Disclaimer: I don't own So Random or Sonny with a chance.
Sonny's POV
After being used to the cold Wisconsin air, the warmth from California hit me very hard the second I stepped out of the plain. I think I actually got sunburned after just one second there. I couldn't quite say that I was dressed for this weather, I was wearing skinny jeans and a very warm, thick sweater. It sure was going to take some time getting used to this weather, even though I enjoyed every second of it.
Looking at the view I had from the plain, all of my memories from my past came back to be, both good and bad. I was fully aware that it was only going to last for a couple of days, so I tried to relax and enjoy it as much as I could, and focus only on the good things although some of the shit from my past kept sneaking up on me.
Marshall called me right before my plane was going, telling me he had fixed a security guard who was going to take me to the studio. I didn't see why, though, as I wasn't famous anymore and I knew the way as well as my own pocket. Maybe he just wanted me to feel welcome, included. He kinda failed.
It actually took me five minutes to find the guy who held up the sign that read 'Sonny Munroe, I'm looking for you!'. I sighed. Couldn't Marshall write something more, I don't know, NOT creepy? And pick a security guide who wasn't as big as a whale?
"Are you Sonny Munroe?" the building in front of me asked me, his voice as dark as thunder.
"Yes, I am indeed."
"Let me just check the picture, just in case." You see what I mean? Everyone have forgotten me. Even the big fat security guard that was going to pick me up had forgotten how I looked like. The guard confirmed that I was me, something I knew from the start, and he led me to the car to drive me.
The car ride was pretty embarrassing. You know those uncomfortable silences that makes you sweat and makes you panic to say something? Yeah, it was one of those in the car.
"So. Have you worked as a security guard for a long time?" I asked, trying to lit up the mood.
"Yes." Was all he answered. Wow. Some people are just so rude. He didn't even attempt to make me happy, he said it in a shut-up-I-don't-want-to-listen-to-you-because-you-bore-me kinda way. But Sonny Munroe isn't known for being a quitter! … except from So Random, but that doesn't count. Anyway, I thought about something else to say for a while, but when I had figured out what to ask for we were there.
"wow." was all I could say when the car stopped, and I could see the building. "It looks just like it did twenty years ago!"
"Impressive, huh?" the guard said, suddenly interested in me. For a moment there I thought he was just pretending to be though, until he yelled at me to get out of the car.
…
Inside, though, there were a lot of changes. The studio obviously made a lot more money than they did when I was young, because there were a lot of expensive furniture all over the place, and there were lots of cakes and cookies on every little table, which was quite a lot.
Something I noticed as I walked was that it was a lot of pictures on the walls. Every wall had at least three pictures, some as many as eleven, all of people whom I believed were the crew, security guards, actors and actresses, producers and the whole package.
The walls were all painted with red, blue, green or yellow painting, which made the studio a lot cozier than it used to be, giving you the impression that something big was made in there. Something different. As I was looking around in awe, I suddenly saw someone familiar.
"Oh my god, that is that girl from Meal or No Meal!" I suddenly said a little too high, making the girl turn around and smile to me, before she walked away. This place really brought the old me back. You see, I had changed in the last couple of twenty years. I wasn't always so sunny anymore, and I definitely wasn't getting starstruck anymore. I already could feel a little bit of the old me shine through my facade, but I tried to hold it in.
Starstruck...That reminds me of something... Someone.
Quickly I looked around, hoping I wouldn't get a look at a certain blonde guy. When I had agreed to come back to the show, I was certain that I wasn't going to bump into him. Now I wasn't so sure. If that girl from Meal or No Meal was here, he could be here.
How was I going to be able to look him in the eyes, knowing what I did to him? How was I supposed to look at him, remembering how he used to look at me? How was I supposed to speak to him, remembering what we said to each other a long time ago, and what was unsaid? How was I supposed to touch him, feeling his skin like I used to?
After a couple of minutes filled with panic, I realized that I was being ridiculous. The girl from Meal or No Meal being here was probably just a coincident. Why should that mean that Chad was here? And how was he even going to recognize me? People change in twenty years, both on the inside and the outside, and I was definitively one of those people.
I dropped my thoughts and went my attention to where I was going, and suddenly I froze. Have you ever experienced that you have been in one place and then suddenly you are another place without knowing how you came there?
Apparently I walk when I think, because I was in front of my old prop-house.
"Why haven't they moved someone else from another show in there?" I said aloud to myself as I realized that everything was there. All of our props, pictures, sketch-notes and even Grady's old hat that Nico used to hide from him. It was like walking into your own past.
I felt like nothing had chanced, like I had only been gone for a day instead of twenty years. I could almost picture Tawni walking in on me, complaining about her missing lipstick or something, or Zora hiding in her sarcophagus, ready to creep you out when you looked at what was inside. Speaking of which...
Quick as a tiger and quiet as a mouse, I ran to the sarcophagus to open it just for fun. I remember when I first came to So Random and opened the sarcophagus without knocking, only to be scared to death from a eleven year old girl. Laughing to myself, something I wasn't doing too often anymore, I opened the sarcophagus. All of the sudden I heard a scream.
"aaaaaaaaargh," a little girl about seven years old yelled. "Don't you knock?" It was like a flashback, only a hundred times worse. This girl was completely like Zora, the way her eyes stood out in a crazy way, the way she moved her hands by her side... everything was like Zora, only this girl was smaller.
"Sorry!" I yelled. "I didn't expect anyone to be here, let alone a 7 year old girl!" Jeez, I sounded like I was 15 again.
"I'm short for my age!" the girl whimpered, clearly offended by my description. Suddenly she screamed and ran out, just as a blonde woman walked in. She took a look at the girl, looked after her as she ran but decided to not give a fuck. .
