"Sonny, I don't want to just kiss you like that and go back to that horrible place we were in on that day, er, earlier today. We may as well stay in that dimension if we didn't accomplish anything. I don't want to forget what we've been through together. It bonded us." Chad told the brunette, sincerity filling his words.

"I don't want to forget either it, Chad." She responded. It was the truth; it had been nice being with the real Chad, having him all to herself. She'd never really thought twice of it, and she certainly hadn't thought of the entire encounter coming to an end. She wasn't sure if she was ready for it to be another finished chapter in her life.

Chad walked up to her again and engulfed her in his arms, kissing her one more time. He pulled back before it got anywhere near their last passionate kiss, careful not to get sidetracked from what he need to say.

"Sonny Monroe, I… I love you." He breathed out, so happy to get it out without using any "really really"s.

Sonny sighed in contentment, "I love you too, Chad Dylan Cooper."

"Nobody wanna see us together,
But it don't matter no.
Cause I got you babe.
Nobody wanna see us together,
But it don't matter no.
Cause I got you babe."

- Akon, Don't Matter

.:.:.:.:.

Chad and Sonny smiled in contentment, feeling closer to each other than ever before now that they were able to express their intimacy. Chad took her hand in his, lazily tracing circles on her palm. Sonny giggled, turning her head to the side happily.

A loud yawn was heard and their attention quickly tore for each other to Tawni, the beast that suddenly came to her senses. Their eyes widened and their hearts nearly burst out of their chests in anticipation. Would Tawni remember, or would she forget? Hopefully the latter, considering So Random!'s hate for the Mackenzie Falls star was as strong as ever.

Tawni stood up and plopped down on the chair near her vanity in a daze. She laughed crazily, running a hand through her hair, "You guys would never believe what I just dreamed of!"

Chad pretended to think for a moment, placing a finger on his chin. "Let me guess, you walked in on me and Sonny sharing a kiss?" He smirked.

"You had the dream too?" Tawni asked, tilting her head to the side in confusion. "Wait, why were you dreaming about kissing Sonny?"

"It, uh, wasn't a dream, Tawni." Sonny coughed, obviously uncomfortable with the situation. Chad looked down to the table awkwardly.

Tawni's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as she growled under her breath, glaring them down. "Let's walk, shall we?" She demanded, grabbing both of them by the ear and dragging them down the hall. The other two stars grumbled in pain and discomfort but followed Tawni sown the hall regardless, mentally preparing an excuse for their previous intimate embrace.

Five minutes later Chad and Sonny sat in the commissary with Tawni, discussing about the events they had experienced. The young starlet, not being the sharpest crayon in the box, was having trouble comprehending all that was being said to her.

"Wait, let me get this straight: you guys both were blown into a new dimension and were the last people on Earth?" Tawni asked for the thirtieth time, clarifying the situation once again.

"Yes, Tawni." Sonny groaned, growing tired of being asked so many questions. Chad simply rolled his eyes in exhaustion, annoyed as well.

"Are you guys crack buddies or something? Things like this don't just happen. No one can experience two weeks of adventure in a five minute period. The world doesn't stop for two people. Things just don't work out that way." Tawni argued, shaking her head as if she were trying to convince herself, not the others.

"Well they did." Sonny groaned, nestling her head into the crook of Chad's neck. He smiled and leaned down to kiss the top of her head, allowing him to discreetly smell the luscious strawberry-scented shampoo she used. They sighed in contentment.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you two actually… together?" Tawni asked, flabbergasted.

The two other teens exchanged a glance and Sonny moved her head and leaned back in her chair and Chad did the same. She bit her lip and smiled softly.

"Yeah…" They both mumbled softly, refusing to back eye contact with Tawni.

Tawni's eyebrows lifted up at the brunette's statement and scrunched back down in anger after realization hit her. Her hand flew to her mouth as she sat their, flabbergasted. She looked back and forth between the two lovers in shock, barely having the chance to wrap her head around the idea of the two of them dating.

"What?" She practically yelled in their faces, not knowing what else to say.

Chad rubbed his neck nervously, "Uh… Being alone together for so long and all, we sorta, um, fell for each other." Sonny nodded in agreement, a blush creeping up her cheeks as Chad smiled at her lovingly.

"This is GOLD!" The blonde roared, doubling over in laughter.

The couple exchanged another worried glance.

"Tawni, you can't tell anyone about this. You know that, right? The only reason we even told you was because you sorta walked in on us." Sonny explained, hoping her costar would understand the situation.

"What do you mean I can't tell anybody?" The blonde pouted, "You both know very well that my favorite part of being told a secret is telling it to everybody!"

Sonny sighed, "Well people can't know, Tawn. They'd think we're crazy."

"Have you listened to yourselves? You are crazy!" Tawni laughed, nearly giddy with excitement.

"So you're saying you think it would be normal for me and Chad to go from yelling one second to kissing passionately without claiming a bizarre story? It happened, Tawni, you have to believe us!" The brunette begged her co-star.

"I guess it's possible..." She reasoned, considering their pleas.

Sonny's begging expression made her eyes soften a bit. The poor girl hadn't dated anyone the entire time she has been in Hollywood, and now come to thing of it; Chad hadn't dated any other girls since she'd arrived, either. This would explain why their fighting always seemed like flirting and how Sonny would always have a loose smile on her face afterwards, as if holding in a boy sigh. The glamour-loving star shook out of her trance and looked at the two sitting in front of her, anticipation painted so bluntly on their faces that it looked painful.

