Sorry for not updating but I think you guys are sick of my excuses lol. Just letting you know I WILL finish this story. It's basically just a matter of when.
Anyway...thanks a bunch to EsmeCullen2010 and TwilightKatchaners for a couple ideas for this chapter x]
btw...for this story pretend anything from Falling for the Falls until now didn't happen. I know you don't want to...I don't want to, but still I can't have them together when the whole story is about getting them together...It just wouldn't make sense haha.
I don't own Sonny With a Chance. I do own the plot to this story.
~*Sonny's Pov*~
"Where have you guys been?" Tawni asked and gave us a knowing look.
"Just walking around..." I replied while praying I didn't blush too much. We made our way back to our seats as Phil's voice came over the intercom.
"So I guess you're all wondering where we're going next, but you're all going to have to wait until we get there!" he said as groans filled the air.
"Heyy Sonny you're pocket's vibrating" Chad whispered.
1 text from Tawni
When we get back to the hotel you are telling me EVERYTHING
"Well?" he asked.
"Just Tawni being Tawni.." I said.
"So anyways...there anywhere in NYC you really wanna go to?" he asked.
"Well I've always wanted to go to..."
"The Statue of Liberty!" Zora shouted. Sure enough outside the window was Lady Liberty herself. Sweet!
We pulled up to a dock that ran the Circle Line cruises as Marshall got on the intercom.
"All right kids we're going to be taking the Circle Line cruise and go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Then later tonight you all have courtside seats to a Knicks game!"
Well Nico was happy. He lived in New York before moving to L.A for So Random! And was a massive Knicks fan. Me on the other hand...was kind of not-so-happy considering my last experience at a basketball game.
"Don't go kissing some random guy this time Sonny." Chad whispered.
"Oh trust me I'll be avoiding cameras at all cost this time." I said with a chuckle thinking he was joking around.
He didn't chuckle back.
So maybe he wasn't joking? Weird...
~*Chad's Pov*~
A basketball game? Really? Usually I'm all for a good game but I don't know if I want Sonny there considering the fact that the stupid Kiss Cam made her kiss that intern that Tawni was so enthralled with. What was his name...? Harry? Henry? Oh...Hayden..that jerk.
Well anyways...
We finally got through the whole security mumbo-jumbo that had definitely had heightened since the last time I was here. I think it had something to do with the failed bomb attempt. I mean who would want to explode The Lion King? Aren't they already going through something? (a/n: its true. The car was parked in front of the theater where the Lion King is and one of the girls that plays Young Nala was recently diagnosed with Leukemia)
I can see they haven't upgraded the boats. Still look as rickety as ever. Should be fun.
"Is this thing safe?" an obviously frightened Sonny asked.
"Of course. Why would they let us on something that wasn't? Trust me I was on one of these a few months ago its perfectly fine." I said as the boat suddenly rocked to one side. Sonny let out a small shriek and gripped onto me as I looked to see that all the guys had ran to the other side of the boat. Idiots.
"Sonny its ok it's not going to tip over. Everyone just went to the other side of the boat. It'll even out. Want to go up to the upper deck?" at that point she immediately smiled and nodded her head. I took her hand and helped her up the staircase. We got up there just as the boat left the dock. This made her stumble and fall into my arms. Our eyes locked for a moment and our heads started to get closer until the horn blew, taking us out of our trance. Yeesh can't I get any luck?
~*Sonny's Pov*~
Well there goes Kiss Attempt #2. Yeesh we were so close! Agh...
I started to take in my surroundings. The open air. The clearish water (it is the Hudson)(Trust me I live near it and it's not the cleanest water and I'm 3 miles away from the city...not pretty). The wind. Hehehe I gots an idea!
I ran to the front of the boat, closed my eyes, and spread my arms wide.
"What are you doing?" Chad asked from behind me.
"I'm getting my Titanic moment." I said and returned to the peace I had gotten while standing there.
"Well you're not doing it right." Chad said. Yeesh I could hear the smirk on his face. I turned to face him and there it was. That smirk that let me know he was planning something..
"What am I not doing right?" I asked.
"Turn around" he told me...ok should I start worrying? Suddenly I was being lifted up into the air. What was going on?
"Chad what the hell?"
