Wow, the very END, I can't believe it! Quickly I wanted to thank all my readers, people who have favorited, alerted, and most of all reviewed... Whithout everyone I don't know where the story "Where To?" and the epilogue would be.

Specil thank you's go out to cocosunshine23, cheerleader19500, lalawriter2000, S-W-A-C-fan123, ComputerGirl12, Clairebear190, sonnycentral, gAnGsTa GaBbY lOvEs JoKeR, and TheChannyWizard for their reviews. Now I'll let everybody go read :)

Recap: Thinking that she had to get some advice, Sonny knew one person she could trust to understand what she was going through, and that was Tawni.

After So Random they stayed friends and kept in contact. Not as much as they did when they were teenagers, but enough to where they were still close.

Sonny grabber her cell phone of the coffee table, looking through her contacts to find Tawni's number. When she pressed talk and it started to ring on the other line, Sonny hoped it wouldn't too late at night to be calling. It was only quarter past ten, but they did have work tomorrow, and Tawni stilled talked about "getting her beauty sleep" all the time.

As what seemed like not too many rings later, Tawni was already on the other line. "Sonny?" she paused. "Do you know what time it is?"

"Yes Tawni, I'm aware of the time of day," Sonny informed looking at her clock even though she already knew the time. "I really need your help; it's sort of an emergency."

Tawni sighed, "You're lucky I'm not doing anything," Tawni stated continuing, "But hurry, because I'd like to go to sleep."

Sonny rolled her eyes smiling at the response taking this as Tawni's way of saying she was listening. "Well," Sonny began, "It's just that…Have you ever liked somebody enough to just wish they'd say something about it and take the next step?"

Tawni raised an eyebrow on the other line listening to her flustered friend not knowing where this was going. "Sonny, what are you really trying to say?" Tawni directed so Sonny would have no choice but to tell her what was going on. She did know about Sonny and Chad, so nothing would be shocking at this point.

"I want to say it's Chad, but that'd be lying." Sonny didn't know how to word what she wanted to say, but it had to come out if there was any hope. "It's me. I've always wanted to get married, and now that I have a chance of being with Chad, I'm starting to question him. I don't think he wants to marry me. And I don't want to be or sound selfish."

"Sonny, Sonny, Sonny," Tawni interrupted becoming serious, "To me it sounds like you haven't even asked him. Also on my part of lack of experience from never being engaged, why don't you just say something to him?"

Sonny was afraid she'd say something like that, but defended herself. "I know! But every time I try, my mind goes blank, and my tongue won't say a word. It's a walking disaster!"

Tawni listened more, picking at her well manicured nails.

"And besides Tawni, he's the guy. He should ask, not me," Sonny finished and took a breath trying not to get worked up.

On the other line Tawni thought Sonny was being ridiculous, "You have to be kidding. Sonny, Chad obviously adores you. Why on earth would you think he wouldn't want to marry you?"

"Because," Sonny said knowingly, "If he really wanted to, he would have asked already. He had so many opportunities."

Tawni thought about something else to say so she could get off the phone. "Sonny, maybe he's nervous-"

"But he has no reason to be!"Sonny confessed, "He knows how I feel about him. And now I want to be more than just his girlfriend…I wanna mean more…"

Sonny realized that if he wouldn't ask her and they stayed in their current relationship, it would be easier for Chad to leave in the future. "Not like he would though," Sonny mused to her self, "would he?"

"Okay Sonny. Then it's probably a commitment issue; we're talking about Chad here," Tawni said feeling finished with the conversation, "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep. I'll talk to you later, so bye."

Both of them hung up on the phone and before Sonny knew it, she was given no advice. Not knowing what to do anymore, Sonny walked to her bedroom, and flopped back on her bed. She decided that if Tawni was right and Chad had a commitment problem, then she would just have to wait and see.

--

Days ended up passing by as Sonny was waiting to see about the whole Chad deal. Sonny was even busier than ever with work. She never got to see Chad because of it also. She was tired all the time so there was no point if she'd only end up falling asleep. Chad even went out of town for a few days on top of it all which made everything really lonely. How was she supposed to feel about their conflicting schedules! Maybe it was a good thing they weren't married. They'd have no time for each other.

During a long day at work, Sonny yawned as Linda was giving Sonny a lecture on what else she had planned for the next couple days. Sometimes it was really hard to deal with a busy and chaotic life, but Sonny was so grateful she had so many people to support her.

