Okay, since all my lovely reviewers are just that awesome, here you go. I hope you enjoy it.

Watching re-runs of Mackenzie Falls wasn't very epic, but it kept Chad from going insane. Watching his own gorgeous, handsome, bad-boy face wasn't boring in the slightest, but it got old when it was the only thing he was allowed to do. Chad Dylan Cooper hated the hospital. He hated them in general. He could be doing so many other worth-while things. Most the nurses weren't even impressed that he was a star. But of course when they saw Sonny, all they could say was how lovely she was on TV. How their little children adored Sonny. How fair was that!? To make matters worse, Chad somehow ended up looking like an idiot the day before. Ugh, he would never live that down. His pride took a beating, and that doesn't happen to Chad Dylan Cooper. It shouldn't. It was unnatural!

Chad sighed. He watched all four seasons of Mackenzie Falls. He flipped through the stations until he found Die Hard and settled for that. He didn't know what to think. Sonny gave him all sorts of weird feelings. He cared about her emotions and well-being and stuff. But he wouldn't show it. Chad Dylan Cooper was cool. Calm. Collected. He was a bad-boy heartthrob. And no silly hugs would get him flustered.

"Sonny! What was the enemy's manager doing over here last night!?" Tawni wanted to know what was going on with Sonny. Tawni could tell she didn't want the conversation to go in this direction. She had been avoiding her the entire day, finding the strangest, tiniest excuses, but now they were on lunch break. There was no way the blonde girl would let her prey go now.

"Weeeeeell…" the girl extended the word like she did when she was trying to avoid conversation. "You see, um… Oh, hey! Look at the food today doesn't look too bad!"

Tawni faked a smile. She made a mental note to teach Sonny how to lie. But not to her. "Sonny. The food is as crappy as that lie. Now tell me. Why were you talking to Chad's manager? The enemy's manager?"

Sonny gave a high-pitched laugh as she carefully decided what ick to put on her plate. It did not take that much effort to decide what she was going to eat. "Ah, well, there's a perfectly good explanation for that." Tawni listened as she failed, once again, at getting a steak. One day. One day…

"You see… Well…" Sonny got a small interruption/salvation after they sat down.

"Hey, ladies. What's the haps?" Nico slided into his seat, followed by Grady. Zora had been missing some days due to her new show, yet she sometimes still mysteriously appeared in vents.

Tawni instantly spilled. "Sonny's hiding something!"

Sonny shot her an annoyed yet exasperated look. "Why, Tawni?"

Tawni shrugged. She was pretty.

Nico turned to Sonny. "Hey, girl, what is it?"

"Yeah. What secret-y secrets are you secretly hiding?" Grady stared shiftily at Sonny in the eyes as if looking for the answer there. "Secretly."

"And! I saw her talking to Chad's manager yesterday!" Tawni told them.

"Tawni!" Sonny moaned.

"What!?" Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee exclaimed together.

Sonny looked cornered. It looked as if she was contemplating escape. Tawni knew she was contemplating escape. Her eyes shifted, but her cell rang and saved the poor girl.

"Oh, look! I gotta take this!" she smiled.

Tawni decided not to point out she didn't even check caller ID.

"Hello? …What do you want Chad?" Sonny answered irritably. Tawni's head shot up. Now he called her? "I don't care, Chad. And you could've called someone else… Well that's your fault! …So!?" Sonny turned to Tawni and giggled after Chad said something else. "Chad, don't say that! You have bad initials! Wait. You actually know her name? …Yes, I said I would… Hah! I knew you liked it! … Don't lie to me, Cooper… Sh-shut up! I didn't know, okay!? …Yes, but because you never-! …Fine! …Good! … Good bye!" Sonny huffed as she hung up.

Tawni needed to know what they were talking about. Okay, she didn't. If it wasn't about Tawni, Tawni didn't care. But Tawni wanted to know because messing with Sonny was funny and Sonny looked right at her while talking to Chad.

"Sonny. What was that?" Perky smile, Tawni. She's going to answer the question.

"Chad's just being an idiot. What'd it look like?" she shook her head and muttered under her breath.

"Why'd he call?"

"Does he ever have a reason to bug me?" Sonny countered. Tawni thought she knew, but didn't say anything. Sonny might know herself if Tawni's suspicions were correct.

Sonny's cell rang again. She looked at the ID. "What is it, Chad!?" she answered. "That's it I'm-," she was cut off. She sighed. "Chad. I'm not gonna kill a spider… Nope… Get over it…Really, Chad? Really? Because So Random! has all kinds of props, and I will so-," Sonny laughed at Chad's response. "Whatever! Bye."

Sonny shook her head. She caught Tawni's stare and instantly her body became a bundle of nerves. "Tawni. Um. Chad says your name sounds like 'Tiny Heart!' I gotta go! Bye!" Sonny rushed as she ran out of the Commissary, leaving her lunch behind and barely remembering her purse.

