Author's Note: Get ready to see the cast of So Random!'s reaction! I hope you enjoy. I had fun writing this one but I'm not sure if it's my best work ever, sorry about that. Oh, and if you like this story at all, PLEASE check my profile and vote in the poll! I really want to see which character you guys want to see most of in this story. You can vote for two. It would really help, seeing as I have more than one plotline and I need to know which one to write about most.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sonny With a Chance, any of its characters, or Bones.

Picking Sides
Grady

"She WHAT, man?"

"I called her to make sure she was okay and she called me a conceited idiot - no better than Chad Dylan Cooper - and hung up on me." My best bud Nico seems really dejected about this whole thing. I've never had anything against Sonny, but now -

"No better than CHIP MCDRAMAPANTS? You don't need to deal with that kind of girl, Nico. We got each other!" I exclaim, trying my best to make him feel better. But he only shrugs and nods and turns back to Bones on the television.

Zora and Tawni walk in, Tawni's face turning softer when she sees Nico on the couch. Since when did Tawni actually care about any of the rest of us? Zora's carrying a blueprint of some kind, an expression of determination on her face. "Okay, people, let's get to work," calls Zora, and she spreads out the paper on the coffee table.

"What's that?" I ask her.

"A plan to get rid of Sonny," Zora responds with an evil smirk.

Nico shakes his head. "No, don't do anything rash. She had a right to be angry with me."

I'm thinking about something different. "Hey, you're both on Nico's side too?"

"Well, la duh," Tawni answers with a slight flip of her hair. "Nico's been here longer. Besides, Sonny is getting better reviews from critics than me. And TAWNI HART deserves every single review she's gotten!" Her eyes dart around the room.

"Yeah!" Zora says, eyes sparkling with a hint of anger. "She disapproves of my pranks! Well, usually. Well, only sometimes, but we don't need a mother around here! And… um… her bubbly personality is creepy!" She shudders for emphasis, pigtails bouncing.

"There are no sides to this, guys!" Nico practically yells. "It's just between me and Sonny. Thanks for the support, but you don't have to choose sides!"

The door is thrown open and Sonny strides in, not looking half as confident and happy as usual, yet she seems almost normal. No tear marks, nothing to signal that Nico had broken up with her last night. "Okay, guys, so I've thought of some funny sketches for our show!" she tells us, her gaze avoiding Nico's. She drops a small pile of papers on the table beside the blueprint, which Zora frantically grabs for and throws away, a little bit panicked.

I pick up one of them and scan the page, looking through all the parts. "Wait a minute… this one's about a blubbering idiot guy breaking up with a girl and she dumps fro yo on his head!"

Sonny rips that sketch out of my hands, blushing furiously. "Um, oops, that wasn't one of them. Sorry!" she squeaks. "Take a look at the others, they're hilarious. Hang on…" She picks up the pile and leafs through the papers, taking out quite a few of them before plopping the remaining four or five sheets down. "There, those ones are to die for."

I can't help but glare at her, noticing that Nico is hiding his face and Zora is gaping at Sonny. "You would be mean enough to write a sketch about you and Nico and have us read it? Act it? What happened to Hollywood's good girl?" I demand.

Sonny backs away, her eyes darting all around, searching for an exit. "No! I never meant for anyone to see that! It must have gotten into the pile by accident!" she begs.

"Pour salt in poor Nico's wounds, won't you?" Zora jumps in. Sonny's eyes start watering, and I feel guilty, but only a little bit.

"Tawni, you believe me, right? You're on my side here, right?" she tries.

"There are no sides -" Nico interjects.

"On your side?" Tawni says incredulously, laughing. "Yeah, right! Look, Sonny, you're obviously a whole new definition of diva, so I don't want to see you for the rest of the day!" She stalks out, turning her head once to look back at us.

Sonny can't hold it back, and she starts sobbing. Nico instinctively gets to his feet, but she dashes out before he can say a word. I can hear her cries for a few minutes before they fade away, and I can't help but wonder what I've done. Then I turn to Nico, who looks slightly annoyed and sad, and I say, "Sorry, bro."

He mumbles something and heads out of the studio too.

Zora looks up at me. "Here, hang on, I'll get Tawni. We need to have a meeting," she says. "TAWNI!"

Tawni appears immediately and sits down on the couch. "Meeting, right, Zora?"

Zora nods. "Okay, so we have a new mission. We need to cheer Nico up. Did you see how sad he was?"

"Yeah," I agree. "I hate seeing him like this."

"Me too!" Tawni briskly nods. "How can we cheer him up?"

Zora grins. "Well, there are a few new inventions I've created that I'd love to try out…"

"No, we want Nico alive at the end of this," I argue. "We should just do things he likes to do with him, okay? Get his mind off of Sonny."

"Sounds good to me," Tawni shrugs.

Zora nods. "Okay, everyone put your hands in, and on three, we yell muffins!"

"Muffins?" I ask, confused.

She rolls her eyes. "Just go with it."

"Okay, but after, can we go down to the commissary to get some muffins?"

"Of course!" Zora says, as though it was obvious, then she sticks her hand out. I place mine on top of hers, and Tawni tentatively adds hers, muttering something about how we should be careful with her new manicure. "One, two, three…"

"MUFFINS!" Zora and I shout, yanking our hands up. Tawni just sort of smiles and backs up.

"Kay, well I think I'll go first, alright? I'll try to cheer him up today, and you guys can go later," Tawni orders, and skips out of the room, humming to herself.

Author's Note: I hope you liked it! Again, please check out the poll, and please review! It would mean so much to me.

Next chapter - A. We follow Sonny outside and see what happens next with her. B. We watch Tawni trying to cheer Nico up. Please tell me in your review which one you would like to see next! :)