It was something familiar with this woman, like I had known her many years ago. She had a cute face that reminded me of a teddy-bear, her hair was a golden sun and she looked like a barbie. She looked kinda like Tawni... TAWNI!
Is that really Tawni? But... She looks so grown up!
She turned to me with a question in her eyes, before she recognized me. Her eyes opened so wide that I thought they were going to fall out.
"Sonny? Is that you?" her voice sounded different too. Well, she did squeak, but it was not that. She didn't sound as selfish as she used to be, if you know what I mean, she sounded... nice? If that even was possible.
"Er, yeah. Is that really you, Tawni?" It was like we couldn't believe it no matter how much we stared at each other. But instead of answering me, she did something that surprised me.
She ran to me and hugged me.
"Sonny, you have no idea how much I have missed you! Are you even aware how lame California was without you?" her mouth just babbled and babbled like never before. When I think about it, it seemed like she had switched personality with me; she was all sunny right now, and I was the "bad girl".
"Of course you don't know it, you haven't been here for twenty years!" All the time I had tried to hold my mask, I wouldn't go back to the old me, but seeing Tawni like this made me loose my sense for a moment.
"Oh my god, I have missed you too! You have to tell me everything that has happened the last years!"
Without anyone of us had noticed, we suddenly was on the couch, holding hands like the best friends we used to be in our teens. Like nothing had changed. Like if I never left.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything," Tawni started. "For starters, you know that kid that just ran out?"
"Yeah, she scared the hell out of me! Who was that?"
"That's Emily, Zora's daughter." What? Zora has a daughter? But... Zora was always so little! How could that little girl I knew have a little girl herself?
"Get out of here!" I yelled.
"It is true! She met a guy called Brian fourteen years ago, they got married and had Emily nine years ago!"
"Wow, I have never even considered the thought of Zora as a mother!" I felt kinda bad for missing all of that. I mean, this was big. Zora is a mother for crying out loud!
"Well, besides that, what have I missed the twenty years I have been gone?"
Soon I got to know all about my former castmates; Tawni was now in a relationship with a man called Stu, and they had two children; A boy on five called Steve and a girl on two who's name was Sophia. Tawni was currently working as a bikini-model, and was listed as one of the top five hottest models of the year.
Nico is still single and has his own comedy show with Grady, which is one of the most popular shows at the moment. The show is called "My wife looks like a giraffe", and is about absolutely nothing. The show is inspired by So Random, and contains lots of guest stars.
Grady found his soul-mate right after I left California. They have been engaged for ten years, but they have no problem by waiting. They are waiting for the perfect moment, as they say. His girlfriend, Mel, is currently 7 months pregnant.
Suddenly I regret that I haven't been here the last twelve years. I now know what I have been missing. And why did I run away again? Because I thought the paparazzi was annoying. Good to know that I'm the only one who's weak enough to run away.
"Wow... A lot of things changes over twenty years, huh?" I said to Tawni without meeting her eyes. I felt like she blamed me for leaving, like I was stupid to fall for the pressure.
I wondered what had happened to Chad, but I was to scared to ask. I don't know why I was scared though, I had really no reason. I was just afraid to hear the answer I think. And as if Tawni could read my mind, she opened her mouth.
"As for Chad..." she said, and I lifted my head, eager to know how he was right now. But nothing was said about Chad, because suddenly a girl in her teens entered the room, trying to catch her breath.
"Aunty Tawni!" The girl exclaimed. "Look what I got on my essay!" Tawni got up from the couch and over to the girl, who I assumed must be her niece. As this happened, I took in the look of this girl.
Only one word was needed to describe her. Beautiful. She was one of those girls I always wished I'd looked like when I was her age. She only wore a little makeup, it wasn't like she drowned herself in it. Yet she was beautiful. I guess she just was naturally beautiful. Her hair was a river of golden blonde, and reached her to her elbows. It looked like it was made of silk, and I felt like I just had to touch it.
She looked so grown up, yet she couldn't be more than fifteen, maybe sixteen. Her cheeks were only slightly red, making her more adorable than she already was. Her eyes were the bluest eyes I had ever seen in my life, and just by looking in them you could read her personality. She was the kind of girl who loves everyone and wants everyone to be happy. As you may get, she was the perfect girl, beautiful on both the outside and on the inside.
I was almost hypnotized by her, so therefor I almost jumped up to the roof when Tawni suddenly screamed.
"AN A? Oh my goosh, I'm so proud of you!" she hugged the girl, and I noticed they were good friends.
"Do you know where my dad is?" she girl asked. "I want to show it to him. I actually wrote about him this time, so it is kinda special." She looked at her own essay once again, proud as she could be, and I could read the title; "My hero". Reminds me of something I used to do when I was at school.
"No, but I bet he's in the cafeteria." Tawni said. "But before you go, Pixie, I want to introduce you to someone."
Tawni turned the girl, who's name was apparently Pixie, to me.
"Pixie, this is Sonny Munroe. She used to be on So Random with me when we were younger." I could see Pixies eyes shut open as she recognized me. Hm. I guess Tawni has showed her some old DVD's from our show.
"Nice to meet you, Sonny! I'm such a big fan!" she said as she shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you too." I smiled.
"And Sonny... This is Pixie Louise Cooper, Chad Dylan Cooper's daughter." Tawni said to me while looking me straight in the eyes. As what she said sunk into my brain, I felt like my world was falling apart.
A/N: What do you think? Was it crappy :( aaw... I feel like it is too rushed! Is it? Anyway, I left it as a cliffhanger here to see how many people who actually care. Please review, and I'll make the new chapter faster so you can know what happens next :D
