Finally, I put a chapter with some TPOV. Sorry it took me so long to get her involved into the story. Mostly because I love Channy. Okay, so I still don't have any ideas. I don't even have an idea if anyone is actually reading this except for my loyal readers who would read this. THANK YOU. It makes me appreciated for writing for about only an hour a day because school is getting in my way. Or is fanfiction getting in my way. Either way (wow the word way comes a lot in this message, by the way) Well, hopefully someone can give me any advice or to tell me to stop or to get me ideas or something. ANYTHING!! PLEASE!! Thanks, hope you enjoy this next chapter. :-)


(TPOV)

Last week when I was going down to get some low-fat steamed milk, I looked on the table and saw some late night mail. It was just one letter that usually at the late hour I would have ignore. But, it was a shiny gold that glittered under the lights. I walked over and there was a letter from one of my old friends. It was about that when we were seven, right before I had so many acting jobs that I needed to move to Hollywood, I promised her that we will throw a banquet. Well, since it's shiny and she wrote it in my favorite font, jivetalk, and put gold and pink all over it so it was impossible for me to ignore it. I called her back on her old cell which I'm surprised she would keep that piece of junk that long. Now that this week was off, this was my opportunity to actually keep my promises. Plus, now I get to pay her back for accidentally wiping out her goldfish. So I called her. The phone rang as I nervously waited for her to pick up. Suddenly, the ringing stopped and was replaced by the voice of a teenage girl that I knew very well. We talked for like a few minutes then decided to switch to video chat on the computers so that my phone bill won't add up to a million dollars. We talked for about an hour and a half and caught up since the last time we met in person, which was about 10 years ago. I found out that she was coming next Friday at LAX.

Next, the hard part. Okay so making ionvitations, catering food, waiters, blah, blah blah, blah, blah. Okay I have people to do that stuff for me. Except for the invitations. If it comes to invitations, I am the girls who would do it. I write them out and have people to re-write and print them for me. It's so obvious that Chad likes Sonny. Sonny likes Chad but how can she be so cruel to him the way she is. I decided to make Chad's invite a little different than the others, his invite says that it starts half an hour earlier. Why? Cause if I know Chad, he would have probably show up that late. And I figured to not give Sonny an invitation and surprise her. Lucy is just a background character that I don't mind being there. So I mailed them over and everyone already replied except for Chad. Did the mail get lost? Or did he just think a banquet is just lame? I don't know so I literally dragged him to my house after Sonny, her friend, and I finished getting our dresses made.

"Wow, you have a decent house," I think that was a compliment, but I'm not sure.

"Okay, just don't try to change the subject!" My goodness, what's wrong with this boy?

"Fine, but why did you bring me here?"

"What? Is there anything wrong with my house?"

"No, but... Well,"

"What," I was ready to just forget it and kick him out in the rain.

"Never mind. Just tell me why are you holding that thing?" He paused between the last two words he said.

"You know what this thing is,"

"So, you geve me the invite?"

"Yes, surprised?" I asked in a dull semi-sarcastic tone as his eyes searched the kitchen looking for an answer.

"Why would I show up? NO wonder the invitation was so usly, because it was from a 'random'" He answered back in a teasing way while looking at me as his eye brows moved upward.

"If you don't wanna hear anything about a random just go away." I said. Who knew that Chad could care so less, with Sonny involved. But he doesn't even know yes so who's to blame?I thought as my conscience and thoughts mixed fighting to pick whether to call him back to the table or to keep my mouth shut. Keeping a silence felt like the right thing to do, and I was right. He turned around after passing the island in the middle of the room and glanced at the guest list. It turns out, that he knew a few of those people. He turns around and glances at the lights above me and turns back around exiting without a word. I didn't hear the front door close. I'm pretty sure he got lost because when I got back to the hallway to check if he was already out, I found him in the middle of the laundry room trying to see if a door could come out from behind the washer.

"What are you still doing here?" Now I was confused as he still paced around the room looking at the washer that happened to have nothing in it at the time.

"Um.. Well... You know. What do you do in a laundry room? Right?" His voice quivered in the air. I didn't know weather the cause was because it was getting colder or he was getting nervous.

"Well, you know the front door is all the way down the hall, right?''

"Of course I knew that! Pshaw!" His voice was still shaking and his tone getting higher as his eyes were just barely visible slits.

