Acting Out: Chapter 7

Once arriving at a nearby hotel, the couple were given strange looks by the few who were actually in the lobby. Sonny wasn't positive if it was because of who they were or because they were soaking wet from the beach.

"Can we please get a room, preferably the biggest one you have." Chad asked the receptionist, knowing there'd be no luxurious penthouse suite at this hotel.

"We actually only have two rooms available, sir." The older man replied, obviously not knowing or caring who Chad was, "Both rooms have a double bed, a bathroom and of course a television."

"That's it?" Chad asked in shock before turning to Sonny, "Let's just drive home."

Sonny rolled her eyes, "We'll take it thank you." She told the receptionist, "By the way, would you happen to have a gift shop with clothes and such?"

"Yes, it closes in around ten minutes actually."

After getting a swipe card to their room, Sonny and Chad made their way to the hotel gift shop, picking up some robes and basic products they'd needed as well as some snacks. Chad of course ended up buying some hair products which made Sonny giggle.

"We will be gone in the morning, it won't matter."

"People cannot see the Chad Dylan Cooper with his hair looking a mess." He countered, "I don't know how I've gotten from the car to here without looking at my reflection."

By the time they made their way up to the room, Sonny felt herself become drowsy.

Chad let out a yawn as he unlocked the hotel room door, "This was a good idea, I would have fallen asleep driving."

The room was fairly nice, yet a little small, not that Sonny minded. She had been in worse before, however she could tell Chad was mortified.

"You got to be kidding me." He said in shock.

Sonny pushed him into the room, "Just go take a shower and fix your hair, pretty boy." She instructed him.

Sonny switched on the television and sat on the edge of the bed, hoping Chad wouldn't take as long as he usually did.

She wanted to get all that sand off her and then go to sleep.

Fifteen minutes later she was starting to become irritated, she swore that Chad was a girl sometimes.

"Chad, hurry up!" She yelled, getting up and banging on the door a couple times.

"I'm just going to dry my hair." He called back to her.

"Well do it out here then so I can shower!"

Chad opened the door a couple seconds later, a hairdryer and hair-products in his hand. He was wearing a full-length bathrobe and Sonny saw he had hung his wet beach clothes up in the bathroom to dry.

After showering and washing her hair, Sonny hung up her wet dress to dry next to Chad's clothes.

She came out of the bathroom to discover that he had done a 'quick' job on his hair and was lying down on the bed channel surfing.

Sonny, in her much shorter bathrobe, grabbed one of the toothbrushes they had bought and went to brush her teeth.

When she came back out, Chad was under the blankets of the bed watching some movie.

"I hope you don't plan on staying there." The brunette laughed icily.

"Sonny my dear, I'm not moving. What do you suggest, for me to sleep on the floor? There isn't even a couch in this room."

"I'm not sharing a bed with you."

"Well unless you plan on sleeping on the floor, you don't have any other option. Come on, we shared a bed together last week."

"That was our wedding night." Sonny said, wincing at the memory.

"Come on, it's not like we'll sleep together again, we are both sober."

Sonny gave in, grabbing the snacks they had purchased, and got into the bed with Chad. The two ended up watching the movie in silence as they ate their snacks.

The shower had temporarily woken Sonny up and it wasn't until just before midnight that she began to feel drowsy again.

...

"Well that movie was alright." Chad commented when it finished.

He glanced over at Sonny as she didn't respond, he saw why.

She had fallen asleep and actually looked quite peaceful.

Chad grabbed the remains of their snacks off the bed and threw them in the bin before turning the light to the room off and returning to the bed.

He pulled the blanket up over Sonny before covering himself, "Goodnight, Sonny." He whispered.

He turned the television down low and continued to watch the following movie until he finally felt to drowsy to keep his eyes open, resulting in him turning the television off and falling asleep next to his wife.

...

It was the following week that Tawni claimed she had the most amazing and brilliant idea ever. Then again, Tawni always said her ideas were amazing and brilliant.

"Look, I know the two of you get along some of the time but it's not like you are even that close anymore or care about each other in that way." The blonde announced as Sonny walked into their dressing room, referring to Sonny and her new husband.

"Yeah?" Sonny said uncertainly, indicating for her co-star to continue.

"If he cheats on you and you get evidence and leak it to the media, who will look like a crap husband?" Tawni asked her.

"How do we get him to cheat?" Sonny asked unsurely, not sure if she wanted to do that in order to obtain an extra season of their show.

"Get a bunch of girls up to the apartment; say you are having a party with some friends."

"What girls?"

"Fans." Tawni answered her.

"With fans?" Sonny repeated.

Tawni nodded, "They'll be throwing themselves at him."

Sonny bit her bottom lip, trying to concentrate. Doing this would be completely wrong but she would do it. 'So Random' deserved it, right?

"Okay," She relented, "I'll do it. You will need to help me though."

