AN: OK so chapter one was just a bit of an introduction to the whole story and a bit of a gentle reminder about what had happened in the past etc etc etc. Btw I totally forgot to do an A/N for chapter 1 so here it is:
AN: Okay, so this is my first ever fanfic and it is actually based on a dream I had, yeah I'm not afraid to admit it! I HAD A DREAM ABOUT SWAC! I'm not sure if it's any good so review please! So basically, Sonny and Chad have been dating for a while now and everyone has just about come to terms with the fact that they won't be breaking up anytime soon ;)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SWAC OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, I ONLY OWN THE PLOTLINE AS IT WAS MY DREAM. I didn't mean to make that sound like I was shouting or bragging or anything then by the way. Anyway, on with Chapter 1! :D
Also I would just like to thank:

For being the first three people to ever review my story ( even though it did get 117 hits, which I am super amazed at! :D ) I actually happy danced all round the house when I saw people had reviewed! :D Also (again) in reply to channystemiluver4ever's review: not necessarily ;)
By the way I started back at school today so I won't be able to update as much as I'll have loads of coursework to do and stuff 'cause I'm starting my GCSEs now :/ Wow long A/N, so here's the disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN SWAC OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS(OR SCOUTING FOR GIRLS) yada yada yada…
So here it is, chapter 2 :) I'm really sorry about it being so long but I just wanted to end it there so yeah, enjoy!
Chapter 2 – The Party
Chad's POV
On my way to Sonny and Tawni's dressing room bumped into the other randoms.
'Hey Chip!' I gave him a look. 'Sorry, Hey Chad'
'Hey.' As much as I don't like it, I am actually starting to like Nico. Grady's not that bad either, that little Zora still scares me a bit though, no – wait! CDC isn't scared of anything, nah who am I kidding, she scares me.
'Hey Chad you seen Zora?' Grady asked worriedly.
'Uh will she not just be crawling around in the vents like usual?'
'No we checked there, we can't find her anywhere!' Nico was just as worried, it's kind of sweet that they're so worried, the randoms seem a lot closer than us over at the 'Falls'.
'Hey fellas.' A small female voice said from behind me.
'WOAH!' We all screamed in unison, man how does she do that? I turned around just to check it definitely was Zora, and what I saw was definitely not Zora! What we all saw was a 12 year old vision in velvet, her knee-length dress was a dark purple and she was wearing a long heart shaped locket with a big 'Z' engraved in it. She was also wearing small pearl earrings and matching bracelets, her mousy brown hair was down and curly! In her hair she had a single purple bow with a tiny pearl in the middle. I had never seen Zora like this, and judging by the looks on their faces, neither had Nico or Grady!
'Z-Zora?' Nico stammered, he looked like he was struggling to breathe.
'Are y-you w-wearing, m-make-up?' questioned a now very pale Grady.
'Yeah, I stole some from Tawni when she had her back turned, I kind of wanted to leave this year on a high!' the girl replied with her hands on her hips.
'Well you look, beautiful Zora.' I managed to squeeze a compliment out before I departed, I even saw her blush! 'Speaking of which, I need to go get Sonny, see you guys later?'
'Sure thing, bye Chad!'
'See ya!'
Well that came as a bit of a shock, I mean, Zora! In a dress! Anyway, as I reached the dressing room door, I ran my fingers through my hair one last time, and then did my 'special' knock so Sonny knew it was me. It appeared Zora wasn't the only one who was going to make me speechless tonight. It was as if, as she opened the door, the single swift movement had taken all the oxygen out of the room, and I was left standing there, just staring in awe.
'Chad, breathe!' she laughed, how I love her laugh. I took in one deep breath and tried to regain what was left of my signature cool.
'That's easy for you to say! You're not looking at you.' And there goes the cool again. She did look amazing though. Her outfit was simple, and not too ostentatious. Very Sonny, she looked perfect. Her brown strapless dress reached just above her knees, but she was wearing tights, which made it look a lot more casual – in a good way. Round her waistline was a baby pink sash, which matched the cute cardigan she was wearing, the pink really brought out the brown in her eyes, those amazing, big, brown, eyes. Her heels were the perfect height, not too small, not too tall – I didn't want her to be as tall as me, that would just be awkward, but she was the perfect height, the top of her head just reached my chin. Wait – hang on a second, I recognise this outfit. Why do I recognise this outfit?
'Um Sonny, why do I recognise this outfit?' I asked nervously. I knew I recognised it, I just didn't know where from.
'Well, I'll give you a clue.' She replied mysteriously. 'What is so special about today?'
'Uh, it's a whole year since we went on our first- OH! You wore this on our first date! It has been washed right?' It suddenly clicked! I threw up on this dress! OK so I deserved that playful whack around the head.
'Course it's been washed!' We both shuddered at the thought of our first-first date.
'So…' I said excitedly.
'So…' She copied back.
'Well…'
'Well…' She grinned like a cheshire cat at this. Then we both burst into laughter at our little inside joke, whilst Tawni just stood in the dressing room, confused.
'Shall we?' I offered her my arm, just like I had exactly one year ago today. Aah memories.
'We shall.' She smiled as she took my arm. I got that shiver down my spine I always get when she touches me, even after a whole year.
SPOV
'You coming Tawn?' I called back to my friend.
'I'll catch you up! Don't wanna be a third wheel!' We hear her call back.
'OK!' I replied. 'Wow, that was oddly thoughtful of her.' I said to Chad as we made our way to the party.
