K so I know i just updated like three hours ago, but do you know what it's like to be stuck at home with nothing to do but eat, watch DC shows on TV and play on the computer for like three days? And I don't even have my phone cuz someone had do drop it in a glass of lemonade (that someone's me by the way). So yea i haven't seen another person in at least 36 hours...unless my cat counts...i've been reduced to listening to "Stop SPS" on repeat and living off melba toast and lemonade. Yea i no, it's sad. So yea that's why I'm updating. I'll probably be up pretty late again since i didn't get to sleep until like 7 this morning so expect a third chapter tonight. This chapter's pretty long btw compared so some so your welcome!

"How'd it go with Sonny?" Liam asked me as I walked in the door. I'd driven Sonny home about an hour ago and now I was back at home.

"I don't know," I said. "What did you see?"

"Uh...nothing," he said. "Why? Did you strike out?"

"No," I said quickly. "I just...I need more time. How about we go back to three weeks?"

"You did strike out," Liam exclaimed, grinning smugly. "And no way, the deal was two weeks. You still have a week and a half left anyway. That should be enough time...or not." I rolled my eyes. Okay, a week and a half before I broke Sonny's heart. That was still better than right now. I just had to keep Sonny away from Liam because if he saw us together, he was sure to tell Sonny about the bet.

"Fine," I agreed. "But don't star shopping for seat covers yet. I could still win this thing."

"Yea right," Liam said, laughing. "Sonny doesn't even like you." Well, he was half right. She may like me now, but once she found out I had used her, she wouldn't like me at all.

"So, what are you up to tonight?" I asked, trying to sound casual. Sonny had asked me to take her out tonight and I didn't want Liam to be home when I left because I knew he'd hound me with questions.

"Nothing," he answered, walking into the kitchen and opening the fridge. He took out a can of whipped cream and squirted some into his mouth. What a pig!

"There's a Hannah Montana concert tonight," I said, taking two tickets out of my pocket. The cast of Mackenzie Falls always got perks like concert tickets. Being the star of the number one show sure was great. "Why don't you and Amanda go?" I held out the tickets and Liam took them from me.

"Why?" he asked, narrowing his eyes. "Don't you wanna go?"

"There are only two tickets," I reminded him.

"But normally you'd just go with Amanda and leave me at home," he said. Damn! He was onto me.

"I don't like Hannah Montana," I said, quickly. "And besides, if I go out in public with Amanda, people will think we're dating. It'll be all over the magazines." I shuddered at the thought. Amanda's amazing, but she's practically my sister. That would be so wrong.

"Fine," Liam said, stuffing the tickets in his pocket. "Hey, Mandy," he called up the stairs. "We're going to Hannah Montana tonight." She let out a high-pitched squeal and I laughed. Great! Now Liam would be out of the way and I would be free to get ready for my date with Sonny.

Five hours later, Liam and Amanda were gone and I was ready for my date. I took one last look at myself in the mirror before getting in my car and driving to Sonny's apartment.

The doorman let me in and I went up to the third floor where Sonny's apartment was. I knocked on the door and her mother answered it.

"Come on in, Chad," she said. I was surprised she knew my name. Sonny must have told her about me. "Sonny," she called.

"Just a second," Sonny answered. The door to her bedroom opened and she emerged in a purple sundress and black flats.

"Wow," I said. Sonny blushed. "You ready?"

"Yea," Sonny said. She grabbed her purse off the couch and I escorted her down to my car.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked. We hadn't really discussed what the plan was. All she had said was to be at her house by 7:30.

"Didn't you say you had tickets to Hannah Montana?" she asked. Crap!

"I kind of gave them to my cousins," I told her, glad that at least one of my excuses wasn't a lie.

"Oh," Sonny said, obviously disappointed. "That's fine. Why don't we just go out to eat then?"

"I have a better idea," I said. I put my key in the ignition and started my car.

"Where are we going?" Sonny asked as I backed my car out of the space I had parked in.

"You'll see," I said, mysteriously. The whole time I was driving, Sonny was hounding me with questions.

"Are we going to a restaurant?" she asked. "The beach?" I just sat there in silence and laughed occasionally at Sonny's guesses. "I know," she exclaimed. "We're going to the park." I laughed quietly.

"Not even close," I muttered.

Finally, we were there. I turned into the Condor Studios parking lot and parked my convertible in my spot.

"What are we doing here?" Sonny asked. "Did you forget something?" I didn't answer. I just got out of my car and started walking towards the door.

"Chad," Sonny called after me. She unbuckled her seat belt and ran after me. I opened the door and flicked on the lights. Everyone had gone home, but luckily I had a key. Sonny followed me onto the set.

"What's going on, Chad?" she asked. I sat down on the fake grass and smiled. Sonny sat down next to me, still looking confused. I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled the number for the pizza place.

"One large pepperoni pizza to Condor Studios please," I told the girl who answered the phone. I hung up and smiled at Sonny.

"How does a picnic sound?" I asked. Sonny smiled and hugged me.

"This is perfect," she said. "Maybe you are more like Mackenzie than I thought." I smiled. She was right. Hanging out with Sonny had changed me for the better. I hoped that I would still be the same guy I was with her when all this was over.

The pizza delivery guy arrived ten minutes later. I tipped him and brought the pizza back to the Falls. Sonny and I ate and talked for about an hour before her phone rang...or should I say mooed.

"Hey Tawni," she said, putting her finger to her lips to tell me to be quiet. "What's up?"

"Do you want to hang out?" I heard Tawni say on the other line.

"I...I'm busy," Sonny said, quickly.

"Doing what?" Tawni asked.

"Stuff,"

"What stuff?"

"Important stuff," she said quickly. "I just can't hang out okay?"

"I get it," Tawni answered. "I guess Chad's more important than me then."

"I'm not with Chad," Sonny lied.

"Turn around," Tawni said, but it wasn't on the phone. Sonny and I both turned around and there was Tawni.

"Tawni," I said, standing up quickly. "What are you doing here?"

"I was rehearsing with Grady and Nico when my pizza arrived," she told me. "Or at least I thought it was mine. Turns out it was being delivered to Mackenzie Falls. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on. I knew you lied to be about the toilet, Sonny."

"For the last time Tawni," Sonny said. "I really did get my foot stuck in a toilet. Chad just helped me get it out. And besides, I couldn't have been with Chad the whole time, Zora saw him." Tawni crossed her arms and made a "hmph" sound.

"Well, even if I was wrong about that, there's no way I'm wrong about this," she said. "You two are on a date."

"Fine," Sonny said. "We're on a date. Are you happy?"

"No," Tawni answered. "How could you date him?"

"I-I..." Sonny began, but Tawni didn't let her finish.

"Guys," Tawni called. "Come here. I need your help." Nico and Grady appeared in the doorway.

"What is it, Tawni?" Nico asked. Then he spotted us. "Oh no, Sonny, please tell me this is just another fake date."

"Well..." Sonny began.

"Sonny," Grady exclaimed. "You can't seriously be telling us you're interested in...Chip Drama Pants." Sonny sighed.

"Grady," she said. "Go away. And that goes for all of you. Just leave us alone. It's none of your business who I date."

"We're a family, Sonny," Tawni reminded her. "If Chad's dating you, he's dating all of us."

"Ew," Nico, Grady and I exclaimed in unison.

"And there's no way we're dating Chad," Tawni continued. "So either you break up with him or you break up with us"
