Sonny with a Chance of Skydiving

Chapter Three (Chad's POV)

"Do you like cheese?" the blonde boy Random was asking me while nibbling on a piece of cheddar. I raised my eyebrow at him and got up from the Prop House's couch which I had claimed first, but he ruined.

I hate the Prop House, it's really crowded and some of the props creep me out. Why is Chad Dylan Cooper over at So Random, do you ask? Well, because Timothy said we needed to have a little "cast pow wow". I crinkled my nose in disgust when I found out that the pow wow also included the Randoms; the adults already forced us into camping, what is it this time?

I ended up just standing behind the one chair in the corner next to Sonny while everyone else plopped down anywhere they could find.

The brunette glanced at me and stepped farther away, obviously still peeved about the whole "dressing room incident" earlier. Okay, so I admit maybe I wasn't JUST there for the ribbon, but she didn't have to go make such a big deal out of it. Psh, diva.

Timothy and Marshall stood at the front once more, bringing déjà vu back to my mind of how not too long ago they had done the same thing.

"Sorry to interrupt you kids, but we have a very special announcement." The balding Marshall said and everyone involuntary groaned.

"No, no, this was actually a request!" Timothy said in his annoying British accent. The dude is from Colorado, how does he have a British accent anyway?!

I noticed Blondie and Portlyn who had been standing next to one another exchange small smiles. I really ought to talk to Portlyn about not hanging around with the Randoms.

"Seeing how well camping went, and how Mr. Condor is pleased with the shows ratings… he has allowed you all one day off to go SKYDIVING!" Marshall announced and Timothy nodded excitingly.

Everyone froze. What the heck? Does Mr. Condor hate us?! Camping was one thing, but skydiving? Really, Condor, really?

I must have looked shocked, but it was nothing in comparison to everyone else's looks. My cast completely let their "I don't care" looks drop and stared at the adults in fear… except for Portlyn. She and Blondie were watching each other, wide eyed as if they were very upset about something. Hat dude and cheese boy both had their mouth's open and the little Random was half smiling.

Finally, I snuck a peek at Sonny, whose normally cute and cheery face was pale and immensely worried. I was about to be comforting and reach for her hand, but Timothy's overly-ecstatic tone made me jump and man-out. (CDC doesn't chicken-out.)

"I know, I know, this is a bit of a big thing for you all, but skydiving is completely safe and should be loads of fun. There will be no buddies this time unless you wish there to be, but in that case it must be someone from the opposing cast. We do the activity in 3 days, and it should be another nice change from the studio."

"That will be all." Marshall added, and dispersed along with our director.

Sonny's color still hadn't come back into her cheeks, and she looked as if she was very sick, weak almost. I decided to just gently touch her hand to make sure she was still breathing and everything.

Sonny shuddered as soon as I touched her, and then looked up at me.

"Are you going to make it or do I have to call 911?" I asked jokingly, but I wanted to be sure she was ok.

"Yeah, it's just that I'm terrified of heights." She said in a stage-whisper that only I could hear. By now everyone had moved around and was talking in shocked tones.

I didn't know how to respond. "But you were fine on the plane ride a few days ago."

"Yes, that was when I was excited about everything ahead, plus I knew we would land safely. This… Chad, if I jump out of that plane, I might land in Canada or something!" Sonny exclaimed.

I scratched the back of my head. "Trust me; you aren't going to land in Canada." I said trying to soothe her; I'm Chad Dylan Cooper for CDC's Sake!

"Let's hope. Look Chad, I'm sorry I'm dumping all of this on you right now, but I think we should get back to our casts…" Sonny said, looking around me. To my surprise, everyone had left us alone in the Prop House. Stupid adorable vulnerability.

"Psh, yeah the Falls is nothing without me." I told her, turning back into CDC and leaving the "sweet Chad" behind for now.

She rolled her brown eyes and sighed heavily. "Bye and thanks for listening. I never told anyone but Tawni that I was afraid of heights." Sonny gave me a small smile and stepped around me, exiting the Prop House.

Normally I would have cared that I was the last in an abandoned room, but the key to Sonny's last sentence meant something: she trusted me. Too bad I can't show her how I feel.


Awh poor Chad. I think I will give him a hug.

Chad: Why would I hug you?

Me: Do you want things to go well for you?

Chad: Very much so.

Me: Then get over here and hug me Chad Dylan!

Chad: Fine.

*Hugs*

I wish. *Sighs* Okay everyone gets a hug from Chad if they review please!

Chad: Hey that was never part of the deal!

Me: Shut up Cooper.

:) Review and don't forget about the contest!