Sonny started to drown out Linda who didn't even notice as she went on. She had to say she was actually bored at work today, which never happened. Stifling another yawn, Sonny looked out the glass windows that covered a whole wall to the outside. The wall just faced another large building so it wasn't anything to look at. Not knowing what to do except to pretend to be paying attention to her manager, Sonny heard the elevator ding announcing that it was opening. Looking over at it, behind the door Sonny saw the ever familiar blonde that had left a few days ago and hadn't talked to for a while but for the occasional conversations in the morning and night.

Sonny's eyes brightened up, smiling and without looking back at Linda she ran across the room as fast as she could. She couldn't believe he was really here, who knew after days of being apart it felt like years. Chad held his half smile, and held out his arms waiting for the impact so Sonny wouldn't break his arms. That could be really bad for his career.

From behind Sonny she heard Linda shout, "Sonny!"

Ignoring her she got to Chad, "Chad!" Sonny screamed excited, "what are you doing here?"

Crashing into Chad's body, Sonny almost knocked him over, but luckily there was a wall behind him keeping them up.

Chad kept his arms around Sonny's waist aware of the people around them. "I got back from New York a couple of hours ago, and thought you'd like a visit."

"And thank goodness you did," Sonny declared with a sigh of relief, "Linda was about to talk my ear off again."

As they both laughed, Chad pulled away. "Now that I'm back though, we're going out to dinner tonight, so be ready by six thirty."

Sonny didn't want to give him the satisfaction of assuming she was going to go, even though she did want to. "So what, six days away from me made you miss me?" she said referring to three days of non stop work, then the other three he spent in New York.

Chad shook his head, "No, it's more for you. We both know how desperate you sounded the other day on the phone to have me back."

Chad winked, making Sonny shove him playfully, "I did not sound desperate."

"Okay, whatever you say," He gave up wanting to cut to the chase. "So once again, I'll pick you up at your apartment at six thirty. We have reservations at seven."

Sonny rolled her eyes lightheartedly looking off to the side. Then Chad finished, "I'd really love to hang out here but," Chad joked looking around. "I've got to go talk to someone about the trip."

"And now you just leave? You only came here to make my day longer," Sonny insist.

He ignored her but held back a laugh and pressed the elevator button for him self, giving Sonny one last look, "Make sure to dress nice," Chad finished as the door opened.

Walking into the elevator, he pressed the button for the first floor, and as the doors were about to close he smirked back. Sonny gave a weak smile back, as the doors were fully closed. Waving back slowly at the metal door, Sonny sighed again knowing she still had a lot to do before Chad was going to pick her up.

Thinking of the night that was going to coming, Sonny jogged back to Linda apologizing for a minute ago. For just another second, Sonny promised her self mentally to try hard in getting him to say something about a possible relationship or if he didn't want that in life. Sonny was really set on getting him to get the first say.

The day seemed to drag on more, but as six thirty was around the corner Sonny was getting her self ready. And just as Chad had asked, she dressed nice. Chad had called just minutes after she was done putting the final touches for her self, and Sonny waited on the ground floor of the building.

Surprisingly Chad showed up at six thirty on the dot in his convertible. Jumping in the car, Sonny noticed Chad was also dressed really nice in what reminded her of what he used to wear on the set of Mackenzie Falls occasionally. Starting to stare, she realized it was as if he was trying to impress her, but she hadn't a clue as to why.

He rarely took out his convertible because he didn't want it to get scratched or touched for the most part, and he was almost acting just as weird as her.

It finally occurred to Sonny that maybe this could be the day! The day Chad was going to ask a certain question she'd been waiting for.

Sitting in the car, Sonny began getting giddy and showed it be fidgeting every two seconds in excitement of thinking 'what if.'

"Having trouble sitting still?" Chad questioned, amused. He raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer.

"No," Sonny lied badly, knowing Chad saw through it. She laughed at her self and avoided eye contact with Chad, "…Well yes. But I don't know." She felt confused as to what she should've said at all, but rubbed it off swiftly.

Continuing the silence for a couple more minutes, Sonny decided to jump start the conversation. "So Chad how was New York?"

Chad thought about it for a moment before replying, "It was alright. I mean it's always cool to go somewhere else, but I think I prefer California any day."

Since Chad had lived in California majority of his life, it was no doubt as to why he preferred it more. It was his home.

