Disclaimer: Same as before, I don't own SWAC or Trainwreck. Sadly.
Also, Slinky Flower the Lovatic, you'll just have to wait and see what I do with the songs(:
Now, back to the story!
3. Trainwreck
Chad and Sonny sat on the couch of Sonny's apartment, just catching up on what happened during their time apart from each other.
Sonny grinned to herself, surprised at her good fortune. In the past hour, Chad had called, saying that he wanted to talk. Then he showed up at her apartment with a cheese basket and his guitar. After playing one of Sonny's favorite songs, "Get Back," he had kissed her.
Ah, yes, Sonny Munroe was a hopeless romantic. She imagined what would happen when she told her friends that she and Chad were back together.
Tawni would look in a mirror to figure out how she feels.
Nico and Grady would ask if they could make a sketch about the break up.
Zora stay in her sarcophagus and not care.
Mel would want to double date with Grady-who, by the way, had asked Mel out just yesterday.
"OH MY GOSH!" Sonny yelled, looked at the clock. "Mel gets off work in three minutes! Chad, you have to go now!"
"Why? What's going on?"
"We're having a girls' night tonight."
"Without me?"
"Chad. It's a girls' night. For girls. Not you."
"So why do I have to leave now? Why not wait until she gets here?"
"Because I'm a mess right now! Look at me, Chad! I'm a trainwreck!"
Chad looked at Sonny, his Sonny, who looked beautiful without even trying. Considering she had been sobbing 30 minutes prior, Sonny looked pretty darn hot in Chad's eyes.
Sonny stood up, so Chad did the same.
"Sonny," Chad wrapped her in a hug, "you look stunning. You always look beautiful."
Sonny leaned into Chad's chest, still not believing his words.
"Chad, you have to say that. You're my boyfr-" Sonny stopped herself, scared that she had almost used the word too soon.
"Sonshine, I don't have to say that. I need to tell you because it's true," Chad whispered in her ear, making her giggle. "Sonny," Chad started. "I need to ask you something."
"Yes, Chad?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Cyad asked.
Sonny looked into his face, and brown doe eyes met blue ocean. "Chad, I'm a trainwreck. I come with baggage."
"You're a trainwreck, but with you, I'm in love," Chad breathed and closed the gap between them.
Jut then, a cow started mooing.
"What the-oh, my phone!" Sonny exclaimed. "It's Mel!"
"Well, answer it!"
"What?" Sonny cried.
"Give me the phone!" Chad directed.
Sonny reluctantly handed him the phone. Chad pressed the answer button and put it on speaker.
"Hello?" Sonny spoke up after an awkward pause.
"Hey hey, Son-nay!" Mel's peppy voice came through the speaker.
Chad smiled, glad that Sonny had a friend who was so similar.
"Guess what?" Mel continued.
"Um, you were making a strawberry banana smoothie when some ninjas held you up, but you threw the banana peel at them and they slipped, and now you're getting a key to the city for bravery?" Sonny said, always the jokester.
"OMG Yes! How did you know?" Mel replied incredulously.
"Wait, are you serious?" Sonny asked.
Mel laughed, "Of course not, silly! Actually, Grady visited me, and we're going out tomorrow night! Maybe if you can find a date, we can double date!"
Sonny looked at Chad, who was shaking his head vigorously.
"I'd love to! In fact, I already know a date!" Sonny replied, much to Chad's dismay. "See you in a few!"
"Ok, bye!" Mel squealed excitedly.
"Bye!" Sonny ended the call. "So, Chad, what are you doing tomorrow night?"
"Well, I was gonna go to this party and I needed a plus one. I was kinda hoping that you would be the one for me," Chad blushed upon realizing what he had said.
"Well, do you think we could bring Mel and Grady? Mel hasn't really been to a Hollywood party yet!" Sonny asked hopefully.
"Sonny, I don't know if-"
"Pwease, Chaddy?" Sonny pouted.
Chad sighed, "How can I say no to that? But Sonshine, make sure they behave themselves. I don't want everyone to think I've gone soft!"
Sonny frowned. "But you are soft, Chad! To me, at least."
"That's because you're my Short Stack," Chad hugged Sonny again. "But since Mel is just about here, I should go."
"Fine," Sonny sighed.
"Fine," Chad retorted.
"Good."
"Good."
"So we're good?" Sonny asked with a smile.
Chad gave her a quick peck on the lips. "We're great."
Chad grabbed his guitar and left without another word.
Sonny ran to her room to freshen up. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and almost began to cry again. Her mascara had run down her cheeks and her eye shadow had smudged, yet Chad had still called her beautiful.
"I have the best boyfriend ever, don't I?" Sonny asked her mirror-self. She fixed her make-up and brushed her hair.
Walking into the living room, Sonny spotted the cheese basket and decided to keep it in her refrigerator. From the kitchen, she heard a knock on the door.
"Sonny? You there?"
"Mel!" Sonny opened her apartment door and hugged Mel.
