Chapter 2: Dates
Third Person POV
Sonny Munroe examined herself in her floor-length mirror.
She was so excited, Chad Dylan Cooper had finally asked her out. She'd had a crush on him since day 1 and sure they fought but deep down, she really liked him and couldn't believe she was about to go on her first date with him.
The outfit Sonny had chosen was; a red dress, a grey shrug and red heels. She still didn't think she looked anything special – especially next to Chad.
She was sitting down, daydreaming about Chad when there was a knock on the door.
Sonny opened it and gasped when she saw how perfect Chad looked standing there holding a single red rose.
"Ch...Chad", Sonny stuttered, "you look…incredible".
"No, Sonny", Chad put a finger to her lips, "I look terrible, compared to you, you look like an angel"
Sonny's heart fluttered and she blushed as she took Chad's hand and they walked to the limo.
Some time later, they arrived at a movie park, (one of those parks where they show movies on a big screen outside).
"Chad, this is perfect. I love these places", Sonny smiled her perfect smile and Chad felt himself light up.
They sat back as the movie started: it was 'Twilight'.
"Twilight? Chad, I love this movie and we're, like, the only ones here…wait a second, did you set this whole thing up?", Sonny asked Chad
"You caught me…I did", Chad blushed
"But how did you know that my favourite movie was 'Twilight'? Or that the candy you bought is my favourite? And how did you know that I love my popcorn to taste like chocolate?", Sonny asked rapidly
"I'd rather not say", Chad looked worried
"Don't worry, you can tell me", Sonny promised
"Well, I…I sorta asked your mom and she gave me some tips", Chad smiled sheepishly
"You mean you asked my mom and did all this…just for me?", Sonny asked shocked
"Yeah", Chad nodded uncertain as to what Sonny was going to say next.
"Chad, that may be the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me", She smiled so lovingly at him.
2 hours later they were stood outside Sonny's apartment saying goodnight.
"Chad, thanks for everything, I had an amazing time", Sonny grinned
"Not as amazing as the time I had. I think I enjoyed watching you recite the lines from the movie more than I enjoyed the real thing", he laughed.
Sonny laughed too.
"Goodnight", she smiled
"Goodnight", Chad whispered as his lips edged closer to Sonny's…
Suddenly Sonny pulled back.
"See ya tomorrow", she said as she dashed inside.
"Well that was weird", Chad said to himself, but he brushed it off as nothing.
*2 days later*
Sonny was in her apartment listening to music when she received a text from Chad.
It said:
Hey, Monroe, My girl xxx
I'm taking you out for date 2 tonight b ready at 4pm xxx
I'll be waiting.
Your blue eyed guy CDC xoxo
"Awww, I'm excited already!", Sonny screamed.
By 3.45 Sonny couldn't contain herself anymore she was practically jumping about the apartment , until the doorbell rang at 4pm sharp.
"I'll get it", Sonny yelled
She bounced to the door and opened it.
Chad smiled as he took in what she was wearing; a red top, black jeans and red converse. He also noticed her hair was straightened.
Sonny's face broke into a smile as she took in every perfect inch of his body, he was wearing jeans and a white top – he looked so hot!
He took her hand and they walked to the limo.
"I have to say – you look stunning", Chad laughed
"Well you look even better, in fact you look… hot!", Sonny burst out laughing.
"So where are we going?", Sonny asked
"You'll find out when we get there", Chad winked
Half an hour later they reached their destination.
"The Carnival? Chad I love carnivals!", Sonny exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him.
Chad smiled and walked over to the carousel and they rode a horse together.
Then they went on the ferris wheel but got stuck at the top. Unfortunately, Sonny was terrified of heights but fortunately it meant that she had to snuggle up with Chad and both of them loved that.
They went on a couple more rides before they went home.
Chad was about to kiss Sonny like their last date when she pulled away again.
He thought it was weird again but, like before, he brushed it off.
