Full Summary: Sonny is a normal seventeen year old that lives in Green Bay, WI where nothing remotely exciting happens besides football games.

This is an inspiration from BrandNewEyes929. I'm really excited to start this fic and I hope you guys like it. I've been getting a lot of messages about my writing and lets just say that your encouragement really helps me get this stuff out.
This is the best forum that I've written for, by far, that are the greatest supporters.
You guys rock.
Anyway...
So, to be honest I don't like this chapter and it's short, but this chapter is setting up the whole plot line. This puts everything in place so that we can get to the real stuff, which is why it's the Prologue. And don't worry. This is a Channy story for a reason.

Prologue
Being Normal
Sonny Monroe knew that she just the average day teenage girl with an ordinary family and normal grades...and also with dreams of making it big and high hopes of someday getting to Hollywood.
Which was never going to happen.
Living in a state that's known for it's byproducts wasn't going to get you much places without a college degree.
Fantasizes never hurt anyone though.
Just like that she saw herself waiting backstage, he roar of the crowd beckoning the upcoming scenes to start was thundering in her ears. Other names would be called first and there would be many rounds of applause as her cast mates made their way out and into the spotlight. They'd give her a smile before they entered center stage, and maybe some a warm hug. Then, in a booming voice, her name would be called. The applause would pick up until she couldn't hear herself think, and her feet would take her forward, where the curtains would part and a blinding light would shine on her. She'd smile to the people...
"Sonny?"
She looked up from her notebook, where she had doodled a sketch of a stage and a row of people waving with the forgotten pen that now laid on her desk. Then she turned around to look at who had poked her in the ribs, her head slightly dizzy from the jolt.
"What happened," she whispered. Her hand went to her chin, checking for any unwanted wetness.
"Guastad was going over the three conscience levels. You were zoned out again?"
She smiled, the fantasy coming to her mind again. "Something about a Random show." She looked up curiously at the top of his head and then the array of paper made toys. "Get bored, did we?"
He smiled and shrugged. "A hat made out a piece of paper, is nothing compared to 45 minutes of daydreaming."
"I like it. It makes you look like a giant...or an ogre."
She turned back around to find that everyone else was packing up, so stood and stretched her arms over her head. "One more hour to go. I need a weekend. I vote that if we ever stay up eating peanut butter balls and watching SNL marathons we should do it on Saturdays."
Picking up her folder and book in one hand she turned toward the guy that had interrupted her day dream and watched as he gathered his things. He took off the small hat on his head and ruffled his dark hair so that it sat unruly on his head.
She shook herself out of her stupor. "Hey, Conner? Isn't it your birthday coming up?" She asked sweetly.
He eyed her. "Yeah...not for a month. Don't tell me you're already planning?"
She twirled her body around a little. "Maybe," she sing-songed. "Bye Mr. Guastad. Have a good weekend!" She waved at the teacher who smiled and waved back quickly.
Sonny turned back to Conner who reached out and took her hand, leading her out of the room and into the busy hallway where students were high-fiveing each other and talking in crowds. "I told you, I don't want anything and I don't want you to go to the trouble. You know I'm all for a party, but with only us. It's nicer that way."
They turned a corner and she squeezed his hand in response. "It's no problem, I want to."
Conner shook his head. "Before I forget, Lucy is looking for you. She said something about an audition that's going on tomorrow."
She looked up curiously at him as they stopped near her locker. "An audition?"
He shrugged again. "She really didn't say anything other than that. She said that she wants to tell you." He looked over her head and nodded. "Here she comes now. I'll see you later." He let his dark green eyes meet her own and gave her a quick peck on the cheek and left.
Just as she turned toward her locker, there was a screech.
"Oh...my...gosh! Do I have news for you!"
Sonny quickly got her books and moved to shut her locker, but a hand got in the way.
Lucydug through the top shelf. Then, she pulled out a packet of white paper and handed them to Sonny. "You're gonna need these."
Sonny sighed. "Alright, I'll give. What did you do?"
She smiled and walked with Lucytoward their last class of the day.
She held up a hand to her chest. "Mwah? Nothing, but my mom, set you up an audition with the company that does Phantom of the Opera. She already talked to your mom, she's fine with it, of course."
Sonny's eyes widened. "What? Phantom? Are you sure? That's huge, I can't do that!"
Her friend frowned at her. "What are you talking about? You're amazing! And I don't think it's for that musical anyway. Mom just said that you need to bring your own audition to try out. I think it was for something small stage, I think it was called Mystery Manner or something like that. It's a comedy murder, right up your alley!"
Sonny sighed and stopped in front of the door for her study hall. "I don't know. I mean, it's tomorrow. That's too early for me to get ready." She fidgeted.
She had been acting since she was a baby, but that was only on home movies and school plays. She had never done anything serious, in more ways than one. She wanted to, really, but she wasn't ready. She didn't know the first thing about show business. The most experience that she had was her everyday life when she made her friends laugh. That didn't exactly look great on a resume.
"You know if you don't try out for something then you're never going to get that chance at So Random! and besides, you don't need preparation. You can do it all on the spot and nail it!"
Sonny sighed.
They had had this argument so many times that each of their reasoning's were starting to get worn. It was either she was going to just stay in Wisconsin and go to college and give up her dream as an actor, or she could give it a shot and she could make it. Then, if she didn't get the part, it wasn't like that was going to effect her.
She knew she was right. What was the point in wanting to be an actor if she wasn't going to try and become one? "Fine. What time and where?"
Lucy jumped up and down. "Yes! It's at noon in the Conservative Center in room..." She looked at her hand where she had written it down. "In room 113. I think that's on the first floor. I'll call you tonight. Are you going to want me to go with you for it?"
Sonny shook her head. "I think someone else being there will only make me more nervous. If I go alone, I'm more likely to stay calm. Hopefully."
Sonny flipped through her book of sketches that she had made over the last years and sat down at her desk in the back left corner of the room. She had no idea which one to do. She didn't know what she was doing.
Apparently she didn't know anything at the moment.
~*~
That was OOC…Once the normal characters are introduced, things will be right again…
I was going to put the audition in this chapter too, but I think this was a good place to stop.
Anyway, you've read. So, now it's time to review. The more feedback I get the more likely I am to update sooner. Also, this is rated T for later chapters.
Also, funniness yet to come...
Thanks! Later.
