(a.k.a)
Chad, Jekyll and Hyde and their opinion of Joe Jonas.
Sonny had been texting Chad whenever she was able to reach her phone for past week. Her mom was going to kill her about the phone bill though, most of their texts had been one word only, they'd been full of ''Fine's'' and ''Good's'' but she had a permanent smile on her face.
Joe was being really nice too. He was so sweet, and there were times when he'd say something and it would be too sweet, sort of as if he liked her more than a friend and co-star. She was confused, because being in contact with Chad made her giddy, but then everyday she was portraying someone falling in love with a prince, and lately, she wasn't sure if her acting had been fully acting, if maybe she was falling for- no, stop! She wouldn't let her mind go there. No co-star dating on her watch!
She wandered on to set and saw Joe, automatically she smiled up at him.
"Hiya Random Girl"
"Morning Water Boy"
They laughed and started chatting as the crew set up.
"Sleep well?" Joe inquired.
"Not really. I think the hotel is driving me insane, it's just so… lonely at night, I feel like I'm in that movie…"
"Ah, yes, that movie… care to elaborate?"
"You know, the one… in the hotel… and two people are lonely… and sort of abandoned-"
"Lost in Translation. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson! Brilliant!"
"Yes!" Sonny cheered, high fiving, the middle Jonas Brother, "That's how I feel, lonely and abandoned spending all my night time in the hotel"
"Well go out"
"Yeah but, its embarrassing when you're the only person not doing another project, I mean you guys are alternating between this an JONAS and everyone else has other stuff, hence my abandonment!"
"Sonny, we were here last night. You could've come up"
"Yeah, you got back at one in the morning, no way was I going to rudely crash your sleep time!"
"I can't sleep after flying"
"But you fly nearly every second day Joe"
"I know, it's why I'm a part- insomniac these days" Sonny laughed with Joe as someone kindly gave them coffee as they shivered while sitting on a window sill.
"What about tonight?" He asked after a comfortable silence.
"What do you mean what about tonight?"
"What about if you went out tonight?"
"Like I said, I think I'd rather stay alone in my room rather than go outside of the room and still be alone"
"You wouldn't be alone, Sonny!" Joe encouraged, nudging her.
"Oh are you guys gonna come too?"
"Ok, Sonny, stop confusing everything. I'm going to say this and try not to blush like a fool. Tonight, would you like to go out with me, and me only, none of my brothers or any of the cast, just… us?… As friends, of course"
Sonny gulped, "Just us?" Joe nodded, then she continued, "I'd like that"
He grinned and she returned it. Then she had to run to hair and make up.
Ten minutes later, while sitting in the trailer and getting her hair styled for the 'rainy day' scene, Sonny's phone mooed. Her heart fluttered, she looked at the screen it read: One New Message: Joe J. Her heartbeat got faster. A part of her had wished it for some reason wished it were Chad, but she felt really happy as the message opened.
Oooh… on a date w/ Joe?
Sonny, you bad girl, you! -Kevin
Sonny smiled but didn't bother replying. Joe was sure to realise soon enough his brother had stolen his phone. They were in trailers which were side by side, there was no point in Sonny replying. She pocketed the phone quickly.
"Who's making you moo?" Her hairdresser, Greg, asked.
"Kevin" She sighed.
"You say that as if it's a bad thing!"
Sonny smiled, "Yeah, it's not, I guess I'm just tired"
"Sure thing hon, it is seven in the morning"
Before Sonny could reply her phone mooed again. Her heart stopped, if it was Kevin she might yell into his trailer to tell him to cut it out. It wasn't, her heart nearly beat out of her chest as her screen read: One New Message: Chad D Cooper. She quickly opened it and read:
Morning Sonshine!
Just got into stage 2 and needed your stupid humour for a pick-me-up already.
Portlyn spilled her smoothie all over my new tie!
So I'm making her character disappear until she buys me a new one!
How's life on stage wherever your filming? -CDC
Trying to hide how happy his text had made her, Sonny quickly replied:
Morning Chad! Still with the nickname I see?
