Hey, guys! As always, thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. You guys rock. C:
Oh, yeah, and check this out: http:/ gingerflight. deviantart. com/art/In-Theory-245676022 (with no spaces, of course)
Haha, isn't it awesome? :D I'm really proud of how it came out. Chad and Sonny look so cute. ^^
Anyway, enjoy!
Wow.
Just... wow.
Chadly wisdom? You call this wisdom, Chad? You've gotta be kidding me.
Ah, sorry. I was distracted for a second and completely forgot to introduce myself. Well, hi, everyone, I'm Sonny Munroe from So Random! Chad told you I was taking over for a bit, right? If he didn't, then... well, I am. He had to go to Texas for his little cousin's birthday party. Isn't that so sweet? But I bet he probably told you guys that he was going off on some "important business", huh?
Psh. Chad cares too much about his dumb image.
Anywho, I'm sitting in my dressing room typing all this on my laptop. Tawni just left a second ago to go get some lunch. I was going to tell her about this, but then I figured she might overreact about me helping Chad, blab to the others, and then everyone would be on my back. So I'm just gonna keep this a secret from her, I think.
I should probably get to writing about some topic, right? Chad explained what I was supposed to do before he left, but I still didn't really get it. So I started reading some of his "wisdom" center to see what I had to do, but I quit reading after the first topic on nuts. Seriously, how can you guys read this garbage? I mean, if they're all as bad as the first one was, then there's really no point in reading the rest.
Or should I read them? I'm sort of curious to know what goes on in that swelled head of his.
Although... I KNEW IT! You do hate nuts, Chad! I knew you were lying about liking them! The cookie dough tasted bad... please! I was right the whole time!
HAH!
I'm getting off topic, aren't I? Yeah... I do that a lot. It's sort of a habit with me, but hopefully you guys won't mind if I start to ramble. Maybe.
One more thing before I get started: I am NOT a diva, or a drama queen. Far from it, actually. And my friends aren't losers or idiots. Don't believe everything that Chad says, guys, because half the time he's just lying.
Oh, and here's a piece of "Chadly wisdom" for you. Chad Dylan Cooper is the world's biggest, fattest jerk.
So there.
Now let's get this party started!
Sonny Munroe On Ice Cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Haha! I love saying that!
So... I love ice cream. I mean, who doesn't? Saying you don't love ice cream is like saying you don't love cute little kittens, or puppies, or, um, laughter! I mean, what person doesn't love laughter? Well, Chad apparently doesn't (or so he says), but I'm starting to think he's not really a human being, so... he doesn't count.
I personally think it's impossible to not love ice cream. I mean, there's so many different flavors for every person! They've got your basics, like vanilla, which is great, and strawberry, which is yummy, and chocolate and mint and cookies n' cream and cotton candy and... and everything!
And it's all deliciously creamy and cold and yum. The perfect treat for a hot summer day. Or any day, really.
...that's all I can think of to write. So, uh... was that wisdom-y enough? I don't really know.
I think that's all I have to do, right?
Oh, wait, Chad told me I have to tell you all some story about my personal experience with the topics. Apparently it helps the Chadlyness of his Chadly wisdom to truly sink in. Those are his words, not mine, by the way.
I might as well do what he asked. I mean, he is going to donate to that new charity for those poor little malnourished children, so it's the least I can do, I guess.
Hmm... what would be a good example for ice cream...? Ooh, I think I got one! All righty, then, here goes!
One afternoon, I was walking towards the studio parking lot. I'd had a long, hot day at the studio, and being from Wisconsin, the heat was sort of getting to me. I was all set to head back to my apartment and stick my head in front of the air conditioner. Because in times of extremely hot weather, the air conditioner is my best friend in the whole wide world. It's true.
So I was making my way towards my car when all of a sudden I heard a voice call after me, "Sonny! Hey, wait up!"
I could tell right away that it was Chad who was yelling my name. Against my better judgement, I stopped and turned around as Chad skidded to a stop in front of me. "What?" I asked, not at all pleased that he was keeping me from my beautiful air conditioner.
Chad looked freaked out. He glanced behind him, panting for air, then gasped out, "I'm being stalked."
I raised an eyebrow at him. "Is that all?"
"This is serious, Sonny!" He glared at me. "Look, I can't explain right now, because she's been chasing me for the past fifteen minutes, and she's going to find me soon so I need you to - "
"Woah, woah, wait a second." I held up my hands to stop his rant. "Who're you talking about?"
He glanced over his shoulder again. "No time. Look, please do this for me, Sonny."
I looked at him blankly, feeling totally confused. "Do what?" I shook my head. "Oh, never mind. Now as much as I would love to spend time with the one and only CDC, I'd rather hang out with my AC, if you get my drift," I deadpanned. See what I did there? CDC, AC? Hehe...
