Hello my lovely readers. Thank you for all the reviews. Appreciated x 67. I really do love them all. So kind of you guys to take the time to read my story. You all get HUGS. So anyways, enough tiddle taddle the story must go on.

Disclaimer: I do not own SWAC if I did there would be a new episode on every day. Sadly there is not.

Sonny's POV

I was sure I looked like a fish. My eyes were boggling out of my head and my mouth gaping. Chad looked over at me and laughed.

"You remind me of a fish" he said. I knew it.

"Gee thanks" I said sarcastically and he smiled apologetically.

"But a cute fish" he said and winked at me. I looked again at the scene before us. We were at the beach. I could tell even though it was dark. I could hear the crashing of the waves in the distance and smell the cool salty air. I adored the beach. The sand was littered in hundreds of flickering candles, each concealed in a coloured glass bowl, causing them to glow in various colours. There was a large white tent with twinkling lights snaked up the tent poles. There were more candles inside the tent.

"Chad" I said and he looked at me and smiled at my face "this...is...incredible" I had never seen anything so incredibly beautiful and romantic. I wonder how long it took him to set this up and I didn't even want to think about the cost. I had never been this spoiled before in my life. And just to think a few days ago I thought my birthday would suck.

"Do you really like it?" he asked. I wasn't sure but I thought I may have detected a slight bit of uncertainty in his usually cool and sure-of-himself voice.

"No" I said bluntly and his face fell "I LOVE IT" I squealed and engulfed him in a giant hug. He hugged me back and we stayed like this for what seemed like forever. This didn't bother me in the slightest. When I finally let go I looked up at him. He was staring down at me, with a rather strange expression on his face. Determination? I could tell behind the clear blue eyes that he was deep in thought. It was like he was working himself up to something.

Without warning his soft lips were on mine. I was slightly taken aback at first but when I had gotten over the initial shock I found myself melting into the kiss. Just like before his surprisingly strong arms snaked their way around my waist and mine around his neck. He was kissing me and I was kissing him back. This must have been the look he had on his face before. Working himself up to kiss me. I don't know why he had the uncertainty. Of course I would not push him back. I hadn't been making that much of an effort to hide that I like him and neither did he.

When we broke apart he smiled at me in a way he had never before. It wasn't a charming or flirtatious smile like the ones he usually reserved for his girls. It was genuine and true and it reached his eyes which were practically illuminated. I liked this smile most of all. I wished he would always smile like this. I smiled back at him.

"So" he said, snapping me out of my thoughts "Shall we go down?" he asked gesturing towards the tent. I nodded and he took my hand and was just about to lead us onto the sand when I stopped. Hmm. Me+sand+heels=catastrophe. "You will be fine" Crap had I just said that out loud. "Yes, yes you did" Oh my god I did it again. He smirked at me.

Even with his reassurance I still felt unsure about the heels, so I slipped them off and threw them down on the grass. He rolled his eyes at me as I grabbed his hand and sprinted towards the tent, being careful not to knock over any of the candles in case i set something on fire. I loved the feel of sand between my toes. It reminded me of being a little kid, back in Wisconsin. When I was little I had a sand pit in my backyard. Lucy and I used to spend hours in there. Building sandcastles, drawing in the sand. One day it was really hot so we brought out beach towels and spent the whole day pretending we were on the beach. I love sand.

Inside the tent was a table. There were two chairs on either side. It had a small, velvet, red table cloth draped delicately over the top. There were two more candles and a small bunch of roses in the middle. We sat down and as if on cue a waitress that Chad had obviously hired for the evening stepped out. She had two glasses of Coke and two gleaming silver platters balanced on a tray. I took a small sip of coke as she put the platters in front of us.

One if the most delectable smells were coming from the food. I looked down at it eagerly. There was a juicy looking stake on a bed of salad. Chad had the same thing and he was looking at me as if to wait for me to try it first. The waitress bid us a good evening and left us alone. Being to hungry to wait for Chad I picked up my knife and fork and cut into the steak. I lifted it up to my lips and smiled as I popped it in my mouth. It was so good.

