A/N: Here's the 2nd Chapter of Happy Birthday Sonny, as promised! In summation, this talks about Sonny's car ride with Chad, where she makes some shocking revelations. Chad, in turn, discovers more about this Random girl. What did they talk about, find out below. :D Again, Reviews are always welcome. Flames are used to boil myself a nice cup of hot chocolate.
A shout out to those who read and reviewed my 1st chapter, favorite-ed and alerted my story in less than 24 hours after it was published. Gosh, you guys are so fast... and AWESOME!!!
Disclaimer: Again, I don't own SWAC or any of its characters. And if I did own SWAC, I wouldn't be writing this. Instead, I would be making my own episodes or running away with a real CDC. Fangirl mode. hahahahaha
On the way to Condor Studios, Sonny kept on repeating Chad's words in her head. "I would never dare to hurt my baby… Was he referring to me or his car? Oh stop it Sonny. He doesn't like you, and he never will."
Chad noticed how silent Sonny is, and decided to break the silence. "Are you okay Sonny? You seem… quiet."
Interrupted from her train of thoughts, Sonny answered "Yeah, I'm fine… I'm just thinking about something."
"Like what?" Chad prompted.
"Like, what the So Random cast is giving me," answered Sonny.
"Is that all you're concerned about? Gifts? And knowing you Randoms, I think it's going to be something whacked," Chad quipped, smirking at his own joke.
"Pff. No. To tell you the truth, I'm not at all interested in material stuff," said Sonny.
"Oh… Well then what do you want for your birthday?" asked Chad.
"Well," Sonny started, "I only want three things… Peace, happiness, and love."
"Oh come on Sonny, can't you be more specific? Or concrete?" teased Chad.
"Fine," Sonny counted off her fingers. "First, I want to experience a perfect or special dance tonight… And since I don't know who the people I'm going to be dancing with are, then I'm not expecting much…" Sonny trailed off, her thoughts flying back to the perfect dance she had with Chad during the "fake prom" that she had arranged once.
Sonny shook her head vigorously as if to erase the traces of her last thought.
"Uh-huh," replied Chad.
"Next," Sonny ignored him and counted off another finger, "I want to feel Wisconsin again."
"Huh? And how, if I may ask, is that?" asked Chad.
"Well… Back in Wisconsin, every night, I go to my terrace and inhale the pine-smelling air. Then I look up at the sky and see the bright stars twinkling like small sequins placed against black velvet… And, you know, it just feels like home," Sonny described.
"So you're homesick?" Chad prodded.
"Well, not exactly. I just miss it sometimes because I'm always busy here in Hollywood," answered Sonny, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
Feeling that it's time to change the subject, Chad asked, "So what's next?"
"What's next to what?" a confused Sonny asked.
"What's the next item on your birthday wishlist?" Chad asked with amusement.
Still thinking of Wisconsin, Sonny answered nonchalantly, "You."
Chad, shocked by what Sonny said, accidentally stepped on the brakes. The car came to a screeching and sudden halt.
"W-w-what?" Chad stuttered, still shocked.
Sonny's eyes widened as she realized what she had just said.
"Uh, what I meant was, uh, for you to, uh, I wish that you'd, uh, uhm… Dr-r-rive up faster… be…cause, um, I'm gonna be late, and pfff, you know Tawni, she's gonna be really mad if, um, I don't get there in ten minutes." Her face fell, and she glanced at her hands, blushing from embarrassment.
"Shut up Sonny before you look like a total doofus in front of Chad," she thought.
"Okay Sonny, if you say so." Chad smirked as he slowly stepped on the gas pedal and sped off.
"What's that smirk for? Wipe it off!" Sonny exclaimed, though she felt more annoyed at her last answer than at Chad's smirk.
"Oh nothing… So what else is on your wishlist?" Chad pretended to be really concentrated on his driving in order to avoid smirking.
"That's all," answered Sonny.
"What? You don't like things like a new car, or a new phone? And as I recall, your old phone was crushed by the disposal bin last month, and the one that you're using now, well, it's Jurassic!" Chad exclaimed.
Sonny smiled at the memory of that night. "I told you Chad, I'm not much into material stuff."
"Well, supposedly, if you wanted something material, what would you want?" Chad asked.
"Hmm…" Sonny thought aloud. "Maybe another Blarmie the blanket with arms since the first one was destroyed by Tawni, or a huge stuffed teddy bear, since I haven't had one of those ever… But they're kinda expensive so I'm not really expecting any of that stuff."
"You don't want any of those typical girl stuff like jewelry, or clothes, or perfume, or makeup?"
"Oh, I already have enough clothes and jewelry, like this favorite blue top of mine. I'm kind of allergic to perfume, and I don't really need more makeup than I already have. Besides, those things are Tawni's forte."
"You look cute in that blue top by the way," Chad silently thought.
His eyebrows knit in concentration. "How about a boyfriend?" Chad asked.
"A boyfriend's nice but hard to find. Besides, the boy I like doesn't like be back…" Sonny trailed off and looked away from Chad.
"Oh? Who is he? What is he like?" asked Chad.
"You! You! You!" Sonny's mind went. "Well, it's a secret, so I can't tell," Sonny quipped.
"Oh. Then, what is your ideal boyfriend like?" Chad pressed.
"Why are you so interested?"
"No reason. And due to the lack of a better topic," Chad answered.
"Well, I don't know. I don't have many standards. I can't tell. I guess, when I meet him, I'll just know," Sonny shrugged.
"Oh." Chad fell silent and stared ahead at the windshield. Confused and angry thoughts filled his head.
"She likes someone… But that someone does not like her. What kind of jerk can not like Sonny?" Chad's knuckles turned white as his hands gripped the steering wheel while anger filled his thoughts.
"She's a ray of sunshine for crying out loud! Hmm… Sonshine. That's a nice nickname," Chad thought.
Chad felt three gentle taps on his shoulder return him to reality. "Uhh, Chad? Earth to Chad." Sonny cut his thoughts.
"Yes Sonshine? Erm, I mean, Sonny?" Chad blushed.
"Um, you do realize that we've just passed by Condor's studio right?" Sonny flashed an amused smile.
"Did we Sonny? Did we really?" Chad joked.
"Uhh, yeah." Sonny giggled at Chad's line as he made a U-turn.
A minute later, they were at the entrance of Condor studios.
Chad parked the convertible into his usual parking space and they both got out of the car.
Sonny gave Chad a hug. "Watch it Munroe! What's the hug for?" Chad asked, surprised.
Sonny quickly pulled back and shyly said, "Thanks for the ride Chad."
"Umm… Sure thing Munroe," answered Chad.
Sonny was about to leave when she remembered something. "Oh, Chad, you don't have any filming today right? How about we grab some Fro-Yo's after this thing with the So Random cast?"
"Thanks, but I think I'll pass," Chad answered.
"Oh come on, who say's no to Fro-Yo? Come on, my treat. It's the least I could do after you drove me here," Sonny pleaded.
"Really Sonny, thanks, but I've got to take care of some stuff." He winked at her and clicked his tongue. "See you around Munroe." Chad hurriedly walked towards the Mackenzie Falls set, leaving a baffled Sonny behind.
"I wonder what he's going to do there… Oh well…" Sonny shrugged as she headed toward the prop house.
And that's it. What do you think does the Cast of So Random have for her? Find out in the next chappie. In the meantime, while you're waiting, please review this chapter. It make writers happy. :)
Ciao! xoxo Isabella Vincent