"Just trust me. Put your feet down. Don't worry I got you." I did as I was told and felt my feet on the lower part of the railing.
"Now do it!" he said as I threw my arms open and he held onto my waist. In a word it was...
Perfect.
~*Tawni's Pov*~
"So how do you think the two lovebirds are doing?" Portlyn asked me.
"I don't even know if they've admitted it yet..they need to soon or else its time for Tawni matchmaker time." I replied. Portlyn and I have really gotten along during this trip. Why? Well we found out we have a lot in common. We like shopping, we're both pretty, and we both think that Chad and Sonny need to get together NOW! I mean how do they not see it? Especially with the way they've been acting towards each other this entire trip.
"Well why don't we check on them and see how things are going?" she asked with a smirk on her face. Considering everyone else is down here doing a whole bunch of random shenanigans.
We slowly crept up the stairs to see them in the classic Titanic pose.
"Aww" whispered Portlyn as she took out her phone.
"You are not sending that in to Tween Weekly we don't even know if they're together yet."
"I'm not...but this is just too adorable to pass up." she said as she took the picture.
"But that boy and I need to have a serious intervention if he hasn't admitted it yet." she continued.
"I'll talk to Sonny later and fill you in on the details." I said as we made our way back down the stairs.
~*Sonny's Pov*~
I opened my eyes to see Ellis Island coming in closer.
"Chad I think we might want to get back down. We should be docking soon. Thanks by the way." I said with a smile on my face. He mirrored my smile as he helped me down of the railing. The boat leaned again as it turned more towards the dock. Sending me once again falling into Chad.
"I just don't have any luck today do I." I said curtly.
"I don't see the problem with it." he said with a smirk. "You know we can stay up here for a few more minutes." he said looking into my eyes and with that there was no disagreeing. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me over to a wall, then sat down against it.
"Well are you just going to stand there?" he asked as he patted the spot next to him which I of course did. We just sat there for a couple of minutes. Just listening to the ocean, and a little bit of whatever everyone else was doing downstairs. I'm beginning to regret leaving my jacket on the bus. It's getting a bit chilly. I brought my arms around myself in an effort to warm up a bit.
"A little chilly?" he asked. I just nodded.
"Well come here" he said and wrapped his arm around me. Sure enough he was pretty warm and my shivers went away...mainly because they were being replaced by electricity wherever our skin touched. Anyways...this is kind of like on the dream ship. Awesome.
"That better?" he asked with a smirk.
"Yupp!"
~*Chad's Pov*~
Well this is Deja vu all over again. Sonny in my arms on a boat. Except this one stayed in the water. It felt right. My skin tingled where it made contact with hers. I still need to figure out how I'm going to make "Operation: Sonshine" plan work. I have the decorations set. Amazing what a call to the front desk from Chad Dylan Cooper can do. Its just the telling her part that's got me stumped. Why does Sonny do this to me?
The horn blasted again signaling that we were about to dock. We went downstairs and saw Marshall explaining stuff...whoops...guess I have to get portlyn to fill us in on stuff..
"Stay with your buddies everyone!" Marshall yelled to everyone.

~*Sonny's Pov*~
Well we're back on the boat. Ellis Island was really cool! We got a chance to find out when our ancestors came over if they came in through here and where they were from. Chad traced down his family. He found out that the Goldfarbs arrived from Germany in 1942. In my case my Mom's grandparents came from Ireland in 1943 when my grandpa was 6 years old.
We're now on our way to the Statue of Liberty. Phil told us that the studio set up a signing for us to do for an hour then we get free time on the island, then we have to rush over to Madison Square. As we got closer to the dock I could see a group of fans waiting. Many of them fans of Chad's.
"This should be fun." he said with a smirk on his face as the boat docked and security brought us to where the signing is taking place. We barely had sat down when fans started to flock us. I was amazed at the people who came to see So Random! And get our autographs or pictures. I looked over to the Mack Falls side and saw a slew of girls fighting for Chad's attention. He was smiling and going along with it. I felt a twinge inside of me. Jealousy? Agh why does he do this to me?
After the signing Chad and I walked around the island for a bit. Doing everything from getting pictures of the skyline to buying cheesy things at the gift store.
"Want to go up to the crown?" he asked me.
