Disclaimer: I take my time to write a disclaimer, and I'm thinking, now, if I'm writing a disclaimer, what makes people think that I'm claiming something or that I own something possibly? Heck, I don't even own a pet fish. So… do I own Sonny With a Chance? GUESS.
Late Christmas present by an hour or two, but here it is!
And stick to the end, because there's a thanks to people!
Ooh a good song is on… I need to get up and dance. This is one of the only times I can because it's about 2:00 AM and no one is watching me. Peace! *V*
ENJOY! :D

Chad's POV
Well, Christmas was just three days away. Christmas, the happiest, jolliest time of the year, and the time of year where the biggest Hollywood parties were. In fact, the party of the century would happen in just a matter of 48 hours: The Mackenzie Falls Christmas Eve Party. And shortly after that in a week or so, The Mackenzie Falls New Year's Party.
Yep, everything was going according to plan. Everyone was happy.
Except me. Here we go again.
The thing was THAT NIGHT. THAT NIGHT was just about a week or two ago. Yet, it still felt like it happened yesterday.
Just another Romeo and Juliet story… how cliché of us.
I regretted those words the moment I said them. Romeo and Juliet, that forbidden love story, was the one perfect way to describe me and Sonny… without all the killing and poison and pumpkins turning into glass slippers and whatever. And really, it was just another way of saying that we couldn't be together.
But really, the true reason why I regretted those words, was because Sonny hadn't talked to me, or texted me, or argued with me since. And I mean, some way of communication was better than nothing at all, right? And, didn't she remember that night? It was something to hold onto, right?
I know there's no way I can forget it.
"Chad… Chad?" Penelope snapped sweetly.
She had a sweeter, gentler way of snapping when she was around me. Usually when she snaps using her tone, it's very sharp and that girl in the school uniform with the mini-skirt and the two pigtails paired with Mackenzie Falls blue bows didn't look so innocent anymore.
"What?" she took me off of the train of thought I had boarded.
"We have to plan some more!" she urged cutely again, while giggling and smiling.
"Um… yeah. Okay, okay," I licked my lips. "So the theme…"
"The Falls At Midnight," she fantasized. "It will be in the large room where the grand balcony was added on so we could use it for Season 2, Episode 159, Scenes 1, 5, 6, and 8. That way on the inside it looks like midnight, and on the outside it'll blend in."
The idea wasn't half bad.
"Okay, um, that's actually really good. We'll get the lights guy to put in the 'stars' and the 'moon'. We can get the set-makers to set up some clouds. And we'll get a few replica fountains and waterfalls from the show to the room," I said.
"And outside, there will be mistletoe…" she said.
"Sure… why not?" I wrote it down. "Oh, and guests?"
She took out her phone. "Okay, okay… how about the Teen Gladiators, Meal Or No Meal girls, What Not To Wear Crew, and we've got Lady Gaga, David Beckham, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Victoria Adams, Bruno Mars, P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne…"
I scribbled the names down. I eventually got a guy to write it down for me, and the Falls cast called everyone. I got caterers from pretty much everywhere. Felt like eating sushi? Felt like eating a hamburger? Felt like eating steak? Didn't matter. It'd all be there.
Oh yes, life was good.
I was walking to the cafeteria to get a fro-yo when I walked into someone. Little Miss Sunshine.
"Watch where you're—oh hi, Sonny," I said.
"Hi… you seem kind of busy," her tone was… different.
"Wow… you don't seem very sunny today do you? What happened?"
"Ah… my flight to Wisconsin got cancelled."
"Hey no problem. You'll be able to come to the Mack Falls Christmas Party, hottest party of the year. Ooh, scratch that. Hottest party of THE CENTURY."
"Who's coming?"
"Lady Gaga, P!nk, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, David Beckham… you name it."
"Sterling Knight?"
"Disney guy? Yeah. Everyone's gonna be there. Got them all on the list. I reckon you're on the list too. I'll double check."
"Thanks. I might be able to come then. See ya later, I guess," she started walking away.
"See ya. And invite your friends from Chuckle City."
I walked in the other direction. Fro-yo wasn't important. I just had to make sure her name was on the list.
