Disclaimer: I do not own SWAC... And if I did, I would totally get all those life-sized cardboard cutouts of CDC during the episode when he celebrated his birthday, and put it up all over my room. *fangirl scream*

"I wonder what the cast asked me to come here for…" Sonny thought as she walked toward the prop house.

Sonny heard a loud mooing sound. She retrieved her phone from her pocket, pressed the Answer key, then placed it against her ear.

"Where are you?" the voice on the other line shrieked.

"I'm at the studios Tawni. I'll be there in 15 seconds…" Sonny walked faster.

"10…" Sonny broke into a sprint.

"5…" Sonny slowed down to a jog.

"And I'm here." Sonny waved at Tawni before pausing to catch her breath. She pressed the End Call button as she realized that she was still on the phone with the person in front of her. Tawni was outside the prop house door, waiting for her.

"It's about time, I've been waiting here for 5 minutes, and I need to refresh my CocoMochaCoco lipgloss," Tawni exclaimed. She sighed an exasperated sigh, then pulled something out of her pocket.

"Aw Tawni, you didn't have to get me anything," gushed Sonny, thinking that Tawni was revealing a gift for her.

"What are you talking about?" Tawni pulled out a bandanna and tied it over Sonny's eyes.

"Hey, what gives?" Sonny asked, taken by surprise.

"Just shut up and follow me." Tawni led Sonny around in circles before leading her inside the prop house.

"Uhh, Tawni, where are we?" Sonny asked, confused by the unfamiliar directions that they have taken.

"You'll find out soon enough," Tawni answered.

Sonny heard some whispering, followed by Tawni, giggling. "Okay Sonny, you can take off the bandanna now."

Sonny blinked and squinted, her eyes adjusting to the bright lights after taking off the bandanna.

"Surprise! Happy birthday Sonny!" the So Random cast greeted. The prop house was decorated with streamers and balloons. A big blue banner which says "Happy 18th birthday Sonny!" hung near the photo booth.

"Aww… You guys did all of this for me?" Sonny said, touched by her cast mates' gesture.

"Wait Sonny, there's more," said Zora. Nico and Grady brought to Sonny a big box wrapped in blue paper.

"Open it!" they said in unison.

"Well, pff, okay, if you say so." Excited, Sonny tore the wrapper. She lifted the box's lid and gasped at the content.

"Oh my gosh! It's Blarmie the blanket with arms! Thank you guys! You are so awesome!" She hugged each one of them.

Tawni's phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and answered, "Tawni here… Yeah, yeah… Okay, wait." The cast looked strangely at her as she hurriedly walked out of the room.

Nico, Grady, and Zora exchanged glances. Sonny caught the exchange, and said "What was that about?"

"What was what about?" Zora innocently asked.

"Those looks that you were giving to one another," Sonny answered.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Zora shrugged.

Sonny, still suspicious, raised an eyebrow.

Tawni returned after five minutes. Walking in, she suddenly winked at Nico.

"Hey, why don't we all go get some Fro-Yo's?" Nico offered.

"Sounds good…" the cast mumbled.

They all left the prop house and went to the cafeteria.

Upon arrival, Sonny noticed that the cafeteria was dark and lit only by small candles at the table in the middle of the cafeteria.

"Now why is the cafeteria so dark?" Sonny thought aloud.

Suddenly, all the lights were turned on. Sonny saw that the candles were actually 18 birthday candles on 18 chocolate cupcakes. Each cupcake had a letter on it, and when put together, spelled H-A-P-P-Y-B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y-S-O-N-N-Y.

Sonny, overcame by emotions, turned to her cast mates and said "Aww, you guys did this for me?"

She was about to pull them into a group hug when Tawni answered, "No… But they did," pointing to some people behind Sonny who came out of hiding.

Sonny quickly turned around and nearly collided into Chad.

"Chad, what --" Sonny was cut off by Chad's index finger against her lips.

"Shh… The time for talking's over…" Chad paused, then slowly showed a smile before continuing. "…Because it's time to blow your candles!" He enthusiastically pulled her towards the table with the cupcakes.

Other Mackenzie Falls cast stood around the table looking bored. They were then joined by the So Random cast, and they gathered around the table.

Out of the blue, Portlyn piped up. "Whose birthday is it? Is it mine? Oooohh, cake!" She eagerly reached for the candle and accidentally touched the flame. "Ow!" she winced.

Chad rolled his eyes at her. The rest of the people in the room sang the Happy Birthday song.

Sonny closed her eyes, made a wish, then extinguished all her candles in a single blow.

"Looks like your wish will come true. What did you wish for?" Chad asked.

"Well, if I tell you, it won't come true," Sonny slyly answered.

Everyone, Chad and Sonny included, grabbed a cupcake and lined up at the yogurt machine to get some Fro-Yo with it.

Sonny and Chad stood by the cupcake table and ate in silence. Chad, however, was the first to break the silence. "So am I considered invited to your tonight?" Chad asked.

Sonny lifted her spoon and opened her mouth as if to protest, then she seems to think otherwise. She sighed dejectedly.

"Sure, why not… You were never not invited anyway," Sonny answered.

"With paparazzi, 'kay?" Chad winked at her.

"NO PAPARAZZI," Sonny retorted.

"Relax Munroe, I was only kidding," Chad said apologetically.

"Please Chad… Don't be a jerkthrob on my birthday," Sonny said, looking straight into his clear blue eyes.

Chad held her gaze for a second before he smirked.

"Well," Chad said as he reached under the table. "Would a jerk give you something like this?" He pulled out a huge wrapped package that was almost as big as him.

"What is it?" Sonny asked, awestruck by the size of the package.

"Open it…" Chad offered.

Sonny excitedly tore off the wrapper.

"Oh my gosh, it's…" her excited face turned into a mix of puzzlement and disappointment, "a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Chad Dylan Cooper."

"I know! Isn't it great?" Chad asked excitedly.

Sonny raised an eyebrow at him. "Really Chad? Really?" Sonny mimicked Chad's favorite line.

Chad surprised her with a laugh. "I'm just messing with you Munroe. The real one is in your dressing room."

"Let me guess, a bigger cardboard cut-out of you…" Sonny sarcastically answered.

"Just go there and find out." Chad winked at her before she walked to her dressing room.

And that's it. :) What is Chad's real gift for Sonny? The fourth chapter is coming up soon.. :D

Please take your time to write a review. It makes writers happy. XD