The Next day at 'Mackenzie Falls"
"Hey Portlyn", Chad smiled
"Hey Chad", Portlyn smiled back, ' its time to put my plan into action', she thought to herself.
"Wanna run lines?", Portlyn asked
"Um, sure", Chad said
"I'll start", Portlyn said
"Oh, Mackenzie are you sure you're just pretending?", Portlyn asked as her character Chloe
"Of course, Chloe, you know I only love you", he replied
"But it seems so real!"
"I know, but that's because I'm such a good actor"
"Are you sure Mackenzie, are you really?"
"Yes, I have her so fooled, I will crush her so bad, she will have to leave the falls"
"Oh Mackenzie"
"Oh Chloe"
Little did Chad know that Portlyn was taping the whole thing…
*The Next Day at 'So Random"
"Hey Tawni, can I borrow your black cardigan, you know the one with the belt?", Sonny asked
"Uh…kay. Wait why?", Tawni looked away from the mirror for the first time in 1 hour
"Coz I'm going to see Chad to ask when our next date is", Sonny replied
"Cool, where was your last date?", Tawni asked
"Oh, last night he took me bowling", Sonny smiled remembering how she had 'beaten' him, secretly she knew he had let her win.
"Have you kissed him yet?"
"Uh….uh…", Sonny stammered
"You haven't? Why not?"
"Well…well because, because I've never kissed a boy before!", Sonny admitted gingerly
Tawni looked surprised.
"Er.. why not?", she asked Sonny
"Because anytime I ever get close, I get nervous and backout", Sonny said
"Well next time he's about to kiss you, lean in and kiss him, just go with the flow", Tawni told her
"Oh…ok", Sonny replied
Just then Sonny's phone 'mooed'
"Excuse me", she said to Tawni
"Hello", Sonny answered her phone
"Hey", it was Chad
"Oh, what's up?", just hearing him made her feel like the worlds luckiest girl
"You, me, date no4, tonight, I'll pick you up at 7", he told her
"OK"
"See you tonight, Sonny", he smiled
"Bye"
*They both hung up*
*7pm That Night*
"Hey Chad", Sonny linked her arm with his as they left her apartment building
*In the limo*
"So will you tell me where we're going this time?", Sonny enquired
"Monroe, when will you learn? !'m never gonna tell you", Chad replied with a smirk
"Awww", Sonny pouted
"No, please don't be sad", Chad looked worried
Sonny tried not to smile, but then Chad realised she was faking the pout and he started tickling her.
"AARRGGHHH!", Sonny screamed whilst laughing uncontrollably
"Do you give up?", Chad smiled slyly
"NO! Never!"
"OK, well I'll just have to keep tickling you"
"OK…OK", Sonny said through ragged breahing, "I…give…up. Please…please stop!"
Chad laughed and surrendered
About half an hour later they arrived at a movie theatre called "Grandview Movies".
Chad opened Sonny's door and took her hand
"M'lady", Chad smiled
"M'man", Sonny replied
They entered the movie theatre, bought their tickets, candy, soda and popcorn. They were now going to the cinema screen when Chad turned to Sonny.
"Hey, erm you go in …I have to…er use the mens room, I'll catch up", he said
"Ok", Sonny went into the cinema screen
Sonny had found seats and was sitting down when she realised that she was the only one in there.
"Must be an old movie", she said to herself
All of a sudden a montage of pictures of Chad and Sonny appeared on the screen.
Then the real Chad appeared.
"Hey Son-shine, so this is our 4th date and I really like you. So I have a question; will you be my real official girlfriend?", Chad disappeared off the screen and came into the cinema with Sonny.
He sat down next to her and said; "So, will you?"
Sonny's face went from speechless to the biggest smile she had ever smiled.
"I would love to be", she answered
Chad's answering grin was maybe even bigger than Sonny's as he handed her a promise ring.
"Forever", he promised
Sonny leaned her head in close, Chad did the same, and, for the first time, they kissed.
For both the kiss felt like heaven, and neither one had ever been happier…
