A/N: Once again: Wow. I don't really know what to say other than, well, thank you. Guys…as cheesy as it sounds, I really do love you all for reviewing!!! And for participating in my character building, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks to…shouldbeonbroadway, utmy123, Avatarfanx2, LittleRedOne, Alyssa4Music4Life, Oddball15, volley07, lucasgirl33, Shizuku Tsukishima749, xSherraMP3, UndeniablyMe, Serendipity545, ChocolatexChicaxCasey95, RandomlysmuRfy, smiles4smiles, FasttalkingInsanity, Ch3eSuS'x, ukranianmira, MidnightThief15, Emmybear ox, kittycat090, XDPurpleTiggersXD, CricketTheNeonOwl, Mel-lovesong4, eragon23860, howlsatthemoon, MusicalSoul3000, 817, faerietaleredux, Oo lovetoday oO, xScribbles819, Maiqu, xxxIhEaRtDaNcExxx, WolfxAngel, and raven-shadowsong3 for reviewing!!! Also thanks to everyone who may review in the future! ^_^
(I wanted to mention you guys because I didn't get around to replying to all of you, and I felt horrible for that. I'm so, so, sorry. Hopefully "public" declarations of thanks, helps? Haha, thanks again!)
And a HUGE thanks to these two individuals… volley07, and Serendipity545. Their characters have been selected to appear in this story of mine, and if you're wondering why it's because they went above and beyond my expectations, and their creative personality descriptions far out-weighed any physical ones. Thank you all for lending me your creative wisdom, and if it turns out I need tiny roles I'll definitely hit one of you guys up, but I hope you'll enjoy my adaptation of volley's Fern Michael's and Serendipity's Elizabeth Faye Carter.
And now, because this note is getting RIDICULOUSLY long, I hope you all enjoy this next chapter! :D

"Elizabeth, right?"
After leaving Chad, Sonny had decided that nothing was going to change. She had merely spazzed out for a few minutes. Chad Dylan Cooper did not effect her in any way, shape, or form. He was her co-worker. Not a potential boyfriend. And she was just going to have to deal with that. Luckily, helping Laia's cousin move in would most definitely take her mind off of the stud-ly actor.
Sonny's new roommate, tall and fit, looked down at the petite brunette. "Yup. Elizabeth Carter, at your service. To what do I owe the pleasure?" She winked at Sonny and then took off her Converse, holding them in her hand, unsure of where to put them.
Sonny smiled and pointed to the closet behind her. "That's for shoes. Your room's across from mine, just down the hall. Kitchen's over here, living room over there. Everything else is in between. And this," Sonny held up her hand, "is your new key. Welcome, roomie."
Elizabeth grinned and reached for the key. "This is going to be great! I mean, at first I was a little apprehensive, seeing as how you're this big-shot actress and all."
"Me? Bigshot? As if!" Sonny almost died from laughing so hard, but Elizabeth wasn't joining in. Sonny stopped abruptly. "I'm not!"
"Who are you trying to kid? You or me?" Elizabeth headed over to the living area, plopping down on the sofa. "You do realize that you're Sonny Munroe, right? Girl who stole the hearts of comedic fans all over the globe? And now you're starring in your first movie and directors everywhere want you to be a part of their films. I mean just today I went into an audition and all I kept hearing was, 'No, hun. Do it like Sonny would. Be Fiona, not this freakishly tall chick from some distant galaxy.'"
Sonny blushed and stood awkwardly across from her new roomate, running a hand through her hair. Sonny was certain she'd never adjust to her new life, at least not completely. "I'm really not all that amazing - I just...act."
Elizabeth jumped up from her sitting position, surprising Sonny. "Exactly! It's just something you do! Like breathing!" Elizabeth continued to rant, embarrasing Sonny even further. When she finally noticed that her big-shot roomate was inching away slowly, she said, "Uh, sorry...I tend to do that a lot."
"Go off on a crazy tangent?"
"Well, yes...but no. I was going to say that I have a knack for making people feel awkward and uncomfortable. But on the plus side I make a great manicotti!"
Sonny blinked. "That's, um, great?"
Elizabeth laughed. "Oh, Sonny. You're cuter than a button, yes you are."
To herself, Sonny muttered, "Since when are buttons cute?"
"Okay, so I'm going to go unpack my stuff, and maybe we could go out tonight for dinner...? Unless you have other plans, I mean."
Elizabeth was really sweet and sincere, in her own, slightly odd way, but Sonny really enjoyed her. She had character. "Of course. Just holler when you're done, and in the mean time I'm going to go practice some of my lines."
"Sounds good to me." Elizabeth then crossed the living room and made her way down the hall.
As soon as Sonny heard the door shut her mind was invaded once more by thoughts of her co-star, Chad Dylan Cooper. Chad Dylan Cooper does not matter in real life. Chad Dylan Cooper does not matter in real life. Chad Dylan Cooper does not matter in real life. Sonny continued the mental mantra for a few minutes before sitting down with her script. Aloud, she spoke, "Oliver, I feel as if no one is on our side. You and me - we're never going to get their approval. Face it, Ollie. Fate is against us."
Oliver: "It doesn't matter."
Melanie: "It does matter! Everything matters! How can you sit here and act as if everything's going to be okay!? NOTHING is okay, Ollie! Nothing is going to change!"
Oliver: "Why are you trying so hard to end things? The truth, Mel, is that you don't care about what everyone else thinks. You're just scared."
Melanie: "Oh, right. That makes perfect sense. I'm scared. Scared of what?"
Oliver: "You're scared that maybe, just maybe, you and me can have what we want."
Melanie: "I already have you! Why should I be scared?"
Oliver: "You're not scared of holding on, Mel. You have me, I'm yours. You're scared that in the end, we'll lose each other."
Melanie: "This is bullshit!"
Oliver: "Melanie!"
Melanie: "Don't 'Melanie' me! This - this us - it's bullshit."
Oliver: "So our love means nothing to you?"
Melanie: "Oh, shut up, Ollie. You know it does. It means everything."
Oliver: "Then why are we even having this conversation?"
Melanie: "I don't know? Because we're fulfilling our high school destiny? You know - first we break up, then we make up. It's a vicious cycle, I tell you."
Oliver: "Melanie...shut up and let me kiss you."
Melanie: "Now wait just a minu - oh. That was nice."
Oliver: "Good, now this time, stop talking entirely. I want to enjoy this."
Sonny stopped reading the script and sighed. Brushing back her hair, she turned to look out of her window, to watch as heavy rain began to fall down. "Where the heck is my Oliver?" she mumbled.
Thunder and lightning answered her question. Sonny rested her head against the sofa. "I don't know if that was a good sign or a bad omen, but thanks almighty rain gods. Now, for your next trick could you please make my one true love appear?" She closed her eyes.
The doorbell rang.
Brown orbs fluttered open. "Huh. Well. That was fast."
Due to the malfunction that swept around our lovely website, this post was extremely delayed. Even though it was totally not my fault (;D) I just want to say I'm sorry! It sucks when stuff like that happens.
Anyhow. Poll time!
Would you rather Pyro update this particular story with longer chapters, but fewer updates, or the same sized chapters with regular, more frequent updates? Tell me, kiddies! I must know soon! :D
