The Next Day…

"What's wrong with Sonny?" Grady asked Tawni. "She seems down in the dumps."

"Oh, she's just nervous about the party, dates, kissing, normal girl stuff. I tried to help her, but she wouldn't listen."

"You… tried to help Sonny?" Zora asked.

"Yeah I know, what was I thinking?" Tawni said as she flipped her hair.

"Well, tell her she can always work on her kissing with me," Nico responded.

"In your dreams!" Zora spouted at him.

"Thanks Nico," Sonny interrupted as she entered, catching the last bit of the conversation. "Thanks for being such a good friend," she teased.

"No problem," Nico said, flushing a little.

About that time, Sonny's phone rang…

"Hello?" she answered. It was Blake. "Hi Blake! How did you get my number?"

"I met your producer Marshall and coaxed it out of him," the voice on the other line answered. "I, um just wanted to ask you to go to the movies or something with me…"

"Um, sure, I'd love to go," Sonny answered.

They worked out the details and were going that night. Tawni helped Sonny get ready for her date with Blake and gave her some pointers.


The date was going really well until about halfway through Sonny really needed to use the restroom. "I'll be right back," she told Blake as she exited the theater. As she made her way to the restroom, who did she see in line? None other than Chad Dylan Cooper himself and the rest of the Mackenzie Falls' cast waiting for their theater to let in. Sonny tried to sneak by them, but her plan didn't work.

"Sonny?" Chad asked, giving her a quizzical look. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, hey Chad! I'm on a date- um, I'm here with a friend."

"I see… and where is your friend?" he questioned.

"He's in the theater… I'm just taking a restroom break," she tried to taper off toward the restroom.

"He?" Chad piped, realizing that didn't sound very cool. "Oh, well have fun. Later," he trailed off as his group entered the theater.

Sonny enjoyed the rest of their date and Blake walked her to the door. Wow, what a gentleman; nothing like Chad. Wait, why do I keep comparing him to Chad? He's cute, nice, and genuine.

"Um, Sonny…" he began, "Do you want to go with me to the New Year's party?"

"Definitely!" she answered, and he gave her a hug goodbye. "See you on Saturday."

Sonny rushed in to the prop house, closed the door, and leaned her back against it, letting out a very relieved sigh. I might actually have a boyfriend, Sonny smiled at the thought.


The Next Day… in the commissary…

"Hey Chad," Blake strutted up to him. "Guess who got a date for the party?"

"Ummm…" Chad started, but was interrupted.

"I did!" Blake went on. "With Sonny, that is unless I find someone better."

"What do you mean? Chad asked, suddenly feeling like he should take up for her, but he had to watch his rep.

"See that girl Amber right there?" Blake motioned. "Tall, blonde, and hot! She's one of my castmates. I'm going to ask her, but if she says no, I've got Sonny as a back up."

Now Chad wasn't sure why, but this really made him angry. How could someone intentionally hurt someone as sweet as Sonny? Granted, they were'nt the closest friends, or maybe not really even friends, but Chad wouldn't ever purposely hurt her. He wanted to say something, but the words just didn't come out right.

"Does Sonny know that? I mean, don't you think that might hurt her feelings?"

"Nah, I'll let her down easily… that is, if things go as planned. Guy code, you won't say anything, right?" Blake asked, draping his arm over Chad's shoulder as if they were great buddies.

"Um, sure," Chad responded, not really knowing what to say.

"Cool man. Later," Blake said as he sped to catch up with Amber.

Chad began to think; now I may not be the nicest guy, but Sonny doesn't deserve to be second to this jerk. Guy code? That's so lame. I need to let her know what Blake is planning so she doesn't get hurt. Wait… again, why do I care? What is it about this girl that makes me think so much… and care so much?
