AN: Hey! There's an awesome thunderstorm going on, so randomly I decided to jump on a computer and write! Sorry it's been forever! School's a hassle and I've been watching Death Note. :) So anyway, enjoy! Rinny out.

Chapter 7

SPOV

My head jerked up to stare him in the eyes. He remained completely serious, so I sighed and thought about it for a moment.

"I have to think about it," I remained after a bit of thought. He bit his lip with a small smile.

"Oh come on, Sonshine. Please," he begged me with a sparkle in his eyes once more. I wasn't going to let him get to me, I thought to myself. I was going to fight his cheesy scripts. I really wouldn't have mind being on his show, but he expected me to agree blindly if he gave me his "look." So I was going to prove him wrong.

"Maybe. Let's just leave this party, all right? This music is giving me a headache," I groaned. His "look" was more powerful than I expected. He gave me a smile and grabbed my hand as we left the dance floor. I waved to Selena and she smiled and yelled me a goodbye. We left the fancy house and hopped into his limo. The driver smiled at us in the mirror and drove away. I noticed we were heading in the wrong direction immediately.

"Excuse me, sir? My house is in the down the street back there," I explained with a sweet smile. Chad nodded.

"Yeah, what gives Nate?" he added, earning a keen smirk from the driver, who was apparently named Nate.

"First, it's Joseph, and second, your director called and needs you, Sonny at the studio," Nate, make that Joseph said. Chad looked at me and I shrugged. He turned back to Joseph and nodded slightly.

"All right. You can drop me off there as well," he informed the man behind the wheel. We arrived at the studios with full anticipation of why Marshall would need me there at the late hour. We walked into the So Random studio and saw the remaining cast, excluding Zora (but who ever really knew where she was at any time) relaxing on the couch in the Prop House, as Marshall hovered over them. I joined my friends on the cast as Chad sat next to me, holding my hand.

"Wait, Sonny's banned!" Tawni complained, putting her lip-gloss down in anger. I shot her an annoyed glare and Marshall wiped his sweaty forehead.

"It doesn't matter now. We have worst problems," Marshall spoke with hast. Tawni gave me an uncertain frown.

"Worst than Sonny's unholy outfit ruining my pretty zone?" Tawni asked, scooting away from me. Chad shook his head with irritation, but decided to ignore her anyway.

"Tawni, enough. Here's why I needed you here so late," he began. "There's a new show on the station and it passing us in views. I just talked to Mr. Condor and he told me that if we don't get our ratings higher, he'll cut our show." Gasps escaped every cast member's lips at the same moment. We all stared at Marshall in disbelief. He nodded, confirming reality.

"Wait, what's the show?" Zora asked, stepping out of her sarcophagus. Even if we all knew her for years, we all were a bit scared at her sudden appearance. Marshall sighed.

"I can't remember exactly. Something like Werewolf Journal? Dog Notebook? Uh-" Our director was cut off by Tawni, who jumped up with her hands to her heart and all our curious eyes on her.

"Werewolf Diaries?" she gasped with an excited expression overwhelming her face. Marshall nodded, his inquisitiveness not shrinking. "That's my favorite show in the world!" she proclaimed.

"With all the shirtless guys, romance, and suspense? Who wouldn't like that show?" she asked to no one in particular. At last, she noticed everyone in the room was staring at her.

"You don't watch that show, do you?" Grady whispered to Nico. He turned to his best friend and shook his head. Grady sunk lower into the couch. "Yeah, pff. Me neither," he added, blushing discreetly to his friend in the hat.

"So anyway. What do you plan to do Marshall?" I asked being the only concerned one in the room. Except Zora, Marshall, and Chad, I suppose. I was never sure what Zora was thinking, but seeming, as her IQ was higher than most 13 year olds, I suspected she was thinking of a plan.

"Me?" Marshall reacted with surprise. "No, I don't have a clue. I was hoping you all would have a plan," he said with a shrug. He sighed. "Well, until we come up with a plan, you can all go home for tonight." My cast got up without a second look at me. I stopped them from leaving with words.

"Come on, guys! You can't ignore me forever!" I exclaimed. Tawni turned around.

"Hey, I ignored you to leave from the beginning, so don't have any doubt I can keep it up," she told me. Chad placed his arm around my shoulder and my cast moaned and complained.

"Hey!" I caught their attention. My mind was reeling as they turned to me. I needed a plan. "Listen, I know I didn't tell you, but what's done is done! And if I have to prove my randomness I will! I have a plan to get even more views!" I announced. Everyone, including Chad gave me a questioning look.

"More views than Werewolf Diaries?" asked Zora. I nodded with my arms crossed in confidence.

"So your saying we can achieve more people watching without cute guys with abs?" Tawni asked me. "And don't even think that we could use Chad for that. I just don't think my eyes could handle that monstrosity," Tawni complained with drama in her voice. I rolled my eyes.

"No, this doesn't involve Chad-"

"Hey!" Chad cut in. I ignored him for the moment.

"Or cute guys with abs-"

"Are you implying I'm not cute with abs?" Chad cut in once more.

"Yes," Tawni, Zora, Nico, and Grady agreed at once. I groaned in frustration.

"Listen to me!" I yelped. Everyone looked back to me, as they grew silent. I smiled. "Good."

"Good," Chad replied.

"Not now. Anyway, I have a plan that doesn't involve anything but us and a new guest star," I said with a smile.

"At least it's not going to be Chad guest starring," Nico muttered. I glared at him for a moment.

"All right. Let's here this guest star's name, Sonny," Tawni said. I smiled. The plan had come to me. If it would work, I wasn't sure. But I knew it might, and I was willing to take chances.

"Oh no," Chad responded, reading me like an open book. I smirked. He knew me too well for his own good. I nodded.

"Oh yes." Even if Chad had his jealousy issues, if Chris agreed to this, the ratings would fly. But I doubted Chris would turn me down. And if that was the case, my loyalty would be renewed and my ban lifted for good. But for that moment, one could only hope.
