( Oh yeah! I'm the 100th reviewer!)

Wow! It's good and dramatic! I love it! Please update!
Lifeisveryshortsoami chapter 5 . 7/1/2011
Wow…I didn’t even realize my full review wasn’t submitted. I bet that surprised you last night! “Yes, Melissa FINALLY reviewed and - wait, where’s the rest of it? SHE WROTE ME A REVIEW AND THEN STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE?” I honestly didn’t mean to do that. Sorry…I’ll send the rest of it now!

Here comes part 3 of your review!

That line was the one that really stood out to me. It’s like…Chad’s not even blaming Sonny. He’s trying to blame her and the rest of the Randoms, but at the same time, a small part of him realizes that it’s his fault, too. That maybe fate is punishing him for giving in to his darkest desires and making friends with the Randoms in the first place. That maybe his punishment for drawing near to his mortal enemies is to lose his job and, in turn, everything he holds dear.

“Looking back at this, he realized he had taken his cast for granted—they didn't need him, he needed them”

Wait a second…Chad Dylan Cooper, ADMITTING he needs someone other than himself? Wow. We should mark today (or whatever day it was when you wrote this scene) on our calendars because, my dear friend, this may be the one and only time Chad will ever reach such a conclusion.

“MacKenzie...yes, a character, but to Chad who had played him for five years, he was a portion of Chad's life...in all honesty, it was who Chad wished he could be...Mack's perfect nature, his friendliness that allowed others to depend on him and his foresight for truth and control over lesser evils...like a hero, Chad's hero.”

I don’t remember if you let me read that line ahead of time or if I was skimming through your update and read it then. Whichever way, I do remember hearing it before - but I still love it just as much as I did the first time. It’s proof that Chad hates the man he’s become. He doesn’t want to be Chad Dylan Cooper anymore. He wants to be someone like Mackenzie. But in his eyes, it’s too late. How can he show his true self (the Mackenzie he really is inside) when the world already knows him as Chad Dylan Cooper? How can he change?

Ok…Why are the Randoms trying to stay friends with Chad? I thought they weren’t going to after the way he treated Sonny -

Wait. Tawni’s the only one who knows and vowed to make sure Chad never hurt Sonny like that again. So maybe the other Randoms (namely Nico and Grady) are trying to stay friends with him because they think that’ll keep them from getting fired? That if they stay on Chad’s good side, Chad won’t tell Mr. Condor they had anything to do with the prank call?

Or maybe I’m just guessing totally and completely wrong and I should shut up and let the author take care of her own story.

"It was my phone, my prank and if I hadn't suggested it, you guys wouldn't be fighting!”

Aw, forget about feeling bad for Chad or Sonny. I want to give Zora a hug! She’s just a little girl who wanted to have some fun at a sleepover. People prank call each other all the time. It’s not like Zora could have known it would blow up into this huge ordeal. And she’s actually CRYING about it!

“What could his words do to them as they stood solid as one, while he stood alone, excluded from nearly any ties…”

It’s sad, really. How close Chad was to being in that solid oneness, and now, he’s all alone, the same isolated person he’s been since the fame and fortune went to his pretty little head.

"We will get through this."

You go, Zora! Be the supporting arm you and Sonny both need right now! You might be the youngest Random, but you are from the least. Be strong for everyone, Zora. Help your cast to remember that no matter what happens, the five of you will always have each other.

“her eyes widened, stunned.”

Wait a second, you’re not ending it like that, are you? When you take so long to update, you’re going to leave off with a cliffhanger? Oh, Rahie, you better get on Twitter or email or something tonight and give me some kind of a clue as to who’s at the door. Because if you’ve told me before, I don’t remember. I honestly don’t. I remember bits and pieces of this story, but not all of it. Is it Chad standing there? Or Mr. Condor? What about her long lost boyfriend from Wisconsin?

Well, I feel like I did something today. I FINALLY reviewed! Now I’m going to try to send it. But it might take two reviews to do it. I’m not sure yet. Oh, and just so you know, including the first review I sent, this review was 10 pages.
lifeisveryshortsoami chapter 5 . 6/30/2011
Starting part 2 of your review and it’s still raining. Actually, it’s raining out the back window, but when I look out the front one, the sky is black but there’s no rain. Weird. My dad isn’t home from work yet either. Which is strange since usually he gets home an hour before now. Just so you know, if he does get home soon, it’ll made it later when you receive this review. Because I’ll have to close my computer and talk to him and see if I’m going to continue living at home or not.

Want to know what I just realized? I start all your reviews with these super long ramblings you don’t even care about. Hmm…sorry about that! I think I’ll start reading again now. I like to read.

