Okay, first, this is like my favorite song from this band. If you haven't heard it yet, give it a listen. I absolutely love it. Second, you guys get to know my random quote of the day, because you're soo awesome with your reviews. My friend said this to end a playful argument (much like Sonny and Chad's) that was going on in class, get ready for random.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys, I have a confession. Sometimes, on Sundays, I sit in front of the T.V. in my teletubbies suit watching Barney *looks around nervously*" "One question: Tinkie Winkie, Dipsy, La-la, or Poh?" "Is that even a logical question? It's obviously Tinkie Winkie!"
Gosh, I love my friends. Almost cried from laughter at that one.
Guess I should do the disclaimer now, hey? Dang I almost forgot. Okay here it goes, I do not own SWAC or the song, but I do own a video of Skillet playing the song live! But that doesn't count D:
Song: One Day Too Late - Skillet
Tick tock, hear the clock countdown
Wish the minute hand could be rewound
So much to do and so much I need to say
Will tomorrow be too late?
Chad Dylan Cooper had never been too shy to say what was on his mind. He was as blunt as you could get, and he certainly did not avoid insults to spare 'feelings'. Ugh, just the word made him shudder. That was, until she came along.
Feel the moment slip into the past
Like sand through an hourglass
In the madness, I guess, I just forget
To do all the things I said
Allison 'Sonny' Monroe. Little Miss Sonshine. The girl changed Chad Dylan Cooper. He had no idea how, or when it happened, but it did. He started, dare he say it, apologizing (he had to, he dared himself) after he hurt Sonny's feelings. He even remembered her name for crying out loud. He only remembered his cast's names, and that was because he was forced!
Time passes by, never thought I'd wind up
One step behind, now I've made my mind up
Chad knew he had it bad for Sonny the first time Mackenzie proclaimed his love for Chloe and said the wrong name. That's right. Even the Greatest Actor of Our Generation messed up and needed more than one take. This never happens!
Today, I'm gonna try a little harder
Gonna make every minute last longer
Gonna learn to forgive and forget
'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it
After a while, Chad noticed other guys admiring Sonny. He had competition. That was the day he decided to actually have a civil conversation with her. He invited her to his dressing room (A/N not like that guys!), she accepted, they talked and by the end of it all, they were practically best friends. First, Chad didn't like this. At all. But then, he realized being best friends with Sonny was better than being frienemies.
Today, I'm gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late
One day too late, one day too late
Little did Chad know, this conversation had an impact on Little Miss Sonshine as well. She started messing up her lines, and the daydreams started. Sonny, without her friends from So Random! knowing, was secretly a 'Falls' fan. Not that she would admit it to anyone, especially Chad, but she was happy to see there was even a little bit of Mackenzie in Chad.
Tick tock, hear my life pass by
I can't erase and I can't rewind
Of all the things I regret the most I do
Wish I'd spent more time with you
The two teens started meeting up more and more, and eventually they knew their casts would catch on to their new found friendship. What they didn't know, was that their casts already knew. The casts had known from the start, but hadn't tried to stop it, because even though they didn't admit it to one another, everyone wanted Channy. Last but not least, everyone was getting tired of the feud, and they knew Channy was one way to end it.
Here's my chance for a new beginning
I saved the best for a better ending
In the end I'll make it up to you
You'll see, you'll get the very best of me
One night, Sonny has a date with Jackson Tyler, and he turns out to be a mega jerk. Who does she come crying to? None other than her new best friend, Chad Dylan Cooper, of course. After calming Sonny down and stopping her hysterics, Chad puts a few blankets on the couch and gives Sonny a big t-shirt of his and some sweats and leads her to his room to sleep there for the night.
Time passes by, never thought I'd wind up
One step behind, now I've made my mind up
Chad checks on Sonny in the middle of the night, not surprised at all that she can look beautiful in his big old clothes. He comes into his room, whispers that he'll never hurt her like her date did, kisses her on the forehead, and enters a peaceful sleep on the couch. Little did he know, she was awake the whole time.
Today, I'm gonna try a little harder
Gonna make every minute last longer
Gonna learn to forgive and forget
'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it
Today, I'm gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late
Sonny slept restlessly that night. She knew that Chad liked her as more than a friend, but she had no idea how to let him know she reciprocated the feelings. She decided to play it by ear, maybe make him a thank you breakfast in the morning, and see where it went
Your time is running out
You're never gonna get it back
So make the most of every moment
Stop saving the best for last
After preparing breakfast, Sonny woke Chad up and told him to dig in. She couldn't help but catch Chad staring at her smiling at certain points while they were eating, and she wanted to be able to read his mind more than anything in the world. Sonny brought in her extra change of clothes she kept in her car the night before and changed out of Chad's old shirt and sweats, but she decided she didn't want to let them go, so she put her new pajamas in the bag her clothes from yesterday were stored. Surely, Chad won't mind, or he won't even notice till she safely hid them from him.
Today, I'm gonna try a little harder
Gonna make every minute last longer
Gonna learn to forgive and forget
'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it
Sonny never wanted to leave Chad's house, a feeling that was made stronger when they hugged goodbye and she could swear that he was taking in her scent to save it for a later memory. Not that she wasn't doing the same to him, because of course, she was.
Today, I'm gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late
What Sonny wasn't expecting was Chad seeing his clothes in her bag. He had made up his mind. Before he let Sonny go, he closed the door in front of her, and gave her a sweet, passionate kiss. He put all of his feelings toward his Sonshine into that kiss, and was glad when he felt her reciprocating the feeling. He led them to the couch where they kept sharing kisses and cuddling, when Chad asked what he thought he would never get the courage to. "Sonny Monroe, will you be my girlfriend?"
One day too late, one day too late
One day too late, one day too late
Now Chad knew nobody could blame him when he got possessive of Sonny. He wouldn't fear rejection whenever he would put his arm around her. He wouldn't feel jealous when she talked to other guys. She was his. He knew other guys wanted her, but it was just too bad for them, they were one day too late.
