Me: So, I was thinking…maybe we should just forget about the Sonny with a Chance thing.

My friend: Oh…that's so nice.

Me: Yeah…but what will we do with our lives, now that I won't be asking you about it anymore?

My friend: I…I don't know. I'm so confused! (Starts to cry.)

Me: It's okay. (Comforts.)

My friend: But it's probably for the best!

Me: Wait…what? Hey, I never said I was serious! (Friend runs away.)

Anyway, I don't own Sonny with a Chance yet. Yeah, that was probably my longest chapter yet. I give this chapter to anyone who has reviewed so far! Thanks you guys.

I froze. My pulse was racing; my head was spinning. Chad. Chad wanted to talk to me. I suddenly felt nervous. He wanted to talk. This seemed to be the only fact I could wrap my head around.

What would he say? Would he yell at me? Would he feel like having a long talk? The thought made me giggle. Chad might be dramatic, but when it came to talking about his feelings, he kind of just shunned you until his problems went away, or they resolved themselves. Hmmm…

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I couldn't even see Zora snapping her fingers in my face.

"Sonny, are you alright? What does the card say?" she said, and I shook my head to clear my mind.

"Um, nothing," I muttered. I didn't really want her to know.

"Sonny, I'm going to found out anyway, so you'd better not make this complicated." Zora raised her eyebrows, and I sighed, then gave in. it wasn't like the note said anything embarrassing.

"Um, Chad wants to talk to me later," I muttered, and she rolled her eyes.

"Is that it? Really? I was hoping he'd made some declaration of love, or something," she said, and my eyes widened.

"Uh, why did you want him to do that?" I asked, and she grinned evilly.

"Well, I'm sure that Tween Weekly would be very interested in that little story. In fact, it could even make a front page issue." She laughed, and I rolled my eyes.

"Well, to bad," I said, and marched out of the room.

Of course, on my way, I bumped into Tawni.

"Were the flowers being delivered for me?" she demanded.

"No, it was for me," I muttered.

"Hey, Sonny…I'm still really sorry about what I did, and I hope that you're not still mad at me," she said, staring down at the floor.

"It's really okay, Tawni. I'm kind of over it, I guess," I said, a hint of a smile in my voice.

"Well, things are going okay with Chad, though, aren't they?" she asked hopefully.

I forced a smile. "Um, yeah, it's fine." I wouldn't know until later, though.

I pushed my way past her until I ended up in the cafeteria.

Something was telling me that I'd ended up in this room far too often lately.

I walked over to the yogurt machine and smiled. So many different things had happened at that machine. Okay, they all involved yogurt, but they were still special! For example, Nico and Grady had tried to drink from the machine here. And…and Chad and I had met here for the first time. Funny, it seemed so long ago.

I missed those days. When we were all just rivals, and I couldn't stand Chad. I smiled at the thought of those days.

I decided to go back to my apartment.

There, I did my best to pick out an outfit. I wasn't very good at this; it was more Tawni's thing.

In the end, I put on a simple green blouse, and a pair of jeans. I let my hair dangle loose, and threw on a silver necklace. I looked in the mirror.

I had to say, I looked pretty good. I twirled once and smiled at my reflection. But my smile froze as I realized something.

I wasn't on a date with Chad, was I? No. He'd just invited me out for a walk. That was all. So I'd better make myself look, well…not as nice.

I put my hair in a ponytail, took off the necklace, and threw it on the couch. There, that was better.

I sat down on the couch and leaned my head back against a pillow. I picked up the necklace and twirled it around in my fingers.

It was really just multiple silver chains attached to each other, the kind that hung really low, and could be worn with almost anything. Well, I thought so, but Tawni constantly told me otherwise. I sighed.

Why was I so anxious to fix this? It was only then that something occurred to me: Chad and I had never really talked about liking each other. Honestly, it just never really came up.

I grabbed the phone and dialed Tawni's number.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Tawni, it's me Sonny." But she wasn't saying anything.

