RECAP!!

"Well, if he doesn't already, he will so-", Tawni started, but was interrupted by a loud Moo-ing. Sonny looked down at her cell phone, the source of the sound.

"It's him", she gasped, unable to hide the hint of fear she was experiencing.

"Well, answer it", Tawni exclaimed, a little bored by the immaturity of the situation. It was only a scene kiss. No big deal... so why were they making it one?

"I will", Sonny said indignantly, pushing the ANSWER button and putting the phone to her ear...

**********************

"Sonny? Have you read this?", Chad yelled into his phone. Sonny had to hold her phone away from her ear. Looking over at Tawni, she had to hold back a growl at her reaction. The blonde actress was out of breathe from laughter. Her face had gone red and she was keeled over in her chair.

"Read the script? Yes, I have and I think we should go to your writers and complain", she groaned. There was an awkward silence from the other end. "Chad?", Sonny said, dreading his next words.

"Well, I'm not really allowed in the script office anymore. Supposedly, I've complained too many times and it threatens the writers too much", he said awkwardly. "But, none of this shit would be happening if you hadn-", he started in on Sonny again, but she interrupted him.

"Don't start with me Chad! This is just as much your fault as it is mine", Sonny scoffed back. She couldn't believe him. It wasn't as if she wanted to be on the show.

"Well, of course you're not complaining. You get to kiss Chad Dylan Cooper, but me? I have to kiss you", Chad said, disgust lacing his voice. Sonny couldn't believe her ears. She tried to push away the hurt that came with his words, and took a deep breathe.

"Yes Chad. Coming from the one who thought the kiss back on our fake date night was real. And 'pretty good'-", she started. She paced back and forth the dressing room, ready to yell at him for hours. Tawni kept looking over at her. She had taken to reading fanmail, but it was more the obvious to Sonny that she was eavesdropping.

"That was a joke Sonny. See, the fact that you come from Chuckle City, I thought you'd catch onto that. What a lack of a sense of humour for someone who acts on a supposed Comedy Sketch Show", he chuckled at his own, stupid joke and Sonny huffed.

"Do me a favour Chad- leave me alone! I will work on your show and I will be there on time, but I WON'T be talking to you", she hung up on him so fast that he wasn't able to make a comeback.

Turning around, she came face to face with Tawni. She was smirking, but Sonny didn't have the patience for that right now.

"Honestly Tawni. I don't want to hear it", she put her hands up in defense and plopped into her seat. Her head sunk into the soft, velvety cushion and she was so exhausted that she could have fell asleep. That is, until Tawni completely ignoring her request, plopped down beside her.

"I know that you don't want to talk, especially after you've had to put up with Chad-", she scrunched up her nose at his name. "- but I can help you with your script. Reading your lines I mean. Before I did sketch comedy, I actually was on a sitcom. So, I know all about that", she said. Sonny opened one eye and looked at her quizzically. Tawni helping her? "I'm serious", she added fiercely.

"I don't know. But right now, no more script or MacKenzie Falls or him", Sonny whined, mirroring Tawni's scrunch of the nose, while spitting out 'him'.

The rest of the afternoon Sonny just lay on her chair, trying (but without success) to not imagine the kissing scene. She hated the fact that Chad thought she wanted him- as if. And even if she did, it's none of his business. And, she hated that fact also that she blushed a furious shade of red at the thought of the kiss. It just wasn't fair.

Going to dinner at the commissary seemed like a pretty good idea. Besides, it was a Saturday night, so there was bound not to be many people there. She even smiled a little as she sat down with her plate of.. she wasn't quite sure what it was exactly, but she was content just to be alone.

She almost screamed when she felt a light tapping on her shoulder. Catching her breath and trying to calm her heart rate back to normal, she turned back around, flipping her hair in the process. Pushing back her... food, she decided she wasn't hungry anymore.

"Yes it is, good observation", Chad answered coming around to sit down across from her. He turned his nose up at the sight of her food, pushing the tray further down the table. "So don't have a 'date' or anything tonight- a Saturday night? No friends either I see", he looked around the commissary with a fake sad face on.

"Nope, no 'date' tonight, "Sonny answered, matching his same mocking tone on the word 'date'. "But I see you dont have a date or friends either Chad", Sonny laughed at him. He looked bored of her lame comeback.

"Oh, you mean those losers on my show?", he asked cocking an eyebrow.

