"Ok guys! Let's go through our table reading! We'll start with scene one. Mackenzie and Paige are talking about last week's kiss," Ronny instructed as they all sat around a table. Every cast member was there in the room, along with Ronny and a couple of the writers. Sonny sat between Chad and Robert, as she flipped open her script. Sonny listened as Chad and Portlyn read their scene once through. They read it normally, but channeled their characters while reading. Sonny flipped open her script, as the second scene came up, with Robert's character and his dad talking. Sonny sighed as she skimmed to where her first line was.

Luke: Dad, seriously, why can't I go to Mackenzie's party? Paige and Quentin are grounded, yet I'm not!

Doorbell rings. Luke gets up to answer it

Mr. Winkle: Well son, here's the thing-

Door opens and Mrs. Robertson and someone behind her, hard to see, are standing there. Mr. Winkle looks shocked.

Mrs. Robertson: Hello Chester

Mr. Winkle: Annie, what are you doing here? I haven't seen or talked to you in-

Mrs. Robertson: Over fifteen years? Well, once we had our little affair and your wife found out, I couldn't stay here. Especially since I was already 2 months pregnant with your child

Mr. Winkle: Ch-child?

Luke: You cheated on Mom?

Mrs. Robertson: Meet your daughter, Leia

Steps back to uncover Leia

Leia: Nice to meet you…Dad.

Luke and Mr. Winkle are shocked.

Sonny wanted to speak her line as horribly as possible, but for some reason, she couldn't. Instead, she spoke the line with remorse and a little bit of mystery in her voice. Why did she say it so perfectly? Maybe because she was an actress, and always had to be her best. She was in so many plays when she was younger, and So Random was the closest she could get to acting. Maybe old memories of her playing Anne Frank, Snow White and other various characters made her like this.

She had to be awful, to get off this awful show. Ronny smiled.

"Good, that's a good scene! Let's move onto the third scene, with Erica's character and Wendy's character talking. Ok, let's start! Erica, you're first. Remy starts talking to Wendy's character, Naomi about Luke," Ronny said. That was how it was for the morning. They read through the script, and then read it over again. They just finished the fourth scene again when Ronny checked his watch.

"Ok, we have time for the fifth scene then we'll get some food. It's almost one forty five. Wow, time flies when you're reading a script! Ok, Robert, it's your line!" Ronny instructed. Robert nodded.

"What's going on? Why did you cheat on Mom? You loved her, even after she died in that horrific car accident that landed her drowned in her car at the bottom of the lake," Robert read aloud.

Mr. Winkle: I know, I'm still in shock myself. It was a silly little affair that lasted not even three months, when your mother and I were going through a…rough patch. You were not even two yet. Which reminds me, Annie, why are you here, other than to show me my daughter?

Mrs. Robertson: Other than to introduce you to your daughter, I need you to take care of her for a while. Me and my husband, well, we have to travel for some major business. I'm a lawyer and we have a really big case in Helsinki, and obviously, we can't take Leia there. We can't leave her home, because we'll be gone for two months, maybe even more, and even though she has her grandmother there, I think it would be good for her to get away, meet her father and everything

Leia: I told you, Mom, I can handle being at home with Grandma

Mrs. Robertson: Not after what happened, you're not. A new surrounding for a while will definitely help you.

Mr. Winkle: What happened Annie?

Mrs. Robertson: I can't say. It's too… well, whatever. Can you take care of her or not?

Luke: No! He will absolutely not! I don't even know you! He doesn't even know this girl! We will not, absolutely not, take her in like…like…a-stray!

Mr. Winkle: Luke! Stop it! You're not helping. Annie, as much as I don't want to, because you lied to me about having a daughter, I'll take her in. I want to get to know her.

Mrs. Robertson: Great. I'll grab her stuff from out of the car and then I'll be on my way

Leaves

Mr. Winkle: I'll help. Luke, get to know your new half sister

Leaves as well. Luke and Leia look at each other for a minute, not saying anything.

Luke: Um, hi, I'm Luke, you can call me Lucas, since only family and close friends can call me Luke

Leia: I'm Leia.

Luke: Um, ok.

Ronny stopped at that, and glanced up.

"Sonny, dear, I know you're new to the Falls and everything, but maybe you could read with more emotion. I know it's just a read-through dearie, but we'd like to know what your acting skills are like," Ronny said to her sweetly. Sonny gave a fake smile back, and nodded. They did the scene over again, and over and over and over, until around 2pm, when Ronny stopped and looked at the time, frustrated now. Sonny inwardly smirked.

"Go to lunch. I'll tell Brenda to wait there for you. Just go, and we'll start at the next scene when you get back. Just… go," Ronny said, before leaning down. Sonny stood up and walked past Chad, toward the cafeteria. Once there, she ordered good chicken with rice and vegetables (she made the request a day prior) and then sat down at the empty So Random table (because they were working now) and started eating. Several minutes later, Chad sat beside her with his food. She eyed him.

