SEQUELSEQUELSEQUELSEQUEL!!

Okay, so, if you haven't guessed, this is the sequel to "For What It's Worth." I hope everyone likes it, and don't worry: if you haven't read the first one, I give a little synopsis of it in the chapter, so you'll understand everything.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!!

Chad Dylan Cooper held Sonny Munroe's hand tightly, rubbing soothing circles with his thumb over her soft skin. They were sitting on the couch in Sonny's dressing room on a late Thursday afternoon, discussing their new relationship and how they would break it to the others.

Haha, oh right, some of you aren't so caught up on this story, are you? Well, let me explain…

A while back, Sonny and Chad told each other they liked one another. And I'm not talking "Oh, hey, I'm so glad we're friends," 'like each other'. I'm talking stomach flips, weak knees, and inability to speak 'like each other'. But of course, Chad was dating Portlyn at the time, which did not bode well with Sonny. So, Sonny told him to choose. Bad mistake, because Chad chose Portlyn. Not because he liked her, no, but because she boosted his career. This didn't surprise Sonny, but obviously she was upset. Still, Chad said that he and Portlyn would only be together until the end of the season. But in a strange twist of events, Portlyn announced (well, not really announced, because everyone found out through the tabloids) that she was pregnant. Boy, did that throw everyone for a loop. Everyone began to think the baby was Chad's, which was not true. Even Sonny freaked out. So, Chad eventually told Sonny it wasn't his, which Sonny couldn't be happier about. Unfortunately for Sonny, Chad had decided to wait until the real father arrived for Portlyn before he could go with Sonny, and asked Sonny to wait for him. Sonny agreed, but that very day a new guest star on So Random! arrived. Pearce Connery. Gorgeous, kind, funny; basically everything a girl could dream of, even Sonny. Pearce asked Sonny on a "not-a-date-if-you-don't-want-it-to-be," to which she agreed. Chad caught them and, being Chad, went all "Drama King" on them. The next day, Chad snuck into Pearce's dressing room before rehearsal and punched him the face…twice. That's our Chad, right? Too bad he was caught in the act by none other than our Sonny Munroe. After that little incident, the two stopped talking to each other completely. As if to add to Sonny's heartbreak, what with missing Chad with every fibre of her being, Sonny walks in on Tawni and Pearce kissing like there was no tomorrow. So Sonny ran. Luckily enough, Chad Dylan Cooper found her hiding in the stairwell, and this and that happened, and what do you know? They're together.

This brings us back to the story at hand…

"What should we do?" Sonny asked quietly, snuggling close into Chad's chest. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head lightly.

"We should just tell them, Sonny," he answered. Sonny shot straight up, and Chad let his arms drop.

"Chad!" she practically shouted. "We can't just tell them out of the blue! That's so…so…"

"So Random?" Chad laughed at his little joke, but dropped his smile when he realized how serious Sonny was.

"Sonny, please, everything will be fine," he said. He tipped Sonny's chin up with his fingers and softly brushed her lips with his. This sent chills through Sonny's spine and caused Chad's heart to pound out of his chest. Hungry for more, Chad pressed his lips harder against hers, and Sonny ran her fingers through his hair. Sonny fell back on the couch and Chad placed his hands on either side of her, holding himself up.

Suddenly, Chad stopped.

"What?" Sonny asked, practically panting. "What is it?"

"I heard something…" Chad stood up and looked around. Sonny listened too.

All of a sudden they heard a quiet zzzzzzooooo, like a machine running, and a hushed laugh. The two began exploring the room, looking for anything that could be making that sound.

"Could you two please move closer together? You're not in the same frame anymore…"

The vent screen burst open and Zora's mischievous face appeared. When Sonny and Chad looked, Zora waved her iPhone and said, "I saw everything. You two are so busted. This is going straight to Sharona…"

"Zora, no!!" Chad and Sonny yelled in unison. But it was too late. Zora had pressed send, and they video of the two lovebirds kissing was sent around the world in an instant.

"Bye," Zora said, closing the vent screen.

Sonny hid her face in her hands. "Oh my God, I can't believe it."

Chad rushed over to her and hugged her tight. "Well, now you won't have to worry about telling anyone…" he mumbled into her hair.

