Here's the next chapter. Thanks to those who reviewed last chapter. I wouldn't mind a few more reviews here and there. They make me write more!
Disclaimer: I don't own SWAC. Why would I write fanfics about it if I could just put them into episodes?
Chapter 3
Chelsea's POV
We had already said goodbye to the "Randoms", and left their "Prop House." Now it was just me and Chad, walking through the Mackenzie Falls stage. "So," I asked, "Where's my dressing room?" I looked over to Chad. He was carrying my two suitcases full of everything i'd need to put in my dressing room, as soon as he would tell me where it was! "Well," He said, putting the suitcases down, "I guess you'll have to share with someone." My jaw dropped. "Chad, Chad, Chad." I said, fake laughing, "You expect me to share a dressing room with someone?" I said, towering over him as he slightly crouched down. I leaned in closer to him and grabbed the neck of his shirt as I spoke. We stood there for a moment, until I stood back up straight, letting go of his shirt. He smoothed the tie on his Mackenzie Falls uniform before answering. I crossed my arms and waited impatiently. "Well, Chelsea, there's not really any spare dressing rooms around. There's really no other choice. So, choose someone." He spoke the words slowely and carefully, hoping he wasn't digging his own grave.
I ended up rooming with Portlyn, since she was who I knew best. I knew her as long as Chad did. She used to be a nice person, but then, or so I thought, she suddenly changed when she landed her role on Mackenzie Falls. It seemed like now she was just a mindless idiot like the rest of them, that did what ever Chad told them too. But, as I taklked to her, I found out she just did that to fit in - she actually still had a mind of her own! She wasn't to bad to hang out with. After we had nothing left to talk about, I thought for a bit. I remebered how Chad had looked at Sonny. Portlyn hung around Chad a lot. Maybe she had seen anything about the two?
"So Portlyn," I said, deciding to bring it up. "What's going on with Chad and Sonny?" Portlyn turned around in her chair so she was facing me. "Oh, so you've noticed it too." She said.
"Noticed what?" I asked. Someone was on my side about this... or atleast I hoped she meant what I thought she meant.
"How he acts towards her."
"How does he act?"
"Well, he treats the So Random! cast bad, just like we do, but he picks on her the most. But instead of saying actually hurtful things, it's almost like he's playing." She leaned in towards me and her voice went down to a whisper. "I think he likes her." She laid back in her chair again, her voice going back to normal. "What have you noticed?" she asked.
"Well, like I said earlier, I can pretty much tell what's on Chad's mind. And when he introduced me to all of them, I saw the look he gave her. And I could read what his eyes said." I remembered staring into his eyes as he looked at her before we left. There was no doubt that Portlyn was right.
"Well, I could give you some info, but you have to promise me you won't tell anyone," I hoped she wouldn't stop there. Luckily, she didn't, "Who you heard it from." I sighed in relief. Of course, if I hear anything about Chad and how he felt towards Sonny, I might wanna use it if I talk to him about her ever. "I promise." I said. "Okay, but you can't, I repeat, can't tell Chad I told you about any of this. You know how he is. Anything goes wrong, anyone speaks out of turn, Chad might fire them. We don't have him wrapped around our fingers like you do." I smiled when she mentioned that. Chad always turned into a softy around me. He had that whole "Holywood's Bad Boy" reputation, and he constantly bragged about himself - to everyone else. He acted like a self obsorbed conceited jerk around others, but to me, he stopped all of that. He would do anything for me, give up anything for me, no matter what it would be. But besides that, I knew how he acted to other people. And Portlyn was right. If you worked for him, and maybe said something while he was speaking, he'd fire you. Me on the other hand, I could interrupt him, and he'd be quiet and let me speak.
I leaned in closer so Portlyn could tell me what she had on her mind. "Well, for starters," she said, her voice in a whisper again. "he's always going over to the So Random! set. He never visited that often until Sonny came along." I nodded my head, mentally taking notes. "And for another thing, like I said, he isn't as rude to her as he is to her costars." I nodded again. "He also has what he calls "fights" with her, but i'm pretty sure he's flirting." I blinked in surprise. "Well what do they do?" I asked. "They always have a little fight at the end of their conversation, where they say "Good, Good, Fine, Fine." Or, he calls it a fight at least. LIke I said, i'm pretty sure it's flirting." I thought for a second. Then suddenly, a plan formed in my brain. I wasn't going to be able to do it alone though. I was gonna need help. I couldn't get it from Portlyn or any of the other Mac Falls cast though. Chad would fire them. I was gonna need to find someone else. Someone that Chad didn't have the power to fire.
And that's when it came to me...
I was gonna need the help of a Random.
Sonny POV
"Well she seems nice." I said to my cast as I walked back from giving my last goodbyes to Chelsea and Chad. "Yeah, if by nice you mean eeevill." Zora said. "Oh come on Zora, she wasn't that bad." I said, my voice growing higher with each word. "Sonny, don't you see the big picture? Chad, has a twin sister. It's the girl diva version of Chad! Now we have two Chads to worry about, and one of them is kind of like Tawni!" Zora said, acting like she was pointing out the obvious. "Hey!" Tawni shouted over her nails.
