Alright! Chapter two! I'm writing this as I go, so sorry if it takes awhile to update. D:
Oh and apparently the review button is blue. ;/ Last time I was on here, it was green… or I just remember when it's green… o_O
ANYWAY I hope you like this chapter! Thanks for the reviews! Enjoy! ^^
The next day I got in the car and drove to the Studios, but around half way there, I had remembered I wasn't in the show and I really had no point in going…
But I couldn't stay away just because I wasn't in the show. I still worked there… didn't I?
I sighed and pulled up. No one else from So Random was there. They liked to come in later.
But I saw Chad's flashy convertible in the parking lot and I pulled up beside his car and then headed to the Studio.
When I got in, through the cafeteria, I saw him sitting at a table in the empty room, flipping through a script, "Hey, Sonny…" he murmured to me.
"Hi," I sighed.
"What are you doing back… I thought Mandy-"
"You know, just because I got kicked out of this one show doesn't mean I'm not allowed in the Studio!" I snapped.
"Whoa, gee! No need to yell, Munroe, I was just curious!" Chad said, standing up.
"Sorry," I said, "It's just I've had Mandy on my mind… But I'm going to try to have a better attitude about all this. I don't want to be enemies with her… I wish there was something I could do that could make us become friends."
Chad laughed, "How about a 'peace picnic' or camping in the woods?"
"Ha. Ha. Yeah you're so hilarious aren't you, Chad Dylan Cooper?" I said.
He sighed, "Oh I try," and straightened his jacket, "So you have nothing to do at So Random?"
"Not that I know of," I said, "Where you going with this, Cooper?"
"Why don't you spend the rest of the week at the Falls?" Chad suggested.
"Really?" I said in disbelief.
By now a few people had shown up. One or two were people from Mackenzie Falls who I didn't know and Chad said he'd see them there, but there was mainly only staff showing up.
"Yeah," Chad shrugged, "Just until things cool down."
"You know how well things went last time," I said sarcastically.
"Well, we'll see what happens," Chad shrugged.
"Why are you being nice to me?" I asked.
"I don't like Mandy either, Sonny. I don't want to see anyone else hurt by her, mentally or physically," Chad said.
"Oh and by anyone you mean…."
"You," Chad said.
"I thought so," I said.
"Shall we leave?" Chad asked.
"Yeah… I don't need a Mackenzie Falls uniform do I?" I asked.
"Nah. Unless you want to wear one," he shrugged.
"I don't."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Good."
"Good."
"Fine."
"Fine," I finished, "Let's go."
And I walked away, towards Stage 2, Chad following.
After a few minutes of sitting there and watching Chad do everything he had to do on stage, he headed to his dressing room to get dressed as Mackenzie.
I felt odd being left alone.
And then the cast members started coming, along with the director.
First the main five came.
"What are you doing here?" Penelope asked, folding her arms.
"Um, I-"
"Don't you belong in that loser comedy show?" Portlyn asked.
"I heard she was kicked off because of Mandy," Chloe said.
"Okay! Let me explain!" I said.
"Wait, where's Chad?" Devon asked.
"Getting dressed. Can I explain now?" I asked and when no one spoke I continued, "I was not kicked out of the show… I was just… put off for awhile…"
"Why are you still here then?" Portlyn asked.
"I still work here," I spat. Every seemed to not know that.
Trevor opened his mouth to speak until Chad walked in, "Alright, I'm back," he was just buttoning part of his suit and fixing his tie.
"Did you bring her here?" Penelope asked Chad.
"Yeah, why?" Trevor asked.
"She's a Random," she growled.
"She's a person," Chad said.
"Wow! Since when did you care who was a person or not?" I asked.
Chad bit his lip nervously, "I mean we're all people here…"
"But you said that like I was an equal," I said.
"Pfft! No one is equal to Chad Dylan Cooper," Chad said.
"And Penelope thinks Chad should tell Sonny to go!" Penelope said.
"Devon would like everyone to not speak in third person!" Devon said.
"Chad, she has to leave," Penelope said.
"Look, she'll just be here for awhile. Until Mandy leaves and-"
"Ugh I knew the day where Chad cared about someone would come, I just never thought it'd be about someone from So Random," Portlyn sighed.