"We can do that?"
"Yea people go up all the time." he said with a smile.
"Then what are we waiting for?" I said as I grabbed his hand and ran towards where I think was the ticket booth for it.
"Am I going the right way?" I asked.
"Yea you are …. excited Sonshine?" he said as I slightly blushed at the nickname.
"Of course." I said as we walked and got our tickets for it. Once we got there we were allowed in and I looked up and saw...stairs. Oh boy...
"Well come on it'll take a while to get up there." Chad said and allowed me to start going up first.
*-*-*-*-at the top-*-*-*-*
I have never had to walk up so many stairs in my life...
I got to the top and leaned against the wall for support. Why did I agree to do this again?
"Sonny. You have to see this." Chad said and looked out the window. I walked up and saw an incredible view of the Atlantic, Staten Island, and NYC. The sun hit everything in just the perfect spot.
"Wow.." I said completely breathtaken.
"Beautiful isn't it?" he said with a clear smile on his face.
"Yea."
He walked closer to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. And we just stood there for I don't know how long.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*on the bus*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
~*Chad's Pov*~
So now we're on the bus to MSG, and what are we faced with? New York Traffic...aka we might be late. Marshall's on the phone with someone and looks a little stressed...wait he always looks stressed. Sonny's looking out the window and taking in the view.
"Hey Sonny can you come here for a minute?" Marshall yelled back to us. So of course she ran up to him. They talked and suddenly she looked really excited and started nodding her head feverishly and ran back here.
"So what's got you sunnier than usual?" I asked.
"I'm singing the National Anthem for the game!"
"Wow Sonny that's great!" This is awesome! I mean I've heard her sing before during that whole Trey Brothers fiasco, and she's great! And even better the traffic's starting to clear up so we'll be there on time...well hopefully.
~*Sonny's Pov*~
I can't believe I'm singing the National Anthem for a Knicks game! I'm so excited that I'm excited about how excited I am!
We pulled up to MSG and I was quickly whisked away to where I would be singing from. Chad said he would be saving my seat. I was told how the sound would be and where to stand and I ran through it a couple of times before...
"...And singing the National Anthem for us today is...Sonny Monroe!" the crowd started cheering as I stood center court. Well, all or nothing...
Oh say, can you see? By the dawn's early light...
~*Chad's Pov*~
Wow. Her voice is magical. I was blind and deaf to everyone around me all I could see or hear was her. When she finished I think I just stood there for a second until I realized she was done and then started clapping as well as she returned the microphone and ran over to us.
"So what did you guys think?" she asked. All of us were telling her how awesome it was until the game started.
"Did you really think I was that good?" she asked me.
"Sonny, you were amazing. Don't doubt yourself." I said as she had that little smile on her face that makes me melt.
*-*-*-during the game-*-*-*
Wow she really gets into these games. Well not as much as Nico but this is his home team apparently so he has every right to be into it.
Its the end of the period and Sonny and I are going to get some snacks before it starts up again...although I think she doesn't want a repeat of last time...and frankly, neither do I.
"So what do you want? I'll pay." I asked her.
"You don't have to." she replied. Of course she would try to talk me out of it.
"But I want to."
"You sure?"
"Yes"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Good"
"Good"
"Can we just order already?" she said with a laugh.
"Well what do you want?"
"Umm...a small popcorn and a mountain dew if that's fine with you."
"Ok then."
The stadium was on the tv's in the food court and they were doing the random games and stuff. Of course one we started heading back they started the kiss cam.
"Chad we are staying back here until this is done."
"Agreed." I said as suddenly two familiar people lit up the screen.
Tawni and Nico. They just kind of looked at the screen shocked for a moment but then suddenly Nico leaned in and kissed her.
"I knew it!" We both said at the same time.
"Wait how did you know?" I asked her.
"Well I...well how did you know?" Agh can't tell her about the dream yet...
"Umm...I know people?" I said. She did not look convinced.
~*Sonny's Pov*~
Ok I'll admit Chad knows people but not that well. If only I could tell him I saw it in a dream this would be so much easier!
well my lovelies that's all for now. This took forever to write it's like 8 pages. Unfortunately chapters will still be kind of sparatic since I just started college. I'm still taking requests for places for the group to go! just review!
