Okay, I realized after I posted Chapter 1 that I had essentially created two teams: Team Ruby (Jackson) and Team Sapphire (Chad). So, for the fun of it, in your review you can say whether you are for Team Ruby or Team Sapphire.
Oh, BTW, did any of you see the Disney Star Showdown? I watched a little bit... I saw the trailer for the new Sterling Knight movie, Starstruck. If you ask me, it looks like they stole Channy's love/hate relationship and based it into this movie.
If anyone saw any more SWAC Season 2 promos or Starstruck promos could you please PM me? I'm dying to know!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except Dani, as was established in the prologue. Actually, you know there is probably someone in the world named Danielle Cooper who will read this story and think "WTF?? Who does this author think she is? She doesn't own me!" So, I probably don't even own Dani. It's a sad life. :(
Dani: Not for me! I'm free!
Me: Shut up.
Cloudy with a Chance of Channy - Chapter Two
It all happens at the Ice Cream Parlor
Sonny hummed happily to herself as she picked out an outfit to wear to the ice cream parlor with Jackson and the rest of her cast. And Chad and Dani she added on as an afterthought. Finally, she settled for dark blue skinny jeans and a cute yellow top.
"Knock knock," Chad said, opening the door and coming in. He was also wearing dark jeans and a plain yellow shirt. Sonny rolled her eyes. She was used to Chad barging in on her. That's why she had taken to changing in the bathroom. If Chad walked in on her... well, that would just be too embarrassing to even think about. Just because they were dating didn't mean Sonny wanted him thinking about her in that way.
"Come in," Sonny said sarcastically, and Chad laughed. He looked her up and down, a small smirk forming on his face. Sonny hit him with the sofa pillow. "Ow!" he wailed, holding his arm. "What was that for?"
"For checking me out, you perv!" Sonny retorted.
"I can't help myself, you're just so beautiful," Chad smiled at her, pulling her in for a hug. Sonny hugged him back, suspiciously.
"What's with all the compliments?" she asked suspiciously.
"What, I can't compliment my girlfriend?" Chad asked, putting a look of fake hurt on his face.
"No, it's just..." Sonny trailed off, unable to find a good reason for why Chad couldn't compliment her. "Never mind," she grumbled and Chad smirked.
"C'mon, let's go" he said, taking her hand. Sonny smiled and they walked towards the cafeteria, where they were supposed to meet the others. Sonny felt kind of bad for being suspicious of Chad when he was being nice. Chad could be nice when he wanted to.
You should appreciate it when he's nice to you she told herself. Sure, she loved the Chad that thought he knew everything, with his ever cocky attitude and their daily fights, but sweet, thoughtful Chad was pretty darn amazing too. When they arrived at the cafeteria, everyone was already there. Dani and Tawni were talking to Jackson, but Dani rushed over as soon as she saw Chad and Sonny.
"Omigosh, you match!" she squealed, and when they looked down they saw that indeed, their outfits did match. "Aw, that's so cute!!" she gushed. Jackson sauntered over to them and smiled at Sonny.
"Hey, Sonny, hey Chad," he said, looking Sonny over. "You look great, Sonny" Sonny blushed and smiled, but Chad stiffened and squeezed Sonny's hand. Sonny looked at him questioningly, but Chad shook his head.
"Well, let's go everyone!" Jackson said. The crew walked out of the cafeteria and onto the streets of Hollywood.
"So, where are we going, dude?" Nico asked, giving Jackson a friendly punch to the shoulder. Jackson grinned back at them and Sonny smiled. She was a bit worried about how Nico and Grady would like Jackson, but they seemed to be hitting it off great. Chad, on the other hand...
"This place called Sweets n' Treats I found earlier," Jackson said. Chad snorted at the name and Sonny gave him a glare.
"That sounds like such a cute little place!" Sonny beamed. Jackson winked at her and Chad was positively fuming.
"Yep, it's one of those romantic little places," Jackson said, winking again. Sonny giggled and Chad had to fight very hard to keep from giving Jackson a little knuckle sandwich.
"Sounds perfect for us, eh Sonshine?" he winked at Sonny instead, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Sonny blushed and giggled again, leaning into Chad. Jackson looked slightly miffed.
Meanwhile, Dani was having second thoughts about this Jackson character. Sure he was hot, and cute, and a vampire, but who the heck did he think he was trying to flirt with Sonny? There was no way Jackson was going to jeopardize the relationship Dani had worked so hard to put together. Dani smirked slightly as she saw her brother wrap his arm around Sonny. Chad was jealous. It was so obvious, even more obvious than how much Chad and Sonny liked each other. Watching Jackson wink and Sonny, and Chad grit his teeth, Dani made up her mind.
Time for a little interference.
"Hey, Chad, can I talk to you a minute?" I asked. Chad glanced at me before sending a nervous look towards Sonny. Ha, I knew it! Heis so jealous! I rolled my eyes. I had to make this quick.
"Don't worry, Tawni's looking after her," I told him. Chad looked at me with a mixture of confusion and... gratitude? Nah, that can't be. My brother doesn't do gratitude. Then again, my brother usually doesn't do jealousy either. Sonny is definitely the best thing that has even happened to him. Chad followed me outside while the others found booths and sat down.
"Dani, what do you want?" Chad demanded. He kept glancing through the window nervously at Sonny, who looked like she was enjoying herself.
"Why, Chad, what's the hurry?" I decided to drag this out a bit. Because of course, that's just the kind of loving, caring sister I am. Chad looked torn between wanting to go back in and admitting that he was jealous of Jackson. He opened his mouth but I cut him off.