'What happened (with Chad?) What happened (to Sonny?) What h... "

Or you could go with my favorite: What happened to all the dinosaurs? Seriously! Do you know how cool it would be to walk out my front door and see this giant T-rex waiting to eat me? But no, that’s never going to happen because all the dinosaurs are dead now. *sigh* stupid dinosaurs. They could have at least lived until I was born!

"Sonny's hurt. Chad's hurt. When someone gets hurt, it's gotta be a trust issue."

So, let me get this straight, Nico: let’s just say I’m outside walking. We all know I’m not the least-accident prone person. So, while I’m out walking, let’s say I accidentally trip over something. You can imagine whatever item you want - a stone, a branch, a random beaver (my grandma claims she saw a beaver out here before. No one believes her). Anyway, I trip over said item, I fall down, I feel pain, my parents rush me to the hospital, and I find out I broke my arm. I’m hurt, right? But because I’m hurt, it didn’t happen because I was out walking and some object got in my way. No, it happened because there’s a trust issue, right? So really, instead of me being accident prone, there’s just an issue of trust between me and gravity?

“suddenly her eyes sparkled, her mind whisked by an epiphany”

*gasp* Tawni Hart is actually having an epiphany? Did pigs learn how to fly already?

“Perplexed, the gang all huddled over Grady's shoulder, reading his latest email.”

Teehee…I could see that happening. They’re all sitting around, trying to figure out what’s going on without Sonny’s help (because we all know Sonny’s the one who usually figures out the problems or solutions for them) and then, out of nowhere, Grady just shouts, “And I know why!” I can picture the rest of them exchanging looks as they think, “Wait a second…How did GRADY figure it out before us?”

Wow, I’m really flying through this update! That either means it’s shorter than usual (which I doubt since you try to make sure all your updates are long and super amazing) or I’m just not as good at reviewing as I used to be. Hmm…Rahie, we may have a problem that needs fixing!

“Where in the world's script did it say that Chad 'enters scene, disbelievingly looks at Sonny, and throws fit'?”

You know, that concept would make for an interesting story. Does Chad write a script he must follow daily or does he live life like a normal person? For example, does he ‘go with the flow’ OR does his life look more like this: Setting: Chad Dylan Cooper’s bedroom. Chad is in bed with the covers drawn over his head. Light snore are heard. *cue alarm clock* Chad wakes with a start, falling out of bed…

It might be kind of fun to follow a script actually. Although I wonder what happens if something not written on the script happens? I guess you’d have to improvise - that is the true sign of a good actor, isn’t it?

*And then she frowned: how in the world did she allow herself to get this depressed?*

Sonny is supposed to be Sonny, not depressed! Although I guess considering everything that’s going on…Rahie, why do we (yes, both of us have done it now) put Sonny in situations that take away her Sonny-ness? WHY?

“But there was, now. It was like a higher level of a game you had no inkling of ever playing before.”

I like games! But Sonny’s right, this one doesn’t sound like much fun. And she’s right about Chad being a bigger jerk than normal, too. I mean, he talks about himself a lot on the show and won’t shut up right away if someone tries telling him something, but eventually, he will listen to them. With Sonny, he didn’t even give her a chance to explain herself.

On a brighter note, the sun’s coming out now! Bye bye rain! That means the story’s going to get happier now, right?

In case you’re wondering, there was a break between my last paragraph and this one. My dad just got home. He seems to be in an alright mood - he brought me a pizza. So I guess I wait things out and see what happens next? Don’t you love how random my reviews are? Everything from your story to dinosaurs to rain to my problems…I don’t know how you keep up with my train of thought. I can’t even keep up sometimes.

“He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named”

Strange…I thought I was reading a Sonny With a Chance story, not Harry Potter. How come I haven’t seen Harry’s name lately? Or Ron? Or Hermione? I bet Hermione would be able to figure out what’s wrong with Sonny and Chad. She can always figure out what’s wrong with anyone and everyone. Now that I think about it, why didn’t Nico, Grady, Zora, and Tawni just go to Hermione in the first place? It would have saved them so much time!

Oh wait, I know why they didn’t go to Hermione. BECAUSE APPARENTLY HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED IS THE ONLY HARRY POTTER CHARACTER LEFT IN THE STORY! What did he do, kill everyone or something? Ohh, I sure hope not. I love me my Weasley clan!

"We're witnesses."

"We could lose our jobs as well."

