I am so sorry for not finishing this chapter sooner! I've been really busy lately. Please forgive me and take these virtual brownies that I made for you *offers brownies*

Some of you have commented that you would like to see a chapter about present day Chad and Sonny. I am planning on having chapters that take place in the present, but not for awhile. My plan with this story is to create the background of both Chad and Sonny and then write about when they meet each other and fall in love and such. I am sorry if that is not what you want, but that is how the story is going to go. It is going to pick up after this, though. The next chapter will take place a couple of years from this chapter.

Ok, I don't own blah, blah, blah. Enjoy the chapter!

"Ok, that's a wrap!" Emmett Garrend called loudly from his seat in the director's chair. Chad breathed a sigh of relief and hurried off the set. It had been his first time being the main character on the show, and, truth be told, he was rather intimidated by the idea. He was stopped by a large hand gripping his shoulder.

"Mr. Goldfarb!" Emmett bellowing voice caused Chad to wince, but he turned around to look at his director. He was surprised to see a smile on the man's face. "Excellent job today. You might be the best yet." That was all that Emmett said. He removed his hand from Chad's shoulders and purposely strolled away. Chad stood staring at him with his mouth gaping open. He had never seen Emmett compliment anyone.

Tawni Hart had seen the whole exchange, and she ran over to Chad as soon as Emmett had left the room. She threw her arms around Chad and planted a kiss on his cheek. He wiggled out of her arms and lifted a hand to wipe off his cheek.

"What was that for, Tawni?" She just giggled and hugged him again.

"I just wanted to give you a hug. And I wanted to tell you that you did a good job being my boyfriend on the show today. I thought the kiss went really good. Don't you? I also wanted to ask if you wanted to come over to my house tomorrow to watch a movie. Mommy says that I can-" Here she was cut off by the entrance of Tammi Hart.

"Tawni! It is time to go. I have a hair appointment in half an hour, and it won't do for us to be late." She walked off, clicking her heels against the floor as she went. Tawni gave Chad one last hug.

"Bye, Goose!" Tawni flipped her blonde hair and casually wiggled her fingers at Chad in a friendly wave before following her mom out the studio door. Chad groaned and slapped his hand against his forehead. Ever since the kiss scene, Tawni had been all weird and giggly. He began to wish that he hadn't teased her about the scene.

It had all been in fun, of course. Chad could tell that she was nervous about having to kiss him, so he had tried to lighten the mood. Actually, that wasn't entirely true. He had been nervous as well, so he had decided to tease Tawni to make himself feel better.

Unfortunately, the plan had backfired on him. Now, Tawni was calling him "Goose" and insisting that he call her "Duck Duck." He thought that it was all very silly. After all, he was all of six years old, and he shouldn't be being called "Goose." Actually he found the whole thing to be rather silly. He hadn't had any problem with the kiss. It was almost as if Tawni had fallen in love with him.

He shook his head and hurried to gather up his things into a backpack. Mom would be at the studio shortly to pick him up, and she hated when he was late making out to the parking lot. He slipped his backpack on and hurried out the door.

Wendy Cooper was waiting for her son with a smile on her face. She knew that it had been his first day as a main character on The Goody Gang, and she was anxious to hear about it. Her smile faded a bit when she saw the irritated look on his face. She waited until he was buckled in until she asked what had gone wrong,

"Hi Sweetie! How did things go today?" Wendy couldn't bring herself to ask her son how work had gone. It was still hard for her to realize that her six-year-old had a career. Chad stared at his lap for a minute. Wendy frowned, "Did something go wrong today, sweetheart?" He slowly nodded his blonde head.

"Kinda." Wendy waited for him to continue. "Mom, I think that Tawni thinks that I'm her boyfriend. I don't wanna be her boyfriend. She keeps hugging me and calling me 'Goose.' Now, she wants me to call her 'Duck Duck.' Mom, it's really annoying! I don't even like her!"