"Why are you sitting down here?" she asked curiously.

"Why are you acting horribly?" Chad countered. Sonny smirked.

"Touché. Why do you think Chad?" she asked. Chad thought before sighing.

"You hope we'll kick you off the show if you do a bad show. That's not happening Sonny. I know you're way capable of acting at least half decently, so why don't you be a doll and stop with this little game?" he asked. Sonny rolled her eyes as she bit into her chicken.

"Game? What game? It's just a little…challenge for myself, that's it," she said. Chad just laughed as he started eating his steak he got minutes before.

"Then stop with this little challenge and act like an adult," he said. Sonny dropped her fork on her plate.

"I am acting like an adult Chad. An adult would do whatever it takes to get out of something they don't want to do," Sonny said.

"You could quit the bet and the show, but then you'd be a quitter and the press would hassle you for months about backing out, so you obviously can't quit. An adult would probably suck it up Sonny. It's not like you're a permanent character. It's for two months. Quite a bit of the time anyways is time off, and read throughs. It'll be over by the time you know it. So stop acting like a baby and act normally, unless that's how you truly do act," Chad finished. Sonny reached over and pinched Chad's arm, causing him to yelp.

"Shut up, ok? You're a jerk, with your little Chad-tastic Blog, which by the way is not Chad-tastic in any way, and your little perfect mind where you think you're the only important one," Sonny started before Chad grinned.

"But I am the most important one," he said, causing Sonny to slap his arm hard. "You're violent," he muttered.

"Whatever it takes to get you to shut up. Ok, you have to realize that it is not about you, well not just about you. Your ego is so huge; no one wants to be friends with you. Only the fan girls, but they don't know you personally. The only friend you truly have is James Conroy, and he's a jerk just like you. Everyone else just puts up with you, even Portlyn. So really, your only friend is yourself. So I hope you can wallow in misery with your only friend, because by this rate, you'll never have a serious girlfriend and settle down; especially since you have not even kissed anyone. Open your eyes Chad, and see the world for what it really is; not what you perceive it to be. Fame has definitely gotten to you Chad; if you weren't famous, you'd be a lot less egotistical than you are now," Sonny finished. She picked up her half finished chicken and dumped it out, not hungry. She left without another world, leaving the silent Chad at the table.

Sonny walked back to her dressing room, where she locked her door and realized what she had just done. She had just told off Chad Dylan Cooper. She was actually sort of…mean to him. She wasn't mean to anyone! Why did she do that? Maybe the anger of losing the bet finally got the best of her? The fame starting to get to her head like it did to a lot of stars? No, it cannot be, she thought frantically. She was still Sonny Munroe, nice, sweet, happy girl, except with occasional tell offs to jerks that deserve it.

Oh god, was she turning into one of those really mean celebrities? She didn't want to. She wanted to remain the same old Sonny Munroe she always was. She had to just be stressed with switching shows and everything, yeah, that was it. Satisfied, Sonny stood up, slipping on a jacket as she exited her room, bumping into Erica.

"Hey Sonny," she greeted Sonny kindly. Sonny narrowed her eyes. "Don't worry Sonny, unlike about 99 percent of the cast and crew here, I'm probably the only nice one. I love So Random by the way. You were great in the Check It Out Girls sketch," Erica added. Sonny smiled.

"Thanks Erica," she said. Erica smiled sweetly.

"No problem. Listen, do you want to go for a drive? I know this coffee shop just a few minutes from here that makes delicious frappuchinos," Erica asked. Sonny nodded.

"Sure. But what about the read throughs?" she asked. Erica laughed.

"I'm sure Ronny could use a break from today. We're doing read throughs tomorrow as well anyways," Erica said. Satisfied, Sonny walked with Erica to her car, laughing all the way. Even though Sonny was fifteen and a half, and Erica was seventeen, she felt the closeness with her already. Of course, not as close as her friends from So Random but she liked Erica enough.

Once they were in her car and driving off, Sonny turned to Erica.

"Why are you so nice? Are Mackenzie Falls supposed to be really mean and hateful?" she asked. Erica shrugged.

"We're supposed to, but I only came onto the show this season, so probably just a few months prior to you going on So Random. I watched both shows before, so obviously, I can't choose between my favourite shows, so I watch So Random while acting like Mackenzie Falls is the better one," Erica admitted. Sonny smiled as the two continued talking, even after they got their coffee and drove back to the studio. Sonny felt that the two could be good friends.

Ok, so that's it for now. What do you think, making one of the Falls people nice? Is it too typical? What do you want for future chapters? Any ideas for next chapter? Tell me in a review guys! Thanks!