You’re the author so I’m not going to argue with you, but…well, I’m just thinking. Mr. Condor is a big business man. It seems like he wouldn’t care who saw Chad make the call or even who encouraged him to do it. All he cares about is having the person who made the call fired once and for all. He would probably get mad at the Randoms if he knew they knew the truth and no one stepped forward to tell him, but as long as they keep their mouths shut about it, I don’t think their jobs are in jeopardy.

Unless, of course, they’re afraid Mr. Condor may go around, questioning them one-on-one and they will either have to lie or come clean about knowing who made the call. Or perhaps they’re afraid because Chad could tell Mr. Condor they were all at the sleepover together to try to take all the Randoms down with him (after all, he’s Chad Dylan Cooper. If he goes down, he’s not going down alone). Therefore, Mr. Condor could fire all of them after finding out they all knew the truth.

But Condor Studios would lose a LOT of money if its two biggest shows got canceled. Just saying.

"Sonny, I care about you," Tawni hissed eagerly with impatience, her heart wrenching and pulling apart to see her pal in this devastation.”

I really like seeing this side of Tawni. She covers up her true feelings so often, acting like she’s better than everyone else - although not to the extent Chad does, at least, not yet - when deep down, she really sees Sonny, Zora, Nico, and Grady as her friends. We don’t get to see this side of her very often on the show. Well, we DIDN’T get to see that side of her very often on the show. Now that it’s cancelled, I guess we won’t see it. But you know what I mean. It’s still nice to see those moments when she shows how much she cares for other people.

"He can't hurt you like this, Sonny," Tawni whispered, a new-found passion for something besides vanity bubbling within her spirit.

"I won't let him."

FRIENDSHIP MOMENT! I think this is my favorite friendship moment between Sonny and Tawni in any fan fiction I’ve ever read. Seriously, Rahie. Tawni admitting she cares and hugging Sonny and not caring if Sonny ruins her one of a kind clothing and then vowing that she’s not going to let Chad hurt Sonny this badly…and somehow, you managed to keep the tween queen in character for her entire speech. Great job. Very good job!

“feeling the cold rounds and bumps of his race-car bed made feeling strong less easier”

I almost forget the great Chad Dylan Cooper sleeps in a racecar bed. Way to be, Disney. Put your coolest character in one of the greatest (and yet childish) beds in the world. Yeah!

Oh wait, I’m supposed to be reviewing your writing, not racecar beds. Yeah, you did great. I feel…bad for Chad. Kind of. Part of me feels bad for him. But the other part is looking back at Sonny and the lovely moment she just shared with Tawni all because of what Chad said to her. So part of me doesn’t feel sorry for Chad at all. Another part of me does though because he’s under so much stress what with the phone call and what he said to Sonny and…

Rahie, I’m so confused! Who should I be feeling sorry for right now? Sonny? Chad? Both of them? Or the poor racecar bed that isn’t made for seventeen year old boys to be sleeping in?

“He had been in a gruesome battle, warrior to the protection of his name, his innocence devoured by the ancient beast of Randoms”

Gross metaphor…but I have to admit, it does help set the mood. He really was putting his name above everything else. If he valued his friendship with Sonny, that trust they’ve been building since she arrived in Hollywood, he would have listened to her instead of going crazy. But he didn’t and he chose his own fate. He chose to ignore her and throw the blame at anyone other than himself. Chad Dylan Cooper never does anything wrong. Chad Dylan Cooper only looks out for one person - and that’s Chad Dylan Cooper.

"Condor got me back good."

That line was the one that really stood out to me. It’s like…Chad’s not even blaming Sonny. He’s trying to blame her and the rest of the Randoms, but at the same time, a small part of him realizes that it’s his fault, too. That maybe fate is punishing him for giving in to his darkest desires and making friends with the Randoms in the first place. That m

Rahie! It feels like it’s been forever since you’ve updated a new chapter for me to review. But as long as that break feels, it feels like it’s been even LONGER since I’ve had a chance to write you a review! Well, guess what? I’m not working at the moment (my mom said I better get a new job soon. It’s like she thinks I’m not even going to try. I still want to work - just not at an amusement park. Oh, and my dad is really upset with me. Although, judging by what he said last night, he’s more mad at the fact I quit when he told me to wait until after I had another job and I decided to quit before getting another job. So he’s basically upset because I didn’t do what he told me to do. But I’m twenty years old…I don’t really have to do what he tells me anymore. I mean, yeah, I live in his house and have to follow the rules here, but not when it comes to how I choose to live my life, you know?). What was the point in all that rambling? That I finally have time to leave you a review!

My name? Why is my name in your author’s note? I didn’t do anything! I’ve barely even been online lately for you to talk to!

