A/N: Chapter three is up! This one was a lot of fun to write. I loved adding in the little scenes with Sonny and Chad, especially the one at the end! Thanks for the positive feedback so far! You guys are awesome! I'm trying not to disappoint. :) Enjoy Chapter Three! I'll try to have Chapter Four up soon! I also realize that on the second chapter, I said that the name of the episode it took place during was Sonny at the Falls. That is wrong! The episode is West Coast Story, this one takes place during Sonny at the Falls. I'm new to this, so I'm not quite sure how to change it. Sorry about that! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonny with the chance, any of the characters and ideas affiliated with the series, any of the lines used in the actual show, or Zac Efron.
Chapter Three (Sonny at the Falls):
It had been a week since my last encounter with the new Random. I had seen her on set and in the cafeteria, but we hadn't talked since the day she tricked me during musical chairs. As much as I tried, it was hard to keep her off of my mind. There was something so intriguing about her. I had been in this business since I was three, and I had never met someone like her in it. She was unique. I mean, I know I shouldn't be saying that about a Random, especially one I barely knew. The thing was, So Random had been better than usual this week. Okay, you caught me, I watch it, but it's only to keep an eye on the competition. Anyways, this week I had actually laughed while watching, and every time I laughed, it was at something she said or did. This scared me. Mackenzie Falls had never been anything but number one, and I couldn't let So Random jeopardize this. I watched Sonny and the two boys walk in, and I realized that maybe it was time I talked to her again. Not that I wanted to or anything, it just seemed like the right time.
"Chad," Sonny acknowledged my presence.
"Sonny," I did the same to her. "Cloudy, Rainy." I nodded at the two boys from the cast.
"We have names," said Cloudy. Please, like I cared.
"Yeah, but remembering them would take effort and interest and excuse me..." My voice trailed off as I walked to the lunch line.
"You can't just cut in front of us like that!" Sonny yelled. Wow, annoying her got more fun every time I did it.
"Yeah, well they also said I couldn't be this handsome, and yet..." I pointed to my flawless face. "So what's for lunch Brenda?" She handed me a steak and complimented my show, just like she always did. The Randoms were just staring in shock as I walked back to my cast.
As soon as I sat down I stood up and prepared a toast, just like I always do. "All hail Mackenzie Falls!" I announced. "To me, Chad Dylan Cooper." Of course I had to hail myself. Where would the show be without me?
"Huzzah!" my cast cried. That was exactly what I liked to hear. Maybe it was just a change in the atmosphere of the studio with a new girl, but soon things would go back to normal.
"To me, so I can order a pizza!" Sonny cried as she stood up with her phone in her hand. I ask again, who does this girl think she is? No one one ups Chad Dylan Cooper. My cast all started talking, but I was just watching the Randoms intently.
I listened in on their conversation. Sonny was proposing an idea for a sketch. It was something about lame superheroes, and the other Randoms did not like it. They said that it was stupid, and then they walked away from her.
"Hey look at that," I said to my cast. "There's trouble over in Chuckle City. That's good for us."
"It is?" Portlyn asked as her steak was falling out of her mouth. Gosh, it was really time for this girl to go. First, how stupid can she be? Of course it is. And second, at Mackenzie Falls we don't talk with our mouth full.
"Of course it is," I said. My cast was a bunch of idiots. Did I really need to explain everything to them? "Ever since Sonny joined the cast, they've gotten so much more popular." I know why, but I'm not going to tell them that she's good. That would be admitting that I watch the show. "We need to drive a wedge between her and the others. If we don't act soon, they might become... Dare I say it... More popular than us!" My cast just gasped. "I had to say it," I told them. "I dared myself." Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't turn down dares. I knew what I had to do, and with that I walked over to Sonny.
"So," I said to her. "Pooperang? Really?" I used one of the words I heard her saying to her cast.
"Yes Chad, really," she said sarcastically. I could tell she didn't want to be bothered, but that had never stopped me before.
"I thought it was funny," I lied. "I almost choked on my Banana's Foster."
"Well I'm glad somebody laughed," she joked. "Wait we have Banana's Foster?"
"They do, you don't," said Brenda as she walked through the cafeteria.
Time to turn on the CDC charm. "You know Sonny, it didn't seem like your friends were very supportive. It was almost like they were dissing you."
"No," she waved her hand dismissively. "Them mocking me and making fun of my idea was just their way of..," she searched for the right words. "Mocking me and making fun of my idea."
