A/N: Okie dokie, I've decided to continue on with this. All you reviewers have told me that you want more. So you know what? Imma give to ya! =P This chap will more than likely be filler. But the next should have some Channy love. =) It would just feel a little rushed if I skipped right to it. But yeah, I'm almost completely set one making this a 3-shot.
Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Sonny nearly ran into Tawni as she entered the stage for rehearsal.
"Hey Sonny...You seem to be in a hurry..."
She replied, out of breath, "Well yeah. I'm running...late." She looked up at the clock on the wall as she finished her sentence.
6:58.
Her confusion was painted heavily on her now red face. She bent over, her hands above her knees, panting, "I....I still have 2 minutes?"
Tawni shot a confused glance at her co-star. "Yeah. You're on time. In fact, it's Nico and Grady who should be worried about being late. Nico just texted me saying he's stuck in traffic. They won't be here for, like, 10 or 15 minutes."
Sonny stood up straight again, still out of breath, her confusion replaced with relief - her eyes stretched in surprise and a smile threatening its way onto her fruity lips.
Tawni just kept staring at her confusedly, waving her hand in front of Sonny's face. "Helloooooo? Earth to Sonny! Come in Sonny!" Tawni scoffed at her co-star who was in her own little world. "Whatever. You enjoy your little day dream..."

Right after rehearsal, on her way to the commisary to snag some dinner before leaving for the day, Sonny noticed her phone vibrating in her pocket.
She had a text from a number she didn't quite recognize.
Hey Son-beam. It's Jared.
Her eyes stretched to the size of saucers. Jared was this amazingly gorgeous, unbelievably popular jock from her high school back in Wisconsin. She had started dating him at the beginning of her Sophomore year - his junior year. About two months before she was cast to So Random! he dumped her for Heather - the cattiest bitch in all of Middleton, who just so happened to be Sonny's best friend until the third grade - until she got her braces off and her mom let her get highlights. Sonny was completely heartbroken and wished every night that he would beg for her to take him back.
Uh...hey J. What's up? She slowly responded. She was completely mystified. She never expected to hear from Jared. Ever. But here she was, texting him back.
Well babe, I just wanted to know if...you know, we could get back together. Start fresh. How bout it gorgeous?
Sonny ran her thumb back and forth across the screen, pondering the question. Suddenly, the thought of someone came out of no where, causing a small, sweet smile to etch its way onto her face.
No Jared. You hurt me, I can't forgive you for that. And...I've found someone else. Someone...better. She sighed contentedly as she pressed send.
She turned her phone off after that and set off to the commisary for lunch, smiling to herself as she practically skipped down the halls.
She looked down at her watch, only to realize that she was going to get there late. She groaned as she quickened her pace. And my day was going so well...

"Sorry hon, all out of our normal stuff," Brenda the lunch lady told Sonny.
Sonny's face fell, and her stance also mirrored her disappointment. The food there might not have been all that great, but she still had to eat.
She looked up to see Brenda look around, almost as if she was checking to see if the coast was clear. "Here," she Brenda said quietly as she passed Sonny a silver covered platter. "Just...just don't tell anyone that I gave this to you."
Sonny's eyes were wide once again as she took the plate from the lunch lady as she removed the cover. "Thank....thankyou Brenda..." she muttered as she turned to sit with her cast mates, a look of confusion covering her face.
"Hey Son-- What....is that?!" Grady asked loudly.
"Umm....it's...Beef Wellington..." Sonny stated, still confused as to why Brenda gave it to her.
"Yeah, we can see that!" Tawni snapped. "But why do you have it? If any one of us should get something like that from Brenda, it should be me. I'm the one with the talent, and style, and great hair!"
"Gee...thanks Tawn. And if you must know, I came in late and all of the....ick," Sonny made a disgusted face at what was on her cast mates' plates. "...Was gone. So Brenda gave me...this," Sonny shrugged. "Actually...Things have been like this all day. I'm not really sure why..."
"Yawn." Tawni interrupted. "C'mon, let's go. This food is...disgusting, and rehearsal's out already. You guys wanna catch a movie or something?"
A chorus of 'yeah's and 'sure's were heard from Grady, Nico, and Zora as all of them got up and followed Tawni out of the commisary. Zora was the only one to notice Sonny not accompanying them.
"You coming Sonny?"
Sonny drew a breath as she thought for a moment. "Nah. I think I'm gonna stay here for a little while."
"Alright, suit yourself," Zora's voice carried over to Sonny as she walked out.
Sonny played around a bit with her meal as she ate it, watching as all of the other Condor Studios actors filed out, leaving for the day.
She grabbed her bag and shuffled out of the commisary after cleaning up the So Random! table.
