Chapter 1: Banana Bread VS. CDC
Chad's P.O.V
I was sitting behind the So Random! show bleachers watching them rehearse. Yeah, you caught me. I secretly watch So Random! but I only started watching when Sonny got there. She brought that show way more energy than it had before. But something was different. Sonny wasn't herself. What's up with her today? Even everyone else was noticing. Blondie stormed off set earlier because Sonny kept getting one line wrong. She always gets her lines right. Sonny took a break to go to the comissionary while the others tried the sketch without her, so I ran there before they got there so it wouldn't seem suspicious. I got myself a frozen yogurt and went over to where Sonny was sitting. "What's up, Random Random?" she looked up at me. "Nothing. Why would you say that?" "You haven't been yourself today. When I started our daily argument, you replied 'Yeah okay' and walked off back to your set. Something's wrong. CDC never lies." She looked at me, obviously annoyed. "Look Chad, I have my own things to worry about. So, will you please leave?" She went back to her food obviously thinking about something. "Aha! So you admit you are worried about something!" Gotcha, Munroe. She looked at me shocked. "Psh. I did not say that. Why would you think I said that?" she was using her high pitched voice. Classic Sonny. "Come on, Sonny. You can tell me." "I have to be somewhere, okay." She looked at me frustrated and walked out of the cafeteria. I heard the Randoms. She wasn't due back there for another half hour. Where is she going? I'm going to follow her. I got in my follower car which no one knew about. It is ugly and old so no one knows that I am following them. I hopped in the car and slowly drove a few cars behind Sonny. She pulled up to a daycare and walked inside. What the hell is she doing at a daycare? I sat around the corner and a few minutes later, she came out hand in hand with a six year old girl. I'm good with ages. What is going on?
Sonny's P.O.V
I called Marshall and told him I went home sick today. I was sitting on the couch with Caroline watching So Random re-runs. Yes, if you are wondering if she is my daughter, you're right. I'm 21 with a 6 year old daughter. "Mommy?" she asked. "Yeah?" She was always smiling. I loved her smile. "Remember how we always make Banana Bread after my first day at school? Well we got to make it now! Please?" I smiled at her. "Sure we can, come on." We were just walking to the kitchen when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it. You just wait here, okay?" I went over to the door and opened it. There stood Chad. Uh oh. "Chad? What are you doing here?" "Hey Sonny. So what were you doing at a daycare?" I gasped. "You followed me? Why?" "I told you I wanted to know what was wrong with you." He is unbelievable! "I told you it was none of your business." Just then someone called at the worst time possible. "Mommy, who is it?" Caroline yelled from behind. Great. "Just a minute, Caroline." "Wait a second. You have a six year old daughter and your 21. Well, even little Miss Sonshine isn't perfect, now is she?" I slammed the door on his face and slid down the side of it. Tears welled in my eyes. How could he say that?
Chad's P.O.V
As she slammed the door, I mentally slapped myself in the face. That was the worst possible thing to say. Even CDC would find that mean and hurtful. Okay, I really need to stop talking about myself in third person. I knocked on the door again. "Sonny? I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. I shouldn't make assumptions when I don't know what the situation is. I'm so sorry, Sonny. Please open the door." I waited a few minutes before the door slowly creaked open. "Sonny, I'm sorry. Tell me what happened. I'll listen before I judge." She looked at me. "It's a long story." "I've got time." She just looked at me. "It's not that long actually. My dad was a perve." I was shocked. Even Sonny had a past. "Oh." "That's why I was worried today. It was her first day of Kindergarten. I was freaking out. Plus, she watches way too much Mackenzie Falls for a six year old." I smiled. "Well, I'm flattered." "Of course you are. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make Banana Bread." I stopped the door with my foot. "I could help. I love Banana Bread." She smiled. "Okay, but you do realize that she will freak out once you step through this door?" I smiled. "Yeah, I know."