"Hi, I'm not here right now, and won't be back for three hours. If you were cool enough, I might bother calling you back. But considering you called this phone, you're obviously not! Good-bye, whatever lose-" The machine cut off, and I rolled my eyes. Tawni was always bad at leaving voicemail.

I looked at the clock. Six-thirty. I might as well get going, because it took twenty-five minutes to walk to the studio.

On my way, I breathed in the warm Spring air. It was fresh, and almost sweet. It made me smile. Spring is my favourite season, although a lot of people figure it must be Summer, because of my name. But I actually don't like Summer that much- it's too hot for my taste.

Chad hadn't shown up yet when I arrived. A small part of me feared that he wasn't showing up. But those thoughts changed when I saw him walking towards me. My stomach tightened, and my teeth clenched together.

Chad's POV

I felt a wave of relief as I saw her standing there. I had though that she wouldn't show up, and my stomach had been twisted into a ball of fear all day.

But there she was. Her hair was tied in a loose ponytail, and she was a green shirt and jeans. I honestly though she'd never looked prettier.

"Hey," I mumbled, and she gave me a small smile.

"Hey."

I smiled back at her.

"Um, ready to go?" I asked, and she nodded. We set off.

For the first few minutes, we walked in silence. There wasn't any noise except for the rustle of the wind.

"Look, Sonny…I just…I'm sorry," I said, and she looked up. There was surprise on her face.

"Chad, you're saying sorry?" she demanded, and my faced turned red.

"Well, I thought that that was what you wanted to here!" I cried, and she rolled her eyes.

"Chad, for this last couple of weeks, you've been a big a jerk as everyone always said you were. You've made me feel like dirt, and you blamed me for everything, without looking for answers. Sorry just doesn't quite cut it." She looked down at the ground again.

"Sonny, you blamed me, too! You thought that I called the media, and you thought that I was playing a joke on you with that e-mail. Well, I was serious! Honestly, I have feelings, too." I was feeling quite breathless now.

"Shut up, Chad! I may have thought that you had a small crush on me, but then it was ruined. Tawni's fault or not, you just kept blaming me, and never bothered to ask for the truth! Everything in your life has to be so dramatic, doesn't it? Why can't you just look for a simple answer for once?" She was really mad now. It occurred to me now that we were yelling.

"Okay, true, but you didn't either! You never said 'Hey, Chad, what's the truth?' So in my opinion, you were just as much to blame as me!"

"Yeah, but you're the boy in this situation. Most boys are capable of getting up and asking for the truth!"

"No, we're not! Guys just get mad at people, and then they get over it! But that's the problem with fighting with you- or any girl! You just don't let things go, do you?"

"Chad, you take advantage of girls, just to make you look better! I don't think you've ever really liked a girl. You think that if Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't have a girlfriend, his world will end!"

"But that's the point! Maybe I didn't like those girls, but I had to keep up the public image! You see, Sonny, it's an image! Only the people who don't fall for my charm, and like me for who I am, know that I don't like keeping up that image! It's awful." My voice was trembling a little.

"But you don't see anyone else trying to do that! And why can't other people know you? Why do you have to have this ridiculous Chad Dylan Cooper thing? It drives everybody nuts!"

"Why are we yelling?" I asked suddenly, and Sonny, who had been about to say something, abrupt shut her mouth. She glared.

"Because I need to get my point across," she muttered darkly.

"Okay, what is your point?" I questioned, and she sighed.

"Well…I've seen a bit of what you're really like, Chad, and I get why you do nice things. You do them for the people who aren't using you for your fame, for the ones who, when it comes down to it, would stand by you as friends. And here's the truth, Chad: I was your friend. And I…well, I liked you. Actually, I really liked you. And Chad…I know how you feel." She smiled, and after a moment's hesitation, I smiled back.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean about the image. I just…I always hate how you can't like something because your friends don't, or that things isn't cool anymore. And I'm kind of the opposite. I think you are, too, deep down. You don't want other people to really see who you are, but inside, you love all these different things that would generally embarrass you." She laughed for the first time since we'd started walking.