Something fishy was going on here. And it wasn't just the ick-factor fish sticks. Nope, it was something Tawni would uncover.

{*]

Sonny was starving. All she had for lunch was four dollars worth of vending machine food. She wasn't even going home for dinner until after she visited Chad again! She swallowed. Looks like she was eating hospital food tonight. Sonny thought about it. Was it really that bad? Yes. Yes it was. Ick in a different location. That's new. Fate must have hated how she missed her ick for a day.

Today was a pain. Tawni wouldn't leave her alone. And Sonny was sure Chad would be a pain too. He already was with his irritating calls. "Sonny, I'm boooooooored" Why should she care? He stabbed himself in a freak accident. What did he expect? And what's with him asking if she could kill the spider? There was just so many problems with that plan. Jerk.

Then there was the fact she ended up hiding in the vents most the time she wasn't needed on set. After Tawni told the guys about Ms. Lenore, she was bombarded with questions by them, too! And! And! Ah, Sonny couldn't stay irritated. Seriously. Her mom promised to bake a super special strawberry shortcake today and she'd get to eat it with Chad. He had been complaining about food to her mom as soon as she walked in the room. Sonny wondered how Chad knew her mom was such a good baker. Sure Sonny had to eat it with the jerk and with hospital food, but cake was cake. And her mom's cake was a the best dessert in the world.

Also, she was excited because her favorite singer Mitchie Torres came out with a new song. She had been listening to one of the old CDs on her iPod, and she loved it. She smiled happily as she got in her mom's car at the end of the day. She could smell the cake and she began humming along to one of her favorite songs.

{*]

Chad was laying on his inclined hospital bed, when Stella came in. He wasn't in the best of moods, considering he had been in the hospital five days in a row, without any fun at all. Sonny even stopped answering his calls! All he wanted was for her to kill the spider who put him in there. And for her to bring him cake. And relieve his boredom. And treat him like a god… And he could live without the last one! Kind of.

"Stella, I'm so bored! Give me something to do," Chad whined.

Chad saw the smirk on her face, and knew he wouldn't be bored in a moment. "Actually, Chad. Sonny just got here. You'll see her in a few minutes."

Chad shot up. "Really!? Awesome… Did she bring any cake? Or any mirrors? I told her she should get me a mirror."

Stella looked at Chad a bit shocked. Once, because he admitted he looked forward to seeing Sonny, and then again when he brushed her off for his need to see himself. Really, that kid…

The door swung open, allowing Sonny and her mom to come in. Sonny was smiling happily and Connie smiled with amusement. "Speak of the devil…" Chad frowned when his manager said that, because he felt it was out of context. He shrugged it off, because Sonny (and cake and mirrors!) was here!

Sonny was carrying a cake, but surprised Chad by shoving it into her moms hands coming towards him. And gave him another hug… Chad's thoughts became scrambled again. Coherent thought and Sonny never seemed to stay together. Weird…

He didn't actually believe she'd hug him again anyway. So what if she said she would...? Chad knew that wasn't true. Sonny did what she said. She was just that kind of person.

"I knew you were looking forward to that!" Sonny bragged. Chad scoffed.

"Yeah right. I was just looking forward to the cake. And the mirror." That was only half true, Chad knew. Sonny knew it too, so she snorted.

"Right. Here's your mirror, oh great Narcissus!" Sonny exclaimed dramatically.

Chad looked at himself in the little compact she handed him. "Oh, God! Is that my hair? I can't believe it got so messed up! But I still look good, so all I gotta do is fix it..."

Chad then attempted to fix his hair, while half listening to the girls talk. Sonny was began opening the lid of box holding the cake and she cut the cake while still listening to Stella and Mrs. Monroe make small talk. She put the cake on a few paper plates and handed the first piece to Chad. "Enjoy!"

Chad took a bite, and knew he was in heaven. The cake must have been from God. The cake of angels! There was no other explanation… The cake was that good. His future wife would have to know how to make this. Mrs. Monroe would simply have to teach the girl who was worthy of him. When he found her, of course.

"… Sonny knows how to make it, too, Stella! It's a secret family recipe. Only us girls know how to do it just right!" Mrs. Monroe explained to Stella. Chad choked on his cake. Cake recipes weren't deal breakers he tried to convince himself. A girl wouldn't have to know it…It didn't mean… Stupid delicious cake… And it didn't mean he'd only... And Sonny... Stupid delicious cake...

"Chad, Chad! You okay!?" Sonny fretted. She patted him on the back.

"Fine, fine…" Chad murmured.

"Chad really likes the cake. He must've scarfed it all down, and choked on a piece." While it was clear to Chad that Stella was implying something, the other two females didn't seem to notice.