"Oh come on, girls! Lighten up! Chad said she won't be here for long!" Chloe said.
"Ugh, Chloe, you don't understand! Chad brought an enemy in our midst,"
Penelope said, "You know what? Just ignore her. Just for now. Chad we have to rehearse."
"Yeah, I know, I know," he mumbled.
"You excited?" she asked.
"No."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Eh… just a scene we have to do…" he replied, "Let's get it over with."
And I sat down and watched as everyone got in position.
"But we made a promise!" Chloe exclaimed to Portlyn, starting the scene.
"Only make promises with people you trust!" she said back, "You and I could never trust each other. Plus, Mackenzie is mine!"
"Oh goodness," I sighed, rubbing my forehead. Mackenzie Falls was so lame.
"Is that what this is about?" Chloe asked, "I don't want Mackenzie!"
"Oh girls, stop fighting," Penelope said, walking onto the stage, "It doesn't matter who wants Mackenzie or who doesn't."
"Hello, ladies, what's up?" Chad as Mackenzie asked, walking over to the three girls.
"And why is that?" Portlyn asked.
"Because Mackenzie is mine!" she said.
"Penelope, please, we've talked about this. I'm not interested in-"
Penelope grabbed his tie and jerked him forward, cramming her lips against his.
Chad pushed her off, "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice high. It was hard to tell if he was acting or not…
"Sealing our destiny, with a kiss," she said proudly.
He looked confused, "What destiny?"
"You don't know?" Penelope clicked her tongue in disappointment, "Well, I'm sure you'll find out… Soon enough…" And she walked off stage.
"And… CUT!" the director yelled and everyone went on stage, "Alright. Do it again."
And I sat there, nearly bored to death as they did that scene several times.
Then they ran it from beginning to end. Well, end of what they knew.
"Go ahead and start part three," the director said, "And action!"
Chad looked at his script and Trevor, also looking at his script, said, "What's up, Mak?"
"What destiny do you think I'd have with… Penelope…?" he asked.
"What?" Trevor asked.
"She mentioned our destiny… But I don't want a 'destiny' with her, I don't even like her! It's Chloe I like," Chad said, looking at the script.
"What?" Portyln said from behind Chad.
Chad turned around, "Portlyn, accept the fact that we will never be together. Sure, we're friends, but nothing more-"
"CUT! Stop, everyone just stop!" I screamed.
"What are you doing? I say cut!" The director said, "Who let her in here?"
"Uh, I did and I expected her to be quiet!" Chad said, glaring at me.
"You know, I'm glad you brought me here, because this is the reason I don't watch Mackenzie Falls: Your script pretty much sucks," I said.
"Excuse me?" Someone said, walking over to me.
"Are you the writer?" I asked.
"Yes!" she said, "You think my writing 'sucks'?"
"Well, I don't and won't watch Mackenzie Falls and I happen to know that you have been losing viewers recently?"
No one answered.
"Well I don't know how to write dramas so I don't know if I can help you, but anyone, I'd suggest getting another person to write, or just get writing help…I'd hate to break it to you, but this is horrible," I said.
"You know what? She's right!" The director said.
"WHAT?" Everyone, but Chad, screamed.
"You know what? Take lunch, we'll talk later," he said.
Everyone started to mumble unhappily as they all walked away. Chad stopped at me, "Let's walk and talk."
"Okay," I shrugged and we started to walk.
"Sonny- you can't come here and tell us how to do our show," Chad said.
"I wasn't. I was giving you a suggestion that should help you get viewers," I said, "I was helping you. I shouldn't even be here at all, you know."
"Then why'd you come?" Chad asked, stopping.
"You asked," I said.
"You accepted!" Chad said.
I sighed, "I know… I just thought it would be rude to not say- Whoa!" I tripped on my own feet and fell, nearly hitting the floor before I felt Chad catch me.
"Walk much, Munroe?" Chad chuckled, helping me up. I looked him in the eyes, feeling like I could melt and I was about to say something mean to him, but all I could manage was a shy sounding,
"These shoes have been giving me issues since I got them."
I sighed as we just stared at each other. And as if we were magnets we started to move just a little closer to each other and we leaned close to each other, about to kiss before I froze.
"What is it?" Chad asked softly.
