Sonny and Chad had swam back to shore, and were now sitting or standing in the sand. Sonny was still breathless over what happened.
"Chad, you saved me." She breathed.

"No, I didn't," Chad said, shaking his head.
ago

"Yes, you did." Sonny replied. "You saved me!"

"So, you're saying you can't swim?" Chad asked.

"Not really," Sonny admitted sheepishly.

"Oh," Chad said. "Well, then, you're welcome."

Sonny smiled. She couldn't believe that Chad Dylan Cooper would risk his life to save her. This made her incredibly happy.

"Just don't make a big deal about it," Chad told her.

Sonny nodded. Thought, on the inside it was already a big deal. The guy of her life just saved her life. Did he feel the same or was he just saving her cause it was the right thing to do?

Chad just sat there awkwardly, picking at the grass.

"So..." Sonny said, trying to start conversation.

"So what?" he asked.

"Thanks again." Sonny smiled.

"You're welcome," Chad said.

"So, Chad," Sonny cleared her throat. "Why did you save me?"

"Why wouldn't I?" he asked. "I mean, other than the fact that it's the right thing to do, you're really important to me."

Sonny couldn't belive what he had said. She felt a tear forming in her eye. She couldnt believe she was special to the guy she had fallen for. Forgetting that to her this was a bad thing, she said,
"I-I-I am?"

"Yeah. I know we fight sometimes, but when it really counts, you've got my back," he said, grabbing her hand and stroking it.

Sonny smiled at him. "Oh, Chad Dylan" She whispered. Chad leaned in and kissed her softly Sonny, at first, widened her eyes, but then she melted in the kiss. A warm sensation flooded within her. It just felt so right kissing Chad Dylan Cooper. But, it also felt wrong. She couldn't do this to Chad. So, she pulled away.

"W-what's wrong?" Chad asked, hurt.

Sonny thought on what to say, but she had no idea how to tell him. To tell him that she might possibly die. She just couldn't do it.

Sonny then ran off and onto the bus. She ran to the very back, sat down and began to cry.

Chad looked around, feeling confused and embarrassed. Was it something he had said? Or was it the kiss? It seemed to make her upset. But he was sure she liked him. I guess not.

Chloe walked over to him, "Hey, what's up?"

"Did you see Sonny?" he asked.

"Yeah, she ran over to the bus." Chloe responded.

"Did she look upset?" he asked nervously.

"Confused is more like it."

"Oh," was all he could say.

"Yeah, we got to start loading on the bus now." Chloe replied.

Chad sighed and walked on.
Chloe headed over to the bus, after waving over to Nico. She sat by Portlyn, her best friend.

Chad sat beside his partner.
"Sonny?" he asked nervously.

Sonny looked up at him and wiped away a tear. "Yes?"

"What's wrong?" he asked.

She shook her head, "Don't worry about it, Chad. It's just something personal."

"What?" he asked curiously.

"I don't- I dont want to talk about it." Sonny turned her head. She turned back to look at him, "So, why'd you kiss me, Chad?"

He took a big breath.
"Because I like you."

Sonny's eyes widened. She couldn't believe it. Did Chad Dylan Cooper just say that he likes her?
Chad Dylan Cooper likes Sonny Monroe?
"You like me?"

She looked up at him with her big brown eyes.

He nodded.
"Yeah."

Sonny smiled, "I like you too."
"Really?" he grinned.

Sonny nodded, "Really."

"Good," he smiled.

"Good." Sonny smiled back.

"Fine," Chad said.

"Fine"

"So, will you go out with me?" he asked.

Sonny eagerly nodded.
"Of course, Chad."

"Good," he said once again.

Later that night, Sonny was in her dressing room, dressed and ready for her date with Chad Dylan Cooper. Her nerves were unsettled. She was nervous, yet exited about her date.

Chad was feeling anxious as well as he knocked on her door.

Sonny opened the door. A million butterflies were soaring in her stomach. "Hey Chad," She grinned.

"Hey," he greeted.

She smiled at him, hoping he may compliment her dark pink dress, that went well below the knees and dark jean jacket. She was wearing dark pink strap heels.

"You look great," he offered.
"Awe, thanks." Sonny grinned. "You look great too."

"Thanks," he smiled. "You ready to go?"

"Yep!" Sonny beamed.

They arrived at the beach. Chad set up the picnic and he sat down on the blanket.

Sonny sat down, and breathed in the fresh ocean water.
"This is really nice, Chad."

"Thanks," he said.

"You're welcome." Sonny smiled. "The water is just so beautiful."

"Yeah, I haven't been here in a while," Chad said.

"Yeah, me neither." Sonny replied.

"I'm glad I get to come here with you," he smiled.

"Awe," Sonny gushed, "me too. I'm glad I get to come here with you, I mean."

"Thanks," he laughed.

"You're welcome," Sonny smiled.

He took a bite of his baloney sandwhich.

Sonny took a bite of her sandwich and looked up at the stars.
"They're so beautiful," She whispered.

"Yeah, you don't really see stars anymore in LA," nodded Chad.

Sonny nodded, still admiring the stars.

"Did you look at the stars a lot in Wisconsin?" Chad asked.

Sonny nodded, "All the time. I even have a telescope. I want to make a bigger one so I can observe the comet that's coming here this june."

"Huh, that's cool," Chad said. "Maybe I could help you."

"You would do that?" Sonny asked, taking a bite of a grape.

"Of course," he nodded. "I'd get to spend time with you."

"Awe," Sonny cooed. "That's so sweet, Chad."

He sheepishly shrugged.

Sonny smiled at him.

The two contiued to eat, as they talked and laughed. The night went well and it was time to end the date. Chad and Sonny were standing outside Sonny's apartment

"I had a good time," Chad said.

"Me too," Sonny grinned.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow," Chad said, fearing that if he kissed her, she'd run away again.

"Okay," Sonny said, disappointed he wasn't going to kiss her.
