A/N: Hey everybody. I kind of have no life right now. I'm just chilling before school starts which is 11 days. *gasp* So I'm trying to update as much as I can before I enter Junior year. I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to be able to update like I am now. I already know that I have a bunch of HW the first week alone, so... enough of my rambling. Here's another chapter. It's shorter than the last chapter, but I hope everyone enjoys! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Sonny With A Chance or any of the characters. *Sniff*

Chapter Four

SPOV

I just stared at Emma as her question sunk in. During the whole conversation about Chad, I hoped, for some reason, that she wasn't interested. She had called him cute, which brought back that unwelcome feeling in my stomach, but otherwise, it seemed like she wasn't interested, which caused me to sigh in relief. But, then, she said that she might give him a date probably with clear and friendly intentions going, hopefully, but what if she walks out of the date thinking that maybe she could give him another shot in a real date. Wait! What do I care if they go out or not? It's as if I'm getting jealous of her. I mean it's just Chad. Maybe that's why she's asking... for permission. But that would mean that she thinks that I like him. Which I totally don't... I think.

"Why would you ask if I was OK with it? Why wouldn't I be?" I finally ask. I notice that I'm kind of nervous.

Emma POV

Dang it! She asked. I was hoping that she wouldn't. What do I say? Wait. I think I got something. Hopefully, she buys it. "Well, I'm one of your old friends. We haven't talked in a few years, and we just started to catch up with each other's lives, so I didn't want to make you mad-"

"Why would I be mad?" she interrupted suddenly. "Unless you think that I like Chad which I don't!"

Internal gasp! "Wait. What? I wasn't going to say that!" I acted confuse, but inside I was giddy with excitement. I didn't even plan this, but I guess my words made her say it. She tried denying something that I wasn't going to even accuse her of... yet, but she was also denying it to herself since her voice went higher, and it was obvious. Time to put my acting skills to work to get more out of her.

"You weren't going to say that?" She asked. She looks completely stunned.

"No. I was going to say that I didn't want to get you mad because he's on your rival show. He's your enemy. I didn't want to go out with your enemy and offend you." I said it as if this was the most obvious thing in the world. It wasn't the best excuse, but Selena thinks that this might be another reason for them not to go out. Their castmates may not like it, but I'm not sure. Whatever. I'll figure that out tomorrow.

"Oh." Is all she says. She still looks completely surprised that she said that because she's realized that I wasn't even going to say that. Maybe she thinks that she's given herself away. I think I got it though. She does like him, but she's in denial. I know this girl. She was one of my best friends, and she hasn't changed much. Hollywood hasn't taken it effect on her, yet. I'm pretty sure that, when she thought that I was going to accuse her of it, she tried to deny it before I even could. She used to do that all the time before I moved. Whenever I tried to accuse her of liking a boy, she would deny it with her voice going octaves higher than what it really is, just like right now. If we were like we were back then, and I knew better about what was going on between thime, I probably really would've accused her. Now, she's probably hoping that I don't know her as well as I did back then. Well, with this new information, hopefully, I can get the truth out of her soon.

SPOV

I can't believe I just said that! She wasn't even going to accuse me of that! It just sounded like back then when we would talk about boys and she would accuse me of liking certain ones, so I had to deny it before it could come out. Man did that backfire. Hopefully she doesn't notice anything because now I have some damage control.

"But you're on Mackenzie Falls. It's ok to go out with a castmate." Even though, deeply, I knew that I didn't want that.

"I'm only a guest star, though. It will only be for a short time that he's my costar. After that, you'll still hopefully be my friend, and an enemy of my friend is my enemy." She said with a smile.

"Of course, you'll still be my friend. We're living in the same city, again. Maybe one of your guest starring jobs can be on So Random!" I said, laughing.

She was laughing. Then, she said, "Why'd you think that I was gonna say that you liked Chad?"

Darn. I was hoping that she wasn't going to ask that. "Well, it just sounded like you were going to say it like how you use to accuse me, so I wanted to save you the trouble." I bit my lip. A sign for me that means that I don't like this situation pretty much. I hope she doesn't remember.

If she does, she didn't say anything about it. All she said was "Sorry it kind of did, but, nah, it's just that why would I socialize with someone who infuriates you to no extent, who is your sworn enemy, rival, and someone who are to hate because of a rivalry? I'll be nice to him for now because I have to work with him, but after, he can be enemy number one." Ugh. Now that I thought about it, associating all this hate with Chad didn't mix well with me.

"I don't hate him, Em. Yeah, he does infuriate me to no end, but sometimes he shows me that he doesn't deserve for me to hate him." Then, I start to think of all the things that Chad has done, and Emma doesn't interrupt me. While in these thoughts, I miss the slight smile that was on her face. I just thought my first good memory about Chad when he offered to me that he would take me to the doctor for my "broken" ankle. Then, he had complemented me on my acting skills. I thought of the memories in between to last week when he gave us our prop house and gave us all gifts. He had also gave me a written out apology to me. Then, I remembered this morning when I first felt those unknown feelings in my stomach which reminded me of the task on hand- to help Chad get a date with Emma. I had to get back to business.

"So would you go on a date with him?" I asked.

She sighed, "I don't know yet, but it will be most likely as friends. We can just hang out. That should be good enough for him."

We dropped the subject for now. We turned back to the TV and realized that the news was on, so we talked and laughed about stuff when Emma decided to go.

"Well, I gotta go. Mom said don't be out too late, so I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Definately." I said with a smile on my face.

"K. Bye Connie!" she called out.

"Bye Emma!" We heard her call out.

"See ya, Sonny." She said as she closed the door.

Once she left, I went to go freshen up for bed, then I went to say goodnight to my mom before heading to bed. For awhile, I stayed up thinking about what happened today and fell asleep having dreams about a certain blonde with blue eyes that I wouldn't remember in the morning.

A/N: Emma knows Sonny pretty well, huh? Sorry there hasn't been much Chad, but there's been a lot of talk, right? Yeah. Not good enough. I know. Well, Chad will definately be in the next chapter which I don't know when will be up.

I finally rented 17 Again, and I couldn't watch it tonight since my mom is asleep in the room which has the only dvd player in the house, so I'm watching it tomorrow and updating tonight. I'll be one of those girls squealing for Sterling not Zac. Zac's not bad. Sterling's just better in my opinion.

I also watched the new episode of SWAC online in ENGLISH. Sonnycentral posted it on twitter. Don't wanna spoil you if you haven't seen it, but it's got some pretty memorable Channy moments. :)

I also am thinking of posting my first song-fic soon. Its a Demi song- Everything You're Not, so keep an eye out for it.

Enough of my babbling,

For Now,

PEACE OUT SUCKAS.
