This is one of my favorite Chapters too! It's pretty much the start of all the action! - There is a lot more of Chad so I hope you enjoy it! PS Please Review and let me know what you think! Thanks

Chad entered the set of So Random and made his way to the prop house.

He was wearing sunglasses, a grey hoody, and some unrecognizable pants that he grabbed from Chris' bag.

He crept in as quietly and quickly as he could.

Closing the door behind him he heard a girl's voice… "Well, Well, Well, what have we here?"

Chad turned to see Tawni as she slide down the big metal slide.

"Tawni?… How are you?" he said pasting a smile to his face.

"Great! Oh, no wait… I had to come into work on my day off because my sister saw some weirdo jumping around our studio!"

Chad paused for a moment "Wow, that is terrible!"

He looked around for a minute "So you came over here to find some guy who was creeping around the set, all by yourself ?"

Tawni laughed "No I'm not that dumb! I brought my vicious Gazelle with me", she pointed to her yappy little Chihuahua.

"And my pepper spray" she grabbed a big can of hairspray.

"Seriously?"

She gave him a cocky look "FYI: It's extra acidic to increase body!"

Chad was impressed "Oh, maybe I should try some of that let me see it"

Chad reached out for the can hoping this conversation might distract from the obvious question at hand (It did not)

Crossing her arms and glaring she asked "What are you doing here Chad Dylan Cooper?" her looked demanded a response.

"Well… I needed a costume." he said matter-of-factly

Tawni wasn't satisfied, so he continued

" I am going to a friends' friend's costume party…. at my friends…."

She gave him a stupid look "And exactly which friend's- friend's friend is it?"

"Uhh… you know what just give me a costume!" He tried to be as authoritative as possible but he knew that the random set was the last place he could ever expect to hold authority.

Tawni's next look leaned more toward a challenge "Excuse me?"

Chad decided he had no ground here to stand on.

He tried to think of another excuse but quite frankly he was tired of thinking up excuses, hiding behind bushes, and letting his cousin date his girl!

Chad put his hands to his head in frustration then finally surrendered "You know what… Fine!…My cousin came into town to fill in for me … (His words were so fast Tawni could barely make them out)… at the Falls, then I thought Sonny wasn't gonna come- and she did and he asked- and she went and now she's with him and... I cant even go out!"

He looked up at Tawni expecting a look of disbelief and pity but instead was met with a tilted head and a confused stare.

"Look" Chad said annoyed "My cousin looks just like me, so Sonny thinks he' is me. So she keeps going out with him thinking it's me but it's not me!… And he's a big fat jerk!"

Chad finished with a strong breath as if he had just ran a marathon.

"Oh, my goodness!" Tawni gasped as she drew her hand to her chest in horror.

"You mean Sonny is going out with a big fat jerk when she thinks she is going out with a little scrawny one?"

Chad just leaned back and gave her an obnoxious glare.

Tawni burst into laughter amused at her own wit.

"Tawni! I need to go help Sonny but if anybody sees two of me walking around, Mr. Condor is going to know I wasn't at work and I'm gonna get fired."

Tawni raised her eyebrows insinuating she wouldn't mind that too much.

"Tawni" Chad said with all the seriousness he could muster.

"I need your he… hel…." Chad closed his eyes trying to force out the word… "I need your help!" He snapped it out before his pride could catch it.

Tawni smirked and spitefully sang "What's the magic word?"

Chad glared at her and shook his head. "PLEASE" he said smugly with an annoyed look.

Tawni smiled widely and enjoyed that brief moment of humility Chad had to suffer through.

Finally she waved him on "let's see what I can do!"

She smiled and strutted toward the dressing room.

Chad rolled his eyes and unwillingly followed.

The time until Sonny's grand date was passing very slowly for her.

She had been prancing around the house for what seemed like hours.

She had spent all afternoon trying to find the perfect hair style, the right kind of makeup to accent her best features, and even took 20 minutes just figuring out what nail polish to use. Finally Sonny felt as though she looked just right for what she was sure would be the best night ever!

"Tawni." The voice came from the dressing room as Chad poked his head out.

"I don't know about this"

"It's fine!"

Chad walked out of the dressing room wearing a pair of yellow over-alls with a yellow shirt underneath and an odd brown coloring at the bottom.

"I feel like I look like a banana!" Chad said with a annoyed and look on his face.

Tawni held back a grin "No, you don't look like a banana" she said in baby talk.

She grabbed a yellow curved hat with a brown tip and snapped it on Chad's head, then spinning him around to the mirror she smirked

"NOW you look like a banana!"

She burst into laughter!

Chad's jaw dropped as he saw a giant banana with his head pasted on it.

"Tawni!" Chad yelled.

"Oh!… And the flap pops out of the leg to finish off the curve!"

Chad threw an angry stare at Tawni, as she burst into laughter again.

"Tawni!" but taking another look at himself made him laugh too.

"Just go get something for me to wear."

"Ok, Ok" She said and trying to compose herself she ran back to the wardrobe department.

Chad rolled his eyes and headed back to the dressing room.

Sonny was still daydreaming when Chad arrived at the door.

She dashed over to answer.

There he stood again with an even bigger bouquet of flowers than ever before!

Sonny's face lit up as did her heart at the sight of Chad and the beautiful arrangement he had purchased for her.

He was dressed in his finest ensemble, she knew he only wore this on special occasions.

Chris threw her another of his dashing smiles, which Sonny gladly returned even bigger and brighter than his.

At this point she had forgotten all about allowing Chad to control the conversation.-No, her excitement had given her mouth absolute permission to run away with itself.

"Well, are you ready to go?" he laughed trying to fit the question in-between her talking.

Sonny bit her lip in an attempt to quiet herself.

She replied with a big grin. "Sorry…I'm just really excited!"

She grabbed her coat. "I just need to grab some last minute things from my dressing room" She gave him a flirty wink.

She went skipping down the hall still talking up a storm.

Chris loved the flirty smile, but was growing impatient of the chatter.

He shut the door and followed behind her.

"This should be interesting" He mumbled to himself as he quickened his pace to catch up to the enthusiastic brunette.
