A/N: First of all, I'd like to thank 'SWACfan8649' for motivating me to get off (err… on) my lazy bum and finish this chapter. She pointed out that it's going on a month since I've updated. About that… I AM SO SORRY!!!
My Nonna (that's Italian for Grandmother), has been extremely sick lately, and I've been preoccupied by cleaning her house. So, yeah that's my excuse. *shy smile*
Okay so I think ya'll will really like this chapter… I know I do!
This Chapter is dedicated to Selene Melia(hey sorry if I spelled that wrong, it's purely from memory, something of which I don't have the best, and yeah I'm too lazy to go on my email and look at your name.) for being my favorite reviewer, and giving me the best story ideas ever!! *claps wildly*
This chapter idea actually came from two sources. The idea of Sonny getting stung in the neck was Selena Melia's. But how she reacts and all that is actually from a personal experience. When I was 10, I got bit by and ant (I'm deadly allergic) on my hand, and I reacted the same way as Sonny. I didn't go to the hospital… but that's a story for another time.
Disclaimer: Yes I own Sonny With A Chance. I also own Bank of America, I am a millionaire, and I live in a pleasant little cottage on the moon. COME ON!!

Chapter 3: Flowers, and a Note
CHAD
I was freaking out here, freaking out! I didn't know what I could possibly do next for Sonny, and I was due to do something today! I sat down on the couch in my dressing room, and sighed. Brainstorm Chad, brainstorm! It wasn't working though. My brainstorming I mean. I couldn't come up with anything so, of course, I went to the person whom I went to only when I was in desperate need of her advice on girls. She was the best because, well, she was one.
"Portlyn! Code Red! I need your help!!" I called frantically to her closed dressing room door. She opened the door and took one look at me before sighing and pulling me inside her room.
"What Chad?" She asked annoyed.
"I don't know what to do for Sonny now! I took her ice skating yesterday—"
"You did what? Chad you don't know how to ice skate."
"I do now. Anyways, it completely backfired on me and we ended up getting kicked out because I kept on running into people—don't ask—and now I need a plan that won't backfire on me!" I cried frantically.
"How about flowers?"
"Flowers?" I repeated.
"Flowers." Portlyn stated.
"But what kind?" I asked.
"How about yellow roses, white orchids, and a couple daffodils?" Portlyn suggested.
"Why those?" I asked.
"Because yellow roses mean everlasting love, orchids mean adoration, and daffodils mean undenying love."She stated from memory.
"That's perfect!" I exclaimed, "Thank you Portlyn!!" Portlyn nodded, before turning toward her mirror to apply lip gloss; my cue to leave.
Flowers… I need to order flowers… Yellow roses, white orchids, and daffodils to be exact. Oh I know! A phone book!
I flipped through the phone book looking for F for 'Florist'.
"D… d… d… e… e… f!" I muttered to myself, "Finally! Fence… financial…floor… oh here we go. Florists. Okay, now I need same day delivery. Huh… what's this? 'Bee-utiful Flowers Today' huh… I think I'll go with that."
I proceeded to dial the number, and order a bouquet, with ten of each flower kind. They asked if I wanted a note with that, so I told them just to put the definitions of each flower, and sign my name. I was positive Sonny would adore my gift. Absolutely positive.

***SONNY***
"SONNY MUNROE FLOWERS FOR YOU AT THE FRONT DESK" a deep male voice crackled over the intercom. I scrunched up my face. Who would send me flowers? Just as I thought this, Tawni voiced my exact thoughts aloud.
"Sonny, who would send you, flowers? Unless…" Tawni looked to be deep in thought for a second, "No it couldn't be." She brushed off her thought.
"Couldn't be what?' I asked, confused.
"No, no nothing." Tawni replied distantly.
"Tawni!" I whined, "What is it?"
"It couldn't be… well James Conroy again, could it?" Tawni asked cautiously.
"No! Tawni, I can't believe even you would think that!" I exclaimed. Tawni rolled her eyes and sighed deeply.
"Well, you can't really blame me for wondering Sonny." Tawni stated matter-of-factly, putting her hands on her hips, and tilting her head to the side as if to say, 'Duh Sonny'. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever, I'm going to go get the flowers and see who they actually are from." I replied walking out of the room.
