Wooowww... okay, so I haven't updated this story in FOREVER, so I'm really sorry 'bout that. :( What did you guys all think of WAMIMP and SGYG? I personally thought SGYG was a little... weird, but I loved Chad selling Glendovian products. Priceless! :D

Oh, yeah, a quick WARNING: This chapter has a little more... mature humor than the other ones, but it's still a T.

Disclaimer: I don't own SWAC. Chad?

Chad: Why do you always write me into your disclaimers?

Me: I dunno. You make them more interesting, I guess.

Chad: Well, of course I do. I'm Chad Dylan Cooper. *pops collar*

Me: Stop being such a jerk or Chad Dylan Cooper will wake up one morning with dog poop in his hair.

Chad: NOOO NOT MY PRECIOUS HAIR!

Cloudy with a Chance of Channy - Chapter Nine

Of Pillow Fights and Table Readings

As expected, Sonny's announcement was met with an outburst of fury and outrage. All Tawni, Grady, Nico, Zora and Dani all leapt to their feet and began yelling at Sonny and Chad.

"You can't join MacKenzie Falls, Sonny!"

"They're the enemy!"

"They're EVIL!"

"How could you do this to us?!"

"I like chocolate covered walnuts!" The yelling stopped as everyone turned to look at Dani strangely. Dani just shrugged. "What? I'm craving chocolate and walnuts." Sonny took this opportunity to jump in.

"Guys, calm down!" she cried, looking upset. "It's not that big of a deal!"

"Yeah!" Dani piped up again. "At least she's not pregnant!" Everyone turned to stare at Dani again.

"Not helping," Chad muttered through his teeth, glaring at Dani, who smiled innocently.

"Come on, guys," Sonny said, looking at her friends beseechingly. "It's just for one episode. And besides I don't really have a choice. It's either me or Destiny Starlight."

"Destiny Starlight!" Two voices echoed enthusiastically. Nico and Grady blushed as Dani, Sonny, and Tawni gave them cold stares.

"Oh, fine," Tawni relented, going back to filing her nails. "As long as that lame-o Destiny Starlight doesn't come here. She thinks she's so pretty, which she is not! I'm the pretty one around here! I hate her."

"Agreed," Dani seethed. Nico and Grady, who were obviously big Starlight fans, glanced around nervously before speaking.

"Uh, well, if it's between you and Destiny..." Grady began, cringing as Dani and Tawni glared at him again.

"Um, you can guest-star," Nico finished nervously, looking at Dani and Tawni.

"Aw, thanks guys!" Sonny beamed, opening her arms wide. "Group hug!" An awkward silence spread over the room as nobody moved. "Killjoys." Sonny muttered, before turning to Chad, who was leaning casually against the doorframe.

"Well, that went better than expected," she sighed. Chad nodded, a cocky smile forming on his face.

"Yep," he grinned. "Now which one of you ladies is gonna get me a sammich?" Four pairs of eyes widened as Tawni, Dani and Zora all pointed to Sonny. Sonny groaned.

Not again.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, again," Sonny gritted her teeth, handing Chad his plate. "But here's your sammich." Chad grinned cockily at her again, then frowned as he looked at the sandwich.

"Hey, you forgot to cut the crusts off this time," he whined, sounding like a little five year old. Sonny produced a knife and held it out to him. Chad's eyes widened and his face paled considerably. "Uh.. heh heh, no worries... no need to get hasty, Sonny..." Sonny rolled her eyes.

"Really, Chad, really?" she said. Really, was he that stupid? "I'm not going to stab you, it's a butter knife. Cut the crusts off yourself." Chad frowned as he took the knife and attempted to cut of the crusts himself. Sonny held in her laughter as the knife slipped from his hands and fell to the floor with clang.

"I can't do it!" Chad complained, holding the plate and knife out to Sonny. Sonny rolled her eyes once more and quickly and expertly cut the crusts off.

"Geez, Chad, you're pathetic," Sonny commented, leaning back on the couch and closing her eyes.

"Chad Dylan Cooper is not pathetic!" Chad defended himself.

"Yeah, whatever," Sonny said dismissively, handing Chad a piece of paper. "Here's the script for this week." Chad read it over, his smirk growing bigger and bigger.

"Have you read this?" he laughed. Sonny shook her head, she hadn't had time to read it yet. Chad snickered. "Let's rehearse, shall we? How about we start from the part where you say 'OMG! It's the HottiEMT! He's the hottest of all the hotties in this world!"

