Here you guys go; the next chapter. Don't worry, I actually have a few oneshots planned out. If I do post them, it would mean an awful lot if you guys reviewed. Well, here we go!
Sonny just finished filming her very first episode on Mackenzie Falls, and to be honest, Sonny felt really good. It was actually, dare she say it, fun to film it. There were actually quite a few mess ups because people were laughing or something, Sonny didn't really expect that to happen. Chad actually messed up a few times, and laughed it off. He seemed like he was in a better mood this week. Maybe it was because the two were closer now, especially since after their talk. Chad wasn't a total jerk to her anymore, and Sonny even stopped complaining about working on Mackenzie Falls and tried to be the best she could be.
No one was really happy about her closeness with Chad and Erica. Portlyn for some reason felt threatened. Why should she feel threatened with her closeness with Chad anyways? It wasn't like she was staying on the show forever or stealing Chad away from her. Like that would ever happen, Sonny thought as she stretched out on her couch in her dressing room. Like she could ever like Chad Dylan Cooper!
Sonny heard a knock on her door. Thinking it was just Erica or maybe even Chad, she lazily sat up.
"It's open!" she called. The door opened as Sonny looked away from the door, laying back down.
"Is that any way to greet your mother?" Connie Munroe asked, amused. Sonny immediately stood up, facing her mother, a smile appearing on her face.
"Mom!" she cried as she rushed to hug her mother. She didn't really see her mother around these days. Sure, they lived at their new apartment in Hollywood, but Connie was always busy working, as was Sonny. Sonny was always out as well with friends and only saw her mother in the mornings, since she usually got in too late to see her mother awake. Sonny was fifteen, almost sixteen, after all. She worked and had fun, and Connie trusted her enough. Besides, Connie never came to her work unless it was important, so obviously, it was surprising to see her.
"Hey sweetie," Connie greeted her daughter as she gave her a hug back. Sonny pulled away.
"Why are you here Mom? Am I in trouble? I mean, I'm doing well in school. I still have Ms. Bitterman, and am still doing all my homework," Sonny rambled. Connie chuckled.
"No, I just wanted to see you working on Mackenzie Falls with the adorable Chad Dylan Cooper," Connie gushed. Sonny smiled, rolling her eyes. Her mother was sometimes even more a teenager than she was.
"Mom, I told you not to come visit me unless it's really important. It's embarrassing that I have to have my mom come check up on me, and especially on my first week," Sonny told her mom, who just waved her hand nonchalantly.
"Oh, relax sweetie, it's just curiosity. I never get to see you working and thought I'd just surprise you. Your new director said it was alright. You just finished filming your first episode after all. Was it fun?" Connie asked. Sonny nodded as the two sat down.
"Of course, it was a lot of fun. I mean, I didn't think so at first but once I got on camera, I got into character and then it was finished! Ronny said I have raw talent," Sonny boasted. Connie laughed as she pushed Sonny's hair out of her eyes.
"Oh sweetie, you knew that already. Remember all the plays you've done? The first one, as I recall, was the Three Billy Goats Gruff when you were five. You were the littlest Billy Goat Gruff, and you did so great," Connie reminded her daughter. Sonny nodded, smiling as she remembered it.
"That was a lot of fun," she recalled. Connie nodded.
"We still have that on tape. I should bring it in one day-" Connie started before Sonny shook her head.
"Ah, it's ok Mom. You don't have to, really," she said quickly. Connie nodded.
"Ok, sweetie. So, when do I get to meet your new friends?" Connie asked. Sonny stood up.
"Right now if you like. Granted, I really only have one new friend, two if you count Chad," Sonny started before Connie grinned.
"You and Chad are friends? Wow, that's great. I get to meet Chad Dylan Cooper," Connie gushed.
"Mom, I told you, he's a jerk. And also, try to calm down and not embarrass me, ok? I love you, but just not enough for you to jump around like a fan girl," Sonny told her mother, who nodded.
"Ok, I'm calm. I'd love to meet both of them," Connie said. Sonny grinned as she took her mother's hand and dragged her out of the dressing room, toward Erica's dressing room. They happened to pass by Chad's room along the way, as Connie paused.
"You're next door to Chad Dy-"Connie started excitedly before Sonny pulled her mother again.
"Yeah, ok! Let's go!" Sonny said loudly before making it to Erica's room. Sonny knocked twice on the girl's door. A few seconds later, the blonde haired girl opened the door, smiling as she saw Sonny and her mother.
"Hey Sonny, come on in. And who is this, your mother?" Erica asked as she gestured for the two to enter. Sonny did, and nodded. Her eyes swept over the room. It was the neatest room she ever saw. Nothing was out of place, and there was a lot of space to move around.
