On The Fourth day of Christmas my True Love Gave to Me, a Poutine with some Cheese Curds

I woke up, I looked towards my brother, who had fallen asleep looking like he was drunk, drool slipping from his mouth, sprawled out in the craziest position ever. His hair was messy, the brown hair was curved in every-which position. I laughed quietly and noticed that he had left Rock Band on the choose song screen, in the corner, it said "Last Song Played at 4:37 AM." Oh jeez, he won't be up until at least after 12:30. I walked downstairs yawning, I looked outside the living room window, it was very sunny, despite it being late December. I still wasn't used to the Hollywood climate. I sighed and sulked out to the kitchen, passing the dining room where I saw Aunt Velma and Uncle Curtis smiling to themselves, overlooking their children eating cereal peacefully. I always felt bad for them, they had no elder daughter or son to help them out. I walked to the pantry, grabbed an everything bagel, then some Cream Cheese from the refrigerator. I quickly toasted the bagel, then I walked out to the dinning room to quickly eat it. Aunt Velma and Uncle Curtis looked at me, then each other, with a burst of intuition in their eyes.

"Sonny…" they started, I looked up at them with curiosity.

"Yeah?" I mumbled through my mouth full of bagel.

"Have you had issues finding Christmas gifts for everyone?" Aunty asked. Oh no! They were on to me!

"Um…"

"Because, the best present that you could give us, is taking our wonderful children off of our hands for the day. You know, take them to the park, the mall, what ever your can think of. We got a wonderful gift from your father for a day at the spa. You know, those special messages that get rid of stress? Yes well we would really love to get those, would you mind?" Aunty used such a convincing tone, you almost wanted to bend down to your knees and hand her every possession you owned.

"Well, I'd be glad too." I said with a smile. The looks on their faces could have made you feel like you just did an amazing amount of charity work and won an award for it. I wasn't really happy with what I just signed myself up to do, but at least I could do some cousiny-bonding.

"Thank you so much Sonny!" beamed Uncle Curtis. He was more of a silent type, I was surprised to here him talk with such happiness.

"No problem, it will be fun! I'll get someone to help, Mary or Alexandra," I walked out to the other room, leaving my plate from the bagel on the table. Oh well, my mom could get it. Uh oh, I'm starting to sound like a diva. Anyways, I saw Mary sitting on the chair, reading some series about Vampires and Werewolves and love. Weird mix right? Alexandra sat, in her pink fluffy robe, and her pink fluffy slippers, watching Degrassi: The Next Generation. I have no idea why this was on the TV at 10:30 in the morning… must be On Demand or something.

"Soooo, guys, who wants to take Aunty Velma and Uncle Curtis's children to the park? It will be such a cousiny get together!" Wow, I was good at making baby-sitting sound fun.

"Ew." said Alexandra, still engulfed in the television show, "NO DON'T COMMIT SUICIDE!" she screamed. Suicide? She was watching and episode I haven't seen. I glanced over, oh wait, yeah I did. The character wasn't going to commit suicide he just found a gun, it just made you think he was for a small moment. I looked to Mary with a grin on my face.

"Mary…" I said, bending down to my knees in front of her chair.

"I'm so sorry Sonny, but my dad and I were planning to do some Christmas shopping. We are going to get Ice Cream then walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame!" she exclaimed. I smiled at her and her excited tone. She was really the cutest thing you'd ever meet. I couldn't ask my brother, he would be too sleepy. I couldn't ask any adult, they were always busy. So I was stuck on my own. I ran up stairs to get showered and ready for a day of stress…I mean of cousin bonding.

"Are we ready?" I asked to the four kids.

"Yep!" they exclaimed. Outside to the car we went. I stepped into my car, then I realised Karen and Olivia still needed boosters. I quickly ran to the basement, grabbed the seats they had brought with them, and sat them up.

"I hate having to be in a booster!" Olivia said. She was very tiny, and the law was, 80 pounds or over the age of 8. I was guessing the petit child was only about 60 pounds.

"Don't worry, next birthday Olivia!" I exclaimed as I strapped each of them in. Chris, the skinny young 11 year old, hopped into the seat beside mine.

"Yay! Shot gun!" he smiled. It was so cute. Alec sat down in the middle of his two sisters with a bit of a scowl on his face;

"How come I don't get the front seat?"

"Because, your brother is older then you, how about on the way back, you can have the front?"