"You do things differently over at So Random," I said to her. "At the Falls, when one of us cries, we all cry. I just assumed that when one of you laughs, you all laugh." She looked so sad, secretly, I found it adorable.
"Yeah, I mean, I guess that they could have been a little more supportive." She looked defeated.
"Sounds like somebody needs a shoulder to laugh on," I said charmingly. What can I say? I'm Chad Dylan Cooper, being charming is my specialty.
"Are you offering me your shoulder?" Was she flirting with me? No Random is allowed to flirt with Chad Dylan Cooper. Secretly, I wanted her to continue, but I couldn't even admit it to myself.
"I'm offering you all of our shoulders" I said as I motioned to my cast. They all stuck out their shoulders. I loved being in control.
"Um, they are nice shoulders." I almost had her.
"Look, I know we have this stupid rivalry between our two shows, but it doesn't have to be way, right?" Yes! It was working!
"Well... I guess," she said reluctantly.
"What are you doing right now?" I asked. Wait, what was I doing? I was just trying to make her angry at her friends, not invite her over! Something had just compelled me to do it. "Come hang out at The Falls. Mackenzie Falls. A quaint little town nestled at the corner of life and dreams." Our heads were touching, and I felt a spark. The same spark I had felt when she had grabbed my hand during musical chairs. I chose to ignore it. I couldn't be feeling this. I just couldn't be.
"So, stage 2?" she asked.
"Yeah, stage 2." I replied and walked back to my cast.
"Why the hell did you invite her to our stage?" asked Marta.
"I... I don't know, okay!" I looked defeated. "I just thought it would be easier to make her angry if she was getting a quality massage." My cast all nodded their heads in agreement. See, they are all idiots.
Sonny and I walked down the hall to the Mackenzie Falls set. I'll admit, it was kind of nice to be alone with her. She smelled really good. Not that I smelled her or anything, pshhh.
"Thanks for doing this Chad," she said. "It's surprisingly sweet of you."
"Well, what can I say? I can be sweet when I want to be," I told her.
She giggled. "Yeah, sweet and conceited." I rolled my eyes.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" she questioned.
"Did you just question me?" I retorted back.
"I believe I did," she said.
"Fine," I replied.
"Fine," she snapped back. Dang, this girl didn't give up.
"Good."
"Good."
"Oh good, we're here," I exclaimed as we reached the stage door. Sonny gaped in astonishment as I opened it.
"Wow, you guys have this everyday!" she exclaimed as she was handed a Loganberry smoothie.
"What the Loganberry smoothie?" How did she not know what a Loganberry was? "Oh, no, the Loganberry is only ripe for one fortnight a year." She looked puzzled. "To the Loganberry!" I threw my smoothie in the air.
"Huzzah!" yelled the rest of my cast.
"The number one show gets the number one perks," I said to Sonny. Shouldn't she know this by now? "Everyone, you all remember Sonny." I motioned to my castmates.
"Huzzah!" they yelled. Again, not the brightest bulbs in the box.
"And you know what feels great after being dissed by your friends? The magic fingers of Yoku. I motioned to our masseuse.
"Well, I can't say Noku to Yoku," she giggled. Okay that was pretty lame, but I motioned for my cast to laugh anyways.
"Ahhh," she said as Yoku worked her magic touch. "Now I know what it feels like to be a cell phone on viiiiibrate." That one was a little better, but I still had to motion for my cast to laugh. I intently watched over her as she finished her massage and went to get her nails painted. She was so cheery about everything. It was sickening, but cute at the same time. Stupid cute.
"I can't decide wether I want a daisy or a rose on my big toe," she said to the girl painting her nails. Of course she would pick two flowers that perfectly showcased her personality. "Oh! Can I get a daisy and can you make it smell like a rose?"
"Hey, you enjoying yourself?" I asked her.
"Oh yeah," she replies. Good, I thought. "Smell my big toe!" She stuck out her foot that was already painted.
"Yeah, I'm good, thanks." There was no way in hell I was going to smell a foot. Especially a Random's foot.
"Looks like we have some unwanted visitors," Portlyn said to me. I turned to see the four other members of So Random. Wow, this was going better than I expected. I had to applaude them. Perfect timing.
"Excuse me," I said to Sonny. I saw her run to the massage bed and push Chastity off. I knew very well that she was trying to hide from her cast.
