~Chad's POV~

After my very bad attempt at an apology to Sonny, I headed back to the Falls Studio to sulk…why couldn't I just apologize? Why'd I have to have a big ego? Why did I have to hurt the girl I loved…yes, you heard me right…loved…Sonny's the only girl who ever made my heart jump whenever she was around and when she wasn't I missed her and I picture her smiling face in my head constantly…Yes...I was a softy on the inside…now if only I could show Sonny that.

"yeah man I'm taking her out to dinner" I know that voice…I sneaked my head into James Conroy's dressing room and saw him on the phone. Taking her out to dinner…did he mean Sonny? "No, it's for real I told you I'm a changed man" he laughed and I hid behind the wall, listening closely to what he was going to say next "I was thinking taking her out to that Japanese restaurant near the studio" That B grade Japanese Restaurant? Was he getting Cheap? Sonny deserved something better than that…"I haven't asked her yet…Sonny still wants me to work hard for her to say yes" That's my Sonny…I smiled triumphantly "but I'll ask her tomorrow…I've planned out everything" Tomorrow? I couldn't let him ask Sonny out tomorrow…she might just say yes! "alright yeah man I'll see you tomorrow!" I could tell he hung his phone up but before I could run and hide I had already bumped into James who was walking outside his dressing room.

"Chad? What are you doing here?" he asked me and I glared at him crossing my arms over my chest "you're taking Sonny out tomorrow?" I demanded to know, He laughed for a second shaking his head alittle "what if I was? You shouldn't care who I date" he smiled at me which made me fuming mad than I already was…I just wanted to smash his face in. "I shouldn't but I do care who Sonny dates" I told him, looking at him pointedly. He smiled sardonically "and why is that? You're not her boyfriend actually from what I heard you aren't even Sonny's friend" My heart sank when the realization that he was right hit me. "stay away from Sonny" I warned him but he just chuckled "are you threatening me Mr. Chad Dylan Cooper?" he crossed his arms over his chest and I glared at him spitefully "I prefer to call it a friendly warning" I told him "I don't take warnings so if you want me to back off Sonny then make a move because if you don't then I will" he winked at me then headed out the door without another word coming out of his mouth.

"So The Great Chad Dylan Cooper asks us for help? The tables have turned" Grady asked me as he turned his gaming chair around acting as if he was Godfather, Nico was beside him with his arms over his chest. I looked around the prop house then back at them it seems like they were enjoying the fact that I was vulnerable "it will cost you" Nico added threateningly and I rolled my eyes, pulling my wallet from my pocket "50 bucks each" Grady, always the materialistic one between the two "and introduce us to cute girls" and Nico, he was always for the romance… "alright you've got yourselves a deal Random" I put out a hand which they shook "so what do you need my brother?" Nico retreated his hands to his sides.

"I need to ask Sonny out before James has the chance to…and to do that I need your help" I sat down on their couch, the two looked at each other then at me shock appearing on their faces as if they'd just witnessed a crime or something… "wait--I thought I just heard you say you need our help to ask out Sonny…" Grady raised his eyebrow and I nodded "exactly what I said" I shrugged "look Chad…James is our friend now and if he wants to ask out Sonny then that's cool with us we cant let you ask our little Sonny out just because you don't want her dating your TV rival bank robber guy" Nico told me, he was always the big brother. "I'm not just asking her out because of that…I like Sonny" I mumbled the last part.

They Gasped dramatically and shivered at the thought "so are you going to help me or not?" I asked them irritated, they turned around and had their own private conversation for a few minutes then looked back at me "okay what do you need us for?" Grady threw his hands up in surrender. "I need you to tell me what Sonny likes" I took the pad paper from their prop coffee table and a pen from my pocket.

"Sonny meet me at the studio parking lot….7pm….bring James….but don't answer any questions from him until then, you got that?" I didn't wait for her to reply before I spoke again "okay good! Don't be late or else…." With that I headed off as quick as I could "Chad!" she tried calling after me but I ignored her and before she could follow after me the director had already pulled her in for her scenes with James Conroy…I watched the side of the set…the plot for this episode was something like this…James kidnaps Cassidy who had revealed her feelings for Mackenzie --that's me-- and stows her away at a bank that he was robbing he also hostages Chloe and Trevor who were also at the bank and I save them by having a dramatic fencing fight with James who will at the end tuck and roll away from the scene with his favorite tagline "you'll never catch me alive" I then learn that Devon was in on the plot and I have a montage of my childhood where Devon was still my friend…it was pretty senseless I had to admit it but that's how the fans want the show to be…so what the heck right?

The shoots for the next days were going to be out of the studio so people were all at the edge of their seats during filming…they were trying to perfect this as best they could so while I wasn't needed, I was free to roam around without anyone noticing me and that gave me the access to easily call Grady and Nico to ask how they were doing. "this is Nico what up?" he answered "it's Chad…how are things going?" I whispered hoarsely

"it's fine but keeping a secret like this from Tawni and Zora…a lot of work…what time will you be coming?"

"around 7 that's when the show starts right?"

"Yep don't be late alright Coop?"

"I wont just get everything done" with that I hung up.

"Chad what's going on?" I jumped at Sonny's voice behind me, I turned to her and flashed her a smile "you'll know later on" I told her cockily and she hit my shoulder "if this is some sort of sick joke Chad--" she warned me but I quickly replied with a "Sonny trust me, it's not a joke" I assured her "but if it is I will punch your face in" she told me and I chuckled "Hanging out with James makes you violent, you gotta stop that" I teased and she rolled her eyes hit my arm again and stalked off.