"Give me that!" Sonny snatched the script from Chad and skimmed it, her eyes widening in horror. "This is awful! I have to 'faint into your arms'??"

"You were supposed to do that last time," Chad added. "But you had to have Marshall cut it out, cuz you couldn't handle all of this," Chad flexed his muscles again.

"Oh, please," Sonny snorted. "You're just upset because you didn't get to kiss me last time."

"Maybe I am," Chad said, his voice dropping. He stared into Sonny's eyes. "But we can fix that." Before Sonny could do anything, Chad's arms were around her and his lips on hers. Sonny sighed contentedly into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. They stayed that like for what seemed like forever, until...

"Ack, my eyes! Ew! Oh my god, get a room!"

Chad pulled away from Sonny to glare, at Dani, who was standing in the doorway covering her eyes. Sonny blushed beet red and adjusted herself so she was sitting next to Chad, as opposed to under him.

"What do you want, Dani?" Chad scowled at her, irritated.

"Well, excuse me for walking in on your little make-out session," Dani retorted, looking slightly miffed. "Here's the MacKenzie Falls script from this week." Dani tossed two scripts onto the table.

"Dani, I already have the script," Chad said impatiently. An evil grin spread over Dani's face.

"Oh, remember how you told the writers you wanted them to change the episode?" Dani asked, and Chad nodded. That was when Mandy was guest-starring, not Sonny. "Well, they changed it all right." Dani let out a slightly frighting cackle and rushed out of the room.

"Okay?" Sonny asked before picking up a script and reading through it. Her eyes grew huger and huger and huger, and by the time she reached the end of the script, her mouth was hanging open.

"What's wrong Sonshine?" Chad asked nonchalantly, putting his feet up.

"Look at this!" Sonny exclaimed, her face red, and her voice sounding strangled. She shoved the script in his face and Chad read it.

Kayla: *moans* MacKenzie... we shouldn't do this...

MacKenzie: But I need this, Kayla, I need you.

Kayla: But the party... downstairs... someone could hear...

MacKenzie: That doesn't matter. Nothing matters right now. Except for you. I want you, Kayla.

Kayla: Mmm... I want you too, MacKenzie.

*next scene: Kayla and MacKenzie are lying in a bed, seemingly naked*

Chad opened and closed his mouth, unable to say anything. For once, Chad Dylan Cooper was speechless. Dani came waltzing back in and laughed at the expressions on Chad's and Sonny's faces.

"Read the script, did ya?" she winked. "Now Chad gets to live some of his fantasies." Sonny's mouth dropped another few inches.

"WHAT?!" she screeched, looking at Chad, who turned beet red.

"I didn't... I mean, I..." Chad was cut off and Sonny started pummeling him with a pillow. "Ow! God, Sonny! Stop hitting me!"

"You asked them to change the script!" Sonny accused.

"Not to that!" Chad defended, turning bright red. Dani watched from the doorway, an amused expression on her face, before sneaking away. Sonny dropped the pillow and put her head in her hands.

"Oh my god," she groaned. "Can you imagine what my mother will say when she sees this?"

"Your mom watches MacKenzie Falls?" Chad smirked slightly. Sonny glared at him once more. She tossed the script onto the table, where it landed with a loud smack.

"I can't believe this," she grumbled. "What kind of a plotline is this? She meets MacKenzie at the party, they... well, you know," Sonny blushed and trailed off temporarily. "And then Penelope finds out and pushes her off the Falls? I mean, why put a character in so you can kill her off after one episode?"

"That's just how we do things over at the Falls," Chad shrugged. Sonny rolled her eyes and muttered something about stupid over-dramatic drama snobs.

"Excuse me!? I am not a stupid, overdramatic drama snob!" Chad protested. Sonny rolled her eyes again.

"Yeah, well, when's rehearsal?" Sonny asked, changing the subject. Chad gave her a look and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Anxious, Munroe?" he teased, but immediately stopped as Sonny began beating him with the pillow again. "Ow! What the hell, Sonny! Stop hitting me! God, crazy woman! I'm sorry, geez, it was just a joke!" Sonny snickered at the sight of Chad cowering, his hands protecting his face.

"Come on, pervert, let's go," Sonny giggled, and got off the couch. Slightly unnerved by her sudden change of mood, Chad warily stood up and followed his girlfriend to the set of MacKenzie Falls.

"All right, Portlyn, go get Marta and Chastity! We're starting rehearsals in five!" After getting Sonny a uniform, Chad and Sonny walked onto the MacKenzie Falls set to see a short, slightly pudgy man booming into a megaphone. He turned and caught sight of them.

