Thursday (Morning?).
"Hello?"my voice echoed in my dressing room. I thought someone was in here. So I turned on the TV and saw Chad's face on the Entertainment Channel. And the News. And then Mackenzie Falls. He's on every channel. I turned it off. It was getting on my nerves.
I lied down on the lounge chair, then music played. That romantic song— it sounds familiar. Oh— it was— umm— Two is Better Than one by Boys Like Girls, featuring Taylor Swift. But the thing that makes me wonder is that I didn't turn on the stereo. Then I realized, it's not from the stereo. The sound became louder as it got closer. I sat up, and turned around. It was Chad.
"Chad, you scared me. You could have given me a coronary." I said.
Chad snickered. "Sonny, you can be so funny." he put down the boom box on the table.
"Of course I am. You should know that by now, Cooper." I paused and stood up. "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing really." he smiled. "I just wanted to see if you were okay." he combed my hair with his fingers. It felt nice.
"Okay." I gulped. Then I took a step back. "Chad, are you flirting?"
"Is that what you want me to do?" he replied, stroking his finger softly on my face.
"Well, I don't know really." I said startlingly.
Chad kissed my forehead and it felt good. "Really, Sonny. Really?"
"Chad." I whispered.
He lightly put his finger on my lips. "Shh. You talk to much." he said. We slowly leaned to kiss then...
"Sonny. Wakey-wakey! You slept on the couch again." Mom shook my shoulder and stroked my hair with her fingers. My eyes opened.
"What happened?" I said.
"You slept on the couch. That's pretty much it." mom said.
"Really, mom. Really?"
"That's what happened." Mom got a little frustrated. I am now 23, and still living with my mother.

I drove my new Mercedes to work. It was a gift from Condor Studios for finally joining Mackenzie Falls. There was barely any traffic, I got to work earlier than usual. Upon entering, I received a call from Zora.
"Hey Zora." I picked up my phone.
"Hello my fellow Earthling! What's up over there at the Falls?" Zora asked.
"Nothing much. Still the same old Chad. Tawni's still fixing her hair. Marshall is still Marshall." I replied back.
"Well that's good. Hey, guess what?"
"What?"
"I told you to guess!" Zora said loudly.
"You got a talking pony." I replied
"No, not yet, I'm still looking for one. Guess again."
"You met aliens."
"I've done that, but that's not it. Guess again." she replied.
"You were shipped in a box with a monkey."
"God, Sonny, you suck at this game." she retorted. "I'm now a judge on American Idol."
"You're kidding." I said.
"What do you think of me? A liar? Well, you're wrong. To think I was going to invite you to my party." she said snobbishly.
"I'm sorry, Zora."
"Fine, you can come to my party. Bring a guest if you like." she added. "Ooh. Got to go, Sonny. I'm going swimming with Luis Cruikshank."
"But when's your— crap, she hung up on me." I said.I continued on inside. Tawni texted me to go to the commissary. Good. Some breakfast. Chad was just ahead of me, going to the commissary too. He was texting. I wonder who though. My cell phone rang. It said: Stop stalking me. -Chad
"I'm not stalking you." I told him, walking right beside him.
"Fine." he said lightly.
"Fine." I replied. And then he didn't bother to put in more fine's in there.
"Eggs Benedict, please." I now know you can get food that's not on the menu because I'm now at the Falls.
"Here you go dearie." the lunch lady smiled. I like her now. She used to be an old hag.
I sat at Tawni's table, the table we "Randoms" used to sit in. Tawni continued on with the bite wipe and gloss technique.
"Did you get Zora's invitation?" Tawni asked.
"Yeah. When is it?"
"Saturday night. You wanna carpool a limo?" she offered.
"Sure. Pick me up 'kay?" I replied. "Did you dream of something last night?" I finished my eggs benedict.
"Tawni town." we both said. "What about you?" she asked.
"Well," I gulped. "I dreamed about Chad."
She gasped. "Chad? Which one? Chad Michael Murray? Chad Kroeger? Chad Lowe?"
"Tawni, Chad Dylan Cooper. CDC. Chad. Mackenzie." I said briskly.
"Oh," she paused. "You know what they say, that when you dream about someone, that someone is thinking of you."
"Chad? Thinking of me? Ha. That's a laugh." I said. "I've had a dream about Justin Bieber, but he doesn't know me, how would he be thinking of me?" I retorted.
"Well, then you're his type of girl." she replied.
"I have a question, do you still live with your mother?"I slipped in another topic. I was getting uncomfortable.
"No, I moved out like two and a half years ago." she glossed her lips.
"Oh." I nodded lightly that people could have barely noticed.

Thursday (Morning?) again...
I looked through the horizon, and I saw my grandmother— who had been long dead— looking for me. I ran to her, hugging her. She's the one who truly cared for me, not even my parents cared for me. "I missed you grandma." I whispered to her ear.
"I missed you too, my grandson. What troubles you?" she said sweetly.
"Honestly, I'm torn between love and hate." I replied.
"Well why don't you go to the well of wisdom? That's what you used to do when you were confused, as a little child. That's where you made all your wishes and told all your stories. Believe me, the well would probably be your best friend." she grinned.
I laughed. Yeah, the well was my best friend. That's what I did, when I went to grandma's old house in Napa. I decided to go there, to make a wish.
"I wish, oh I wish, I wish Sonny would be mine. I wish Sonny loved me back. I wish Sonny would know that I loved her too." I said to myself, kneeling by the well, and throwing a penny to fall in to the well as an offering.
"Hey there." I heard a voice coming from behind me.
"You never seem to fail me, well of wisdom." I told it.
"Chad." she said softly.
"Sonny," I turned around. "I—" I came closer.
"I know." She leaned in to kiss me and—
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm clock woke me. I put it on snooze, then I went out on the terrace and I looked around.
---o0o---
I sat on a bench outside the set and I got a text from a guy named Nico. Who's Nico? Oh right— once a random. It said: Am now radio dj and interviewer (like Ryan Seacrest). Would like you to be first guest to be interviewed. I need an all out famous guy to do this, so that people will tune in to me and possibly you (if you agree). What would you say? Text me back if interested.
I got up and walked to the commissary. I texted him back: Okay, I'll do it. When will it be on?
He texted back. Saturday morning. Don't be late. Thanks Chad.
I glanced at my back. It was Sonny. My heart skipped a beat. It's Sonny Munroe. Crap. So I texted her: Stop stalking me. -Chad Then her cell phone rang.
"I'm not stalking you." she walked by my side.
"Fine." I replied.
"Fine." she said. I walked away faster.
I got some turkey ham and eggs for breakfast and I sat at the Falls Table. Ferguson and Portlyn were the only ones sitting in this table with me.
"I dreamed about a party which I decided to crash last night." Ferguson ate his special porridge.
"Cool. I dreamed about Arnold, and we had a date under the moonlight last night." Portlyn replied.
"Oh, do you know what they say, when you dream about someone, they're thinking of you?" Ferguson said. So, was Sonny thinking of me? Did she really think of me?
"Really? That's so sweet of Arnold to think of me." Portlyn smiled. "But I also dreamed that Zac Efron was playing the violin for us and he barely knows me. Nor do I know him." she added.
"Then you're his type of girl." he said. Could this be fate? Was Sonny thinking of me? Am I her type of guy?
A/N: Hey guys! How was it? I put in some Channy, even if they were just dreams.
I sort of got this idea from my classmate who asked about our dreams and told us that when you dream about someone, they're thinking of you and if you don't know that person in your dream, let's say Nick Jonas was in your dream, you're his type. I don't really know if this is true, but it's nice when someone thinks of you.
I hope you enjoyed that. Well, guess what. It's almost Valentine's day. Have you found your Valentine yet?
Well anyways, thanks for reading! I'll be updating soon... :)
