Disclaimer: I own nothing! I think I've forgotten that in the first two chapters, haha

A/N: Wow, I'm just cranking out these chapters, aren't I? I think it's because I have such great reviewers. All ready I've gotten 20 reviews! That's more than I ever expected, you guys really rock! So this chapter is more of a filler than anything else, really, but don't worry, I think you'll like where it leads to next chapter :)

Chapter 3

When Sonny got to shore, she joined her cast mates in their sandcastle building.

"Where's Chad?" Tawni asked, raising an eyebrow at the brunette.

"Did he drown?" Grady asked excitedly

"No, he-" Sonny began.

"Was attacked by a shark?" Nico finished hopefully.

"Swept out to sea by a mermaid?" Grady offered.

Tawni, Nico, and Sonny looked at Grady curiously.

"No. To all of the above," Sonny informed them. "I felt like coming in. Chad's a big boy, I think he can handle swimming by himself."

As the Randoms got to work on their sandcastle, a few more members of The Falls trickled out to the shore, some of them going out to swim with Chad, others just laying down on towels or chairs they hand brought.

As soon as a group of Mackenzie Falls folk had gone into the water, one of them returned; a boy with startling green eyes and dark brown hair.

"Cooper wants to get a game of Chicken going," he explained, walking over to the rest of his cast. Some of them appeared to wave it off, others enthusiastically agreed and began walking towards the water. The boy who had been the messenger threw a disgusted look at the Randoms as he cautiously approached, as if they were dangerous. "He said to see if The Randoms-" he spat- "wanted to join as well."

Sonny excitedly turned to her friends; she loved Chicken!

"Uh-uh."

"No way."

"Absolutely not."

"Come on guys, please?" Sonny begged. "At least one of you!"

"No way. Not after that thing bit me!" Nico protested. Sonny shifted her eyes to Grady.

The blonde boy sighed. "Fine," he acquiesced, standing up from his spot in the sand. He ran after Sonny, who was skipping into the water, the Mackenzie Falls boy having already left.

.::.

"Okay, round one: Me and Katrina versus Ernie and Jessica," Chad declared. "Winner keeps going."

Sonny watched as Katrina clung to Chad like a dryer sheet. She giggled as Chad rose out of the water with her on his shoulders, and Sonny couldn't help but feel a surge of annoyance.

Jessica and Katrina locked hands and began trying to knock one another off. The endeavor didn't last long when Jessica, thinking she had broken a nail, pulled away and lost her balance.

"Well that was easy," Chad said nonchalantly. "Next up: Reggie and Amy!"

"My name's Annette," a short-haired brunette girl corrected, offended as she got on Reggie's shoulders.

"Whatever," Chad scoffed.

The girls locked hands, and began to push and pull at each other. Annette put up quite a fight, but ultimately lost when Katrina yanked on the girl's right arm, causing her to fling into the water.

"Oops, hope I didn't hurt you too bad," Katrina fake apologized in a baby voice.

"Alright, alright, C.D.C. victorious once again," Chad smirked over at Sonny and Grady, who were watching with arms crossed.

"Next up: The Randoms."

Snickers were heard through the Mackenzie Falls cast and Grady and Sonny swam to where they were opposite Chad and Katrina. Sonny positioned herself on Grady's shoulders and prepared her arms in front of her.

"Taylor and Max, you might want to get ready, this shouldn't take long," Katrina advised as her and Chad approached Grady and Sonny.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Sonny asked, her eyes narrowing at this girl who was now grabbing her hands.

"Just that you're so weak and out of shape that this will take, like, a second," Katrina stated, like it was an obvious fact.

"Weak? Out of shape? Just because I don't starve myself and actually have a little meat on my bones-"

"A little too much meat, if you ask me," Katrina replied in a sickly sweet voice.

Both Grady and Chad's jaws dropped at what Katrina was implying. They locked eyes with each other, for once sharing the same thought. Sonny is not fat!

Sonny was shocked for a millisecond after Katrina's comment, in which the green-eyed girl tried to take advantage of this fact and push Sonny into the water, only to be surprised.

Sonny fought back with force as her elbows bent and straightened, trying to push the girl off Chad's shoulders. How dare she imply Sonny was fat? She was perfectly average, it was girls like Katrina who had problems with their weight, not girls like Sonny.

At least, that's what she had been told. She was a teenage girl, so of course she sometimes felt insecure about her weight. Sometimes she was jealous of the perfectly flat or toned stomach of some of the girls she'd seen in the magazines, or on Chad's shoulders. Sometimes she thought of what she'd be willing to do to look that way. But not as of late. Sonny hadn't had those thoughts in a few months. And she sure as hell didn't need them coming back because of this bitch.

After a few moments of fighting, Sonny began to feel Katrina's resolve falter as she began to lose balance. Sonny decided to give her the extra shove she needed, only to be grabbed by the girl and pulled in as well.

Right on top of Chad.

When she surfaced up against him, she could feel herself blush at the contact of their bodies in such close proximity.

"Ugh, stupid slut," Katrina muttered, audible for those close around her, including Sonny, Grady, and Chad, to hear. "You made me get my hair wet."

"Um, well, we are kind of in the ocean, if you haven't noticed," Sonny replied vehemently, trying her best to imitate the girl. "And I don't really feel like you have room to be calling anyone names around here," Sonny huffed.

Katrina opened her mouth to spit fire back at Sonny, but Chad decided then to intervene.

"Girls, girls, let's stop the fighting. Or if not, let's continue it over something worth arguing about, like, say... me?" He smiled off into the distance before glancing over at Katrina and then at Sonny, the latter rolled her eyes.

"Oh please, Chad, why would anybody argue over you?"

Chad let out an obviously fake laugh before raising his eyebrows at Sonny. "Oh come on Sonny, when are you just going to admit it? We both know that you want me."
