Demi's PoV
Tonight was gonna be AMAZING! Not only did I have my best friends with me, we were about to help my new best friend become friends with my old best friend. To be honest Sel was trying to make them more than friends but I think they should become friends first because Chad has had his heart broken before and we don't want that again because it breaks him down completely.
It was 6:45 pm meaning I had 15 minutes before they would come so I decided to go on Sketchfu (A/N Sketchfu is a website where you draw stuff, sorry if don't know what it is!) and do some doodling. Also check on nushie896's ( AN That's me!) cos she was my cyber best friend! She was the only one who knew my real identity on Sketchfu. Oh look I have a personal message from nushie896:

dem- dems =]
"Hey who called you Dem-Dems? Only I can!" called out a blonde haired boy known as one of my best friend, Sterling.
"How did you get in?" I asked until I realized he had a key as well. Mum, Dad and Dallas, my little sister, are on a trip around the world so Selena and Sterling sometime stay over.
"So you ready for phase 1 of the plan? I mean knowing you, you don't really like messing around with other people's lives. And I know that you don't accidentally want to ruin someone as full of sunshine as Sonny cos she could become the opposite of her name, which would be really bad for everyone. She makes everyone happy and smile!" he asked slash stated but then it hit me- how did he know what Sonny was like?
" Sterling, how do you know Sonny's personality? Ok sure you could see that from So Random! but you have to know her to know that."
Just before he was about to answer, there was a knock on the door. I ran up to it hoping it was everyone since i was soooo excited! And was I right. Sel had goneround Alli's, Tiff's, Tawni's and the boys' to pick them up and most the Falls came by themselves. I lead them to my large bedroom, and by large I meant massive! I told my parents I don't need a big room, but they weren't going to listen to me. Finally, it's come to some use!
"Since everyones here, lets talk about the plan!" Selena said. Soon there was a knock at the door. "Guys, act natural, I think it's them" I whispered.
Sonny's PoV
I was at Demi's mansion - wow was it huge! My friends back in Wisconsin would be jealous of me! Everyone there are HUGE fans!Just as I was about to open the door, I heard a distant voice that I, unfortunately, recognised.
"Hair, check and wow do I look good?" God, is it just me or is his ego growing every second? Yep it's his ego. But sometimes he has those sweet moments, you know just between me and him which makes me look at him in a different point of view... urgh what's happening to me? I think about him too much! "Fashionably late - check, I'm ready for Demi's sleepover!" I sighed loud enough for him to hear to say 'shut up - no one cares' .
"Munroe"
"Cooper"
" What are you doing late? Are you trying to be like me, trying to be fashionably late - not that you are fashionable." I tried to hold my laughter in as I replied by saying
" Actually, you're not actually late, you're fashionably early!" His face was shocked, as if someone went upto a toddler and said 'I stole your teddy'. Whilst gasping for air, I knocked at the door. Slowly, the door opened revealing Demi in a really cute bright yellow tube top and long black leggings. For shoes, she had some silver flats.
" Hey guys! You two come together?" she asked.
"NO!" we shouted in unison.
"Ok, no need to shout! Come on in." All it took was one step in and I was amazed. I felt as if I was in a palace. The walls were painted cream, filled with pictures of Demi and her family. There were spotlight lights and a huge chandelier in the middle.
" Come on lets go to my bedroom, that's where everyone is." We headed towards her room. Her room was really nice. She had really soft carpet, her walls were also cream and it was massive! above her bed was her name Demi is the type of lettering Tawni has (A.N. I think Tawni has it above her mirror...I can't remember!) above her mirror. There was a big door leading upto a massive balcony. It was any teenager's perfect bedroom!
"Hey guys!" I said smiling. I could hear people saying "Hey Sonny" " Hey there" "Hi Sonny" but there was one unique answer
"Hey there Insane!" Wait, could it be? Never, I haven't talked to him in ages. I turned round to see that blonde haired boy that I remembered playing with when I was 13.
"Oh my god, Strange- what are you doing here? " I exclaimed whilst hugging Sterling.
Chad's PoV
Why am I having the urge to punch him? Because you're jealous. Pfft, me? Jealous? As if. Chad Dylan Cooper never gets jealous. He does when it comes to Sonny. Stop kidding yourself, you know you like her. Arrgh, shush! But ow does Sterling know Sonny? Looking around, I realised that I wasn't the only one who was confuzzled. Yeah, that's right, I say confuzzled! Soon enough, Sonny realised it and then said
" Me and Sterling met at a acting and music camp in Wisconsin. We also met the JoBros we met we all instantly became best friends. Then we randomly gave each other nicknames. I was Insane, Sterling was Strange, Nick was Serious, Kevin was Random and Joe was Crazy" She explained. All around, people were nodding but Demi looked lost at the mention of Joe. It got me thinking - what happened between Joe and Demi that caused them to break up?
Sonny's PoV
" You in contact with them at the moment?" Sterling asked.