SWACSWASWACSWACSWACSWAC
"'Yellow Roses: Everlasting Love, White Orchids: Adoration, Daffodils: Undenying Love, Love, TV's Chad Dylan Cooper.' Awww how sweet! Chad sent me flowers with the most adorable meanings!" I cooed after reading the card attached to the beautiful bouquet. Tawni made a face.
"Awww how repulsive!" she replied in a mock imitation of my coo. I sent her a glare. She glared back for a little bit, but then her face changed.
"Umm Tawni, what do you see behind me that is making you so terrified? Is it the fact that I got flowers from my wonderful boyfriend who loves me and you didn't?" I asked in mock sympathy.
"EW no! I don't want flowers from your wonderful boyfriend that loves you!" Tawni replied with a squeak, "It's just that I see a bee in the flowers and I'm kind of afraid of bees."
"WHAT?!? A BEE?!?! OH NO I'M ALLERGIC TO BEES!!!!" I screamed and flailed my arms around. Tawni tried to swat the bee away from me, but our crazy flailing made the bee aggravated.
"AHHH!!! TAWNI!! KEEP IT AW—AHHHH MY NECK!!!!!!" I screamed as the bee made a beeline (A/N: No pun intended.) for my neck and stung me hard.
***CHAD***
Hmmm… I wonder what all the commotion coming from Sonny's dressing room is. She's probably just screaming from excitement for my wonderful present. I popped my collar at the thought. I walked up to Sonny's dressing room door and opened the door.
"Knock kno—what's wrong?!" I exclaimed when I saw Sonny curled up on the floor clutching her neck, and wailing in pain with Tawni by her side trying to comfort her. Sonny glared up at me.
"What do you want? Don't you know I'm allergic to bees?!?!?!?!?" She yelled at me. I chuckled.
"Sonny, it's not like I actually sent a bee in the flowers. Really Sonny? Really? I mean just because the flower company is called bee-utiful flowers—oh my gosh. There was really a bee wasn't there?" I asked noticing that Sonny wasn't laughing and saying, 'just kidding it was just a joke' like I thought she would. Instead she was still clutching her neck, tears gathering behind her eyes. It was easy to see that she wasn't faking.
"Oh my goodness Sonny, I'm so sorry I didn't realize you weren't kidding! I thought you were joking because of the name of the flower dealer!" I exclaimed crouching down by her side.
"Whatever Chad. You should have given Sonny the flowers yourself. Then none of this would be happening. So much for him being a 'wonderful boyfriend' Sonny." Tawni exclaimed scolding me, "Now, sonny. What are you supposed to do when you get stung by a bee?" she asked
"Sonny, can I see if it's swollen?" I asked trying to gently move her hand. She had told me about how when she gets bee stings, first the sting swells up, and then she gets hives all over. Not good. She harrumphed and moved her hand a little. I saw that where should have only had a small little red bump, she had a huge hive that was bright red, and was getting visibly bigger by the minute. I inhaled sharply.
"Sonny, didn't you say once that a doctor told you to get to the hospital immediately if you ever got stung on the neck because hives could form in your throat and suffocate you?" I asked concern covering my face, and sounding audibly in my voice. Sonny nodded weakly.
"Tawni, call nine-one-one. Now." I commanded. Tawni obediently dialed the emergency number.
SWACSWACSWACSWACSWAC
The ambulance finally arrived after much of me telling Sonny it was being okay, that I was sorry, and that if she wanted I would never send her flowers again, for fear of this happening again. She told me that she loved the flowers (as they put her on the gurney), and that next time, she just wanted me to deliver them to her herself. She didn't sound so good anymore, because, she said, the hives were indeed forming in her throat as the doctor said they would. I was getting really worried, and feeling really guilty. This was my entire fault!!
On the way to the hospital, I was freaking out. Thank God I got to ride with Sonny, because if I didn't I think I would have hyperventilated, or fainted, or something else embarrassing. Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't faint. Chad on the other hand has a harder time keeping his cool.
SWACSWACSWACSWACSWAC
After hours, or so it seemed, in the waiting room, a nurse finally came out and called my name.
"Chad Dylan Cooper?" she called looking up from her clipboard, trying to hide her excited eyes,
"Yes? How is Sonny?" I asked frantically.
