anymore!" I yelled into the phone.
We were fighting for a while, and the restaurant started getting interested in the fight and they crowded around me and the TV.
Sonny POV
"What's taking Tawni so long?" I turned around towards the trailer area and saw masses of people, "Never mind that, what's going on over there?"
It didn't look like anyone was purchasing anything, because they were surrounding the TV and occasionally letting out an 'ooooooh!'.
"We should go check it out," Zora said slyly and we all stood up to walk towards the mob.
Once we got over to the crowd, I looked to see what was on the TV that everyone was so engrossed in. I saw it was one of those annoying celebrity news shows, today featuring the two people that run the hate club for Chad and I: Andreas Alvarez and Estelle. Who knows what they have against us, but Estelle has been promoting more hate mail for me lately.
For some reason, Tawni was yelling into her phone, and then it almost seemed like Estelle and Andreas were answering…Oh no…
"What is she doing?" I asked Chad as we made our way through the mass towards my blonde friend.
"No clue, I can't hear," He grabbed my hand and we pushed through the rest of the crowd to the front where Tawni was.
"Just give it up, Tammy-" Estelle started.
"Tawni!" She interrupted.
"Whatever. Just give it up, Sonny is just talentless and lame and ugly. She has no fans and no life, and we've already established this how many times now?"
I gaped at the TV, "Well that was uncalled for," I said after a minute.
"She really crossed the line this time…may I?" Chad asked for Tawni's phone, which she gladly handed over. Now she's really going to regret this, "Um, hi, this is Chad Dylan Cooper and I don't really appreciate the way you're talking about m'lady, so if you could just shut up once and for all, millions of people would really value it," He said immediately.
"Oooooh. Chad Dylan Cooper really scares me…" Estelle said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.
"The other half of the most amateur couple in the world, ladies and gentlemen," Andreas clapped 3 times.
"Our millions of fans universally would beg to differ," I said to the phone.
"You realize that you only do world tours to make you seem more popular?" Estelle said.
I laughed and Chad snapped back, "I can recall one time in France, the only place you have toured because no other country wants you to come and destroy their ear drums, that you and Sonny had a concert on the same night, and Sonny sold out the largest venue and you flubbed," Estelle gasped.
"Well at least Estelle has the nerve to go into this competition!" Andreas said.
"Ok, it's not that 'we don't have the nerve'," I imitated his voice, "We just got back from our honeymoon and we've both been working nonstop since were teenagers."
"She's afraid," Estelle whispered with her mouth covered and her hand going towards Andreas.
"She's an idiot," Chad did the same thing making her look stupid for thinking we wouldn't hear that.
"Well at least I won't be disappointing my fans this summer," Estelle said smugly.
"What fans?" Tawn asked, "I've never even heard of you."
That really got me thinking. I haven't done a world tour in a while because I've been so busy, and this does give me that opportunity. But then again, Chad and I haven't really begun to unpack anything in our new house, and I have a couple of movie auditions coming up.
But this is for the fans…
"You're considering it?" Chad asked me once he saw how deep in thought I was and I nodded, "Me too."
"My comment just hurt them so much that they won't respond!" Estelle said pretty proud of herself.
"SHUT UP! THEY'RE TRYING TO TALK!" Tawni screamed at Estelle.
"Shut up they're trying to talk," Andreas did a really bad imitation of Tawn.
"You know what, we're in!" Chad alleged putting his arm around me. The crowd started cheering and I smiled.
"Prepare to lose!" Estelle said.
"Yeah! You guys are going down!" Andreas added.
Truthfully, they now looked a little worried.
"Whatever you say… PEACE OUT, SUCKAHHHHS!" Chad did his signature send-off and hung up, "Looks like we will be travelling the world together…again…" He smiled at me.
So…what'd you think? It still never fails to make me smile…