Wendy had to stifle a laugh. Someday, Chad would probably be wanting girls to swoon over him, but she was content to let him stay in the "girls have cooties" phase for awhile longer. She composed herself and gave him a sympathetic smile,

"I'm sorry, sweetie. It sounds like Tawni has a bit of a crush on you, but-" She was interrupted by her son's angry cry,

"Not a bit of a crush, Mom. She acts like she's in love with me. She does this weird hair flippy thing and waves really funny. I don't want her to be in love with me. The only girl who is allowed to fall in love with me is Sonny. 'Member, Mom? We're gonna get married and have a cake made of icing." He made a sound that sounded like "humph" and crossed his arms. "And I'm not gonna invite Tawni to our wedding. I don't like her at all, and 'sides, she might throw icing at Sonny."

This time, Wendy couldn't hold back her laugh. She tried to hide it, and it came out as a snort. Chad gave her a funny look.

"Are you ok, Mom?"

"Yes, sweetheart. I just, uh, had something caught in my throat."

"Oh, ok. Mom?" Wendy glanced into the rear view mirror to look at her son.

"What is it?"

"What would you do? I mean, if you had a boy like you who wasn't Daddy. How would you take care of that?" Wendy was speechless for a moment. She had no idea how to respond to such a question. Chad looked at her expectantly.

"Well, sweetie, um..." She trailed off, unable to come up with a good answer. "Um, I would..." An idea came to her at that moment, "I would make sure that your Daddy knew that I didn't like the other boy- man- back. That way, Daddy wouldn't be upset and he could help me take care of it." Chad seemed to accept her answer. He didn't say anything for the rest of the ride home.

Wendy didn't mind the silence. It seemed strange for her to hear her so talking about getting married. Plus, it was hard for her to talk to Chad about his Daddy. Brian had managed to sell their house in Illinois, but he hadn't found a job in LA, so he had moved in with his brother's family and was continuing at his job. It was almost easier to not think about him.

Chad started talking the minute that they arrived at their apartment. He had been thinking about his mom's answer the whole way home and had formed an idea. Wendy barely had time to put the car into park before she was startled by her son's excited shout.

"Mommy! I've got the best idea! I can write Sonny a letter and 'splain about the kiss. Then, she will know that I don't like Tawni, and that I still want to marry her. Oh, and I want you to write down what I say. That way, it will be a better letter since my writing isn't good yet." Wendy frowned and felt the need to

"Sweetheart, we don't have her address. You can't mail her a letter." This news didn't even bother Chad.

"I know that, Mom. But I can write it just the same. That way, if I ever do find out her address, I can send it to her." He gave his mom a pleading look. "Please, Mom? I really want to do this." Wendy gave in to his smile and dancing blue eyes.

"Alright, son. Go find a piece of paper and meet me in the kitchen." She laid her purse down and went to go sit at the kitchen table. Chad joined her in a minute with a slightly wrinkled, slightly smudged piece of paper.

"Ok, Mom. You need to write down exactly what I say. That's what Sonny did in her letter." Wendy nodded and took the offered piece of paper. For the next half hour, she wrote down what Chad had to say to Sonny. The letter covered almost the entire sheet of paper,

Dear Sonny,

I wanted to explain something to you. Today, on The Goody Gang, I got kissed by Tawni. I didn't want her to kiss me. If I could have had you there to kiss me, it would have been lots better. Maybe you can be an actor someday. I mean an actress. Mom just told me that girls are actresses, not actors. I hope that you become an actress someday. Then, I can kiss you instead of Tawni.

I wish that you were here to help me. Tawni keeps giving me hugs and calling me "Goose." Isn't that a silly name? And she gave me this weird wave. She just wiggled her fingers. That is a stupid kind of wave isn't it? Oops. Mom said I can't use the word stupid. Dumb. Dad said that dumb is an ok word. Tawni has a really dumb wave. I hope that you don't have a wave like that.

I promise not to invite Tawni to our wedding. I don't want her to through icing at you. Plus, she might try to kiss me and that would be really bad.

I hope that you aren't sad about the kiss. I promise that I didn't mean it. You are still who I want to marry someday. Ok, Mom says her hand is getting tired.

Chad signed the letter with Love, Chad. He took the letter from his mom and ran to his room. Once there, he took out the folder that held the other letter to Sonny. He placed a sloppy kiss on the piece of paper and then put in in the folder with the other letter.

Suddenly, he felt a lot better.

Sorry about the long author's note. I just wanted to clear a few things up :)

You know the drill: please review! Your reviews are why I write, and the more reviews, the faster I write the chapter :D