"Well, aren't you all sunny today!" Mel smiled, pleasantly surprised.
"Hehe, yup! Now let's go so you can tell me how Grady asked you out!" Sonny exclaimed because she hadn't talked to Mel in person in four days.
Sonny and Mel grabbed their purses and started wandering the streets of Hollywood.
Mel began to tell her story, "Well, I was just getting off work when I literally ran into Grady. I started to apologize before I realized it was him. We started walking and talking and it was totally natural. And then we went in the park and he sat me down on a bench and said wanted to go out with me. And of course I said yes!" With every word, Mel's smile grew.
"Aww, that's really sweet, Mel!" Sonny commented. As much as she wanted to tell Mel about Chad, this was Mel's moment. Selfless Sonny, as always.
The two giggled for awhile before Mel brought up the double date.
"I'm so glad that you'll double date with me and Grady! It's gonna be so much fun! So, who are you gonna bring anyway?" Mel asked Sonny.
Sonny hesitated. Besides Connie, Mel would be the first one who knew about Sonny and Chad. "Well," Sonny started, "I'm bringing Chad." Sonny waited for Mel's reaction.
"Chad? As in, your ex?"
Sonny looked at Mel and nodded.
"OH MY GOSH! Sonny! That's great! Tell me what happened!" Mel exploded.
Sonny explained how Chad had called Sonny and then came to her apartment. But, she didn't tell Mel about the song or kisses or how Chad had called her beautiful. Some things were too special to share, even with a friend as close as Mel.
But Mel understood that. She hadn't told Sonny exactly what she and Grady had been chatting about-getting Sonny and Chad back together. But now that they were once more a couple, Mel had no worries.
Even though she had only recently met Sonny, Mel felt that Sonny was like a sister. They talked on the phone a lot, texted, and hung out in each other's apartments. And Sonny was a frequent flyer to the Patio just to say hey to Mel.
Speaking of the Patio, Sonny had performed twice there since "What to Do," and she was strongly supported by her friends-even Tawni-every time. So far, she had performed an original song, "Separate Ways," and covered a Demi Lovato song, "Trainwreck." Chad hadn't tried to sneak in since the first one, but rumor was he watched So Random! weekly new episodes and the reruns.
Sonny and Mel walked around Hollywood to their favorite hang-out.
The frozen yogurt/music store, Moos and Moosic. Unbeknownst to Sonny, Tawni and Zora were having a girls' night there, too.
Zora spotted them right away. She whispered, "Tawni! Look!"
Not realizing Zora was being quiet, Tawni said loudly, "What? Wher-OH! HEY, SO-"
Zora clamped her hand over Tawni's mouth, trying to hear what Mel and Sonny were talking about.
"...double date...party...Chad..." Zora heard Sonny say. Sonny saw Zora and Tawni and waved, "Hey girls! What's the dilly?"
"Oh, you know, just getting yogurt and music!" Tawni squealed.
"What are you two up to?" Zora questioned.
"We're just hanging out, a G-N-O," Sonny replied.
Zora scanned Sonny's and Mel's body language. They seemed a bit too...happy. "What are you all smiley about?" Zora asked.
Sonny and Mel looked at each other, wondering if this was the right time to tell Zora and Tawni about Grady and Chad.
Sonny decided it was. "Well, Chad and I got back together!" Sonny grinned.
"Really?" Tawni whipped out a mirror. Typical.
"That's cool, Sonny. But it doesn't explain why Mel here is so happy," Zora wondered out loud.
"Oh...well, I have a double date with Sonny and Chad tomorrow."
Zora and Tawni looked at Sonny and then at each other. It was very clear that Grady was falling for Mel and planned to ask her out. "Um...with whom?" Tawni spoke for Zora and herself.
Mel hesitated, a wide smile from ear to ear, and then replied, "Grady!"
All four girls squealed, happy for their friends.
Sonny and Mel waited for Tawni and Zora to ask for the stories, but Tawni didn't care and Zora was too young.
After a few moments of awkward silence, Sonny and Mel finished what they needed to do at the shop and left.
"So...I'm actually going to a Hollywood party? Like, for A-Listers?" Mel asked Sonny once they were back on the street.
"Well, yeah. But you have to play it cool while we're there. Otherwise, Chad won't want to double date with you two again," Sonny explained.
"Oh, I totally get that. Don't worry, I'll be cool. No promises for Grady, though. I'll talk to him about it."
"Well, considering how smitten he is with you, you could get him to jump into Lake Michigan in January," Sonny laughed.
Sonny and Mel continued chatting until they reached Sonny's apartment and said their good-byes.
"So I'll text you tomorrow with the details. I'm so excited! This is gonna be so fun!" Sonny smiled.
"Ok! See ya!" Mel left.
Sonny walked into her bathroom, looked in the mirror, and smiled. She was sincerely excited for the party tomorrow. And she had her Chad back. Needless to say, she fell asleep smiling.
So I hoped you liked this chapter!
Quick question: Should Grady and Mel be Mady or Gel?
