Wow. You guys are awesome! Fourteen reviews, for just the prologue! O.o I think we need to take a moment and revel in the awesomeness of my readers.
Kay, moment's over! :P
Oh, I heard rumors that Falling for the Falls will premiere on January 10th, 2010! *squeals like a CDC fangirl*
Here's Chapter One!
Cloudy with a Chance of Channy - Chapter 1
Rubies vs. Sapphires
"WHAT?!" the shout of disbelief that echoed across the cafeteria came from both Chad and Sonny. The two shouts were very different though. Sonny's was a squeal of disbelief and excitement and Chad's was more like a roar of disbelief and anger.
"Jackson Tyler!" screeched Dani.
"Coming to guest star!" squealed Tawni.
"Today!!!" they both shrieked together. Sonny let out a squeal of pure joy and ran over to hug Dani and Tawni in ecstasy. Even Tawni forgot about her bubble in the excitement. Chad just stood there, a look of disbelief and slight jealousy in his blue eyes.
"OMJT, I can't believe the Jackson Tyler is actually coming to So Random!" cried Tawni. Chad's brow furrowed.
"OMJT?" he asked.
"OH MY JACKSON TYLER!" the three girls shrieked together, causing Chad to cover his ears and wince dramatically.
"Ah, his eyes shine like a thousand rubies!" swooned Sonny, and Dani and Tawni sighed happily.
"Hey, my eyes shine like a million sapphires!" protested Chad. The girls apparently didn't hear him, as they were too busy sighing and staring dreamily off into space.
"Even his sweat shines like a thousand rubies..." Dani added, gazing into space.
"Ew, shiny sweat?" Chad asked, making a face. "Who the heck has sweat that shines? That's just nasty." The three girls glared at him.
"You obviously do not understand the hotness of Jackson Tyler," Tawni said. Chad threw his hands up in exasperation.
"Of course I don't!" he cried. "I'm way hotter than him, I'm way better looking than him, I'm a way better actor than him, I'm..."
"More conceited, don't forget that," Dani interjected and Sonny and Tawni giggled. Chad glared at them and sat down in a chair.
"Come on, we have to get ready for Jackson!" Tawni exclaimed. Dani nodded in agreement, and the two ran out of the cafeteria. Sonny was about to follow them when she caught sight of Chad sitting by himself, his head hanging dejectedly. Tentatively, she went over and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Chad, what's the matter?" she asked gently. Chad looked up at met her gaze with sad, puppy dog eyes. Sonny's breath caught in her throat as she found herself being hypnotized by those brilliant blue eyes.
"Sonny, do my eyes really shine like a million sapphires?" Chad asked her, sadly. He blinked a few times for effect. He grinned inwardly to himself as Sonny blushed and her eyes became slightly glazed over.
"Uh... well.. I mean......" Sonny began to lose her train of thought as Chad leaned even closer to her. "Yes..." she breathed, unawaringly.
"I told you so," Chad smirked, before pressing his lips to hers briefly before pulling away. "Catch ya later, Sonshine!" Chad walked out of the cafeteria, grinning to himself. Sonny sat there a moment longer, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Finally, she scowled.
"That boy is such a cheater," she muttered, before heading off to find Dani and Tawni.
Chad walked down the halls of So Random, until he came to Marshall's office. The door was open, so Chad walked in. Marshall sitting in his chair, talking on the phone to someone.
"Yes, yes, then turn right at University, and go about eight blocks and you should find it," he explained. "All right, I'll see you soon. Bye!" Marshall hung up and noticed Chad standing there.
"Oh, Chad, how can I help you?" he asked. Chad sat down in a chair.
"I heard Jackson Tyler is guest-starring on So Random?" he inquired smoothly. Marshall winced slightly, and answered nervously.
"Yes, you heard correctly."
"Well, I think I would like to guest-star on So Random again this week," Chad said. Marshall winced again.
"I'm so sorry, Chad, but that's not possible," he answered. "We have already made plans for Jackson to guest-star this week. Maybe next week?" Chad scowled, but smoothed out his expression.
"No, it's essential that it be this week" he protested. Marshall sighed.
"Look, Chad, I'm afraid that can't happen," he said. "Now, I know that Sonny is a big TriDark fan, and you might have some feelings of jealousy..." Chad stood up.
"I am not jealous of that vampire-wannabe!" he insisted.
"No, of course not" Marshall mumbled, running a hand through his air. Suddenly, the phone rang again, and Marshall picked it up. "Hello, you have reached Marshall Pike, executive producer of So Random" he said. "Oh, Jackson! You're here? Fantastic! I'll be right down, let me just grab the cast. Okay, bye!" Chad scowled again as Marshall hung up.
"Well, is here, so if you'll excuse me, I must be going," Marshall got up, cast one last worried glance at Chad, then quickly walked out of his office. Chad sat in the black leather chair, still scowling. Then he got up and started to walk towards the entrance of So Random.
He had to meet this Jackson Tyler before Sonny did.
Sonny ran into her dressing room, where Dani and Tawni were already fixing their hair, and applying makeup.
"Sonny, where were you?" asked Dani, who was straightening her hair. She looked over and saw Sonny's swollen lips and disheveled hair. "Sonny, this is not the time to be making out with Chad!" Sonny blushed slightly.
"I was not making out with him!" she protested, and Dani rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, get over here," she replied. "We need to make you vampire-ready!" Sonny went over and sat on the chair as Dani began brushing out her hair.
"You know, I think Chad is jealous" Tawni commented, as she was applying lipstick.
"Jealous?" asked Sonny, while Dani nodded in agreement. "Why on earth would Chad be jealous?"
"Uh, hello?" Dani replied, in a 'duh' tone. "Vampire hottie guest-starring?"