All of a sudden, a new, higher pitched voice squealed, "Chaddy!" I looked around Chad to see a very tan girl with long raven black hair approaching us at a fast pace, a big grin on her face. Chad's face paled, and he suddenly grabbed my hand. I was about to protest about that hand grabbing thing, but he gave a tiny shake of his head and muttered, "Just play along."
Sure. Whatever. It's not like I needed to go anywhere or something because I was dying from too much heat exposure. Definitely not.
"Hey, Ashley," Chad said in a cheerful voice that I could tell was fake. He smiled at the new girl. "Listen, it's been really fun, but it's time for you to go, so - "
"But Chaddy!" Ashley pouted, completely ignoring me. I raised my eyebrows. Chaddy? Who was this girl? "I had our day all planned out! We were going to watch a romantic movie, make out, then watch the sunset and make out some more!"
I tried to keep my face straight, but it was hard, since her words combined with Chad's mildly disgusted expression made me want to burst into a fit of giggles.
Of course, what Chad said next made my need to giggle disappear instantaneously.
"Um, that sounds... great, Ashley," Chad said in a strained voice. "But I told you, I have a girlfriend. See?" He patted my shoulder with his free hand. "Meet my girlfriend, Sonny."
Girlfriend? Me? I really wish I'd been drinking a coke when he said that. Then I could have spat it out all over his dumb face.
Instead, I just stared at him. "What?" I asked blankly.
He narrowed his eyes at me, and I remembered how he told me to play along. I found myself nodding and saying, "Oh, yeah, I'm Chad's girlfriend all right."
Chad nodded to Ashley, who was just staring at the two of us with her mouth hanging open. "We've been going out for a while. I told you that, remember?"
I felt the need to add something, so I gave Chad a sweet smile and said, "Mmhmm, when he asked me to be his girlfriend it was sort of... out of the blue. And I had absolutely no idea what was going on." I squeezed his hand extra hard and was satisfied to see him wince a bit.
"Ok, well, it was nice meeting you, Ashley, but we really have to get going," Chad said hurriedly, then turned and tugged me off in the direction of his convertible. I opened my mouth to ask him what was going on, but he muttered, "Shh, she's watching." I wasn't really sure what the big deal was, but Chad seemed really anxious, so I didn't ask and just let him continue to hold my hand. Which was actually pretty nice, now that I think about it. Not that that means anything, of course.
He opened the door to his convertible for me. I hesitated, then entered, and Chad went to sit in the driver's seat, looking tense. He remained tense until we pulled out of the studio parking lot, and then I saw him visibly relax. "Oh, man, that was close," he said.
I glared at him. "Really? Care to tell me what just happened out there, boyfriend?" I smacked his shoulder lightly, and he yelped, "Hey, I'm driving!" I rolled my eyes. "Chad, I want an explanation."
We approached a red light, and Chad stopped the car. Then he looked over at me, and I met his gaze against my will. You know, you'd think his eyes aren't actually as blue as they are on TV, but they are. They're even bluer, if that's possible. And unfortunately, it's very easy to get lost in those stupid eyes of his, which is exactly what happened to me at that moment. I sort of just stared into his eyes for a moment until Chad snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Hey, Sonny, are you in there?"
I jerked back to reality and felt my face flushing. Gah. "Sorry," I said. "Were you saying something?"
He smirked at me, but didn't make fun of me for getting lost in his eyes, thank goodness. Instead, he said, "Today at the Mack Falls set we had a sort of fan meet and greet, and this one girl apparently decided that I was her boyfriend."
"Ashley?" I guessed.
He shuddered. "Yeah. Even when the meet and greet was over, she wouldn't quit following me around. Sonny, she was everywhere I went, even in my private bathroom." He sounded horrified. I stifled a laugh. "She's been stalking me all day, and it was really creepy, so when I saw her fifteen minutes ago I made a break for the parking lot, and she chased me. Then I saw you and got that idea..." He trailed off. The light turned green, and he resumed his driving.
I frowned, trying to process it all in my head. "So... I'm not your girlfriend."
He laughed. "Obviously not. Thanks for playing along, by the way. I hate to say this, but I guess I owe you now." He smiled at me. I nearly melted right then and there, and not just because of the heat (though that was partly why, too). Just because I strongly dislike the guy doesn't mean I'm blind to his looks, especially when he smiles like that. I wish I was, but I'm not. Too bad, that would make life so much easier. I chuckled nervously. "Uh huh..."
Then I brightened as I got an idea. "Wait, so you owe me?"
He shrugged. "Didn't I just say that?"
I beamed at him. "Great! Let's go get some ice cream!"
He kept his eyes on the road, but he looked confused. "Why?"
