Chapter 4: the Interrupter Interviwer

"Excuse me, sir?" Chad said to a man with a headset.

"Yes? Oh you're Chad Dylan Cooper! Can I have your autograph for my daughter."

"Oh—um sure. Name?" he said, pulling out his stash of pictures of him. Surprising? Not really.

"Sam."

"Ok. Here you go. But I have a question."

"Oh anything. What is it?"

"Thanks. You know the list my people sent Tyra?"

"Oh yeah. Everyone sends 'the list'. Of stuff she can't bring up, right? Lets see…hmmm on your list it's just girlfriend….oh and self-obsession…but well…."

"Can you take off the girlfriend one?"

"What? Well…we've never been asked to do that before but…why not? Are you sure that's what you want?"

"Definitely."

"Did you clear this with anyone else? Your people?"

"Um. Yeah." Chad lied

"Ok then. All set. See you on set." Said the man, cutting up 'the list'.

"Sam! We need you on set!" Someone called from in front of the curtain. Sam blushed as he walked away and Chad chuckled. He turned laughing and almost ran into Sonny.

"What was that?"

"Oh he asked me for an autograph 'for his daughter'. But it was actually for him." He started laughing again, "it actually happens all the time."

Sonny looked at him, confused. "I'm not really sure if that's a good thing, Chad. It's actually a little weird."

Chad stopped at looked at her, "yeah, I guess it is."

Sonny smiled. "Sorry Chad."

He would have responded but they were called to their places, Sonny and the Falls in the audience, and Chad prepping for the stage. The show was about to begin.

"Mackenzie Falls. One of the biggest teen shows since Dawson's Creek. It has won more Tween Choice awards than any other drama in history. But who is behind the character, Mackenzie? Who is this teen heartthrob with three names? The boy girls search through internet sites for countless hours, trying to get some deets on. Well, you're in luck, girls, because he is here tonight, ready to talk about the show, his family life, and more! Here he is, Chad Dylan COOPER!"

The crowd screamed loudly and much shrieking and odd slurring of 'I LOVE YOU''s could be heard in the uproar, as the crowd stood; many were teenage girls. Chad waved 'modestly' and thanked everyone. Tyra sat down in the chair across from him as he sat down as well.

"Good morning Chad!"

"Hello Tyra!"

"It's so great to have you here. I mean, I've only heard stories of you from teenage girls, but even then I don't get to hear much due to the swooning and excessive screaming."

"ha-ha yeah I do tend to have that kind of effect on girls." He said smugly. The girls in the audience sighed and Chad looked at Sonny ever so discreetly, and she rolled her eyes. "Well, usually, I guess."

Tyra laughed. "So I have been watching some of your shows so I could, you know, get to know you and your character a little bit and I gotta say, your show is very addicting. And very dramatic! I felt like I was watching like One Life to Live!"

"Hahaha yeah. I love my show. That is the kind of feel you are supposed to get; afterall, it is a teen drama. But it's a lot of fun to be in. I would definitely say my cast and I have a lot of fun."

"So you brought your cast with you today, huh? Would you say you guys get along well?"

"Um yeah. We are kind of like a family. We take care of each other really well."

"Aww well that's really nice! How long have you known your cast?"

"Well Portlyn for at least like 5 years. She is really like my sister. Uhm and the rest of them about 3 or 4. Mine and Portlyn's character have been on since the very first show."

"Wow, well that's great! How did you get on Mackenzie Falls? Were you always an actor?"
"Um no actually. When I was 10, I started to get an interest in it so my family and I moved here from Nevada. I went to the Mackenzie Falls audition and they just loved me right away."

"So you did your parents really have any intention of you becoming an actor?"

"No we were pretty much a normal family until I started being in school plays and stuff. My family is really wonderful. They sorta keep me together and grounded." All of a sudden, a snort could be heard from the audience and every single person looked for the culprit who had just begun to slouch in the front row. Her brown hair was the only thing that could be seen. Chad laughed as Sonny flashed him an apologetic smile.

Tyra took this opportunity to change gears. "So your Mackenzie Falls is shot in Condor Studies, correct?"

Chad chuckled, "Yes, Mr. Condor is a wonderfully supportive man. He works well with his shows."

"Uh huh. And there is also another show that works there too right?"

"Yeah," Chad chuckled once more. This was going just like he'd hoped. "So Random!"

"Right. And I've heard, this may be just a rumor, but I've heard that the two shows don't get along. Is that true?"
"Actually, it is very true. We have a sort of rival going on. But--"

"Really? But I see in this audience is the star of that show?"
"Yes, Sonny Munroe is here. She's--" Chad pointed to her, still slouching in the seat and some girls began to scream Sonny's name as well.

"Even though you are rivals?"

"Yeah. But I don't hate--"

"Selena Gomez was on my show a few days ago. And we asked her about the movie you made."

"Oh yeah. I directed a show about my life. It was really fun."

"Yes and she told us you almost made her play Sonny Monroe even though you let the rest of the cast be themselves? You made Sonny work for it?"

"That is true. I do feel bad about it." He said honestly

"Well, when we come back, we'll have more about Chad and hopefully a little surprise for you. We'll be right back."

"And we're off." The camera man said.

"Chad?" Tyra coaxed, "Do you think you could get Sonny up here?"