~.~.~.~.~.~
Sonny's POV
Wow… Mackenzie Falls Christmas Eve Party.
Even more shocking, Chad had spoken to me for the first time in about… two weeks.
I headed to the prop house. "Guess what guys?"
Nobody responded. I could see them all in there though, except for Zora… probably in the vents.
"C'mon guys, it's something exciting."
Tawni replied. "What's more exciting than nails? I'm getting them done today."
"And that's great!" I said cheerfully. "Just in time too, because we're invited to go to the Mack Falls Christmas Eve Party on Christmas Eve!"
"Chocolate fountain?" Grady and Nico yelled in delight.
"Cute boys?" Tawni squealed.
"Hand-woven Asian rugs?" Zora just appeared out of nowhere.
Eh. I was used to it now.
"Chocolate fountain: yes. Cute boys: If you count David Beckham. Hand-woven Asian rugs: Are the Falls cheap?" I said, and they all jumped in a good way.
"I can't believe it! Our first big Hollywood party!" Zora squealed.
"You guys have never been to a Hollywood party?" I asked, kind of in shock. In shock, because they had been in Hollywood much longer than I have. And 'kind of' because cheese pants don't get you far.
"Well, I have," Tawni batted her eyes, but knowing her, I saw right through it.
"Okay, well guys, I guess I'll see you tonight," I waved and walked out.
"Wait where are you going?" Grady stopped me.
"Yeah, we have a sketch to do," Nico added.
"Eh, it's almost Christmas Eve. I say, I'm getting shopping done NOW. Maybe a manicure. A pedicure," I said, then continued walking out.
I got about to my car when I heard a blonde running in her clacking high-heels behind me, trying to catch up. "Sonny, wait!"
I turned around. "Hey… Tawni."
"Hey! I'm gonna shop with you!" she squealed.
"O…k…" I said a bit uneasily.
"Don't worry it'll be fun. Who's better to shop with than me?" she squealed again.
Tawni always squealed… no one ever knew why. The voice matched blonde curls, pink bubble gum, and designer flip-flops though, so it pretty much made sense.
"It'll be fun!" she said. And she got out her keys and pointed to the red Porsche. "We're taking my car though."
No turning that down… hehe.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Christmas Eve – Few Hours Before the Party – Sonny's POV
"You look great," Tawni gasped as I twirled around in my sparkly red party dress that I had bought a few days ago. Apparently, shopping was a great way to break the ice even further with Tawni. And now, we were somewhat friends.
"I love it!" I squealed like Tawni. She had been growing on me… I quickly shivered it off.
The dress was beautiful though. About an inch above my knees, strapless, decorated with sparkly red and gold sequins. My hair which had been done at the local salon was in an elegant side ponytail with a decorative gold flower to match. I put on my gold half-heart as an accessory.
Then it was Tawni's turn to twirl, and really she looked stunning. Her hair was done up in a messy ponytail which somehow looked elegant. Her dress was a rich green that had spaghetti straps and went near above her knees. Her shoes were silver and so was her matching hand bag. On her neck laid a necklace of fine diamonds which must've cost a fortune, and from what I could tell, they weren't fake.
And when you're in Hollywood even for a month (or a little longer like me), you'll find that you know the difference between fake and real.
"Stunning, Tawni. Really," I said, smiling.
"You think so? Better be to flirt with David Beckham!" she giggled.
"He's single and ready to mingle…" I said a bit jokingly in a sing-along type voice.
But it was true. He was hot and single. As if there could be a better combo.
"And in just a few hours, we'll be at our first Hollywood party!"
"You mean YOU'RE first Hollywood party."
"Yeahhhhh…" I said faintly.
But really, I was just so excited. I had never been this excited before about a party. Correction: Never this excited about going to the Falls. Heck, some of my most famous arguments with Chad took place there! It should be an angry place of all things.
But really, it had been the first time Chad had talked to me since… well, the talk show. And we both had feelings for each other… and well…
"Hope there's mistletoe!" Tawni giggled. "Keep your fingers crossed!"
I promise you Tawni, my fingers are crossed.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~
(Moments Before the Party) Chad's POV
"This is wrong. It's all wrong!" I shouted. I mean, it wasn't PERFECT. And it was CHRIATMAS EVE. It had to be perfect.
