So I just read that in the episode Tween Choice, Sonny breaks up with Chad. Do you think it'll be permanent? Or do you think the writers just want to keep us hooked? Because personally I don't think the show can function without Channy. =) Love, Katie P.S. This is the last and final chapter! Thanks for reading everyone!

I don't own Sonny.

Once More

The consequences started as soon as she got home. She went in the back way and discovered much to her annoyance that the group of girls was still outside. Except now they were all crying and wailing. She waved to them before going upstairs but it only made the situation worse. One of the girls actually collapsed onto the ground.

"Crazy people," she said pointing to them. The man behind the desk nodded his head in complete agreement.

"Miss Munroe someone left this for you," he said handing her a red evelope.

She opened it and began to read.

Dear Sonny, I have to admit that I was pleased when I saw the broadcast. I've never seen Portlyn so mad before. She asked how you got away and she believed that you snuck out.

Also, I thought I might leave my car here for you to use until things settle down. Trust me; it will be useful if you are driving a car the paparazzi don't recognize.

Thank you for all your help Sonny! Give me a call sometime 555-6781

Love, Lydia

P.S. You have changed Chad, you really have. I wish you both the best of luck.

She smiled and entered the phone number into her cell phone then ordered the door man to shred it. She didn't want any chance of Portlyn ever finding out that Lydia had helped her.

When she walked into her apartment she discovered her mother sitting in front of the T.V. her mouth hanging wide and her eyes filled with tears.

"Sonny," she whispered.

"Hi mom," she said as she sunk down onto the couch next to her. At the moment the T.V. was off but she knew that she had seen the interview. "Sorry," she apologized. "I should've told you before this."

"I all ready knew Sonny," her mother whispered still staring at the T.V. "It's just a big deal, your daughter falling in love for the first time you know."

Sonny kissed the crown of her mother's head as she rose from the couch.

"Mom, you are the best."

"I know."

She checked her phone as she closed her bedroom door. Tawni, Nico and Grady all had left her messages which she would ignore. She plopped down on her bed with a happy sigh.

Girlfriend, it was such a simple word and yet it made her so ecstatic and tingly. Over and over she repeated the wonderful word in her mind. Just then her cell phone rang and she couldn't contain the happy squeal when she read the name.

"Hello?"

"Did m' lady get home safely?"

"Yeah," she blushed at the adorable nickname he'd given her just before saying good night.

"Good, I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"See you tomorrow."

Did he know what he did to her mental state? He turned her into a complete marshmallow. She touched her lips with a sigh, the very lips that he had been touching no more than half an hour ago. With another happy sigh she drifted off into sleep.

When she looked outside her window the next morning she saw that the group of girls was still there and that there were a million cameras and T.V. crews as well. It was actually semi surprising since it was a Saturday morning. She smiled as she thanked the heavens that it was Saturday. She wouldn't have to see Tawni, or anyone else for that matter. She could just hide safely away in her apartment. Even though Tawni had threatened to 'see her tomorrow' but Sonny guessed it was merely just to freak her out.

She put her complaint form against Portlyn in the envelope she had prepared for it and put the address of Condor Studios on it. She licked the stamp and put it in the 'to be mailed' pile on the table.

Just then there was a knock at the door and she answered it. She was delighted to see that Chad was dressed in a ridiculous track suit with a dorky looking sweatband on his forehead. She couldn't help but smile. He was the only person she knew who could manage to look dorky and sexy at the same time.

"It's the only way I could get by the press; I looked so ugly they thought I lived here!"

Sonny scowled at him.

"I mean good morning Miss Munroe," he said.

"Hi Chad," she responded. Before she could comprehend what was happening he had taken in her lips in his own.

"Good morning you two," her mother's voice came from the kitchen. The two pulled practically jumped away from each other.

"Come on in Chad," Sonny said gesturing to the couch. She couldn't help but smile as she noted the small red blush decorating Chad's lovely white cheeks. She sent a scowl to her mother who quickly disappeared with her bowl of cereal into her bedroom. But Sonny noticed that she left the door open.

"So," she said plopping down on the couch next to her completely dreamy boyfriend. "What's up?"

He immediately reached for the remote.

"Oh, do we really have to watch T.V.?"

"You really should see this Sonny," he replied.

Portlyn's face was on the T.V. screen giving some other reporter the '411' on what supposedly really happened.