"It's not your show. And since when do you call them losers?", Sonny asked, not missing a beat.

"Since I realized today how blatantly stupid they are", he rolled his eyes and sat there looking at Sonny in silence.

"What are you looking at?", Sonny asked, turning the tiniest bit pink and refusing to meet his gaze again. He chuckled at her reaction and answered.

"I just realized why exactly you don't have a date tonight, he lied, getting up from the table, bracing himself for her defense. Sure enough...

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?", she thundered, getting up from her seat and placing her hands on the table in front of her for support.

"All I'm saying Sonny is that you're quite the fortunate girl to be kissing someone like.. someone like me", Chad said, leaning against the nest table over. He seemed amused by her reaction again.

"Someone like you huh? So an egotistical, dumbass jerk?", she spat at him, pushing off from the table, ready to leave. Passing by him, he grabbed a hold of her arm and pinned her against the table. She had to sit on the edge to keep from falling down against it.

"Well there must be something you like about me Monroe. Or else, you wouldn't blush so much when I'm around", at the word blush, he brushed his finger against her cheek, proving his point when a bright pink reflected beneath his fingertips. He smirked and she groaned and rolled her eyes.

She tried to calm her breathing and ignore the fact that his mouth was only inches from hers. She could just move the angle of her face and... no she couldn't! She kneed him and moved away, to the other side of the table so that a situation like that wouldn't happen again.

"Get a life Chad", she growled, turning on her heel and bolting from the commissary. He sat down at the table and laughed to himself. He knew how well he could get under her skin, but highly doubted she knew just how much she got under his. He groaned a little inwardly as she stormed out of the room, her ass swaying from side to side as she went.

"She wants me", he smugly told himself before he too got up and left for his apartment.

*****

On her first day of shooting, Sonny got up extra early to choose her outfit and run over her lines again. Chad had said be there by 8 AM sharp, and although she refused to follow his orders, she knew that she couldn't get in trouble, especially on her first day.

So, she headed over to the Mackenzie Falls set and arrived just in time for her scene.

"Sonny! I'm so glad you're here. And, so early too", Anne the producer for the show exclaimed cheerily. Looking around, Sonny noticed that she was the only cast member there, only the crew and make-up/ wardrobe team were there. She fought back another growl that almost escaped her lips and plastered a fake, bright Sonny smile on her face.

"Well, it's my first day and I wanted to be here, just in case. So, what do I do first?", Sonny asked, looking toward the caterer's table. Her stomach growled a little as she remembered her lack of food for the past day.

"We should get you into hair and make-up... and wardrobe", the Anne said, her nose wrinkling as she looked at Sonny. "Don't get me wrong Sonny, you look good for... well for you. But for Sam? Not so much. So, if you just head over there-", she led Sonny to a brightly lit mirror, "-Stefan will do your hair and make-up. Then, just go see Mel for your outfit. Have fun!", at that moment, Anne's cell went off and she excused herself to answer it.

Sonny took her seat and allowed Stefan to do his work. She allowed herself to daydream as he went to work on her, so she was a little surprised to be snapped out of her daydream so fast and pushed her on her way to get changed.

Stepping out from behind the curtain after squeezing into the jean skirt and tight long sleeved tee, she bumped right into...

"Oh Chad! Sorry, I... I-", but she stopped talking as soon as she saw her reflection. She was surprised at what or who she saw. Her hair was shiny and placed in two messy pig tails, her eyes were bright and fake, faint freckles had been painted on her upper cheeks.

"I- I-", Sonny was still trying to get it out when Chad interrupted her, smirking his signature smirk.

"I like it. Hello Miss Sonny's legs", he chuckled.

"Don't look at them", she whined, trying to walk away quickly. But, he was right on her heel.

"They're just legs Sonny. Nice legs but...", Sonny cringed at the way he said 'nice'.

"Look, just stay away from me okay? My first scene isn't even with you, so we don't have to talk to each other. Why don't you just go to wherever it is you need to be" she snarled. She could finally breathe again when she no longer felt his presence around her. She stopped just before she rounded the corner, pepping herself up for what she was about to do.

"Just breathe. It's only a pair of legs. And a low-cut top. But, no one will look. Besides, the scene is only Portlyn and I. You can do this Sonny", she nodded, took a few more breaths and rounded the corner, ready for her day ahead.

Or so she thought.