"You think Chad is jealous of Jackson Tyler?" Sonny asked.
"Well, yeah, you've been fawning over Jackson just like the rest of us," Dani said. "Don't you think that would make a boyfriend just a teensy bit jealous?"
"But, it's nothing but a fangirl crush," Sonny said.
"I know that, and you know that, but Chad doesn't know that," Dani told her. Sonny was still sitting there, looking slightly confused when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" called Sonny, and Marshall opened the door and walked in.
"Hello girls," he said, looking around. "Mr. Tyler is here, and I would like you guys to come down and..." The rest of Marshall's words were drowned out by the screams of the three girls as the rushed out of their dressing room and towards the So Random entrance. Standing there was a tall guy with jet-black hair and brown eyes.
"JACKSON TYLER!!!!" they screamed, running over and hugging him. Jackson looked slightly taken aback.
"Uh, hi..." he began, and the three girls screamed again. Thankfully, Marshall walked up then and rescued him.
"Girls, give him some space" he said, and the girls backed of, jabbering excitedly to each other. "Sorry about that, they're all big fans. I'm Marhsall." Marshall held out his hand and Jackson shook it.
"Omigosh, hi, I'm Sonny Munroe, and I am you're biggest fan!" Sonny squealed, and pushed Marshall aside and pumped Jackson's hand upside down. Jackson smiled at her.
"Hi, Sonny, nice to meet..." he was cut off as Tawni pushed Sonny aside and began to shake Jackson's hand.
"Tawni Hart, but you already knew that, I love all the TriDark movies!" Tawni flashed Jackson what was supposed to be a winning smile and flipped her hair.
"Oh, hey, Tawni...." Jackson was cut off once more as Dani shoved Tawni away.
"Oh god, I'm Dani, and I love all your movies, you're are such an awesome vampire!" Jackson smiled tentatively.
"It's great to meet all of you," he smiled. "I can't wait to start working with you. Are you all on So Random?"
"I'm not, but I love the show, and I've guest-starred a few times" Dani replied. Just then Nico and Grady stepped up, glaring slightly.
"Well, well, well, look who we have here," said Nico, trying to be tough.
"Jackson Tyler," Grady added.
"Oh, hey, you two must be Nico and Grady!" Jackson said, grinning. "I love that Gary and Larry sketch you did. Hilarious!" Despite themselves, Nico and Grady smiled and soon they were talking to Jackson like old friends.
"Oh, I was wondering if you guys wanted to go for ice cream or something later on," Jackson said. "You know, so I can get to know you all better."
"Yes!" Dani and Tawni cried.
"Sure, man!" Nico agreed, and Grady nodded.
"Sonny?" asked Jackson. Sonny was about to say of course, she would love to come, when she felt an arm wrap around her waist. Looking up, she saw Chad standing next to her, glaring at Jackson.
"Chad?" she asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Whoa, dude, you're Chad Dylan Cooper!" Jackson cried. Chad met his gaze defiantly. "Dude, I love MacKenzie Falls, especially MacKenzie. All that suspense and action... dude, you're awesome!" Chad blinked slightly, surprised.
"Uh, yeah, that's me," he replied. "You must be... Jackson Byler."
"Tyler," Jackson said, holding out his hand. Reluctantly, Chad shook it.
"Hey, you're eyes aren't red," he commented. Jackson looked at him strangely.
"It's just contacts, dude." Chad smacked himself mentally. Of course it was just contacts!
"Yeah, course," he replied smoothly. "Hey, Sonshine, I got a little something special for your over at the MacFalls set. Come on,"
"Oh yeah, you two are a couple now, aren't you?" Jackson asked, and Chad stiffened.
"Yeah, we are," he replied, staring at Jackson. "What's it to you?"
"Nothing, man," Jackson said, but Chad could've sworn he was checking Sonny out. "Just, congrats." Chad nodded stiffly, and steered Sonny away.
"Bye, Jackson!" she called back, and Jackson waved at her. Once they had reached MacKenzie Falls, Sonny turned to Chad.
"What the heck was that all about?" she demanded.
"Aw, I just wanted to finish that little kiss we had earlier," Chad lied smoothly, and pulled Sonny down into a kiss. Sonny relaxed for a moment before puling away. She remembered what Dani had told her earlier.
"Chad, you're not jealous of Jackson, are you?" she asked. Chad's eyes widened slightly.
"Pssh, no of course not!" he replied, waving his hand for effect. "Why would I be jealous?" Sonny's face showed disbelief, but Chad didn't say anything more.
"Okay then," Sonny said slyly. "So, then it would be okay with you if I went out for ice cream with him tomorrow?"
"No!" Chad shouted, standing up. "I mean, uh.." Sonny smiled triumphantly.
"Don't worry, it's with the whole cast," Sonny told him, inwardly celebrating her victory. "Dani's coming too."
"Would it be alright if I tagged along?" Chad was only asking because he wanted to get on Sonny's good side. Otherwise, he would have just barged right in.
"Sure, why not?" Sonny shrugged. "I have to go back now, Marshall wanted to go over this week's show." Sonny got up walked over to the So Random set, leaving Chad sitting there, thinking.
He found it kind of hard to be mad at this Jackson Tyler guy. I mean, who could be mad at someone who thought MacKenzie Falls was awesome? But Chad really didn't like the look that Jackson was giving Sonny. Chad was certain Jackson was checking her out. But, one thing was for sure.
That vampire was not getting anywhere near his Sonshine.
Thoughts? Good, bad, so-so? Wow, I think this is the longest chapter I've ever written.
Do you guys think that Chad needs to be in character more? I tried to make him in character, but some of the parts I think might be to sweet like for Chad. I tried to make it sound like he was just acting sweet, which we all know that he can do.
Please review! And Happy 2010!