"Okay, go! Like I care," Even after I said that he was pacing around the laundry room looking like the place belonged to him. "Hello? Did you hear me?" Even if Chad did hear me, he acted like I was an invisible soul from a far far away island in Indonesia 20,000 years ago as the soft sound of his bare feet hit the ground causing a sound like a cat landing on hard earth. "Chad, go." I said with more patience as he still ignored me but started to make his way toward the door acting like nothing had happened. He went all the way down the hall and turned right to where the front door was and picked out his shoes and headed out into the rain.

"Now that took a while," I said to myself not realizing that the door wasn't fully closed yet. He popped out and just smiled at me just to manipulate me. Ugh. So I go back to the laundry room to see what was so interesting. He stayed mainly at a small corner and looked down not meeting my eyes. I go back to the corner and see a picture of our cast. Sonny was in the middle and I was to the right. Nico and Grady were on either side of Zora and it had a background of purple and yellow with the letters that spell "So Random" also surrounded by yellow. I remembered when that picture was taken. It was about two weeks after Sonny joined our cast. That was when everything got complicated with her and Chad. If they would just kiss and forget it would make me extremely happy, even if both of them are in extreme denial. I wish I knew what they said when we were at the talk show. She never told me and Chad also seemed to keep it a secret to forget.

I looked at the time and it was almost one o'clock. I went upstairs and headed for my room. Most of the time the house is empty because my mom isn't only my agent, some other stars also have her for an agent. A lot of the time, it was empty unless she gets a break which she get's about maybe one or two weeks off work a month. She was usually busy and so was I. At night, she comes home most of the time, unless she was out of town. Walking lazily up the stairs and then flopped into my pink couch in my room and flipped the switch that caused the picture to flip and turn into a TV. The flat screen appeared after a few second of a light soft buzzing sound. The "So Random" theme song went on as I looked around the screen to find if I can find any traces of myself. It was the episode that Chad was in. Apparently, when the pig landed in her lap, I heard a squeal and a "aww" from some people in the audience. Hmm. I got thinking for a while as I was about three episodes "So Random" when the clock beeped and it was already 2:30. I was laughing and remembering the moments "behind the scenes" as I watched each scene and thought about them so carefully, that I didn't notice that time flew that fast. I needed to get some food, but I ran out of anything that was low-carb, fat, or anything that I would see Sonny eating at the dressing room. I was getting tired and possible fell asleep because the next thing I knew is that it was almost 4:30!


(SPOV)

We were nearing lunch time when we finally finished. Lucy and I went to my car as I opened her yellow umbrella. The color immediately drew attention to my eyes because so many people here always used black umbrellas. Her's stood out more than a cactus in the middle of the ocean. I didn't mind as she held the umbrella barely able to keep the light drops of rain from my back. The drops splashed in puddles and the rain hit the umbrella. The beads of water fell down on both sides of the umbrella. Lucy's hand gripped tightly to the wooden handle as we neared my car. I unlocked the door and heard a click right after I pressed the button. Lucy brought me to the drivers seat first so that I can go in. Then she walked splashing in any near by puddles to the other side of the car as the drops of water battered my windows. I put the key in to start the car and brought the heat a little higher.

"Sonny, wow. The climate here must've gotten to you. How are you this cold?"

"What? No, I'm fine. I just wanna turn the heat just a little. Is there a problem, or are you too hot?" I teased her as she clicked her seatbelt.

"No, just kidding. Okay, where you wanna eat?" She asked me.

"Well, since you are the guest of honor, you pick,"

"Hmm. Well, I don't know... Again. Wanna just drive down to see what we can find around the town?"

"Sure, I don't mind at all." I replied starting to back the car out of the parking space. We passed countless drive-ins, buffets, and cafes, and so much more. After we passed the fifth McDonalds's, I started to get impatient with the girl. Finally, when we passed a small Starbucks, she told me to stop.

"So you wanted me to drive all the way here to get something at Starbucks?"

"Sure, you can say it that way," What? What did she mean by that way.

"Okay, if you really wanna eat here, I don't mind at all."

"Aww! Sonny, you are the bestest most absolutely wasomest friend ever!"