"Is the meal to your liking?" Chad asked me and I nodded because my mouth was full of food. Once I swallowed I took another sip of my drink.

"Is it to yours" I asked him and he merely shrugged. I raised my eyebrows at him and he sighed. "Well being on the second most popular show I wouldn't expect you to know" He ignored my sigh and kept on explaining "You see, we at Mackenzie falls have standards and privileges."

"I don't understand you" I admitted. I got the privileges but the standards had me stumped.

"Well, being the highest rated show we get treated specially, but even if we were not the number one show, like that will ever happen, we still wouldn't eat the crap you call food that you guys get from the cafeteria because I swear I have seen it move on more than one occasion" I felt a pang of jealousy as i realised what Chad was saying, however conceited it may be, was right. He and his cast got the royal treatment (lobster, steak, silver platters) and the rest of us were left with the choice of Ick, Ick on a bun or Ick on a stick. Choices, choices.

The rest of the meal was great, we talked about our shows and casts, we talked about movies and TV shows. I never realised how much we had in common. I turned out the more we spoke the more open and friendly he became and I knew this was not an act because he seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say and he never interrupted. Not once. We laughed and joked as we ate. We were given a huge piece of chocolate cake which we both shared and seeing as it was my birthday he gave me the last bite, with one condition.

"Chaaaaaad" I whined, I did not like his ultimatum. "Do you have to?"

"It depends" he said.

"On what" I asked cautiously.

"How much you want this delicious, delectable, last ever bite of chocolate cake" he challenged, arching an eyebrow. "But if you don't want it" He started and brought the spoon up to his lips "Then you wouldn't mind if I had it then would you Sonny?" He was just about to eat it when I threw my hands up.

"STOP" I cried and he did "Fine, have it your way, just give me the damn cake" I opened my mouth and let him lean forward and feed me. That was his ultimatum let him feed me, or surrender the cake. I wasn't about to let Chad have the last piece. That would by admitting defeat and I would never and it wasn't like I didn't enjoy Chad being so close to me, but I decided to let him think he had won by playing it up.

"There" he said content, "Not so bad now was it?"

"Maybe" I said and lent towards him "maybe it was one of the best or the worst experience of my life" I whispered softly. It was option A. He smiled and got up; I looked at him, confused. I never wanted this to end. He walked over to me and stood behind me his hands on my shoulders. I twisted round to look at him.

"Well" he said in barley a whisper and lent down to my ear, my heart picked up double time and I had to concentrate on remembering to breathe "How does this measure up then?" and he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me again, for the second time tonight. It wasn't like the first time. There was no hesitation, just eagerness and I was more than willing to go along with it. He kissed me for just a short time and then let go, not breaking his hold. We gazed into each other's eyes. I would usually get embarrassed when he caught me doing this before, but today the circumstances were different. Because it was just me, Chad and the beach. "Oh" he said suddenly and jumped back "I almost forgot" he came towards me again.

"Chad what are you do-AHHHHHH" I screamed because all went black. I kicked and thrashed around madly

"Shh Sonny, baby, it's okay, it's just me" Chad reassured me and I stopped thrashing, and calmed. It was just Chad clamping his hands over my eyes. "Now I need you to get up, can you do that?" he asked and helped me up, without removing his hands from my eyes. We walked, well he walked me, for a little while. I really hated the dark and because of Chad I can't see a thing.

"Hey Chad" I said sweetly, trying out my best do-this-for-me voice. "If I promise to keep my eyes shut can you hold my hand?" I really wished he would. I might of been lying about keeping my eyes shut but I really wished he would hold my hand.

Chad's POV

I thought about this for a moment. I would love to have let go and hold her hand, but I really wanted this to be a surprise and I knew as soon as I did she would open her eyes. Then I had an idea. I took my hands off her eyes and turned her round to face me.

