Author's Note: Hey everyone! Sorry for taking forever to update! I had exams and what not, but I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that I passed grade ten, aha.
I really hope you like this chapter, minus the cliffy. Muahahaha!
Random Advice of the Day: If you have no money, don't spend the last of it on a bikini you'll never wear.
Disclaimer: I checked the papers over and over again, and none say that I won Sonny with a Chance. But on the plus side, I have the new episodes On Demand now! –dances-
Enjoy!
The blue jays outside of Sonny Munroe's window awoke her the next morning. She yawned and stretched, blinking a few times to adjust to the light pouring into her window. The rays of sunshine seeped through the leaves of the tree outside of her room, and she smiled to herself.
Suddenly, her phone went off. It was a text from Chad.
Are you ready? It read.
She smiled and replied:
Let's do this.

Chad Dylan Cooper shut his phone and paced nervously on the set of Mackenzie Falls. He and Sonny had talked the night before about what she wanted to do; stay on So Random! or join Mackenzie Falls. It was a long night, but at two in the morning, she finally decided.
"Chad! My main man," Gerard Henderson said as he approached the anxious teen star. "How are we this fine morning? Waiting for our new addition to the cast to arrive?" Gerard had a large grin plastered on his flawless face and Chad forced a smirk.
"She should be here any minute," he replied.
"Wonderful! You know where to go when she gets here, don't you, Chad?"
Chad fought to not punch Gerard in the face and run. Instead, Chad responded with, "Of course I do," and a wink. Gerard nodded and left, and Chad's face fell.
Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and instantly his smile reappeared.
"Good morning, Sunshine," Chad said to his girlfriend, leaning down and softly pecking her on the lips.
"Good morning, Chad," Sonny replied with that sparkle he loved so much. "So, where are we going?"
"Just over there," Chad said, pointing to a door at the other side of the set. "But first, before you do this, Sonny, I want you to know that I really do support you in what you decided. I'm here for you, even if you want to change your mind."
Sonny touched her hand to his cheek. "Thanks, Chad. But this is what I want. Now, let's do this."
She winked and Chad led her towards the audition room.

Audition Tape, Sonny Munroe for the part of Allison, Take One
Chad sat behind the camera and smiled reassuringly at Sonny.
"So, why are you here?" Chad asked, reading off of his script.
"To audition for the part of Allison, obviously," Sonny replied.
Chad slapped his hand to his forehead. "No, no, read your script, Sonny!"
Audition Tape, Sonny Munroe for the part of Allison, Take Two
"My name is Mackenzie," Chad read. "And yours?"
"Sonny Munroe."
"CUT!"
Audition Tape, Sonny Munroe for the part of Allison, Take Three
"I'm sure we'll see each other again, some day," Chad said in a whisper.
"Chad, I'll probably see you tomorrow. And I thought we were hanging out after this!"
"Stop! Cut! Stop taping!!"
Audition Tape, Sonny Munroe for the part of Allis—
"No, no more takes!" Gerard shouted. He marched angrily up to Sonny, looming over her menacingly. Chad stood up in an instantaneous reaction.
"Why not?" Sonny asked innocently. Chad made his way over to her and stood close.
"What are you doing?" Gerard asked in a harsh whisper, not wanting the camera, which was still rolling, to pick him up.
"I'm auditioning, like you wanted me to," Sonny replied. Gerard's dark brown eyes bore into hers, and she began feeling a little intimidated.
"No, you're not auditioning, you're wasting time and film, that is what you're doing! Now, smarten up and act. That's the reason you're here, Miss Munroe. Now, if you are going to continue to waste my time, please leave the room and go back to your little comedy show. But if you are serious about working on the best drama show on the network, then you had best show me and Mr. Condor you are willing to do so. Are we clear?"
Sonny nodded, wide-eyed. This man could be very frightening when he wanted to be.
"Excellent!" Gerard's smile returned and he relaxed. "Role camera!"
Chad kissed Sonny swiftly on the cheek and winked. "Take four," he whispered.