'Yeah well, maybe today everyone is looking for a change!' That scared me, what did he mean, a change? Oh no! What if he's gonna break up with me! Nah, who am I kidding, I see the way he looks at me, with those deep blue eyes, he wouldn't, not tonight anyway. But just to check,
'What do you mean?' I asked innocently.
'Well, have you not seen Zora?'
'No why?'
'She's wearing a dress!' I actually nearly fell over when he said that.
'Are you sure? Zora? Dress? Really? What!' I noticed we had arrived outside stage 2.
'Yes Sonny, really! You can look once we get inside the party.' He gave me his nice genuine smile that I loved so much, and we went into the party. The place looked amazing! There were balloons and banners and then right in the middle of the room on the far wall, a huge picture of me and Chad and hung above it was a banner that read,
'CONGRATULATIONS!'
Then suddenly everyone turned to look at us, I heard a few gasps, probably at Chad. He did look really good tonight, his hair was all tousled and he was wearing his favourite pale blue shirt and black jacket.
'HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!' Everyone shouted. I was so overwhelmed! I never thought that people cared this much about us!
'Surprise.' Chad looked down at me adoringly, with those big blue eyes. I found myself getting lost in them – again. I remember the first time I looked into them, the time when we almost kissed…
*flashback*
'Knock knock.' I had turned round to find Chad leaning against the doorframe of my dressing room.
'Chad.'
'Sonny. Hey, look what I've got for our rehearsal. Two tubes of lip balm, one for my upper, and one for my lower.' I had shaken my head at him; I was used to this cocky behaviour by then.
'OK will you relax, I'm just goofing around. Look, I really wanna do a good job.' I had never seen this side of Chad before, I was shocked!
'Really!'
'Yeah. You know look, let's go from the part where the 'Hot E.M.T' comes in – that's me, and says, 'Tell me where it hurts?'' We sat down on the couch and he did the whole, 'look into my eyes' thing.
'Wow Chad. You were right; I am getting lost in your eyes! This feels like a dream.' He had leaned in to kiss me, and then I woke up.
*end of flashback*
OK so I was dreaming, but it felt real.
CPOV
Sonny's face was a picture. As soon as we walked in the room, I saw her jaw drop and tears fill her eyes. Even though I knew all about the party I didn't think I could trust Tawni to do such a good job; the place looked amazing! I looked over at Sonny and smiled,
'Surprise.' I said as she looked me in the eyes - she was getting lost again – I grinned. She did that a lot.
'Chad? You did all this for me?' I saw a tear almost creeping out of the corner of her eye. Everyone had gone back to their own business by now.
'Well actually I-'
'You like it?' Tawni crept out of the shadows as she interrupted me, normally this would annoy me but right now I couldn't be anything but happy. 'Some of my best work wouldn't you agree?' I coughed a little bit. 'With help from Chad of course.' She smiled at me. We both looked over at Sonny, who now had two small tears rolling down her face.
'I love it, I love it, I love it!' She hugged Tawni who looked a bit shocked at first – she's not a hugger – but then relaxed into it. Sonny pulled away and wiped away her tears then smiled at me.
'Thank you so much you guys! You are amazing.' She looked from me to Tawni then back to me. Our eyes locked and I vaguely heard Tawni say something.
'I guess I'll go get some punch then.' She backed away and left us still staring into each other's eyes. It was me who eventually broke the silence,
'Care to dance m'lady?' I offered her my hand and she took it gratefully.
'Sure.'
I gave the DJ the special signal; flicking my hair to the left. This was his cue to play a song I had specially chosen just for Sonny.
I lead her onto the dance floor and the current song started to fade, there was a second of silence and then came the song.
Take a chance before it's gone,
Throw me a rope or string me along.
I'm nothing without you. This man is nothing without you.
I know it's been a difficult year,
It's been all I can do just to keep you near.
I want you to know,
You're the star of my show.
I'll sing these songs about you. It wouldn't be the same without you.
I know you try to hide; I know you try to act tough.
But take a chance on us
Take a chance on us, throw your arm round love, and let it pull you up, tonight.
Take a chance on us, I won't give us up, take a chance on us tonight
I always thought that we could make it through,
If you gave me the chance I always knew.
I don't care what they say,
You were mine all the way.
And though it seems like it's pouring again,
You don't get flowers without no rain.
Look what we've done -
Look how far we have come.
I'll sing these songs about you. It wouldn't be the same without you.
I know you try to hide; I know you try to act tough.
But take a chance on us
Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round love and let it pull you up tonight.
Take a chance on us
I won't give us up
Take a chance on us tonight
Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round love and let it pull you up tonight.
I know that times are tough.
I know we ain't got much.
But I can't give us up, tonight.
Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round love and let it pull you up tonight.
Take a chance on us.
I know we ain't got much.
But I won't give us up, tonight.
Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round love and let it pull you up tonight.
The music faded and Sonny gave me that toothy grin of hers. Everybody cheered and we left the floor.
'Chad, that was amazing.'
'I have my moments.' I replied with a grin. Another song came on and we headed back towards the dance floor, for hours and hours we danced to the beat of the drum. Eventually we went to the table where all the drinks and snacks were, and got some punch.
After a few moments of silence I said,
'It's a bit loud in here,' I raised my voice against the now pumping music, 'I wanna show you something.'
Dun, dun, DUUUN! Nah not really :) what's he gonna show her? you'll just have to wait and see... no really, i haven't written that far yet xD
