A/N: I never, ever wanted to write, let alone post this. I'm a firm believer in not ruining or elongating something, when you feel like it's good the way it is.
So, you may ask, why the heck am I posting this? Good question, loves ;D
Lately I've been getting lots of reviews for this story, asking me to write a second chapter. And who am I to deny my readers something they wish for so adamantly? :) I love you and this is my gift to each of you for the overwhelming response you have left me for all of my stories, especially 'Best Kept Secret'.

That being said, this second installment isn't a fully fledged chapter, per se, more like a tiny bonus glimpse into a certain scene some of you wanted to see :) If you're completely repulsed by the idea of a second chapter, just ignore this and remember 'BKS' as a oneshot ;) I won't hold it against you :P

And PLEASE check out the AN at the end, lots of information about what's coming your way very, very sooooon :)

In any event, enjoy, loves :) And again: Thank you all for being so loyal and honest and amazing. I appreciate it so much!


Bonus Chapter: Answering the Dare


Marshall Pike was an understanding person, everybody would give him that.

Well, considering he was the director and executive producer of a hit comedy series, his humor might be lacking... kind of... severely. And sure, he wasn't the brightest bulb on the christmas tree. And he was easy to persuade. It was just his luck that the kids always took advantage of that. Speaking of which, he also had no luck with women.

See what he did there?

... Oh well, he actually didn't do that much, he only used the word 'luck' twice... nevermind.

The point is that Marshall Pike was usually nice and open-minded for suggestions. 'Usually' being the keyword.

"Listen, Chad. You cannot barge onto the set in the middle of a taping only to–," he shuffled nervously and ran a hand over his clammy forehead, "you know..."

"Kiss my girlfriend?"

Marshall squeaked uncomfortably and nodded in a hurried motion, "exactly. You cannot interrupt the show only to k-kiss Sonny. You hear me? I'm telling you. That's an...o-order. Yes, an order."

Chad didn't even attempt to hide his laughter, this man was funnier than he had originally given him credit for.

"Order? Oh Marshall. Funny, funny Marshall."

The blonde actor raised an eyebrow, stepped closer to the producer and smirked at him.

"I think we both know that your orders aren't half as powerful around here as you'd like them to be."

Fidgeting uncomfortably under Chad's cool, collected gaze, Marshall had no idea what to respond without admitting defeat.

"However, if you were willing to cooperate, maybe I could help you change that."

"Y-You could? I-I mean, of course you could, Chad. You're Chad after all. Chad Dylan Cooper. G-Greatest actor of your gener–"

"Bah, bah, bah, Marshall. I know. We've got no time for that, sadly. "

As if on cue, an intercom requested the cast and crew of 'So Random!' to get ready for their first sketch of the night.

"Alright, listen, I'll make you a deal."

Cold sweat started to collect around his eyebrows. Making a deal with Chad – and Marshall knew that from experience – was never a good idea.

"O-OK, Chad. But we'll have to make this quick. T-The taping's about to start and I–"

"Fine. You let me barge onto the set and make out with Sonny for a bit. Well... quite a bit actually, more like a huge bit. Say about five minutes. Breathing time doesn't count. Actually, make that–"

"N-no more, please. I think I got the point, Chad."

„A'ight."

„So."

„Soooo?"

„Aren't you forgetting something?"

"What?"

"Well, what's in it for me?"

Chad chuckled heartily and playfully smacked the producer's arm.

"Oh, you're so funny, Marshall. What's in it for you? Isn't that obvious? The hugest ratings boost since that one episode I guest starred in last season."

"O-Oh. Oh!You're right! Why didn't I think of that?"

Chad smirked at the man, patted his shoulder and led him to the set.

"I knew we'd come to an agreement, my friend."

"Friend? Oh, that's such a nice thing to say, Chad."

"You know me, Marshall. I'm a team player. Now if you'd excuse me, I have a lady to kiss."

„Oh right, well, come on. I might have just the perfect sketch for your little plan."


As much as Sonny loved her boyfriend's TV show, there wasn't a single sketch on 'So Random!' she enjoyed more than 'Mackenzie Stalls'.

„But Mackenzie! How much longer are we going to deny our feelings for each other?"