"Because I'm really hot," I whined. I think I heard him mumble something like, "You can say that again", but I probably just imagined it, because then he said, "Are you kidding me? It's not hot at all."
I scoffed. "I'm not used to the California heat like you are, Chad. I was born in Wisconsin, remember?"
He sighed. "Fine, I'll get you some - " Then he abruptly quit talking and stared at something in his rearview mirror. His silence worried me. "Chad? Are you ok?" I asked, concerned.
"Oh my God, she's following us," he whispered. I tilted my head. "What are you talking about?" I turned around in my seat and looked at the car in the back of us, then blinked. "Oh." I waved weakly at the car behind us.
In the driver's seat of the car, Ashley returned my wave with a grin that made her look crazy. I turned back around in my seat. "Well, that's not good."
"Oh, really?" Chad said, clutching the wheel tightly. "Isn't that the understatement of the century." He took a deep breath. "Sonny, think you can wait a while for your ice cream?"
"Um, I guess."
"Good." He hit the gas pedal, and then we were off, zooming through the streets of Hollywood waaaaaaaay above the speed limit. "Chad, slow down!" I shrieked, clutching the edges of my seat in panic.
"No way!" he yelled back, glaring at the road. "I'm not letting that crazy chick catch up to us!"
"But we're going above the speed limit!"
"This is Hollywood! Nobody cares about the speed limit!"
"I do!"
"Then you're a nobody!"
I had a sudden desire to throttle him. "What did you just say?"
He groaned. "Look, Sonny, just be quiet and let me drive!"
I huffed and shut up as Chad continued to drive like a maniac. If he got a ticket, then it was his own stupid fault. Of course, he didn't get a ticket at all. Figures. But for the record, I didn't relax until he slowed down and stopped the car by the corner. And even then I was still ticked off at him for calling me a nobody. I glowered at him as he slumped against the chair and sighed. "I think we lost her."
"Good," I retorted, unbuckling myself. "Now please unlock the door so I can get out."
He raised an eyebrow at me. "Why?"
I folded my arms and resolutely glared in the opposite direction. "Because I don't want to be stuck in a car with some lunatic driver."
Of course he saw right through me. "Is this about what I said?" he asked. "Sonny, I was panicking. I didn't mean it."
"Sure, you didn't," I said sarcastically, trying and failing to open the car door. Chad leaned over, grabbed my shoulders, and turned me around so that I faced him. "I'm serious. I would never call you a nobody and mean it." He looked completely honest and sincere, and I sighed. When he looked at me like that, it was hard not to forgive him. "Really?"
He smirked. "Not to your face, anyway," he said in a teasing tone, and I smiled. "Fine, I forgive you." I looked out the door and grinned. "Hey, look, there's an ice cream parlor right there! Chad, hurry up and unlock the door, I need to cool down fast!"
Chad made me beg him for a few minutes before he finally unlocked the door, and then I jumped out of the convertible and ran into the ice cream shop as fast as I could go. Once I got inside, I was met with a blast of cool air. I nearly fainted from pure joy. Instead of fainting, I just dropped down to my knees and cried out, "I FEEL SO ALIVE!"
Which was probably worse than fainting, since I just got a bunch of weird stares from all the people in there.
But, to be honest, I didn't really care.
Chad followed me afterwards and looked down at me, disbelief mixing with amusement in his expression. "How about I pretend I don't know you?"
I smirked at him, already in a much better mood from the wonderful cool air. "That might be tough to do, boyfriend," I laughed. He smiled. "Uh huh. So would you like me to buy us some ice cream?"
I hopped to my feet. "Yes!" Then I rushed over to the area where they keep all the ice cream and pressed my face up against the glass, practically drooling as I stared at all the tubs of ice cream. They had, like, every kind of ice cream flavor in that parlor, no joke.
I took forever to decide, because they all looked so good, but I eventually decided on cotton candy flavored ice cream, in a cone, of course. Chad got chocolate flavored in a cone and paid for both of us. Then we sat down at a table and got to eating.
I licked my ice cream blissfully. It was absolutely delicious, by the way. "This is really good. I think I've found my one true love in the form of ice cream," I said happily.
Chad smirked at me over his own ice cream cone. "Oh, so now you're cheating on me with the ice cream?"
I grinned at him mischieviously. "Why, are you jealous?"
He shrugged. "Well, if you prefer cold and creamy over charm and good looks, then I suppose I'll just have to deal with it."
I giggled. "Charm? Good looks? I dunno about that, Cooper."
"Ooh, that hurts, Sonny," he teased back, smiling that perfect smile of his. It really should be illegal for someone to look that good. I'm just saying.
Anyway, I don't really remember how I replied back, because all of a sudden a loud voice came from the doorway, saying, "Oh, Chaddy! Where are yoouuu?"
