Finally! Its the longest chapter yet though! I hope you like it!

------------------------------------------

Chad ambled onto the Mackenzie Falls set, it was 8 AM and he wasn't looking forward to the Monday ahead. He covered his mouth as he yawned, tired from a sleepless night. He'd dreamed about Sonny, and the image he had blazing in his head was of her pushed up against the yogurt machine in the cafeteria, his legs trapping hers, him trailing kisses down her neck. Stop! He couldn't be thinking about his traitorous dreams on the set of Mackenzie Falls, it seemed to pollute it somehow. He pointed and smiled at a security guard, feeling more like himself, but then Portlyn saw him and pranced over. He groaned inwardly. She was one of the most irritating girls he knew. He put up with her though, on account of her being his co-star. Believe it or not, Chad's career was really important to him.

"Hi Chad" he waved in her general direction and searched through a plate of doughnuts, "your party was awesome last night, but those geeks from 'Chuckle City' showed up. That Sonny Monroe is such a freak." Chad just stared at her, marveling in her shallowness, then said,

"Don't use my phrase without asking me first, and I completely agree," what else was he supposed to say? "I should have never invited them in the first place."

"You invited them? Seriously? Why would you want people to know you know them?"

"I…" He stopped, what should he say? The truth? That he'd wanted Sonny to come? That he actually liked being around a genuinely good person for once, unlike the girl that stood in front of him. But he knew that even Chad Dylan Cooper couldn't stop a feud as big as the one between their two shows. He sighed and answered, "I wanted to watch their relationship with each other more closely, to see if we could try sabotaging them again."

"Oh, good thinking!" She would believe anything. He smiled, chose a pastry and made his way to his dressing room, sabotage the last thing on his mind.

-------------------------------------

A black car gleamed in the driveway of the Cooper residence. Chad stood staring, his eyes blank, a slight frown on his face. His parents had remembered his birthday on the plane over and had sent this car over as an apology. Haha, apology not accepted. He stepped slowly forward and ran his hand over the cool metal. It was a very pretty car, and his old one had been having problems lately, not that he would ever admit that to anyone. His cold anger towards his parents had developed an ice shell when he had read their note on the windshield, but now he could see the possibilities in his parents' bribery. He was always good at spotting good business opportunities.

"Come on you guys! Get off the internet!" Sonny's annoyed voice rang through the room full of clicks and random chuckles. Grady looked up at her and said,

"Who's hotter Chad Dylan Cooper or his new car?" Sonny had to smile, she knew the answer to that one in a heartbeat, Chad, but she could never say that around her friends, it was hard to admit it even to herself. She grabbed his phone and stared at the cheesy picture of Chad. Seeing his face made her think of many things at once. Ever since his party she had noticed little things about Chad, how his eyes seemed to grow sad as he turned away from you. How he seemed to be particularly annoyed at lunch when Portlyn was talking and sometimes she had even caught him watching her.

She didn't mind though, she felt like they shared a secret, a secret of a moment of understanding. He still obviously hated So Random, but he seemed to tolerate Sonny's comments and actions more so than he did before. He seemed to be grateful, but just didn't know how to show it. Could you tell that she had spent too much time thinking about that night? She had to give a comment on the blog, no matter how she really felt. The whole cast was waiting.

"He thinks he is so hot, when he is so not!" she laughed at her rhyme and tried to ignore the feeling in her chest that denied that statement.

------------------------------------

Chad drove his new car to the studio the next day, inwardly smiling at all the attention he got. He parked it in front of a Mackenzie Falls studio door, no one would tell him to move it. Also everyone had a good view from their windows. He hoped Sonny would see it, so he stood outside polishing the mirrors and things. A door opened and he looked over his shoulder. It was Portlyn, great.

"Hey Chad, great car," she sauntered over to him and leaned in to see the inside, purposely giving him a great view down her shirt. She thinks she so clever, he just rolled his eyes and said,

"Thanks."

"You know, I don't have a ride to the Oh No You Didn't awards." She scooted closer to him and started tugging at his leather jacket, he could smell her perfume, and he tried not to gag.

"Oh"

"Yeah, maybe we could go together." She smiled and gave a questioning look. He had to laugh. He didn't know where she got these ideas from; he would never go with her. He was going alone. He had decided that already.

"I'll let you know babe." She pouted her stupid pout and marched away. He laughed to himself and continued polishing. He heard the door open again and looked up. It was the blond kid from So Random, what was his name again?

"Hey Chad! How's it going over at the Falls?" Thinking of what just happened he answered with.

"Lots of drama," The guy answered with some pointless jabber, near the end he handed him some chicken wings. Chad stared at the white container. He loved wings.

"Hey thanks, I love the wings."

"I love your car!" caught off guard Chad looked up. Cool, maybe there was more he could get out of this car than just the attention, thank you Mom and Dad. He looked at the car and said,

"Ah, she's alright." but he had begun seeing the possibilities, and a smile started. The guy started talking about how he could maybe ride with him to the Oh No You Didn't awards. He didn't even think about his respond and surprise leaked into his voice.

"Me and you?" Jeez, how many offers was he gonna get? The kid talked some more and left. Chad stared at the wings, thinking, and then he heard the door, behind this time. It was the other kid from So Random, the one that was always with the blond. He handed him a pizza saying it had been a while since he got him one; he clearly wanted to ride in his car too. Chad's mind was already turning over ideas in his head by the time the guy left. He could work this to his advantage. About time someone around here spent special attention to him, especially since the one person he wanted to notice him didn't. Sonny hadn't spoken to him in weeks, not that she did before, but he thought that maybe after his party she would act different. He certainly wouldn't be the one to start being nice. Sonny had always been nice; she has an excuse. Chad, well, he had to be obnoxious and cynical, his reputation called for it.