I thought about what Zora said. Having "Two Chads", one a guy and the other a girl couldn't be have bad, could it? Now I have one to befriend, and the other to d-. Stop it Sonny! You DON'T like Chad! You weren't going to use the word "date" at the end of that sentence. You were going to use... uh.. d-d-d-... oh, I got nothing! I thought. I couldn't even lie to myself! I sighed. Maybe I wasn't that good of an actress, just like Ch- I'm not even going to say his name! Nothing is going to make me think about Ch-... oh darn it, I just thought about him! I took a deep breath. Think Sonny think. Think about anything besides... him.
Chelsea's POV
I was still in my - and Portlyn's - dressing room. Portlyn had left by now. I was pacing back in forth, deep in thought. What "Random" could I trust? What were there names... I snapped a few times. Rico and Brady? No... Rico, Cico, Bico.. Nico! Nico and Gravy? No... Nico and Gra.. Grady! That's it! Nico and Grady. No, they didn't seem like the people to ask. They were guys, and not very romantic ones at that. They wouldn't get most of my plan. I needed a girls help. What was that one... Nora, Flora, Z.. Zora! No, she was young, and besides that weird. Who was that last random? Tori.. Tony.. Tawni! Tawni, she'd be perfect! She talked a lot about guys. I thought about the rivalry, and how, if Chad and Sonny liked eachother, they could be hated by their casts. But Tawni seemed like the one that would want Sonny to follow her heart. Or atleast I hoped so...
"Why would I want to help set Sonny up with Chad?" Tawni hollored at me. I glared back at her. She seemed to remeber how Chad acted when I did that, and looked down, moving around in her seat. "You wouldn't be helping set Sonny up with Chad, you would just be helping me find out if they like eachother. A lot of people say they do, but I just want to make sure." I said, crossing my arms. "Fine, i'll do it!" She said. "Great. Now, here's my plan." I said, leaning in. Tawni listened to every word, then nodded her head.
Step 1 of my plan was being put into action: Get a "Good, Good, Fine, Fine." Fight to happen in front of me, so I could look into Chad's eyes and see right through them into his mind while he 'fought' with Sonny. Right now, we (We meaning Tawni and Me) had to get Chad and Sonny together. Hopefully after that, they'd take care of the rest. I was in charge of Chad while Tawni had Sonny. "So," I said to Chad, "Why don't we go down to the cafeteria?" I said, in the cutest way possible. Again, being Chad's sister, I still had him wrapped around my finger. He still would do anything for me. So of course, he agreed. We began walking down, when I heard footsteps coming from the other direction. A smile crossed my face. This was going to work.
Me and Chad entered the cafeteria only seconds before Tawni and Sonny. As soon as they entered the room, Chad quickly turned around. Sonny's jaw dropped. I made sure to stand near the middle of them. I need to see Chad's expression. "What is she doing here?" "What is he doing here?" Sonny and Chad asked at the same time, pointing at eachother. They both pointed at them selves and answered simultaneously again. "I'm here to get a fro-yo with Chelsea!" "I'm hear to get a fro-yo with Tawni!" Tawni and I both stood near the center of them, but still off to the side, giggling everytime they yelled at eachother at the same time. "Well maybe I should just go!" Chad said. "Well maybe you should!" Sonny shouted back. "Here it comes." Tawni whispered, holding on to my arm. I stared directly past Chad's eyes, into his mind. "Fine!" he said. "Fine!" Sonny shouted back. "Good!" Chad yelled. "Good!" Sonny yelled even louder.
And there it was.
I got my evidence.
But my plan wasn't nearly over yet.
Tawni's POV
I had helped Chelsea get a "Good Fine" fight between Chad and Sonny right in front of her, and I expected that to be the last of it. But, I was wrong. Chelsea still had more planned, and she said she would still need my help. I told her I wouldn't help her set Sonny and Chad up together, but I knew that would be somewhere at the end of her plot. But, after the first plan, I realized it was kind of fun working behind others backs with Chelsea. When I first met Chelsea Dawn Cooper, I thought she was a no good drama snob, just like Chad. But I was wrong. (Why am I wrong so often lately?) Sure, she was a bit of a diva, and sort of bossy, but she wasn't that bad to hang around. So, I guess i'm stuck helping her with this plan of hers.
Chelsea's POV
Step one of my plot had been completed. Now it was time for Step 2, get to have Chad admit he's jealous when some guy hits on Sonny. I could have done it the other way, but this way was easier. Me and Tawni looked around the studio until we found some cute actor from one of the shows. We told him we'd pay him if he'd flirt with Sonny. He agreed. Step 2 was going go so far.
Me and Tawni waited until lunch time. We stalled by the fro-yo machine until both Chad and Sonny were in the cafeteria. I texted Andrew (That was the name of the guy we hired.) and told him to come in now. He came in, walked past Sonny, then stopped, turned around, and began talking to her.