"Yeah, this is my mom, Connie Munroe. Mom, this is Erica Chessman," she introduced. She watched as the two shook hands and then they all sat down. It was a pleasant conversation, to say the least. They were all talking like teenagers, even Connie, who was just past her thirty seven age. They joked around a lot, discussed the show, and even talked about what celebrity guys were hot. Erica argued that Zac Efron was adorably hot, while Sonny debated that Joe Jonas was the hot one, as Connie said that neither were hot, or cute.
The knocking on Erica's door startled the three as Erica stood up and opened it. Sonny peered around Erica to see Chad with some older woman standing at the doorway, Chad looking sort of annoyed. The woman beside him was beautiful; Sonny had to admit, though she could not have been any older than thirty three. The woman smiled as she engulfed a startled Erica into a hug.
"Hello Erica, it is so nice to see you again. I haven't seen you since last year at Chad's fifteenth birthday party. He's tried to keep me far away from here as possible when I come to visit- oh, that's Sonny Munroe from So Random! Chad, you forgot to mention to me that Sonny would be here! I've been busy but heard that Sonny would be on your show for a while! I'm Sarah Cooper, Chad's mother," the woman, now known as Sarah, introduced as she walked into the dressing room. Sonny stood up to greet her, surprised as Sarah hugged her as well. This was Chad's mother? It was so shocking, since they were nothing alike, as far as Sonny could see. True, they did pretty much look similar, with the hair, the bright blue eyes and the facial features, but personality wise, it was shocking.
"Oh, hi Mrs. Cooper," Sonny said to Sarah, who pulled back, smiling.
"Call me Sarah, dear. I love So Random, but don't tell my son. Who's this woman? Is this your mother? You two look a lot alike," Sarah asked as she turned to Connie. As the two women conversed, Sonny looked over Sarah. It was no surprise that Chad hid his mother from the fame world, but Sonny now knew exactly why. The two were nothing alike; if people found out about Chad's mother, that was nice, sweet and gorgeous, Chad could be ruined and expected to act like her.
Sonny glanced at Chad, who stood there impatiently, but once the two locked eyes, he offered a feeble smile. Sonny gave a half smile back before turning back to Sarah and Connie, who looked like they were getting along great. Erica smiled sweetly at the two older women.
"You guys want to go outside for a while?" Erica asked. Sonny and Chad nodded as the three left the room.
"Wow, Chad, that's your mom? It's hard to believe since she's the sweetest woman I've ever met- uh sorry," Sonny apologized when she saw the look on Chad's face. He shrugged.
"Whatever, I don't really care. Your mom seems exactly like you, very crazy and peppy," Chad observed. Sonny laughed as she nodded.
"Yeah, that's my mom for you. She's so much like me, and looks like me," Sonny agreed. Erica sighed.
"I feel so left out. Both my parents live in London, so it's hard for them to travel here. They do, however, pay for my rent at my aunt's apartment, so it's all good," Erica said.
"London, England? That's so cool. I've always wanted to visit London, but we never had the time. The closest I got to London was in Ontario, Canada," Sonny said sadly. Chad scoffed at that point.
"Really? You haven't been far then Sonny," Chad said. Sonny spun around just then, anger clouding her face.
"Really? Where have you been then Chad?" she taunted. Chad grinned at he started listing the places he went.
"Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Miami, Seattle, Washington, Spain, Thailand, Mexico, Bahamas, Greece, but only because we have my mother's family there, Rome, Capri, Verona, Moscow, my mom has a trip planned for Australia as soon as filming this season is done, Cannes, China, Japan, Paris," Chad listed before trailing off at the last one. An unrecognizable look crossed his face for a single second, but Sonny caught it. As she tried to process what got him going at that, he had that same smirk.
"And a lot of other places around the US, but I don't want to brag," Chad finished. Sonny rolled her eyes.
"Well, Mr. Cooper, who cares if you've been to all of those places? The point is that you have to enjoy yourself in those places, and make memories in those places," Sonny said. Chad looked about to retort, but Erica stepped in.
"Ok guys, let's stop fighting," she said. The two nodded as the door opened and Sarah and Connie walked out, laughing.
"We're all going to lunch to get to know each other! Come on, Erica, you can come as well," Sarah said kindly. Erica smiled as the five left. Sonny and Chad had to watch their mothers get along like old friends. It was really weird for them, and they hoped it wouldn't last. Well, secretly Sonny was glad her mom made a friend, but with Chad's mother? Totally weird, she decided.
The rest of the afternoon was filled with Sarah and Connie laughing and getting to know each other, while Chad and Sonny, along with Erica, watched, weirded out.
"Who knew our moms would get along?" Sonny pointed out to Chad as they left the room. Chad nodded.
"I know, it's so weird," he agreed.
Ok, worst ending I've EVER written. It's just so open, but I didn't know what else to write. I don't know what's going to happen next chapter. Ideas? I want the two to get closer together, but I want it to be believable, like it could happen on the show, so ideas? Thanks for reading guys. I hope you like that Sonny's mom and Chad's mom are friends. I think they could be, if we ever met Mrs. Cooper. Thanks for reading!
