Here you guys go, the next chapter. Trust me, you will LOVE it, for sure.

I also told you I was making this story different. In normal stories, I realize that a guy would probably come in, flirt with Sonny and they would start going out, causing Chad to become jealous, blah blah blah. Well, I'm not doing that, if you guys are wondering. Even though it's possible, it's way too predictable. Unless you guys want that to happen, it's not in my plan. I know this may seem like a random note, but don't worry, you'll see why I mention it now.

It was almost two weeks after Sarah and Connie met, and the two, after that, had been hanging out every day. It frightened Chad and Sonny, but Sonny was gradually getting used to it. Sonny was already filming her third episode on the show, coincidentally, the first episode where her character, Leia, and Chad's character, Mackenzie meet. The first two episodes with her was mostly about making sure 'Leia' wasn't found out, but of course, it happened. Now, the two characters had their own alone scene together, where Mackenzie tried to figure out Leia's secret.

Sonny knew her lines well enough to get through the scene, however, even though they were friends, Sonny felt uncomfortable with this scene with Chad for one reason. Ronny had come to speak with her and Chad just after the table reading, and told them that he wanted this scene as awkward but as romantic as possible. Why? Well, because these two characters would fall in love, kind of like a bad boy/bad girl turned good type relationship. Ronny wanted it sort of awkward, but sort of romantic and sexy. He wanted to feel the tension building up.

"We had this planned for a while dollface, don't worry. I know you both will be able to accomplish this," Ronny had told them. So now, Sonny in her school uniform, and Chad with his own style of his uniform on, both stood on the set as Ronny directed them. Sonny pulled down her skirt a little bit as she looked at Chad nervously, who had the calmest look on his face.

"Ok Sonny, doll, I want you to be sitting on that bench when Chad, as Mackenzie, walks up. Once he does, I want you to wait until he sits beside you before moving far away from him, absorbed in your book. After Chad moves closer to you to flirt, you stand up, brushing his hand away and try to walk away. Then, he'll stop you, you'll face him and continue from there, ok. Ready on set! Get into places!" Ronny called. Sonny grabbed the book, a prop really, and sat on the bench, flipping it open. She looked down just as Ronny called, "ACTION!"

She felt Chad's presence as he sat down beside her. Sonny noted her cue as she moved to the opposite end of the bench, still looking down at the book. She waited patiently for Chad's line, but it still startled her when he said in his sweet voice, "Hey Leia. Fancy meeting you here after school. Where's your big brother?"

Sonny, as Leia, looked at him, rolling her eyes as she answered, "At football practice. You should know that; you two are friends." Chad, as Mackenzie, smiled as he moved closer.

"You know, you look exceptionally pretty today. Who knew you would be related to Lucas?" Chad said as he laughed a little. On his cue, he placed his hand on Sonny's hand, causing her to shiver a little bit as she looked into his big blue eyes. For the first time, Sonny actually felt mesmerized by Chad. Behind his eyes, gone was the cocky teen actor she knew and detested. Now, in his place, a beautiful, kind, sort of knight in shining armor was there, looking at her. Suddenly, the lines were lost in her mind as her old crush on Chad came full force at her. Yes, once upon a time, Sonny was Chad's fan. She wouldn't say biggest, but she was a huge fan. Of course once Sonny got to know Chad, it went away, but now it was back, startling Sonny.

Sonny blinked as she forced herself to conjure up her line. She frantically scrambled to remember it as Chad stared at her, now confused.

"I- I'm sorry, I forgot my line," Sonny finally admitted, tearing her eyes from Chad's face as she looked at Ronny, who nodded.

"That's ok. Every actor forgets their lines one time or another during filming. Let's take it from Chad's last line. Sonny, darling, your line is 'who knew you would be related to the Loch Ness Monster?' Ok, start over! And action!" Ronny called. Chad and Sonny quickly faced each other again as Chad uttered his line again. Saying the words over and over, while making sure not to look directly into Chad's eyes, she murmured, "Who knew you would be related to the Loch Ness Monster?"

Chad smiled sweetly as Sonny pulled away, standing up as her hand gripped her prop. She turned and started walking over to her marker as she felt Chad rush up to her. His hand touched her shoulder. Out of instinct, Sonny spun around, startled. She truly forgot he was going to do that.

She looked down at Chad's arm immediately as Chad spoke, "Where are you going princess?"

"I am not a princess. Princesses are little girls who wish to dream in a perfect world, when in reality, nothing and nobody is, or will ever be, perfect," Sonny spat out her line with venom. Chad looked taken aback. After all, Sonny never sounded so angry, but that was what her line said.

"Well, in my eyes, you are a princess. A damaged one however," Chad continued. Sonny breathed as she looked up at him.

"What are you talking about Mackenzie?" she asked. Chad pretended to think.

"You seem different; like a bad girl gone good. You have something about you that screams you're bad, but yet you're calm and mysterious. What is your secret?" he asked. Sonny shrugged.

"I have many secrets; ones you will never hear about," Sonny answered coolly. Chad sighed as he moved closer to Sonny.

"Come on Leia. You can trust me; I can keep a secret," he said softly. Sonny shook her head.

"I'm sorry Mackenzie, but I- don't trust you. I don't trust anyone right now. I am definitely not giving my secret away, not for anything!" Sonny said confidently. Silence took over the room, as it was in the script as Sonny, as Leia, stood her ground, forcing herself to look into Chad's eyes. Again, she got lost in them, everything around them disappearing. Chad nodded slowly.