We saw Sonny laugh a couple of times, and she smiled weird. Tawni told me thats how she smiled when she was flirting. Then, while Tawni continued to watch Sonny, my eyes went over to the Mackenzie Falls table. Chad was speaking to the rest of the cast, until he shushed them when he heard Sonny giggling in her flirty kind of way. He turned his head over to where Sonny was. I could see the anger boiling up inside of him. I nudged Tawni's arm and pointed and Chad, giggling. When she stared at him her mouth fell open. "Wow," she said, "He is so jealous right now." Tawni took out her phone and pressed the record button as her phone followed Chad while he walked towards Sonny. I did the same. That way we would catch him on video. He couldn't deny a single thing!
Chad walked over by Sonny, his face still red. "Oh hey um David," He said, tapping Andrew's shoulder. "It's Andrew." Andrew said nervously. He could clearly see how red Chad's face was. "Yeah whatever. Anyway, I think you're directors calling you." Chad said angrily. I could see Andrew remebered how Tawni and I explained to him that we would be making Chad jealous as he nodded his head and walked away. I was about to stop recording when Tawni nudged me to stop. She pointed towards Sonny and Chad, and mouthed the word "Look."
"What do you think your doing?" Sonny said, getting up to glare at Chad. "What do you think you're doing! Flirting with every guy that walks your way!" Chad said. His cheeks were now red not only because of anger, but because of embarassment. "For your information, he started flirting with me first! And besides, who gives you the right to tell him to get lost? I know his director wasn't calling him! If he was, you wouldn't have known it was for him, because you didn't even know his name!" Sonny shouted. "Uh oh." I whispered to Tawni. "They're starting to draw attention.." "Oh, this happens all the time. It won't be that big of a deal. They'll say Good and Fine and then one will storm out... normally Sonny." She whispered back. Knowing that, I allowed a smile across my face. Chad was jealous, and that's all I needed.
"You can't just go around flirting with whoever you want Sonny!" Chad yelled back, sightly quieter, noticing the drawing crowd. "Oh, and why not Chad?" Sonny had her arms crossed. "Because.. because... ugh! Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't need to explain hiself to you!" And Chad stomped out of the cafeteria. "It looks like they're changing it up a bit." Tawni giggled. "He left this time instead." I stopped the video recording and me and Tawni walked off, eager to star the next part of my plan... now known as our plan...
...Was I becoming friends with a random?... I'm not even a main role on Mackenzie Falls! I'm not part of the rivalry.. I can do whatever I want!.. except I should support my twin brother. Wait, if he can love a random, I can be friends with one!
I decided to put my plan aside for a while, and instead just talk to Chad. Our day of work was over, and we were back at our house. I walked up to Chad's bedroom door. Normally, I would just burst throught the door no matter what he said. But, right now, he was still in a bad mood from his fight with Sonny, and I felt in a 'nice' mood, so I decided to knock.
It had gotten pretty late. I was already in my night clothes (Pink Pajama Pants and long-sleeved-shirt) when I went up to his door. I hoped he hadn't been asleep. I knocked on it, hoping deeply for a response. Instead of hearing what I expected to hear, Chad's normal voice saying "Who dares to interrupt the great CDC!" (Even though my name was CDC too!) I heard a sad voice, that said "Who is it?" I sighed with relief. "It's me, Chelsea." I said. "Come in." Chad said back. As I opened the door, I saw Chad, laying on his bed, looking exhausted, and sad. As I walked in he sat up. I smiled and handed out a plate of cookies to him. "Mom baked cookies." I said. He returned my smile, taking one. I set the plate on the bed as I sat down next to him. "Can we talk?" I asked.
"What is there to talk about?" He asked. "Well..." I took a pause before answering, afriad of what he would do or say when I mentioned it. "I wanna talk about your fight with Sonny." He didn't do anything like I expected. He twitched, but that was it. No telling me to leave, no hiding his face in his pillow, nothing. "You saw that?" He said. I nodded. "Is that why you're so upset right now?" I asked, looking over at him. His head was down. He sighed before answering. "Yes." I put my head down again, focusing on the floor instead of his face. "Were you jealous?" I asked. "It's just... well, I... umm.." he said, getting more nervous every second.
"I wasn't jealous, no!" He finally responded. "I can tell your lying. Chad, i've always been able to tell wether you were lying or not, and what you were thinking." This time, when I looked over at his face, he was staring right back at me. "I wasn't jealous!" He said, getting up and pacing around his room. "I just... I just made myself look like a fool and a jerk in front of that whole crowd! That's why i'm upset. My reputation will be ruined!" "Chad, you know just as well as I do that you yelling in public would improve your reputation of being "Hollywoods Bad Boy." I said the last three words in a mocking voice. "Chad, you're upset because you made yourself look like a fool and a jerk in front of Sonny, aren't you?"
He took a deep breath. "Yes." He said. I could almost not hear him.