Aww, my shout-out is for being persistent? No problem, Rahie. Whenever you need an extra little kick to get things moving, whether it’s for GOING TO BED WHEN YOU’RE TIRED or working on fan fiction or studying at school, I’ll be around to help. Even if I annoy you in the process. Trust me, everything I do is out of love. :D

As for the rest of your author’s note: I’m just going to say UPDATE as soon as humanly possible. Please and thank you.

I’M ABOUT TO START READING THE CHAPTER! I’M ABOUT TO START READING THE CHAPTER!

Haha…you already made me laugh and all I read so far was the bold heading. For some reason, seeing your setting (Girls’ Dressing Room) gave me a great imagery of Sonny and Tawni hanging out, changing into costumes for one of their sketches (not naked though. Come on, Rahie, this is a Disney channel show here!) and they’re talking and laughing for once - which is amazing since Sonny and Tawni never get along but I’m sure they would have bonded at least a little after Sonny’s sleepover - and then Chad just goes, “Knock, knock!” and barges into the room while Sonny and Tawni start shrieking and rushing to grab whatever they can use to cover themselves with while Chad covers his eyes and-

I know…I’m weird. Maybe I should read YOUR writing instead of telling you random scenes that pop into my head.

I think my grandpa is cutting the grass right now. He does that every day. He just got a new lawn-mower.

Guess what? You might not know it, but I started writing this review yesterday. And now I’m working on it again today. Do you want to know how I know it’s a new day? Because yesterday, it was all sunny and nice outside. Now it’s raining and yucky. Perfect weather to sit inside and type to you! Even though you won’t actually read this while the weather’s yucky…except you might. Because I’m not sure how long it’s supposed to rain. So maybe it will be raining by the time I finish. I’ll let you know. Actually, I probably won’t. I’ll forget I was talking about the weather by the time I get wrapped up in your writing. Lol

…I think I’ll start reading now, okay?

“Sonny's mind reeled towards the past malicious memories without her consent as she strived to bring herself out of this limbo state”

That’s so…beautifully written, Rahie. I mean, the way those words flow together, it really lets you get inside Sonny’s mind and like…I don’t even know. Feel the emotions with her? That’s probably not the best way to describe it. But I seriously love how you wrote that line!

“The way his glassy ice blue eyes brimmed red with tears, like a black swan”

I have to admit: that line is REALLY deep. When you picture a swan, what do you see? (I saw tons of them at Michigan’s Adventure when I worked Sea Dragon! Sea Dragon is located by the water, so while the ride was running, I got to look out over the lake and there was this group of swans who dropped by quite a few times. So pretty!). Where was I? Oh yeah, when you see a swan, or when you think about one, you picture this perfect animal. Something that’s white and majestic and flawless. And, of course, white is the color of goodness. A black swan though…a swan that has had its feathers painted because of a crime it committed (in Chad’s case, that crime could be anything. I mean, let’s face it. The boy was never ‘good’ and ‘pure’. Maybe his feathers are black because he let the fame of Hollywood go to his head. Maybe they’re black because he uses other people to get what he wants. Or maybe they’re black simply because of the talk he just had with Sonny, the one she can’t stop thinking about). Sorry if all that talk made no sense…really it’s supposed to tell you that I really liked your metaphor!

"He doesn't know what he's doing," she found herself monotonously speaking. "He's just a jerk."

Isn’t that funny? Whenever someone does something to us, something horrible that makes us cry or feel hurt inside, do we blame them for their deed? Most of the time, no. I’m sure some people do - some people would blame the culprit right off the bat - but a lot of us are like Sonny. Someone does or says something that really truly hurts us and instead of getting upset, we come up with excuses for them. Huh. I wonder why we, as humans, do that instead of opening our eyes to the truth?

“When had she sabotaged him! Why wouldn't he just listen to her?”

Yep. First we come up with excuses for the person who inflicted our injury, then we start questioning what we did wrong, what we could have done to help that person out, to make them realize their mistakes before it was too late. I feel really bad for Sonny right now.

On the other hand, I feel great for you, Rahie! You’re doing a wonderful job setting the mood here. And I’m only a few paragraphs into the update! Don’t you miss reading the reviews that take me hours to write?

“Hundreds of answers ran through her mind: Love. Hate. Friendship. Cruelty. Abuse. Loss. Uncoverings. Knowledge.”

Um, I believe that was only 8 answers. Where are the others? I WANT TO KNOW THEM ALL! Haha, jk, jk!

