Hey guys! HAPPY CANADA DAY! Oh damn...actually it's like 11:58 so when yoou read this is will no longer be July 1st, but still. Saw some awesome fireworks tonight and ALMOST DROPPED MY IPOD INTO LAKE ONTARIO. It was terrifying. Anyway, I have a special challenge for you to celebrate this totally awesome holiday. I want you all to tell me what the first thing that pops into your head is when you hear the word "Canada". You can be totally honest. It doesn't even have to be relevant. Just first word that pops into your head. If it's "Assholes" that's fine. If it's "rice cakes" that's okay too. Anything goes. Okay well here's the chapter. Oh one more thing. A lot of people are giving me greif for "coming out" as a Lily and Snape shipper. My advice to you. SUCK IT! I'm just kidding. I love you all! I FIND all of you amazing. OH NO! I"M TURNING INTO A HUFFLEPUFF! THE HORROR! What happened to my Slytherin badassness? Yea, i took a quiz and it said I'm in Slytherin. At first I didn't believe it, but now I think it might make sense. I used to be like "NNOOOO!" but now i'm cool with it. They aren't all racist bastards like malfoy. Anyway..,.,k read now.


Chad's POV

"Cool party, Tawn," I said, sitting down on the couch between her and Sonny and grabbing a beer off the coffee table. Tawni snatched it away from me and I rolled my eyes.

"You are so paranoid," I commented.

"Better safe than sorry," she countered, setting the can of beer back down.

"Let me guess, you were planning on secretly giving me ginger ale instead of champagne?" I joked.

"N-no," Tawni stammered, smiling sheepishly.

"Seriously, Tawni?" I asked.

"Mommy, Daddy, is it midnight yet?" Ellie asked peering around the corner.

"Not for another fifteen minutes," Sonny answered. "I'll come upstairs and see if you're still awake a couple minutes before twelve. No go back to bed and try to sleep."

"I don't want to sleep," she said, jumping up and down excitedly. "I want to be at the party when it's 2021."

"Well, if you're up, I'll come get you," she promised. "Now go back to bed or there's no way you're coming down at midnight."

"Okay," she said, sadly. "Love you Mommy and Daddy." She hugged us both and went back upstairs to her bedroom.

"Hey, Chad, wanna get some more chips from the cupboard?" James asked as he rocked a crying Lily who had been woken up by all the noise. So much for soundproof rooms.

"You're on your own, man," I answered. "I said you and Tawni could throw this party at my house if you guys did all the work and I'm not going back on that."

"Come on, dude," he begged. "I've got Lily and the Doritos are all gone and-"

"Ask your girlfriend," I cut in. Tawni rolled her eyes and stood up.

"I've got it," she said, walking into the kitchen. When I was sure she wasn't watching anymore, I grabbed another beer, opened it and took a few big gulps before Tawni returned with the chips. Sonny laughed and shook her head.

"Did you just drink that beer?" Tawni asked, emptying the bag of chips into a bowl.

"Of course not, Tawni," I answered, trying to sound innocent. "Would I do something like that?"

"Yes, Chad, you would," she answered, rolling her eyes. "Whatever. I'm too exhausted to argue with you anymore. Knock yourself out."

"Yes!" I exclaimed, taking another sip of beer.

"Not the best way to convince her you're not an alcoholic," Sonny joked.

"Well, I have a right to enjoy the party as much as anybody else," I defended myself. "At least I'm not doing that." I gestured towards Nico and Malena who were doing shots in the kitchen and giggling like idiots. "Or that." I said, glancing over at Zora and Grady who were awkwardly dancing to a song I'd never heard before while attempting to make out at the same time.

"At least they're having fun," Sonny commented. "And that last one doesn't look so bad to me."

"You want to make out with Grady!" I exclaimed, choking on my beer. Sonny stifled a laugh.

"I meant with you," she clarified, crawling onto my lap and kissing me.

"Get a room, guys," James shouted at us.

"Get a life, James," I countered. I put my arm around Sonny and let her rest her head on my shoulder.

"You're the best boyfriend ever," she said, closing her eyes. Boyfriend. Something about the word seemed wrong. We weren't kids anymore, we were parents. Sonny was more than just my girlfriend, she was the mother of my child. And here we were about to try for a second kid. It just seemed like I should be more than just her boyfriend. It made everything seem so temporary. And I was confident I wanted to be with Sonny forever.

"Sonny," I said. She opened her eyes and looked up at me.

"Yea?"

"I was just thinking," I began. "Well, we're parents now and...like...Tawni and James are too and they're engaged...and then Malena and Nico are married now and...I don't know, I just feel like...you're more than just my girlfriend. You're the love of my life and I want us to be a real family. I don't know...I just-"

"Are you asking me to marry you?" Sonny asked, suddenly alert.

"Wait...what?" I asked. "A-am I? I'm...what?"

"It's a simple question, Chad," she said.

"I...I'm not sure really," I confessed. "If I did, what would you say?"

"Why don't you ask me and find out?" she said, winking.

"Umm...okay," I said, taking a deep breath. "Okay, here it goes. I...umm..." Dammit, Chad! Ask her! Why did I always have to choke at all the wrong moments?

"Sonny Monroe," I began, my voice sounding a bit shakier than I would have liked. "Will you...uh...will you marry me...please?"

"You guys, it's almost midnight!" Tawni announced, pointing at the clock.

"10. 9." Nico chanted. Everyone else joined in.

"8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0." The room exploded with cheers and 'Happy New Year's. Sonny just crushed her lips against mine.

"In case you were wondering," she said, pulling away. "That was a yes."


If you didn't see that coming, don't worry about it. I just kind of tacked it on as an afterthought. I have gotten to the point where I'm pretty much just winging it and having everybody get married. i really need some new inspiration. Anyway, speaking of awesome...or not speaking of awesome really...O_o...I've discovered my new favourite youtuber (aside from starkidpotter of course) Huffley6 makes AVPM/S versions of a bunch of songs so if you're a fan of the musical, you've got to check out her (or his, i guess...i always imagined him/her as a her...) videos. A few of my favourites are...

Lupin will make a man out of you (Great Song from Mulan and it all just fits together really well)

Kiss the girl, dammit! (Simply because of the part where it's like "There you see her", (s)he put the clip from AVPS where Ron see's Hermione and he's like "OH MY GOD! NIGHT TROLL!" and it never fails to crack me up!)

And finally, the amazing "Is Voldy Gay or European?" (Spoiler alert! He's gay AND European!) Seriously, check it out!

Oh and also, any hairspray-harry potter fans should definitely look up "Good Morning Voldemort!" It's a parody of "Good Morning Baltimore" and it's posted by weareactualsize. Cracked me up.

So that's it. Oh, but if you haven't seen them already, the potter puppet pals are amazing. One time, I came downstairs and said to my mom "I feel cranky and pubescant today and I don't know why! I'm gonna take it out on people I like!" and she was like O_o -wtf? That's from "Wizard Angst" btw if you don't know the PPP. One of my personal favourites. Also, the mysterious ticking noise, Harry's nightmares, the one with the draco malfoy puppet (can't get that damn song out of my head) and the vortex is kind of funny too. The end of ron's disease is hilarious too. Dumbledore: Yes I'm an android. A gay android! (Dramatic music. curtains close) Sorry, you're probably sick of hearing about this. Anyway...peace out suckahs/