"Sonny Munroe stole Chad Dylan Cooper from me, he never really liked her! He was just toying with her!"

"She is seriously impossible," she said, throwing up her hands in the air.

"Wait, it gets better."

"I would also like to say that the rumor is NOT true. I did not give her that black eye. She ran into a door! I didn't do any of those things she accused me of; she's a liar I tell you!"

Just then Chad shut the T.V. off.

"Will it ever end?"

"No," he replied honestly.

"I know."

He smiled at her and was leaning into kiss her when there was a cough from behind them.

"You know that this is totally disgusting, don't you?" Tawni's voice asked. Sonny whirled around her and her jaw dropped as she saw Tawni and Zora standing in her doorway.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"I came to give you this," Zora handed a stuffed unicorn her.

"What is it?"

"Portlyn isn't the only one who can plant video cameras. That's got everything you need to prove to Santiago that you were telling the truth for real."

Sonny stood up and nearly crushed the poor girl in a hug.

"Oh, Zora you are so sweet!" She cooed happily. "But I don't understand what you are doing here Tawni," Sonny turned to the blonde.

"Zora made me come," she pouted. "She told me that there would be cameras here," Tawni whined. "Instead all I find is you and Chad about to lip lock, like I haven't seen enough of that." She replied venomously.

"There are cameras here Tawni, come look!" She pointed out the window to the million people outside her window. "You didn't see them on your way in?"

"We flew came in the back way."

"You know about the back way too?"

"I did," Zora responded. "I don't want any press," she responded as she disappeared out the door.

"You know Tawni, if you go out the front, they'll be sure to see you! You can tell them you were here to see me. Then you can tell them how grossed out you are by Channy!"

"Even the mere mention of it makes me want to puke!" She whined unhappily. Sonny gave the blonde one more push out the door and she was finally alone with her boyfriend again.

"Let's see what's on this tape!" Sonny ran around the couch and put the DVD in. It opened on Portlyn talking on the cell phone.

"Yeah, I gave her a black eye. She totally deserves it. I mean I have to keep her away from Chad; she isn't good enough for him. And he doesn't even love her. I mean come on! What do you mean by that? Of course he's NOT in love with her. How can you think he is?"

There was silence for a few seconds then Portlyn laughed.

"Oh Lydia, you are truly evil. Sabotage sounds perfect! This is almost as evil as what I came up with. Now Lydia, this has to stay between us because if anyone ever finds out about this, I could get fired and we wouldn't want that. Not if you want to keep your job."

Then the video ended.

"This is awesome! It shows her not only plotting against me, but threatening poor Lydia!" she exclaimed as she popped out the DVD and turned on her computer.

"Are you making a copy?"

"Yes, this way there's one for Santiago and one for Mr. Condor."

"You're going to send it to Santiago?" He asked obviously surprised.

"Anonymously," she responded as the DVD finished copying onto her computer. She popped in another blank DVD into her computer and clicked BURN on the file she had just created. Chad was looking at her like she had grown three heads.

"Don't look at me like that Chad, I won't tell them it's me. I have to expose her lies if I ever want to get a second of peace with you," she told him as the DVD finished burning. She put one DVD in the envelope addressed to Mr. Condor resealed it and addressed a blank envelope to Santiago. She set them back on the table.

"I hope she gets fired," Sonny hissed menacingly as she sat down on the couch again. Chad turned to her and smiled.

"Oh, she will."

There was a minute of awkward silence and then Chad cleared his throat nervously.

"She was wrong," he bluntly stated.

"Of course, she wrong about the whole thing."

"No, Sonny. She was wrong about my feelings for you."

"Oh?"

Her heart exploded in a loud burst inside of her chest as his fingers caressed her cheek gently.

"I love you Sonny," the words warmed her soul as they tumbled like honey from his lips.

She was now grinning stupidly. She tried to hide it, but it was no use. Her brain kept trying to comprehend the information he had just given her, but it just wouldn't compute.

"Chad," she whispered. "I-I sort of thought you might like me but I couldn't let myself hope that MMPH!" She was cut off by a passionate and deep kiss that made her head reel. When he pulled away there was a deep blush on his cheeks and an ecstatic grin on his face.

"How many times do I have to kiss you to prove my point?" he teased.

"At least once more," she whispered and then she brought his lips back to hers.
