Story: Getting to Know the Real Chad
Disclaimer: I do not own SWAC. I only own the plot :)
Chapter: The End!! :(
.:.:.:.:.:.
I think I've put this off long enough, and it's time to finish this story. :D
Unfortunately, the sequel won't be coming out for a while -- due to the fact that I have school starting in two days.
However, I am working on the sequel, I just need to get a few chapters done before I come up with a name and summary so... be on the look out! :D
.:.:.:.:.:.
Sonny pulled away from Chad's embrace, and gave him a teary-eyed grin, "T-there might … be good news… I think."
Chad gave her a questioning look as he dried the tears off of her face with his thumbs, "You 'think'?"
Sonny shot him a glare.
"What's the good news?" His voice was suddenly soft and comforting to her ears.
"I could… audition for the part on Mackenzie Falls."
His eyes widened, and he bit his lip, "… Mackenzie Falls?" She watched as his eyebrows started to crinkle in confusion.
"Yes…" She gave him a confused look as he started to frown.
"Why?" He shook his head, "I mean, not that I don't want you to, but why would you want to audition for a spot on Mackenzie Falls?"
She gave him an annoyed look, "So I can have a job, and I don't have to go back to Wisconsin."
"But… are you sure you want to audition? I do love the show, but the people on the show aren't very friendly. There's a lot of drama that goes on, and I don't see you as the type of person who would put up with it."
"I'd be fine, Chad."
He gave her a shocked look, "But I thought you only liked comedy?"
"Is this your way of telling me that you don't want me on your show?"
"No!" Chad let out a sigh, "I'm just shocked. You just went from hating my show, to wanting to be on it."
"I love comedy." She shrugged, "But acting in general is my dream. And if I have to be on Mackenzie Falls to be an actress, then I will." He wove his hand through her hair, and she gave him another small smile, "Plus if I'm on Mackenzie Falls, I could be your love interest."
"Kissing on the job." He smirked, "And still getting paid for it."
She giggled a little, and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I don't know where else to go. I like watching Mackenzie Falls, and if I could get a part there I could still see my friends at So Random."
"You also would be working next to your gorgeous boyfriend." He smirked.
Sonny rolled her eyes, "Lucky me."
"Exactly." He chuckled, "So... Uh, why exactly were you fired in the first place?"
She bit her lip as she decided whether or not to tell him, afraid he would blame it on himself. "The pictures were too mature for some of the audience, and the viewer count was going down."
"Sonny, the pictures were photo shopped! Why can't Mr. Condor do an investigation to find out who took them?"
"There's no money in the budget for that." She raised an eyebrow, "All the money probably goes into buying Mackenzie Falls' lobster and steak everyday."
He bit his lip, "Most likely. I don't tell them to order it though!"
Sonny sighed, "Well, if I'm on Mackenzie Falls, I'm making sure that So Random gets the same food."
"Deal."
"I don't care what you think, I just-" She raised an eyebrow, "Wait, what? Deal? That easy?!"
He nodded, "I would've given it to you before, all you had to do was ask."
"We did!" She threw her hands up in exasperation.
"Never noticed." He shrugged. Sonny slapped his arm, and he jumped, "Just kidding, okay?!"
Sonny nodded and leaned her head on his chest, "So… do you think it's a good idea for me to audition?"
"I think it's a great idea." He smiled and leaned down to kiss the top of her head. She tilted her head up to give him a passionate kiss, and just as their lips touched, Tawni's door flung open.
"Sonny! Marshall said-" Tawni put her hands over her eyes, "Ew! Totally gross!"
Sonny laughed and pulled away from Chad to look at Tawni, "What did Marshall say?"
"You could share a dressing room with me if you got the part at Mackenzie Falls!" Tawni clapped her hands.
"Really?!" Sonny smiled. Tawni nodded and they both jumped up and down in excitement.
Chad looked down at his cell phone, "I got to go, We're meeting with our director about our new season in a few minutes."
Sonny pouted, "You really have to go, Chad?"
"Sorry, baby, but I have to." He leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Fine. I'll see you later sweetie." She chuckled at their joke as Chad walked out of the dressing room. She turned around to see Tawni giving her a weird look.
She shook her head, "You guys are so weird!"
"No we're not!" Chad's voice exclaimed from down the hallway and Sonny giggled.
Tawni rolled her eyes.
.:.:.:.:.:.
Sonny let out a sad sigh as she started piling the various costumes in her closet into a large cardboard box. Whether she got the job at Mackenzie Falls or not, her So Random costumes had to be taken out of the way.
When she finished, she grabbed a black sharpie and labeled the top of the box with 'Costumes,' and slowly recapped the marker.
Her eyes were sad as she tucked the box in the far corner of her small walk-in closet. Tawni appeared and gave her a smile, "Cheer up Sonny. We've got to make the most of this situation."
Sonny nodded, "You're right. I'm usually the outgoing one, it's funny to see you being me."
Tawni rolled her eyes, "I'm not you. Believe me, we still have our differences. When is your audition? I heard that Marshall brought you the envelope a few minutes ago."