Ah, but it was too late. The guests were already coming in.
"Aw, it's beautiful!" a familiar brunette's voice rang across from the loud party music and the whoops and cheers from guests.
"I know! My first Hollywood par—I mean my one millionth one!" a blonde's voice followed.
Both of the girls looked at each other. Sonny was the first to speak after a silence filled with awe. "So what do you wanna do first? Eat or flirt or dance?"
Tawni said, "Sonny, it's Christmas Eve. We can EAT while DANCING while FLIRTING!"
"Hey Chad," Penelope interrupted the scene.
"Hey… Penelope," I said somewhat distracted, trying to get a better view of Sonny.
"So Chad, you think you could meet me outside later?"
"Um… yeah, sure, whatever."
"Cool. See you there."
And then she KISSED me. On the cheek. But it was still a kiss. And it totally caught me off guard.
I looked at Penelope. She had a strapless light purple party dress with her hair curled in gentle ringlets that draped down her shoulders, her deep brown eyes… whoa.
Psh… I don't like Penelope.
Well…
NO.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Sonny's POV
"Mason you're so funny," I chirped up. Everything was going great and all, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Chad and Penelope. I knew there must've been some type of spark between them, but really.
And I could've sworn that Penelope sneered at me while walking past me.
"Haha, you're funnier, Sonny. So… random. In a good way," Mason smiled back. And really, why shouldn't I be happy? He was hot. Bright brown eyes, wavy brown hair, beautiful smile, perfect skin, looking more like a Greek God than anyone had the right to.
Well, next to Chad.
Chad… why did he always get up in my head like this? And ever since that night, it's been worse!
Ugh.
"Of course I'm so random. What's my show called?" I giggled at the lame joke and he did too. We both knew that it wasn't much of a joke, more like a flirty topic. Not a very good flirty one, but a topic.
"Haha, ooh outside I heard that—ah, nevermind, surprise. Meet me outside," he winked.
"Ah… hahaha okay," I giggled foolishly again aiming for flirty but in my eyes, looking like an idiot. He thought it was cute though.
So I did as he said. As I headed outside, I saw David Beckham and Victoria Adams come out together, smiling all dandy...
"We're going to my apartment here now?" David asked.
"Yes. Please!" Victoria replied quickly. David smiled as if he found it cute.
Hm…
I slid outside after they went in. The sky was a deep black and the stars gleaming silver. I could see why Mason wanted me out here… it was beautiful. And there were no Hollywood lights of any sort: all natural which made the scene even more breathtaking than necessary.
"Oh…" I let out a small sigh. I walked out to the edge of the balcony. It was hard to believe that this took place in the same building as the cafeteria that served ick, ick on a bun, and ick on a stick.
I heard the door open. "Mason?" I asked and turned around.
But I didn't see Mason… I saw yet another Greek God, except with deep blue eyes and perfect golden hair.
"Chad?" I asked, my voice going a bit squeaky and shaky.
"Sonny?" he asked. "Wow, you look great."
"Chad… um… hi. Thanks." I half-smiled. "I haven't seen you this whole time. Or I mean, talked to you during the party."
"Yeah, same," he said. "Um… Merry Christmas."
"Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too," I tried to sound warm.
"So how do you like the party?" he asked.
"Oh, it's great. You set it up?"
"Oh yeah, with Penelope…"
"Cool," it was a brief and short answer with the least amount of emotion possible. (I'm listening to The Gummy Bear Song! Just thought I'd let you know… LoL :P)
"Yeah, yeah…"
"Well, this was fun," I said. "Haha, why are you here?"
"Penelope wanted me to meet her here," I licked my lips.
"Oh… is there something special about this place?"
He shrugged. "Kinda. Why are you here?"
"Mason wanted to meet me here."
"Who's Mason?" his voice had a bit of an edge.
"Just someone…" my voice trailed off.
"Do you have feelings for him?"
"Yes… no… I don't know… I just met him."
There was a brief silence.
"It's really pretty out here. The stars are so bright," I opened up a totally new thing.
