A new story! This is so exciting! I will definitely still be updating Chad With a Chance a lot, so don't worry! I love that story so much! I just had the for this recently. Thanksgiving is favorite holiday, and it always brings out the best in people. I decided to write a story about our favorite stars spending this lovely holiday together. I am so excited for this story! This chapter is kind of boring. It's just to set up the story. It will get better, I promise! I hope you guys like this story as much as I do! And a line break means that it is switching between Sonny and Chad's POV. There will probably be POVs of other characters in later chapters, but I'll let you know when that happens.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonny With a Chance or anything associated with it!
I eyed the raspberry cheesecake sitting at the cafeteria dessert bar. It looked so appetizing, and it was practically begging me to eat it. I was ravenous from a long morning at work, and the slice of cake was exactly what I needed. I stuck out my hand, getting ready to grab it. When suddenly, another hand snatched it away. I turned around to see none other than Chad Dylan Cooper, holding my cheesecake.
"Chad!" I exclaimed. I shot him a death glare.
"Sonny!" he mocked, as he set the cake down on his tray.
"I was going to take that! It's the last one and I'm starved!" Chad let out a sly laugh. Have I mentioned how annoying he is? I'll get to that later.
"Well, I don't even like cheesecake. I just took it to make you mad." I heard a feminine laugh from behind me. It was none other than Marta Balatico.
I rolled my eyes at Marta. She's one of the bimbos from Mackenzie Falls, alongside Chad, Portlyn Maddison, Ferguson Michaels, Skylar DeVane, and Chastity Ann DeWitt. Mackenzie Falls is the rival show at our lot, Condor Studios. I'm on a show called So Random, which is a comedy, unlike Mackenzie Falls. The Mackenzie Falls crew thinks they are so much better than us, just because their ratings are a little higher. None of our casts like one another, but Chad and I have a special disdain towards each other. We seem to always be bickering. Okay, sometimes we have moments. Sometimes he can be sweet, like the time he danced with me at the fake prom or the time he dressed up as my biggest fan. The moments are nice, and if he wasn't the biggest self-centered jerk face I'd ever met I'd probably have a crush on him.
But alas, he is the biggest self-centered jerk face that I've ever met. So what if he's adorable and sometimes sweet? Anyways, back to reality.
"Chad?" I turned back to the three-named heartthrob. "Can I please have my cheesecake back?" I said that in overly-sweet tone, even for me.
"Sure," he muttered. I smiled. He was being uncharacteristically nice. Maybe he's turning over a new leaf. As soon as the thought crossed my mind, Chad threw the cheesecake straight at me. The raspberry gel splattered all over my brand new, WHITE dress.
"What the heck?" I screamed. "Oh, you are so in for it Cooper!" I took a huge spoonful of mystery meat from the lunch line and flung it straight at Chad. The grey mush splattered all over Chad's hair. Bullseye.
Chad let out his high-pitched girly scream. "I just got this done, Munroe!" He flung a handful of his spaghetti bolognese on me. Soon enough, both of our casts were engaging in our food fight. They were throwing food at each other for no apparent reason. Chad and I were at it, throwing insults back and forth as much as we were throwing actual food.
"At least I'm funny!" I yelled.
"At least I can act!" he countered. That was the last straw. I can act, thank you very much. I act in all of my sketches. Who does he think he is? I flung another spoonful of mystery meat at him, but Chad ducked. The meat went straight in someone else's face. The man wiped his face and revealed a disgusted look. It was Mr. Condor, aka head of Condor Studios.
That's not good.
"Munroe! Cooper! My office! NOW!" he yelled. I grabbed Chad by the hand and dragged him down the hall, despite his protests. Tawni shot me a sympathetic glance.
I didn't know what was in store for Chad and I, but one thing was for sure. This wasn't going to end well for either of us.
Sonny and I sat in Mr. Condor's office, awaiting our fate. That stupid girl messed my entire career up. Mackenzie Falls is going to become... Penelope Falls. Can you even imagine? Why does she have to be so annoyingly cute? Making me want to throw food at her. Stupid cute.
Mr. Condor was sitting at his desk, talking on his phone. I began to listen in on his conversation. "Uh huh." my boss mumbled into the phone. "Alright! That's perfect! I'm so glad this is going to work out. I'll order the tickets as soon as I'm done with Sonny and Chad." I gulped. Done with us, which means Sonny and I are toast. Well, at least if I was going down, Sonny was coming with me. "Thanks Jessica! Tell Will and the girls thanks as well!" Oh goodness. Jessica. Will. The girls. Mr. Condor was on the phone with my mother. This was not good. Not at all.
"This is all your fault!" I yelled at the brunette sitting next to me. She looked terrified.
"My fault?" she asked. "Tell me Chad, how is this my fault? You're the one who stole my cake and threw the food first! You just have to make everything complicated. Don't you?"
I was about to come up with a snarky reply, but Mr. Condor turned to face the two of us. "Well, well, well. If it isn't my two favorite troublemakers."
"Mr. Condor, please don't fire us!" Sonny begged. She's sticking up for me? That's oddly out of character for her. "It's always been my dream to be on So Random! I'll clean up the cafeteria! And Mackenzie Falls wouldn't be as good if it became Penelope Falls! Please! We will do anything!" I won't do anything. I have a very long list of things I won't do, but we won't get into that.
A smug grin appeared on Mr. Condor's face. "I'm not going to fire you. Either of you." Phew! Wait, if he wasn't going to fire me, then why would he be on the phone with my mom? Something smells fishy here.
"Mr. Condor," I started. "If you aren't you going to fire us, why were you on the phone with my mother?"
"The bickering between the cast of your shows has gotten out of hand," he said. "It seems that you two are always the instigators. The feud has been bringing some negative press to the studio. People are starting to say that I can't keep my actors in line, so I've organized a little trip for you all. As you know, Thanksgiving is a week from today." I gulped. My family and Thanksgiving. This wasn't going to be good. Getting fired was starting to sound like the better option. "Mr. and Mrs. Cooper have agreed to chaperone. You all will be taking a trip to the Cooper's lake house in New Hampshire and spending Thanksgiving there. Your flight leaves tomorrow at 7 AM, so I suggest that you two go and inform your casts. You are dismissed." Sonny and I stood up and walked out of the office.
Could this be any worse? Not only do I have to spend an entire week with the Randoms, but everyone is going to meet my wacko family. This is just dandy.
"This is going to be the worst week of my life," I mumbled as Sonny and I trudged down the empty hallway.
"Why?" Sonny exclaimed. "I think it sounds fun! I love lake houses!" Leave it to Sonny to make the best out of this terrible situation. She's so adorably annoying. She makes it so hard to dislike her.
"Um, Sonny. You know we aren't going to be swimming right?"
"Duh, Chad," she reassured me. "I'm from Wisconsin. Lake houses are the best in the winter anyways! See you tomorrow!" She sauntered into the prop house and left me standing alone in the deserted hallway.
I sighed. My relationship with that girl is so complicated. I don't even know what to think of her. Sometimes I wonder if I have actual feelings for her, but that'd be impossible. I don't know, she's just so complicated. We're complicated. Hating her is just the easiest thing to do. Well, we were in for an interesting week, that's for sure.
That's it! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. The next one is where the story will start to get interesting. You are going to meet Chad's family! Read, review, and enjoy! :D
