Featured Review Response: coulourfuldaze - That's cool that you think our writing flows so well together that you can't tell who's writing is what. I found that really cool. I guess it's cause I have a good co-author (sonnycentral). Anywho, here is the long awaited chapter!


Chad woke up to the smell of fresh waffles. With a yawn, he slowly rubbed the sleep from his eyes before sitting up on the couch. He and Sonny had fallen asleep together on the couch because they had reunited yesterday.

"Hey Sonshine, did you make your homemade strawberry syrup?" He asked as he glanced at Sonny who was plating the waffles.

Sonny gave him a thumbs up. "This is a fungenda day, strawberry syrup is a must."

Chad grinned and walked over to the dining table. He sat down and rubbed his hands in anticipation. On cue, Sonny came over and put his place of waffles in front of him. She put her plate down and then went into the kitchen to get some mugs.

"What's in the mugs?" He asked.

Sonny sat down and handed him a knife and a fork before smiling.

"Choco Surprise!" She exclaimed.

Chad laughed and took a sip. It was just as he remembered it. Choco Surprise was what he and Sonny called hot chocolate because every time their mothers' made hot chocolate they complained it didn't have enough chocolate. Thus, they created the Choco Surprise.

"Dig in."

With smiles both on their faces, they devoured their plate of waffles and not a drop of Choco Surprise was left.

"So, what's on the fungenda?" Sonny asked.

Chad grinned mischieviously. "Wouldn't you like to know…"

Sonny shook her head and pinched Chad's side.

"Owwww!" He yelped.

Sonny smirked and glared at him, demanding to know the answer.

"Well, I was thinking that me and you could go to the Santa Monica Pier…"

The brunette did a victory dance. "Could we go incognito? Like, bad incognito? We haven't done that in awhile…" Sonny mused.

Chad laughed. It was safe to say that regardless of them going incognito he was sure that he would be recognized anyway. In fact, he had given up on the whole incognito thing a while ago, but still, he knew Sonny got a ruse out of being in disguise.

"Well, as long as I get to be Dr. Alistar…and let's not forget that you must be my Lady Morticia again." He said comically.

Sonny beamed before getting up from the table. "Shall I get our trench coats?"

"Of course Lady Morticia."

"But dear Alistar, please take a shower." Sonny said while dramatically plugging her nose.

Chad furrowed his eyebrow before smelling himself.

"Eh, I don't smell bad." He complained.

"Ahh, but you do. Plus, daily hygiene is good." Sonny teased.

Chad rolled his eyes. "I shower every day..."

"Then why are you complaining?"

"Because you basically told me that I smelled bad."

Sonny wagged her finger. "I only implied that you smelled bad."'


Sonny and Chad strode up to the pier in their unique disguises. Adorned in black wigs, trench coats, and sunglasses, they looked oddly out of place. However, Sonny was tired of going places with Chad, him being recognized and hit on, and her left alone to fend for herself. At least in disguise they could be themselves without all of the fans.

"Well Morticia," Chad started as the two received strange glances from others, "Where would you like to go first?"

"How about that ride?" Sonny suggested a spinning ride that looked like it might make you vomit.

"Well, I guess it'd be best to ride that before we stuff our face with corn dogs," Chad chuckled, as he grabbed her hand and led her to the ride.


"That was great!" Chad exclaimed, happily getting off the ride. "Did you like it?"

Sonny glanced at him and he could tell by the look on her face that she didn't quite enjoy it like he had.

She looked pale and was very quiet. "Um, it was okay," she said, trying to hide her nausea.

Chad placed his hand on the small of Sonny's back for support. "Why don't we go site down for a minute, want a snack?" he asked.

"No, that's the last thing I want right now," she spoke softly. "Let's go get something to drink though."


After a break of sitting and some Sprite, Sonny's perkiness returned, and her head had finished spinning.

"Sorry for putting a damper on our fungenda day right at the beginning," she apologized.

"You didn't put a damper on anything," he assured. "You never do. I'm sorry if I've ever made you feel that way," he confessed.

"Thanks Chad, that means a lot. I mean, Alistair," she corrected. "Now, you choose something to ride next... as long as it doesn't spin," she teased.


