A/N: Exciting news...I'm half way through my pregnancy. :D


Sonny woke up late the next morning, she and her mom had stayed up until the wee hours of the morning. She really didn't want to go to the studio after yesterday's drama. And she especially didn't want to face Chad. But she didn't have a choice. Her mom might have spoiled her the night before, but she wasn't going to let her stay home and pout all day.

"But Mom, I can't face them today!" Sonny said as she ate her cereal.

"And it'll be the same tomorrow and the day after that. It'll never end," her mother told her as she took a sip of coffee.

"Fine," Sonny mumbled. She wasn't exactly perky that morning. Her lack of sleep and disappointment from having to go to the studio mixed with everything else mad her quite grumpy.

"Morning Sonny!" Nico greeted her as she entered the prop house. He was the only one in there, and she was happy for that.

"Morning," the pep was gone from Sonny's voice. Nico knew that after her freak out the previous day something like this could happen.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Sonny gave a weak smile.

"Are you sure? Because you seem kinda down."

"I'm fine Nico," anger flowed out with her words, "I think I know how I'm feeling."

"Okay, sorry," Nick said before leaving.

Sonny stood alone in the prop house. She didn't want to go to her dressing room where Tawni was no doubt going to harass her about the previous day's events. She just wanted to go home and crawl into her bed and spend the day there.

"Hey Sonny!" Zora had just sauntered into the room wearing a duck costume.

"Hey Zora," Sonny gave the girl a weird look, "what's up with the duck?"

"New skit about the ugly duckling," Zora told her.

"Oh, when did you guys come up with that?" Sonny asked.

"Yesterday after you ran off I thought of it," she explained, "you're actually the first to hear about it."

"Awesome," Sonny said, distracted by the odd look of the duck. It looked like it had been beat up or something.

"So where's everybody at?" Zora noticed the lack of her cast mates in the prop house.

"I don't know, Nico just left after I got here," Sonny explained.

"Well they need to hurry up, we need to decide what new skits we're doing soon."

"I'll go find Tawni," Sonny reluctantly volunteered.

"Good luck," Zora told her, "I'll go get dumb and dumber."

Sonny laughed as she left to go see one person she rally didn't want to. She decided ti was better than having to see Chad at least. She was going to do everything she could to stay away from the blond actor. But once Sonny opened the door to the dressing room she shared with Tawni she got a surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Sonny asked Chad. She couldn't believe that he had been waiting in her dressing room.

"I wanted to talk to you," Chad said. Tawni was acting as if neither of them were there, and that angered Sonny.

"Come on Tawni, we have to get to the prop house," Sonny tried ignoring Chad and getting Tawni's attention. But both acts were futile. Tawni continued to brush her hair in the mirror and Chad continued talking.

"Please Sonny, I just want to help. You should know that after yesterday," he pleaded.

"Tawni," Sonny grabbed the girl's arm, "we have to go."

"I was trying to brush my hair!" Tawni snapped.

"You were also ignoring me," Sonny told her. "I don't want to talk to Chad and we have to meet the others. Now lets go." Tawni pouted and put down her hair brush. Sonny saw her give Chad some kind of apologetic look as she was dragged out of the room. "I can't believe you would help Chad to corner me!" Sonny yelled once Chad was out of earshot.

"Well I'm worried about you Sonny!" Tawni admitted. "Chad is the only one whom you seem to actually tell anything to anymore anyway!"

"What did he tell you?" Sonny was scared he had spilled her secret.

"Everything."
