Author's Note:

Here we go! Sorry I didn't upload last weekend. I was in Pennsylvania at a house with zero service on my phone, and no computer. I survived though!!! Haha.

Yes, it is the last chapter!!!!!!!!! I might make an epilogue chapter though. (If I did, it would be way shorter than this. 4,597 words people!!)

Oh, and I changed the rating to T, because it just feels like a more serious story than for a story for 9 year olds. (But if they want to still read it they can!! Heck, I was watching rated R movies before I was 13. Hehe.)

Hope you like this one! I'm switching point of views for this chapter, So pay attention to the parts.

Oh, and is 'embroided' a word???

And this is SOOOOO your Channy chapter.

REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY LONG CHAPTER!!!!!!!

I might make an epilogue chapter too. It would be way shorter though.

Chapter 20

Finale Chapter

1 Week and 3 Days later

Part 1

Breathtakingly Beautiful

Sonny's Point of View

I looked at my own vanity mirror in the dressing room then back at Tawni. She gave me an approving nod with a soft smile.

"How do I look?" I asked stretching my mouth in terror of her reaction.

"You…you look good." She said sighing, a little ashamed that she had to say that.

I beamed, and looked in the mirror again. The dress was ivory, and flow-y. It would've looked like a wedding dress if it weren't for the pink satin wrapped double around my waist finished off with a small delicate pink flower that was the same pink, and the embroided dark silver fake jewels. And I have to admit, I do look good.

I let out a breath and turned to Tawni, looking at her dress. It was red and strapless to her waist, and from there it was puffy but short. Her blond hair was halfway up, and the rest was gently resting on her shoulders with soft waves.

"You look beautiful, Tawni. He'll love it." I told her. Tawni had recently been seeing this boy she met in a Ralph Lauren store. Figures, right? But…anyways, he was surprisingly nice, and didn't let the money get to his head. Tawni gushed to me that she was changing into different dresses for the dance, and came out to look in the mirror and he told her she looked good. (Guess which dress she's wearing now?) One thing led to another, and within a week's notice, Ian and Tawni really started liking each other. He was now her date to the dance. I was happy for Tawni. She deserves someone like him, and he treated her well.

There was a knock on the door, and Tawni squealed excitedly at me for a second, and then quickly composed herself and answered the door. Ian's dark chocolate eyes, and dark short hair were handsomely prepared, and he wore a simple black tuxedo, and held his arm out for Tawni. She quickly locked her arm with his, and I smiled as best as I could for her.

I walked slowly behind them, feeling like a third wheel, when we walked into Stage 5 that was especially set up for the dance. Mr. Condor said that for the all the show's season's hard work, he would have a dance from 7 to 9:30.

I stepped through the heavy black doors, looking around expectantly for a typical dance party. I didn't expect it however to make me gasp, and backtrack on my steps. It was nothing like the fake prom I had created. The ceiling was covered so that you couldn't see its pipes, and the walls were glittering dark silver, and from the ceiling there were metallic stars hanging with elegant black lace hanging in triangular motion from the bottom tip of the stars.

The tables were clothed, and the food was simply pop and pizza, but displayed making it look exquisite.

For a half hour, I merely studied the decorated pastries, and treated myself to some Coca-Cola.

"Um, Sonny, do you want to dance?" I heard a voice ask behind me.

I turned around to see Chad standing sheepishly, with his hands in his pockets. I was a little surprised, but at the same time, I wasn't.

I nodded softly, "Sure."

I knew it was a slow song, and he knew it was too. We weren't the type to gush over the fact though. He took my hand leading me to the dance floor, and I began to realize how much I had missed them.

I didn't rest my head on his shoulder, because I still wasn't sure what this meant. The fact that he was asking me to dance, I mean. I knew we were broken up….for now.

"Did you ever feel like it was never just us?" he asked softly, starting a conversation.

Part 2

It's Just Us

Chad's Point of View

"What do you mean?" she asked with her face scrunched in confusion. After she told me about her parents' divorce, guess who felt like an asshole? And I tried to say jerk, but that really wasn't a strong enough word for how idiotic I was behaving. I knew I had to make it up to her.

"Well," I began thinking back to when I realized it was never just us. "Right from the start we began dating, there was always someone around us. When I first first kissed you, I remember it was in front of your cast. And then when we officially got together, a pizza man came. Then the next day, we went and you met my mom. The day after that, Damon. Then we went on a date, and my father was there. And even when we were together at the studios, our casts were both together… And anyways, sometimes I felt like it should've been just us, you know?" I said. After my little ramble, I looked in her eyes, not trying to charm her or anything, but just to… look in her eyes.

She let out a sigh and then smiled suggestively, "It's just us now."