"So, Sonny…I liked you too. Crazy, I know, but I did. And you're right about me. Actually, you're really right about me." My eyes were laughing, I could tell, but my face was serious.

"Really, Chad, really?" she asked, and that was it. I started to laugh. Hard. And it was all easier from there.

"Want to hear a funny story, Sonny? A couple days ago, when we were filming a scene for Mackenzie Falls, Devon had to crack a whip- for no particular reason- and I kneeled over laughing, it was so funny. Honestly, I've never laughed so much over the show before. You would've found it funny," I said, and she giggled.

"Want to know a secret of mine? Here's the truth: I watch Mackenzie Falls," she whispered, and I stared in shock at her.

"I knew you liked it! So, what's your favourite episode?" I asked, resting my elbows on a stone wall, and leaning forward, as if I cared deeply.

"Probably the one where you find out that you have an evil twin brother, and he's like 'I'm not your half brother, I'm your whole brother.' I laughed so hard when I saw that," she said, and my mouth fell open in a perfect O.

"That wasn't supposed to be funny! It was dramatic!" I exclaimed, and she snickered.

"Chad, no offense, but I watch the show because it's so ridiculous, it makes me laugh! I mean, you should see the promos: 'She made a deal with the Devon.' Seriously, who writes that stuff?" she said, and I rolled my eyes, but then I grinned.

"Yeah, I could see how it could be funny. But Sonny, I'm glad that we're talking this all out," I said, and I expected her to agree, but she just scowled.

"Actually, I forgot. And you owe me an apology," she cried, and I laughed bitterly.

"You should apologize to me! You were just as much to blame as me!" Our voices had gone up an octave.

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

The next part didn't come out. Instead, I grabbed Sonny's shoulders, and I kissed her.

"So, how's that for apologies?" I asked, and she just stared.

Sonny's POV

I froze, my mind spinning. Chad had kissed me. Chad had kissed me. I couldn't wrap my head around this fact.

And it all became clear to me.

I still liked him. Yes. I remembered all the things he'd done wrong, and everything that had happened, and none of it really mattered. Because now I knew how he felt. The truth.

"Yeah…yeah, I think that's a pretty good apology," I whispered, and he smiled.

"So…what now?" he asked.

"I don't know…but I do like you, Chad, and I don't want to ruin this right now. So…we could try going out on a date or something. I don't know. I think my cast mates would just be glad that we were finally together." I glanced at him hopefully.

"So…so we're going to try this? Just to see how it works out?" he inquired.

"Yeah, but I think it'll be okay. I hope. Anyway, are we good?" I asked.

He grinned. "Yeah, Sonny. We're definitely good."

We started to walk back to the studio. We didn't speak. I didn't want to, though. Everything was better now, I could safely assume.

Wow. It was kind of weird, now that me and Chad wouldn't be constantly arguing anymore. Or maybe we would; I had no idea. But the future was bright. I think.

"See you, Sonny," he said with a smile, and I waved, then continued on to my house. Yes, things were definitely getting better.

Okay, what did you guys think? I might write a kind of epilogue thing, but I'm not sure. If enough people want me to, then I will. As usual, review. I haven't really gotten too many reviews (I only got two on the last chapter) but it reminds me of the people who did review, and I'm pretty grateful towards them.

Anyway, if I do write an epilogue, then I'm going to count up the reviews, and dedicate it to the person who reviews the most. Does that sound fun, or is it a dumb idea?

Oh, and has anyone ever done the "Sonny watches Mackenzie Falls so she can laugh at it" thing before? I've never seen it, so I threw that in for fun. My sister and me would watch the minisodes and made us laugh so hard. Anyway, thanks again for everyone who has supported me with this story.

Oh, and songs that I listened to while I wrote this:

"Welcome to my life" by Simple Plan.

"High School Never Ends" by Bowling for Soup.

Thanks for reading, you guys!