"Luc, you are also the best. You help me in everything." The rest of the time in the car was a chaotic mixture of screams, laughter, and hugging. Once we got through that, Lucy got out of the car first and opened the umbrella outside while walking to my side of the car. The rain started to get harder and the clouds seemed to start fading from a light gray, to black. The sun would set earlier now because we are in the winter season so usually, the sun would start setting at about four in the afternoon. When I got in, the warm aroma of coffee instantly filled my nose as I opened my eyes to walls painted with cool and hot shades of green, orange and brown. We went to the ordering counter and got ourselves something we wanted. It was all on me (of course) just because I offered. I walked over to the condiments bar to get some extra chocolate and cinnamon in my hot cocoa. Lucy picked out a table near the window where you can see the whole clutter of the city. She looked out the window and gazed as the sound of pelting rain and poetic guitar music filled my ears calming me down from this topsy-turvy day. I finally unwinded and had peace in me. Lucy and I talked and ordered more small snacks. I got a croissant and she got a danish muffin. (I forgot what it's called) We left and gave a tip for a charity they were supporting and headed back to my car. I still had my venti cocoa in my hands as the warmth of the cup filled my body when the door opened. A rush of cold wind hit everything in the room as we exited. Lucy was still holding her coffee that steamed in the bitter cold air.

"Okay, even if that wasn't a real meal, I'm not hungry anymore. But I'm sure warm."

"Me too. Hey wanna go and head back to the shop now?"

"What shop?" I completely forgot about the dresses and time. I glanced over at the clock and found that it was past five thirty. "Okay, we could keep on moving. We would probably arrive, maybe ten minutes earlier. Ready?"

"Sure, but wait real quick." She took her umbrella and stuck it outside. Then, she shook it so all the little beads of water would fall off. "Okay, now I'm done."

"Good," We drove along silently until we got the the next traffic light that stopped us at the red.

"Hey, Sonny. Can I turn on the radio? It's getting pretty quite in here." She was right, all that I could hear was a light wind that came from the heaters.

"Go ahead, I don't mind much anything." She turned on the radio to a radio that gave soft rock oldies. It was a station that I turned on pretty often. The song "Livin' On a Prayer" was still in the intro. We both loved this song back in Wisconsin. The first verse came on as we both sang along looking like people who are trying to get something out of their hair before it might blow up. We were mouthing the words for the song was memorized by heart. (If you have never hear the song, look for it. Bon Jovi) The lyrics make me love the song, even if this was about a time before ours it still had a message that spoke to me, and apparently Lucy. We must've look like maniacs because the driver tot eh right of us avoided eye contact but we know that he was looking at us. The chorus to the song is my personal favorite. When the traffic light finally turned green, I pushed the pedal and we started cruising along the roads of Hollywood until we got to the shop.

"We're here. That didn't take as long as I though it would," I exclaimed as a new song started out.

"Well, it's almost five, so do you think we should go in now?" I looked around for a second then responded.

"Sure, I don't think Samantha would mind."

My eyes wandered off until I found the mirror and put a new, think layer of make up on. The rain was now just a drizzle but it was hard enough to mess up my hair. Lucy opened her umbrella again as we got out of the car. We walked to the store surprised to see Tawni already inside through the glass windows. She wasn't in the secret back room though. Her expression on her face was calm but her hair looked like she just took a nap and got out of bed.

"Hey Tawni!" I said with enthusiasm. She was dressed in the exact same thing she was wearing a few hours ago when we departed.

"Hey Sonny, hi Luuuucy," Her voice dragged the U sound like she partially forgot her name. Other than that, her voice was usually perkey.

"So are we allowed to go in yet?" I asked Tawni while she was looking at the hand mirror she was looking at.

"Well, the door is locked for one, and she's going to be here just a little la-" All of the sudden, we heard the door slam and fast, hard breathing followed by rain and passing cars.

"I'm here!" Samantha popped out of the front door with her hair partially wet and her blue green shirt with splotches of water here and there. She was a quirky woman probably in her early twenties. Also, she was kind and organized by what I can see.

"Wow! You made it. Was it the crash?" Tawni started talking to her as we slowly made our way to the back room. It was amazing of how I felt so comfortable in a place that I just came in this morning.

"Well, are we going to figure out what are we doing back here?" Lucy asked the two noisy women in front of us.

"You see, now we need to work on make up and finish your hair just a little more," All of us had some little work done on our hair but not fancy enough to whatever Tawni was planning to do tonight.

We all got back to our seats and looked at the make up again. This time, there was a more variety in colors and types. Different type of mascara lined the left side of the tables and brushes were in a small holder on the top right edge of the desk. In a drawer, there were countless numbers of powders and blush to match any skin type. Concealer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and small brushes for that sort of type were put on the smaller drawer to the bottom left corner. Every thing for the lips were in a small narrow drawer that was about neck level.