"Sonny!" Tawni shrieked as she shuffled down the hall towards the Hollywood couple. "What happened in the audition?? How did it go?"
Sonny laughed. "You'll see, Tawni, trust me."
"The cast is going nuts, Sonny. We're all so curious. Just tell me what you decided!"
"You're going to have to wait," Sonny said.
"Wait for what? Tawni Hart doesn't wait." She said the word with disgust, and Chad couldn't help but laugh. Tawni glared in his direction. "Don't laugh, Cooper. You're worse than me."
That shut him up.
"I'll tell you all when we go out to dinner tonight," Sonny said with a smile.
"We're going out to dinner?" Tawni asked curiously. She crossed her arms and added, "Since when?"
"Since now," Sonny replied. "I want to treat you all."
"Well," Tawni said. "That's….oddly nice of you."
Sonny shrugged. "I'm feeling generous today. I'll meet everyone at Red Lobster at seven tonight." She grabbed Chad's hand and they continued their walk.
They were at the end of the hall when they heard Tawni cry, "Oh my God! I need an outfit!!"
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
Sonny wrapped her silk scarf around her neck and checked herself out in her full-length mirror at home. She was wearing her favourite pair of dark blue jeans and a soft green V-neck shirt. Her scarf was a birthday gift from Tawni last year, and it was blue Egyptian silk with scattered rhinestones. It was the kind of scarf that looked good with everything, and made everything look good.
There was a knock at the door, breaking Sonny out of her trance. "Come in!" she shouted.
The door opened slowly and Chad Dylan Cooper walked in. "Wow," he said. "You look great. But you do know it's just dinner, right?" He walked up and stood behind her, placing his hands on her hips and resting his chin on her shoulder, looking in the mirror.
"Yes, I know it's just dinner. But I felt like dressing up a bit. Something wrong with that?" She turned around and faced him, his hands still on her hips.
"Nope, nothing's wrong with that," he said, kissing her. "Ready to go?"
Sonny nodded and Chad led her to his limo, which waited for them outside.

"What do you think she did?" Nico asked nervously at the dinner table. Grady's legs bounced up and down impatiently and Tawni flipped her hair. Zora played with her fork as the So Random! cast waited for Sonny to arrive.
"I doubt she left our show, Nico," Grady said, mostly to reassure himself. "Sonny wouldn't do that."
"I know she didn't. She wouldn't. She loves us," Tawni added.
Zora threw her fork down. "Do you guys not remember what we did to her? We didn't support her when she needed it. I wouldn't be surprised if she left."
The gang nodded sadly in unison.
"Hey guys," Sonny said as she approached the table, Chad following closely behind. Nico and Grady scowled at the Mackenzie Falls star, but caught themselves. They didn't want to cause any more drama.
Sonny sat down and Chad sat next to her. He didn't want to say much tonight; he didn't want to piss off Sonny's friends. She was in a spectacular mood and he didn't want to ruin it.
"So, I know you're all probably wondering why I called you here," Sonny said.
"Not really," Nico said. "Tawni already told us."
"Oh," Sonny said. "Okay, well then I know you're all probably wondering what I'm about to say…"
She waited to see if anyone would interrupt, but when it was silent, she continued. "The issue at hand was whether or not I joined Mackenzie Falls," she glanced at Chad. "Or stay with So Random!."
Everyone shifted impatiently in their seats.
"I had my audition today, and--"
"Just get to the point, Sonny!" Tawni said.
"Okay, okay," Sonny laughed. "Basically, I've decided that--"
Moo! Moo! Moo!
Everyone groaned.
"Hold on one minute," Sonny said. She stood up and made her way to the bathroom hallway, where the reception was the best.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Sonny Munroe?" A deep voice on the other end said.
Sonny's eyebrows furrowed together and she said, "Yes, it is. Who is this?"
"This is Mr. Condor."
Author's Note: I know, don't hate me. Haha.
Reviewing would be great, though!
Peace, Love, and Summer,