Sonny's P.O.V
"Okay, it's your funeral." I opened the door for him to come in. He walked inside and I called Caroline in from her room. She walked in and stood there with her mouth wide open in shock. "Sweetie, close your mouth. You're going to catch flies." She shut it, still staring at Chad. "Banana Bread?" "Okay!" She ran into the kitchen. This was hilarious. I was laughing hysterically. "She likes Banana Bread more than you. I am loving this." I was laughing still. It was funny if you could see Chad's face. HA! "Come on." I went into the Kitchen with Chad following behind me. "So do you even know how to make Banana Bread?" I asked. "Not really." He said. "Ah, amateurs." Caroline said and looked at me. "Mm." I replied as I nodded. "We'll show you how to do it." "Why don't I just read the instructions?" He looked at us confused. "We don't have any." "What do you mean you don't have any?" We were busy getting all of the ingredients while Chad was just standing there. "We threw them away." Caroline replied. He looked at us shocked. "You threw them away?" "We already knew how to make it by heart so we didn't the instructions. It's as simple as that." I replied. I am seriously having fun with this! "Now I don't know how to make it." He said, freaking out. "Will you relax? We'll help you." We made the Banana Bread and Chad was about to leave. "Thank you for coming, Chad. Now you know how to make Banana Bread." "Without instructions. What an interesting way to learn." He said sarcastically. I laughed as Caroline clung onto his leg. "It was super, super awesome meeting you! I love Mackenzie Falls! You're awesome!" I was still laughing. She can be clingy. "Caroline, get off of Chad so he can leave." She finally got off. "Bye." He waved. "See you tomorrow, Chad." I waved goodbye as well, as I closed the door. "Oh my god! I can't believe you know Chad Dylan Cooper!" "He works in the same studio as me." I replied. We went inside and I tucked her into bed. "Goodnight, sweetie." I said. "Night, mommy. Oh, and I had an awesome first day. Thank you." "No problem." I kissed her goodnight and went to bed as well. Today was a fun day. And on the plus side, Chad was actually being nice. And he didn't talk in third person! Things are changing around here. I like it.
Next Day
Sonny's P.O.V
Chad came in late today. But when he finally got here, I went over to The Falls to talk to him about Caroline. I entered, which wouldn't have been possible if I was on banned wall. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm not on that thing when my friends are, all of them. That's just weird. I spotted Chad and walked over to him. He was sitting at his usual make-up chair with his bib on. I mean, really, what is with the bib? He wasn't even eating anything. "Chad, I need to talk to you." He looked away from the mirror for once to talk to me. "Hey, Sonny. I had fun yesterday." I smiled. "Well, thank you. I had fun too. But you're not going to tell anyone about Caroline, are you?" he smiled. "I'd never do that to you." Wow. That was sweet, even for Chad. "Thanks, Chad. It means a lot. I really don't need any more drama in my hands."
Chad's P.O.V
She was always so vibrant. I couldn't help but smile at her. "That's okay. And ironically, you are in a drama free zone." (LOL! I love that quote from Falling For The Falls Part 1) She laughed. "How ironic." I love her giggle. I need to stop thinking like this. It is ruining my mental image. The little nerve cells in my brain are like Paparazzi. What's new? Chad likes Sonny! And then they send it to my head and I regret the thought like I am now. I just noticed something. I am weird. Oh my gosh, I just insulted myself. I've never done that before. It's kind of fun, like a joke I mean. "So." I said. "So." She replied. "Well this is a fun conversation." "Yup. Maybe I'll just go back to So Random! We have rehearsal soon anyway." I smiled at her again. Why did I keep doing that? "Yeah, I guess. Bye Sonny." "Bye. Oh and we are making muffins tomorrow for Caroline's school, if want to come." She said as she turned and left. More baking? Awesome! I am so going. I like baking. I sound so gay right now.
Sonny's P.O.V
"Come on, Izzy. We have to start making them or we'll be done past your bedtime." (A/N: Izzy is her nickname because her middle name is Isobel.) She sighed as if bored. "Fine." Then the doorbell rang. "I'll get it. It's probably Chad." I went over to the door and opened it. My smile faded as I saw who it was. I slammed the door but he was still trying to bang it down. Caroline came over to me, obviously scared and confused at what was happening. "Mommy? Who's trying bang down our door?" she asked in her little girl voice. "It's nothing, honey. I need you to run across to the studio and find Chad for me. Can you do that?" she nodded, her eyes growing every second. "Okay, then go." She ran out the back door to the studio. Why did he have to come now?
Caroline's P.O.V
I was scared. I ran over to the studio and bumped into Tawni. I remembered how she didn't know I existed. Oops. "Who are you?" she asked. "Um, I was just looking for Chad Dylan Cooper." She put a look of annoyance on her face. Mommy was right. She was stuck up. "He's in studio 2. This is studio 3. I'll take you there, come on." She walked me over to Studio 3 and to Chad's dressing room. He opened the door. "What do you want, Blondie?" she gave him a fake smile. "I got you a present. She came looking for you at So Random!" he looked confused. "Who?" Tawni rolled her eyes. This was taking way too long. "Look down, idiot." He looked down and his eyes widened. "Caroline? Come in. Tawni? Go." She scoffed and walked away. "Caroline, what are you doing here? I was just about to come over for the muffin thing." "Mommy said to come and get you. Someone's trying to bang down out door." I said hurriedly. "What?" he said shocked. "I'm not kidding. Normally I would be, but not about this stuff. Come on, what are we going to do?" he just stared into space. What a great help he was.
Since when do you come around?
And the temperature's changed
Nothing's the same
Left me, in yesterday;
You don't see me that way,
Touch me that way, no more...
When'd you get so cold?
I'm not sure just how much longer I can hold
You got me standing at the bottom of this mountain that we made
And the ground is shaking from all of our mistakes
But there's no one
Nothing but us is in our way
It's a matter of time, we can rewind
