Life is good when you have no homework, parties every weekend, endless shopping days and free hours to write your FanFiction peacefully. –sighs-

I'm glad everyone enjoys this. I LOVE writing it.

You know what I was thinking today? Wouldn't it be weird and amazing if someone wrote a story with 73877739290 chapters? Do you think FanFiction has a limit to how many chapters you can put up? Hmmm.

Random Advice of the Day: Never drink lemonade right from the carton at a public event.

Sonny entered the Mackenzie Falls set, unsure of what to expect. Chad followed close behind her and took in the scene in front of him.

As soon as the double doors opened, everyone on the set of Mackenzie Falls froze. They had seen the video. Funny how fast technology works these days.

Sonny scrutinized the still environment before her. Everyone had frozen in shock; eyes wide, mouth opened. It was like a picture; nobody moved. In an attempt to stir some reaction, Sonny took Chad's hand in hers. Some people, being Mackenzie Falls folk, gasped dramatically, while others blinked in astonishment.

Chad wanted to roll his eyes. He never realized how ridiculously dramatic these people were; he had been a part of it for so long.

"Move along, people, nothing to see here," a booming voice echoed throughout the set. The cast and crew snapped out of their trance and began bustling about like they had before, organizing papers and running over lines. A large man with tan skin and big brown eyes stepped forward, flashing a bright smile their way.

Sonny almost jumped when Chad suddenly squeezed her hand. Chad stepped closer to her, knowing this would be trouble. He never liked Gerard Henderson; he had always been a jerk to the Mackenzie Falls cast, and Chad was worried about how Gerard would act around the star of the television show he deeply despised.

"Well, well, well, Miss Sonny Munroe," Gerard said pleasantly. He held out his hand in greeting. "I'm Gerard Henderson, the show's producer. I've heard quite a bit about you."

Sonny forced a smile, not knowing if the things Gerard had heard about her were good or bad. She shook the man's hand, all the while feeling Chad's thumb lightly press her hand in warning.

"So, what brings you to the Mackenzie Falls studio?" Gerard asked politely. "Is Chad giving you a tour of our set?" He winked at Chad, but Chad only scowled in return.

Sonny, not wanting to get into the whole story, just said, "Yeah, I've only been here once or twice; I never really got to see the whole thing."

"Well, I hope you enjoy it. Bart!" Gerard snapped. A tall, lanky teenage boy with acne and crooked glasses stumbled over. "Get this nice young lady a smoothie, would you?" Bart nodded. "Sonny," Gerard continued. "I need to speak with Chad for a few moments. He'll meet you back at the food table."

Chad let go of Sonny's hand and said, "Go, Sonny, we'll only be a few minutes." Sonny nodded and followed Bart to the food counter.

As soon as they were out of hearing distance, Chad exploded.

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked. "You hate Sonny. You hate her show. Why are you being nice to her? You don't even treat your own employees that way!"

Gerard placed a hand on his heart in mock pain. "Ouch, that one hurt, Chad," he said with false hurt. "Let's not make assumptions here. For example, who ever said I hated her?"

Chad rolled his eyes. "What are you up to, Gerard? Because whatever it is, I don't like it." Chad crossed his arms in anger. He knew his producer, and he knew Gerard only acted like this to get what he wanted. Chad also knew that whatever Gerard wanted this time he wouldn't get. Not if Chad anything to do about it.

Gerard threw his arm around Chad's shoulder. "I have this vision," he said. "I'm not going to lie to you- it does involve Sonny--" He put a finger to Chad's mouth before he could protest.

"Now, now, just listen here," Gerard said with a smirk. "Because it benefits you as well."

That shut Chad up.

"Portlyn's having her baby, which technically means that we'll have to kick her off the show. I know, how tragic." Chad's heart sank when he heard this, especially since Gerard didn't seem all that upset about it. Portlyn had been on the show for almost 3 years and was one of Chad's friends. She played an important part in Mackenzie Falls, and now this baby would ruin that. But Chad continued to listen to Gerard.

"So, this obviously means we need a new love interest for Mackenzie…"

Chad stopped. He hoped Gerard wouldn't say what Chad thought he might….