"Besides I really didn't do anything there. It was just promotion stuff," Chad went on shrugging his shoulder as he drove.

Sonny nodded and took the moment in. The sky turning a hazy gray from the sun setting, and shadows began casting from every building they passed. Sonny thought of what could possibly be happening in about an hour or two, and thought she could imply something to Chad to see if she was right.

"So why are you going all out tonight?" Sonny asked, "It's not everyday you chance on taking out your convertible, and take me out somewhere as nice as where I have to dress up."

Chad thought about for a minute trying to think of something clever. As nothing came, he just remarked, "Now I can't take you out to do anything nice? I mean come on, would you rather we stay at home and do nothing, it's up to you?" Chad smiled haughtily liking his come back.

Stopping at a stop sign he asked, "I can turn around right now."

"No," Sonny jumped in abruptly, "I'm happy with going out." Sonny smiled brightly, hoping he wasn't going to turn around and just forget about proposing to her ever.

Chad smiled at her outburst, "Exactly what I thought."

Sonny rolled her eyes in defeat. None of that even hinted towards him that he would propose.

--

It didn't take too long to get to the restaurant, but they arrived just a little before seven which was just in time for the reservation. Chad went up the waitress who stood at a podium and was looking down at a black booklet with lists of names and said, "Reservations for Cooper."

The women who looked in her thirties looked up with a serious, business look that quickly vanished. She took a deep breath and grabbed her heart as if she was about to have a heart attack. "Oh my… you, you're Chad Dylan Cooper," she looked star struck.

On any occasion Chad would have shot a smile and got her an autograph, but today he just wanted to be with Sonny because they hadn't gotten to talk too much lately.

"Yea, that's me. But it would be really great if we," he pointed to himself and Sonny, "could be seated…quietly." He said the last part because as soon as one person like her goes off, everyone usually joined.

The waitress nodded enthusiastically, "Certainly."

As soon as she took a step forward about to show them there seat, some people perked up at the two familiar faces. Continuing to stride to their table, Sonny and Chad sat down at a table near the back at the restaurant. The exited waitress gave them their menus, and took one last look of awe before leaving.

Sonny raised an eyebrow at the waitress that left, and looked at Chad, "That was a little…"

"Over the top?" Chad inquired, making the same face.

Sonny sourly smiled agreeing.

"Whatever, at least it's over," Chad mumbled. "Now let's just get over it and try to have a decent time." Chad didn't want crazed fans for the both of them to ruin their night.

"Right," Sonny said with a small nod and looked down at her menu.

As Sonny was about to comment about the menu to Chad, behind her she heard a scream making everyone in the restaurant turn their heads.

"Chad Dylan Cooper!" a blonde girl who looked to be in her early twenties yelled as if she'd never seen anyone famous before. Everyone traced her eye contact back to the couple, looking between the calm two, and the fan. Some more people gaped at Chad and Sonny, and began speaking to whoever they had come with that night.

Chad whispered, "And here comes the domino effect."

Sonny groaned sarcastically, "great."

Soon after a waiter had came by asking if they were ready to order and in unison they both said, "Yes!" If they had it their way at this moment they just wanted to order, eat and leave. While waiting for food, people as they were about to leave came to Sonny and Chad asking for autographs and pictures, but they said no to any pictures. Everything was beyond annoying, and nobody would give them more than three seconds to be alone the whole time. Even as they ate some more people who had just gotten there couldn't be polite as they asked for more autographs.

Chad mouthed, "I'm sorry," over to a disappointed Sonny as he signed a slip of paper. Sonny weakly smiled back, shrugging as if it was no problem, but they both knew tonight was ruined. Sonny signed the same paper after, and went back to eating before someone else came along. Every hope Sonny had vanished.

She felt silly and childish to think Chad would have ever proposed. She also didn't want to say anything at this point either. If he didn't want to marry her, she wouldn't want to pressure him. Sonny sighed thinking, she was just wasting her time.

After dinner was finally over, they walked outside together and could finally breathe. Chad told Sonny to "hold on one second" before he decided to tell valet he was ready for his car.

When he did, Sonny came up from behind him, and laid her head on Chad's should as they waited. "Today was crazy," she mumbled quietly, but enough for Chad to hear.

Chad agreed, "But I did say I was sorry."

Sonny nodded as her head still rested against him. "You don't have to be sorry though. We both have high demand jobs as being actors, and fans just come with the package deal."

