A/N: I would like to thank sonnycentral, for this chapter, because I decided to start out using one of her stories.
Thanks, sonnycentral, this chapter is dedicated to you!

Day One
Chad
Chloe was smearing some goo across my face.
"What is that?" I asked.
"I don't know." She giggled.
She ruffled my hair up.
"Why are we doing this?" I asked.
"For the story that Tawni picked." Chloe giggled once more, spreading some powder on my face.
I rolled my eyes.
"I just love doing makeup!" God, her giggling was making me want to punch someone.
"What is the story about?" I asked, impatiently.
"You'll see. PENELOPE!" She shouted.
Penelope came running around the corner to the makeup chair that I was sitting in.
"I can't find a way to make his eye stop sparkling." Chloe whined.
Penelope grabbed my face and surveyed it.
"I'll have to go tell Nico to fix the lighting so it will work." Penelope said, running back where she came from.
Chloe continued with her work.
This was getting a little out of hand.
Sure, Sonny and I had made plenty of bets before, but everyone was getting into this one, and it's making me wonder...
No, they couldn't be planning something, could they?
They would- Oh. No.
Blondie.
She's got a plot.
To ruin my career I knew it!
I'm just going to have to make sure she doesn't do that...
Sonny
Tawni applied the blush to my cheeks as I took a deep breath.
She was going crazy over this stupid bet.
"Are you done yet?" I asked annoyed.
"Almost." She said.
"When do we get to know what we're acting out?" I asked.
"Soon." She smiled.
"Tawni, what exactly did you pick?" I asked.
"You'll have to just wait and see." She laughed.
"Fine." I huffed, laying my back down on my chair.
This is going to be a long ten days...
Chad
I memorized my lines in the story that had been printed out easily.
Remember, I'm me.
It was called "Love Sick" and it was written by sonnycentral.
It was very well written, and seemed very in character.
How the heck do they know what our lives are like?
Are we being secretly caught on camera.
Me and Sonny were sitting beside each other practicing the lines.
Penelope came by.
"You guys ready? You have your lines memorized. I do."
"You're not even in the story." I said, giving her a look.
"Portlyn is though." Sonny said.
"Well, since Portlyn got fired I'm playing her, okay?" Penelope shouted as she ran away "crying."
"She's very defensive about her roles." I said with a shrug.
Sonny just looked down.
Grady came running up to us.
"Guys, you're starting in five minutes! Get to your places!" He said running right by.
Sonny and I got up.
"They're sure going to a lot of trouble, aren't they?" Sonny asked, not meeting my eyes.
"Yup." I responded.
"We should get going." She said.
"Uh huh." I responded and we walked to where we were supposed to be.
Tawni
Devon adjusted his video camera in his hand.
"You're filming this?" I asked him.
"Of course." He laughed.
"You're not going to put it up on the internet like it really happened are you?" Sonny whined from across the room.
"No. We just want it for the bet." Devon yelled back, then mouthed, 'Yes we are!' to me.
'Places people, places!" Said Trevor, who was directing the scenes."And, Love Sick, scene one, take one, and ACTION!"
Sonny went out side of the door.
Chloe walked in front of the camera holding a sign that said 'Day One. Love Sick.' across it in unkempt handwriting.
Sonny came in on cue in a quite convincing huff.
"Where is Chad Dylan Cooper?" She asked, faking anger.
"I think he's in his dressing room." Penelope said as Portlyn. "He's sick or something."
Sonny smiled. "Thanks."
She ran off to the direction Chad's dressing room would be.
"CUT!" Trevor yelled."Take five people, that was great!"
Devon and I watched the footage again.
"Wait until we get the Channy moments." I smiled.
"What is Channy?" Devon asked giving me an odd look.
"Never mind." I shook me head.
Sonny
We were doing scene three.
Devon looked at his camera and him and Tawni smiled at each other.
I wonder if they like each other, they'd be cute together,
I'd have to work on that after this stupid bet.
Devon had already taped scene two, when I went into Chad's dressing room, now we were going to start where the story gets more interesting.
"Love Sick, Scene three, take one and ACTION!"
Devon pressed a button on his camera, and I looked at Chad, who was pretending to be asleep.
He was looking peaceful on purpose, and really sweet, no Sonny! Get your lines.
"Wake-wake up, Chad!" I said.
I then cursed myself for forgetting the line.
"CUT!" Trevor said.
"Can you get the lines right now, Sonny?" Trevor asked.
I nodded and bit my lip.
"Alright. Love Sick, scene three take two and ACTION!"
"Wake up, Chad!" I recited the line perfectly.
Chad sat up quickly, looking at me, since I was standing right over him.
'Don't look at me, I'm hideous!" He said, covering his face behind his pillow with a smile.
Yeah, right, like Chad could ever be hideous.
Focus, Sonny! Focus!
"Yeah right." I reached over and pretended to try and grab the pillow from him, but made it look like his grip was tight.
I wonder if he works out...
No, the script Sonny, stick to the script!