Sonny just nodded and started humming a song Chad hadn't heard before. "Sonny, what are you humming?"

"Hm? Oh, it's called 'Trainwreck' by Mitchie Torres. It's my favorite song. Have you heard it?" Sonny replied.

Chad shook his head. "I don't listen to that kind of music."

Sonny frowned. "How do you know what kind of music it is, Chad? I hate how you always just assume things. I also hate that you just assume you're better than everything!"

"Well, fine, Sonny! Give it a shot! How does it go!? What's it like!?" Chad retorted spitefully.

Sonny grabbed her iPod from her purse and thrust it in his direction. "How 'bout you just listen to it yourself!?"

"Fine!" Chad threw back.

"Fine!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

Chad was putting the headphones in his ear when he heard giggling. He turned to the two older women. "What's so funny!?"

"Nothing, nothing," Mrs. Monroe replied through giggles.

Stella instead turned to Mrs. Monroe and said, "Told you," which made them both giggle even more. Chad ignored them and pressed play. Really. The two were acting like school girls. Or fan girls even!

He peacefully listened to the music. It wasn't bad. It wasn't what he expected, either, but it still wasn't the kind of thing he was into. One line struck him though. But look how far we've come. It made him think of him and Sonny. They've been through a lot. They were actually sort of friends now. The two of them. Another thought floater around in Chad's subconscious. Chad was close to thinking it, too. But Chad Dylan Cooper stopped the thought. How far will we…

"It isn't completely horrid," Chad commented.

Sonny just smiled, because that was a compliment from him. Chad knew she knew.

{*]

Sonny had been thinking. Chad could be so weird sometimes. Sonny knew she herself was a bit odd, but not like Chad was. Sometimes he was bearable. And other times she just rather listen to Lucy sing her least favorite songs for three hours straight with her bad singing than talk to him. Than to even be near him physically. She realized the problem. Chad's ego was so big, it was like an entire person in and of itself. Sonny considered. She'd be a third wheel if went on a date with Chad. Chad and his ego were inseparable. Still, she'd seen him when his ego had to go to the bathroom. Those were the moments he was bearable. Like when he was Weird Beard.

And Sonny had an epiphany. She remembered when she tricked him into saying he cared. Chad did care about her, didn't he? She smiled when he didn't insult the song. That was almost a compliment from him.

"Chad, can I ask you a question?" she smiled sweetly.

"That was a question, Monroe," Chad pointed out. Sonny glared at him. "Go ahead," he gave in waving his hand in a 'go ahead' manner. Very egocentric.

"Do you…" she looked at the adults to make sure they weren't paying attention. "Well, do you… care for me? Like… do you care about me?" she ended in a whisper.

"Where did that…Why are you… What kind of… I mean, not that I…" Chad stumbled. Question caught him off guard, Sonny guessed. Sonny looked him in the eye, waiting for an answer.

Chad blushed and looked away. "Don't go around telling people."

And Sonny hugged him again. And she felt like she would never let go. She didn't even know why she hugged him. She already gave him his hug for the day. But she needed for him to say that. It meant a lot. Especially from him. "I care about you, too, Chad."

Sonny looked up and saw her mom giving her a face. "Mom… what's wrong…?"

Her mom shook her head. "Nothing, nothing." She looked pointedly at Stella. Stella nodded, and Sonny's mom grinned. "Really!?"

Stella nodded again with a huge smirk plastered on her face, and Sonny's mom started laughing. Sonny didn't know what was going on, but she released Chad from her hug and looked at him. He looked just as mortified as she was.

{*]

The two women were enjoying themselves. Not only had they witnessed something amazing- again!- but they got in on tape! They watched as their two little love birds avoided talking to each other, and avoided even looking at each other out of pure embarrassment. Then, they giddily watched as they overcame it and acted like nothing unusual happened.

Once she made sure the two were off in Lover Land, Stella asked. "What are we going to do with it?"

Connie didn't miss a beat. "Show it to all their family and friends once they're together. Their future kids must see it."

"Why wait?" Stella asked. She knew they were going to show it to everyone, but why didn't they do it right away?

Connie sighed. "Those two? They're stubborn. It'll just be another excuse as to why they shouldn't date."

Stella nodded. "So we wait…"

And they did.

{*]

No one knew, of course, that Tawni had actually gotten the cast, including Zora to come spy on Sonny from the bushes. They only saw Sonny walk into the hospital and come back out later. When they went to the front desk, the receptionist told them she could only give information of where Sonny was going if they wanted to see the actual patient. They didn't know the patient, so it didn't work. Not even when Tawni tried flirting with the male interns. (Which totally should have worked, because she's so pretty). And of course Nico and Grady's plan to woo the nurses was a total fail. Tawni was not going to take this. She was going to find out what was going on.

Oops! Made a mistake when I uploaded this! It's fixed now- I only added a single line.
