"What do you mean? Eight cups?" I asked confused. "But we only had to finish three cups for this round."

Nico and Grady looked sheepish.

"Well," started Grady.

"The thing is..." added Nico.

"Chad convinced us to find out who is faster."

"So that we would know who gets to eat from the froyo machine first."

"So we had a mini competition."

"But we were both equally fast," continued Nico in an increasingly fast speed.

"And we both finished eight cups."

"At the exact same time!" they ended off with huge grins, as if expecting us to laugh at their stupidity.

"Eight cups? Eight whole cups of froyo before a competition that determines our reputation?" screamed Zora, looking like she wanted to rip them apart. "How naive can you two be? He was obvoiusly trying to trick you!"

Nico sighed. "Yeah, we know that now."

"We kind of figured that out when he started laughing," muttered Grady.

Suddenly, Zora whipped out her cold cut catapult and released a piece of cold cut each at the two clowns. "You guys are hopeless."

With that, she turned towards me, with her weapon of mass destruction aimed at me. Panicking, I put up my arms in a sign of surrender.

"Zora, stop aiming that thing at me!" I exclaimed in fear. "I have done nothing!"

"Yet," she said in reply. "But you are going to have to experience being covered in ice cold meat if you don't win in the final round. Got it?" she asked, giving me the evil eye.

"Yes madam!" I said, saluting her before making my escape.

CPOV

I was hiding behind the pillar, watching the weirdo scare my Sonny. Little did she know that she had nothing to worry about.

Sonny was making her way towards my pillar at top speed. Reaching out, I grabbed her arm, pulling her behind the pillar with me. "Weird girl giving you a hard time?" I asked with a sympathetic smile on my face.

"Firstly, huh? What weird... Oh. Zora as just threatening me so that I would win. And secondly, why on earth did you drag me here?"

"Oh. Ok. So that I could talk mah lady, duh."

"I am not your lady. Anyway, Cooper, I will be seeing you at the finals."

"Sure," I smirked, "but you will never beat me."

"What? I will beat you!"

"Right."

"Wanna bet?"

"Sure," I smiled, knowing that she was falling right into my trap. One that I came up with exactly seven seconds ago. Ahh, CDC doesn't just have the looks, he has the brains as well.

"Fine. If I win, you will give us our golf cart parking space back. And you should get us gourmet lunches as well. Oh, and stop ridiculing us," she listed.

"Fine and if I win, i have a demand as well."

"Oh yeah?" asked Sonny, grinning victoriously. "Bring it on."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Good."

"Good."

"I want a kiss from you," I stated, watching in satisfaction as her jaw dropped open in shock.

"What?"

"You heard me. I want you to kiss me if I win."

Sonny stared back at me blankly, as if she could not believe what I was saying. "Why would you even want that?"

I smirked at her expression. "Ahh, that's for me to know and you to find out."

"But-"

This was depressing. Sonny seemed to be really unwilling to kiss me. "You have nothing to fear if you are so sure that you will win, Sonny. What's the harm? Think about what you will be getting back when you win."

That seemed to do the trick. "Ok then. You're on."

"Good to know," I replied, before leaning in. "And I have something to look forward to," I breathed, giving myself an imaginary pat on the back as she shivered.

"See you soon, Sonny," I said before kissing her on her cheek. With a self-satisfied smirk in place, I turned, and went to join my cast mates.

SPOV

What just happened? I could have sworn that Chad had just kissed me on the cheek. The place his lips had come in contact with seemed to tingle.

But that was besides the point. What was more worrying was the bet we had just made. I had to make sure that I won the bet, or Zora would have my head.

What was disturbing though, was how I was tempted to lose just so that Chad would enact his side of the bet. Shaking the image out of my head, I turned back to go towards my cast mates, before remembering why I had been running away in the first place.

Mr Condor's voice suddenly boomed, stopping me from attempting to escape again. "Chad Dylan Cooper and Sonny Monroe, get your butts here, or you're fired!"

Making my way towards the two tables that were now set up, I noticed that Chad was already ready for the contest to begin. The two tables were placed in such a way that they faced each other with no gap in between. Grimacing at Chad, I slid into my seat, awaiting further instructions.

"Now, the two of you got to finish 5 cups of yogurt. The first one to finish gets the froyo machine for your cast. The loser loses nothing, sadly, except for the chance to emo."

Chad winked at me. We were seated less than a metre away from each other, I could even look into his cup if I leaned forward slightly. "Remember the bet," he murmured.

I turned to look at my cast. Tawni was ignorant as usual, while the guys just looked guilty. Zora was the only one who was focusing on me. When she saw me looking at her, she just smiled in an encouraging manner. All signs of glares and threats were gone, and I was more determined to win just to make my cast feel happy.

"Your time starts... NOW!"

