"Look, it's a heart!" Sonny said, pointing to the perfectly-shaped heart above their heads.

Chad swerved his head in the other direction, looking for another cloud shape to beat her newest challenge, the heart. Oh how much he wished he could say, "I heart you", but he knew he never could. Not not, at least.

Chad smiled, "That one's an elephant."

Sonny scoffed. "No, Chad, that's obviously a tiger."

"Elephant." He fought back.

"Tiger."

"Elephant!"

"TIGER!" Sonny screamed, giggling.

"Fine!" Chad gave up.

"Fine!" She yelled, victorious.

"Good."

"Good."

"So are we good?" He asked, a smile playing at the ends of his lips.

"Oh, we're so good." Sonny laughed, feeling Chad's chest rise up and down quickly as he laughed as well.

.:.:.:.:.

"I ain't loving you, the way I wanted to.
See I wanna move, but can't escape from you.
So I keep it low, keep a secret code,
so everybody else don't have to know."

Sonny rolled over on the grass to face Chad.

"Chad, why do you think we're here?"

"I told you Sonny, I don't know. But I do find it coincidental that you swore you'd never kiss me even if I was the last person on Earth, and, well, now I am." Chad mumbled sheepishly.

"I'm still not kissing you, if that's what you're insinuating." She said.

"Why, Sonny? It's not that big of a deal." Chad assured.

"I don't want to waste my first kiss," she mumbled, furiously blushing.

"You've never kissed anyone? How about Harry?" His brow furrowed.

"Hayden," she clarified. "And that was just a four-second peck. It didn't mean anything to either of us. First kisses are supposed to be valued."

"Sonny I want you to know right now that if we kissed it would mean something to me. I kinda, sorta care about you. And if it makes you feel any better, I've never kissed anyone off-screen either."

"I'm sorry, Chad, I'm just not ready." Sonny murmured, standing up and walking away.

Chad carefully watched and memorized her steps and turns, standing up and following her five minutes later. He walked over to see a beautiful pond, complete with gorgeous flowers and koi fish swimming happily around their underwater home. He'd never seen this part of the little area. He took a seat next to her.

"Hey." He mumbled quietly. She probably wouldn't of heard him if she wasn't so focused on him and his movement. Sonny had become a master at that task, now memorizing him so slowly without even having to look at him. He was almost always planted carefully in her peripheral vision, serving as the experiment as she tried to figure him out. She had failed so far.

Sonny simply looked down, shyly brushing her bangs out of her face.

"Hey, don't be embarrassed, Sonny. You have nothing to be embarrassed of. No one can judge you here; you're away from it all."

"You can judge me," she whispered, her head now resting in her hands.

"If anyone should be judging anyone, you should be judging me."

Sonny looked at him oddly, "And why is that?"

"Because I'm always an ass to you! I would think you would be dreading being with me alone so much, not the opposite."

"I don't dread it, Chad. Most people just assume your bad boy act is legitimate, but I see right through it." She said lightly, scared for his reaction.

"Why?" Chad asked, shaking his head.

"Huh?"

"Why do you have to see through me? I'm so used to being able to get through the day being the person the press want me to be, and then you come along and make me start caring. It's so hard to have a double-standard hanging over my head. I'm trying to please America but at the same time I'm trying to please you." He explained, a pained expression painted across his face. The impact of his statement must have not been clear to him yet.

"Why me?" Sonny questioned, tilting her head to the side in confusion.

"I don't know, Sonny. There's just something about you that always puts a smile on my face." Chad admitted, now much more interested in his shoes than the brunette. Or so he was trying to convince himself…

"I feel just like everyone else here." Sonny assured, unsure of his intentions.

"Trust me, Sonny, there's no one else like you here in Hollywood." He saw her face drop and instantly regretted his choice of words. "It's a good thing." He insisted, offering her a smile.

"How on Earth is that a good thing?" She exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air.

"It's a good thing because all the people here in Los Angeles are fake. You've met your fair share of people here, and sure, they seem all smiley and welcoming, but they're not. They're out to be in the tabloids, only out there to be your friend to get attention. You're the only one that actually means what you say, who really, sincerely wants people to be happy." He mumbled, embarrassed of the secret he just shared with her.

Sonny smiled. "Why haven't you ever told me that before? I've always been convinced that you hated me."

Chad's eyes widened in guilt, "Sonny, I could never hate you. There's nothing to hate."

"But–" She began.

"No, Sonny. There's nothing." Chad repeated, daring her to challenge his statement.

She decided to drop it, but the topic still lingered in her mind. Chad seemed to care for her just as much as she cared for him. She always felt the same way.

