AN: Props to Chloeereplied. I know I hinted that I'd be using your idea, so here it is. Thanks for the reviews and ideas guys. Without further ado:

Chapter Four: The Cheese

"Grady!" I called running back to the prop room. A few seconds after Chad and I had parted I had gotten an other idea as to how to catch him. Actually he gave me the idea himself. I never thought I'd be glad that I was there when Chad went on an angry defensive rant about mac and cheese. "Grady I need your cheese!" Grady looked up from whatever video game I assumed he was playing on his phone. He stashed it behind a couch cushion and stood up.

"Heeey, Sonny!" He exclaimed looking guilty. "What brings you to our prop house?" I decided to ignore his weird behavior and focus on the task at hand, catching Chad Dylan Cooper.

"Listen, I know you have a secret cheese stash on set somewhere and I need some of it."

"What for? Have you caught Pooper yet?"

"Actually its part of my latest evil scheme to catch Chad. I need to make some macaroni and cheese, like fast too because I'm running out of time. The day is almost over!"

"You better hurry. If you let us down, Zora will never forgive you."

"I know. I'm stressing out. I've been running all over the studio all day! I just need more time." I sat down on the couch, an exhausted heap of mush.

"Yeah," Grady agreed. "I know! We can build a time machine!"

"No Grady, but thanks."

"Or you could always use some of my mac and cheese reserves I've been saving for an earthquake." I jumped up.

"What! Why didn't you say that in the first place?"

"You just asked for cheese." he explained not understanding. I snorted and shook my head. Typical Grady.

"Come on then!" I ushered him up so he could take me to his emergency stocks of mac and cheese.

~ 25 Minutes Later ~

"Perfect!" I exclaimed as I put a fork in the bowl of mac and cheese Grady and I had whipped up quickly.

"How is this going to catch Chip?" Grady asked as he put a small portable desk fan behind the bowl and turned it on, sending the fumes of hot cheese sauce through the studio hallways.

"Just trust me and get out of here!" He ran out of the room and I hid behind the open door with yet another large net. I had it all planned out. Chad always walks down this hallway about this time to get a fro-yo. I don't stalk him or anything, I just happen to always crave fro-yo at this time and I often run into him here. Speaking of the devil, I could hear him talking to someone.

"What do you mean 'where have I been all day' ?" He asked. "I've been chased by Randoms with nets, well one Random anyway." He paused. He must be talking on the phone with someone, I concluded. "Yes, Portlyn, I mean Sonny." So he was talking to Portlyn. I thought she wasn't aloud to talk without a script. "Wait, what? Just because I know Sonny's name and not the other Randoms doesn't mean I have a crush on her!" I held back a giggle. Why did everyone think that we liked each other? I mean just because we went out of our way to see each other everyday to fight in our usual fine-good way doesn't mean we flirt. "What have I told you about talking without a script!" he yelled and I assumed he hung up with her. Then he started mumbling to himself. "Stupid Portlyn and stupid cute Sonny making people think I like her... hey, do I smell mac and cheese?"

Yes! I heard his footsteps getting louder as he got closer, following his nose. He walked into the room an I could feel him standing there on the other side of the door. I tired to will him to step forward with my mind. I only needed him out of the doorway and I wasn't expecting him to do, was lean on the door. This is exactly what he did.

"Ow!" I yelped against my will as the door crushed me into the wall.

"Sonny?" Chad exclaimed, stepping into the room and closing the door behind him. Freed, I slid down the wall in pain, forgetting all about the net in my hands. Chad took it from me and threw it away to the far side of the room. Then he reached down and helped me up. "You okay?"

"Yeah." I said shakily as he let me go and I stood by myself. "I think so." I brushed myself off.

"Good."

"Good." I replied trying to start one of our arguments but Chad was upset with me.

"You tired to catch me with mac and cheese?" He put on his dramatic, sad, Mackenzie face. I had to look away from his big, beautiful, blue eyes or risk getting lost. "But I told you that in confidence! I trusted you and you tried to use it against me!" I sighed.

"I'm sorry, Chad. I'm just running out of time to get this done and I'm getting desperate."

"So give up." I snorted.

"Have you met my cast?" He chuckled in understanding. "They'd never let me live it down if I ruined the tradition."

"I can understand that, but I'm still not giving up and letting you catch me, at least not without a fight," I rolled my eyes and but smiled.

"I can understand that."

"Wanna go get a fro-yo before you start planning your next fetal attempt?" I laughed.

"Yeah sure." We walked out of the room and into the hallway, heading towards the commissary, side by side, all thoughts of capture out of our heads.

Author's Note: Okay, and that is the end of the second to last chapter. Thanks again for the ideas. The next chapter is called: "The Catch!" I can't blieve this is almost over! But at least Disney finally got Sonny and Chad together even if it was in an incredibly gross way.

Luv,