" Well, if Kevin texting me about armadillos feeding him chocolate pudding, Nick texting me song lyrics and Joe just randomly texting me about his life and stuff is being in contact with them, then yeah!" I smiled. But then I saw Demi lost in thoughts, her eyes filled with tears. I could sense what the problem was - Joe. I nudged Selena to say 'change the topic'.I knew Selena would get the mesage and change the topic.
"So let's talk about the reason we are all here- Talent Showdown. Basically we all have to work as a team to give an amazing performance. So it's not all about singing or dancing, you can design the outfits, choreograph and lots more. But first we need to know who will be the best at singing, so to decide, we have karaoke!" she said. Everyone was quarreling about who should sing first then Tawni had to shout my name out and everyone just had to agree.
"Fine! I'll sing...Lala Land by Demi" The lights dimmed out with a spotlight on me. Then, the music started.
I am confident, but I still have my moments
Baby, that's just me
I'm not a supermodel, I still eat McDonald's
Baby, that's just me
Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything, because of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well, everything's the same in the La La Land machine
Machine, machine
Who said I can't wear my Converse with my dress?
Well baby, that's just me
Who said I can't be single and have to go out and mingle
Baby, that's not me, no, no
Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything, because of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well, everything's the same in the La La Land
Tell me do you feel the way I feel
'Cause nothing else is real in the La La Land appeal
Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything, because of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well, everything's the same in the La La Land machine
Well, I'm not gonna change in the La La Land machine
I will stay the same in the La La Land
Machine, machine, machine
I won't change anything in my life
(I won't change anything in my life)
I'm staying myself tonight
(I'm staying myself tonight)
I finished singing and everyone was cheering and shouting! It made me feel really good, even though my heart was racing! I was shouting thank yous as if I was performing at a concert- they were acting like a real crowd at a concert, so why not? For some reason my eyes were searching for Chad. That reason is that you love him. No I don't. Sure you keep believing that. Maybe, I will keep believing that. Fine. Fine. I'm not Chad.
" Hello... knock knock...anyone in there?" I came out of Sonny Land and back to reality, finding that one person I was looking for.
" What do you want Chad? " I answered back in the usual tone I use with Chad.
"Nothing. I just came to say that you're not that bad at singing," Aww, Chad was being sweet, that's the Chad I liked and occasionally got along with," except I can sing so much better." Oh he did not just say that!
Chad's PoV
Uh oh! What did I just do? Knowing Sonny, she'll make me sing next in front of everyone, and she's got that face that tells me she's gonna say ' Oh no, you didn't just say that' in 5, 4 , 3, 2, 1
" Oh no, you didn't just say that. Oh, you shouldn't have said that cuz you know what I'll do, I mean what I'll make you do." I gulped. This was a side of Sonny you wouldn't want to see, honestly. She only showed this side when someone insults something really close to her. She almost let this side out to James Conroy, but she didn't so it seems music is really, really close to her.
" I..I'm...s-sorry.." I stuttered. Wait, Chad Dylan Cooper does not stutter. But Chad does. Good point, and at the moment I'm Chad, just Chad.
" Well, that's not going to be enough, EVERYBODY CHAD'S GOING TO SING!" Oh no. I knew it. The truth is I'm not that good of a singer, well at least I don't think I am, and I've never been comfortable showing others.
"Urrm...I'm going to sing a song from my brother's movie. I'll sing Hero." I might as well do a song that I actually knew really well since I wrote it, but no one will ever know.
"Chad, Hero is from StarStruck, right?" Tawni asked. I nodded.
"So, Hero is sang by Christopher Wilde, and Christopher was played by...Sterling. So you're trying to say that, Sterling" Sonny pointed to Sterling, "is your brother?" she completed whilst pointing to me.
"Yes" I said plainly. But I wish I had caught the moment after I said that on video! It was classic! Some people did a spit take, some people were choking and Sonny was just standing there staring at me, her mouth wide open in shock. I had to take advantage of this moment and slowly creep off into a different room.
Sonny's PoV
I was in major shock. I meant, my best friend not telling me that he had a brother called Chad Dylan Cooper, my nemesis [AN When someone says nemesis, I just remember Phineas and Ferb!] , well nemesis might be a bit too strong, maybe enemy...no, frenemy. In the corner of my eye, I could see a blonde trying to sneak off.
"Chad Dylan Cooper! It's your turn to sing!" I shouted, stifling a laugh at the sight of him jumping! Reluctantly he walked up to the mic and the lights dimmed. In his hands was a beautiful guitar – wait, he plays guitar? Wow, that's so not Chad, well atleast not Chad Dylan Cooper, the 'greatest actor of our generation', note sarcasm.
I'm no superman
I can't take your hand
And fly you anywhere
You want to go (yeah)From this moment, my eyes met his, and they instantly locked.
I can't read your mind

Throughout the whole song, we just gazed into each other's eyes. His deep blue eyes made me melt. I felt that I could just stand there forever, as if his eyes could quench my thirst, satisfy my hunger. But I returned back to reality when everyone cheered him on. Soon after Tawni, Penelope and Chloe sang and no one knew what to do.
"What about watching a movie?" I suggested. Everyone agreed and Demi went over to her shelves.
