'Sup? Hope you've all liked the story so far. This is probably one of the last few chapters. There'll probably be two or three more, but if I get any inspiration, I might write a sequel, or another Tawnico. Any idea requests? I don't mind doing oneshots either.
Okay, you should all know by now I don't own Sonny with a Chance. If you don't, wow do you need to get your eyes checked.
Chapter Six: Your Secret Admirer
It had been a week since Tawni and Nico's prank on Chad and their getting stuck inside the supply closet. Since then, both had been ignoring the other studiously. It made things a lot more awkward when the cast were rehearsing sketches together, as Tawni would stumble over her lines, Nico would hardly say anything, and Sonny would sigh over Chad. Zora would feel like tearing her hair out, and Grady would just try to ignore it all, bringing something to occupy himself every time if things got too tense.
Sonny and Grady were standing outside the cafeteria, ready to undertake the first part of the plan they'd come up with to get Tawni and Nico together.
Okay, so they weren't the ones who came up with it. It was Zora's idea entirely. But she didn't want to get mixed up in all this "mushy stuff" so she told the other two the plan and prayed they wouldn't mess it up.
"Operation Tawnico is now underway!" Sonny hissed to Grady.
They could see Tawni, who was sitting at the table and toying with her chicken salad as she glanced over at the doorway from time to time. This was because Nico had just come in, gotten a bottle of water and a sandwich, and left again, not even giving the depressed blonde a glance, though his fists were clenched tight around the bottle, so much that his knuckles became white.
"Nico's probably in the Prop House," Grady told Sonny softly. "I'll go talk to him, as planned, and you talk to Tawni."
Giving a fake salute, Sonny said, "Good man, and good luck!"
Grady saluted in return before marching off in the direction of the Prop House.
Nervously, Sonny walked over to Tawni, saying cheerily, "Hey Tawni! What're you doing?"
Giving Sonny a look, Tawni replied, "Eating my lunch."
"Ha, right," Sonny muttered, rubbing the back of her head. "Well, anyway, someone's sent you flowers! I didn't look because I knew you'd get mad, but please come with me and see who they are from because I really wanna know!"
"Really? Flowers? For me?" Tawni seemed to perk up a little. "Okay, I'll come with you."

"Hey, Nico," Grady called as he walked into the Prop House to find Nico sitting on the couch finishing his sandwich.
"Hey, G," Nico replied, trying to sound normal, though there was a hint of gloominess in his voice. "Wanna play a video game?"
"Usually, I'd say yes," Grady replied. "But someone's sent you a card, with chocolate! Wanna go see who it's from?"
Curious, Nico replied, "Okay, sure."

In their dressing room, Tawni and Sonny read the card attached to the beautiful lilies sent for the blonde actress.
Dearest Tawni
I hope you like the flowers. I heard they were your favourite. They're beautiful, of course, like you. Your hair shines like a golden halo, and your blue eyes are as beautiful as the sky on a clear, sunny day.

Tawni couldn't help but gasp and look excited. "That was beautiful! I wonder who it is!"
Sonny smiled secretly, but replied, "Well, they obviously like you a lot. Lilies are meant to be really expensive!"
"Hmm," Tawni replied dreamily, but then a thought came to her. "But Sonny, I still like Nico!"
Sonny shrugged impassively. "Well, this is a good time to think things over, date a few other people. If you ever find out who this is!"
"I guess you're right," Tawni said thoughtfully, fingering the lilies.

Grady and Nico were in their dressing room, Grady absentmindedly helping himself to the chocolates he and Sonny had sent as Nico read the card.
Dearest Nico
I heard caramel chocolates were your favourite. I hope you enjoy them. I've noticed you, even if you haven't noticed me, and especially noticed how handsome you are, with those deep brown eyes and that suaveness. What's not to like?

"Whoa!" Nico blinked, looking stunned, but wound up. "Wonder who it is!"
"What? How should I know? Why do you think I know?" Grady burst out, looking anxious. "I don't know!"
Nico stared at him. "I didn't say you knew."
"Oh. Well." Grady blushed in embarrassment, very aware how close he'd just come to revealing it was his and Sonny's doing. "Right."
"But what about Tawni?" Nico asked softly, suddenly remembering the blonde he had feelings for.
"Who cares?" Grady asked in reply, mouth full of chocolate again. "If they send you more of this chocolate, they're worth it!"
Rolling his eyes, Nico glanced back down at the handwriting, thoughtful.
So how was that? Good, bad, awesome, so bad you couldn't even say it? Please review, anyway, and remember: spread the Tawnico love!
