Sorry I haven't updated in a while! School started again, and I have a TON of homework. :P Plus, I'm graduating next year so I have all my applications do it. :P

Anyhoo, with all the votes I got in, NOBODY was Team Ruby. Ha ha ha, it didn't surprise me really.

Chad: Well, duh. I'm obviously the most good-looking and awesome.

Me: ......... Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that.

I'm super-de-duper excited for Falling for the Falls to air!! I heard rumors that it's going to air this Sunday!! Eeep!!

Disclaimer: I just got a letter that says "Congratuluations! You officially DON'T own SWAC!" Really brightened my day. (That was sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell.)

Cloudy with a Chance of Channy - Chapter Three

Chad's Story

Sonny's POV

Mandy? Mandy.... Why did that name ring a bell? I stared at the girl with a puzzlement on my face. The look on my face must have been kind of dopey, because her eyes flickered to me, and her mouth curled into a sneer.

"Well, well, well," she said slyly. "Look who we have here," I blushed slightly, feeling self-conscious, but I held out my hand anyway.

"Um, hi, I'm Sonny Munroe," I said. Mandy glared at my hand like it was a piece of garbage. I withdrew, looking embarrassed. Why did this girl not like me? I just met her! Finally, Tawni found her voice. It was angry and bewildered at the same time. But mostly angry.

"What are you doing here Mandy?" she demanded. Mandy smiled sweetly at her, but it was a fake I'm-better-than-you kind of sweet.

"I was just in town," she replied, as if it was the most casual thing in the world. Her eyes moved back to Chad and raked his body with interest. I immediately stiffened. What business did this Many person have looking at my boyfriend like that? Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dani slip out of her seat. She motioned with her hand for me to come with her. I shot her a pleading look, and she rolled her eyes and motioned again, more severely. I groaned internally.

"Excuse me," I mumbled, stepping over Chad out of the booth. Mandy stepped back and smirked at me as I passed. Chad looked at me and I rolled my eyes and turned my head towards Dani. He nodded in understanding, looking uncomfortable. Quickly, I followed Dani outside the ice cream shop.

"Who is that girl?" I burst out, as soon as we were outside. "And why is she flirting with Chad?!" Dani looked grim.

"Sonny, that girl is Amanda Nicole Parker, and she could ruin your relationship with Chad forever," Well, Dani always was very blunt. My mouth gaped open.

"Why?" I managed to get out. Dani ran her fingers through her hair, looking agitated.

"Do you remember Mandy?" she asked me. My blank look must have said it all. "She was on So Random before you?" Oh! That girl!

"Oh, yeah!" I said.

"Yeah, well you do know why she left So Random?" Dani asked, and I shook my head. Now that I thought about it, my cast mates had never told me.

"Mandy didn't leave," Dani began. "She was kicked off." My eyes widened, and Dani looked at me uncertainly. She took a deep breath before continuing. "My brother dated her for the longest time." I opened my mouth, jealousy rising inside me. I was about to protest, but Dani looked me in the eyes. The hurt and sadness in her blue eyes silenced me.

"She cheated on him," she continued. "I knew it, we all knew it. But Chad refused to believe it. 'Mandy loves me, and I love her' he told me. I tried convincing him, but he wouldn't listen to me. Your cast mates know about it too. They saw Mandy cheating on him, with so many other guys. It was sickening." Dani's head dropped in defeat. I couldn't speak.

"Did....did Chad find out?" I asked, my voice trembling.

"He walked in on her making out with some other guy," she said, anger building in her voice. I never realized how close Dani was to her brother, but the sorrow in her voice said it all. "In his dressing room. That was it. Chad crumbled. He was never very strong to begin with. You've seen him. The real him. The person under the Chad Dylan Cooper facade he creates to feel more sure of himself. The soft, sweet, sensitive Chad. Mandy crushed that. Mr. Condor did an investigation, and found out that Mandy had also been doing drugs, regularly. She was kicked off So Random."

I was speechless after Dani's speech. All this that I never knew about Chad.

"Don't you see Sonny?" Dani begged me. "Mandy is back, she's trying to get Chad back. He doesn't want her, but he's a teenage boy. You have to be careful, Chad can't lose you. You're the best thing that has even happened to him. You might not think that, but I've seen it. He's so much happier with you." My eyes were probably as wide as saucers, and I nodded, speechless.

