Tawni's POV

"Hey, did you guys notice tension between Sonny and Chad?" I asked my cast mates curiously.

"Well, Chad kept staring at Sonny…" Grady noticed. "And she seems to be in a bad mood."

"Yesterday, she acted like a lovestruck fool," Nico pointed out.

"And now, her heart is… broken," I said carefully.

"You think Chad had something to do with it?" Grady raised an eyebrow.

"Chad can be planning to be rebound guy," Nico joked.

"Well, that could be true," I said. "They did 'secretly date'."

"Zora's been pretty quiet…" Grady pointed out.

We all looked at her and she started singing like a canary.

"What do you know about this, Sherlock?" Nico asked.

"Fine," Zora pouted. "I'll tell you."

We waited, and silence and tension filled the air. We could see Zora struggle to find the right words, which was interesting, because Zora always knew what to say, and when to say it up until now.

"Chad and Sonny have been secretly dating," she said quietly. "Sonny got into Chad's car and found a love note that she didn't write, and she thought that Chad cheated on her. However, I suspect it's Penelope. I know her handwriting and her perfume smelled heavily of lilac, which found on last month's Tween Weekly issue page 49 states that Penelope's favorite scent is lilac."

"She betrayed us again!" Grady almost shouted in rage. I could see Chad jump, a bit startled.

"Quiet down, nimrod!" I whispered. "Look, she's happy with Chad. Who cares?"

"Chad is… you know. He's so selfish and greedy," Nico said. "He's the enemy!"

"So? With Sonny, we're almost as popular as Mackenzie Falls, and we have more fans by the millions." I couldn't afford being this nice. "Sonny isn't funny anymore without Chad. Being a love-struck fool is better than being emo." Then I saw some emo people walk by… and I saved it. "Not that there's anything wrong with being emo," I said to my cast members. "But being depressed on a comedy show won't cut it."

After a while, my cast mates decided I was right… and pretty! Then I came up with a plan.

"Chad has to win Sonny back!" I said.

"How?" Nico asked.

"I don't know. I'll get her to the beach. Chad can come up with something. He may be greedy, but he isn't stupid," I said.

Chad looked at his watch. "Rehearsal time," he said, as if he wanted us to hear him. I got up and stopped him, and my cast mates followed me.

"Look, Chad, you've got to get Sonny back," I spilled out.

"What do you mean?" he chuckled nervously. "Sonny and I didn't date."

"Chad, I know things. You get a lot of information when you hide in vents," Zora piped up.

Chad paused, looked at her, scowled, then looked back at me, Nico, and Grady.

"Okay, fine. We dated behind your backs. And now, she thinks I cheated on her. Do you have to rub it in?" he asked. "I miss her like crazy."

"You do?" I asked. "Well, she's going to go to the beach at noon."

"Oh?" he said. "That's very valuable information."

"So, you have to win her back," I said.

He thought about it, then asked a really good question.

"Why do you guys want me to date her in the first place? I thought I was 'the enemy'."

"We want what's best for her," I said clearly. "Sonny is miserable, and being in what you call 'Chuckle City', you can't be miserable in comedy!"

"Okay, okay," he licked his lips. "What do I do?"

"Just come up with something. You may be a jerk-throb, but you aren't stupid."

That's when all of us walked away for the Mackenzie Falls "dramatic" effect. Then again, it was up to me to come with a brilliant plan.