Aww, poor CDC his new tie is covered in smoothie!! *note my sarcasm*
How very kind of u to only write Portlyn off rather than 2 kill her character!
Life is good, although something weird happened a while ago.
Can u tell me why ur pretending to be on set when Tawni says you're away?! -SM
Sonny put her phone away and felt like she could last the day, Chad may have needed her humour for a pick-me-up which was weird in itself and yet what was weirder was that she'd needed him as her pick-me-up.
"Now, who is that?" Greg asked.
"No one" Sonny said quickly.
"Ok, hon, I think you like this no one"
"No, Greg, I don't. So please just don't bring it up again!"
"Okay, I won't"
"Promise?"
"Promise"
Sonny's phone mooed again and it was a reply from Chad. She smiled but tried to frown so as not to tip off Greg. Chad's message read:
Always with the nickname Sonny!
I noted your sarcasm, no need 4 stupid stars!
Thanks for pointing out my kindness, I just killed her character!
Can't have people thinking CDC is nice! Yes, I hate to inform u that your Chuckle City cast r spreading lies trust me, I'm in stge 2 *note my annoyance*
What is the weird thing that happened? Something wrong?(Not that I care!) -CDC
She typed at such a speed that even if Greg was sneaking a peek he couldn't see anything, Sonny wrote:
A bit hypocritical to call the stars stupid and then use them, Chad!!
Ah, don't kill Portlyn, what I said was a typo… I meant to say… how very evil of you! Lol!
If u say so… I just heard that u were M.I.A!
Eh, I sort of, maybe, might have been asked on date by Joe J awhile ago…
As friends… but I hope it won't b awkward on set, got any advice?!
And yes, u don't care, CDC doesn't ever care, do u?! -SM
Sonny's hair was finished and she skipped out of the trailer before Greg could inquire even further. She had no idea that the last line of her text, which in her head had been meant as a joke, was being taken to heart by a certain Chad Dylan Cooper. Because he did care… about Sonny if nothing else.
-
Sonny had a great day on set. Her awkwardness with Joe vanished and they messed about whenever they had scenes together. She then had a few hours with Nick who was always great to talk to.
"So, Sonny, you're always listening to your iPod, got any new music on their?"
"Nick Jonas, asking Sonny Monroe about music, what has the world come to?"
"Ha, very funny! You know I value your opinion! You have great music, so spill, who's your new favourite?"
"Well, my favourite of the week so far, would have to be The Airborne Toxic Event, and most especially their song called Sometime Around Midnight- it's not like, a new song, but it's great, it gives me chills"
"Can I have a listen?" Nick asked eagerly. Sonny handed him her iPod and let him scroll through the artists until he found the song. After the first minute he looked at her, "I love it. So will Miley" His face froze after saying that, "I didn't mean-"
"Nick, the entire world knows you two are together and if you think after nearly seeing you everyday I haven't figured out you're in love with her? Please, go tell her, go spread more love with a song about heartbreak!" Nick chuckled at her.
"Thanks a lot Sonny, I'll call her now" And then he made off to call his girlfriend. Sonny glanced at her watch, back in Hollywood, the casts of So Random! And MacKenzie Falls would be on lunch break. Suddenly, she decided it was time to fulfil her promise to Chad. Sonny pulled her phone out of her back pocket and dialled. He answered after the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chad"
"Sonny?"
"Yeah, I figured since you'd text I should call!"
"You should call" He said smugly.
"I am calling"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Good"
"Good"
"Are we good?"
"Oh we're so good" Sonny hung up after that. What should she have expected in a phone call, they never said anything other than Good's and Fine's. For some reason unbeknownst to her, she had actually wanted a conversation with Chad Dylan Cooper. She was angry and upset at herself for thinking more would of come from the phone call. She was so caught up in everything else she was feeling, she forgot to feel surprise for actually feeling any of this in the first place. She made herself another coffee and as she was making her way to her trailer, her phone mooed.
"Hello?" She could hear a lot of noise in the background.
"Hey Sonny"
"Chad?"
"Who else would call you?" He asked self righteously.