"Sonny leave." He begged, making his voice sound hoarse.
Man, he could act! I wonder if he took lessons when he was little- right the story!
"Not until you apologize." I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
"For what?" He asked from behind the pillow.
"For your latest blog entry." I said, then took a piece of paper out and pretended to read what it said on it, but it was blank. "Hey Peeps CDC here, just wanted to let you know that we've wrapped up filming on The Chad Dylan Cooper Story, so be sure to watch it. Remember how I told you about Sonny kissing me at the Arcadia? Now, she jumped on me and kissed me against my will while we were filming. Can you believe this girl? She totally wants me. But can you blame her?" I looked back to Chad, "What is that Chad?" I asked, raising my voice. "You know that was Selena that jumped on you. And it probably wasn't against your will."
The scene replayed in Sonny's head, how did these people know this stuff?
Chad didn't respond, then he began fake sneezing (very realistically, I might add) making it look uncontrolled as I grabbed the pillow away from him.
"You're right! You do look hideous!" I said, feigning in horror.
Chloe had done a really good job with his makeup, and the lighting Nico set up made Chad's eye sparkle-less.
Not that Chad could ever look hideous.
"I know!" He said, trying to hide his face.
"Yeah. Not even your one eye is sparkling today!" I said, adding a fake chuckle.
"Leave, Monroe. I can't put up with you today; I'm sick." He said in a whiny voice.
"Not until you apologize." I responded.
"Fine, I'm sowwy." he said.
I started laughing uncontrollably.
I fell over as the pain doubled up in my stomach.
I don't know, but something about hearing him say those words, and like that, just got me.
"Cut, cut, cut!" Trevor said. "Bart!" Bart came up and handed Trevor a microphone. "What is wrong?" He said through the odd device.
After a few minutes I stopped laughing.
"Okay. I can do this." I said, letting out one last chuckle.
"Alright, let's start off from Chad's last line. Love Sick scene three take three. Action!"
"I'm sowwy."
This time I held it together, just adding one small laugh.
"Chad, you're so pathetically sick."
"I know." Chad said, topping it off with a sigh.
"So I gotta ask, why did you post that blog." I said sitting beside him gently.
"Because, Selena said that's what you would have done, so I just embellished it a bit." He responded.
"That is so not what I would have done!" I said in a screechy voice, hitting him on the head with the pillow in my arms.
"Ow! Now my head hurts even worse-thanks." He said, his voice dripping with fake sarcasm.
"I'm sorry, Chad, but you know that's not what really would have happened. Selena probably just wanted to kiss you." I said, making sure my voice detected jealousy.
Selena..Selena.. I should call her! She might be able to help with this bet!
Right, stay focused!
"Can't say I blame her. But I didn't want to kiss her." Chad said, and I almost noticed him wink at me, like the lines really did express what he was thinking, but it was most likely my imagination run wild.
"Yeah right." I huffed.
"I am right. Not that I would have wanted it, but I'd much rather kiss you than Selena."
I found myself actually blushing.
They're just lines, in no way are they true!
"Well, thanks, I think." I said, staying with the lines, trying not to meet his eyes.
Even when they sparkle they're adorable.
Snap out of it, Sonny!
"Now can you please leave, I feel terrible." Chad said, snapping me back into reality.
"Do you want me to stay here and take care of you?" I asked sweetly.
"I am pretty weak!" He said in a whiny voice.
I fought back a laugh.
Even though he was acting, I've never seen him so- needy.
"Have you been drinking lots of liquids?" I asked.
"Uh, maybe a little."
"What feels bad?" I asked.
"Everything." He moaned.
Even Tawni didn't whine this much when she was sick.
Which makes me wonder, what's Chad like when he's sick?
I bet he's treated wonderfully and is served and-the script, Sonny! The script!
"Really, Chad?" I asked.
'Well, my head hurts, I'm stuffed up, my stomach feels nauseous, and my hair is messed up."
"First of all, your hair has nothing to do with this. Do you have any medicine?" I asked.
"No."
"I'll be back." I said, standing up calmly to leave.
"Where are you going?" His voice sounded nasally.
"I promise I'll be back." I responded, exiting through the door.
I heard Trevor yell "Cut! Great! People!" from inside the room and I went back inside.
This was actually kind of.. fun.
Well, aside from the fact that my head is filled with Chad, but that's just because of the script, right?
God, I hope so.
Chad
I sat on the couch in the 'Chad's dressing room set' while I waited.
Sonny was with Devon, Tawni, and Trevor filming a few scenes that didn't involve me.
What kind of person doesn't involve me in any scene?
I shook my head.
"Are you in love with her yet?" Chloe said sitting beside me, Penelope sitting on the other side.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said.
"Sure you don't." Penelope said getting up, not meeting my eyes with hers.
"Whatever." Chloe responded and they left me to ponder (yes I use the word ponder! I'm Chad Dylan Cooper, I can use any word I want) what they said.
----
"Action!" Trevor called as Sonny dashed into the set.
I was standing, pretending to be all weak.
