I know, I should be working on my other stories, but I just wanted to hurry and get the Prologue/Trailer up. This is for Dancing on Rainbows' "Un-Cliche the Cliches" challenge. I chose Option Three: James tries to get Sonny back.

Special thanks goes to TrinityFlower of Memories for helping me get this together, and giving me feedback, suggestions, and ideas. Also credit to Sonny at Twilight because I used the same format for my Trailer as she did in one of her stories.

Tampering With the 'Mail' Species

Summary: James Conroy returns to Condor Studios as a temporary replacement for Josh the mail guy. But when Sonny starts receiving admiring letters, she's not quite sure who is charming her. Is someone tampering with the mail?

--P R O L O G U E--

Sonny Munroe was walking to the So Random! set for rehearsal, when she noticed her other cast mates gathering around a poster in the hallway.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Sonny greeted. She was shorter than the other Randoms- minus Zora, therefore the poster was blocked by their heads.

"Josh the mail boy is leaving and today is his last day. This is a poster for his going away party Friday night," Nico informed.

"Really? Josh is leaving?" Sonny asked. "Aw, I'm gonna miss him, he's so nice."

"Don't worry Sonny, he'll be back in a couple of months," Zora said, sympathetically placing a hand on Sonny's shoulder.

"How do you know?" Sonny asked.

"I know everything," she smiled slyly. Sonny shot her a look and Zora added, "Okay, I heard talking through the vents. Apparently he got some role playing a grocery bagger in some movie called Out of Stock, or something like that."

"So he's not playing a mail guy?" Grady asked.

"What did I just say?" Zora hissed.

"Oh. Right. Sorry," Grady said, shifting his gaze.

"Well good for him!" Sonny exclaimed. "I'll have to congratulate him at the party!"

"So, who is going to be in charge of the mail while he's gone?" Tawni asked. "We don't need some nosy screw up who reads our stuff. Josh maybe needs a makeover, but at least we can trust him."

"I don't know, they're going to hire someone temporarily," Zora informed. That girl really did know everything.

"I'm sure they'll get someone who has credentials," Sonny said. "They aren't going to just let some crazy in here."

"Check out that skirt…"

"Check out that purse…"

"Check out that cute guy…"

Sonny and Tawni rehearsed their latest 'Check-it-out Girls' sketch, the Check-it-out Girls Go to the Mall.

Then they spotted a tall guy, pushing around a mail cart. His face was hidden, but it was evident in his swagger and style that he had to be hot.

"Check out the new mail guy," Tawni improvised.

Slowly, the new worker turned around to face them, flashing a debonair grin.

"James!?" the two girls stood there baffled, mouths agape.

"What are you doing here?" Tawni asked, finally breaking the silence.

"Just wanted to return back to Condor Studios, and suddenly found an opportunity," he said, giving Sonny a once over. "Maybe I'll land a role on a show, or possibly score a second chance with someone," he hinted, winking at Sonny.

"In your dreams!" Sonny huffed. "I would never give you a second chance. You were such a jerk to me. To both of us!" she huffed, nodding to Tawni.

James stepped forward, taking Sonny's small hands in his large ones. "Sonny, you've shown me the error of my ways, and I truly am sorry. I don't treat girls that way anymore. I just want another chance to prove that to you." Sonny stood still, dreamily entranced by his chocolate eyes. After a moment, she slipped out of her delirium, taking her hands back.

"Is that a line from a script? It definitely sounds like it," she stated.

"No Sonny, it's not, I mean it. So, how about a second chance?"

"Not now. You're definitely going to have to prove to me that you've changed," she said, crossing her arms against her chest.

"Oh I will, and if you change your mind, you know where to find me," he said coolly as he walked away pushing the cart through the studio.

"Surely you didn't buy any of that, did you?" Tawni snapped. "Once a jerk, always a jerk."

Sonny mumbled something incoherent, gaining a sigh from Tawni. Once again, she would have to keep an eye on her friend. She didn't want to have to vacuum up any more pieces of Sonny's broken heart- again, because Tawni Hart doesn't vacuum.

--T R A I L E R--

Suddenly Sonny begins getting admiring letters in the mail…

"Wow, this is really sweet. Who gave this to you?"

But are the letters really from the guy she thinks they're from?

"Maybe he really has changed."

Is someone tampering with the mail?

"I promise, I saw him with my own eyes."

Does it have anything to do with the new mail guy?

"It wasn't me I swear!"

Or a three-named heartthrob?

"I would never say that! You know I don't feel that way about you."

Did James really change his ways?

"Playing hard to get… I love it!"

Is someone falling hard?

"I know you're going to be mad, and you probably don't want to hear this, but… I tried- I really did."
