S U M M E R W I T H T H E S T A R S :: C H A P T E R 5
Synopsis: The two hottest shows at Condor Studios are required to go to a dance together. When all goes wrong, Mr. Condor himself sends them on a trip in the Bahamas. Sounds perfect, huh? Well when people plot, lies are told, and people get hurt, it might just be bitter sweet.
Rating: T for language and romance, but nothing you can't handle.

Note: Thanks to one of my anonymous reviewers, aLittleSonshine, for part of the idea for this chapter! Thanks(:

"So… I think it's fair to say you guys forfeited." Marshall sighed, walking with Mr. Condor back to the beach house.
The cast sat in silence – not from sadness, but out of fear. They didn't feel like testing Chad's current boundaries.
"You really messed up this time, C." Portlyn said, sitting down in the empty seat next to Chad.
Chad scoffed, playing it off as no big deal.
"You made her cry. You made Sonshine Monroe cry."
.:.:.:.:.
The Mackenzie Falls cast eventually gathered together their belongings, packing up to go back inside the beach house. Chad was the last to leave, sitting there alone to curse himself for his actions. He could only wish that the events of the last hour could be relived, just so that he could undo the trouble he caused to the love of his life.
After realizing his pathetic behavior, he stood and trudged back to his room in the beach house.
He has previously requested the master bedroom. They had given it to him, knowing that he hadn't contributed at all to the party fight scene. He wouldn't be surprised if they now took it away and forced him to move into a smaller, less fulfilling room due to his actions, for they had come to heal the rivalry and he was simply acting as a stick in the mud.
Sonny had always taken his blows with a smile, dishing it right back at him. She has never taken it personally and stormed off – especially not while crying. It was just so out of character for her to act that way. So Chad decided she was pulling a prank on him, simply crying and making a big deal out of it just to make him feel bad. And he did not intend to fall for her unconvincing act. No, no he did not.
He smirked to himself, turning out the light to go to sleep. The thought of her pulling a prank on him to trigger his caring emotion was comforting, allowing him to fall asleep without a worry on his mind.
The next morning, intercom came onto his room at 11 A.M., as it did all the others, and told him that today's challenge would begin in an hour. Lovely, he was competing with the very people that wanted to ring his neck. At least he had a back-up: he swore he would press charges if they even touched a hair on his head.
The events of yesterday flooded back to him, causing him to groan. The So Random! cast were going to milk this for all it's worth, he knew that for a fact. He wouldn't put it on Sonny to go along with them and incriminate him as well, though, so that's all that truly mattered.
He finally decided to venture downstairs to get a bite to eat for breakfast after all of the hectic events the previous day. Time to put it behind him and move on. Surely Sonny already has.
Chad walked into the kitchen, surprised to see everyone but who he expected to be at the center of attention, being treated as if she was sent through hell in a hand basket. Sonny.
"Where is she?" Chad stuttered remorsefully, his hand rubbing the back of his neck with worry.
"I don't think that concerns you, Chip." Nico sneered, piling more pancakes and bacon on to his plate. It was a miracle he wasn't huuuuge… he had more on his plate then ol' Grady. He must have a fast metabolism.
"Where's Sonny?" Chad demanded, not glaring at Nico.
Nico groaned, "She's probably still upstairs balling her eyes out or being depressed, alright Cooper? Make her cry anymore and Grady and I will make you cry." He threatened, taking a seat at the large dinner table with all of the other stars, minus Sonny and Chad.
Chad quickly nodded and flew up the stairs, ready to soothe Sonny and tell her anything she wanted to hear as long as she forgave him.
He knocked on her door, opening it.
"Sonny?"
She was sitting on her pink bed, a pillow covering her entire fence.
"What?" She asked, her voice muffled.
Chad sighed, "Can we take a walk?"
She removed the pillow, "Um... Sure?"
He chuckled to himself.
"Let's go."
They walked down the staircase, receiving many unreadable faces directed at them from the two casts. Chad brushed it off, pulling Sonny through the toom before she would notice.
They walked out the back door, greeted by a cold breeze. Chad immediately took of his jacket and handed it to her without question. She wrapped it around her shoulders, still shivering from the huge change in temperature.
He guided them further down the path, taking in the gorgeous sunset above them. It seemed to be lined with preciously-placed sequins, glistening through the fluffy clouds. The cement turned into a dirt trail as they neared the beach. His footsteps became all he could hear as hers faded out.
He turned to see that Sonny stopped at a bench on the trail and took a seat. Chad looked at her, confused.
"If you're gonna make me cry again, I'll need to be close to the house so I can contain myself until I get up to my room." She explained, a smirk present on her face.
Chad sighed, sadly gazing into her eyes. "Sonny, I'm not going to make you cry." He insisted.
She scoffed. "So, why am I here? What do you need to tell me?"
Heheh, a cliffhanger. Sorry :P
But there's gonna be Channy in the upcoming chapters.
*insert rabid fan-girl squeal* XD
The next chapter will be up tonight after dinner. Dumb wifi wouldn't let me post these yesterday :/
