A/N: Thank you guys for the support, I hope you guys like this chapter :)
General POV:
Sonny slammed the front door hard; very very hard behind her as she slumped to the ground, exhausted after her first day at So Random!.
She still couldn't get over the stupid fact that she'd been stupid enough to not lock the door before changing. She wanted to bang her head into a wall, but she didn't want to deal with the bruises that would be sure to follow. So instead, she resolved to slamming the door as hard as she could, and that was pretty hard.
"Sonny dear! Is that you? How many times have I told you to not slam the door!," Connie called out from the kitchen.
Sonny grumbled to herself about something along the lines of typical mothers and bad timings.
She trudged to the kitchen in a manner not much different from a zombie's, and had she not had such a strong passion for comedy, she would have taken up the role of a zombie in an upcoming film or Tv serial. No doubt that the role would have been handed over to her in the blink of an eye.
"How was it?," Connie questioned excitedly.
Sonny shrugged in response, and Connie sighed. Well, it's not like she expected anything much different from her daughter anyway. She sometimes worried about her. This girl lacked delicacy as a young seventeen year old, and she wasn't vain like other girls her age; neither was she demure. Connie always pushed her into wearing cuter, girly and more brighter clothes, but no. Sonny preferred to stay in her dark badass ones. Not that they weren't nice, but once; just once, Connie wished Sonny would dress in the pretty dresses and skirts she bought for her, like she did as a child. But that little girl with a love for pink tutu's and a bright smile on her face 24/7 had gone missing twelve years ago, and was never found.
At least Sonny looked presentable for the outside world. Connie saw the way the male species gawked at her daughter, but at home she never found Sonny in anything except her large, oversized T-shirts and sneakers.
Sonny studied the large amount of food Connie was preparing. A quantity definitely not made to serve two. More like.. four or five.
"Mom, what's all the food for? Are we having guests over or something?," Sonny asked, piling her hair up into a bun, her bangs framing her face gracefully.
Connie hesitantly nodded, not looking at her daughter.
Sonny narrowed her eyes. Her mother couldn't possibly have already made friends here... who was coming?
"Oh, who's coming?," Sonny asked.
"Important guests. Sonny darling, look at the time, it's already half past five. Please, go get ready. And for heaven's sake, please wear what I've picked out. Its on your bed. And do your hair, put makeup, just look... pretty. Please?"
Sonny pondered for a moment. Who were these important people coming anyway?
She sighed.
"Fine. I'll get... dressed up. But just this once okay?"
Connie gratefully sighed, nodding with a smile.
"Thank you, now go. You only have an hour."
Sonny nodded as she left the kitchen, and Connie watched her go with a small smile.
Poor child, I'm sure she'll be surprised when she comes back.
Sonny carefully dabbed away the water on her body with her towel, wrapping it around her when she was done.
She then studied the outfit her mother had picked out for her to wear.
It was definitely pretty, she couldn't deny that. Her mother had good taste. She would know, since half her closet was full of unused dresses, skirts, heels, accessories and other things her mother had picked out in the course of two years, that Sonny had never worn once. She just didn't like to.
Sonny carefully picked up the dress. It was a unique shade of light blue, a shade she'd seen somewhere before, but she couldn't remember. It was a beautiful color, and she recalled seeing it just recently. The dress was short and strapless, with a tight corset. A lighter shade of the dress in the form of a strip weaved the middle portion like a belt, with a single silver bow encrusted with glittering diamonds on the left. The lower half was of the same color as the corset, but made of layers of silky lacy net poofing out from the centre, giving the dress a very pretty, tutu effect. The dress in fact looked like a ballerina's, except that it was more graceful and sophisticated, and much more beautiful. Sonny wondered where her mother even found the dress.
Sonny softly smiled before gently placing the dress back on her bed. She walked to her closet and took out a matching set of underwear; a skimpy strapless white bra with a matching white thong. Yep, her mother made her wear thongs. What mother did that?
Sonny let her towel fall to the ground, and she slipped on her underwear. She adjusted the strap of the bra, and walked back to her bed. She picked up the dress, and taking a deep breath, she slipped into it. The dress fell perfectly on her, the tight corset hugging her petite waist and laying extra emphasis on her cleavage. The last of the lacy tutu reached mid thigh, showing off her long, slender legs. Sonny walked to her dressing table, sitting down in front of it with a sharp intake of air.
Sonny tapped the screen of her iPhone, her eyes widening as she realized she only had twenty more minutes to do her hair and her makeup.
She quickly started to work on it. Finally, those hundreds of cosmetic products from Mac Connie bought for her daughter were coming in use.
Sonny applied foundation, and put a light layer of pale pink blush. Just a little, to bring a glow to her rosy cheeks.