"Save it, Chad," I said. "I don't want your lame excuses about how you're not jealous, because it's totally obvious that you are. It's just as obvious as how much you two were in love. Well, still are." Chad opened his mouth again in protest, then closed it again in defeat.
"Fine," he sighed. "But what do I do? That vampire freak has got his eyes all over her!" I grinned. I got him to admit it! I got him to admit it! Who's good? Uh-huh, that's right, I'm good, go me, go me, go me...
"Hello? Earth to Dani!? I asked you a question!" What? Oh, heh heh.... oops. Chad rolled his eyes. "I said, what do I do? That vampire freak is totally checking Sonny out!"
"Well, first of all, he's not a freak, he's a total hottie," I told him. Chad groaned and put his head in his hands. "And, second, don't worry that much about it. Do you really think I would let a vampire jeopardize the relationship that I so brilliantly put together?" Chad snorted.
"You had the DJ play our song," he informed me. "That's hardly brilliant."
"Excuse me?" I asked, getting up in his face. "If it wasn't for me, your little Sonny would be in the arms of that vampire." Chad growled, yes, you read right, growled. I smirked at him.
"Whatever," he said, flipping his hair out of his eyes. "But that's it? I just leave my whole relationship in your hands? Somehow, I'm not too happy with that."
"Hey, if it wasn't for me, your relationship wouldn't even exist" I retorted. "But, what you can do is try and be a little nicer to Sonny, you know, a little more Chad and a little less CDC." Chad nodded, like he understood me. Gasp! That would be a first. :)
"All right, c'mon CDC," I said. "Go in their and get your Sonshine back," He glared at me for using his nickname, but I just grinned and walked back inside.
Sonny's POV
Chad and Dani walked back in. Dani was looking extremely pleased with herself, and Chad was looking... angry? And... thoughtful? Gosh, Chad is the only person I know who can look angry and thoughtful at the same time. I swear that boy has major mood swings. What were they talking about anyway?
Chad slid into the booth next to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. I shivered slightly at the tingles that went up my spine every time he touched me. I loved it. I loved him. I... oh, god, Sonny. Get ahold of yourself!
"Yoohoo, earth to Sonbeam," Jackson grinned at me and waved his hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my daze and smiled weakly back at him.
"Sonbeam?" Chad asked, sounding furious, whipping his head between me and Jackson.
"Oh, yeah, it's just a little nickname Jackson made up for me," I told him. I actually thought it was kind of cute. But, it didn't even compare to Sonshine. I loved when Chad called me that, it made me feel so special. Chad was glaring daggers at Jackson. Why couldn't the two of them just get along? I was beginning to think more and more that Dani's theory was true. I mean, why else would Chad act like Jackson was the most horrible thing on the planet?
Jackson winked at me and I giggled despite myself. Hey, I mean if you were sitting across from the most famous vampire actor in all of Hollywood, and he winked at you, you would giggle too. Don't even try to deny it. Chad hissed softly and his arm tightened around my waist. Yep, definitely jealous.
I didn't want my boyfriend to be jealous. Jealousy is not a warm, fuzzy-type feeling. No, it does not feel good. I took Chad's hand and squeezed it reassuringly under the table. Chill out. He shot me a surprised, yet grateful look and squeezed my hand again. Sorry. I smiled up at him and leaned against his shoulder. I almost laughed at the peeved look on Jackson's face. Sure, he was hot and all, but it was kind of creepy how he kept checking me out. Like, hello I have a boyfriend dimwit!
Everything seemed perfect as soon as I laid my head on Chad's shoulder. Call me a romantic sap, but it's true. I lay there, eating my ice cream and gazing into those brilliant blue eyes, and I was content. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Nico and Grady making gagging faces at us, but I ignored them.
Suddenly, the bell at the front of the shop dinged, signaling someone walking in. No biggie, right? Wrong. I knew something was wrong when Chad sat up suddenly, causing me to fall forward.
"Ouch!" I sat up rubbing my head. "Chad, what was..." I stopped at the look of pure horror on Chad's face. I followed his gaze to see a slim, red-haired girl with deep green eyes. She was dressed sort of, well... I don't really know how to put this nicely.... revealing, I guess. Recognition dawned on her face when she looked over at our booth, then a sly and sultry smile formed on her face. It didn't help that she was staring straight at Chad.
I immidiently felt jealousy welling up inside me. Calm down, Sonny, you don't even know who she is. Chad looked scared, something I rarely saw. The girl walked over to our booth. When Tawni, Nico and Grady saw her, their mouths dropped open. Tawni's mouth opened and closed. She was speechless, a first for her.
The girl walked straight to Chad, and looked him straight in the eyes. I could feel Chad shaking slightly. Who did this girl think she was? Obviously not good, if Chad was scared of her. The strange part was that everyone seemed to know her, except me. Oh, and Jackson. He looked at me, confused, like What is going on? I shrugged to show I had no idea. The girl flipped her hair and opened her mouth to speak.
"Hello, Chad," she said, placing her perfectly manicured nails on the table. What the-? How did she know his name? Chad gulped before answering her nervously.
"H-hi Mandy"
Oooh, suspense!! Mwahahaha! I'm so evil. :D
Review quickly or else you will never find out what happens! Mwahahahaha!
Oh, and don't forget to put whether you're for Team Sapphire or Team Ruby! Oh, and sneak peak spoliers would be greatly appreciated as well! If someone has a really good sneak peak, then I can post it in the A/N for the next chapter so you can all see it too!
Peace out, suckas! And happy 2010!