Gerard Henderson rustled through the chaotic mess of Mackenzie Falls scripts, documents, and files in a useless attempt to organize them. The Mackenzie Falls producer usually kept things tidy in his well-kept office, but the one time he opened the window near his desk, there were thirty mile per hour winds. Lovely.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The producer's phone got his attention and he immediately dropped everything and picked it up. His phone was like the child he never had; it meant everything to him. He kept meetings and appointments scheduled in its high-end database and every bit of information he needed for his show was stored in it's little, reliable microchip.

Now, he got an e-mail. The subject? Chad Cooper + Sonny Munroe = 3?

His Chad Dylan Cooper? The star of his hit television show? The tween heartthrob? Gerard opened the e-mail without hesitation.

A video immediately began to play.

"What really goes on behind the scenes," a small, creepy child-like voice whispered. It echoed through the walls of where she was hiding, and by the lines that crossed the screen, he assumed it was a vent.

He saw Chad with his arm around a brown-haired girl. They seemed to be talking, and Gerard started to think this was a waste of time. So Chad had his arm around a girl? What else is new?

Then they kissed, and Gerard's mouth gaped open. Who was this girl?

The kiss became heated, and soon Chad seemed to be holding his weight above the brunette, kissing her passionately. It was like a train-wreck to Gerard; it was a terrible situation to watch, but his couldn't take his eyes off of it.

The girl recording laughed manically, and Chad stopped. He said a few words before he and the girl stood up. Gerard recognized the girl immediately: So Random!'s Sonny Munroe.

Whoa! Sonny Munroe? They star of their rival show? Gerard's eyes widened at the realization. Surely the two couldn't be seeing each other! It just wasn't right. It couldn't happen. They were enemies. Drama versus comedy.

Sonny and Chad began walking around, and the girl's laughter increased in volume. Suddenly, the vent screen disappeared and the girl chuckled lightly.

"I saw everything," she said. "You two are so busted. This is going straight to Sharona…"

Sharona, the lead celebrity gossip columnist? Gerard froze. This video would soon be posted around the world! What could this do for his ratings?!

"Zora, no!!" Chad and Sonny shouted, and then the screen went black.

Gerard flopped into his seat, breathing a deep sigh. This was terrible. This little video could ruin Mackenzie Falls forever. Chad Dylan Cooper's reputation could go down the drain. Gerard had to figure a way out of this, and he had to do it fast.

x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

Chad and Sonny had stayed in the dressing room after Zora left, afraid to venture out into the halls. Everyone would have seen the video by now, and they were scared to think of what might happen.

Just as Sonny nestled herself into Chad's arms, the dressing room door flew open, and the two shot up in panic.

Nico, Grady, and Tawni stormed in, all looking very angry. Chad and Sonny stood up, and Chad gently guided Sonny behind him in an automatic response to protect her.

Sonny laughed. "It's fine, Chad. They're my friends." She looked at Nico and Grady, but glared at Tawni. "Well, most of them."

Sonny was still pissed at Tawni for what had happened with Pearce. It didn't matter if Pearce was the biggest jerk on the planet; Sonny's trust in Tawni went down the drain, and it would take a lot to bring it back.

Sonny walked in front of Chad and said, "Hey guys, what's up?" Even though she very well knew what was up and why they were there.

"We just saw the video," Grady said. "What do you think you're doing, Sonny?" He glared at Chad, who resisted the urge to stick his tongue out at him.

"What do I think I'm doing?" Sonny repeated in surprise. Of all the people, she didn't expect Grady to be angry with what was going on. He was usually very supportive about what Sonny did.

"I don't like this Sonny," Nico said angrily, folding his arms in front of him and pursing his lips.

Sonny was taken aback. She knew they were rival shows, but she thought these people were her friends, and hoped they would be encouraging Sonny's happiness, not killing it.

"You don't have to like it," Sonny said sternly.

"We're your friends," Grady said. "Shouldn't we approve first before you go kissing some guy? Chad Dylan Cooper no less!" He emphasized Chad's name with disgust.

"Well, you're supposed to be my friends. But friends support each other. Friends want their friends to be happy. I am happy with Chad. I thought you guys, of all people, would be happy for me. But now I have to deal with you along with the rest of the world." Sonny grabbed Chad's hand in haste and headed towards the door.

Chad kept quiet, which was a wise decision on his part because Sonny was absolutely fuming.

"Where are you going?" Nico asked.

Sonny, without turning around, replied, "The Falls."

So, this is the sequel to "For What It's Worth." I hope I do it justice. Obviously, this is a multi-chapter. I couldn't just end it there! Haha, so please review, so I know choosing to write a sequel would be a good idea….

Peace, Love, and Rainy Days,
