I'm an aunt! I am sorry I haven't updated but it's because my older sister Hailey has been pregnant for a while and she just had her baby two days ago! She had a beautiful baby boy named Jacob Nicolas and I am so happy for her and her husband Greg. How exciting?! More good news to look forward to: Starstruck! Gotta love Disney for putting on a SWAC marathon on Sunday plus Princess Protection Program and Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie. Okay so here is the next chapter from Tawni Hart's POV. I own zip.

Sonny with a Chance of Skydiving

Chapter Nine (Tawni's POV)

My blonde hair whipped at my face as the propellers from the planes spun quickly around us. Two pilots sat in the cockpits, both visibly pressing tons of buttons, creating the sandstorm that encircled around us. "Well, let's go." yelled a suddenly excited Zora. After being directed into the planes, Lacy, Zora, Chad, Sonny, Portlyn and I in one and the rest in the other, we crowded in.

The space was tight, certainly not somewhere I would have chosen, but then again I never really got to choose anything in this horrifying deal. Portlyn took a seat next to me in the back, us on the left, Sonny and Chad next to us and Zora and Lacy on the right.
"Buckle up!" The pilot called as soon as we were settled. He was a hunched over old man with a mustache and gray hair.

I grabbed the tiny seatbelt from behind me and tried putting it around my waist, and finally managed to snap the stupid thing. Remind me to never get in the back of a manual plane again. Not that there will ever be an "again" after this. That would be crazy.

"Clear. Takeoff has begun. Ignition in." The Pilot-Dude mumbled into his headpiece he wore as he turned the key up front. We heard a loud roar and started moving slowly forward. I nervously looked around at everyone.

Sonny looked like she was about to break down crying or pass out… or both. Chad was just staring at her with this worried look in his eyes. Comfort her you idiot! I thought while shaking my head. Seriously, Chad is nowhere near this "ladies man" he plays as Mackenzie, not that I have ever seen his acting. Okay, maybe I have a little, but it wasn't anything compared to mine.

Lacy's amber eyes were shifting around the plane and Zora had this huge smile on her face. Does she enjoy this sort of thing? That's insane, even for her.

Finally, I set my gaze on the girl next to me. The girl that got me into this. The girl who is supposed to be my rival but is really my friend. Portlyn was looking down at her lap, just playing with her fingernails.

"We have liftoff!" Pilot-Dude said as the plane jolted upward and my ears popped. Portlyn's head jerked up and she gripped her seatbelt. Was this the brilliant idea you were thinking about in the beginning, drama queen? I doubt it.

"So…" Lacy said awkwardly, finally setting her eyes on the rest of us.

"So…" I murmured, matching her tone.

"So, are you guys ready to do this? I am so glad Marshall decided to have us do this! Am I right, Sonny?" Zora exclaimed, a smile spreading across her lips.

Sonny breathed heavily, biting her lip. "Oh, y-yeah." She stumbled.

"Are you okay, Sonny? You look like you're going to be sick." I asked.

The brunette rolled her eyes unconvincingly and Chad looked down like he wanted to say something but thought against it.

"I'm fine…" her voice raised a little, and at that moment we all knew she was lying. Sonny was flipping out inside.

"Okay." Chad finally told her, turning to face the window behind Portlyn and me. I did the same, and I noticed how high we really were. The tress and grass all blended into one green spot and the clouds moved as the plane did.

"You ready? We are coming upon our destination. I need you kids to get on your harnesses. Who is jumping first?" Pilot-Dude asked, not turning around.

We all looked at one another, silently begging for someone to speak.

"We will!" Zora shouted, earning a death glare from Lacy.

"Are you crazy?!" The drama star hissed.

"Yeah!" Zora replied, grabbing a harness and unbelting her seatbelt along with Lacy's.

"Put it back on! I'm not jump-" Her voice got cut off by a harness thrown around her head. "There." Our cast member said, satisfied that she got the harness on the two of them.

"Open up the latch in three, two, one…" Our pilot commanded from up front, and Lacy looked like she was about to cry. "Goodbye." Lacy mumbled, waving at the rest of us before Zora threw her hands up in the air.

"THERE'S LAND! THREE, TWO, ONE, LET'S GO!" The enthusiastic girl shouted; latching onto Lacy's wrist and leaping out of the plane.

The only thing we could hear besides the plane propellers was the sound of shouting "PULL THE PARACHUTE!" from what sounded like Lacy.

Then, the aging pilot-dude spoke once more. "Next!"

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Portlyn finally spoke up, sliding the harness over her brunette curls.

"Me either." I agreed, mirroring her. Tawni Hart doesn't DO skydiving. Like I said, I could be doing my makeup!

"Good luck Tawni." Sonny said, giving me a weak smile.

"You too." I responded sincerely and Portlyn and I just looked at one another for a second.

"There's the land. You set?" I questioned. She shook her head. "Not in the least. But I guess I have to be."

And with one last glance at Sonny and Chad, who were close enough that they were touching sides, Portlyn grabbed onto my wrist and we jumped out of the moving plane, going who-knows-where. What have I gotten myself into?

There you have it. Sorry to leave you hanging like that, but I wanted to let Sonny and Chad have their own chapter together. I have the perfect landing places for everyone (all I can say is that not everybody will land in one specific place). The next chapter should be up soon. If I don't post soon, Happy Valentine's Day and prepare to get Starstruck!

PS: Chad's Blog will be updated tomorrow. You will get one before V-Day! ;)