I rolled my eyes and smiled, "In a room full of people, who are probably staring at us as we speak."

She let out a small laugh, before looking around the room. I did the same, and saw almost every person looking over their shoulders or the person that they were dancing with's shoulders at us curiously. Well besides Tawni and the guy she was dancing with… they were looking lovingly in each other's eyes.

Sonny turned her head back to me, and smiled. "So…let's get out of here."

I looked at her surprised. Shouldn't she be angry at me? Despite my confusion, I smiled at her.

"Okay, let's go." I took her hand, in a leading matter and led her out of the door and to my car. We got in, and I let put the hood down as soon as I turned on the car. "So…where to?"

She twitched her lips in thought, and then spoke, "Well, not anywhere public. If we want it to be just us, then we shouldn't go anywhere where someone might get in the way of that…. But nothing too deserted because I don't want to freak out that a murderer will come out behind a tree."

I laughed a little, and she glared at me. I still smiled though. Then thought over what she said. I smiled at my memory, and Sonny looked at me confused. "I know where to go."

Driving to a place I knew as a child, the ride was quiet. But we didn't need conversation at that time. Needless to say, I don't think it would've gone too well when we were riding in a convertible with its hood down.

We were driving still with very little to go, and I looked up and noticed there was a full moon. In truth it was perfect for the setting we were going to.

I drove and parked in the grass because it was only on a side of the deserted street. You could see the small lake from here and Sonny smiled but didn't say anything. She didn't need to either.

I took her hand again, and led her down further along the long grass to a large maple tree whose leaves were branched out far making it a fairly large tree.

She smiled with innocence in her eyes. And I smiled, not showing teeth, at her.

She looked around, and finally after deciding from her twitched lips she took my jacket off. I was about to protest, as she laid it down beside the tree and sat on it, looking at the lake and the moon's spotlight. Honestly, she looked too beautiful to protest at all.

"Well," she laughed, "Are you going to sit or not?" She smiled and patted a spot next to her.

I smiled fully and tilted my head as I walked closer to the tree. I sat down next to her, and glanced at her once more lovingly.

"So how do you know this place?" she asked softly.

I smiled at the memory once more, "I used to come here fishing with my father when I was five. He, uh, taught me how to put a worm as bait and all that. I've never seen it at night though… This is a first."

Sonny brushed a hair away from my face with care. I looked in her eyes again, and saw that what we had wasn't going away for a long time.

She took away her hand embarrassed, and looked back at the lake. My eyes never left her though, and I put my arm around her and she snuggled into my neck.

"I was in denial for my feelings for you, because I was convinced all relationships were doomed to fail." She said looking at the water's shimmers. I stroked her hair softly, allowing her to continue.

"I mean, my mom and dad. And when I heard about your mother and father… " She paused and her eyes brimmed with tears. "I just got so scared again." She whispered. She looked up at me, with tear-glassed eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey." I said softly, and I stroked her cheek.

"And look at us Chad! We haven't been together for almost two weeks." Sonny said, breaking the silence of our relationship problems.

I sighed and looked down, "I know… 1 week and 5 days."

This made her laugh, "You've been counting?"

I shrugged a smile playing on my lips, but then my expression turned serious.

"I was an idiot…for pushing you away, and being a jerk. I just… I didn't know how to deal."

She put her arm around my waist and hugged me as best as she could with one arm. "I know, and surprisingly, I wasn't that mad at you being a jerk. I was just mad you wouldn't come to me. Don't you remember? It's what I'm here for." And I remembered her words from the Gilroy interview. It felt so long ago, because we've made it this far.

I pulled myself away from her grasp and turned to face her. "You know I love you, right?"

She smiled and nodded, "I know."

I let out a laugh at her response and looked at my lap.

"I love you too." I looked up, and I placed a hand on her cheek and kissed her softly, and then pulled her back into my chest, and kissed her hair.

"God, I missed you." I let out in relief. She laughed a little and looked up at me and placed another sweet kiss on my lips.

Part 3

Never Over

Sonny's Point of View

The air was cool and brisk in the dawn, and I shivered in realization of how cold I was despite whose arms I was in. I shook Chad's body and he groaned as he woke up.

"Hmm?" he said groggily.

"We stayed out here all night! What will people think?! We have to go back!" I said frantically.

Chad's Point of View

"Sonny, Sonny, Sonny!" I said hushing her up from her frantic calls. I was more awake now, and extremely happy, remembering last night.

She calmed down, and let a breath of air out, the cool air showing how cold it was. "Just us, remember?" I reminded her and she smiled.

"You're right. Sorry." She said, warming up to my arms.

I stood up though, and looked at her twitching my lips like she does when she's thinking hard.

"What?" she asked, a little sleepily now that she's calmed down.