„Until I can be sure one of us isn't going to forget to flush the toilet, Chloe. I must not neglect my obligations, love. I need 'The Stalls'. And 'The Stalls' need me."

„Oh, Mack!"

Sonny put her hand over her heart and smiled exaggeratedly at 'Mackenzie'. In the meantime, Grady had taken a step towards her and reached for her free hand determinedly.

„You deserve someone who is willing to do anything to make you happy."

Sonny did what the script requested her to do, sighed dreamily and was about to respond, when from the corner of her eye, she caught someone stepping out of the second stall. Eyes widening in disbelief, the brunette's jaw dropped open and her shoulders slumped.

„Yup. She surely does. Which is exactly why I'm here, suckah!"

No. Freaking. Way.

Eyebrows raised suspiciously and both hands propped on her hips, Sonny turned towards her smug boyfriend.

"Chad?"

"M'lady."

The crowd went wild, not having expected this sudden turn of events. Oh, neither had she – or Grady for that matter.

The latter was completely overwhelmed by the situation and kept stealing glances at Marshall, waiting for directions. This was so not part of the script they had worked out three days prior to the show's taping.

"C-Chad? Sonny? Um – HUH! Would you look at that? Silly me, I left the toilet seat up! Cya later!"

The audience rumbled with laughter, as Grady escaped into the same stall Chad had just stepped out of.

"Well, well, well. Now it's just you and me, Son-nay."

"And an audience full of people. As well as millions of kids in front of the TV. Just in case you forgot, Chad-day."

"Millions of kids? HA, good one."

Sonny glared pointedly at him and crossed her arms, while Chad flushed a light shade of red and rearranged his jacket's lapels. Being nice, sweet and kind definitely took some getting used to, even for the greatest actor of his generation (especially for the greatest actor of his generation).

"Um, of course I meant: Millions of kids? That is the understatement of the year, Sonny. Try: Billions of kids! Bazillions! Chadillions!"

"Chadillions? Really, Chad? Really?"

Smiling smugly after having regained his courage, he stepped forward and pulled the girl closer to him.

"Really, Sonny. Really."

Sonny rolled her eyes, yet grinned at her boyfriend's charm and absentmindedly intertwined their hands.

"So what exactly are you doing here?"

Chad shrugged, tugged on her hand and wound his arms tightly around her waist, as she stumbled into his body.

"Just answering the dare, m'lady."

Not giving Sonny a chance to respond, he leaned down and crashed his mouth to hers. Swallowing her surprised gasp, Chad pressed small, gentle pecks to both her upper and lower lip, teasing her and willing her to relax.
Finally her rigid body melted into his, her small hands delving into his soft, blonde hair, as she returned her boyfriend's affection enthusiastically. Tuning out the crowd's excited squeals, Chad smiled against her mouth and rubbed circles on the small of her back.

Pulling away for the fraction of an inch, he gazed at Sonny and nuzzled her nose tenderly.

"I had to do it. You dared me, remember?"

"Uh-huh. Now shut up and kiss me, will you?"

"Are you daring me?"

"Will you kiss me, if I dare you?"

"Naturally."

"Then, yes, I'm daring you."

Chad smiled at his favourite girl and cupped her face tenderly, pressing his lips to hers once more.


AN: And there you are :) I hope you enjoyed this little bonus chapter and please leave your thoughts, as per usual :) Every single review is appreciated beyond words, they make my day!

Also: Please keep checking back for more stuff soon :) I'm working on a new oneshot (Channy && Taco! WOO) right now, as well as my first multi-chaptered work :) SURPRISE! It's going to be called 'Glimpses of a Good Thing' and will probably be posted either tomorrow or the day after (no promises :D you know me and my laziness.) It's not a real multi-chaptered story though, since I'm awful at updating and never ever want to leave you guys hanging. It's a series of little oneshots/drabbles (or glimpses, as I love to call them, hence the title) about Sonny and Chad's relationship after 'Falling for The Falls' :) I have always wanted to do something like that and the amazingness that was FFTF I+II definitely offered me the inspiration to do so :)

I can't wait for you guys to read it :)

Love,

Mona