"I'd like to have a word with you," Blondie said to me.
"Is that word goodbye?" asked Portlyn. Um, who did she thing she was? Answering my questions for me. No one answers Chad Dylan Cooper's questions except for Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Well, if I was talking to you," Blondie said to Portlyn. "The word would be moisturize or exfoliate!" No matter how much I hated Blondie, she had a point. She pulled me over, and from the corner of my eye I saw the two boys playing in MY chocolate fountain. What a disgrace.
"Sonny?" I heard the little girl yell.
"Sonny?" the two boys replied.
"Sonny?" Blondie turned around from where we were having our conversation, and I followed her.
"Sonny?!" the brunette popped up from under a blanket. "What am I doing here?"
"You're coming with us!" the little girl yelled. She pulled Sonny away, and the rest of the cast followed.
"Well, that went well!" I exclaimed.
"They might be mad at her," Ferguson said. "But I'm pretty sure that you invited her over here for another reason." I dropped my jaw. My stupid cast caught on. Wait, but there was nothing to catch on to. Was there?
"No way, guys," I lied. "You're being ridiculous." Just as I said that Sonny stormed in.
"Give me a uniform," she said angrily.
I nodded, and my cast looked stunned. Chad Dylan Cooper is always right.
The next day, Sonny was in her uniform and sitting with us at lunch. She looked cute in her uniform. Wait, what am I saying? Stupid cute.
"Ahhh! I'm drowning in butter, help me!" Sonny cried as she played with her lobster. She started giggling, but no one else was.
"I don't get it," said Portlyn. She was so dumb. I really need to talk to Timothy about kicking her off the show.
"Well, I'm pretending to be a lobster that's drowning in butter. That's why I'm using the funny voice." Wow, Portlyn, even I knew that.
"Lobsters don't talk," said a smug Portlyn.
"No, but a lobster would understand this joke," said an annoyed Sonny. Finally, someone who understood all of my annoyances with Portlyn. Just as their conversation ended, Sonny's cast walked in, laughing.
"Hahahahahaha! Oh my gosh!" she yelled across the table. "You're so funny!" They all eventually started a laughing fight from across the cafeteria.
"All right! It's time for meditation!" I announced. We all stood up, and I pulled Sonny's chair out for her. What am I doing? Her cast gasped when they saw her uniform. She stayed at the door for a little longer than the rest of us and continued the laughing fight. I motioned her to come on, and she walked away with a scowl on her face.
We finally got to the meditation room. "Thanks again for taking me in Chad," she said. "I was so bummed earlier when..."
"Shhhh," I cut her off. "This is the Mackenzie Falls meditation room," I whispered. "You've gotta keep your voice down to keep the vibe up." I gave her a thumbs up sign.
"Sorry, I'm new..." Duh, Sonny, duh.
"Shhhh," we all cut her off again.
"You know what?" she asked. "My vibe is a little dry, so I'm just gonna go get some ice water." She walked straight into the meditation gong. "Dinner's ready!" she said as she banged the gong again. "We're now serving hush puppies, so hush." No one was laughing but her.
I walked over and handed her a mat, maybe now she'd be quiet. No one interrupts Chad Dylan Cooper's meditation time.
"Yeah, I get it," she said with a defeated smile. "Vibe up, Sonny down." I looked over at my phone to see a text from Reggie, our security guard. Great, now I have to deal with more stuff before I can meditate. I walked outside to see Reggie dangling the little Random from her arms.
"Hey Reggie," I acknowledged my favorite security guard. "What do you want?" I said to the little girl.
"I need to speak to Sonny, and the big palooka here won't let me through!" she yelled.
"Well, he's doing is job. Big guy is paid to palook." I tapped him on the shoulder and he dropped the girl down.
"Two more seconds, and you would have been saying hello to lefty!" She raised her fist in the air.
"Look, after you barged onto our stage earlier I had to get Reggie here to put your pictures up on the do not admit wall!" I motioned to the wall with the pictures of all the people I never wanted to set foot on the Mackenzie Falls set.
"Why is Zac Efron up there?" she asked me.
"Cause it's my wall, and I like saying I banned Zac Efron." Shouldn't she know this? The feud between Zac and I is almost as big as the feud between Mackenzie Falls and So Random. "There will come a day when Zac Efron comes knocking on that door, and he will be like 'Hey! Can I come in?' I'll be like 'No, you're banned.'"
"Well! We want Sonny back!" exclaimed the little girl.
