It's Xmas Eve-Merry Christmas! :D

Here's the next one...drama drama dra-ma!

Chapter 4-Asking the Parents

Sonny's POV

We pull away from our sad, awkward hug, speechless. Well, who could talk if they found out their rival-gone-date was really their long-lost sibling?

"I…I just don't get it…" Chad says, lost. "We look nothing alike. How can this be?"

"I know," I say, "I wish this had never happened." Tears roll down my cheeks, Chad's soft blue eyes look pretty upset too.

"But…you always mentioned you're Mommy." I say to Chad, and he shuffles his feet awkwardly.

"Uh…about that…" He says, "She was never really my Mom. She was a woman my Dad met and they got married. They broke up recently. The divorce just went through."

Wow. I know however bad this is for me, it seems worse for Chad.

"I'm sorry," I say, "Chad, I never knew…"

"S'OK, Sonny," He says leaning against the wall, "I never gave you reason to know. It's over now. No big deal. And I have a real Mom now; a good one. Your-OUR-Mom's awesome."

I laugh, but it's an empty one. Like all of my emotion has been drained. It feels weird hearing OUR Mom, especially from Chad.

"So, what do we do?" I ask.

"Dunno about you," He says, "But I'm going home. I've gotta talk to my dad about this."

"I'll go talk to my Mom then." I say.

I realise I have to. She's known all along that Chad -my brother- became the star of Mackenzie Falls, and she never told me. Even last night, she saw Chad ask me out and said nothing. She has a lot of explaining to do…

"Hey, sweetie!" She says, seeing me enter, "You're home early. What happened?"

I sigh, "I met my brother," I say, and she smiles.

"See?" She says, "I told you one day you'd meet him!"

"Yeah, but it wasn't what I thought it would be Mom." I say.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"Remember when I was 12 and you were talking to Dad on the phone?"

"Yeah…"

"…About Dylan being on a cheesy drama show?"

She seems to realise what's going on. "He isn't'." She says.

I sigh, "He is. Chad is my brother."

She gets up, pacing. "I don't understand," She says, "His name was Dylan…"

"He had to change his image for Mackenzie Falls," I inform her, "I thought you'd know."

"I'm sorry, Sonny," She says, "Your Dad never told me this. He told me a boy called Chad Dylan Cooper beat my Dylan Goldfarb in the auditions and got the part."

She sees me, tears spilling slowly and hugs me tight. She knows how I felt about Chad; what do I do now?

Chad's POV

I get home and see my Dad, watching TV. I stand in front of it-like Mackenzie would-and stand strong.

"What's up, Dyl…Chad?" He asks me, "You OK?"

"No, I'm not," I say, "Maybe you could explain something to me."

He shrugs, "Anything. Fire away."

I grab the remote and turn over the TV to where Sonny's being funny on So Random. "Why did you never tell me she's my sister?" I ask.

"She's your sister?" He says, acting innocent.

"You knew perfectly well, you just hid it from me." I insist.

"I promise Chad, I had no idea."

"I don't believe you," I say, and he stands, trying to say something. Nothing comes out. "I was this close to a date with her; don't you think it's a little creepy right now for me? I was about to date my sister!"

He sighs, "I'm sorry. She is your sister."

I sigh, shake my head and run up to my room. I'm just so confused-why did this have to happen? Why did I have to reply to Sonny's letter?

I collapse on my bed, sighing, and I see the picture of Sonny on the side of my bed. She can't be my sister…she just can't…

Me: Santa, can I have SWAC for Xmas?

Santa:No

Me:Oh, you're a mean Santa! :P

So, thanks to Santa, unfortunately, I don't own SWAC :'(