Sonny, became so overwhelmed with anger that she hung up again. How could he be so different all the time? She didn't want to be friends with a Jekyll and Hyde sort of person. She was inside her trailer now and her phone mooed for a second time.
"Hello?"
"Don't hang up"
"Chad?"
"Sonny, I'm… sorry" There was silence on his end of the call, he must have left wherever he was that was loud and busy.
"I- What?"
"You needed advice and help when you said something was wrong in your text and I never replied, and then you called and I was a jerk. So… sorry"
"Chad, did you just sincerely apologise?"
"Yes, but only for you and only this once, because Chad Dylan Cooper never apologises… except this one and only time under such exceptional circumstances"
Sonny's heart skipped a beat before she could string half a sentence together.
"Thanks Chad"
"No problem Sonny. So you want advice on this Jonas guy, eh? I think that he might be a jerk, I mean have you seen Sharona's blog recently? He's been with everyone! Right now if you Google the guy's name you get a headline saying 'Joe Jonas in another tiff with Swift' Not that I googled him… but maybe stay away from him at all costs is my opinion"
"Chad, thank you for being concerned, but I actually didn't want advice on Joe when I called"
"You didn't?"
"No"
"Then why'd you call?"
"I don't know…" Sonny mumbled, blushing furiously to herself, "Partly because I promised you at the party I would… and partly because I just wanted… to talk… with you…"
There was a short silence, Chad cleared his throat, then she heard him say,
"Really Sonny? Really?"
She laughed, "Yes Chad, really!"
-
Sonny and Joes sort-of/ half-date / just friends thing was great. Her feelings of abandonment and loneliness disappeared for a night. Joe was really funny. He had her constantly laughing. They had gone for dinner and then to a movie. He had made no moves, but had been so sweet. They'd talked about everything, he was easy company. After their friendly night out they had been getting closer on set too. One more day and a whole month had passed since filming had begun.
"So Sonny, it's our one month anniversary of knowing each other tomorrow" Joe said excitedly.
"Yes Joe, it is. Well done for being able to keep track of time"
"Ha, see your sarcasm is really why we're friends, you keep me grounded"
Sonny laughed, "Whatever Mr. 'Peoples sexiest guy under 25'"
Now Joe laughed at her referencing his recent 'victory' in the American magazine, "So I was thinking…"
"Always dangerous, Jonas"
"That's why my middle name's danger! No, but seriously-"
"Really? I thought it was a nickname!"
"Yes, it is, I was being sarcastic! But would you let me get a word in edge ways Sonny!!"
"Sheesh, sorry, go right ahead"
They both laughed until Joe put on his 'serious face' and looked at his co-star, "Sonny, do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow night?"
Sonny's stomach twisted and flipped and flopped and knotted and everything in between, "Me?"
"Yes"
"Go on a date?"
"Yes"
"With you?"
"Yes"
"Tomorrow night?"
"Yes"
There was silence then, after what seemed like forever to Joe, Sonny replied,
"Ok" She grinned, "I'd love to"
"Really?"
"Really"
"So… it's a date?"
"Joe, you're the one who asked me in the first place, you can't seem unsure already"
He laughed, his cheeks reddening slightly as he ducked his head so Sonny wouldn't see him blush.
"You do things to me Sonny"
"I what?"
"You make me embarrass myself, it has never happened before"
Sonny burst out laughing, "Yeah, I'm sure, you're like, Mr. S- m- o- o- t- h!" She said, referncing his 'other personality'.
"Oh yeah, Mr. Smooth is right, cause I got my library card and-"
"Do not use the library card line on me, or so help me I will hit you!" Sonny threatened jokingly as she raised her hand.
"Ok, I take it back" Joe said resignedly, raising his hands in defeat.
Sonny started walking away, but she turned back, "Oh, and Joe?"
"Yep?" He asked looking straight at her, looking very cute bathed in the weak sun that broke through the clouds.
"It is definitely a date" Sonny said lightly before going into the canteen. Joe laughed to himself, and shook his head,
"She is such an adorable weirdo" He muttered before following her inside.
