Sonny With a Chance of . . .Wizards?
"Yay," Alex muttered. Well at least she finally had something to do. As they were walking, Alex realized that this Sonny girl reminded her directly of Harper. They were both peppy, and energetic and positive. The only difference being, this girl actually knew how to dress. . .
"Okay we're here! Studio three, otherwise known as So Random!" Sonny explained.
Alex looked around. She clutched her wand in her left boot. She found that she could definitely have some fun with this place. Then remembering that if she did, her family would probably never be able to come back to L.A. and lowered her wand back into her shoe.
Instantly, Alex was bored again. Sonny was going on and on about their next sketch idea, and Alex could really care less. She looked around again, in despair of something to do. Hmm, she thought, maybe I could use that party in a box that I "conveniently" fit into my pocket . . . ooh, I could say I invited my friends from New York! Yes. Alex reached into her back pocket to pull out the party in a box. And then her eyes found him. His blonde hair swayed to the side, his deep blue eyes focused on his phone.
Alex realized she was staring when Sonny gave her a reality check.
"Hello? Alex?" Sonny swiped her hand in front of Alex's face. She snapped out of it.
"What?" She shook her head twice.
"I said do you want me to introduce you to the cast?" Sonny repeated.
"Oh, uh sure." Alex sighed.
"Great, come on!" Sonny grabbed Alex's hand and dragged her out of the prop house. They walked into the hallway when the bumped into the boy Alex saw earlier.
Alex fixed her hair and turned on her cute but flirty smile.
He stared for a second and then turned to Sonny.
"Hey, Sonny." He smiled and they hugged.
"Hey, Chad. Oh, this is my new friend Alex Russo. Uh, this is my boyfriend Chad Dylan Cooper." Sonny smiled.
They shook hands while Alex plastered a fake smile on her mouth. "Boyfriend…" Alex mumbled. "Yay. Um, nice to meet you." Alex was still smiling. On the outside. But on the inside, she felt jealously and a hint of vengeance.
There was a moment of silence.
"Well, honey I'll see you later. And Alex come on! I gotta introduce you to the rest of the So Random! cast!" Sonny dragged Alex along with her and Chad smiled.
"Huh," he said still smiling.
"Don't even think about it." Tawni came from behind Chad's shoulder. He yelped that little girl scream of his.
"Ah! Wh-what are you talking about?" he asked, innocently.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. You were going to hit on Sonny's friend," Tawni said in a cold voice.
"What? No I wasn't," Chad's voice came out high pitched.
"Yes you were." Tawni came walked around Chad to face him.
"Well, what are you going to do about it?" Chad asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all. I'm just saying that if you do, you better watch out." Tawni looked him straight in the eye for a minute and left.
"And lastly, Zora." Sonny just finished introducing Alex to everybody. And to her dismay, she had to pretend she looked happy. Alex just wanted to know what was going on between Sonny and Chad. I mean, Sonny looked happy of course. But Chad . . . Alex's thoughts trailed off.
Everyone muttered a friendly "hello" and Alex unwillingly did the same.
"Okay well, that's everyone," Sonny said smiling, as usual. Suddenly, a loud blaring bell went off.
"Ugh. What was that?" Alex asked, curious.
"Oh, that was just the lunch bell. You hungry?" Sonny asked.
Alex thought for a minute. Lunch was a great opportunity to be alone with Sonny and ask her about Chad. Soon enough, she found herself saying, "Starved."
"Follow me."
They trekked to the cafeteria, and of course nothing there seemed edible. While Sonny was having some mystery meat piled up on her tray, Alex went over to the corner. She looked around and there was no one in sight. Alex quickly took out her wand and recited:
"None of this food I want on my tray
So fetch me a vanilla sundae."
Suddenly, a huge sundae appeared in Alex's hands, as usual.
Sonny walked up to her and gasped. "I saw that."
Alex had a tingle of fear go through her body. "You did?"
"Yeah."
"Look, it's not what you think," Alex started.
"Yeah it is. . . you bribed the cafeteria lady! How'd you do it?"
Alex let out a sigh of relief. "Right. That's what I did. I bribed, yeah, what you said." She stammered.
"Well, how'd you do it?" Sonny wanted to know.
"Uh, you know charm and money, duh!" Alex lied, pretentiously.
Sonny chuckled. "Oh, Alex. You're so funny," she said laughing.
"Sonny Munroe report to Marshall's office immediately," a female voice over the intercom announced.
"Who's Marshall?" Alex asked, trying to make conversation.
"He's the director. Um, I'll be right back, why don't you have a seat?" Sonny walked off while Alex took a chair at an empty table. She turned and looked out the window while sipping her sundae.
"Hello, gorgeous," said a voice. Alex turned to see none other than the "greatest actor of our generation" sitting across from her.
"You. What are you doing here?" Alex found herself saying those words when she really meant to say, "get out of my face, you loser."
"I just wanted to know—" he started.
"Yeah?" Alex interrupted, worrying if Sonny would return and get the wrong idea.
"If it hurt. When you fell from heaven."
Alex giggled. "Okay if you think that is a good pick up line, then you must be crazy." Alex stood to get up, but Chad did the same and reached for her arm.
"Okay, Alex I know that was bad but that's only 'cause I'm a little nervous."
"Oh, you mean they get worse when you're happy?" Alex laughed a little at her own joke as she started to walk away. Chad followed grabbed her arm and turned her around to face him.
As Chad looked deep into her brown eyes he found himself saying, "Go out with me tomorrow."
"What? You're going out with Sonny. No." Alex was a troublemaker, but when it came to relationships she knows where she stands. She was not going out with Chad Dylan Cooper.
"I know but there's something about you that I just—I don't know. I feel like you're the one."
"How could you possibly know that, you just met me." Alex took a sip of her sundae and looked at Chad compassionately.
"Just go out with me tomorrow." Chad presided.
"Fine. But we're just having lunch. And only lunch. And this is not a date." Alex laid the rules down harshly.
"Fine," Chad said.
"Fine," Alex continued.
"Good."
"Good!"
Alex walked out of the cafeteria to find Sonny. Of course she wasn't going to tell her about her little encounter with Chad or about lunch tomorrow. But she needed to talk to someone.
She was headed to Marshall's office but suddenly stopped and had a thought. She didn't need to talk to Sonny. She needed to talk to Harper.
She hurried back to her hotel room and slammed the door shut hard. She rested her head on the door for a minute.
"Alex?"
She turned around and gasped in shock. "Mason? What are you doing here?"