"AWWW THAT'S NOT FAIR! I'M OLDER!" pouted Chris. I looked to them both.

"Well right now your not acting older. Come on guys, we'll take turns."

"Okay," they both grunted. I finally sat in the front seat and turned the ignition. Off we went to the beach. They'd play on the equipment, play Frisbee, make sand castles, and I'd buy lunch, where we'd have a picnic. I touched my Capri's pocket, where my change purse was. I drove up the street, Chad was jogging down the street. HAH! Chad jogged! Oh my gosh this was priceless. I honked the horn and he looked up at me, I pulled over to the side of the road. He took His Ear Buds out of his ears and paused his Ipod.

"Hey." he said, a little breathlessly from the jogging.

"Hey, so Chad Dylan Cooper jogs?" I laughed.

"Chad Dylan Coppers gotta stay in shape." He said popping an imaginary collar. At this point, I realised her was wearing a see through shirt, where I noticed he had a medium sized 6-pack. Not that I was checking him out or anything, I just happened to notice…

"Sonnnyyy why are we talking to this sweaty guy I want to go to the park!" complained Chris. I laughed. Chad looked startled.

"Excuse me?" He blinked. I laughed even harder.

"Yes Sonny, because teaching kids its funny to make fun of other people makes them grow up to be model citizens," I rolled my eyes, but sadly, it was true. Since when was Cooper so smart about children? It was quite annoying.

"He's right, Chris, that wasn't very nice, say your sorry." I told him.

"No," he pouted.

"Chris, do it now, I'm not joking," I told him sternly.

"No!" he exclaimed back. That offended me. I was offended by the fact I had to deal with him in front of Chad, who was most likely judging me.

"Chris, I will turn back right now and leave you at the house and take the rest of the kids and not you."

"Ugh! Fine, I'm sorry Chad." he said.

"Hey, no problem kid, what your name's kids?" he asked all the little ones in the car, leaning through my window. This, forced him to be only a small bit away from my face.

"My names Olivia," she said shyly. It would have been the cutest thing you've ever seen.

"Hi Olivia, that's a really pretty name.. My names Chad," he said waving. It was cute how fake he acted in front of kids, if only they didn't fall for his fake façade, I know I sure didn't.

"I'm Alec," he said, banging his hands like Tarzan on his chest. Chad chuckled.

"Hey," he said, saluting him like a solider. Karen hadn't said anything yet.

"What about you?" he asked looking at Karen. Karen looked at him in horror, then hid her face behind Olivia.

"Its okay, he won't hurt you," I said, patting her arm soothingly, Karen just shoved her face further behind Olivia.

"Chad, I'm sorry I don't think she's going to…" I began, then he put his finger up to me and leant in towards the back seat.

"How come you guys are stuck with Sonny for the day?"

"We like Sonny!" Alec smiled. Remind me too put in a little something extra with his Christmas present will you?

"Well, if I were you, I'd be careful." he said warily. What was he up to?

"Why?" the kids asked in amazement, Karen even peaked out from behind Olivia.

"Because, she has major, I mean big…cooties!" he said like he was telling a horror story.

"Woah, woah, woah…there's no way your telling my cousins…" again, I was cut off by a finger being pushed in front of my face.

"EWWWWWWW!" They said, and even Chris tried to move closer to his car door.

"Really?" asked Karen with wonder. He did it! She got her to talk!

"Yeah! So keep your distance…" he said, acting as though this was the most important order they would ever receive.

"No! I've got to take them to the park and I have to make sure that they all stay by me so you can't tell them to stay way from me oh my gosh look what you've…" again, I was silenced by a finger. Chad Dylan Cooper if you put a finger in front of my face one more time I'll bite it! I am so not joking!

"Sonny, settle down, and put some breaks in your sentences, your English teacher wouldn't be too happy with that. If your so stressed how about I help you? Which park you going to?"

"Sunshine park…off of O'Flarent street (A/N not a real place!). I really don't need your help you know."

"I'll see you there." he said with finality, he saluted the kids then walked inside his house. Off we drove to the park.

We finally got to the park, it wasn't that big, but it wasn't that small. An average sized beach it was…There was a board walk, docks, a playground, places to set up you picnics, and chip trucks. A whole bunch of them. All fighting for more costumers, lowering prices, having smiley people working, you know, that type of thing. All the kids had run like maniacs to the playground, as I set up their blanket near by , so I could see them, but so I could still feel some sun. It was a nice temperature, not too hot, but good enough for a day at the beach. If I tried to go to the beech in Wisconsin this time of year it would be to ice fish. Finally, I got really bored, and it looked like the children were having so much fun, so I got up and joined them. They didn't like it that much, because apparently my cooties would kill them, this made them laugh harder and run even faster. Alec finally put his hands on his stomach, defeated.