"Well, she can't see you now." I told her. "She's tied up, for good. She's one of us now." I had a feeling I sounded a little too happy while saying that. Suddenly, I heard a crash from the set.
"Sorry!" Sonny's voice called. I just rolled my eyes and walked back onto the set. Sonny was on the floor, holding onto her head.
"Are you okay?" Did I sound too worried?
"Yeah, I'm fine!" she said.
"You don't look fine. Should we call a doctor?" I asked her. My concern was showing, but I didn't really care.
"Chad, remember last time you said I should see a doctor," she replied.
"Point taken," I said. "Here let me help you up." She grabbed my hand and I pulled her onto her feet.
"Thanks," she said with a small smile.
"No problem," I smiled back.
"Chad, Portlyn! We need you for a scene!" yelled Timothy. Great, I didn't even get to meditate. Portlyn and I walked on set, and Sonny followed us. Portlyn and I took our places.
"Action!" yelled Timothy.
"I know I've taken you from your world," I said dramatically. I was such a good actor! "I know I've taken you from your friends and everything you've every loved." I stole a glance at Sonny. She looked slightly annoyed. "But trust me, you'll be happier here. You trust me, don't you?" I looked at Portlyn.
"No, I'm not sure I do," said Sonny.
"Of course you trust me," I motioned to Portlyn. Wait Sonny? "Wait, wait, wait, who is talking while I'm acting?" Nobody talks while Chad Dylan Cooper acts. Sonny just rolled her eyes and looked around.
"Sonny!" I turned around to see Sonny's cast barging onto my set, again. They were all dressed like the lame superheroes she had described.
"What are you doing here?" She looked shocked and please. "Oh my gosh, you're the lame superheroes!"
"We are now called Loser Fource Four!" said Cloudy. They were ruining my plans.
"Aww! You gave us a name," said Sonny.
"You gave us a reason to give us a name," replied Rainy. Everyone just looked at him with a weird expression. "We're at The Falls, I'm feeling dramatic."
"You missed me," she looked so happy.
"I experienced caring," said Blondie. "It was horrible!" Hmm, maybe she was worse than me.
"We are here to apologize to you and ask you to come back!" exclaimed Rainy.
"What if she doesn't want to come back to you losers?" asked Portlyn. There she goes again, talking without a script.
"Correction!" yelled Cloudy. "Loser Force Four!"
"Wow, I've never seen a group of losers so proud to call themselves losers," I said obnoxiously. What? It was the truth.
"Well you know what?" said Sonny. "I'm proudly calling myself a loser too. So I guess that makes us Loser Force Five!" They all repeated her.
"Wait," I said. "You guys are making up?" My plan was failing? Impossible.
"Yes we are." Sonny smiled.
"But, that ruins Chad's plan!" exclaimed Portlyn.
"What plan?" questioned Sonny.
"I don't have a plan," I defended myself. Okay, maybe I did, just not the one Portlyn thought it was.
"Sure you do!" she exclaimed. "Keep you guys fighting with each other, so Mackenzie Falls can stay number one." She stuck her tongue out at them.
"Don't talk without a script!" I yelled at her.
"So you were just pretending to be my friend?" asked Sonny.
"Yeah, I saw an opportunity and I knocked it," I said to her.
"Well guess what? I'm knocking back, and I'm sticking with my real friends."
"Yeah, we have a code." The little one pulled a scroll out.
"Yeah, well we have a chocolate fountain, so what do you think about that?" I asked them.
"You know what I think about that?" Sonny moved closer to me. Our noses were almost touching. "I'll tell you what I think about that. Take what you can and run!" Sonny yelled at her friends. I just stared as they ran. Did this really just happen to me? What a day.
The next day I saw Sonny alone in the cafeteria, so I went up to her. "Sorry about that whole thing," I said.
"Well, my friends aren't mad anymore, so you're not going to steal me today," she joked.
"I know, but I really am sorry," I genuinely meant it too. "I know I seem like a bad guy most of the time, but that doesn't mean I always am."
"No, I think you are," she told me. Harsh.
"Whatever," I scoffed. She was ridiculous.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat lunch with my real friends," she said.
"Fine," I replied.
"Fine."
"Good."
"Good."
"So we're good?"
"Oh, we're so good." With that, I watched Sonny Munroe walk away.
She was something, that's for sure.
What do you guys think? Read, review, and enjoy! :)