"So you and Chad, huh?" Tawni smiled, laughing when Sonny jumped up from her seat happily and hugged the blonde tightly. She willingly hugged back, watching as Chad did a small-happy dance from the other side of the table.

Two Weeks Later…

Chad and Sonny exited the studio together, discreetly allowing their hands to brush as they walked closely. Chad looked both ways to check for others and took Sonny's hand in his, pulling her flush against his chest.

"I missed kissing you," he whined, pecking her lips once again before she could answer. As she went to respond he kissed her again, silencing her as she giggled in annoyance.

"I know, I know. You're gonna be all 'Chad, it's only been four hours,' but Sonny, it's been excruciatingly hard not to kiss you when you bite your lip or when you giggle in your cute unique little way when I fake-fight with you." He complained, mocking her voice with the best girl voice he could muster.

She giggled, provoking him to kiss her. The two of them got lost in the kiss, Chad wrapping an arm around her waist and using his other hand to cup the back of her head to keep her mouth attached to his as she let her fingers roam through his soft, blond hair. They broke apart, goofy smiles on both of their faces as they breathed heavily.

"You did it again," he gulped, blushing. She grinned happily, content with his accusation as she kissed his cheek in return.

"You have no idea what you do to me, Monroe," he told her in a voice slightly huskier than before.

She opened her mouth to respond until they heard footsteps in the distance and quickly sprung apart, awkwardly looking around the parking lot and whistling as if they weren't together as the random person passed them.

"Chad…" Sonny began. A twinge of hurt in her eyes was present as she looked at the ground. Chad walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her in an intimate hug.

"I know, Sonny. It hurts me to have to pretend not to be in love with you too." He mumbled into her hair, taking the chance to breathe in her intoxicating smell once again.

"I want people to know. I don't want to go around the set, or really the entire city, pretending we're not in a relationship. It hurts me." She explained, looking in to his eyes longingly.

"Me too." He smiled, tracing her jaw lightly with his finger.

"It doesn't seem like it. You've always been so caught up in your reputation around Hollywood – how do I know you're not secretly dreading being with me? How do I know that you really want people to know about me and you?" She whispered, though loud enough for him to hear her. His eyes softened in hurt at her thought. How on Earth could she think such a thing?

"God, Sonny, of course I want people to know about us." He told her honestly, sincerity pouring from both of his eyes that seemed to sparkle more than normal. He moved his hand from her waist up to her face, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear and leaving it there to cup her face in his hand gently. Her cheeks blushed deep red and he beamed, loving the effect he still had on her.

"I don't want to have to yell at you and tell you that your show sucks when I would never think such a thing. I don't want to have to watch you from across the cafeteria eating crap just because you're not on my show. I don't want to be on guard when I kiss you, feeling obligated to jump away from you instantly if someone comes near us. And I definitely don't want other guys looking at you like you're single when only I can do this," he smiled, kissing her forehead. "And this," he added, swiftly kissing her cheek. "And this." He finished, kissing her lips as his thumb rubbed her cheek softly.

"Then what do we do about it?" She asked him softly, nuzzling into his touch after craving it all week long.

"Well… I believe I have an interview with Teen Weekly tomorrow, and I'd be really happy if you joined me. We could tell them then," He suggested.

"Sounds like a plan, Stan." She giggled, earning another quick kiss as a grin spread across her face.

"I'm so glad I can finally kiss you without being pulled back and forth between different dimensions," he laughed.

Sonny gripped his dark blue uniform tie, bringing his head down to crash his lips onto hers. She let her hands linger up and around his neck, playing with the hairs at the base of his neck. He lightly groaned, backing her into his car to get as close to her as possible.

She moaned as he sucked on her lower lip roughly, taking the opportunity to slide his tongue from his mouth to hers with fiery passion. Her hands were now gripping his hair, tugging on the golden locks to earn another groan from the boy she loved. They both pulled back minutes later, lips swollen.

"So that's the plan? We'll come out about our relationship tomorrow during our exclusive spring interview with Santiago?" He asked, smirking as she struggled to catch her breath.

"Yeah." She nodded, smiling at the thought of not having to hide anymore.

"I can't wait," He smiled back, taking her hand in his and kissing each of her knuckles lightly.

"It's gonna be hard, Chad." She warned him, a grin still gracing her face.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," he grinned, lazily pressing his lips to her both of her cheeks sweetly.

Sonny smiled, "I love you."

"I love you too, Sonshine." He grinned, pressing another kiss to her lips before they got into his car and drove off.

There we are; chapter 9! I'm kind of sad… This story is almost over. The next chapter will be the last. I think it's going to be an epilogue of some sort. So they can, y'know, reflect and all. Haha. Okay and guess what? I don't think I've ever been so mortified to be in love with a CD. It's actually MC's new album, Can't Be Tamed or whatever. I actually really like it, which makes me wanna gag because I'm not a big fan of Hannah Montana. Haha I don't know why I'm so weird about it… It just seems weird to like her music for some reason. That's one of the reasons it's taken me so long to update – the music is so distracting! Haha byesie bye(:

REVIEW(: if you want an epilogue! I want at least 10 if you want one(:
A – Loved it!
B – Ehh, it was alright.
C – Yuck, this was awful.
Hippopotamus – I wasn't gonna review but since I saw this I am.(:
