i.

Sonny Monroe likes to make people happy. The only time she ever made anyone cry was when she was six years old, and a boy named Sam Woods elbowed her in the mouth by accident, knocking out her first wiggly tooth. Her immediate instinct was to stomp on his foot, so she did. He cried and she cried and they both felt so guilty afterwards that he poured her drinks out of her juice box and into a cup for her for two weeks because she couldn't drink through a straw, and she vowed never to injure someone else ever again. She's done very well with that pact, and held it to this day. The only exception is Chad Dylan Cooper, who is seemingly fun to abuse.

ii.

When she sees Tawni sitting in a bald cap, crying, she can't help but laugh a little bit. One, Tawni is in a bald cap! Two, she likes when Tawni cries, because it makes her realize Tawni isn't perfect, and is just as human as everyone else.

iii.

The only times she has ever truly been star struck is the first time Tawni walked in to the prop room, when Chad introduced himself, and when she spilt her drink on Kate Hudson at a Lakers game.

The funny thing is she really doesn't like basketball, and the prop room isn't that special once you get use to it.

iv.

She had a dream once that she was dressed as a fairy, and flew around the world as she fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, before landing in a motel and drinking a 7-Eleven slurpie with Jay Leno while discussing the importance of solar powered farms.

She has never figured out quite what it means, and gets extremely irritated when she realizes she probably never will.

v.

The first time she met Chad Dylan Cooper, she couldn't help but sequel like a crazy, obsessed fan girl, and love him just a little bit. Yes, she admits, she use to think he was 'Chadalicous' and might've said 'OhMyCDC!' a couple times and maybe even owned every single season of 'Mackenzie Falls' up until season three. She thought he was possibly the best thing since life spread, and there he was standing right in front of her. Her heart stopped, and her stomach swirled, and then he had to go and open his mouth.

vi.

She hasn't bought a season of 'Mackenzie Falls' on DVD since, and has almost broken her addiction completely. Almost.

vii.

Sonny can never understand why Zora does the things, or says the things, that Zora does. She doesn't understand why Zora crawls around in vents, or why Zora feels the need to fling lunch meat at people, or what Zora's thinking about when that devious smirk crosses her face. The thing Sonny least understands is when Zora's face grows into a certain panicked, angered, nervous, and protective glare, claiming that Chad is looking at Sonny in 'that way again'. Sonny doesn't understand what 'that way again' is, and it certainly isn't descriptive, so it really doesn't describe how Chad is looking at her very well at all, even though the rest of her cast mates seem to understand.

viii.

When she was four years old, her father left her mother and herself. She never figured out why. She still remembers the last time they talked to each other. He came into kiss her goodnight, sitting down on her bed, and she crawled onto his lap. The normal routine. Her daddy told her he loved her, and goodnight, and her mom came in afterwards to hear her prayers (like always), and both her parents stood at the door smiling. She remembers the next morning she woke up early for no reason. She snuck to the top of the stairs, and peered down, and waved and smiled at her daddy, who returned the gesture, and then told her to go back to sleep. She shook her head no, and stumbled down the stairs as her daddy went out the door towards the car for work. She clung to his leg, and he rubbed her head, as she cried she didn't want him to go. He smiled at her, and asked her if he didn't leave how would he be able to buy her toys. She let go after that, and they shared another kiss to the cheek. She never saw her daddy again, and she always thinks it's her fault, because if she would've begged a little more and not wanted that new doll so badly maybe, just maybe, he would've stayed.

ix.

The first time Sonny did something really bad to the 'Mackenzie Falls' cast (or anyone really) is when she snuck in (with help from Zora), in all black (courtesy of Tawni), and stole the new script the 'Falls' cast had been working on for the season finale as revenge for them for egging their studio when they walked outside for lunch. As scripts mysteriously began to disappear, the 'Falls' cast went into immediate panic. Sonny found it enjoyable. But there was one person who kept his cool persona, and didn't really care.

Chad knows Sonny and her cast mates from 'Chuckle City' steal the scripts. Sonny knows Chad knows that she does too. But neither of them cares, and it just continues, because they both know well enough by now they won't get the other to admit it. Sure it's a strange system, but it works for them.

x.