After various non-spinning rides and some carnival type games, the twosome was famished.

They went to some food stands, ordering corn dogs and cotton candy.

As the sun began setting, Sonny took off her sunglasses, and Chad followed. His ocean blue eyes stared in to her warm brown ones, if only for a second. She opened the pink, fluffy cotton candy and pulled a piece off, placing it in her mouth. Chad couldn't help but watch her soft lips suckle the candy, and her shiny eyes as the sun reflected in them. Even with the ridiculous wig on, he couldn't help but think how beautiful she looked.

"Want some?" Sonny asked, noticing his stare.

"No, I'm okay," he said, looking away.

"Oh c'mon Chad, I know you love this stuff," she teased, taunting him by waving a piece of pink fluff in his face.

"No really it's-" she cut him off by stuffing the sweet in his mouth.

"Mmmm, this is really great," he sighed contently.

"Well of course it is, who doesn't like anything made entirely of sugar?" she joked.

"No, I mean, this is great. Just you and me, spending time together. I really have missed it," he admitted.

"I have too," she smiled, a faint pink rising in her cheeks.


They walked to the beach, and pulled their shoes off, now barefoot in the soft sand.

"You know, this would be more relaxing if I didn't have this goofy disguise on," he hinted.

"Go ahead, you can take it off. I was just hoping we could have one time when you didn't get recognized and it would just be us," Sonny said.

"I'd like that too," he smiled. "But, seeing as how no one else is here, I think we're okay," he said, taking the horrid wig and trench coat off. He unruffled his blonde hair and straightened his t-shirt and swimsuit trunks that he had on under his coat.

"Well it looks like you prepared for the beach," Sonny said, pointing to his swim trunks.

"Yeah, well I was hoping to get out of that ridiculous costume and go for a swim."

Chad stepped closer to Sonny, and took her wig off. "I think you should get rid of yours too," he said, throwing the wig on the ground and began unbuttoning her trench coat. "Because we both look like idiots with this get up on."

Sonny blushed furiously, even if it was only her coat he was taking off. He had this seductive look in his eyes that she had only seen him give to other girls.

He took her coat off and threw it to the ground with the rest of their belongings.

"Thanks Chad, now my hair is a mess," she whined, trying to smooth it down.

"I think it looks great," he complimented. "Now, lets go for a swim!"

"But Chad, I don't have a swimsuit," she said, looking down at her purple skirt and studded black tank top.

"Oh well!" he said, taking her hand and trying to drag her in to the ocean.

"No Chad! I'm not ruining this outfit!" she huffed.

"Wow Sonny, you sound like me," he teased. "Guess I'm just going to have to carry you in there..." Then he picked her up, carrying her over his shoulder, and drug her in to the water with him.

"Chad Dylan! I will so get you back for this!" she exclaimed, dunking him under water.

After a minute, he hadn't come back up, causing Sonny to panic. She was about to go under water just as Chad came from behind her, grabbed her waist, and dunked her under too.

Sonny resurfaced and was face-to-face with Chad who was cracking up. She couldn't help but smile at his childish antics and was enjoying all of the attention he was giving to her. Only her.

She gazed as the moon began to light up the night sky and realized that Chad's hands were still around her waist. She looked up in to his eyes as he watched the light shine on her features. He couldn't tear his gaze away. At that moment, he pulled Sonny closer to him, their bodies touching. He softly tucked a wet strand of hair in her face behind her ear. He inched his face closer to her, smelling her sugary sweet breath. Both of them felt a chill and their eyes fluttered closed. He was about to press his soft lips to hers, but right at that moment, they heard a flash.

Chad and Sonny broke apart, only to find a sneaky paparazzi had snapped their picture- and taken their disguises with him as he scurried away.


The two retreated back on to the sand, defeated. Both were confused as to what almost happened in the water, aggravated that it didn't happen, and mad about the lack of privacy.

"Well I guess you'll be on the front cover of magazines tomorrow," Sonny said as she lay on the sand next to Chad.

"Yeah, but you know what, I don't really care," he replied. "At least if they caught me hanging out with someone, it was you. My best friend."

"Right," Sonny sighed. "Best friend."
