A/N: A Channy story for those who support Channy. I'm going to update every other day or so and actually write several chapters for this. I hope you like it. Don't forget to review or tell me what you didn't like about it.

"I'm bored!" Tawni declared.
Of course, no one else in the So Random! lounge room was actually listening to her. On one side of the room Nico and Grady were playing Speed with two decks of cards, while Zora was untying Sonny's shoelaces and then tying the shoelaces on both shoes together. And Sonny, sitting on the plush couch, was talking on her Sidekick. Again.
"Why do you keep calling me, Chad?" Sonny threw a couch cushion in annoyance. Zora ducked her head, tightened the knot which held Sonny's shoelaces, and then slipped away. "Don't you have something better to do?"
"Actually Sonny, I do," Chad lied defiantly, and went on to explain to Sonny what he could be doing instead of talking to her. He was leaning against a pin-ball machine in the Mackenzie Falls studio game room. He felt a sense of accomplishment whenever he pushed Sonny's buttons, and that reward was more satisfactory than anything else.
Tawni, no longer interested in her compact mirror or her manicured nails, decided to eavesdrop in on Sonny's phone conversation. She sidled up to Sonny and sat down next to her friend, flashing Sonny an innocent smile. Sonny looked at Tawni for a brief moment before shouting into her phone, "Shut up Chad!"
Tawni stared, annoyed. It had become a daily ritual for Sonny to be bored, for Chad to call her up, and Sonny to become irritated with Chad's voice. It was obvious that Chad liked Sonny, and Sonny was denying any feelings for Chad. If only there was a way to make them get together already. Abruptly,Tawni's clear blue eyes lit up at once as an idea formed in her head. "Ask Chad to drop by! And bring Portlyn too!"
Sonny looked at Tawni as if she were delirious. "Why?"
However, Chad had overheard Tawni. "Whatever you say, Tawni. Be there in 5." With that, he hung up.
Sonny crossed her arms in an upset manner and glared at Tawni. "Tawni, why the hell would you do that?"
Tawni shrugged. "Well, it's not like you guys were even talking about anything worth your time." She went on to mock Sonny and Chad. "Fine. Fine. Good. Good. Good. Good." She stood up. "Honestly Sonny, there are better ways to waste your Tuesday nights."
"So why do you want Chad to come over?"
"Because we're gonna have our first weekly Game Night."
"Game Night? You have got to be kidding me."
"Nope," Tawni enunciated the word crisply.
Sonny sighed. "Fine. But only because I have nothing better to do."
"Oh Sonny," Tawni patted the top of her head and smiled sweetly. "You never do."
At that particular moment Chad and Portlyn strolled into the room, without knocking. Portlyn surveyed her surroundings in an apathetic demeanor.
"Alright, people, why am I here?" Chad flopped down on the couch next to Sonny, causing her to push him away from her. He retaliated by edging closer to her. Sonny rolled her eyes.
Tawni dragged an upset Nico and a displeased Grady from their match of Speed. Everyone had gathered around the couch, except Zora, who had managed to disappear.
"Alright everyone," Tawni began. "Since we're all here and bored out of our little heads-"
"You mean you're bored out your little head," Nico clarified. "I was just about to whip this chump in Speed. I had one card left!"
"That's because you got a head start!" Grady defended himself. "You-"
"Everybody, Tawni's talking! Therefore shut up and listen to her!" Tawni wrung her arms in frustration. Everyone turned to stare at her. Tawni smiled. She liked the attention. "As I was saying, because we all have nothing to do, I've decided to have our very first Game Night."
"What's Game Night?" Chad asked, clearly uninterested.
"It's simple. On Game Night, someone chooses a game for everyone to play. There are only three rules: Nothing illegal, no sex, and no lying."
Sonny sat up a little. "Wait, so we can play anything?"
"Pretty much," Tawni nodded her head. "But you have to follow the rules or it won't be fun. Is everyone ready?"
Sonny, Chad, Portlyn, Nico and Grady murmured in agreement.
"Okay, great!" Tawni clasped her hands together in mild excitement. "Let's play I Have Never!"
"How do you even play?" Sonny asked, curiosity brimming from her deep brown eyes.
Tawni looked exasperated. "Are you serious Sonny?"
Chad held up a hand and sighed. "Don't worry, I'll teach her." He turned to face Sonny. "It's pretty simple. Everyone holds out a hand with all fingers up. People take turns stating something they've never done. If anyone else in the circle has done what you haven't, they put a finger down. The point is to find out secrets about other people in an open way. It goes on until someone loses all their fingers, then he or she is out the game. For example, if I said, 'I have never been to a strip club' and Portlyn has, then Portlyn would put down a finger. But if she hasn't, she wouldn't put down a finger. Obviously more than one person can lose a finger in any turn, so if Tawni has also been to a strip club, then she would put a finger down along with Portlyn."
"I still don't get it," Sonny concluded. "Who wins?"
"The winner is the last person left with fingers. That person is just the most inexperienced out of everyone."
"Okay," Sonny nodded her head, "Then what's the point of this game?"
"To make people confess things," Tawni replied. "I'll start!" She established as everyone held out a hand. After a brief moment of thinking, she glanced wickedly at Sonny and Chad before she came up with a decent declaration. "I have never…had a crush on anyone this past month. Remember people, no lying."
Sonny bit her lower lip and looked around the circle. Game Night had begun.
I hope this was worth your time. Please tell me what you think! Thanks!