"Sonny, I'm hungry!" I smiled at the four kids who started complaining about being famished.

"Well, your just in luck, New York Fries has a vender set up and we can get some amazing poutine," The kids smiled and we all sat on the blanket. Everyone thought a small would be a good size, accept for Chris who wanted medium. I finally got everyone ready, when Chad ran over waving.

"Kids, did her cooties get you?!" he yelled. Karen giggled.

"Nope, no one except for Alec," she said with finality.

"That's a lie! She never got me!" he pouted.

"Yes she did!" Karen rebutted.

"Nuh-uh."

"Uh-huh!"

"NUH-UH!"

"UH-HUH!" at that moment, I realised, that the pattented 'Good, Good, Fine, Fine!" fights between Chad and I, were not better then these. Oh goodness we acted like children!

"Guys, come on, I got neither of you, you guys are lightning fast." I said. They beamed, "Chad, we are going to get food, if you want some poutine, you myswell tell me now."

"Which place are you getting it from?" he asked.

"Where do you think, they best in the world! New York Fries of course!"

"Okay, then sure, come on kids lets follow Sonny up to make sure she gets the order right!" they followed behind him, making choo-choo train noises. I got up to the lady who smiled,

"What can I get you?"

"Well, I'd like 3 small poutine's, two medium, and what did you want Chad?"

"Medium."

"And another medium." I said smiling brightly. She clocked in the money, it came to 37.00 and change. I grabbed at my pocket, expecting my change purse to be there. It wasn't. I frantically felt around all of my pockets…nothing. Not even a dime.

"What's wrong Sonny?" Chad asked, looking at me like I was crazy. I didn't expect anyways less, what would you do if you saw a girl frantically patting herself and spazzing out?

"My Change purse, it must of fell out of my pocket!" I said, extremely worried. I had 50 $ in there. Chad sighed, and grabbed a shiny silver card out of his pocket.

"This is why, I use Debit." he quickly paid for the food and turned and smirked at me,

"Don't say I've never done anything for you." I looked at him questionably, I would never say he's never done anything for me! I was about to say this, but then a couple things of poutine were kind of shoved at me. I quickly dispersed them to the kids and then continued walking. Chad talked to the kids through out most of the time we ate, then he played Frisbee with the boys as Karen and Olivia decided they'd rather make a sandcastle with me. Finally, they ditched us, saying us older people "cramped their style' in front of the other kids. Chad and I sat down on the blanket, overlooking the kids and making small talk. Finally, I heaved a sigh.

"You know, I wouldn't ever say that you know." I said, I had slowly eaten my poutine, and still had some left. The fact of having to make the children stay near by made me too busy to eat.

"Wouldn't say what?" he asked, looking at me. If it wasn't for the bunch of screaming children, and hustle and bustle of people, this would have been romantic. The sun was getting ready to set, so it made a beautiful scenery.

"That you've never done anything for me. You realise, that you have pretended to be my fake fan, you've been my fake date, you danced with me at prom, you've spent 1000 dollars on and ice rink because I missed snow, you even put me in your movie! You've done even more then that! Chad, I always appreciate when you do these things. When your helpful, I do enjoy your company, it's just, when you being the annoying arrogant jerk, I get angry." he looked at me in shock.

"Don't be telling anyone, the things I've helped you with…it would ruin my image! I'll use it when the press think I'm too arrogant and jerkish, at the moment, I'm the right amount." he said, egotistically popping his collar.

"It'll be our little secret." I said with a smile, staring up at the sky, I looked down to my watch, 5:30. I should get them home for dinner. I stood up,

"What are you doing?" Chad asked, grabbing my arm, forcing me to sit back down..

"The kids need to get home for dinner! If you unleash me that is!"

"Sonny," he whined, "They can have a late dinner! Everyone else is doing something for Christmas and I'm bored as hell! Stay here a bit longer!"

"Wow, you sure are desperate. You realise, I currently live down the street from you! You can come bug me whenever!" I told him, he looked like he had just discovered a new mathematical theory that would change the world. I was expecting him to run down the beech screaming 'EUREKA I FOUND IT!' like that random Greek guy.

