Hey y'all! Here is chapter 3 of Fake Dates. This is basically just finishing up thoughts about the date. Very small amounts of Channy fluff in this chapter, but there is some. It's more a filler for right now. The title of the chapter may not seem like it goes, but I have my reasons for naming it that way. Hope y'all enjoy!
Disclaimer: Once again, I do not have any association with Sonny With a Chance.
Disagreements
When Sonny entered the prop house the next morning, Tawni was befuddled as she heard an unmistakable sound coming from Sonny. A soft 'hum' barley escaped the lips of the brunette and Tawni could have sworn she saw Sonny skip to the couch.
Tawni stared at the girl seated next to her, remembering very few times where Sonny had acted this way. Tawni felt like Botox had been injected into her skin; her expression of confusion seemed glued in place.
"Hi Tawni," Sonny sighed, smiling.
After a minute of torture, Tawni finally decided she needed to figure out what was making Sonny act so strange. "Alright, Sonny. Spill." Tawni demanded, knocking Sonny out of her trance.
"Spill what?" Sonny asked, genuinely confused at Tawni's statement.
"Oh please." Tawni exclaimed, standing up and flipping her hair. "You're humming, you're skipping, and you're sighing with a smile. There is only one thing that will make a girl do that." Tawni turned to Sonny, almost yelling, "You have a date!"
"Pfft. What?" Sonny answered as she stood up and turned away from Tawni. "I don't have a date. W-why would you think that?" Tawni recognized the octave Sonny's voice had shot to and stepped closer.
"Please don't try to hide it from me. I know you, and you have a date." Tawni smiled with satisfaction. "Now, who is it?"
Sonny rubbed the back of neck, realizing her defeat. She thought about the reaction Tawni would have to the betrayal. Turning to her blonde co-star, Sonny opened her mouth with the full intention of admitting to the date, when she heard two idiotic teenage boys enter the prop house.
"…then she told me I wasn't mature enough and left." Nico explained to his best friend.
"Some people are so rude." Grady proclaimed, taking a seat on the couch.
"Morning guys!" Sonny shouted pleasantly.
"Oh hey Sonny." Grady responded, smiling. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing." Tawni answered energetically. "Sonny and I were just having an…interesting conversation." She smirked.
"Please. It wasn't that interesting." Sonny insisted urgently.
"Whatever." Nico plopped down on the couch, relaxing into the cushions.
The sound of a door hitting another structure startled the four teenagers. They turned to see a small, but mighty, twelve year old step out of an open sarcophagus. "Sonny's got a date," Zora explained, "and you'll never guess who it's with." Zora coupled the accusation with a glare that bored into Sonny's eyes. Her lips began to move silently, and the only coherent word Sonny could make out was "traitor."
'Of course she knows,' Sonny thought, unsuccessfully hiding her defeated expression from the nosy pre-teen. Tawni smirked even more as she placed her hand on her hip.
"So," Tawni persisted, "who's the guy?" She frowned at the mumbled response she received. "I'm sorry, who?"
"Chad." Sonny whispered, hoping Tawni did not hear, although, judging by the way Tawni gasped while clutching her chest, she knew exactly what Sonny had said.
"No!" She screamed in disbelief. "You're lying."
"She's not!" Zora confirmed assertively. "Sonny has a date with Chad Dylan Cooper."
To say that the So Random! cast was surprised was an understatement. The news stunned the comedians into a state of speechlessness. Never in a million years would they expect this from the two rivals. They knew how much Chad annoyed Sonny. She had to be making this up; she just had to.
"How could you?" Grady asked as a horror stricken face overtook his usually happy attitude.
"I don't know," Sonny explained, defending her questionable loyalty. "One minute I was standing there, questioning his offer, and the next, I had a date with Chad."
"How could you betray us like that, Sonny?" Nico added. "Of all the people, you pick Chad? He's horrible."
"He's not that horrible." Sonny exclaimed, frowning at the disapproval from her friends.
"Yeah he is," Tawni informed her seemingly mislead cast mate. "He's our arch rival, Sonny. He's snobby and spoiled."
"Maybe that's just a cover-up." Sonny suggested.
"Doubt it. He isn't that good of an actor," Zora insisted, gaining a laugh from all but one of the So Random! team.
"Look, if it means that much to you, I'll see if I can cancel the date." Sonny offered, oddly hoping that her friends would reject the suggestion.
"Perfect," Tawni said, smiling and exiting the prop house, content with her actions. Sonny, on the other hand, frowned at the disapproval from her friends. They should have been happy for her, excited that she had a date. Instead, they questioned her judgments and forced her to comply with their expectations. Sonny knew how they felt about Chad, but she expected more from them.
Still, Sonny knew that cancelling the date was the best thing to do in order to avoid any more disagreements. She lifted her head up and stalked out of the prop house, heading straight for set of MacKenzie Falls.
"Hey, have you seen Chad?" Sonny asked a stagehand on the set of the rival show. The stagehand shook her head and walked away, leaving Sonny discouraged. "Where could he be?"
"Where could who be?" A confused voice asked from behind the brunette. Sonny jumped and turned to see Chad standing behind her.
"Oh! Uhh…no one." Sonny lied, half-smiling. Chad shook his head.
"Whatever Munroe." Chad brushed off he odd behavior, and then smirked as a thought entered his mind. "So, you ready for tonight?"
"Oh, yeah. About that, I need to talk to you." Sonny confessed.
"Don't worry. I've planned everything." Chad smiled. "I'll pick you up at seven and not a minute later." Chad's pride radiated from him. His boasting smile showcased his pearly white teeth. Chad winked his eye and clicked his tongue, saying, "See ya later."
Sonny opened her mouth to protest, but Chad was already out of sight. 'Well, there's no going back now.' Sonny thought, making her way back to the So Random! set. Without noticing, her lips curled into a small smile at the thought of going on a date with Chad. "Wait," she paused, "what am I going to wear?"
So, what do y'all think? Again, more of a filler. The next chapter is where the story takes off. I know this seems like a story that's been done a hundred times, but I had the idea and I'm putting my own twist on it. Review please! :)