"Yes I am…" Chad smiled. I looked at him, and he caught on. "Oh! You mean the stars up there. Eh, they're aight. They don't have their own show."
I giggled. There was no reason to, but eh, it was Christmas Eve.
"Haha, that's right Allison," he said.
"Whoa… how'd you know that? My name I mean?"
~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Chad's POV
I couldn't believe what I had just said. It just slipped out. I kind of panicked.
"Um…" I stuttered.
This was big. Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't stutter.
Then again, whoever this Mason was, blech. Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't do jealousy.
And I decided to give it up. "You know that necklace? It's on your neck right now," I pointed to it. Sonny took it off. "Um… can I see it? Just real quick."
She gave it to me unwillingly, but she gave it to me. I took off mine and pieced the two together. My eyes widened, though I had suspected it all along. I showed it to her.
"Wow," she breathed. "A perfect match…" Her big chocolate brown eyes looked into mine. "Chad GOLDfarb?"
I felt a smile grow on my face. "Allison…"
"Chad!" she started laughing and she threw herself on me, her arms around my neck and my arms around her in a lost-but-not-forgotten hug. And of course I started laughing.
"It's been so long!" she gasped.
"I know it has. I kind of suspected it, but I wasn't sure…" I licked my lips.
"Ah it's really you!" she hugged me again.
And even this HUG was more of a spark than Penelope's kiss on the cheek.
"My Little Sunshine…" I said. And she giggled at the name.
"Wow… it's really you… you should've told me!" she said.
"We were fighting too much… and we haven't been talking since the talk show…" I said with a small pang of regret, but the joy of finding my Little Sunshine was still there. Surely, it would be the same for Sonny, if she was happy to see me at least. Happy to see me as Chad Goldfarb at least.
"About the talk show… you really have feelings?" she asked with her smile dimming slowly, and her voice became quiet.
"Do I really have—of course I do. I really do like you, Munroe."
"Same here, Cooper." (I'm now listening to "Firework" by Katy Perry… HaHa :P)
"And do you know what? Maybe our love isn't forbidden…" I handed her necklace.
She smiled. "I never thought it was."
"Pinkie promise?" I felt foolish as I asked.
"Pinkie promise," Sonny wrapped her pinky around mine.
"Haha, just like we're seven again."
"So what now?" she asked.
"I dunno. What do you think?" I asked.
She shrugged.
I looked up and I smiled at myself.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Sonny's POV
Chad was smiling. I looked up and saw a fishing pole like thing above the door which stretched to the edge of the balcony where Chad and I were. It was familiar, it was…
"Mistletoe," I thought out loud. "Mistletoe!" I giggled.
Chad looked at me. "What about it? You don't have to if you don't want to."
"It's fine… um…"
He leaned closer to me. I got closer to him, to the point where I could feel his breath on me, my lips just less than an inch away from his. I could feel his arms wrap around me. I pressed my lips against his. And he led the way.
Our lips moved like magic. They perfectly moved together in a certain magnetic rhythm. My arms were soon wrapped around his neck and his hand in my brushing through my hair. The whole world seemed to disappear and only Chad and I were the only people who existed.
His tongue outlined the shape of my lips, and I just followed the way he kissed me. There was at one point I wish we didn't have to stop to breathe. Some parts were sweet and slow, others were passionate and vigorous. And… wow…
Then I felt some small, chilled drops of water on my skin.
I pulled away playfully. "It's raining!" I laughed.
And Chad seemed to laugh too. "Ah, refreshing," he said jokingly.
The rain poured harder and harder.
"This is good for California. Almost went a year without rain," he said.
"Really?" I asked. "Wow."
"I didn't though," he smiled.
"What do you mean?" I asked, kind of puzzled.
"You know… a day without you is like a year without rain…" he started to sing.
I giggled.
"You know!" he explained. "That Selena Gomez song!"
"Haven't heard it," I shrugged, still uncontrollably giggling along with Chad chuckling.
"Long story short, you're the rain to my desert."
"Haha."
He kissed me again. And really at that moment, it didn't matter that we were sopping wet and our clothes were probably ruined. We continued blissfully as neither Chad nor California had to go a year without rain.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