At that, I started shovelling froyo into my mouth. I had to beat Chad! Why on Earth would I want to lose and get kissed by him? Looking up, I saw him almost finishing up his first cup. I had to hurry!

Concentrate, Sonny! I continued spooning and swallowing at the fastest rate I could, pausing only to breathe. "Go, Sonny! You can beat that Goldfarb!" cheered my team.

I was now at my third cup, only spoonfuls away from Chad. It was amazing how much effort he was putting in. There were drops of froyo on his tie, but he did not seems concerned. He must really want that kiss, even though it did not make sense.

All of a sudden, Chad looked up, and smirked at me. Shucks. He had just caught me staring at him while stuffing my face. I looked back down.

"Hurry, Sonny! And stop looking at that guy!"

Chad got his fifth cup, just seconds before I was done with my fourth. Ugh. I had to eat faster. Despite the painful brainfreeze that I was currently experiencing.

Fifth cup! "Go, Sonny!"

Almost... almost. Suddenly, I heard the Mack Falls cast shouting. "What are you doing, Chad? Eat!"

I looked up to see him pausing with his last spoonful in his hand. There was a chance of me beating him if he insisted on staying that way. But that would be unfair.

"Chad, do you want to eat that?" I asked.

"Nah, it's ok. You go ahead," he said.

"But-"

"Shh, go on. Eat."

Fine, he was insisting. And who was I to deny anyone? However, a small part of me was disappointed.

Forcing myself to change the direction of my thoughts, I spponed yogurt into my mouth almost absentmindedly. Hmm, I was almost done with my fifth cup. One last spoon left.

Swallowing the last spoonful, I reached across to smack the buzzer - at the exact same time Chad did.

"Ok..." Mr. Condor began, sounding confused. It looks like both of the finalists finished at the same time." Both casts groaned at that. "So, I'm leaving it to you to decide among yourself to see who gets the machine." With that, he left.

Oh man, I was doomed.

CPOV

I should be named a genius for coming up with such foolproof plans. And then executing them perfectly. And now, sonny had no choice but to kiss me, especially when her cast hears my proposition.

"So, Sonny, we both won, huh?" I began. She just grimaced, looking like she would rather be tortured then left here with me.

Just then, both of our casts rushed over. "Chad! Why did you wait for her to get to her last spoonful before you ate yours?" demanded Martha.

"Yeah man, we could have totally won this thing," added Skyler.

I just smiled at them. "What on Earth would we do with a froyo machine? At least those two maniacs from So Random would find it useful."

Cloudy and Rainy just stared at me blankly, unlike my fuming cast, before they finally got it. "Really? Oh man. thank you!" They exclaimed before running off.

Sonny seems to be avoiding my gaze, however. Blondie and weird girl seemed to be waiting for me to continue, but my cast just stalked off. Ahh, heck them.

"So, remember our bet?" I asked. "We each wanted something if we won."

"Yeah," muttered Sonny.

"Well, I will agree to your demands. You will get your golf cart's parking spot back, along with gourmet lunches. And I will stop insulting your cast."

Sonny just nodded, while Blondie and weird girl squealed and jumped on the spot. "Thanks, Chad!" cried weird girl, before dragging Blondie away.

"So," I continued. "Are you going to give me what I asked for?"

Sonny peeked at me through her eyelashes. "Do I have a choice?"

"Not really."

"Well," she began, looking back down and biting her lip. I controlled myself.

She glanced back up at me. "You do have froyo on your mouth." With that, she leant across the table and captured my lips with hers.

And it was way better than I imagined. I lifted my hand to cup her blushing cheek, while I used the other hand to push the froyo cups and buzzer onto the floor. Grabbing her waist, I lifted her over the table and pulled her towards me.

Sonny wrapped her arms around my neck when she got close enough. We continued kissing until we had to break away to take a breath.

"Wow," I whispered, before placing a kiss on her forehead. "Thank you for that."

Sonny smiled back, before hopping down from the table and hugging me close. I wrapped my arms around her waist, eager to eliminate any space between us.

"Sonny?"

"Yes?"

"That was amazing."

"Yes, it was."

"But you should know something first," I said, lifting her chin up so that I could look at her warm brown eyes. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the confession I was about to make. "I love you, Sonny."

"Wow," she said, looking back down.

"It's ok if you don't feel that way, I will wait for you. I was always a jerk to you because I wanted to deny that I liked you. But love cannot be forced away. I will stay away from you if you want, but I just had to tell you before I panicked ag-"

Sonny cut me off with a peck on my lips again. "Yum, chocolate."

"Ok..."

"I love you too, Chad."

"Really?"

"Really."

"That's great. Want to kiss again?"

"Sure."

And that's how our two casts found us a few hours later.

The rivalry was soon eliminated, after I managed to convince my cast to be more polite and Sonny convinced her cast to stop pranking us.

And all was well at the Condor Studios.