"I...I never knew..." I stammered out. Dani shook her head.

"It's okay, no one really did," she told me. "C'mon let's go back in," I followed Dani back into the store, my heart filled with emotions.

I walked back into the ice cream shop to have my heart fill with jealousy. Mandy had taken my seat and was leaning a little too close to Chad, if you ask me. Dani stomped up to them, her eyes blazing with fury. Mandy noticed her and scowled deeply.

"Danielle," she sneered, glaring at Dani.

"Amanda," Dani spat back. Chad looked nervous.

"Oh my gosh, look at the time, I have to shoot in 10 minutes!" he cried, jumping up from his seat and running out the door. He grabbed my wrist as he did so, dragging me out the door behind him. "Run, Sonny!" he hissed once we were outside.

Never did I think the day would come that I would see Chad Dylan Cooper run for his life. But, that's exactly what he was doing. He streaked down the streets, leaving me trying to catch up with him in my too-small shoes.

"Chad, wait!" I cried, struggling to catch up. Finally, we reached Condor Studios, and I was exhausted. I was never very good at sports, so I collapsed into Chad's arm.

"Sonny, are you okay?" he asked, alarmed.

"I'm...fine..." I wheezed, breathing heavily. "Not... very... athletic..." Chad chuckled nervously and walked swiftly down the halls, supporting me. We reached his dressing room, and he opened the door, strode in, then shut and locked the door behind us.I sat down on an easy chair while Chad sunk onto the sofa.

"Sorry about that," he mumbled, looking ashamed. "It's just Mandy..." I cut him off sympathetically, and walked over to sit by him.

"It's okay, Chad," I said, putting my hand on his shoulder. "Dani told me everything." Chad dropped his head into his hands. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. "I never told you. I should have. I mean, you're my girlfriend..." I shook my head and leaned into him. He wrapped his arms around me. Suddenly, the door flew open with a boom. I was so startled I nearly fell off the sofa. Thankfully, Chad caught me and pulled me into his lap. Standing in the doorway was none other than Mandy.

"Oh, am I interrupting something?" she asked with false sweetness. She was glaring daggers at me and I cowered under her glare.

"Chad..." she said flirtatiously. "Guess what? I'm going to be guest-starring on MacKenzie Falls for the week!"

"W-what?" he stammered.

"That's right," Mandy smiled, flipping her hair. "Hey, why don't you and I go for dinner sometime?" She winked and giggled in a way that made me gag. She turned her icy stare on me.

"No one asked your opinion," she spat, and I flinched at the venom in her voice. I swallowed hard to stop tears from coming up. Why did she hate me so much? Chad saw me, and looked alarmed. He tightened his hold on me, and glared at Mandy.

"Don't you dare talk to Sonny like that," he hissed, causing Mandy to step back, surprised. "Now, get out."

"But Chaddy-"

"Get out. Now."

Mandy sent one last sneer towards me, then swiveled and strutted away, her heels clicking on the floors. Chad sighed in defeat, and hugged me tighter.

"Don't listen to her," he comforted me. "She's a bitch." I nodded and smiled up at Chad. He smiled back at me, softly.

"Hey," I said, sitting up carefully. "Do you want to go get some yogurt? We never did get to order our ice cream..." Chad grinned at me.

"I have a better idea," he smirked. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Dave? It's Chad Dylan Cooper. I'll need one chocolate and one butterscotch ice cream delivered to my dressing room right away." I giggled as Dave arrived less than ten minutes later, with our ice cream.

"Hey, let's watch a movie," he suggested. "I have the best movie ever." I giggled and agreed. Smirking, he got up, and put a movie into the DVD. I groaned as Chad Dylan Cooper: A Chad Dylan Cooper story by Chad Dylan Cooper Productions came up.

"Really, Chad, really?" I asked, stealing his line. He smirked at draped an arm over me.

"Ya know you love it," he winked and I rolled my eyes, leaning into his chest. We stayed that way, eating ice cream and watching Chad's movie. (which is terrible, let me say.) Everything in the world seemed perfect.

Too bad it didn't last.

Wow. Lots of drama in that chapter. I've never really written super drama before. It's fun, but also slightly depressing....

What did you think? Reviews are most appreciated. :)
