Oh my gosh, this is probably gonna be the longest chapter I wrote, aha. :P

*Chad's Point of View*

"Z-Zora, when did you get here? And why are you here?" I said while my hands were getting clammy. I tried to hide the nervousness in my voice.

"Hmm, let me think. Oh yeah, it's MY prop room." She said oozing duh.

"Oh right, oh look at the time," I said looking at my wrist.

"It's time to go!" I was headed through the exit door when Zora popped back up.

"Hold up, hotshot!" She said with a chuckle.

"I think we I all know what you want." She declared.

"…There are only two of us." I reminded her.

"Mhm, that's what they want you to think!" She shouted pointing a figure an inch away from my face.

"Um, alright, I think you're a little weird and-" With that I dashed through the door.

I didn't get why Zora was so threatening to me. I mean, she's only a weird little 12 year old girl…right? Then again, she had a way to hear everything through that stupid little vent. As long as she keeps her mouth shut, we can all live happily ever after.

The Chadtser had a little more important thing to do, like win the 'Best Show Award'. Don't worry, I reminded myself, You got this!

The cool air of Mackenzie Falls made me a bit less sweaty as I walked in.

"Where the heck were you?" Portyln screeched.

I straightened my tie, hoping she would leave me alone already but to make it even worse, Penelope joined in with her.

"We're waiting!" She said with a hint of annoyance in her voice along with tapping her foot.

"Penelope, I'm the star of this show, I deserve to be late." I stated.

"Whatever" she huffed, and then rolled her eyes at me. Both girls walked away.

*Sonny's Point of View*

"Marshal," I whined.

"Are you sure you think that we could win that award?" I asked while trying to keep up with his pace.

He rubbed his shiny bald head, looked around, and looked back at me.

"Gee, Sonny, you know, I'm actually not sure, but with a little effort, that award will be ours" He said looking to the Brightside.

"Now where's that rubber chicken…" he muttered. He walked away to the right, into the 'So Random' studio and shouted out a name I wasn't familiar with.

I stomped my foot. Officially I had been screwed. We all know that 'Mackenzie Falls' was gonna win anyways, so why bother even trying? I crossed my arms and tapped my foot.

"Well, well, well, look who's here." Tawni called out looking down at me.

"I thought you and Chad were hitting it off in the cafeteria." She cackled.

"Tawni, will you just leave me alone about him? He's probably the last thing I wanna think about." I defended myself.

"Or maybe the first." She whispered and raised her eyebrows. She paused.

"Well, unlike you, I gotta do more important things." She retorted.

"Like?" I asked hoping she'd say rehearse.

Instead she took out her pink bow purse, and raised both of her arms.

"Shopping!" she shouted out with joy.

Oh joy. Am I the only one determined to win this? I sighed knowing I had already been defeated.

I walked into the prop house, and knowing there was no Zora, Nico, or Grady made me feel a little less anxious. I plopped down on the couch, reaching for the remote, and then flipping through the channels. I sighed loudly, and switched on to the 'Hollywood News' channel.

"And, Jane, did you hear about the new award?" The news reporter asked a blond anchorwoman who was sitting right next to him.

Oh great, the last thing I wanted to think about.

"Indeed I did George, but did you also hear it had been canceled due to the fact that certain shows had been competing to hard?" She asked question.

"No, I did not, wow, that's…a little surprising. Hollywood does this award every year, but I guess this award was too much for California to handle."

And with that I switched off the T.V, and the screen had gone to black. Oh. My. Gosh. Yes! The award had been canceled! Maybe that's why nobody had been making a fuss over it. This time, I think I won.

*Chad's Point of View*

WHAT. THE. HECK.

The award had been canceled, and for a stupid reason? What has this world come to? I looked frantically around the room, and everyone looked a little dumbfounded when our director had blurted out the news.

And even better, the 'Randoms' probably think they beat us. Not a chance.

I dashed over to the prop house to see their reaction. There was no one there again.

"Chad?" I heard a voice call out.

I spun around. It was Sonny.

"Um, what are you doing here?" She asked with her eyes on me.

"Uh, nothing, just you know. Paying a visit to my lovely friends" I blurted out.

She laughed. "I'm sure." She said.

"Speaking of lovely friends, where are yours?" I asked.

"Oh, Grady, Nico, and Zora went to their boat convention." She replied unpacking a box.

But I just saw Zora here, I thought. I just stood there; maybe it was just a hallucination from all the stress, yeah. That was probably it.

"Oh." I whispered.

"Oh" she echoed trying to impersonate my voice. Then she laughed.

It was so adorable every time she did that. Wait! Stop thinking about her!

"As long as you're here, can you help me find my Sicky Vicky sketch?" She asked helplessly.

"Uh, sorry Munroe, I gotta go." I said without realizing it.

"Oh…" she whispered looking down at her shoes.

My body froze, and felt a bit guilty.

"Um, actually, never mind, I guess I could help you find it." I said fast before she cried.

Her eyes lit up.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~SURU730*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"How did you find it? I looked everywhere for it!" She shouted out with her brown eyes wide open.

"I just found it under the couch." I said coolly.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! She said. She put her arms around me. Was she…hugging me?

*Sonny's Point of View*

WAIT. Without even realizing it, I was hugging Chad .Dylan. Cooper. My hands went numb and quickly pulled my body back.

There was a major awkward silence between us. I stared at his baby blue eyes. He caught my gaze.

"Like what you see?" He asked with a smirk.

"Like what I see? I don't even know what I'm looking at." I shot back.

He laughed.

*Chad's Point of View*

I thought this moment was the perfect time to express my feelings. I mean, it was obvious she was into me. The talking, the smiling, the hug. All the hints were there, and nobody would know I felt since we were the only two there.

*Normal Point of View*

"Hey Munroe…" Chad said a little softy running his fingers through his blond hair. He put both of his hands in his pocket, took a long sigh, and stepped forward to Sonny Munroe.

"I've always kind of liked you" He blurted out.

"Right!" Sonny replied back.

"As friends." She smiled sweetly and patted Chad's head as if he were a 10 year old kid that had a crush on her.

"Yeah, friends." Chad said bitterly, his eyes glued to the floor.

Sonny smiled again, and walked out with the sketch in her hands.

"Way to go Chadtser" Chad muttered.

Aw poor Chad! Now whats gonna happen? Leave a review, if your little heart desires more :P
