~ Chapter Two ~

Sonny grinned at her own reflection in the mirror, today was going to be her first date with Chad Dylan Cooper, and she wanted everything to be perfect. She smiled a little at the mere thought of him, she loved him so much, and she still found it hard to believe that he felt the same.

Her head shook as she thought about that kiss they had shared last night, it was possibly the best kiss she had ever had – and ever would have – and she treasured every single moment of it. She giggled a little at the thought of them both standing there, lost in each other's eyes as it rained around them. Their hair stuck to their face, mascara ran down her cheeks, and their clothes clung to their bodies. But they still loved each other – even when they looked their worst. Even if Chad had insisted that he still looked amazing even when he was soaking wet.

"Where are you going?" Tawni walked into their dressing room, raising an eyebrow at the grinning girl,

"Well..." Sonny started, unsure of how to break the 'bad' news to her fellow cast members of 'So Random!',

"Am I going to care?" Tawni looked up from her seat, filing her nails as Sonny shook her head and shrugged,

"Probably not." She muttered, looking at herself in the mirror one more time to make sure she looked great for what she hoped would be the first of many dates.

"Well if we're going to do this friend thing, then I guess you have to tell me." Tawni rolled her eyes, looking up at Sonny,

"I am going on a date if you have to know."

"With?" Tawni sighed, looking in the mirror, she had a feeling who it was and if it was him, then she knew how well – how bad – that was going to go down with herself and their other cast members.

"Chad." Sonny blushed a little, beaming at her phone when it went off, quickly texting something back to who Tawni could only assume was Chad Dylan Cooper. She rolled her eyes at the thought, she would try to be happy for the girl if she had better taste. But Sonny knew as well as she did of the rivalry between the two shows – and she was breaking all the rules just by going on a date with the potential love interest.

"He's going to break your heart." She said, standing up and touching Sonny lightly on the shoulder,

"He's going to do it, just like he has to everyone else he had ever dated. Why are you letting yourself be added to that very long list?" Sonny shook her head and smiled, a light sparkle in her eyes as she moved Tawni's hand from her shoulder,

"He loves me, he told me so." Tawni tried to hide the shock – Chad admitting he loved someone other than himself? There was a first time for everything she guessed.

"And you believe him? This is just another way of getting you on his side, and as soon as we break friends with you, he is going to break your sunny little heart into a thousand not so sunny little pieces. And then you will have nobody there to pick up the pieces." Tawni looked Sonny in the eye, shaking her head,

"Poor sunny, little Sonny." She could see the tears forming in the brunettes eyes, her own head shaking as she sparkle went out of her eyes. Tawni could feel a slight pang of guilt, shaking it off when she knew it wouldn't last long.

"I love him though." The girl muttered, her eyes not leaving the floor as a tears fell from her eyes, hitting the floor within seconds.

"And if you forget about him completely, then maybe you could get over him quicker." Tawni patted her on the back before walking back to her mirror, smiling at her own reflection, her smile fading when she saw the now crying Sonny behind her.

"I didn't mean it." She whispered,

"Just don't hate me when everyone else has a go at you, okay?" Sonny nodded, wiping away the tears as she looked down at her phone,

"He is really sweet when you get to know him." She murmured, looking through her phone to show Tawni the real Chad, the Chad she had fallen in love with a long time ago,

"Good morning my gorgeous sunshine. I can't wait to see you today, you always brighten my day. I love you, you're amazing. Forever yours, Chad." She read out, smiling at the hundreds of kisses below the message, Tawni looked up at her, the surprised evident in her eyes,

"Wow, who would have known that Chad could be nice?" Sonny smiled again, looking at her watch as her eyes grew wide,

"I am late!" She looked back in the mirror, glad she had worn waterproof mascara this time. She took one more look before shouting a goodbye to Tawni and running out, hating to be late for her first date.

Tawni shook her head, looking up at Zora as her head popped out of the vent.

"Take it you heard all of that?" She muttered, knowing it now wouldn't be too long until Grady and Nico heard. She sighed, looking down at the floor, feeling bad for the girl she had come to call a friend – although she would never admit it to anyone else.

"I can't believe she is falling for his stupid act! Chad Dylan Pooper would never love anyone other than himself, and his reflection of course." Zora shook her head, watching as Nico and Grady stormed in,

"Where is she?" Grady shouted, his arms crossed over his chest as he looked around the room,

"On her date already." Zora replied, she knew she should have text them both sooner.

"I can't believe she would do this to us! She's going to have to make a choice – us or Chad." Nico nodded, as Tawni sighed.

All hell was going to break loose.