Sonny had amazingly clear and even toned skin, so she didn't require much makeup. But for the sake of her mother, she continued. She put a pale silvery blue shade of eyeshadow on her eyelids, adding a layer of dark Mascara to make her big brown eyes pop.
Finally, she daintily applied a sheer but glimmering pink shade of lipgloss on her rosy full lips. The lipgloss gave her the final touch, and it made her lips glow like gems every time they caught the light.
Seeing that she only had twelve minutes left, Sonny quickly moved onto her hair. She studied it for a few seconds. She decided to leave it in her signature curls, seeing as they went well with the dress.
She ran her brush through it, sweeping hr bangs to one side, setting her curls in a manner she approved of.
Smiling at her reflection, Sonny got up to go see the heels her mother had picked. They were a pair of sparkling silver platform heels, the heel about five and a half inches high.
Sonny slipped her feet into them, her height increasing tremendously as she rose to her full height.
Sonny gave herself a final glance at the mirror. She had perfectly toned, lightly tanned, and woundless skin, not a single scratch or bruise anywhere.
So at least there's some benefit of always wearing leggings and jackets.
As an after thought, Sonny added a silver chain with an infinity sign, encrusted with diamonds. The necklace landed perfectly right below her cleavage.
All in all, Sonny didn't think it was possible to look any more perfect. In fact, she was a little uncomfortable by knowing the fact that she looked a little too perfect for her liking. But she still liked it.
Shrugging, she picked up her phone and walked out of her room, and down the stairs.
Sonny peeped her head through the kitchen, where her mother was making the final preparations for the dinner.
Sensing her presence, Connie looked up from the bowl of salad she was preparing, her jaw falling as she did.
"Sonny.. is that really you?"
Sonny rolled her eyes.
"Oh no, I am Linda, ruler of the underworld. I have taken possession of your daughter's body," Sonny replied, sarcasm dripping off her tongue.
Connie clasped her hands and nestled them upon her lips, tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh my darling, you look so beautiful... If only your father were alive here to see you," she whispered, ignoring Sonny's earlier note of sarcasm.
Sonny immediately melted at her mother's words, rushing towards her and wrapping her arms around her.
"Oh mum.. thank you," Sonny whispered into her mother's shoulder.
Connie hugged back for a split second, before pushing away her daughter.
Sonny looked at her mother in confusion as Connie wiped the tears in her eyes.
"Nothing sweetie, I just don't want you to ruin your makeup," she laughed.
Sonny smiled as she nodded. She was glad the guests hadn't yet arrived.
It was only then she realized that her mother too had dressed up, her clean cut short hair neatly framing her face, and an elegant black dinner dress on her body. She too wore heels, though shorter and less sparkly than Sonny's.
A few more minutes passed, and Sonny helped Connie finish with all the dinner preparations.
Just as Sonny finished laying the last fork on the table, the bell rang. Connie and Sonny looked at each other, and Connie told her daughter to go stand and wait by the table.
Sonny did so, and watched her mom disappear around a corner as she headed to the door.
A few seconds later, she heard voices and laughter. She could make out her mom's voice, and the voices of two unidentified men.
The voices got closer and closer, before suddenly, three people were in front of Sonny. Her mom, a strangely familiar man and an even more strangely familiar boy, now stood in front of her.
"Sonny! You remember Uncle Jonathan and Chad, right?," Connie exclaimed happily.
Sonny's eyes widened as her mind was flooded with memories. Of course, how on earth could she forget?
Yet, she weakly nodded.
"Sonny dear! My my, I haven't seen you in twelve years... you look absolutely breathtaking. Come here, give your old uncle a hug," Jonathan said warmly.
Sonny smiled, going to her uncle for a hug. She had always loved Uncle Jonathan like a second father, he was a warm and loving man.
As Sonny was released, she finally noticed Chad, the boy she hadn't seen in twelve years, yet who she could recognize even before she came to know of his identity.
She took in his appearance as he remained engaged in conversation with Connie. He wore a tight white shirt, not doing much to conceal his perfectly chiseled chest with his abs in all his perfect glory. He wore a leather jacket on his shirt, his arms no doubt perfectly toned and muscular. Damn, Sonny thought. I never knew someone so beautiful could exist in real life, and then boom. He happens to exist.
Sonny then moved to his face. She gulped.
Chad was looking at her, his mesmerizing blue doe like eyes wide and looking right at hers. He had large blue eyes, and perfect complexion. If any, Chad seemed to have shaved all of his facial hair. He had a strong looking jaw, and Sonny smiled to herself upon noticing the perfectly adorable dimples on his face that appeared when he smiled at something Connie said. Sonny remembered loving them even as a kid, the crinkles appearing every time he laughed.
Chad had long eyelashes, and dirty blonde hair. Just looking at it made Sonny want to run her hands through it, but she knew better than to toss her dignity just like that out the window.
