A/N – Well, here we are … after 3 weeks, I've finally managed to get this written. Thanks for coming back.
Hope you all enjoy this.
Also, after I posted the last chapter, MusicChannySkyscraper (thanks for beta'ing btw) noticed that the story was on 9,999 words. So, now we are over 10,000 words :)

What a night last night was. Whilst Chad and Emma were on their "date" daddy and I went and had dinner as well.
It was really fun. After daddy and I had dinner, I saw Chad back in the room after his dinner with Emma. We went and had a coffee and doughnut each down at the little shop.
"So Chad. How'd your date go?" I joked.
"Sonny. It wasn't a date. We're just friends." He started.
"Don't worry Chad. It was a joke." I replied, laughing my butt off.
"It was nice, Sonny. It was great to catch up with her in person after how long it's been since we've seen each other." He replied.
"Hey, Sonny. You and Emma didn't get off on the right foot, how about I text Emma, and organise for you two to hang out and get to know each other?" He asked, excited.
"Sure, why not?" I drawled.
Chad then started tapping his iPhone screen and a few minutes later, a noise came from it. I assume it was a reply message.
"Okay Sonny, she said she'll be here in about 10 minutes. So, you have 10 minutes to get ready. Good luck." He stirred.
I then raced into the shower, had a really quick one, and got ready just as the door bell buzzed.
"Hi Emma. Sonny's just in the bathroom." I heard Chad say just as I was walking out.
"Here I am!" I said in a theatrical way.
I grabbed my handbag, and went downstairs with Emma.
We first off went and got a coffee; I'm addicted to coffee. I need my morning coffee.
"So Sonny, tell me about yourself." Emma asked.
"Wow Emma, where do I start? Well, I'm 17 years old. I go to a really expensive, private school in Los Angeles, which is rated as one of America's best schools. I think we are in the top 10. I only have my dad. When I was 12, my mom died in a car crash, and that really affected me. Still to this day, when I'm home alone, I lay on my bed crying, which is quite a lot, because my dad is rarely around. That brings me to my dad. He's a great guy; well, he used to be. When mom was alive, dad and I were really close. I was his princess, but after mom died, he was really affected as well. Straight after dad got the news, he told me, and then he went down into our cellar, grabbed a bottle of alcohol, and started drinking. Virtually non-stop. He also started dating lots of girls. Every night he'd come home with a different girl. Although, recently he's stopped doing both those things.
"Dad is a real-estate developer. He owns most of the best homes and business buildings in LA. He makes billions of dollars per year. But not only does he have all the buildings in LA, he also owns a lot of buildings in other parts of the country, which means he does spend a bit of time away. A few months ago was when I properly met Chad. At school we had a class project we had to do together. At first it was a hate-hate relationship. We both despised each other, but recently, we've been getting pretty close. We are now best friends. And that's pretty much all I'm going to say." I finished.
I sat there, looking at Emma, trying to work out what she was thinking about all that. But she seemed pretty hard to read.
"Wow Sonny. My goodness. I can see why you freaked out at Chad and I. I'm so sorry about that. Just to be perfectly clear, Chad and I are just good friends. There is nothing going on between us, at all. I've actually got a boyfriend." She started.
"Also Sonny, I'm really sorry to hear about your mum, I don't know how I'd cope if I'd lost mine. She means the world to me. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
"As for me, I'm 17 years old also, I'll be turning 18 in a few months. I was born in, and lived in America until I was about 5 years old, because my dad got a job here. I go to school 5 days a week, and I work 8 hours each weekend at the local supermarket. I have a boyfriend, who is really great, his name is Todd Farley. We've been going out for about 2 years. Other than that, there isn't a whole lot else to me. I'm a straight A student." She finished.
We then finished our coffees and went for a walk to the shopping centre.
"So Sonny. You and Chad seem pretty close. I get the feeling there is more than meets the eye." Emma curiously commented.
"Well, Emma, I'll be honest with you, I quite like Chad, but he clearly doesn't feel the same way, so, there is nothing I can do about it." I told her really sadly.
"Sonny, I do not believe that for one minute. I've known Chad all his life. Even though I've not seen him for about 12 years, we still chat regularly, and we often have calls. I still know that boy very well, and the way he talks about you, I am 100% positive he's into you." She cheerfully stated.
"Are you sure Emma? I just don't see it." I asked.
"Sonny. Even a blind man can see that you two are madly in love with each other. Heck, I've only known you for a couple days, and I can see there is a spark between you." She said, again, cheerfully.