"It's cold." I said.

She let out a scoff and smile, "Thank you Captain Obvious."

I rolled my eyes, "So… let's get some Denny's." I said playfully.

Her eyes narrowed at me, not in anger, and she tilted her head before saying, "You are one strange boy, Cooper." She stood up though, clearly enjoying the idea of some warm breakfast food.

When we got there, Sonny surprisingly sparked up a conversation of how we should announce that we're back together. This surprised me though.

"Sonny…we were never over to begin with. We were in a fight, yes. But not over. It could never be over."

She smiled a really large smile and said, "So…"

Reading her mind,(kind of), I replied, "So…we've been together for 4 weeks and 1 day, and yes, we don't announce it, because we just walk in like we were together all along. Anyone who thought we were broken up, clearly don't know us." I smiled at her.

She groaned, "Ugh…"

I looked at her with the smile wiped off my face, "What?"

"It's just…" she paused and looked up at me, when my face showed worry at her words so far. "I had no idea you were good at math!"

I backtracked on what she said and rolled my eyes in frustration. "You're gonna get it for that." I said my eyes narrowed at her.

She laughed rocking back and forth, "You should've seen your face!!"

She stopped laughing and confidently said, "Still think I'm not the best actress of all generations?"

"Wha-wha-what?! Your label is best actress of THIS generation! Since when did you change it to all?!" I said frantically.

She rolled her eyes, "Relax superstar, you can take best actor of all generations. Remember? If I'm actress, you're actor."

I still narrowed my eyes at her, in spite of her suggestion. After a few seconds though, I leaned across the table and gave her a peck against the lips. A flash was spotted by my eyes, and I turned my head around looking suspiciously.

"Did you see that?" I asked her.

Sonny fake-smiled and talk through her smile, "Yea, I think the paparazzi are here."

"Ugh, I do not feel like dealing with them." I said rolling my eyes.

She decided to let her fake smile go and turned back into her normal expression. "You know they thought we…." She put air quotes around the word, "'Broke up' because you had commitment phobia."

I laughed out loud, "Haha, seriously? Wow, Tween Weekly needs to get their facts straight. We weren't talking because…." I knit my eyebrows in confusion, "Because I was ignoring you." I said sadly and ashamed.

Sonny reached out and put her hand on top of mine. "Hey, don't feel bad. It's not like when I tried to talk to you, I did well. Haha. Chad, it's okay. It's like you said. It was never over."

I looked up and smiled at her fully. "Yea…you're right."

"Ready to go back?" I asked. She pulled out her cell phone and looked at the timing.

"Hm? Oh yeah, I need to get out of this dress."

She was wearing her dress with my leather jacket on top. I did a look over at her.

"You know Sonny, I was wrong."

She looked at me confused.

I gave her a charming smile, "You are kind of hot."

She laughed and blushed deeply, then narrowed her eyes. "Better than Megan Fox?"

"Well…" I began playfully. She smacked my arm and scoffed.

I laughed, "I'm just kidding. Of course, but you are beautiful too."

She rolled her eyes, "You are so cheesy Chad."

I smiled goofily, "But you wouldn't have it any other way." I said taking her hand in mine as we walked out of the door quickly to get to the car without being seen.

When we got to the studios we sneaked through the back entrance quietly, seeing as it was around 5:30 am and no one but staff was here, and we really couldn't risk getting in trouble.

I kissed her cheek quickly, "Okay, I'm going to get changed, you do the same…Keep the jacket," I added, "And then I'll meet you back in front of the doors okay?"

She nodded and we traveled on our tip-toes looking like spies in opposite directions.

Part 4

Caught

Sonny's Point of View

I finally made it tip-toeing to my dressing room. I carefully turned the knob, and entered backing up, while closing the door very quietly.

"Where have you been?" Tawni said behind me.

I spun around and gasped, "Jesus, Tawni you scared me."

"Where have you been?" Tawni asked with narrowed eyes like a mother.

I innocently shrugged and said, "Nowhere."

"Oh really….? That explains Chad's jacket and the fact that you're still wearing the same clothes as last night." She said amused.

"Um…Tawni, I know it looks really bad, but I assure you nothing happened." I said, knowing she was thinking the wrong things.

"Then why are you glowing?"

I gave her a confused look and she explained it to me, "You know, your face is glowing all happily and stuff."

"Oh Tawni," I gushed, "It was so romantic! We were by a lake where the moon was glistening and he told me he loved me. Tawni! He said he loved me!!! And then we fell asleep in each other's arms!" I said, coming closer, my smile wide.

She gasped happily, "He finally told you he loved you?"

I nodded quickly and squealed as quietly as I could.

