AU: Hi all! (: I haven't written in ages, but my exams just finished so why not? I've had a few people ask me to write a sequel, of sorts, to Asking Out Sonny Munroe. Personally, I thought this is a little clumsier, because I grew lazy near the end and couldn't be bothered to do it word for word till the end. So I ended it in between them leaving her house and them going on their second first date.
This is set in FFTFPT2, after Sonny broke up with Chad, right before they made up.
I have another story/stories? Coming out soon, so stay tuned for that. But I hope you enjoy this!

Asking Out Sonny Munroe, Part 2
Sonny Munroe stared at the television dejectedly as it blared the theme song from Mackenzie Falls, and Mackenzie's woeful face appeared next to the waterfall as the resounding orchestra played the final bars of the Falls Symphony.
She felt a painful urge to pick up the remote and aim it squarely at Mackenzie's jaw, or even better, his shiny blue eye.
But then she realized that her mother might not appreciate it that much, especially if the screen cracked. She scowled as her boyfriend, no, ex-boyfriend, waltzed across the screen as one of the female leads leaped, yes, leaped, into his arms. Less than 48 hours ago, this would have made her swoon, but now, she could only feel a rather empty throbbing in her chest that refused to go away and a very angry throbbing in her arm which wanted to direct a very painful punch at certain parts of Mackenzie's anatomy. She reached for the remote as the words Chad Dylan Cooper flashed across the screen in big, bold, letters, but she couldn't bring herself to turn it off.
Damn Mackenzie Falls and its primetime slot. Damn Chad Dylan Cooper and his stupid show. Damn Chad Dylan Cooper and his shiny blue eye. Damn Chad Dylan Cooper and his show's theme song. Damn Chad Dylan Cooper and his flirty female leads. Damn Chad Dylan Cooper and the way he flirted back with his female leads.
She felt a sniffle form in her nose, and she reached for one of the many tissue boxes her mother had lovingly laid out for her.
She went through everything that had happened the night before- Chad opening the door of the private limo for her, the really cool Japanese restaurant, his blue twinkly eyes looking at her like she was the most amazing girl in the world, him drinking too much water, him puking all over her like she was the most gorgeous girl in the world... As she looked back, she really had a good time, despite the fact that she would probably never wear the pink cardigan or black skirt ever again, and now she had a fear of drinking too much water.
But then this morning, not only had he not apologized to her, he had also practically blamed her for the press they had received for his puking on her, and blamed her for making him nervous! Sonny replayed the whole thing in her head, though she knew she really shouldn't... It would make her feel worse than she already did. And the worst thing was, Chad actually seemed to care about her. It was just that he cared about himself a lot more.
'Honey... I've found a way to make you feel better.' Mrs Connie Munroe grinned, holding out a plastic bin. 'Tadaaaa!'
'Mum, I'm not going to throw up over a guy.' Sonny wrinkled her nose at the irony, continuing, 'Especially one that threw up over me.'
'No,' Connie laughed, 'watch.' She picked up the Season 1 DVD of Mackenzie Falls off the coffee table and dunked it into the bin. 'Mackenzie Falls, Season One. Done.'
Sonny began to smile. Trust her mom to cheer her up. And she knew her mom had a weakness for Mackenzie's blue eyes. After all, she was the one who had started watching Mackenzie Falls in the first place, which led to her looking for Chad, which led to Chad asking her out, which led to... this.
Connie picked up the second DVD, scorning Mackenzie's wistful expression, 'Mackenzie Falls, Season Two. Adieu!'
Sonny stood up. It was quite empowering. 'Season 3,-' she began.
But she suddenly realized none other than Chad Dylan Cooper was waving and gesticulating wildly at her from her dining room window. And he seemed to be hanging from some kind of rope.
Anger seemed to flush through her. 'What is he doing here?' she demanded.
'No, no, the rhyme is the fun part,' Connie explained.
'No! Chad-' she pointed. 'What is he doing here?'
She dumped the DVD into the bin and sat down angrily.
'Chad! What are you doing?' Connie exclaimed, running over to the window.
'The doorman wouldn't let me in,' whined Chad.
Sonny rolled her eyes. How typical. 'Which means he's doing his job.'
No way was she admitting that she had paid the doorman to ban Chad from her house. She had a feeling he would come and apologize, but it would probably be another insincere excuse.
'Sonny,' Connie said, 'he's on a rope... And appears to be slipping.'
Sonny knew her mom always had a soft spot for Chad Dylan Cooper.
'Fine.' She agreed grudgingly.
She could hear the window sliding open, and Chad climbing over the windowsill. 'Thank you, thank you-' he began.
And he promptly fell over the windowsill. Sonny folded her arms. She didn't want to watch Mackenzie Falls, let alone see the star of it, and her mom had just let him into her house? Whose side was she really on?
Connie walked over, a rather solemn expression on her face. Chad looked equally uncomfortable to be there. 'It's a little chilly out there,' he continued. 'Trust me, its colder in here,' Connie cut in. 'Am I right?' she smiled at Sonny, and tried to high five her. Sonny raised her eyebrows in return.
'See, I told you so.' Connie excused herself, 'I'll just leave the two of you alone-'
Chad walked to the side of the couch. 'Sonny, please,'
Sonny shot him a look that could kill.
'I-I've been thinking about what you said and you were right. You-' he caught sight of the bin, 'threw away Season 3?' A look of amazement came over him. 'I got a People's Choice Award for Season 3, that was my finest-'
Sonny shot him a look that could decapitate.
'It's not about me, it's not about me!' he tried to cover up futilely.
Sonny shook her head. It was time to settle this once and for all.
'You know what? It is, it's always about you! And how cool you are, and how you look! And that's never going to change!'
'It is,' he replied quietly, his eyes softening, 'already has.'
Sonny was sick of this. 'You know what Chad? Why don't you just leave the way you came in?'
Chad looked a little hurt, and Sonny immediately felt quite bad. After all, he had climbed a rope just to get into her house.
'Fine, but if you don't mind, I think I'll take this window.' He pulled open her window.
'Oh my gosh-' Sonny was suddenly breathless.
It was a huge billboard, with both their faces on it, perched on the opposite building, which said 'Chad is a fool for Sonny'. Sonny gasped in amazement. She knew Hollywood was crazy, but she had never seen anything like this.
'I wanted the world to know- That I want to be seen with you anywhere, anytime- No matter how goofy your big brown eyes make me.' Chad's blue eyes stared into hers warmly.
'Wow...'Sonny smiled. 'I don't know what to say.'
There was no way she could not forgive him. Not after this.
'How about yes?' Chad suggested.
'To what?' she asked, puzzled.
He took her hand and squeezed it. 'To giving our first date a second chance.'
'Just say yes already!' came a yell from the next room. Her mom. Of course, she was rooting for the both of them all along.
'Yes!' Sonny replied with a laugh.
He offered her his arm and smiled. 'Shall we?'
Sonny smiled back. It was a perfect moment. 'We shall.'
Arm in arm, they walked to the door, but not before Connie passed Sonny a pair of shiny high heels. Of course, no date was complete without high heels!
As Chad led her out, Sonny put her head on Chad's shoulder. It felt right. He laid his head on hers affectionately. A butterfly fluttered in the base of her tummy, and her cheeks flushed with colour. Chad smiled at her, a shy grin that made her insides melt like butter. She had a feeling that watching Mackenzie Falls would never be the same again. She would probably be plotting murder for all his co-stars.
