"Oh, Chad," Tawni sighed as she looked into a full length mirror while holding a cutout of Chad. That's more like oh, bleh.

"Tawni, why don't you go ask him on a date? Why do I have to go through the pain [Tawni turned around and glared furiously at me], I mean pleasure of going out with him? I don't even like him," I said as I got ready for the party. This was going to be a long night.

"He would NEVER think that I'd be interested him in. I mean, he's Chad Dylan Cooper! I've known him since…since…"

"I know, I know…since you had your first 'reel kiss' with him," I rolled my eyes.

"He's been my only 'reel kiss', Sonny," Tawni finally said as she sat down on the chair near her vanity.

"Really? So you've never really kissed anyone else?" I asked, actually feeling some sympathy to her. I remember my first kiss…

"So, that's why you've got to make sure you win the bet, okay? Don't fall for him!" she got up and grabbed hold of my arms, "Promise me!"

"I promise!" I said as she kept on shaking me.

"Nico's coming!" Zora yelled from the vents as Tawni went back to her vanity to put on some Coco-Mocho-Coco while I got ready once again for the party.

"Hey, ladies," Nico grinned as he went into the room with a box of pizza, "Grady's visiting his momma today and I have tickets to see that new movie that just came out."

"Which one?" I asked.

"The one that has the really long name that no one knows how to pronounce," he explained, "And why are you dressed all fancy? Goin' somewhere?"

"Yeah, a friend invited me to a party and I said I would go," I smirked, "Hey, Tawni! Why don't you go with Nico to the movies?" "Um, because he's Nico," Tawni pouted.

"Come on," Nico pleaded, "I'll buy you dinner too. Also, I know how much you love shopping, so I'll let you buy almost anything as long as it's not the rights to create 'Tawnitown'."

"That's really generous of you, Nico," I said as I pulled him to the side, "How will you get the money? She's gonna buy the whole mall."

"My dad is a music producer and former rap legend. I got some cash to burn, so chillax," Nico assured me.

"Well, all I can say then is 'have fun and be home by ten'," I winked as I left the room to go to the party.

Later…

I went to the lobby near the Falls to wait for Chad, but as soon as I got there, he was already waiting for me with a sunflower in his hand.

"Wow," was all he could say as he gazed at my maroon colored satin dress. It wasn't like one of those Chanel or Versace things that other stars wore, but it was simple and classy enough for my taste.

"Thanks," I said, almost feeling myself blush.

"This is for you," Chad handed me the flower.

"Hah, very funny," I teased, "You should have gone to comedy."

"Well, I was going to buy you a dozen roses, but then I remembered that you said sunflowers were your favorite," Chad shrugged.

I was taken aback. Chad remembered my favorite flower and yet he can't remember my cast mates names…tsk tsk.

"It's beautiful," I grinned, "I'll just go back to my dressing room and drop it off there."

"No, it's okay. I'll bring one of my guys to bring it to your room along with your other present," Chad winked.

"Chad…you shouldn't have," I felt bad that he would do so much…

"Consider it a friendship present to start our new relationship," he winked.

"Right, sure," I laughed, "Thanks again."

"No problem. I have a feeling tonight will be a very Sonny evening for me," Chad said as he offered his arm. Ugh, the puns…

"I lied, stick to drama," I said as I took his arm and we headed off into the night.
