Chapter 25-Celebration

Chad's POV

"You want me to throw a random party?" I yell into the receiver and Sonny, and she sighs.

"Pretty much."

"Seriously?" I ask, "Just like that?"

"You always throw random parties!" She says, and I sigh.

"Point taken." I say, "I'm gonna need some occasion though. I usually have some sort of reason to party."

She sighs, thinking, before letting out a gasp that scares me a little.

"I know!" She yells.

"Is it the 'Chad almost died of a heart attack but he didn't' party?" I ask, and she sighs. "Sorry, honey."

I can imagine her grinning. "No. We'll…you'll, throw a party for your 'triumphant return to where you belong-drama central'."

"Sounds good to me." I say, "I'll announce it on the way to Mackenzie Falls."

"This is gonna be so fun!" Sonny smiles, "We'll invite all the kids on the lot, your family, my family…"

"Sonny!" I say, "Chill! This is my party-I'll take care of it. You know nothing about it, right?"

"Oh, right." She says, "Sorry. But if you need any help…"

"Sonny." I interrupt, feeling a little bad about it. "It's OK."

She giggles, and I imagine her giggling. She's so cute…

"Bye, Chad."

"Bye." I smile, hanging up. I then dial Ferguson's number, telling him all about the party.

Word soon gets out. I'm walking through the hallway, near to Meal Or No Meal, where I hear the lunchbox girls talking about it. That's every stage that's been talking about it now. Even So Random, but they won't admit it. Sonny told me, they're bursting with excitement. Weird.

Sonny's POV

I'm sat in my dressing room, as Tawni un-draws the curtain, wearing her 9th outfit so far, smiling.

"So?" She asks, doing a little twirl, "What do you think?"

I sigh, "The same as the last eight."

She groans, "That's not good enough!"

She heads back to her clothes, and I sigh as she roots through even more, and I sigh again.

"Tawni, you've looked fine in everything. Why do you need to look good for Chad's party anyway?"

It's me who should be worrying about that, I think, but I don't say it. Not before the party, anyway.

"Because I heard the Tween Gladiators are going, and I have to look more perfect than I already do! I bet Powerfist will ask me out tonight!"

She claps, before heading back to her clothes, and I sigh. Diva…

"Don't worry, Tawni." I say, supporting her despite everything. "You look as great and diva-ish as always in everything." I put an arm around her, and she looks confused.

"Uh, my space, remember?"

"Sorry." I say, pulling away from the hug.

"Thank you." She says, dusting off her designer clothes, before sighing. "Fine."

I grin, hugging her. OK, so it's a little awkward, but it's not too bad. Finally, a hug from Tawni, and date from Chad…my life here is working out well. I pull away from the hug, awkwardly, and Tawni does the same, before picking up her first outfit and I sigh. One and a half hours for that? Well, that gives me limited time to find an outfit that will look good enough for Chad. I bet Chad's gonna look a million dollars, and I'm gonna look a generous $50 at the most.

Tawni sees my panic, and smiles. "C'mon," She says, "I'm sure I can find something for you to look good in."

I smile, "Really, Tawni?"

She laughs, "Believe me, Sonny-ella, you shall go to the ball!"

I laugh, "Thanks, Tawn. You're not all bad, all the time."

"Same to you," She says, "You're not always annoying."

I laugh," Gee, thanks."

"Well, let's have a look now…"

Tawni's POV

"Wow, Sonny, you look amazing!" Nico says, as Sonny does a little twirl, and I smile. He's right; she does look pretty good. Just a dress from an old princess sketch, and a few little accessories, and she looks good enough for any Tween Gladiator to admire tonight, or any other guy for that matter, though I hate to say it, she does look really pretty.

She grins, that Sonny grin of hers. "Seriously?"

Everyone nods, including Zora, and I start to feel a little left out.

"Uh, hello?" I say, drawing attention to myself with a twirl, and Nico nods.

"You look great too, Tawni, as usual."

I smile, "I know!" I sit on the couch, my designer dress glistening, and with that, we decide to head to Chad's party.

"Um, guys?" Sonny says.

"What?" I ask.

Sonny shrugs, "I need to go…to the bathroom. That OK?"

"Uh…sure." I say to her, weirded out by her strange confession. Is she hiding something from us?

"Thanks guys," She says, "I'll meet you at the party, k?"

"No, we can wait for you…" Nico stars.

"NO THAT'LL RUIN EVERYTHING!" Sonny yells, before calming back down to her normal self, "I mean, I'll be fine. My Mom won't mind driving, plus I need to pick up my lip gloss from home…"

"So?" Grady asks, "Borrow Tawni's."

I gasp at this. "Nobody is borrowing my Coco Moco Cocoa!"

Grady and Nico sigh, they so don't get the importance of this lip gloss.

"Tawni's right," Sonny says, "I don't wanna cause any problems for Tawni and her lip gloss. See ya!"

She runs out the back room, leaving us all confused.

"OK, she's up to something." Nico says what we're all thinking, and I decide to follow her, the others following. If anything's going on with Sonny, I'll be the first to know-you can be sure of that. Not because I care or anything…coz I don't.

Sonny's POV

I sneak out the back of the studio, and smile when I see my ride.

"Heya, Sonshine." Chad grins, and I jump in the passenger seat, beaming.

"Everything ready for tonight?" I ask, and he smiles.

"Relax. I have it all sorted. The paparazzi are there and everything."

I smile, "Nice one, Chad." I say, "I think this is gonna be a party to remember."

We drive off, but not before I see four figures behind us, glaring at us, and I panic. That better have not been my cast…no…it couldn't have been. I sure hope not…

"Everything OK, Sonny?" Chad asks, and I cover my worry with a smile.

"Yep. All good."

"Good." He smiles, and we continue on, the feeling that my cast have seen me drive off with their rival eating away at my heart. It can't have been them…could it?

Oh, guys! Sterling's BIRTHDAY! WHOO! I'm singing the Chad bday song for him later...in my sleep, in my head, coz my family will think i'm weird... :P