"Ah, well, if it isn't our new star!" he beamed at them. "We're so happy to have you, love. The on-screen chemistry between you and Chad... perfect! Ah, I can't wait to see it! Well, make yourself comfortable Miss Munroe, we'll start rehearsals in five. I'm Robert, and I'll be here if you need anything. MARTA!" he turned away from Sonny to scream into the megaphone again.

"Sorry, he's always like that," Chad laughed, seeing the bewildered and slightly frightened expression on Sonny's face. Sonny nodded slightly, and went to go sit in a chair as she watched Robert rush around the set, trying to get all his actors in order.

"Now, are we all ready?!" Robert boomed into his megaphone.

"Wait, wait for me!" Sonny turned towards the door to see Dani rush into the set, nearly knocking over the tray of loganberry smoothies. The cast of MacKenzie Falls gasped dramatically as the waiter teetered and tottered before getting his footing. Dani rolled her eyes at the cast before hurrying over to Robert.

"Miss Cooper, next time please try to be on time," he said, an annoyed expression on his face. Dani grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry, Bob," she replied cheerfully, taking a seat next to the director. Seeing the confused look on Sonny's face, Chad leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"Dani usually watches the rehearsals, and helps Robert our with the directing," he told her. "It gets really annoying at times, because she can be really bossy. But she's a really good director. Plus, she's the only one who's allowed to called him Bob."

"Mr. Cooper!" Dani boomed into her megaphone staring at Chad. "Is there something you'd like to share?" Chad rolled his eyes.

"See what I mean?" Chad muttered to Sonny, before shifting his expression to one of innocence. "Nothing at all, dear sister." Dani stuck her tongue out at him and Chad rolled his eyes once more.

"All right, stop fighting!" Robert sighed. The exasperated looks of the MacFalls cast told Sonny that this was a common occurrence during rehearsals. "Let's take it from the top!"

Sonny leaned back in her chair as she listened to the other actors and actresses deliver their lines. She had to admit, they were all good actors, including Chad. The way they delivered their lines, with so much emotion, really made Sonny pay attention to what was going on.

"Oh, and you must be Kayla," Chad said, giving her a dazzling smile. Sonny's heart skipped a few beats, but she replied as Kayla.

"Yes, I am," Sonny giggled, twirling a lock of hair in her finger. "You must be the MacKenzie everyone talks about."

"That's me," Chad said suavely. "Fabulous party, isn't it?" Sonny felt herself get drawn in by the smoothness of Chad's voice and the gleam in his sparkling eyes.

"Oh, yes, amazing," she breathed, staring back into Chad's eyes. She caught the faintest hint of a smirk on Chad's face.

"Would you like to dance?" Chad cocked his head slightly, letting his hair flip in front of his eyes. Sonny nodded breathlessly.

"And, stop right there!" Robert exclaimed. Sonny shot backwards into her chair, her heart beating. What... what just happened? Sure, she had delivered her lines perfectly, but she felt like she was getting... a little too into the scene. Chad was also leaning back in his chair, his face slightly smug. Dani had an interested expression on her face, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

"That was perfect!" Robert cried, a huge grin on his face. "Amazing! Fantastic! You two are just so magical together! I love it! It's great! Lunch!" The other cast members cheered and all went their different directions to go eat. Dani gave Sonny a little wave before running off to who-knows-where. Chad got up and walked over to his girlfriend.

"So," he began, smirking. "Looked like you were getting really into that scene. And it was just a table reading too." Sonny flushed slightly.

"Oh, shut up, Chad," she replied, rolling her eyes. "It's called acting."

"Really, Sonny? Really?" Chad delievered his signature line, cocking his head slightly so that his fell into his eyes again.

"Yes, really," Sonny said assertively, before getting up and brushing past him. "Oh, move your hair, you look like a doofus." Sonny snickered inwardly as she left Chad open-mouthed, looking like he had just been gravely insulted.

"Oh, by the way, So Random! rehearsals are tomorrow, 8:00 am sharp," she turned around to tell him, before smirking.

"Let's see how funny you really are,"

Well, that was a kind of strange place to end it... whatever. Okay, I need your opinion. Should I go through all the rehearsals and all the shooting and blah blah blah, or should I just cut to where they watch the episode?

I think I'm gonna have another chapter or two on them working on the episodes, and then where they watch them will be the epilogue. Sounds good? Tell me in your reviews, please.

Peace, love, and chocolate covered walnuts,