"Nothing," I said, backing away from him and folding my arms across my chest, "Just a little awkward, that's all."
"I guess it is a bit…" he said, letting out a 'humph' sound. I blinked,
"Do you want to kiss me?" I asked, almost amused.
"I never said that," Chad said.
"You said 'humph'," I said, "You sounded disappointed to me!"
"Okay so what if I want to kiss you?" Chad asked, getting irritated now.
"What if I wanted to kiss you?" I asked, angry now.
"Then I would let you!" Chad said.
"Then I would let you!" I yelled back.
"Dang it, Sonny! Just kiss me already!" Chad said loudly.
"Fine, I will!" I said.
"Fine," Chad said.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Fine!"
"Fine," Chad finished before I crushed my lips against his!
We stood there for a moment and Chad wrapped a hand around my waist and I put mine around his shoulders.
And after another moment, I pulled myself away from Chad and turned away and sighed.
"Now what?" Chad asked, somewhat distantly.
"That was weird."
"Yeah it was," Chad agreed, smiling.
I couldn't hold back a smile and I turned around, "I think I liked it…?"
"I think I might have liked it just a little bit, too," Chad said nervously.
We both were breathing slightly heavy and I rubbed my forehead and laughed once.
"What?" Chad asked, still smiling.
"I'm just thinking of all the 'So Random Rules' I've broken like, helping your show by you know, suggested you get a new writer, or really just coming over to Mackenzie Falls, and the big one: Kissing you!" I said.
"Well aren't you just a rule breaker, Sonny?" Chad said with a laugh.
"Are you feeling alright?" I asked Chad.
"Why do you ask that?" Chad inquired.
"I dun know, you're just acting… umm the correct word is probably 'giddy'," I said.
Chad nodded, "That sounds about right. And I'm hungry. Let's go," he said, walking past me, towards the cafeteria.
When we got there, I saw Tawni, Nico, Grady, and Zora sitting at the normal table, the Mackenzie Falls cast at their normal one, and Chad turning around to ask me, "Steak or lobster?"
And before I could answer, he said, "I'll just get you steak."
Today Brenda was serving lunch, so I normally would have gotten slop along with the rest of my cast, but I guess Chad, still acting strange from our kiss, decided to get me steak.
And honestly, I couldn't complain… just felt guilty from being the only one from my show who was getting special food.
I walked over to the So Random table after Chad left and said, "Hey, guys! What's up? Where's Mandy?" I was feeling a bit scared by what they might say to my being here.
"I think the real question is, what are you doing with Chad?" Tawni asked.
"What do you mean 'doing with Chad'?" I asked nervously.
"You know what I mean. What are you doing with Chad?" she repeated.
"Well um… I got here, forgetting about Mandy until I was pretty much here and since I still work here 'n all, I decided there has to be something for me to do, but then Chad asked if I wanted to go to Mackenzie Falls with him and I thought it'd be rude to say no… So I agreed… And now apparently he wants to get me steak," I explained.
"This is probably a trap. Chad's probably trying to butter you up to get you to join Mackenzie Falls!" Zora said.
"Well it wouldn't matter anyway, even if she did join, because we have Mandy," Tawni said, "And it doesn't concern you where she went."
"She went to the ladies' room," Zora said, "But she's back now."
I turned to see Mandy walk in, "What are you doing here?" she asked me, "You're not in the show."
"I still work here, though," I said.
"Sonny," Chad said, walking over to me, "gonna eat?" and he handed me my plate of steak.
"Chad," Mandy said, coldly.
"Mandy," Chad said, colder, staring hard at her, "Come on, Sonny." And he and I walked over to the Mackenzie Falls table without another word.
Mandy's POV
I sat down at the table and pulled a camera out of my bag when I Was sure Sonny and Chad were out of ear shot, "You'll never guess what I saw."
I showed them some pictures I had taken.
"I knew something was up between them!" Tawni said.
"I can't believe she betrayed us like that!" Grady said.
"She's turned to the path of evil," Nico sighed.
"Sonny will pay for this!" Zora said.
"And I know exactly how," I said, "The press is outside. I give them this, they'll go crazy."
And we all stared at the pictures of Sonny and Chad in the hallway. A few pictures of them talking, her tripping, Chad catching her, them yelling at each other and finally, kissing.