Chad's face paled. "Please tell me that's not who I think it is."
I peeked over the little wall separating us from some of the other diners and stared at the black haired girl who'd just walked through the door and was looking around intently for something... or somebody. "Ok. It's not who you think it is," I said, trying to sound calm for his sake.
"You're lying, aren't you?" he said. Without waiting for me to answer, he handed me his ice cream cone and then ducked down underneath the table. His voice came from by my feet, "How the heck did she find us?"
"Well, your car is parked out front. It's not really that hard to figure out, Chad," I said helpfully.
"That was a rhetorical question."
"Oh... sorry."
We didn't have time to say anything more, because apparently Ashley saw me, and the next thing I knew she was standing in front of me, a smile on her face. "Where's Chaddy?"
I figured it was time to get back into the role of Chad Dylan Cooper's girlfriend. Good thing I'm an actress, right? "His name's Chad, actually. And he's my boyfriend, just so you know."
"I know he's around here somewhere," she went on, completely ignoring me. "Where are you hiding him?"
I rolled my eyes. "I'm not hiding him anywhere. I'm just trying to enjoy my ice cream. See?" I waved both ice cream cones in her face.
Ashley scoffed. "Do you think I'm stupid? I saw his car, I know he's here."
I shrugged. "Well, he's not. And he's not interested in you either, if you must know, so - "
"I don't believe you," she hissed. "Besides, Chad Dylan Cooper would never date a girl like you."
I raised my eyebrow and stood up to face her. "Is that what you think?"
"Well, of course. Why would Chad date someone as ugly as you when he could have someone gorgeous like me?" she sneered. I stared at her, unable to believe that she'd just told me that. Really, people are so rude nowadays.
I didn't have time to come up with a witty retort, though, because from under the table Chad's voice said angrily, "Shut up." Then he was suddenly standing next to me, glaring at Ashley, who just grinned. "Oh, Chaddy, I knew you'd come to me!" She sort of pushed me out of the way, and I nearly dropped my ice cream cones.
"I. Am. Not. Your. Boyfriend," Chad said between gritted teeth.
Ashley pouted. "Oh, you have short term memory loss. Let's see if this'll help you remember our love." Then she grabbed his shirt, pulled him towards her, and kissed him. On the mouth. Yeah, I know, it was really shocking. I mean, who the heck did she think she was?
I'm not really sure what exactly came over me at that moment. I just remember suddenly being incredibly angry. That's about when I shoved my ice cream cone onto Ashley's head.
Ashley shrieked and jumped away from Chad, then reached up to touch her head, which had ice cream and broken pieces of a cone all over it. I glared at her and held up the other ice cream cone threateningly. "You touch my man again, and this ice cream's gonna be shoved somewhere else."
Woah. Well, that didn't sound like me at all. Like I said, I honestly have no idea what came over me. But whatever it was, it did the trick, because Ashley sort of whimpered, held her head, and then ran out of the store. I brandished my ice cream cone and called, "And don't come back!" After an afterthought, I added, "Please!"
After a second of glaring at the door, I realized that Chad was staring at me. I cleared my throat and handed him his chocolate ice cream cone back. "Well, that was a waste of some good ice cream," I said, trying to sound nonchalant.
Chad laughed. "It worked, though. Thanks, Sonny."
I shrugged. "My pleasure," I replied.
He grinned. "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that you were jealous."
I stared at him, then started to laugh. "Haha! Jealous? You mean, of her kissing you? Pfft! Chad, are you crazy? I was not jealous." I shook my head, still laughing. I mean, the idea of me being jealous was just ridiculous, seeing as I don't even like him.
"Seemed like you were," Chad pointed out.
"Nah," I said, waving a hand dismissively. "I was just..." I paused, not sure how to describe why I'd been so angry. Finally I said, "I was just disgusted, you know, because... well, her kissing you was just gross." I added in a shudder for a better effect.
Chad didn't look like he believed me, but he shrugged. "Ok, then. Want me to buy you another ice cream?"
I sighed, glad he wasn't talking about it anymore. "Sure."
So I got another ice cream and Chad got rid of his crazy stalker girl (with my help). Yay! All's well that ends well!
Yes! I successfully finished my first topic post!
You know, that was actually really fun to do. Huh. I think I might just enjoy this!
Wow. I guess Chad actually had a good idea, for once. That's pretty hard to believe.
Well, that's about it! I think I have to go now, anyway, it's time for rehearsal. Speaking of which... So Random's awesome! Watch So Random, not Mackenzie Falls! Thank you!
Yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this.
Well, bye, guys!
Yay Sonny wisdom! I had fun writing in her point of view, though it took a while, because I haven't written in her POV in a while. C:
Well, thanks for reading! I really love reviews, so... please review!