"So, are we going to start, or is there anything else we are going to do?"

"Before you start, get your outfits and put them on. Go in the closets to find them and change in there."

"Okay!" Lucy was very excited to be going to a second party or whatever Tawni was doing.

We all got in our own closets and put on our outfits. The only thing that I left out was my purse and hat. Both Lucy and Tawni admired them selves for a while after they got changed. Samantha called us all and told us to think carefully to put on our makeup. It wasn't fully permanent until she told us we were ready. So, I turned around and sat down in the leather adjustable seats that were in front of each table. Samantha also put a color chart to show us which colors look best with what we were wearing and which powders were for what. We all got to work right away as Samantha went from person to person looking at what we were doing. She didn't check up on Tawni that much. I figured that Tawni's been here a few times by the way they seemed like good friends. While we were working making sure every stroke, brush, and line of make up were perfect, someone opened the door.

"It's almost 6:30," Said a lady who was at the counter earlier.

"Okay, are you girls almost done?" Samantha said after she thanked the person.

"Yeah, I'm almost done," I replied looking like I was going to a ball with glitter on my eyes and some also on my lips. I already put the permanent coating on it so it won't wash away until I used the special liquid. My face was covered in loose powders of all kinds covering any blemish or mark on my face. The colors I used for my eyes was a mixture of light blues, dark browns, and some golds. We all had to be approved by Samantha before we could actually put it on. Both Lucy and Tawni were finished by the time Samantha asked.

"Okay, you girls. I'm going to do Lucy's hair. And if Tawni want's to, can she help out Sonny with her's?"

"I don't mind at all," Wow, Tawni was being a little generous for her type today. All day se's been preppy and nice. That wasn't usually like her. As Samantha started walking towards Lucy, Tawni headed to my seat.

"Tawni, why did you bring us here? And why do I only have to pay twenty bucks?" I was asking her as she put some moose on parts of my hair while turning the medium sized curling iron. She answered me while concentrating hard on my hair.

"Well, it would make tonight extra special and it would make all of us think back," She paused for a moment then continued with three more words. "Especially for you,"

"What?"

"What I meant was that when was the last time you were invited to a Hollywood party?"

I thought for a moment when I realized at what she just said.

"Did you say party?" Ha she blew it.

"Did I say party? No! I said Marty,"

"So I'm invited to a Marty?"

"Um, no,"

"Okay," I replied not wanting to mess up my hair. She used the hot iron so close to my head that I could feel the heat as one by one, she curled parts of my hair that fell onto my face after she let them go. The hair was always warm and curled but never messing up my vision. she carefully and skillfully worked with the different selections of curling irons always seeming to know what to use so that my hair looked perfect. After that, she applied some cream to the the top of my had and drove a brush throug the right side of my head. Then, she took the extremely large curling iron and curled that part. She did the same to the other side also. After that, she blow dried my hair one last time and then finished. By the end, it looked like I was going to an awards show.

"Wa Lah! How do you like it?" I observed the masterpiece she created and it was beautiful with detail and curls going the right direction each time. Every single part of my hair was done so that it would accompany my dress beautifully. Complicated curls of all sized were on my hair from back to front, but it wasn't over done.

"Oh my gosh! Tawni! You are the best ever!"

"No need to say that Sonny,"

"You made this day my most memorable day in Hollywood, and in my life." We hugged a little and backed up awkwardly afterwards.

"Sonny, you don't need to. I'm having a great time too."

"Awww!" Tawni then headed back to her place to put final touches on her partially done hair.

It was almost seven o'clock and I felt that it was getting lat to start something like a party at this hour.

"Hey, you two know it's still raining. Right?" I said as I peered out the door through the glass windows. Drops of water were dripping from the roof outside.

"Okay. I agree,"

We all put on our hats, purses, and jewelry we didn't put on yet and headed out the door. Samantha walked out the door behind us. I turned around and gave her a warm hug. I looked in my purse and gave her an extra ten dollars.

"You've done so much today. Thank you so much,"

"No problem kid. It's my job." She smiled at me and waved at all of us as we walked outside. It was dark and my car was parked at the back of the building. Tawni parked her's at the fron. Before we left, not knowing where to go in our fancy dresses, make up, and hair, Tawni tugged at my jacket sleeve causing me to half trip and look at her.

"Follow me and than all the answers you've been waiting for will flood to you,"