“leaving Tawni in deep confusion as she tried processing the answer”

Not to turn this serious issue into a joke or anything, but I could picture Tawni sitting there, totally and completely confused, muttering to herself and then asking her reflection either A. what Sonny meant with her answer or B. why people from Wisconsin are so strange.

Look, I made it all the way to the first breaking point in your chapter! I think I’ll send this part of the review now - just so I can see if you get excited or not. Then I’ll send the rest after I have it written. Can’t wait to read more!
ChannyAddict chapter 5 . 6/5/2011
! YOU POSTED A NEW CHAPTER! *faints* *gets up and reads the chapter* *faints again* This is great! :D

Almost once a week I go to your page to see if you have updated, and you post this the one time I don't go look. I was actually in the T section looking for this other story I was reading when yours popped up. I almost went past it, since I was just skimming the page. But soon after realization dawned on me and I went back, saw it, and squealed. (This was at 1:30 in the morning too, by the way.) I was tired, but I forced myself to stay awake so I could read it. So, I stayed up until 2:30 for you. (: It took me so long to read it because I kept re-reading paragraphs since it was so good! It was totally unexpected and it made my day. :D

The same with giving me a shout-out. That was totally unexpected as well, and I definitely don't deserve it. Thank you. :)

I decided to review this morning, since I was slap happy last night and my review probably would not have made sense, haha.

I'm sorry about the laptop. :( I hope you had extra copies of those pictures of you and Demi. Let's pray that never happens again. (: Update soon! Otherwise, I'll be a little bug buzzing in your ear. :D

ZOMG! You're back! Heh, funny thing that you mention not writing for the past while, same thing has been happening with me! Crazy things have been going on the past year, it's been hectic. ) This is actually the first time I've logged into FF in the past year, and I did only to review this epic story! I've missed FF so much!

As for the season 3 of SWAC, I'm very dissapointed that there will be no Channy, we hoped for so long, got our wish for a couple episodes, then poof... gone. sad face (

Anyway, heartrending non Channyness aside, time for the review!:

I just realized something. I think I might've skipped a chapter... when did this Channy fight happen? I'm a wee bit confuzzled, nevertheless, I shall carry on! So what I'm gathering is that Chad and sonny had a fight over the whole Sharona/Santiago stalker ordeal at the sleepover, and also causing stress is the prank call Chaddy made to Mr. Condor...(?) Man, I need to reread. Oh Zora, can I say I love how you portray Zora? She is just EPIC! I think you capture her quirkyness in such a great way, it is very amusing. Funny thing just happend, after I read that Grady told the cast Chad was getting fired, I couldn't help it, I may have shouted "Oh, Sh*t!" loud enough for my entire neighborhood to hear. Heh, yeah. AHA! I understand now. Chaddy is getting all defensive 'cause he thinks he was sabotaged by the Randoms at the sleepover... clarity just arose within me! Yes. Sorry, I'm just super jazzed that this story is continuing. / D Side note: I loved seeing Chad's race car bed in that one episode... crap, what was that episode called? I have not seen SWAC in so long, I forget!

I'm loving this chapter so far. Poor Zora, thinking it's her fault. Oh look at that,... end of the chapter... sad! I thought this came out extremely well, I'm really excited to read more! Hope all is well.

love stories chapter 1 . 10/3/2010
hey, i love some of your stories but i don'y like the way you told this story. I think you should keep the same form mat of writting as the first part of the story 'sleepover' I love the way you write about a story in no point of view ! e.g sonny point of view. But when you give it in depth it is ok ! i don't ment to mean. But i have read most of you storie and i think you should write more in the format your really good at ! By the way, love the story about sonny falling down the stairs. Sorry can't rememeber what it is called but it was a great story and great format, and style of writting !

Rahie! I'm on tenterhooks now! Can't wait for the next update! So many questions! Is that really it for Channy? That was so dramatic! And the Condor prank-call situation? *bursts* I am so glad I read this, and you are so commited to writing these amazing novels!

Can't wait to read more :D
TheEntertainer26 chapter 3 . 9/18/2010
The moment when the Randoms realised Sharona and Santiago filmed them! Horrible! An excellend twist ;)

I love how sweetly oblivious Sunny is, although Chad is quickly losing his "cool as a cucumber" reputation! Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't chase after girls, they chase after him XD Maybe not!

I actually genuinely hate the condors - I hope their serving staff have an uprising!

What a phenomenal chapter! I am ecstatic there is more to read :D Onwards!
TheEntertainer26 chapter 2 . 9/18/2010
Dear TrinityFlower of Memories,

You are an absolutely enormously talented writer! That was fantastic...loving the somewhat dark and ominous feel - reading on straight away :D
