Hey-ho! We are back! Some people thought that last chapter WAS the last chapter. No, it wasn't, as you can clearly see. I will tell you when it gets close, and I hope that won't be for a long time. I'm hoping for this story to get to 40/50 chapters without people getting bored of it, that would be awesome!

Alrighty, then, well, let's get on with the chapter! :)

I (obviously) don't own SWAC, or I wouldn't be on this site. Or would I? No, I probably wouldn't. I also don't own the songs any of the countless songs in this chapter. I also don't own Tigger from Winnie The Pooh. I'm going disclaimer crazy here.

Chapter 31-Welcome Back, Channy!

Chad's POV

Ah, I love life.

That is, life with Sonny. That kinda life is good. And it's back, baby!

So, the Random boys were (surprisingly) right. Sonny did come back for me. We both had the same plan, and both our plans succeeded. As much as Sonny and I find the name demeaning, Channy is back! Or, more to our liking, Sonny and Chad are back. And, thanks to my little promise ring, nothing's gonna pull us apart this time.

We arrive back home, me opening the passenger door to let Sonny out, and she grins at me. She loves it when I do little things like that, especially when I say, "M'lady" while doing it. It makes her heart squeal, which makes me smile. These are just the little things that make us the perfectly-matched couple we are. When we don't have a dramatic fight or an incredibly romantic candle-lit dinner, we have small, cutesy moments that still make us adorable together.

"Finally," I say to her, putting my arm around her back, "A nice, quiet afternoon together. Just you and me and…"

I open the door, and cancel out my previous thoughts.

"…The whole of your cast, my cast, family and friends."

When we see the scene in my living room, it's like we've been away for years and have just arrived back to a welcome home party. All the people I mentioned are there (Note – I guess now Melanie is family, or step-family… still), food bowls and drinks are scattered across a bunch of cutesy decorated party tables. A banner reading "Welcome Back Channy" in Tawni's obviously glamorous and large writing is placed above everyone's heads. I was right – it is a welcome home party, if you think about it.

"Welcome back!" Everyone squeals, before we're surrounded (more like mobbed) by all our friends, family, work colleagues and just random neighbours and some other people I don't know the names of (I assume Sonny does though. I hope anyway. Otherwise, I wonder what the heck they're doing here).

"I wasn't gone for long." I laugh, and Tawni shrugs.

"But Sonny was!" She says, "And so was Channy."

I roll my eyes. Of course, Channy.

I watch Ferguson turn on a CD player and Dynamite by Taio Cruz comes on. Everyone starts dancing crazily on the dance floor (aka my living room) and Sonny and I laugh. I look at her, smiling.

"Shall we?" I offer her my hand and she giggles, taking the hand.

"We shall."

It's then when we start dancing like maniacs, saying hi to all the random people. Even Sonny's friends from Wisconsin – Maisie, Soph, Jessie, Annie, Lucy, and Callum – are here. How they got here before us, I have no idea. We only came from Colorado; they came from the other side of the country. Arr you wondering why I'm even talking to me? Sure, they kind of caused our break-up (especially Callum), but tonight, I'm just gonna let bygones be bygones and have fun. I guess that's the point of this whole party anyways.

Hey, even Selena Gomez is here. It was quite funny. The second she sees us, she walks up, grinning.

"I knew it!" She yells, "I knew it! But you didn't believe me, didja?"

Sonny giggles, "No, we didn't. You sure were right, Selena. We were wrong."

"Aw…" She beams as Sonny cuddles up to my chest, "It's moments like this when I love being right."

"And I'm glad you were right." I say, and Sonny beams, kissing me on the cheek.

"Double aw…" Selena coos, before squealing.

"And now…" Tawni says over the mic on the stage in the corner of the room, "We have a very special treat for you guys… Selena Gomez!"

Selena turns to face us, grinning.

"That's my cue!" She says, "You guys gonna stick around for my performance? Or do you wanna go make out?"

I roll my eyes, and Sonny laughs, "Of course we're sticking round, Selz. Big fan, remember?"

"I remember." She laughs, before heading towards the stage, beaming. "Heya everyone!" She says over the microphone, "These songs tonight are dedicated to a very special couple! You know who you are! You know now I was right! So this is for you!"

Sonny laughs. She likes Selena and her music, so I suppose having a Selena song dedicated to you by the girl herself is an honor. At that moment, a middle speed beat comes on, and Sonny grins.

"I love this one!" She grins, grabbing me and dancing round like a nut-job. Haha, but she's my dancing nut-job.