"Thanks, Chad" she said and held out her hand. I looked at her hand for a moment, wanting to grab it, but I had to ensure she wouldn't peek. She looked at me as I searched my pockets for...ah here it is. I smiled as I pulled a piece of black material from my pocket. I was going to use this at first but I decided my hands would be better. "Chad what's tha-Hey, what are you doing?" she demanded as I wrapped the blindfold around her shocked eyes.

"I am just ensuring you keep your promise" I said, smirking. She groaned, but held her hand out again, wanting me to take it. Soon, but not just yet.

I waved my hands in front of her face, but her expression didn't change. I held three fingers up. Three was my lucky number at the moment. There were three words in my brilliant name, there were three seasons of Mackenzie falls the best show in the world and it was the number of times that Sonny and I had kissed(A/N I think it is three, it might be four, but for this chapters sake, I am just going to say three:p). As you can tell I like to change my favourite numbers a lot, although it has been the number five for a while."How many fingers am I holding up?" I asked.

"I don't know" she said, exasperated "I really can't see, now please just take my h-"

"How many fingers" I asked her again"answer Sonny, do you want thinking music" I started to hum. She covered her ears and scrunched her face up in faux pain. I was only humming for Christ sake, and I didn't think I was that bad either. I was humming the So Random theme song. Not that I watched it or anything, I just...knew the song.

"Three?" she guessed. She could never have guessed that! She may be talented, and smart and funny and pretty. STOP IT CHAD! Where was I again? Oh right yeah, she may be all those things, but she could not have guessed what number there was. She had to be able to see.

"You can see, cant you" I said and she shook her head.

"No I can't" she said, but I knew she was lying.

"Can too" I shot back and she put her hands on her hips.

"Can not"

"Can to"

"Can"

"Not"

"Can"

"Not"

"Can"

"Can" she said, but I was too caught up in the argument to realise she had.

"Not" I said.

"Gotcha" Crap, she had. This was just like the weird beard all over again (A/N from "you've got fan mail") She knew she had won the argument and started laughing. I stared at her for a moment but then started laughing with her. It was a rare chance when Chad Dylan Cooper is wrong and know one else would dare laugh at me. But Sonny was not afraid of me, which was one of the things i loved about her. Liked. Loved. Like-Loved. "Okay" she said, trying to breathe because of the laughing fit we just had. "Now do you believe me?"

"I have just one more test" I ignored it when she crossed her arms angrily and muttered something that sounded like "I'll give YOU one more test" I laughed at her.

"Well" she said and I looked at her "What's this test then"

Sonny, Sonny, Funny little Sonny. So impatient and I am sure she will get an A+ on this test.

"Guess what I am doing now?"

"I don't know, looking in a mirr-" She then shut up because I kissed her again. Three tonight. .on.. I really did enjoy kissing Sonny. She just fit in my arms and her lips are so soft. I didn't know what it was, but kissing Sonny was different to kissing other girls. When I kissed other girls it was usually just a peck on the cheek, they of course would want more but that is because Chad Dylan Copper is just so damn irresistible. It was usually just a quick peck because I would be breaking up with them the day after. But it was different with Sonny. It was passionate and it was not one sided, Sonny seemed to enjoy it as much as I do. And another thing was, again unlike most girls, one kiss was never enough. She always left me wanting more. I don't know if it was intentional but she just left me hanging. Like when you rent a movie from a movie store and it skips at the climax (A/N that happens to me a lot) or when you are reading a good book and the last page is missing or torn so you can't read it. If she wasn't so irresistible it would be seriously annoying. Oh and my favourite number just changed to four and it isn't just because that is the number of letters in my name.

"I didn't guess that, but I liked it" she said flirtatiously. God she was so cute. "So now will you tell me where we are going or at least hold my hand so we can go" I had almost forgotten about my surprise.

"Oh right" I grabbed her hand and started to walk forward again. "Thanks for reminding me" She smiled at me.

