"Chad..." she began, pausing for dramatic effect. Wow. Who knew drama could be a bad thing. "Do you watch So Random?" Oh shit!

"Ha," I laughed. "Don't be ridiculous. I have...ballet lessons every Tuesday night at six so I couldn't possibly be watching So Random" Ballet lessons? Real smooth, Chad.

"Ballet lessons?" Sonny snickered. "Chad, that's even more embarrassing then you watching So Random." I got out of my chair and tossed down my napkin, pretending to be offended.

"That hurts, Sonny," I said, choking up as I said her name. Being the greatest actor of your generation sure comes in handy sometimes. "Just because I'm a guy, doesn't mean I can't love ballet."

"Okay," Sonny said, not buying my lie at all. "Then let's see something."

"Something?" I asked, confused.

"Some ballet stuff," she told me. I froze, racking my brain for any information on ballet that might be in there. I thought back to episode 115 of Mackenzie Falls, the episode where Mackenzie falls in love with a ballerina. All I could remember was her twirling and curtsying. How hard could that be? I took a deep breath and did a little twirl, almost falling over in the process, and then curtsied. Sonny laughed.

"Curtsying's for girls," she told me. "And besides, if you don't watch So Random, how do you know when it's on." Busted!

"Fine," I said, lowering my voice despite the fact that there was nobody in the room but me and Sonny. "I watch So Random. Are you happy?" Sonny laughed.

"Very," she said. "So I suppose I should tell you I'm a Mackenzie Falls fan now."

"Really?" I asked, surprised that Sonny would keep that from me.

"Yea," she answered. "But I'd be lying." I rolled my eyes. Of course Sonny wouldn't watch The Falls. She's not into drama. And I'm not usually into comedy, but after Sonny joined the cast of So Random, it got a lot better. I'm don't know why, but it did.

"Well, I better get back to my dressing room," Sonny said, breaking the awkward silence. "Everyone's probably still worried sick about me."

"I'll walk you," I offered. Sonny smiled and I took that as a yes. After walking Sonny back to her dressing room where she was bombarded by questions from the rest of her cast, I made my way down the hall and over to the falls which brings us to Chloe and the others stopping me in the hallway.

"Where were you?" Devon asked, angrily.

"We waited for you for an hour," Penelope told me. "Now we have to postpone filming until next week."

"That's not so bad," I said. "Now we'll have more time to rehearse."

"We're already perfect," Trevor insisted. "Well, we are. You, I'm not so sure about." That was it. I lunged at Trevor, getting ready to hit him, but Penelope and Chloe held me back while Devon chanted "Fight, fight, fight."

"Shut up, Devon," Penelope shouted at him. He stopped chanting and went back to the Falls.

"How could you say something like that to me?" I asked, dramatically. "I thought you were my best friend."

"That was then," Trevor said, looking down. I could almost hear the dramatic background music playing. "This is now." I gasped.

"Trevor, don't do this to me," I begged. "You're the only friend I've got."

"Goodbye Mackenzie," he said sadly, following Devon's lead and heading back to the falls. Penelope was right behind them and even Chloe went with them after a quick wave goodbye. I stood there pondering what had just happened, suddenly realizing how odd it all was. The rest of the cast and I slipped into our characters on a regular basis, but I had never thought it was weird...until now. I shrugged and walked down towards the Falls. I may not be talking to the rest of the cast, but I still had to apologize to Will.

"Chad," he exclaimed when I walked in the door. "Where the hell were you?"

"I'm so Sonny," I told him.

"Sonny?" he asked, confused.

"Sorry," I corrected quickly, blushing a little at my mistake. Will gave me a knowing look.

"I get it," Will said smugly. "You like that funny girl from, as you would call it, 'Chuckle City'" My face turned even redder. What the hell? Since when does CDC blush?

"I do not," I defended myself. "It's just a little bet I've got going on with my cousin."

"What kind of bet?" Will asked.

"I bet him that I could win Sonny over in two weeks," I confessed. "Otherwise, I have to give him my car." Will looked like his eyes were about to fall out of his head.

"Give him your car?" he repeated. Everyone knew who much I loved my baby. "So what happens if you win?"

"When I win," I corrected him. "Liam goes back to Michigan early." Will nodded.

"So, you're using her," Will said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"I am not," I protested, half trying to convince Will, half trying to convince myself. I had never really thought about it that way before. What was going to happen once I won? Sonny would be expecting us to continue seeing each other, but I'd have to tell her it was all for a bet. She would never forgive me.

"So, you really do like her then?" Will asked. "And you're going to keep seeing her after the bet's done?"

