I will hopefully have this finished tonight. Have fun! :)

"Here Birdie Birdie!"

Clothes were flying out of the closet like missiles as Chad sought frantically for that bird.
The place was a mess. He had looked everywhere- in the bathroom, bathroom closet,
under the couch, under the bathroom sink. He had even searched threw large drawers.
He asked some of the janitors that were around and they hadn't seen anything.
Chad finally stopped his digging and rested his back on the wall.

"Where did he go?"

The thought hit Chad that maybe someone had broken in through the window.
He went over and began to dial. "Sonshine" the keypad released the window.
He glanced outside but didn't see any signs of an intruder.

Finally he gave up. There was only one last hope. He was going to have to pay Sonny a little visit.

Sonny walked in her door. Her apartment was free from bugs and there was a fresh smell of flowers in the air.

Connie smiled at her from the kitchen "Welcome back Willy!"

Sonny placed him on the coffee table. "I think I am happier he's home than he is"

Sonny grabbed some chips from the bowl her mom brought in and shoved them in her mouth.

"I'm starving" She admitted through a mouth full of chips.

Connie offered her a soda. "Was it that hard to have him there?"

Sonny nodded. "We weren't suppose to have him there in the first place. Then Chad got a hold of the bird.
He thought it was for his show and 'took it under his wing'. Needless to say it took every ounce of energy to get that bird back.
I would have died if he would have had him for too long."

She grabbed more chips.

"Why is that?"

Sonny slowed her chewing "Well... You know Chad. If he found out it belonged to a 'random' he would do anything to get us in trouble."

"Oh yeah, that would be bad."

"Yeah, But I got it back."

"Well, that's good..." Connie stood. "Let's just hope that bird didn't tell Chad you like him."

Sonny dropped her jaw.

Connie chuckled. "Sonny, really, it's insulting that you think a bird can figure it out and not your mom."

Her mom gave her a wink and went to check on dinner.

Sonny leaned back on the couch and hugged her knees to her chest. "I do like him, don't I." The realization made her smile.

She closed her eyes and for the first time in a week was able to relax. It felt pretty good to admit that, even to herself.

"Squawk, Sonny loves Chad." Sonny laughed and looked at her pet. "I know. Stop showing off"

"Squawk, Chad loves Sonny" Sonny's eyes widened. "What?"

"Squawk, Sonnys a cutie, Sonnys a cutie"

Sonny sat up "What did you say?"

"Squawk, Sonnys beautiful, squawk, Sonnys beautiful"

Sonny sat back again. She looked at the bird. Her brow lowered.
She wanted to think Chad had said these things but it was hard to believe.
She wanted to keep getting that bird to talk. A smile came to her face...

Chad turned down another street searching for the right apartment building. He had gone to Sonny's dressing room; but,
Tawni informed him that she had already gone and taken that 'annoying bird' with her.

He couldn't figure out a good reason for showing up but he assumed Chad Dylan Cooper could always think on his feet.
When he got there he would be able to pull something off.

Sonny shuffled through the last of her Tween Weekly collection. She threw them to the floor and spread them out.

"Alright, Willy" She set the bird down beside her. She smiled as she looked at her collection. She laid down on the floor and began to sort through them.
She had collected a variety of photos.
(Of one Mackenzie Falls star in particular)

The pictures covered a wide range. From childhood commercials to newest Hollywood party releases. There was a special issue
that entailed the whole career of the drama star.
At the time she thought it was really stupid but once she saw all of the pictures it would add to her collection. She appreciated it more.

She sighed as she looked at the photos of him with beautiful girls.

She glanced at the bird. "What did he say about Chelsea?"

The bird tilted his head at her in confusion but didn't answer.

She turned back to the photos. The 'Randoms' put up a good front. But, in all honesty she knew they could never compete with that 'mega drama'
and she could never hope to compete with girls like this.

