***Disclaimer: I do not own Sonny With a Chance***

"James?! Sonny?! Date?! Again?!" Chad paced around his dressing room, confused and annoyed. "Didn't we suffer enough last time? How could she fall for him again?" He reached into his McKenzie Falls jacket and pulled out the red rose he had been hiding in the hallway. He tore the small flower apart, accidentally cutting his hands. He threw the small shreds of flower into the garbage, and continued his frustrated rampage.

He and Sonny had always fought. That's how they were. But somehow, he had felt particularly bad about their last rift. So, he had planned to apologize to Sonny and try to fix their relationship.

Not that they had one.

However, James had gotten to her first, once again. And Sonny was going to go out with him, once again. Chad thought back to the last time at Arcadia, where he went to "hang out with his bro". Sonny and Tawni had gone to play air hockey, and he had to watch as James drooled over Tawni. It was then Chad realized how much of a jerk James really was. Sonny found out soon after, of course, (astronauts on the moon could tell) but apparently breaking her heart once wasn't enough for him.

Not that he cared.

"We were a more believable couple than they were!" Chad stewed. His favorite blog entry ran through his mind, where he described Sonny's "passionate kiss" they had shared, though he knew it wasn't real.

Not that he wanted it to be.

Chad knew where this date would go. Sonny did too, but she wouldn't admit it. And Tawni wouldn't be there to help her this time. No, she would be all alone.

Unless…

"Perhaps it's time to hang out with my bro again…" he said with a sly smile.