Then Selena starts singing.

I know
That my love for
You is real
It's somethin' true
That we do
Just somethin' natural
That I feel
When you walk in the room
When you're near
I feel my heart skips a beat
The whole world disappears
And there's just you and me
Falling head over feet
Let's take a chance, together

I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna make it
'Cause no one else can
Make me feel the way that you do
I promise you
I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna get there
Today, tomorrow,
And forever we will stay true
I Promise you

I grin when I see Sonny is singing along, looking right into my eyes, singing every word like she means it.

"I promise you too, Sonshine." I say, and she smiles, before looking down at her ring on her finger. She then looks back up at me, love in her eyes.

"I know." She says.

Sonny's POV

When we collide sparks fly
When you look in my eyes
It takes my breath away

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you
Know who you are and to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay-bay-baby

Naturally
Naturally
Naturally
Bay-bay-baby

Selena finishes singing her last song with a smile, the whole room erupts in cheers. Selena grins, curtsying like she's performing for the Queen of England, before pumping her fist in the air like she's performing at a rock concert.

"Thank you!" She grins, "Enjoy the rest of the evening! And remember, Sonny, Chad, you are awesome!"

I laugh, taking Chad into a huge embrace, and he smirks.

"You just can't keep your hands off me now, can you Sonny?"

"You caught me." I shrug. I laugh, before turning my head as a random band plays random party songs and people dance around us. "Can you see any other couples?" I ask Chad, "Or are we the centre of this universe?"

Chad shrugs, before I feel him smile. "Found one." He says.

I look over to the corner of the room where Maisie and Callum are sat on the couch, hugging. They then kiss softly. N'aw… that's cute. And I think Chad agrees. Either that or he's just glad that Callum is thinking of a girl that isn't me. Either way, I think they're adorable together. (A/N: Caisie? Mallum? I don't know… it's better than Canny/Sollum)

I then notice my cast dancing together, but Zora's focus isn't on the dancing. It's on the stairs. I smile – I bet she's hoping Josh makes an appearance.

"Look at that!" I grin, pointing to Zora, and Chad blinks.

"The younger Random looking at my staircase… what's the problem?"

I roll my eyes, "There isn't one, you goof!" I say.

"So, what's the not-problem?"

I squeal, "She's waiting for Josh! It's so cute! Young love! Remember being that young and in love with someone?"

"Nope." Chad says, popping the 'p'. "I was never in love till I met you."

My insides melt.

"Well, I was." I say, and Chad frowns a little, "Kinda… it was only a crush, so don't worry. He was no competition to you… but my point is, they would make an adorable couple!"

"But they're not a couple." Chad shrugs, "What are ya gonna do?"

He notices my 'let's help out' smile and jumps back like dodging a bullet.

"No!" He says, "Sonny, we are not getting involved!"

"Oh, come on!" I say, "Please?"

"Sonny, no." He says, heading over to the drinks table, and I follow him like an obedient lapdog, "We are not gonna Sonny It Up between my little brother and your weird friend... I thought you'd learnt your lesson from what happened with Wesley!"

I groan at the memory. Ah, yes, Wesley. That little jerk. He really was a mini Chad… well, a mini old Chad (old as in previous, not as in aging). And yes, I should've learnt my lesson by now. I thought I had… until I saw Josh and Zora together. Now, I'm in the meddling mood.

"I know what you're thinking." Chad says, and I blink.

"What?"

"You're planning how to Sonny It Up this time."

I sigh, "Chad. First – please stop calling it Sonny It Up."

Chad moans, "But everyone calls it Sonny It Up!"

I roll my eyes, "And second… I wasn't thinking that."

Chad huffs. "Sonny. Promise me you're not gonna meddle between my brother and Zora."

I moan, "Must I?" He nods. "Fine." I say, "I promise I won't meddle between your brother and Zora."

That doesn't mean I can't help them along a little…

Chad smiles, "Good girl. Now, come on… let's dance!"

We're dancing around in the middle of the dance floor like mad things when there's a knock on the door, and someone opens it to reveal Sara, grinning. She shoves through the crowd straight to Chad and I, not taking the smile off her face.

"O.M.G!" She says, "Guess what, Chad?"

"What?" Chad smiles.

"I got offered a recurring role in a new Condor Studios show! I have to go audition for the part in a few days! I'm so excited!"

Chad grins, "Aw, Sara, that's awesome! We'd be working at the same studio if you got the part!"

