They found Sonny watching Chad rehearse "Mackenzie Falls". It took a little convincing, but they finally got her to leave and talk with them.
"What is it?" Sonny asked when they were in the prop house.
"We have some really bad news that you're not gonna like, but we have to tell you anyway." said Nico. Sonny eyed them curiously.
"Alright… then say it. I guess?" Her cast mates looked at each other.
"You tell her." Nico told Grady.
"No you!"
"Tawni, you do it."
"Me?! I hate telling the bad news!! Make Zora!" She exclaimed. Zora shrugged.
"Alright."
"NO!" Nico stopped Zora. "You'll make it sound… really bad. I'll just do it I guess." He sighed. "Ok Sonny, Chad is going to rig the Teen Choice Awards to "Mackenzie Falls" win the Choice TV Show Award over us." He said in one breath. Sonny rolled her eyes.
"Really guys? I thought you were ok with us going out."
"What are you talking about?" Grady asked.|
"You don't have make up lies about him just because you don't like him."
"But we're telling the truth!" protested Tawni. Sonny stood up.
"Prove it."
"Fine. Ask Chad how he got your tickets for the concert tonight." Nico told her.
"I will. Now, if you excuse me I have to go get ready to see Boys Like Girls." She left the room.
"I can't believe her! She's being completely ridiculous!" said Tawni.
"She'll realize it when Chad tells her the truth." said Nico confidently.
"You mean IF Chad tells her the truth." Grady reminded Nico. "Chad isn't exactly Mr. Truthful."
"He got the tickets from Portlyn. That's suspicious enough."
Chad and Sonny walked up to the venue, hand in hand.
"Seriously, this is amazing Chad. I still can't believe you got tickets." Sonny gushed as they were waiting in line.
"I know, I know. I'm amazing." He said with a smile.
"Um, just how did you get the tickets?" Sonny asked. Chad shrugged.
"One of my many connections."
"Can I know who?"
"Why is it important?"
"It's not. I was just wondering who you know and stuff."
"Portlyn's dad is in the music business."
"You got them from Portlyn?" Sonny asked, incredulous.
"Yea."
"But Portlyn hates me. She wouldn't just give you and me concert tickets."
"She was being nice, ok?" He said, as they handed their tickets over to the bouncer.
"That's not even possible. Portlyn is NEVER nice." Sonny stopped dead in her tracks, as it hit her.
"What?" Chad asked. "C'mon, the show is gonna start." Sonny looked up at him.
"I can't believe it." She stated.
"What?"
"You're gonna rig the Teen Choice Awards, aren't you?" Chad scoffed.
"No, that's ridiculous."
"But you are! Nico warned me that you were and I didn't believe him! How could I have been so stupid?"
"I'm not going to!"
"Yes, you are! Because in order to get these tickets from Portlyn, she probably made you promise to rig the awards so your stupid show won over "So Random!" Chad didn't say anything, confirming Sonny's accusations. "I really thought you had changed Chad. I can't believe you even considered that!"
"I had to otherwise she wouldn't give me the tickets."
"I would have rather not came here tonight then have you rig the awards. I don't even understand why you would in the first place. I'm sure your show was going to win anyway."
"Actually, "So Random!" would have." Sonny's jaw dropped.
"So that's why Portlyn wanted it rigged. So you won. Well fine, be that way." She turned around to leave but Chad stopped her.
"It's not even that big of a deal! Now c'mon, let's go watch the show." Chad reached for her hand, but Sonny jerked her hand back.
"Not a big deal?" She shook her head in disgust. "I'm leaving." She turned away and walked out. Chad stood there for a couple minutes, and then walked into the show just as the band walked out on stage.