"Ok guys, I have a few movies, they're not new but they're something. I have High School Musical 1, 2 and 3, Derby Stallion and 17 Again. What do you want to watch?" I laughed internally. Chad despised Zac Efron and now he had to watch him!
"But Demi, why do you have movies that star Zac Efron? You know that us brothers don't like him." Chad said.
" Hey, he's a great way to get on your nerves! I'm not a big crazy fan of him, anyway, I like these movies- they're amazing!" Demi stated in defence. I thought it was time to settle things
" Guys, if we watch 17 Again, we will also watch Sterling so it won't be that bad." Fortunately, everyone agreed. Demi, Selena and I ordered the pizza, made the popcorn and got the drinks, whilst the others fixed the room. Once we had everything, we walked in to Demi's room and found it completely changed. All the furniture was in the other room except for the bed, the sofa and some bean bags. They also had another mattress, which was smaller, in front of the bed and there were big, fluffy cushions everywhere. We placed the pizzas and bowls of popcorn and served the drinks. The lights dimmed and the movie started. I sat on the white leather sofa with a big pink cushion and put my legs on the sofa. The film was amazing. It was the first time I watched it. But we had rehearsals today so we were quite tired, or we could have stayed awake until 3 in the morning. We got our sleeping area ready and so many just fell asleep. Except me. Just so many things happened today and my mind had to process them. I lay there for an hour or two, then I decided I needed some air. Picking up a guitar, I made my way to the balcony. Making myself comfortable on the bench, I started strumming and singing 'I Miss You' by Miley Cyrus.
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la-aa
I miss you
A tear fell down my cheek. I felt a reassuring arm around me which made me feel like electricity was running through my veins, it felt amazing. I looked to see who it was that's touch had the power to make me feel really good when I've just been sad. Chad. I must have woken him up.
"Oh Chad, did I wake you up? I'm sorry." I whispered in case I woke anyone else up.
"Oh no, I was awake anyway. I brought us some food." He shoved the plate towards me, to say eat some. I smiled, it was sweet of him to bring food. Unfortunately, I was stuffed, however, it was such a kind gesture so I forcefully ate some. Neither of us talked, creating silence between us, not an awkward silence, a comfortable silence. But Chad decided to break it with a question.
" Sonny, when I said I was better than you at singing, well music as a whole, why did you act like that? I mean you didn't act like that with James Conroy when you found out he was a jerk and you taught him a lesson, so I was wondering why. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I thought about that incident, maybe I shouldn't have acted that way with him. But I don't really want to tell him why. But he deserves to know why you acted like that, and they say telling someone something makes you feel better. That is true, I'll tell him.
" I'm really sorry, I overreacted. It's just music is connected to something really special to me, my sister." My fingers rubbed my silver heart locket. " My sister, whose name was Allysa but we called her Ally, was 6 years older than me and she was everything to me. I loved her even more than my parents. She's the one who taught me everything I know, she helped me through everything. From being bullied, boy trouble to homework. She also taught me how to sing and play the guitar and the piano. She'd always have time for me and music. Ally always wanted to be in the music industry, I always wanted to be on Broadway cause I loved to sing, dance and act. But then when I was 10, my sister was diagnosed with cancer and her case was serious. So on her last day, her last words to me 'I'm not gone, I'm always in your heart and in the music you play' and she gave me this necklace", I took my necklace off and held it in my hand, "and it says 'Sonshine, I'm with you, forever and always' and on the other side it says 'Listen to the music in your heart'. So when you said that you're better, i felt that you were offending my sister when you weren't, and I guess it was cause I had never told anyone, at all. When I was little, I'd cry all night and put on a smile that was fake but would fool anyone with it. Not even my parents could see the hurt in my eyes." Thousands and tears started to stream down as I broke into sobs. I cried into Chad's shirt, and I think he didn't mind. After a bit, I calmed down.
"I'm really sorry, I've never let my feelings out in front of anyone. Always kept them bottled up inside me." I explained. He just gave a genuine smile.
" I know how it feels to lose someone you love." I was astonished. Chad had gone through something like me?
" Chad, do you want to talk about it ?"
Chad's PoV
I wasn't sure, but since she opened up something as big as that, I felt that I had to. I nodded my head to answer.
" When I was about 10, I feel deeply in love with a girl named Ashley. She was the popular one and Sterling and Demi hated her. She's exactly like I am now in girl form. And one day she flirted with me and I got the courage to ask her out. I never thought she'd have said yes. What I never noticed was she was using me, making me do her homework, carry her bags and, well all her work. Then one day Sterling and Demi came upto me telling me that Ashley was cheating on me, using me. I didn't believe them at the time when I should have. A month with me and those guys not talking with each other passed when I saw Ashley kissing another boy. When I faced her to talk about how much i loved her and stuff, she just said I was a good for nothing, a loser. After that, I was completely heartbroken, and I guess that's what I am today." I started crying and after I had stopped, I found Sonny asleep. She looked so innocent, however there was something different- a good different, which made her look even more cute. Stupid cute. Gently picking her up, I carried her, bridal style, to where she was sleeping and tucked her in. I muttered under my breath
"Good night Sonshine"