"Yeah, he did." Sonny smiled, "I audition next week. So until then, I'm just going to hang out and give you guys sketch ideas."
Tawni frowned, "I'm so sorry about everything that's happened in the past few days. I wish-" Her gaze dropped to Sonny's neck, and she let out a surprised gasp. "Is that a Tiffany necklace?!"
Sonny giggled at Tawni's short attention span, "Yeah, Chad bought it for me! I can't believe you didn't notice it earlier."
"Whoa, I've been praying for a necklace from there for years…" She reached out and touched the sleek metal, "I'll be right back."
Sonny raised an eyebrow as Tawni started walking out of Sonny's closet, she tried to walk after her and was hit with the closet curtain from Tawni closing it. "Where are you going?"
"To tell Chad that-"
"To tell me what?" Chad exclaimed as he walked into the room from Sonny's door. Tawni turned around quickly and ran up to Chad.
She grinned, "Could you do me a favor?" Her smile quickly turned into a frown, and she let out a surprized gasp, "I just asked Chad for a favor. Am I really that desperate?!"
Chad raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "You always were, Tawni." She gave him a threatening glare, and Chad backed away, "Uh... so what is this favor we're talking about?"
"I need you to talk to my boyfriend…" Tawni grinned, "About getting me a Tiffany necklace!"
Chad rolled his eyes, "Oh the godlike-abs guy?"
"That's the one."
"What's in it for me?"
Tawni thought for a moment, and tapped her feet on the floor. "I'll stop calling you Chad Dylan Pooper."
He shook his head, "Definitally not enough. I've heard you randoms call me that for so long, it doesn't affect me in the slightest."
She frowned, and Sonny let out a small giggle from where she was standing in the closet.
"I'll…"
"Stop complaining about me and Sonny kissing each other." He gave her a grin.
She sighed and mumbled, "Fine."
"I'll see what I can do." Chad grinned, and Tawni jumped up and down excitedly.
"Thanks so much, Pooper!"
He huffed, "I thought you weren't going to call me that anymore!"
"We never agreed to both terms." She picked up her purse and took out a pair of keys, "Well, I've got to get home. I'll see you tomorrow Sonny!"
"Yep!" Sonny exclaimed, her voice sounded muffled by the closet door.
Chad grinned and walked over to her dressing room, slowly opening the fabric curtain.
"What's up Monroe?"
"God!" Sonny jumped, "Don't scare me Chad!"
He held up his hands in surrender, "Sorry! Didn't know!"
She walked over in front of him and stood up on her toes to kiss his cheek, "Are you ready to go?"
"I don't know if I'll be able to just drop you off at your house, and not try to whisk you away to my own house."
She rolled her eyes, "Either you'll find a way to survive, or you'll find a way to sneak in."
Chad smiled at the idea, "Well, I could-"
"I'm not taking any part in the sneaking in plan, you can come up with that on your own." She gave him a small smile.
He laced their fingers together, "Are you sure you're ok? I don't want you to end up sobbing yourself to sleep tonight because you didn't get it all out today."
"I'm fine Chad, thanks for caring." She squeezed his hand, "How did the meeting go, with your director?"
"Boring, boring, boring." He rolled his eyes and lead Sonny towards the parking lot. "Although, we did talk about the new character that's coming to the show."
"Oh?" Sonny raised an eyebrow, and Chad reached forward to open the door of his car for her.
After sliding into his own seat, he gave her a nod, "Yep. She's supposed to be everything Portlyn is not. Apparently, the director is basing some of the relationship off of our own… you know, the whole 'fighting thing' we used to do?"
Sonny giggled, "Used to?"
"Okay, the 'fighting thing' we occasionally have." He rolled his eyes.
"So how does fighting help Mackenzie and the new girl fall in love?"
"He's using a love/hate relationship between Mackenzie and Jennifer- she's the new girl." Chad grinned and reached over to twirl one of her curls on his pointer finger, "I think you would make an amazing Jennifer, Sonny."
"Really?" She blushed.
"Yep. My director thinks so too." Chad smiled, "He's been wanting to get you on the Falls ever since you joined So Random. He claims that you'd be an amazing character on Mackenzie Falls."
She giggled and leaned closer to him, her body leaned over the center consol so that she could look him in the eyes, "I hope I get the part, Chad. I really do."
"And so do I."
He leaned forward to connect their lips, and slowly pulled away to stare into her brown eyes, "I love you, Sonny. No matter what happens, I always will."
"I love you too, Chad." She smiled, "I'm glad we got stuck in the same hotel suite for the past month." She wove a hand through his blond hair, "…I got to know the real Chad."
"He's glad he got to know you too." Chad whispered and closed the distance between their lips.
.:.:.:.:.:.
Sadly, The End. :(
Look out for the sequel, and it was hard to tell, but there were some major uses of foreshadowing in this chapter. Most likely, you wont see it now, but you'll understand later. :D
Will Sonny get the part? And if she does, what drama will follow? Will Mackenzie Falls welcome Sonny?
Find out, in the sequel. :D I can't wait!