"Hey Sonny, are you almost—" Chad opened the door and stopped midway through the sentence when he saw Tawni. I spun around and looked at him with pursed lips trying to look innocent.

He laughed, "Let me guess you told her everything, huh?"

"No!" Tawni said disappointed. "She only gave me the basics!"

I backed out slowly, to my side of the dressing room trying to get the clothes I needed and sneak into the changing room without Tawni noticing.

Too bad. "Where are you going now?"

"I have to change Tawni."

"Oh, okay." She said disappointed again.

"Don't worry we'll talk soon I promise." I told her with a smile.

Chad's Point of View

Tawni took a step toward me, once Sonny went in the changing room.

She glared at me and waved her finger at me accusingly. I would back out of the room if the door wasn't closed.

"You better not be playing some joke. I swear, if you ever hurt her, I will hunt you down and rip all your pretty-boy hair out, one by one. Do you know how much I had to go through during the fight?" She whispered threateningly at me.

"Tawni, it's no joke, okay? You should've seen me during the fight. I was moping around and I couldn't even act. Do you know who I am? I'm Chad Dylan Cooper! I act. And the only way I could ever hurt her, is by loving her too much." I said sincerely.

She widened her eyes by my admittance, and then narrowed them in reassurance once more. "So you love her?"

"More than my car, which is something that I love more than myself. And more than she'll ever know." I said, knowing that was a rather large reassurance.

She gasped, and finally broke out in a large grin. "So you took her to a lake?" She asked with curious eyes.

"When you say just lake, it doesn't sound romantic enough." Sonny said from behind me. I turned around and walked up to her, putting my arms around her waist.

"There was a simple tree…Maple was it?" She asked looking up at me. I nodded agreeing. "It was rather large, and in the calm lake you could see the fool moon's reflection shimmering across it."

I kissed her cheek, "I'll let you two talk." She nodded and smiled in thanks of me.

"Oh, here's your jacket." She said handing it to me on the way out.

I smirked, "I told you to keep it."

She looked surprised, "You mean, keep it keep it?"

I shrugged, "Why not? You look hot in it."

She rolled her eyes, and kissed my cheek. I decided to head on home for now.

Part 5

Unfazed

Chad's Point of View

I walked in the house, expecting my mom to be up and ready to yell at me for not being home last night. Instead it was eerily quiet.

"Mom? I'm home!"

She came out and appeared in the hallway, "Honey, there's someone here."

I walked to the living room confused as I saw my father sitting on the couch waiting for me.

I scoffed, "You have got to be kidding me. Do you always ruin my day? I just got back from telling Sonny I love her, because we were in a fight because of the fact that I was a jerk, because of you."

Honestly, I was a little unfazed by his appearance.

"Chad, I came for another chance." He said sincerely, and suggestively happy.

My mother was looking proud and smiled at the fact of my chance to bond with my father.

I licked my lips and laughed. I sat down on the couch across from him, and looked up at both of their confused expressions.

I brought my hands together to explain, "All my life, I've been waiting for you to come through that front door and say that—"

"I know and I'm sor—"

"No, let me finish." I said. I paused for a second and thought of how to break this slowly. "I've also gone through my whole life without a major father figure…and honestly… I don't mind how I turned out. I have everything I want right now." I told them.

"No I don't have a father figure, and yea, it might be good to have one. But… I'm with Sonny. I'm in contact with my cousin, I'm close with my mom."

"Hey Chad, you left your credit card in the dressing room!" Sonny called out. I stood up, and approached her. She looked around the room and then back at me. "What's going on?"

"This'll only take a second." She stood locked in her place while I put my arm around her waist.

"There was something I learned from someone." I looked at Sonny and she smiled. "I have so much out there for me right now. And frankly, I'm quite thankful for what I have. People walk out. But that doesn't mean I'm the only one who's been through that. I have my own version of a family, and it sounds good to me." I said looking at Sonny again. She smiled wider than before.

My mother looked a little disappointed by my choice, but I think she began to realize how happy I was because she began to smile proudly at me.

My father looked shocked and a little angry at my choice.

I didn't bother though. I led myself and Sonny out before he could say anything to me.

"Are you sure that was the right thing to do?" Sonny asked me once we were in the car.

I sighed, "No, I'm not really sure. But it felt right." I smiled at Sonny.

She looked at me in admiration, "I love you." She said taking my hand across the passenger's seat.

I smirked, "I know." Sonny laughed. And I automatically replied, "I love you too."

And then we drove off into the sunrise together.

Just kidding. We went to work together.

Hehe. I'm not so sure about the ending, haha. But I hope you liked it!!!! Epilogue chapter???? But before anyone wastes their time asking, NO I WILL NOT MAKE A SEQUEL STORY!!!!!!!!
