This one's short but due to the content I think it seems fitting.

Zoezora - Well, I suppose that's why Tawni did that, I mean, that's the reason she told me, so...and as to the reviews, don't worry about it...though it makes me smile every time I see a review email ;)

One thing to say about this chapter: ;-) *whistles WoWP theme*

So, uh...a lot of people put disclaimers in their stories...while I feel it's been quite apparent I don't own SwaC or any of its characters, I'm just gonna state it right here so...yeah...no one sue me...
However Vivi, Bonnie, Bonnie, Crystal, Sally, Jack, Pete, Gabe and Janna belong to me :)

Chad

Three days left of December. Maybe I would plan a special date for Sonny and myself to ring in the New Year?

"…and Mackenzie, if it means I have to spend the rest of my life without you, I don't think I could do it."

I gazed longingly at the blue sofa we had recently moved into the room. Could we not just wrap this up? I needed some Chad time!

I looked deep into my costar's eyes, imagining they belonged to Sonny. "Penelope, take this chance," I said, taking her hands in my own. "I'll be waiting. Right here. When you get back…to the Falls. Alright, let's break…we've been at this forever."

All the actors slouched into their casual positions, some (cough, cough…Chastity…cough, cough) texting before anyone had seen them take out their phones. I walked off the set and tried to be casual in looking about the room, as if I expected Sonny to be there.

I felt so naked without my phone. After Vivi called me it had died, and now it was spazzing out and I couldn't get a new one until February. So now I suppose we'd have to do our conversing face-to-face, which was perfectly fine with me, except for the fact that being with Sonny drastically decreases the percentage of vocabulary in my mental word bank.

I decided to sit and rest my important legs, which had been supporting me all rehearsal and would need to continue to be functional when we were going to shoot this. Before I could entirely zone out, I felt a piece of stiff fabric cover my eyes and constrict, loosening slightly as the culprit finished tying the bandana around my head. I heard a giggle.

"You little imp," I said mischievously, grabbing back for her hands to no avail. "And here I thought you'd be mad when I didn't call you. Which I have a perfect explanation for—"

Obviously she needed no apology, because a pair of soft lips cut me off. Wow, she was in a cheery mood today! She giggled shortly as I kissed her back, my hands wrapping themselves tightly around her.

Every emotion she had ever had seemed to pour right into me, making me grip her tighter. She wriggled a moment and was on my lap, legs straddling me. She placed her hands on my chest and pushed me backwards. Why didn't we kiss like this more often?

Then something just below her lips touched mine. Round, small, cold and smooth—I ceased immediately. "Sonny, please tell me you decided to get your lip pierced…" I said, her lips still close enough to mine to feel her breath. I got a facefull of damaged hair as she evidently turned her head and sighed. I took of my blindfold, desperately hoping I had not kissing the very girl who was standing right in front of me.

Vivi's eyes locked with mine. "I knew it. I knew she was the reason you didn't want to come with us."

"No, Vivi, that's not the reason," I insisted, adjusting myself so that I was now supported by my elbows. "Sonny and I weren't even dating. Look…not that you're not a fabulous kisser, but I wish we hadn't."

Her eyes flickered briefly over my head and then focused back on me. "Come on, just admit you like it."

I hesitated, but nodded. "Well, yeah…"

"Kiss me again, just one more time. We don't have to tell anyone." She came closer to my face again, slowly moving her hands down my chest and at my sides. "Please, Chain…you want to. I can see it."

I sighed. "Alright. But you have to swear not to tell Sonny or anyone she hangs out with."

Please, I am only a man.