I smile. Sara did point out the first day we met her that she loved acting and was hoping for a role in something big. And Condor Studios is huge. Plus, with Chad and his family honor policy, he must be so proud. I know he always wanted Josh to go into acting, but when Josh made it pretty clear he didn't want to act, he wanted to find some form of a family member who could act as well as him. I guess, as Tigger has taught the world, it's tough being the only one (A/N: I had to do that :P). Sara may not be related to him by blood, but she's now related by love. Family is family, I guess.

A few hours go by, and before you know it, it gets to 9:30pm. Chad and I are getting tired, but it's obvious that no-one will go home until we sing ourselves. Chad is pushed up onto the stage, and he sings Hero by Sterling Knight and his own two songs, Hanging and How We Do This. A roar of applause comes along, probably because all those songs can be related to "Channy". Of course. That seems to be all anyone cares about now.

It doesn't bother me though.

Then Chad gets me up on stage, where I sing my own song What To Do, before singing a few Demi Lovato songs that I think reflects Chad and I perfectly…

First of all, Falling Over Me. I just find the storyline as a love story, love at first sight. Chad and I may have not had proclaimed love at first sight, but I'm pretty sure I fell for him even when I first met him.

Afterwards, Behind Enemy Lines – I think that one's quite self-explanatory.

Then Stop The World. It reminds me of when we weren't sure whether to let people know that we were together or not. I just wanted to get rid of all the pressure, the hate between our casts, and just… stop the world and love each other, no matter who judged us for it.

I got a standing ovation from the little crowd who had gathered themselves around the stage, which made me smile.

When all that mess is over, Chad pretty much kicks the last people out of the door, before turning back to face a room of me, Melanie, Chris, and Sara (Abby is already in bed and Josh stayed upstairs for the whole time).

"So…" He says, "Who's staying and who's going?"

"Well, we have a place." Chris reminds Chad, who nods.

"Of course." Chad says, "Is Sara going with you?" They nod, and at that moment, a twinkle shows in Chad's eye. Aw, I think he's excited for it to just be me and him, spending a few minutes together before hitting the sack.

Chris, Melanie, and Sara leave, and Chad pumps his fist in the air, thinking I didn't notice. He then walks over to the couch where I'm sat, slumping down and sitting next to me.

"Are you going home to your Mom?" He asks me, and I smile.

"Er, no, thanks." I say, "Unless you want me to."

"No!" He yells, before lowering his voice, "Sorry, I mean… I just wanna spend the time I can stay awake with you."

I smile, "Same here. Alright, I'll stay for tonight, and then you can take me home tomorrow, considering my car is still outside a café in Colorado, and that was my only escape." I say the last part in a cheeky tone.

Chad whacks himself on the head, "I totally forgot about that!"

I laugh, "Don't worry – you can take me there tomorrow morning. Now, I just wanna be with you."

Chad smiles, wrapping his arms around me, turning on the TV. We put on some random show than seems to be in Indian, and the parts we can understand (kinda) are extremely over-dramatic (so much it makes Mack Falls look like a comedy show), but we don't care. Just being in each other's company, talking, laughing, is fun. Especially when we run up to the stage and make our own two-man/girl band. Chad rocks on the drums, FYI. I start to think we may have woke Abby doing this, but then shake off the thought. Abby sleeps like a bear in hibernation – she'll be fine. Besides, she's four years old. She's no longer, as Chad and I call her, a 'baby girl'. I think Chad's thinking of getting her into some kind of day-care or kindergarten soon, which will be good for her, I'm sure.

It isn't long before we get tired of the instruments, retiring to the couch, and before long, I'm fast asleep. In my sleep, I dream of being kissed by Chad, and that makes me smile. I then hear him whisper "Sweet dreams, m'lady". I must be asleep in his arms.

This makes me grin hugely.

Chad's POV

Soon after our little jam on the instruments, Sonny falls asleep on my chest, and I laugh at the sight (in my head, I don't wanna wake m'lady!) before flicking over to the channel The Falls is usually on. It's not on, instead, a repeat of So Random. I grin, watching my Sonshine check some guy out like there's no tomorrow.

I am one lucky guy.

I look down at her sleeping head on my Chabs, kiss her head softly, and she smiles. I grin.

"Sweet dreams, m'lady."

Haha, I just had to put 'Chabs' in there...

Well, REVIEW! :D I have a few tricks up my sleeve yet... :D

P.S. - CrazieeBubbliee, that Indian TV show thing was for you. :D
