(Sonny POV)

Boy and Bear Hugs:

There was a small family center I went to when I was younger. It had a restaurant and an arcade. I always enjoyed it. Sadly, when I was nine, it closed. I never realized the meaning of the sign. The sign had said, "Moving to Hollywood".

I arrived back at my dressing room after rehearsing the new Check-It Out Girls sketch. They were so popular that we made it a point to have at least one new Check-It Out Girls sketch per month. Tawni was following close behind me, squealing about how much she loved the sketch. I was trying to ignore her even though I loved it too. I walked over to my dresser to see a small folded card on it.

Lightly and elegantly written on top of it was "Sonny". I knew the handwriting. I could recognize it with my eyes closed. Written in the same elegant script inside was:

Sonny,

There is no need to dress up for our date tonight. A pair of jeans and a t-shirt will be just right.

Love,

Chad Dylan Cooper

My boyfriend…Chad Dylan Cooper. I still couldn't wrap my head around it. I loved how he was with dating though. He'd leave a small note with a hint and then surprise me. So far, it had been Japanese Hibachi, dinner on a boat, meeting his family, bowling, and swimming.

Tawni came over and read the note and smiled.

"See if he'll tell you this time," she said.

I followed what she said and left for the Mackenzie Falls set.

When I got there, they were filming a scene. The scene was between Chad and Alexa, better known as Mackenzie and Chloe.

"We can't be together," Mackenzie said.

"Yes, we can," I said giggling.

"That's not your line! Can we get a script…oh hey Sonny," he said, calming down.

"Hey," I said.

"That's five, everybody," Chad said and walked off set.

"So, are you going to tell me why I do not need to dress up for tonight," I asked.

"No, that would ruin the surprise. You know how I hate ruining surprises," he teased.

I smiled and hugged him. He slowly wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I can tell you one thing, though," he said.

"Yeah? What's that," I asked while I rested my head on his shoulder.

"You are going to love it."

"And how do you know that?"

"I spoke with your mom before I planned where I wanted to have it."

After I finished talking to him, I went back to my dressing room and Tawni was there already. Her eyes were crazed.

"Where have you been," she asked.

"Talking to Chad like you told me to," I said, confused.

"Oh. Remember the Tween Choice Awards?"

"Yeah, of course."

"The nominees have been up. The show is nominated for best show… against Mackenzie Falls."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. Don't you think that this could possibly harm your relationship with Chad," she asked.

"No, why you think that?"

As if on cue there was a knock on the door. I walked over to my door, where it had come from, and opened the door. Chad walked in, babbling something to himself. He started pacing around the room, babbling. I ran over to him and placed my hands firmly on his shoulders. I pushed him into the wall which was surprising because he was so much stronger than me. When his back slammed into the wall, he stopped babbling and started talking to me.

"Sonny, my cast just told me that my show is competing against your show for best show. This isn't going to work. Something within this is going to tear us apart," he said.

"Chad, it's not going to hurt our relationship. Don't you think that this is a little bit stupid," I asked.

He breathed out and said, "Yeah, your right. I just have to keep cool. I'll be picking you up at six tonight for our date."
"You sure you want to keep the location top secret," I urged.

"Positive. Just please, do not dress up. Remember what the note said. If you dress up for where we are going, people will stare at you," he said.

"People will stare at us no matter what. Remember that I am one of the stars of So Random! and you are the star of Mackenzie Falls."

He smiled and pushed off the wall and hugged me to him. I smiled completely content.

I got back to my apartment at 5:45. I was rushing home after I was kept later with the whole cast as we had to rehearse a new sketch that was added last minute. When I got home, my mom asked why I was freaking out and moving as fast as I was.

"Chad is picking me up in fifteen minutes for out date," I said and she instantly understood.

My mom understood Chad and I. It was like she was me. It was always meant to be and he knew it. All I knew was that I was in love with him from the beginning; I had no idea that he liked me or that we were meant to be together. Once he had asked me out, I had found we were soul mates. If anything ever happened to him and me, I would be devastated.

At exactly 5:59 I was ready to go. Then, at exactly six, there were three quick raps on the door. I ran to the door and when I ripped the door open, Chad was chuckling.

"Were you waiting at the door," he asked.

"No. I got out of the studio late and have been running around getting ready," I said.

He smiled and then called, "Mrs. Munroe, I'll have her back by 9:30."

We walked out and he drove me to the location. When we got there, my jaw dropped. We were at the family center I always went to as a child in Wisconsin. I was overwhelmed by explanation; the sign said, "Moving to Hollywood." This is where it now stood and I was here.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and said, "I told you you'd like it."

I span around very quickly and hugged him tightly.

"I don't like it… I love it," I said.

He chuckled and pulled out two game cards from his pocket.

"Put thirty dollars on each," he told the cashier who was hyperventilating from meeting Chad.

"Thirty dollars is what we are going to start with though if we need, more will be added," Chad whispered in my ear.

"Excuse me, Mr. Cooper," the cashier said.

"Um, that would be Mr. Dylan Cooper to you," Chad said.

"Okay, Mr. Dylan Cooper, this card has over twenty thousand points on it," she said, holding up a card that had a design that differed from all the rest. That was my card. The one I used as a child.

"You put all those points on my card," I whisper-asked him.

"No, you did," he said simply.

"I know this. How many points are on the other card," he then asked the cashier.

"Eleven thousand nine hundred ninety-seven," she said.

He then took the two cards and led me to the restaurant. The waitress was taking our order in almost an instant and then our food was there ten minutes later, perfectly cooked. As soon as we finished eating and dinner was paid for, we went out and played. Chad played a coin game where he kept winning one thousand tickets. I was at a machine near him. Then, he took me over to a huge wheel. He slid his card through the card reader and yanked the lever down, the wheel span rapidly on its axis. It landed on one thousand. He was on a role.

"How are you doing this," I asked.

"I am really good at these games. I am not a stupid actor. I do have a brain that works. That's why I am able to stay on my show," he explained.

I let it go. He walked me over to the prize counter after a while.

"Miss," he said.

The cashier from earlier was there.

"I would like that stuffed bear over there," he said.

"This bear," she asked.

He nodded, took the bear and gave her the card to scan. She took the points off his card. When he got his card back, he put it in his pocket and then gave the bear to me.

"This is for you," he said.

"Thank you," I said.

I hugged him with the bear in my arms.

Chad returned me back to my mother at exactly 9:30.

I got ready for bed and then I fell into my bed. I sat there for a few minutes, thinking about how perfect Chad was. Chad Dylan Cooper, the star of the tween drama series, Mackenzie Falls, was MY boyfriend. How thinks like that happen, I don't know but they are perfect when they do.