Chad agreed again, "Yep, but I hate to say it… I do feel bad. I wasn't really expecting this. I had other things in mind," Chad said drifting off in thought. "I'm also going to complain to the manager and owner, about the bad service. They could've made that a much better situation for us, but some of them were just as bad as the fans."

About a couple minutes later, a person came up with Chad's car, getting out, and ushering them in.

The whole way back to Sonny's apartment was in silence. They really didn't know what to say after what happened back at the restaurant, now they didn't want to talk about anything. Sonny didn't know why, but even though she could tell how Chad felt about marriage, at the moment Sonny didn't care now. She still loved Chad's company and wanted to stay with him.

As Sonny and Chad pulled up in front of Sonny's apartment, sonny stated, "You can come in, you know."

"Why not?" Chad commented rhetorically, "It's not like you have any crazy fans at your place," Chad joked and then suddenly became serious, "do you?"

"No way," Sonny claimed, "It's a no fan zone." They both laughed.

Chad did end up parking his convertible and joined Sonny inside. Finally they were able to spend their time having a conversation that wasn't interrupted, by phone calls, fans or work. It was nice for a change.

They got to talk more about stories that happened when they were younger, also funny stories about the people they had to work with everyday, and even other famous people who they had to work with on movies. She didn't know why, but they even recalled the whole photograph and Tristan thing that seemed like it took place decades ago even thought it was only about a year and a half. Never once did anybody talk about the future, it was just the past and the present. Sonny was so happy just to be with Chad, everything felt better and she wouldn't know what to do without him. He was a huge part of her life, and she still wasn't quite ready to let it all go.

As it got darker Sonny knew her time with Chad was close to being up, and for a strange growing reason she wished he didn't have to leave tonight.

Lying on her bed, Sonny smiled at Chad as he entered the room after getting something to drink for him self from the kitchen. He looked really cute just standing there, taking a sip of water out of his water bottle. Chad saw her staring at him and gave her a half smile asking, "What?"

Sonny blushed looking down at comforter, fiddling with it, "Nothing," she replying innocently as if she was scolded.

Chad rolled his eyes good-humoredly, "You can't resist me even if you tried anymore."

Sonny shook her head, "Yea, whatever."

Chad raised his eyebrows amused, "Oh, so you're saying you can resist. Really Sonny, I wouldn't be so sure."

"If I wanted I could." Sonny affirmed with a mischievously smile as if she won the conversation.

Chad set down his water bottle on a side table and looked back at Sonny ready to prove her wrong. "Then I guess you'd be able to prove that then, right?"

Sonny nodded strongly, "Oh course."

Chad shrugged, taking steps toward the bed and jumped right next to her. As he leaned over her, Sonny heated up and any resistance she harbored was close to gone. Chad smirked, leaning closer to Sonny face. Sonny met his lips half way and closed her eyes getting into the moment. Sonny moved closer, and sat up not breaking the kiss for one moment.

As it was about to get more heated, they heard a sudden load pound from beneath Sonny's floor. Quickly braking apart, Sonny opened her eyes, looking at Chad confused, only to find he had the same expression. Then they heard a muffled voice shout, "Keep it down!" Looking down at the floor, Sonny knew it was her downstairs neighbors. Sonny flushed feeling embarrassed and looked back at Chad who looked as if to be thinking.

"Yea Chad," Sonny joked, "Shh, you need to keep it down."

Chad looked up at her at her entertained and chuckled. As they were still really close together, Chad responded, "I guess as soon as we're married we'll get you out of this apartment."

Sonny was about to look past that comment, but looked up in utter disbelief. "Chad…?"

Ignoring her, he continued, "Then we won't have to worry about sharing a building with anyone."

As Chad leaned in closer about to kiss her again, Sonny pressed out her hand to stop him. She had a smiling playing on her lips and Sonny had to ask, "Chad…Are you…?"

"Asking you to marry me?" he smirked cutely. "Yea." Sonny grinned bigger than ever before as Chad dug in his pocket looking for something. Pulling out a small, black box, Chad quickly asked, "Do I have to go down to one knee?"

Sonny shook her head, "no" not being able to speak. As he opened up the small box revealing an engagement ring, Sonny hand flew to her mouth.

Chad sat up straighter and looked at Sonny's face. He had to smile back, "Will you marry me?"