"Of course not," I said. "Sonny's a cool girl, but I don't like her in that way." Or do I? I wasn't really sure of my feelings for Sonny right now. I mean, Sonny's not even that famous. How could I like someone like that? And even if I do watch her on So Random once a week, doesn't mean I'm okay with dating a funny girl...at least not in real life. I'd have to pretend to date her if I wanted to win the bet. This was going to be harder than I thought. Normally, I only care about myself, but there's just something about Sonny. I really do care about her no matter how much I deny it. Just...not in that way...I think.

"Why don't you go home, Chad?" Will suggested. "There's no point sticking around since filming's been postponed." I nodded and went back to my dressing room to change out of my Mackenzie outfit and into my Chad clothes. I flicked on the light, remembering the good old days when my dressing room was powered by Nico and Grady's exercising. It was green and entertaining. I put my Mack Falls clothes away in the closet and put on my jeans and T-shirt. Then I headed outside to the parking lot where surprisingly, Sonny was waiting for me in the passenger seat of my convertible.

"Sonny, what are you doing in my car?" I asked, trying to remember if I had invited her to hang out. Sonny looked up at me. Her eyes were red from crying and her face was wet with tears.

"Chad," she exclaimed, quickly wiping away her tears and faking a smile. "I was hoping we could hang out again tonight. Are you busy?"

"Sonny, what's wrong?" I asked, getting into my car and putting my arms around her. Sonny just shook her head and started crying again. She rested her head on my shoulder, staining my shirt with in the process, but I didn't care. Sonny was more important than my shirt. I never really liked it that much anyway.

After awhile, my arm started falling asleep and I was forced to pull away. Sonny had settled down a bit so I decided to start driving home.

"Do you not want to talk about it?" I asked, as we cruised down the highway. Sonny nodded and then shook her head.

"I..." she began. "They...Tawni didn't believe me."

"About what?" I asked, confused as to what this was all about.

"About me getting my foot stuck in the toilet," she said.

"So?" I asked. "I know it hurts that your best friend doesn't trust you, but it's not the end of the world."

"She thinks I was with you," she explained. "She thinks I made the whole thing up to hide the fact that we're 'an item'. Now she says I have to choose between you and them."

"We're an item?" I asked, smiling a little in spite of myself.

"No," Sonny said quickly. "I mean...I don't know. You tell me, Chad." I paused for a moment to think. If I told Sonny we were an item, I would have to hurt her later. But if I told her we weren't, I would lose the bet for sure.

"What do you want us to be?" I asked, cleverly avoiding giving her a direct answer.

"What do you want us to be?" Sonny echoed, obviously wanting to know how I felt before she answered my question.

By now, we were out in front of my house, so I put the car in park and took the key out of the ignition. I really didn't know what to say to answer Sonny's question. So, being the wimp I am, I returned the question to her.

"I asked you first," I said, feeling like a six-year-old.

"Well, what would you say if I said I wanted us to be friends?" she asked, still carefully avoiding giving me an answer. I thought for a moment.

"I'd say that if that's what you want, it's what I want," I answered.

"And if I said I wanted us to be more than friends?" she inquired.

"Sonny," I began. "I really care about you and I just want you to be happy. So whatever you want, it's fine by me so just answer the God Damn question alrea-" Sonny stopped me before I could finish my sentence by putting her finger to my lips. I took her hand in mine and kissed it gently. Sonny blushed and looked me in the eyes. We both knew what was coming; we were just both too afraid to make the first move. Man up Chad. I told myself. Just kiss her already. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance. Before I could kiss her, Sonny pressed her lips against mine. I kissed her back and for a second, I felt like everything was perfect. Then I remembered the bet. This was it. I had succeeded in winning Sonny over. In a matter of minutes, Liam would have to admit defeat and by tomorrow, he'd be back on a plane to Michigan...and Sonny would be hate me.

"Sonny," I murmured, after pulling away from our kiss.

"Yes?" She asked, undoing her seatbelt and sliding over closer to me. I had planned to tell her about the bet. Just get it over with. I told myself. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I couldn't hurt Sonny like that. Despite my hatred for all things "funny", these past few days I'd spent with Sonny had been oddly nice. I wasn't about to throw that all away. What are a few more days with Liam? As long as I can spend a few more days with Sonny, it's alright with me.

"Nothing," I said, looking into her big brown eyes. "Just...I'm really happy."

"Me too," she answered, giving me another quick kiss on the lips. Not for long. I thought to myself. Pretty soon, she'd be as miserable as I was every time I thought of hurting her.