Wow. I honestly never though Chad was into me like that. I know he loved me as a best friend... but more than that? I never realised. However, I really couldn't see why Emma would lie about it.
We then continued to talk about random stuff after that. Though, she did keep going on about Chad and I.

From: Chad
Emma, can you come down to the hotel please? I want you and Sonny to hang out today and get to know each other.
To: Chad
Okay. Be there in 10.
I had already got up this morning, so I put on my jacket, being winter and all, and took a stroll down to the hotel where Sonny and Chad stayed.
*knock knock*
Chad then answered the door, told me Sonny was in the shower, and invited me in.
Just as I walked in, Sonny came out of the bathroom.
We left the hotel room, and went downstairs to the coffee shop. Sonny absolutely insisted on getting a coffee. That girl must be addicted. I rolled my eyes.
"So Sonny, tell me about yourself." I asked, quite interested in the girl that Chad is so into.
Sonny is quite an interesting character, I must say after listening to her. I was really sad that her mum died though. She was 12 years old. That must have been devastating. And man, having a dad change the way it sounds like he did. That was horrible.
I actually felt quite sad for the girl. Thankfully she became friends with Chad. She seemed really happy about that.
After she finished speaking, I could tell from her face that she was trying to work out my thoughts. So I decided to just verbalise them.
"Wow Sonny. My goodness. I can see why you freaked out at Chad and I. I'm so sorry about that. Just to be perfectly clear, Chad and I are just good friends. There is nothing going on between us, at all. I've actually got a boyfriend." I said.
I felt it was important for her to know that I have no intention of stealing Chad from her. And that I did actually have a boyfriend, so I wasn't at all interested in Chad.
"Also Sonny, I'm really sorry to hear about your mum, I don't know how I'd cope if I'd lost mine. She means the world to me. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you." I added.
I then rattled off a bunch of stuff about me. It was all the usual, boring stuff you tell people when you get to know each other.
We then finished our coffees and went for a walk to the shopping centre.
"So Sonny. You and Chad seem pretty close. I get the feeling there is more than meets the eye." I commented. Clearly these two should be together.
Come on. Chad and Sonny. I had a good idea. They could be called Channy. Anyway, Channy would be an awesome couple. Seriously. I'd only known Sonny a few days, but I could really tell that they are made for each other.
Chad
"Good morning world." I called as I got up... Not to anyone in particular.
What a day this was going to be. The sun wass shining, not a cloud in the sky, and I was in New Zealand, with a very pretty country with the girl I'd fallen in love with, and her dad.
Shortly later I heard Sonny get up.
Sonny came out of her sub-room (I guess) and greeted me.
"So Chad. How'd your date go?"
"Sonny. It wasn't a date. We're just friends." I replied, acting peeved off, but secretly loving it.
"Don't worry Chad. It was a joke." She replied. Laughing. Ugh.
"It was nice Sonny. It was great to catch up with her in person after how long it's been since we've seen each other." I told her.
"Hey, Sonny. You and Emma didn't get off on the right foot, how about I text Emma, and organise for you two to hang out and get to know each other?" I added excitedly.
"Sure, why not?" She drawled.
I then started sending Emma a text message. She replied back virtually immediately and I told Sonny to quickly shower.
About 10 mins later, as promised, the door bell rang.
"Hi Emma. Sonny's just in the bathroom." I informed her.
"Here I am!" Sonny came out, like she was in a play or something.
She then took her handbag and left with Emma. I hoped that they wouldn't kill each other.
A few minutes after they left, Mr Munroe came in.
"Hey guys." He called out.
"It's just me sir." I replied.
"Where's Sonny?" He asked, concerned.
"She's just gone out with my friend Emma. I want my two best girls to get to know each other." I stated.
"Cool, well, Chad. How about you and I take a flight to the North Island and visit the Lord of the Rings set? I know Sonny'll hate us for going without her, but we'll take her again later." He asked.
"Sure sir. I love the Lord of the Rings."
Mr Munroe and I then went down to the hanger and jumped into his plane, took off, and flew to the North Island and went on the Lord of the Rings tour.
It was so freaking awesome. We went and checked out the various sites, and in the afternoon we took the plane back to the hotel.
A/N – So, what did you think? Am I the only LoTR fan here? I'm looking forward to The Hobbit coming out next month.
I hope you all liked that, it was pretty fun to write the Emma/Sonny stuff :)
So, that's about it from me I guess. See you next time :)