"Fine, but I'll find out eventually. I always do," he said suggestively before walking off, leaving Sonny gaping after him.

"AND CUT! Good job guys! But I need you to do that all again. I felt it at the beginning, especially with you Sonny, but Chad, I need more connection, more tension with you. From the top again," Ronny instructed. They did the scene three more times before Ronny was completely satisfied, however. Every time, Sonny stumbled over her lines, trying to keep herself in character, but it was hard. The new found old crush was just bursting inside of her.

Finally, after all the takes were done, Ronny excused them all for a short break, muttering to himself as he went to get a cup of coffee. Refusing to look in Chad's direction, Sonny made her way to the chocolate fountain, taking some in a cup and drinking it. The chocolate-y goodness taste was amazing.

She spotted Chad walking over to her just as Sonny sat down on the couch in the studio. She silently groaned and turned away, pretending to be fascinated with a spot on the wall.

"Hey Sonny," Chad greeted kindly as he sat beside her. Sonny quickly glanced over.

"Hey Chad," she said quickly before turning away. She could sense Chad's worried ness as he touched her shoulder. She shivered slightly from the touch, angry that her crush would come back at the worst possible time, when she still had over a month left on the show.

"What's wrong Sonny? Worried about your performance of the scene? You did pretty well, for a So Random member anyways," Chad said, Sonny detecting some cockiness in his voice. Sonny turned to look at him, avoiding his eyes as she spoke.

"Nothing's wrong Chad. I'm just a little tired today, that's all. And no, I am not worried about my performance. As Ronny said, I did an amazing job, besides that one little forgetful incident with the line," Sonny answered calmly. Chad nodded.

"Ah, the incident. Don't worry, I make mistakes sometimes with my lines. It's nothing really, unless you're like Portlyn and always forget your lines," Chad said, laughing. Sonny glared at him until he stopped.

"That's mean Chad. Not everyone can mesmerize lines," Sonny defended Portlyn. Chad just chuckled a little bit.

"Then why is she an actress? She may be good at lying, but she's horrible with memory work," Chad countered. Sonny just sighed as she finished her chocolate drink and set it down. She felt Chad's eyes on her as she stood up to go to her dressing room. Suddenly, Chad stood up as well, placing his hand on her shoulder, spinning her around to face him. Sonny gaped at Chad, surprised.

"What?" she asked, keeping her breathing regular. Chad paused for a moment; trying to figure out what to say.

"Seriously Sonny, though, what's up with you? You're seriously acting weird, like you're avoiding me or something," Chad asked. Sonny gave a little laugh, shrugging his hand off her shoulder, deciding to sit back down, beside Chad.

"Me? Acting weird? No way! I'm acting perfectly normal. Maybe you're the one acting weird. Oh wait, you're always weird," Sonny laughed. Chad faked laughed.

"Funny Munroe," Chad said bitterly before Sonny spotted a guest star, Richmond Talker, walking toward them. Sonny had to admit he was very cute, but clearly not her type. Besides, he was only a guest star, so he would be gone by the end of the week.

"Oh, hey Chad, hey Sonny," Richmond greeted them as he sat beside him. Chad looked majorly annoyed that he interrupted our conversation. Sonny, however, gave a smile to Richmond.

"Hi Richmond. How do you like the Falls?" Sonny asked. Richmond thought.

"I thought I would hate it, but some few things changed my mind on it," Richmond flirted, looking at Sonny mysteriously. Sonny blushed a little bit as she smiled back.

"Well, that's great," she said sweetly. Richmond nodded.

"So how about you? Are you missing being on So Random, or is Mackenzie Falls not that bad?" he asked her. Sonny shrugged.

"I don't know, it's alright, but I do miss So Random," Sonny admitted. Richmond nodded as he shuffled a little bit closer to Sonny, who eyed Chad, who definitely looked uncomfortable, and was that jealousy behind his eyes? No way, Sonny thought as she let her smile die off as she looked at Richmond.

"Well, So Random was always my favourite show," Richmond told her. Uncomfortable suddenly, Sonny nodded as she scooted closer to Chad.

"Ok Richmond, don't you have lines to go over for your scene that starts in, like, five minutes?" Chad interjected. Richmond nodded as he stood up.

"Of course. I'll see you later Sonny," he said, winking, before leaving the two alone again. Sonny shivered, disgusted.

"I thought he was nice at first, but I think he's a flirt. He was totally trying to get a date with me. Thanks Chad, for interrupting," Sonny told Chad, who nodded.

"No problem Sonny. That guy's seriously annoying. He'll be gone soon, though, which is good," Chad said. Sonny smiled as she stood up again.

"I'm going to head to my dressing room to grab something. I'll meet you on set in a few minutes," she told him. Chad nodded as Sonny hurried off to her dressing room. Sighing, she opened and closed the door quickly, leaning against it, facing the door. Finally, she straightened herself and turned, seeing her best friend sitting on her couch.

"Hey Sonny," Lucy said to Sonny, who was still in shock.

Well, Lucy's here! What do you think? I put in quite a bit of Chad/Sonny fluff. Don't worry, Richmond will make one last attempt to get to Sonny in a couple of chapters from now. Don't worry, though; he'll never prevail!