Sonny hated her name. She hated the way people said it, and how the last syllable of her first name rhymed with the first syllable of her last name, and how ordinary it was. She didn't like the nicknames that came from it either. Her second cousin twice removed (or something like that) met her at a family reunion, and called her Sonny. It immediately caught on with her family, and she started to use it as her regular name. She secretly hates it. It's better than Alison, but it still reminds her of the weather, or a mood, or a boy's nickname, or a tutoring center.

xi.

Sonny remembers bits and pieces of her deceased Grandmother. She remembers her singing voice, and her soft but callused hands teaching Sonny to play guitar, and the taste of her cookies that she would fix late at night, and her laughter. Sonny tries and tries, but can't remember what her grandmother really looks like. All she remembers are laugh lines and shining white hair which Sonny sees in pictures. Ever since her Grandmother's passing, she takes pictures of everything. Then she'll never forget again.

xii.

When she was seven, she came home from her school's career day, and asked her mother where her daddy was. At first, her mother's face paled, and eyes glazed. Sonny just looked at her mother, immediately regretting asking the question, and started to walk out of the room. Then, her mother picked her up, and sat her on her lap. She told her everything, and that's when Sonny finally realized her daddy was never coming back. Both of them sat there and cried and cried. Sure, it was hard, and their shirts were ruined, and their eyes were puffy, but everyone has to cry sometimes. And it made the nightmares and guilt feel so much better.

xiii.

There were only several things Sonny was scared of. There were hospitals, and bees, and Tawni's temper tantrums (which was a new found fear), and cancer, and fire (which she shared a love/hate relationship with). But she'll admit, nothing beat was scary then getting on that plane and flying all the way to Hollywood. She wasn't scared of planes, or too scared of Hollywood for that matter. But, she was scared what would happen when she got there. What if no one liked her? What if she was out casted? Or made fun of? What if it turned into being Middle School all over again? Yes, Sonny certainly had a reason to be afraid.

xiv.

Sonny's favorite number is fifteen. She couldn't tell you why if she tried. Maybe it's because it's the day of her birthday (15th of April, and don't forget it), or the age she started a new life of being in Hollywood, or because the absolute bane of her existence happens to have fifteen letters in his name. She doesn't know really. Her favorite day of the week was Wednesday. Wednesday was unnoticed, and exhausting, and relieving, and everything in between. So when it was Wednesday, the 15th of July, and it was raining warm rain (her favorite type of weather) she decided it had to be the best day. She put on her favorite yellow dress (in which yellow happens to be her favorite color), and walked into the studio with a smile. But, soon Sonny found this day to be not so lucky. She forgot her lines, and missed lunch, and spilt coffee all down her dress, and Chad wasn't even there to abuse when she purposely went over to his set just to annoy him, and then missed her ride home. She realized this was the official worst day ever. That's when it started lightening while she sat on the curb. Now it was officially the official worst day ever. No questions. So, when she saw it fast approaching, she completely expected Chad Dylan Cooper to ride by in his fancy car (which seemed to appear out of nowhere), and splash her with a puddle. The only thing that made it worse than that is he actually pulled over. Thinking he was going to shoot so witty retort, she angrily told him she wasn't in the mood. He scoffed, and said he was only offering her a ride home. Surprised, she thanked him (swallowing her pride) and got in his car, soaking wet. She immediately was hit by the aroma of leather and honey, and of course his signature cologne/deodorant scent. She could't help but inhale a deep breath. And then, after a Beatles CD (who would've guessed he likes the classics), a couple of stories (his parents don't really talk to him), they reach her house. Sonny starts to realize maybe this day isn't so bad, and after saying goodnight, she leans over and kisses his cheek on impulse.

xv.

She spends the next fifteen hours wondering which one was more confused by her gesture, and staring at the Chad Dylan Cooper posters she never bothered to take down off her ceiling after she met him.

xvi.

The next day, Sonny decides her favorite number is sixteen.

Hope you liked it. Some of it was weird... Tell me your favorite! And some of them are based off my life… Guess which ones?

And sorry if there are any mistakes.

Anyway, review? Please? They make me happy :) And the button is a pretty green color…