"Oh she'll be fine. She's on some medication to help her recover from her hives, but she should be perfectly fine in a day or so. There may be some scaring from the hives, but other than that there'll be no trace of this ever happening." The blonde nurse stated with a smile. I smiled back a little.
"Well… can I see her?" I asked impatiently.
"Oh, right." She responded scowling a bit before leading me to Sonny's room.
***SONNY***
I sat in the hospital waiting for Chad. I had asked the blonde nurse who wouldn't stop glaring at me to go get him. I wanted to tell him I completely forgave him, because I knew he didn't mean it. I felt sorry for getting mad, and he was probably afraid I was still cheesed off. Then I had a thought; this would be perfect. Chad thought I was mad at him, which basically meant that Chad would do anything to get back on my good side. After a bit of thought, I decided to milk it. You know, make Chad suffer. I smirked to myself; Zora would be so proud.
"Hey Sonny." Chad said shyly entering the room. I crossed my arms and put on my 'I am not pleased' face. He took one look at my face, and the worry lines on his forehead increased. I almost felt bad, but this was too much fun.
"Hi." I said glumly. I was so happy that the giggles in my mind were not showing on my face, or at least I assumed they weren't by the way Chad wasn't showing any relief that I wasn't upset.
"So… look Sonny I am so sorry. I—" I cut him off.
"You don't need to apologize again Chad." I replied brusquely. Chad heaved a sigh of relief.
"So you forgive me?" he asked tentatively.
"Nope." I replied.
"Well, then why don't you want me to apologize?" he asked looking exasperated.
"Because I don't want to hear it. I want to see it." I said abruptly. He looked confused for a brief second before recognition dawned on his face.
"So, you want me to make it up to you?" he asked. I nodded, "How?" he questioned.
"I don't know, you decide." I replied crossing my arms. His forehead crinkled in thought. Then a light bulb went on, so to speak.
"I'll be your personal slave for the rest of the day." He replied his head held up high. I smirked. I was glad he had chosen that because that would be fun for me.
"Okay. Deal." I replied, "Now when am I getting out of here? Do you know?" I asked. He shook his head. I pressed the button to page the nurse.
"What do you need Miss Munroe, oh hi Mr. Cooper." the blonde nurse who had been glaring at me the whole time said putting on a flirty smile when she said Chad's name. Now I get why she was glaring at me….
Chad rolled his eyes before answering her.
"Yeah, hi. When can Sonny and I leave?" he asked sounding, to my pleasure, quite annoyed with miss flirty-face.
"Hold on, let me check with the Doctor." She replied, her face falling when Chad said 'and I'. I smirked at her as she left.
"Okay Chad. First, I want to go and get some frozen yogurt, and then I want to go to the park. Marshall already called to tell me that we're both excused from work for the rest of the day me because of what happened, and you because Mr. Condor thought you might want to stay with me." I said as soon as flirty-face left. Chad nodded.
"Okay, we can do that. Which park?" Chad asked. I thought for a minute.
"North Hollywood Park. I love that park! It's so big and green!" Chad nodded in agreement.
Finally, flirty-face came back. She sent a glare in my direction before putting on her flirty face and telling Chad that I could leave anytime I wanted. I rolled my eyes. Chad thanked her, reluctantly, and tried to help me out of the hospital bed, but I slapped his hands away.

After a bit of a drive, we finally turned onto Magnolia Boulevard, which was the street the park was on. As soon as the car came to a halt, I immediately jumped out and walked over to the nearest bench. Chad followed me. I sat down, and Chad followed my lead.
"Sonshine, what are we going to do here. Just sit?" Chad asked. I gave him a look and he immediately shut up. I snickered to myself. I leaned my head on Chad's shoulder, and sighed in satisfaction. Chad reflexively put his arm around me. We sat like that for the next half hour before Chad asked me if I wanted to walk down the path with him. I said that I did, and he took my hand and we walked.
"Sonny? Do you love me?" Chad asked sounding slightly insecure. I cuddled into his side more before responding.
"Of course I lo—" I caught myself just in time. I saw what he was trying to do; he was trying to trick me into letting him win the bet! "Of course I eight-three-one you Chad!" I replied smirking. Chad huffed and let go of my hand to put his arm around me. I giggled. He couldn't fool me! I had my mind set to win this bet, and when I set my mind to something, nothing gets in my way.