"Why didn't I think of that!" he said appalled. I laughed and shook my head, sometimes he wasn't the brightest bulb in the bunch.

"KIDS COME ON LET'S GO!" I yelled. Karen and Olivia, disobediently, looked at us and shook their heads defiantly.

"You have to catch me before I leave!" Alec said, running around in circles.

"I want to go down the slide one more time!" I looked at Chad, putting my fingers on my temples.

"Chad, remind me not to have children." he laughed.

"Guys come on." he said. They ignored him and continued playing, "nobody ignored Chad Dylan Cooper!" he said in shock. I laughed, I had gotten a brilliant idea.

"Everyone! Let's attack Chad!' I screamed, they all ran over, and attacked Chad making him fall over into the sand.

"Ha-ha we got him!"

"You sure did!" I said, clapping, "Now guys, we really have to go, let's get into the car." The kids sulked over to the van, I laughed at Chad, still laying in the sand.

"Could you at least help me up?" he said acidly. I laughed and put out my hand, then he pulled himself up, closing all the space between us.

"What are you doing Chad?" I asked, a heavy blush going over my cheeks.

"I just wanted to show you, that I know, what your hiding." he said with a smirk. This was the moment. I could feel it. This was when I should tell him my feelings…

"Chad…" his arms were around my waist, but then I felt someone push me a little.

"Sonny! You said no more playing its no fair if you get to attack him!" Alec complained.

"I'm sorry. Let's go." I said getting off the sand, and walking to my car, Chad followed, wrapping his arm around my waist, and whispered in my ear,

"I know you want to kiss me." he said arrogantly. I shrugged him off, even though I liked his hand being there.

"I don't know why you would think that, you already had to kiss my hand, do I doubt I'd let you go further." he looked at me with pained eyes, I felt bad as soon as the words left my mouth. The hurt left quickly.

"Whatever you say Munroe." he said, walking to his convertible. The kids and I hopped into the car, and left for home.

"Sonny! We haven't spent any time together yet and your going out?" my dad complained. I felt bad, but Chad said he needed to see me, that we would go for a walk.

"I'm sorry dad! We will do something together…promise!" I said, grabbing a sweater. My dad grumbled something about teenage girls, and then something about teenage girls and guys and hormones. I shrugged and walked out towards the door. I looked to my brother, he decided to keep his pyjama's on all day.

"I told you I would have stayed up later then you." he said with a smirk.

"Yes, I know, you've said that 10 times in the last hour." I said with a smile of annoyance.

"Hey, I need to rub it in." I shook my head at him, and outside I went. If it wasn't for how busy my mom was, I probably wouldn't have been able to go on a walk with a boy. Luckily, I just said 'friend' and she didn't ask for more information. Chad was waiting at the end of my driveway, where I waved and he smiled back. I walked to his side.

"So…" I said.

"So, I was bored, and decided to bug you."

"Ah, well, you decide to bug me quite a lot, and half the time you don't even know your bugging me." I said with a sleek smile.

"Ouch, that hurt, but it didn't burn." he counter-reacted. I smiled at him.

"So, are you telling me, that you don't feel anything?" he asked suddenly, looking up to me with those hypnotizing blue eyes.

"What do you mean?" I said, my voice going high.

"You don't feel anything, when I slip my hand in yours?" He asked, doing so, I felt tingles go up my arm.

"Uh…"

"You don't feel anything, when I wrap my arm around your waste?" he asked taking his hand out of mine, and moving it to around my waste. We were still walking, and it felt very synchronized.

"Chad…"

"And you don't feel anything when," he turned around, leaning me against the hydro pole, closing any existent space between us. Slowly, he leant in, and we kissed. It was short, sweet, and I loved it, tingles shot through my whole entire body.

"Sonny, just let me talk, I know you might not be ready for us to leave the friendship thing, and I can wait, but don't be telling me you don't feel anything,"

"Chad… I do, but it's all to confusing, plus the magazines… our shows, we can't exactly take that right now. We'll have to take it really slow." I told him, I loved how much in close proximity he was too me. I was happy I could tell him this.

"Okay Sonny," he said with a smile, and he leant down to kiss me again, something, I should have let him do a long time ago.

Heh, so reviews? Too long? Too early for them to tell each other their feeling? Remember, if you can think up a good summary for my story I would so love you!
