Disclaimer: I don't own Sonny With a Chance.

Sonny hurried through the parking lot and then through the maze of hallways running through stage 2. She finally found the door marked with a big, gold star that was labeled "Chad Dylan Cooper". She knocked, waited for Chad's call, and when it came, went in. Chad was propped up in his bed again. Sonny sat down to catch her breath; she was tired from running all that way. She was worried when Chad didn't finish his text message. After regaining her composure, she smiled at Chad.

"What do you need?"

"I need, uh, oh man! I forgot what I needed!" Chad lied. He must've looked somewhat believable in his act because Sonny didn't think twice about it.

"Well, that's okay. I'm here now. Feeling any better?"

"A little. How long do these things take to go away?" Chad asked, glancing at the vesicles on his arm.

"About a week. The flu symptoms should go away by tomorrow or the day after."

Chad smiled.

"What a relief. I'm sick of feeling this way."

Sonny smiled again and moved herself to the chair beside his bed. Chad and Sonny just sat there, enjoying the company and the silence. Neither one of them wanted to admit it, but the silence wasn't uncomfortable and the company was pleasant. Eventually, they began a conversation about life in their hometowns when there was a knock at the door. Without waiting for an answer, Portlyn walked in. She gasped and stopped in her tracks when she saw Sonny and Chad laughing together.

"Chad? What is she doing here?" Portlyn hissed, pointing to Sonny. Before Chad could answer, Sonny spoke up.

"She has a name; it's Sonny."

Chad looked at Sonny, proud for the way she had stood up to Portlyn like that. Then he turned back to Portlyn.

"She's visiting me."

"But you said you didn't want any visitors!" Portlyn cried out, mad that Chad Dylan Cooper had chosen Sonny, from the rival show, instead of her, his fellow cast-mate.

Chad thought quickly.

"Uh, well, she came to check on me. Just to make sure I was alright."

"You wouldn't let me check on you! I was going to make sure you were alright too!"

Chad was beginning to lose his patience. With his patience, he lost all his arguments. Finally, he just burst out,

"Look, Portlyn. I didn't want you; I wanted Sonny."

The moment after the words had left Chad's mouth, time seemed to freeze. Portlyn and Sonny's mouth both fell open and Chad's cheeks turned red. Portlyn then stomped out of his dressing room, slamming the door and Sonny continued staring at Chad with her mouth hanging open. Chad playfully reached out and closed her mouth for her. It fell open again. Finally, Sonny found her voice.

"What did you just say?"

"I said I wanted you." Chad answered with confidence. He had realized he was in this all the way and he wasn't backing out.

"Why?" Sonny wanted to know. Chad thought for just a moment that he could share his true feelings with her, but then he opted for a lie.

"Well, it's just, you seem like a better nurse than Portlyn."

"Really?"

"Sonny, Portlyn doesn't really know what to say unless it's written in a script. You, you've got spunk." Chad managed to say some of the truth. Sonny smiled.

"Well, I'm glad I could make you feel better."

"You have, Sonny. You remember that text message?" Chad looked Sonny in the eye and Sonny knew Chad was being sincere.

"Yeah?"

"Well, what I needed…was you."

A/N: So, one of my reviewers was dead on with her guess! There's some very cute Chonny moments in here, if I do say so myself. Enjoy and review!