"Easy," The blonde proclaimed as she whipped out her cell phone and began typing a message, "Done."

"What do you mean done?" Sonny asked her.

"I just sent a message to a friend that runs a gossip site. He will tell fans around our age to go to your apartment at around eight pm tonight." She beamed.

"Tonight?"

Tawni nodded, "Why waste time? The sooner we bring Chad Dylan Cooper down means we will know that we get that extra season of our show."

"You are evil, Tawni." Sonny laughed, lightly.

She knew it was wrong but it wasn't like she had feelings for Chad anymore anyway. They weren't even really that good of friends.

Tawni used Marshall's assistant to go out and buy all the necessaries to throw a party for that night.

He returned with them and put them all down on Sonny's side of the dressing room just as Sonny was about to leave to meet Chad at his car to go home.

She called Nico and Grady so they could carry them out for her.

"What if he objects to having a party?" Sonny asked as her and Tawni followed the boys out to the parking lot.

"It's Chad, as if he'd turn down a party. Anyway, it's technically your place too; you could just go complain to Mr Condor."

"I apologise if I ever have called you a dumb blonde before."

"I'm not just a pretty face." The aforementioned blonde grinned.

...

"What's all that stuff for?" Chad asked seeing Nico and Grady carrying a whole lot of things to his car.

"Well Pooper, they are for your wife." Grady replied, as Chad opened the boot of his car.

The two 'So Random' actors placed in all the party supplies and then said a goodbye to Sonny and Tawni g as they arrived to the car.

"What's all that stuff for?" Chad asked Sonny after she hugged Tawni goodbye.

"We are having a little get together tonight, it's just some food and drinks and stuff.

Chad assumed that a get together meant around ten people tops; oh how he was wrong.

...

Sonny nervously waited for Tawni to arrive a couple hours later. Nico and Grady were already over and were having a beer each with Chad. Zora was already over and was going through Chad's c-d selection, selecting some music that they would play that night.

"So how many more people are coming?" Chad asked her.

"I don't know exact numbers," The brunette admitted honestly, "We will find out when Tawni arrives with them."

Chad seemed satisfied with this and she heard Zora let out a small laugh. The cast of 'So Random' all knew what was going down tonight and all were equipped with their cell phones, ready to snap photos if need be.

Tawni arrived late, as usual, opening the front door a little just so she could stick her head in, "Hey everyone, I've brought some friends. Hope you don't mind."

She opened up the whole door and a bunch of girls around Sonny's age came flooding into the apartment.

Chad's jaw dropped open and Zora turned the music that had been playing up almost as loud as it could go, causing all the girls to begin dancing.

Sonny was amazed at how many girls were there; most of them were bottle-blondes in short dresses, too much makeup and with huge boobs.

"Did I do good or what?" Tawni asked her, yelling in her ear so Sonny could hear her.

"They all look like a bunch of skanks." Sonny pointed out.

"Correction; they are a bunch of skanks who want nothing more to get into Chad Dylan Cooper's pants." Tawni said proudly.

Sonny made her way through all the girls and found Nico with a beer in his hand talking to a rather attractive blonde, "Where's Chad? You are supposed to be watching him." Sonny reminded her fashionable male co-star.

"I'm speaking to Melissa here." He replied rather coolly.

Sonny rolled her eyes and stormed off to see Chad talking to two blondes and a red head; all three girls were being quite flirtatious and Sonny spotted Zora nearby watching intently.

She grinned and made her way over to Zora as one of the blondes placed a hand on Chad's arm as she battered her eyelashes at him.

Chad gave the girl a charming smile and Zora pulled out her cell phone as the other two girls walked off, leaving Chad alone with the other one.

"He's going to cheat!" Zora exclaimed.

"Something a wife usually would not want to hear." Sonny joked.

Chad said something in the girl's ear which made her giggle and flip some hair over her shoulder.

"She is so fake, totally Chad's type." The youngest member of 'So Random' declared.

Sonny couldn't agree more.

Sonny watched as the two danced together a bit, occasionally leaning in to say something into the other's ear.

It was around fifteen minutes later when Chad placed a hand on the girl's back and led her over to the couch so they could sit down together.

Sonny and Zora made their way closer over to them to get a better view, where they were met by their other female co-star.

"Has he shoved his tongue down her throat yet?" The blonde asked perkily.

Zora laughed at this, "Classy, Tawni. But no, he hasn't...yet." She grinned mischievously.

The three actresses watched them intently for a while, they all had their cell phones out ready to snap a photograph if necessary.

Finally the moment that they had been waiting for arrived; they saw the 'Mackenzie Falls' actor start to lean into the blonde. He was actually going to kiss her.

Sonny had to bite her bottom lip in excitement so she wouldn't scream; she knew Zora and Tawni would be doing the exact same thing.

One thought went through Sonny's mind.

Hello extra season of 'So Random'.