Yeah right. Me? Weak? As if.
"Chad, are you okay?" She asked with a worried voice.
Man she was a pretty good actress.
She set the items in her hands on the table and rushed over to me.
"Yeah I just wanted to strecth; I've been lying on that couch all day. Then I felt a little dizzy..." I pretended to be falling over into her arms.
She shifted her weight and pretended to try and lift me, then pushed me to the couch.
"You scared me." She said, putting a hand on me, helping me get comfortable again.
I shivered at her touch.
I mean, it was in the script and all, but that wasn't acting. Wow.
"Do you have chills?" She asked.
"Uh, yeah a little." I said.
"I got you some soup." She smiled and grabbed a bowl and brought it over to me.
"Thanks." I smiled. "But I think I'm too weak to lift the spoon." I said with a whine.
That was something that I would do...
Sonny rolled her eyes.
"Fine I'll feed you."
She lifted the spoon to my mouth.
I almost gagged.
Penelope must have cooked this.
Stay on top, CDC. You don't want to miss the lines like Sonny.
"But I hope that If I was ever sick, you'd do the same for me." She added.
I smiled back, feeling a flush come to my face, thinking of what would happen if she got sick.
Of course I would take care of her!
Why wouldn't I?
She would do this for me too, I bet...
Stay on track!
"Yeah, I think I would."
We taped me eating about half of the soup (which was hell, let me tell you!) and then Sonny put the rest in the refrigerator.
"What's all that stuff for?" I asked.
"Well I got you some sprite." She said twisting the lid off and pouring it into a glass filled with ice. "It will help settle your stomach."
"Here's some medicine to help with the pain and your nose." She said, tossing me two to take.
It was fake medicine, of course, since they didn't want me getting sick.
I popped it in my mouth.
"And I got a thermometer; we need to take your temperature. If it doesn't go down soon you need to see a doctor."
"Maybe you shouldn't be in comedy, you should be like on E.R. or something." I said.
Hah.
That was funny, and I would say that.
I bet Sonny would look hot in a nurses outfit.
Okay what am I saying?
Stick to the lines, Cooper!
"Well I like to help people; especially ones I care about." She said, bringing me out of my day dreams.
Sonny bit her lip.
"So you care about me?" I smirked.
"Just open your mouth." She said placing the thermometer in.
"Lift your tongue." Sonny commanded.
"Why don't you make me?" I said, making it sound like I was joking playfully.
"Fine, if you're going to be stubborn, then I'm leaving." Sonny said, already on her feet.
I tugged at her hand.
"Please don't go," I begged.
Sonny looked into my eyes.
I wanted to kiss her right then, but I'd lose, so I couldn't.
"Oh, alright. But you have to work with me here." Sonny said putting the thermometer in with ease.
"99.2" Sonny said, placing the thermometer under water to clean it.
"Is that bad? Am I deathly ill?" I asked, faking naive-ness.
Sonny looked like she was fighting back a laugh.
"No, Chad, you're just a little sick. You probably just need rest and fluids and you'll be fine."
---
They taped us watching TV together and then Sonny got up, as if she was leaving to go back and work at "So Random!" for a rehearsal or something.
"Well, I have to go to rehearsal." She said.
There you go.
"Oh." I said faking sadness, I might be sad if she left, but she'd be coming back for the next bet tomorrow.
Wait. This is the acting.
Damn it. It felt so real there.
"Wait, Sonny, you know I really am sorry about the blog. Maybe that's just what I wanted to happen." I nodded. "Just like at Arcadia; I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get a real kiss."
"Really?" Sonny asked, looking stunned.
"So I was wondering," I continued, "do you ever think I'll get a real one from you?"
"Maybe." Sonny blushed.
Sonny ran over to the sink and wet her hands with some water.
She walked over to me, where I was on the couch and tousled my hair with the water.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"Well, you were worried about your hair, so I fixed it for you. Besides, you looked like you needed to cool off- your face is a lot redder than before." She teased.
"Um, that's because of the fever." I replied.
"Sure it is." She said, her voice laced with sarcasm.
She feebly bent down and kissed me on the forehead.
"Feel better, Chad." She said as she was again on her way to the door.
"That wasn't much of a real kiss." I remarked.
"Yeah, well I don't want to get sick. Besides, you're hideous." She said as she gave me a sly wink and left the room.
"CUT!" Trevor called.
"That was so real!" Tawni said.
"Yeah." I replied, touching my forehead.
Sonny's lips still burned there.
But it felt good, and I wanted more.
I knew this was going to turn out bad!
Tawni
We got the scenes all put together.
It was hilarious.
We all watched laughing, while Sonny and Chad blushed in the back.
"Wait a minute. Chad, did you actually have a blog that had that stuff on it?" Sonny asked turning to the blond beside her.
"Umm..." He replied.
"CHAD. DYLAN. COOPER!" She yelled, chasing him out of the room.
We all heard Chad's screams and doubled over and laughter.
Maybe more than just Sonny and Chad can benefit from this...