"And we were thinking, what with this amazing chemistry between you and that girl, Sonny, that we would ask her to become part of the loving family we call Mackenzie Falls." Gerard stood in front of Chad, arms spread open in a supposedly majestic gesture towards the studio.

Chad Dylan Cooper was red with anger.

"No," he said sternly. There had only been one time when Chad stood up to Gerard Henderson, and that was when he was first given a role in Mackenzie Falls. Not many people knew this, but Chad was first cast as an extra. Knowing his abilities, Chad went and found the producer and told him there was no way he was casting Chad as an extra. This resulted in Chad having another audition, where he was happily cast as Mackenzie. He hoped his previous luck stayed with him now as he stood up to Gerard a second time.

"Chad, Chad, Chad," Gerard ticked. "I wasn't asking permission."

With a smirk and a pat on Chad's back, Gerard left, leaving behind a very angry Chad Dylan Cooper.

Sonny sipped her strawberry-banana smoothie quietly. After Sonny and Bart left Chad and Gerard, the seconds that passed became more and more awkward. Neither of them spoke as they both consumed their fruity drinks.

Finally, to break the hated silence, Sonny said, "So, you work here?"

"For now," Bart said, puberty giving him no mercy. "I'm here for a summer internship. But sometimes I just don't think it's worth it. Mr. Henderson is strict."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he's tough." Sonny nodded and the awkward silence returned.

"Is it really true?" Bart asked quietly, not caring that his voice squeaked on every word.

"Is what true?" Sonny asked. She took a long sip of her smoothie as she waited.

"You and Chad…dating?"

Sonny still wasn't used to the idea of her and Chad Dylan Cooper dating and she choked on her drink.

"Sorry, was that too personal?" Bart asked, blushing at his humiliation.

Sonny laughed. "Hardly. The whole world pretty much knows by now," she said with a smile. "Yeah, it's true. Why?"

"I don't know," Bart replied, taking a long sip of his berry smoothie. "It's kind of weird, you two together. You're so opposite."

Sonny smiled. "I know, but haven't you heard that opposites attract?"

"Like magnets," Bart said with a grin. "You're so different yet you are drawn to each other."

Sonny laughed. "Exactly," she said.

"It's still kind of weird…" he mumbled.

"What's weird?" Chad asked as he approached the two teens.

"Magnets," Sonny said. "Magnets are weird."

Chad looked at her, confused. "Anyway," he said. "Sonny, can I talk to you for a second? Sorry Bart." He glanced at Bart apologetically. Bart nodded.

Chad took Sonny by the hand and dragged her over near the 'EMERGENCY EXIT' door.

"Making an escape, Chad?" Sonny laughed. But Chad was serious, and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"What's the matter?" she asked, gulping down the last of her smoothie.

Chad sighed. "Gerard wants you to join the show," he finally said. He didn't know how Sonny would take it, and every second he waited for her to respond was spent in pure agony and curiosity. Would she really want to join Mackenzie Falls?

"…why?" she wondered aloud.

"Portlyn's leaving, because of her little…situation. So, Mackenzie needs a new love interest. He wants you…"

Sonny thought about this. She couldn't leave So Random! because of her friends. Then she reminded herself that everyone was angry with her anyway. And she had always secretly wanted to prove to Chad that she could really act, and this was the way to do it. But she was worried about what Marshall would say about it. Also, what if Chad didn't even want her intruding on his show?

"Would you want me?" Sonny asked quietly.

Chad took Sonny's hands and traced circles with his thumbs. She looked him in the eyes and almost felt her knees buckle. She hoped that feeling never went away.

"Of course I do, Sonny," he said. "I just think you should sleep on it; make sure you make the right decision. This is a big decision."

Sonny nodded. Chad was right; she had to think about it some more. There was no need to decide right then and there what she wanted to do. But no doubt would she lose sleep over it.

Chad leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "I know you'll make the right choice. You always do. Especially in guys, if I do say so myself." He winked and Sonny rolled her eyes.

Then she sighed. She had a lot of thinking to do.

Oh, how I adore sequels. Do you adore sequels? Do you adore this sequel? If you do, I'd like to know *cough* REVIEW! *cough*