She looked at other pictures and smiled. She could see something in Chad that she didn't think anyone else could see and she liked that.
She wasn't the kind of girl to go after "bad boys" by any stretch of the imagination, but Chad was different. He was rotten, but not a hopeless case.
When it really came down to it, he always did the right thing- she had great confidence in him as far as that was concerned.
His sweet moments were some of the sweetest she had known. She felt like she probably had a little pull on his heart as well; but, she wasn't sure.

"Squawk, quite a sight, squawk, quite a sight."

Sonny laughed. "He probably taught you to say that."

She glanced at the pictures and then lowered her brow at the bird. He waddled over and nuzzled her hand.

"Don't try to butter me up, you're still in big trouble." She rubbed the back of his neck and smiled at him.

Sonny scooped the bird up, grabbed a photo and plopped down onto the bed.

Willy hopped onto her side table. She turned her gaze from the photo to the bird. A sly smile crept up. "What else did he say?"

"Sonny, I didn't know you lived here. You got that bird?"

Chad rolled his eyes. That was the worst of the five excuses he had thought of in the last thirty minutes.
He paced back and forth in front of the building.

Rubbing his eyes, he sighed. "Uh, this is giving me such a headache. I'm just going up."

He took a deep breath and walked into the lobby.

Sonny laid down on her bed, smiling up at the ceiling. 'Charming' 'Cute' 'Funny' 'Adorable'... these were just a few of the terms this bird had pulled out of Chad.
She couldn't be sure they were his words unless a situation played out to her benefit. She wasn't about to go and accuse him of saying these things about her.
If she was wrong she would be mortified and he would never let her live it down. It was nice to think that he said them either way.

Sonny's thoughts were interrupted by her doorbell.

"Sonny would you get that! I'm about to burn these cookies!"

Sonny jumped off the bed.

"Hey" Chad smiled as Sonny opened the door.

"Hey" Sonny smiled wide, forgetting this was Chad and not a photo that couldn't consider her reaction.

Chad laughed "Glad to see me?"

Sonny dropped her smile. 'oops'

"Uh, yeah I was needing your help..."

She sought the room for some reason to need him- a broken tv, a light bulb that needs changing... anything would do!

"Uh, homework!" She smiled.

Chad lowered his brow. "You want my help you with homework?"

"Uh, yeah"

"Sonny, who is it?" Connie's voice echoed.

Sonny bit her lip. "Just a friend, mom."

"Oh, they can stay for supper if you want"

"Um..." she looked at Chad. He lifted a brow.

Sonny let out a sigh, "Ok, thanks mom".

Chad smiled and walked inside. Thankfully he didn't have to bother with the excuses.
She seemed to be the one needing them especially when he caught sight of what she was holding.

"Uh, Sonny?"

"I'll be right back." She tossed the paper down and went into the kitchen.

Chad lifted it and smiled. He had never been so happy to see someone walking around with his picture.

"Sorry..."

Chad placed the photo face down as Sonny returned.

"Here are some cookies. My mom just happened to be popping them out."

"Yum, thanks"

He purposefully slid the paper aside as he grabbed a cookie. He knew it would draw her attention and she could grab it
before she got embarrassed. He was cutting her a break.

"No problem"

She noticed the photo, casually grabbed it and slid it under the couch with a pasted smile.

Sonny grabbed a cookie and popped it in her mouth. She wanted to fill the awkward silence. But, didn't feel up to discussing anything.
She had been caught way off guard and didn't know what to say. Then she realized something.

"Why did you come over, Chad?"

'Oh, shoot' Now that excuse would have come in handy.

"I just remembered that I needed to see Philly for a second"

"Who?"

Chad glanced over at her confused look. "Uh, Philly... the bird"

Sonny laughed "His name is Willy."

He smiled.

She loved those eyes. "He's in my room."

"Thanks" He stood and made his way over.

She shoved a cookie in her mouth. Her eyes shot wide. "No, Wait!"

But, it was too late.