"Well one of us had to remember and it sure as hell wouldn't be you" I playfully nudged her.

"Aw you know you love me Monroe" I said.

"You wish" she said back playfully "Yeah" I mentally agreed with her. "I do".

"Well come on then" she pulled me forward, how did she know where to go. Well she probably guessed considering that all she had to do was turn around but still, very suspicious. We walked just a little longer. It was 7.15 and it was dark and windy. I noticed her shivering. I had forgotten her bare shoulders and legs. She must be freezing. I let go of her hand and she stopped. I shrugged out of my jacket and put it around her shoulders. When I did this she smiled warmly and hugged me. She could feel my bare arms and stood back and began to take the jacket off again. I stepped closer to her and tugged it back around her shoulders.

"Sonny, you are freezing, keep that on" I told her.

"But now I have taken your jacket you must be cold and I don' want you to get sick or anything" I sighed. Sonny was always putting herself last. Whatever she did. But this time I had to win the argument.

"Sonny" I started" What kind of a guy would I be if I just let a beautiful girl like you freeze?" I touched her arm and felt the all too common sparks fly through my body.

"Well what kind of a girl would I be if I let my date freeze?" she said.

"Umm" I started again. What a dumb question "a normal one" I hit my forehead and she smiled. But then an idea struck me. "Okay, I will take my jacket back" she stated to take it off again "if" she stopped "you send a text to all your friends saying how great I am and how much you love me"

"Love you?" she said critically.

"Yep love, four little letters just like my name" I started to check the letters C-H-A-D off on my hand, even though I knew she couldn't see through the blindfold.

"I won't" she said and put the jacket back on " and you are nut's if you think I will" That kind of hurt. Of course I didn't expect her to do it, but did she have to say she never will. I didn't think I was that hard to love. But I couldn't let her know it had hurt me. Thank god she had the blindfold on so she couldn't see the hurt in my eyes.

"Nut's" I questioned, trying to sound faux hurt, so she can tell I was faking.

"Yep nut's, four little letters just like your name" I sniggered as she said this and took her hand and started walking again. We walked just a little further down the beach and I smiled when I saw it. I would have to pay the crew extra for setting up so quickly.

"Okay, we are here" I said and she clapped her hands in excitement and started jumping on the spot. She was so excited. It was adorable. "Are you ready?" I asked her in faux anticipation.

"Yes" she said, even more excited now. I decided to play for a bit.

"Are you sure you're ready?" I teased.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" if she was excited before she was now almost hovering above the ground with the excitement. I was going to show her but I decided t play one more trick. I turned her round and faced her away from the surprise. I slowly untied the blindfold and then quickly ripped it away from her eyes. I could barely contain myself when I saw her face. It went from excited to confused to anger to confused again. She looked somewhat hurt and I felt guilt creep in. She didn't turn to face me she just stood where she was and stared at the open space before her. I couldn't take it anymore she just looked too sad. I put a hand on her shoulder and she slowly turned to look at me.

When I saw the small tears in her eyes it finally cracked my mask of composure. I quickly started apologising and wiped the tears away from her eyes. I can't believe I had hurt my Sonshine. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Sonny" I said and she looked at me "look behind me" she did, reluctantly. But when she did I saw the expression I was hoping for. Her face lit up and she looked as if she might explode. This was defiantly a better reaction. Yes score 1 for the Chadmiester.

Oh what's Chad's surprise? Well you will have to wait till next chapter to find out. I won't take long to update. I have some really good ideas for the next chapter. Did anyone notice I used the word FAUX a lot. I guess I just like that word. Speaking of words I had this really random idea just then. Send me a random word and I will try to use it in the next story. Oh speaking of random I was on the train today and my sister was like "do you know there is an physic octopus that predicts the football results" and I just cracked up and she was like "it's name is Paul" Which made me laugh even harder. We are random people. So thanks review and stick with it. We are coming to the end soon. I have decided on no more than 3 more chapters which will come soon.

Until next time
