Sonny skipped around her apartment humming a merry tune with her new dress flowing in front of her as she held it to her chest.

All doubts of her enjoying her evening had been erased by her chance encounter with Chad at the mall.

She could see the shine had returned to his eyes and his sense of humor had not left.

As she danced around she imagined all the insults and witty banter that might make this evening an enjoyable one.

Chad's attitude at the mall encouraged her. Instead of a bunch of cheesy pick up lines she was sure he would provide a playful and entertaining evening.

Chad came barreling through the door to the sound of Chris humming a happy tune.

His melody wasn't one of 'a dream come true', as Sonny's was. He strutted around the upstairs hallway doing an obnoxious cocky dance and bellowing out some sort of 'I'm the man' tune.

This wasn't the kind of scene Chad cared to see as at that particular moment, so he made his way to the kitchen, grabbed a snack, and switched on the tv with hopes of drowning out the annoying song.

He couldn't escape it for long. Chris came swaggering down the stairs with the same prideful air about him.

"Dude, where have you been? I need your help picking out the best look for my date with my girl!" He gave a sly wink with every intention of demonstrating his swauve demeanor.

Chad could only think of how annoyed he was at his cousin for taking advantage of him in his vulnerable state. He was also annoyed with himself for ever reaching a vulnerable state. Chad Dylan Cooper was not vulnerable. Why did he have to ask his cousin for help? He knew when he called that he was just going to add to his already frustrating week. 'But, it will soon be over so just chill out' he told himself. Plus he knew his cousin was a big enough jerk to tell Mr. Condor what Chad was up to if he did not give him his way, and that was a chance Chad couldn't take.

"Chris'," he said with a fake smile. "Just go up stairs and put on whatever you want. I don't care about your clothes, you, or your stupid date!"

The smile had faded as he got to the last sentence.

"Fine! Good grief you know I do you the favor of flying all the way down here…" -There goes that guilt trip he tried to send Chad on every time he wasn't getting his way.

"GO!" Chad motioned his finger toward the stair case reaching almost his maximum annoyance.

Chris just puffed out his chest, rolled his eyes, and headed back up the stairs.

"What to wear, What to wear?" Chris asked himself. "Only the best for Chris' woman!" -This choice was definitely a decision of what would draw her to him and not what choice would let her know he cared.

Finally he spotted one of Chad's nicest suits- A sharp white shirt, a crisp striped tie, a pair of nice kaki slacks, and of course Chad's charming Mackenzie Falls blazer. As he admired himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but envy Sonny being able to be seen with such a guy as himself. Though he was pretending to be Chad, he knew that he had truly drawn her to himself and that made his head swell more and more each time he thought about it.

As he arrived at the bottom of the stairs in Chad's nicest attire, a disbelieving look crossed Chad's face.

"Dude, I thought I told you to stay low key with this girl! That is my best suit! I only wear it on the red carpet!"

Chad was growing more annoyed with every sentence. "Go…Take… it off!"

Chris only answered with a smirk and threw his jacket over his shoulder. "Yeah… I don't think so!"

Chad's eyes grew wider in anger. The nerve of this guy! After all that Chad did for him- and strongly against his own desire obviously- he had the audacity to defy this one demand.

"Excuse me?" that was about the last of his self control he was willing to lay aside.

"Do you know who you are talking too? … I am Chad Dylan Cooper… No one tells Chad Dylan Cooper no!…"('That's it'!)

"I cannot believe you!… You come in here… Run around in my town, in my car, and take out some girl using my money! You are the most self-absorbed…" Chad ranted and raved as he paced back and forth… Chris' just rolled his eyes

"Rude and conceited…pompous and annoying…"

Chris rolled his eyes again in annoyance and interrupted Chad mid sentence "Are you almost done? I gotta pick up Sonny in 15 minutes!"

"Shallow and…."

Chad froze in place! He turned around and cupped his hand to his ear to make sure he heard that right. "I'm sorry… what did you say?" His face now a mixture of anger and disbelief.

"I said 'I gotta go get Sonny!"

Chad's eyes grew even wider and his face grew bright red. "Sonny?… Sonny Munroe?… You are dating Sonny Munroe?" with every word his voice grew angrier. Chris just looked up in thought.

"I think so." he said unsure. "I didn't take that much interest in learning her last name if you know what I mean?" he threw him an arrogant wink.

Chad froze and dropped his jaw in disbelief if eyes could turn to lasers… his were definitely aimed at Chris and had been placed on over drive at the hearing of that statement!

"You… little…Punk! I forbid you to see her again!"

Chris threw back his head in laughter, "Yeah… Good One!….I think I am enjoying her a little too much to give her up that easily… besides, I'm not dating her" he smirked "You are!"

Chad paused and returned the smirk "Oh…you bet I am!"

Chad dove over the couch to snatch the jacket out of Chris' hand, but Chris jumped out of the way and left Chad rolling across the floor.

"Give me that jacket!"

"No!" Chris rounded the couch as Chad jumped to his feet.

"There is no way... I'm letting you anywhere near her!"

Chris ran into the dining room. He darted under tables and behind chairs, then they made their way to the recreation room-they jumped over and under all the game tables and flung a few balls in each others direction.

As they darted through the 'Mackenzie Hall of Fame' Chris tried tossing some of Chad's fabulous cardboard cutouts and dazzling posters at him. Chad had a worried look in his eyes as he tried to save each from hitting the floor while still making an attempt to snatch the jacket.

Chris threw anything he could at Chad in order to block him from the chase. Finally Chris dodged his way around Chad and ran through the front door. Chad ran out the door after Chris, but seeing a group of people staring, darted back in the house.

Chris peaked his head around the corner to see Chad one last time.

"Don't worry Chad, I'll take good care of her!" he said smugly with a wink!

Chad started out the door again after him

"No, No… Chad!" Chris yelled from the bottom porch step.

"You wouldn't want Sonny to figure out you were lying to her all this time, would you?"

Chad widened his eyes and shook his head in astonishment "I didn't lie to her you did!"

A repulsive grin once again appeared on Chris' face

"Did I Chad? Did I really?"He lifted his eyebrows in sarcasm.

He formed the biggest grin of all as he applied the final spread of icing, to the cake!...

"Peace out… Sucka'" He threw a peace sign and cocked his head to the side in victory. Then turned and made a quick dash for the car.

Chad's eyes grew wide in disbelief . "My catch phrase?" Chad yelled after him. "Oh.. Now, you've crossed the line!"

Chad Darted quickly to his closet and began searching for something to wear. Anything!

He had to have something he wouldn't be recognized in….

Chad's eyes widened as he jumped to the right side of his closet. "Ah Ha…perfect"

He had purchased a costume last year when the randoms invited him to a Costume party (but his pride got the best of him and he chickened out of going.)

When he grabbed his costume his countenance fell. "Ah, Man!"

He held up a "Chad Dylan Cooper look alike costume" A suit just like he wore in his earlier episodes complete with a mask and everything.

"Why do I have to love myself so much?" He said with frustration. But, giving himself one glance in the mirror, he was reminded why.

"Where can I find something to wear?"

His eyes slowly widened and he gave a slight frown- He knew of a place… a place where no one would be… a place where no one would ever think to look for him… a place with more costumes, wigs, makeup, and props than anywhere else in Hollywood…

Just the thought gave him the chills. He finally pushed the Words from his lips-

"The set of So Random".