"Come come, lets eat first, we have the whole night to talk!," Connie said excitedly, leading everyone to the table. Sonny sat across from Chad, Connie next to Chad and Jonathan opposite her.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
An hour had passed, and a lot of talking had been done.
However, it was mostly Connie and Jonathan that did the talking, though half their questions were directed either at Sonny or Chad.
Sonny and Chad both had learnt that they apparently worked at the same studios, Chad the star of the infamous series Mackenzie Falls, and Sonny the newest cast member of the equally famous comedy show So Random!.
Both knew of the rivalry between their shows, but didn't hate each other for it.
Both recalled their nicknames for each other, and continued using them for the rest of their conversations.
However, Sonny couldn't help but notice that Chad was a little uncomfortable. She couldn't tell why.
Soon though, dinner ended.
"Sonny, take Chad to your room or something... Uncle Jonathan and I have an important... matter to discuss. We'll get back to you in some time," Connie explained, gesturing Sonny and Chad to leave.
Sonny shrugged, and got up, signaling Chad to get up as well.
Both adults watched their teenaged children leave, not uttering a word before they were well out of hearing range.
"Soo.. this is my room," Sonny said, flipping on her light as she waved her hand to her room, showing it to Chad.
Chad however, didn't really react, but took in Sonny's room and walked to her bed, standing by it.
Sonny frowned as she followed him, trying to figure out what the hell the guy's problem was.
Sonny watched Chad fidget uncomfortably. The boy she used to be best friends with at one point hadn't directly uttered a single word towards her since they met an hour and a half ago for the first time in twelve years. Or so she thought.
As Sonny studied him a bit longer, she took in his toned arms, quite visible now since he had taken off his obstructive jacket, though it looked hot on him.
She looked at him for a few minutes more, before a look of confusion seeped over her, being replaced by one of shock not too later.
She gasped, attracting Chad's attention.
"Y-you... You!," she sputtered, pointing a finger at him, flabberghasted.
Chad's eyes immediately widened, knowing exactly what she had just realized. My my, wasn't she a tube light.
"Oh.. my.. god. Y-you... you perverted asshole! You're the one that walked in on me today! You!," she exclaimed.
Chad rolled his eyes. "Well, took you long enough," he said sarcastically, his voice smooth and calm, whereas Sonny was hyperventilating in comparison.
Sonny scoffed loudly at that, glaring at him, although her cheeks were red.
Chad rolled his eyes again.
"You know what? I'm sort of uncomfortable. I'm just going to leave now."
That's the last straw, Sonny thought. She was fuming with anger now, like a volcano about to explode.
"You?! You're uncomfortable?! How the fuck do you think I feel?!," She yelled.
"Look, it was an accident. I didn't mean it," Chad said, his tone still as calm as ever.
Little this the brawling teenagers know, their parents had just come up to call them.
"Accident? How do you accidentally walk in on a naked girl!?," Sonny yelled.
"What!?," Jonathan and Connie yelled in unison. Talk about bad timing.
"He walked in on me!"
Sonny was practically screaming at the top of her lungs by now. She couldn't accept the fact that somebody had seen her naked. It wasn't like she was a virgin, but that didn't mean she wasn't the conservative type of girl.
"I did not!," Chad protested, finally letting go of the creepily calm behavior.
"Y-y-you saw Sonny naked?," Jonathan stammered.
"A little bit," Chad replied.
Connie clapped her hands and shrieked, surprising everyone.
"This is great, now we'll have no problems!"
Chad and Sonny exchanged confused glances.
"Uhh... Connie, this may not be the best time to tell them..."
"Oh never mind, just tell them, or I'll tell them myself!," Connie threatened.
"Um.. okay, let me handle this. Chad, son.. remember when I told you that we'd be coming here for dinner because of an agreement I had with Sonny's parents when she and you were little?," Jonathan asked, slightly nervous.
"Yeah, so?," Chad asked, completely disinterested.
"Well...," Jonathan couldn't say it. Connie jumped to the middle with a grin so wide, it almost reached her pinkish ears.
"Okay, listen up! Chad, Sonny, you two.. are going to be engaged!," Connie exclaimed.
There was a pin drop silence. Jonathan internally groaned.
'Three.. two.. one..,' he mentally counted down.
"WHAT?!," Sonny and Chad roared, probably disturbing the whole neighborhood.
Sonny and Chad looked at each other with their eyes popping out of their sockets. Jonathan was wiping the sweat from his forehead, while blinking rather fast.
"Oh, and Chad!," Connie added. "I really want three grandkids. Two girls and a boy, you got that?," Connie said without any evidence of embarrassment.
"P-please be gentle..," Jonathan stuttered, clearly scared.
"WHAAAAAAT!?," Sonny and Chad roared once more, even louder than before if possible.
"Great. Now all hell has been set loose," Jonathan grumbled.
Ain't life just peachy?