"There's nothing to hate about you, either." Sonny whispered, almost hoping he wouldn't hear her. But he did.

"Oh please, Sonny. I don't deserve to be friends with someone like you." Chad shook his head, his hand down on the grass painfully far from hers. She bit her cheek, refraining from holding it.

"Excuse me? You are just as good a person as I am. You need to quit being so hard on yourself, Chad!" Sonny demanded, her voice rising slightly as she became frustrated with his self hate. She turned away somewhat angrily, tired of his low self-esteem charades. She turned back guiltily, not wanting to fight with him at the moment.

"I don't want you to be mad at me…" Chad spoke, his crystal blue eyes finally boring into hers.

"I'm not mad at you, Chad." Sonny squeaked out, the intensity of his gaze almost making her speechless.

"I don't want you to leave me…"

"Chad–" Her voice wavered.

"I certainly don't want you to be with someone else…"

"I don't want you to be with anyone else, either, Chad."

"And Sonny, I… I really, really like you."

Her heart felt as if two birds were dragging it upwards, throwing it in the air so it could soar happily through the clouds on its own.

"I really, really like you too, Chad." Sonny giggled, pulling him into a hug.

Chad eased into it, wrapping his arms around her waist in response.

"You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now." He murmured into her neck, pulling back to see her face.

"Then why don't you?" Sonny suggested, her arms still secured around his broad shoulders.

Chad sighed, "Because… I don't want to go back to how things were, Sonny. I'm enjoying this time alone with you so much it's probably unhealthy, and I don't think I could bear to go back to where we were a week ago. For all we know we won't even remember this whole encounter."

"That's true… I guess. But I don't know how long I can hold out." Sonny admitted, blushing deep crimson. Chad brushed the back of his hand over her cheeks, the coloring of them intensifying at his touch.

"Trust me, I'm sure my willpower is much weaker than yours." Chad chuckled, nervously tapping his fingers on the grass with his other hand.

"Is that so?" Sonny asked, moving a hand upward to run her fingers gingery through his blond locks. Chad retracted his hand. He closed his eyes for a moment, marveling at the feeling, but hastily opening them upon realizing they were shut.

"Sonny… It won't end well." Chad warned, resisting the urge to smother her with kisses until their lips fell off. She definitely wasn't helping.

"Dammit, you're such a tease, Cooper." She demanded.

Chad's brow creased, "How am I the tease?"

"Well you admit how much you like me and then do nothing about it." Sonny whined, a slight frown gracing her forehead.

"Sonny, you know how I said we're here because you refused to kiss me? I think if you finally do, we'll go back to our dimension. It's not going to be the same back in Hollywood, with everyone trying to get to us. The paparazzi, our casts, hell, even Condor's been getting on my ass about you. Everyone's for our relationship, Sonny, but I have a feeling that won't be a good thing if we finally do get together. I don't want people hounding me just to get me to spill about you." Chad told her.

Sonny looked down sadly. "I think you're right, Chad. It's complicated."

"Yeah," Chad mumbled.

"But I don't remember ever mentioning a relationship. I was talking about affection." She giggled.

Chad blushed deep red. Sonny ran her fingers across his cheek lovingly.

"There's that blush I love."

Heheh. I don't really like the ending. But oh wellsies. On another note, I really love this chapter's name. I actually listened to the song on repeat while I wrote the chapter. I think it really fits SWAC. Cause like Chad and Sonny can't love each other the way the want to because of their casts, but they have to be together. So they are forced to want to keep it secret so their casts can't find out. Sorry if that doesn't make sense? Haha.

I have the next chapter written out and I'll post it once I get a sufficient amount of reviews. Here's a hint for the next installment: Chawni Chawni Chawni Chawni! HAHAHA no. Channy of course(: Chawni makes me want to vomit.

Which is why I'm not so excited for FFTF Part 2. I don't want to see Chad and Tawni go on a date. What insane freak does? But I still think it's somewhat cute that Sonny tries to make him jealous, but still, NOT COOL, Disney! Those darn writers piss me off. They know very well that everyone with a brain wants S and C to get together, yet they don't seem to comply with our wishes. Dumbos. Haha. Well enough of my babbling. Bye(:

REVIEW(: & I'll update after I get 10 reviews.

P.S.: This is extremely important. That is, if you want an update. I need an idea on how to make Sonny cry. Don't suggest anything if it has to do with the whole last-person-on-earth thing or if Chad does something to make her cry. Don't worry, Channy isn't gonna die. She just needs to cry for the story plot to work. If all fails I'll just think of another attempt at making them kiss. Wink wink nudge nudge. :D
