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

"Wow, that was a great show," Sonny laughed, walking back into the dressing room with Tawni.

"The audience can never get enough of me!" she agreed.

"I'm going to go meet James," Sonny said, shoving her phone in her back pocket.

"And I care…why?"

"Right. Anyway, see you later."

* * *

"James?" Sonny called from the rooftop. She had circled the roof twice and had not seen him anywhere. "James?!"

Sonny was tired from her long day of filming, and she had no patience for James's tardiness. It was James that had suggested this time in the first place, and he was still late.

"Looking for someone?" a voice called to her. She was relieved James had remembered their plans, since he had a tendency to forget and stand her up. But Sonny understood he was busy, and she never yelled at him for it. She turned towards the door to the roof, expecting to see her adorable boyfriend smiling his perfect smile.

Instead, it was Chad.

"Chad, what are you doing here?" Sonny asked, even more annoyed than before.

"I just had to get some peace from the Falls. Lots of drama." He had used that line so many times before, Sonny just ignored his failed attempt at humor. "What are you doing?"

"Waiting for James. He sent me some flowers this morning and told me to meet him up here. I guess he's late. Again."

"Flowers? Really, Sonny? Really? Quite a manly man you have there." Chad snorted, but stopped as his eyes fell onto Sonny's beautiful annoyed face. She was so cute when she was agitated. Stupid, stupid cute.

"Yes, he is." She smiled. "And, unlike SOME people, he is actually sweet and kind towards others. Not that you would know anything about that."

Chad laughed. He could think of ten different comebacks, but he didn't want to start another fight. He stared at Sonny, not knowing what to say. "You know Sonny, your hair looks really pretty out here. I really like it."

"Thanks, Chad. Your eyes look especially sparkly today. Wait, did you just compliment me?"

"Did you just compliment me?"

"Maybe."

"Fine."

"FINE!"

"GOOD!!"

"GOOD!!!"

Sonny stormed away, angry at Chad and upset that James had stood her up. But her anger faded quickly, because Chad really was trying to be nice. She stopped at the doorway to the roof, and turned around to face him. "Chad?"

"FINE!!!!"

"No, Chad. I just wanted to say thanks. You are really sweet."

"Don't spread it around," he winked, and gave his famous Mackenzie Falls smile.

Sonny laughed too. They smiled at each other, and after a while they just stared, looking silently into each others eyes. Sonny never laughed with James. He was a more serious guy. "Anyway," she said softy, not wanting to break the moment, " I'd better go find James."

Chad looked down at his shoes, trying to hide the disappointment in his eyes. "James…right…sure…"

"…see you later…" She turned around and sprinted down the stairs.

"I hope," Chad whispered to his feet.
