Chapter 3

Chad entered his dressing room and sat down, back from a Mackenzie Falls rehearsal. Sonny was running in his thoughts. No matter what, he couldn't get her out of his mind. At rehearsal, he saw Sonny, not Portlyn.

His sadness was still there but not as strong. Now he was just curious and nervous to why Sonny was gone. There was that weird phone call that probably had something to do with it. Maybe there really is a big family emergency. Or maybe someone kept something on ransom from her and they want her to quit her show to get it back? Or maybe that was a wizard who put a spell on Sonny to quit So Random! and come be his slave for eternity?

Chad sighed. She was right. He really was very dramatic. Maybe she'd call the studio sometime and see how everything's going and possibly even decide that since the studio is so great she should just forget the family emergency or get out of the wizard's spell and come back to Condor Studios.

Chad laid down. He was going crazy.

~.~.~.~

He wasn't the only one. The whole studio was going crazy. Not cause they were missing Sonny, but because Nico and Grady were getting into a lot of mischief.

Now their philosophy was that since Sonny is missing out on all of this that they should do even more in her name. And the fact that she was the one that always told them to cut it out and go back to rehearsal.

They ate from the fro yo machine, stole the security guard's pizza, and ate all the Mackenzie Falls food when no one was looking. They even almost got to messing with Chad's car, but Chad caught them. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BABY?"

Zora was still in the vents. She realized there wasn't really anything interesting without Sonny around. Usually, she'd see her fight with Chad or Tawni. She'd always try to make some plan to fix things. Now it was just the usual. Nico and Grady doing some stupid prank, Tawni in the mirror, rehearsals at 3.

Zora sighed. This isn't fun anymore.

Tawni may not have looked it, but she was missing Sonny too. Quite a bit, actually. She had realized with Sonny here that it was no fun to brag about herself in her dressing room with no one to hear it. That wasn't the only thing she missed, though. There was the fact how she always listened to Tawni's problems and fixed them. How she was always so nice even though she would be horrible to her. She was really her best friend.

Tawni sat on her couch. Why can't she come back?

~.~.~.~

Chad went to the Mackenzie Falls meditation room and relaxed for a while. He remembered the time Sonny banged the bong when everyone was meditating and started laughing out loud, ignoring the weird looks from his cast.

He went to get a loganberry smoothie and sat on the couches with his cast.

"Alright, I don't wanna be rude asking and all, Chad, but-" Trevor, a fellow Mackenzie Falls star started.

"Why are you going crazy?" Portlyn finished.

The whole cast nodded and looked at Chad, waiting for an answer. Chad chuckled nervously. He didn't really have one.

"Well, you see, I'm having a lot of stress because…." He said.

"Because?" Portlyn urged.

"Well, I just recently lost someone very close to me-"

"You didn't tell me about anyone in your family dying," Portlyn said, suspiciously.

"Well no one died and they aren't in my family," Chad said, gulping.

"But if they didn't die, and they aren't in your family-" Portlyn stopped, midsentence, and started laughing.

"I didn't know you missed her that much!" Portlyn said, controlling herself.

"What do you mean? Who does he miss?" Chloe, another star, asked.

"Well you guys know about So Random's new star, Sonny Monroe?" They all nodded. "Well, Chad here has a crush on her.

Chad jumped out of his seat. "WHAT? I do not have a crush on her!"

"Then why do you miss her?" Portlyn asked.

"Because.." Chad started.

"HA! You didn't even say it was her but just admitted it!" Chad cursed, while his cast laughed.

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with us," Devon said, still laughing.

Chad got up and left his laughing cast. Crush on Sonny Monroe? HA! As if!

Well….

Ugh, whatever. I'll just go to So Random! and see if they're missing her too, he thought.

He walked over to the Prop House and saw everyone on the couch, just sitting there, doing nothing.

"Hey guys," he said.

They all muttered a hey a back. Well, this was oddly out of character. He was in here for a minute and no one told him he was a jerk and to go back to the Falls. Then he realized that would be Sonny, and she is not here.

"You guys miss her too?" he asked.

Tawni screamed, "YES!" Then realized what she had just said, laughed sheepishly.

"I do too! There's nothing exciting these days without her!" Zora said with a huff.

"Yeah and its no fun to do pranks with no one to tell us to stop," Nico said.

"What about Murphy?" Grady asked.

"Still in the hospital," Nico said. They both sheepishly shrugged.

"I miss her too. A lot," Chad said, looking at a picture of the whole cast and Sonny.

Tawni then raced into his arms and said between sobs, "Wh-why can't she come b-back?"

Chad turned and saw not only Tawni, but the whole cast sobbing on him. He remembered how Sonny would hug him and started sobbing too.

"I d-don't know!" he cried.

"She needs to be back here!" Zora cried.

"Sonny, come back! Sonny, come back to me!" Grady sang. Everyone turned to him.

"Sorry, it just seemed appropriate to do that now," he said, sheepishly. Everyone rolled their eyes and started sobbing again.

"Look, this won't help anything. Let's all just watch some TV!" Nico said, turning on to Disney Channel. He was about to switch the channel till Chad went-

"WAIT! PAUSE!" He stared at the screen at a girl with dark hair, talking about her new show.

"Who is that?"

"Demi Lovato. New Disney star."

"She looks familiar.."

"SONNY!"
