Thanks to all who reviewed! They make my day. So since everybody pretty much told me to continue...here's the next chapter!

Summary: Sonny has a new craving - tootsie pops. And Chad seems to like it too. So much that he'd do anything just to get a taste. ;)

Pairing(s): Chad/Sonny

Disclaimer: I don't own Sonny With a Chance and blah blah blah...

Chapter 2: Grape

Chad POV

So far, I'd had a pretty crappy morning. I spent almost half of the night thinking about the previous day. Sonny and the stupidly seductive way she ate candy. I was beyond tired - only having about three and a half hours of sleep. I ended up burning my breakfast and my toilet broke. On my way to work, my car broke down so I had to call Portlyn and get a ride from her. I couldn't remember my lines when we were rehearsing another episode of Mackenzie Falls. And everyone was being bitchy to me for some reason...well, maybe because I kept messing up my lines. Oh, and I stubbed my toe when I was looking for my tie in my dressing room. Could it possibly get any worse?

We were taking a half hour break before rehearsing again. I guess they figured I would use this time to practice the script. And I did just that so they would get off my back.

I wandered around different stages in an attempt to clear my head. But that didn't really work out because I barged in on the So Random! set.

So much for that.

I heard a loud booming voice, "Are you ready to get SO RANDOM!?" I furrowed my eyebrows. Were they filming right now?

I ended up following the screams of the crazy audience and saw Sonny and Tawni at a grocery store. This must have been the 'Check it Out Girls' sketch that Sonny was so excited about for the past few days. God, she sounded like one of those stereotypical cheerleaders that you only see in movies. It was annoying...but cute. Stupid cute. I shook my head. Why couldn't I forget that night?

I sighed and shook my head as the sketch ended. I really shouldn't be seen here.

But there would be no use, the doors were locked during the whole filming session. Maybe I can try the emergency exit? No, the stupid alarms would go off and then Mr. Condor would probably fire me. There goes my acting career. I groaned and rested my head on the wall. I guess I could just wait and wander around. Hopefully they won't be too mad at me when I get back at 'The Falls'. Besides, you can't shoot Mackenzie Falls without Mackenzie.

"Chad?"

I could recognize that voice anywhere.

Sonny.

And she was still wearing the outfit from the previous sketch.

I smirked at her and rolled up my script. "Sonny."

She looked positively confused. "What're you doing here?"

I shrugged, "Well, I was walking around the lot, practicing my lines, and somehow I ended up here. And now I can't get out." She looked amused as a small grin flitted across her face. "Are you sure you didn't just come in here to watch So Random!?" Was she for real? "Why the hell would I do that!?"

"Because, secretly, it's your favorite show."

Never ever in a million years Munroe. But I just shook my head again. I didn't have time for this and my head was hurting. Looks like my bad day finally caught up with me. "Look Sonny, I'm really not in the mood for this, alright? I've been through hell today." She crossed her arms. "Well fine. It's not like I ever wanted to talk to you in the first place."

"Fine. I never wanted to talk to you either." Okay, that was a total lie Cooper.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Fine!"

"Fine! I got some lines to rehearse."

But she was the one to walk away first. I watched her enter her dressing room as I sat on the ground against the wall. In a minute, Sonny exited her dressing room again in a completely different costume. Wow, even I couldn't do that. Now it was time for business. I peered down at my script and read the description of the episode. Oh right, this is the episode where Portlyn disappears in a mysterious ballooning accident and I meet a new girl named Chloe. Sick. I swear, my mind completely erased from the moment I saw Sonny with that damned lollipop in her mouth. Argh! This was useless. I should be reading my lines and not reminiscing in the sickly sweet memory. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.

What the hell was happening to me?

Let's reflect shall we?

Me. Lunch. Sonny. Lollipop. Sonny with lollipop her mouth. Me jealous of that lollipop. Cold shower. Maybe I needed to see a psychiatrist...again.

Nah, this what they told me to do last time and look where that's turning out.

I threw my script against the opposite wall and groaned in frustration.

This was pointless.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so after about spending over an hour in Chuckle City territory, I got a mouthful from my producer. "This is the last time you're going to be late Cooper! Five minutes is alright, but nearly forty-five minutes is unacceptable! Ans blah blah blah..." I tuned him out after that. I tried to explain to him why I wasn't there on time but he wouldn't give me the time of day. I know I shouldn't have done it but, to piss them off even more, I decided to just ditch and wander around again. This time, I made sure the red lights weren't flashing next to the set doors. We don't want another incident like that happening again.

I made my way through every stage. Everyone was eyeing me weirdly, seeing as this is probably the second time they've seen me today. When in reality, they rarely do. I made sure I saved the So Random! set for last. I wouldn't want to make it seem like I keep visiting there because I want to see them...especially Sonny, she's the one who caught me there after all.

But nonetheless, I pushed open the door.

It was oddly quiet...and dark.

Oh Lord, I hope their not here. That would save me time and possibly even more humiliation. I really don't want to be caught here again.

But as I turned the corner, I saw a beam of light come from their prop room.

Shit. They were still here after all. All I heard was laughing and music so I peeked into the room to see what they're up to.

They were dancing. Well, it was more of a dance-off between Sonny and Tawni. Ha! And Sonny was winning. Tawni did not have any rhythm in her body...unlike Sonny. After Sonny won, they began playing Twister. But she was sitting on the couch watching the whole thing and calling out those uncomfortable demands.

Then she did the one thing I really, really didn't want her to do.

She took out a lollipop, unwrapped the dark blue wrapper, and popped it in her mouth.

Grape.

I groaned in frustration, quietly of course, and moved to leave. But of course God hates me today so Sonny caught me. "Chad!" I turned around slowly and made my appearance in room. "Yeah?" She crossed her arms as her cast mates sat on the floor and watched me. "What are you doing here?...Again." I shrugged, "W-Well, my producer got mad at me for being forty-five minutes late because I was stuck in this damned place. So I decided to piss everyone off even more and ditch." Aw man! Why did she have to put it back in her mouth while I was speaking!? If she keeps this up, I won't be able to control myself anymore.

"Oh...okay. Did you want to join us? I'm feeling particularly friendly today. Well, not that I'm never friendly."

I shook my head frantically. Anything but spending time in the same room as her. "N-No thank you. I should get back. I think I've angered them enough now."

She gave me a pointed look and grabbed my arm, dragging me to the couch next to her, "C'mon Chad, what's a few more minutes?"

Oh, how little you know Ms. Sonny Munroe.

But her friends didn't seem to mind, they just continued with their game.

Damn, I could smell the grape. So I did the only thing I could think of and turned away. But I could still feel her eyes on the back of my head. "Chad, what are you doing?" I just shook my head again, my control was starting to slip. "Nothing, just admiring this lovely room." There was a pause before she spoke again. "Why aren't you looking at me?" I bit my lip, she really needed to stop talking to me. "No reason."

I could tell that she was annoyed. I could practically feel it.

"You know Chad, you've been acting pretty strange lately."

I chose not to answer her.

She let out a aggravated sigh, "Fine Chad! If you really don't want to be here then just go! I was just trying to be nice."

I left in a flash. I hoped I didn't hurt her feelings though. But I did her a favor, otherwise I would have done something I would have regretted later.

I sighed and walked over to my dressing room, crossing my fingers and hoping that she wouldn't do the same thing tomorrow.

Sorry for such a long update! I couldn't decide on what to write for this chapter. But I still hope you all liked it! Sorry for any misspellings and grammar. Review! I'll update faster if you do! Haha. You know you want to...