Sonny laughed, still covering her mouth with her hand. She felt like she would cry, but it passed and Sonny shouted, "Yes!" Jumping on him, she wrapped he arms around him not being able to let him go.

Chad hugged her back, and whispered in her ear, "surprised?"

Sonny nodded quickly in the crock of his neck. "Yes. You had no idea of how worried I was. For a second I thought you didn't want to marry me."

Chad smiled, "I had to wait for the right moment. I would have done it earlier, but the whole restaurant thing had way too many interruptions."

Sonny pulled back admiring the ring in the box, "When did you get the ring?"

Chad smiled, "I actually got it in New York. I thought if I got it in California, photographers would get some pictures and there wouldn't have been a surprise. But I've been wanting to ask, trust me."

Sonny held back a smile not wanting to seem like she had ever been desperate, "As long as you asked."

They smiled at each other, and Chad touched the side of Sonny's face. Inching closer together, Sonny closed her eyes and was caught with Chad's lips. Smiling in the kiss not believing this was happening right now; Sonny grabbed Chad's hand sweetly and placed it on her lap as Sonny moved even closer to him. The kiss was more ardent then ever before and they weren't ready for it to end. As Chad deepened the kiss, Sonny thought that maybe Chad had gotten the hints after all. He was just a tease.

--

Sonny smiled back at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, as she took in her long, white wedding gown. Touching the details of fabric, and taking in her appearance, Sonny would've laughed at the thought months ago, but now it was here. After a few months of wedding preparation, more tabloid attacks, and dreaded work, the next part of Sonny's life came.

As Sonny was just about to walk to the entrance of the restroom to go back out to the reception, the door quickly swung open.

"Sonny," an irritated Tawni came in, "Yours and Chad's dance in happening in like a minute, but that's really hard to do without you there. What are you doing?"

Sonny laughed at her bridesmaid, "I'm coming I was just taking it all in. I still can't believe it."

"Well you'd better start believing, because your husband is waiting for you," Tawni emphasized. "Besides, some people on your side of the family are starting to interrogate him."

Sonny ginned at the thought of Chad being questioned by people from her family, and decided she'd better go save him. "Let's go," Sonny affirmed, and Tawni opened the door for the both of them to go out to the courtyard where the reception was playing out.

"And by the way Sonny," Tawni started, "if I don't see you again tonight, I just wanted to tell you that this is the only day I'll let you be prettier than me. So make sure you stay with Chad."

If that was telling Sonny good luck and she looked nice, she would accept it gratefully. "Thank you," Sonny answered before Tawni gave one last smile and walked away.

Holding onto her dress carefully so it wouldn't drag across the ground, Sonny looked around the lit up area for Chad, but could only see all the guests. Sighing, she looked even closer for him when somebody came up behind her wrapping their arms around her waist. Knowing it was Chad, Sonny smiled as he whispered, "Hello Mrs. Cooper."

She giggled and turned around placing her arms around his neck so they stayed embraced. As she met Chad's blue eyes, Sonny bit her lip smiling, "That could take some getting use to," she admitted.

"This whole idea could take some getting use to," Chad added. "How about we go have our first dance, so we can get the real party started that everybody's been waiting for?"

Sonny tilted her head dreamily still lost in thought but replied, "Yea, don't want anyone to start a riot."

Walking towards the dance floor together, the crowed cheered, and some people cat called jokingly. As music began to play, Chad took Sonny's hand, and placed the other on her back while Sonny grabbed his hands as well and positioned her other on his shoulder. Beginning to dance slowly with the music, Sonny looked Chad in the eyes as her heart skipped a beat. "Chad…You have no idea how happy I am."

Chad smirked at her for the first time as her husband, "I think I have a clue."

As Sonny moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder, Sonny muffled, "I love you."

"Back at ya," Chad joked which made Sonny pull her face away not happy with his joke.

"Really Chad, you're going to do this right here?" Sonny inquired.

Chad shrugged as they still danced and laughed at his wife. "I was just kidding," Chad insisted. "I love you too."

Sonny rolled her eyes soft-heartedly and played back, "Good. If you didn't this would have been a bad idea, and Tawni would be really upset if I had to get married again."

As soon as the first dance was almost over, Chad leaned over towards Sonny. "Let me guess…Now you'll want kids?"

Smiling at his question, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, we just got married," Sonny teased.

"I didn't mean it like that," Chad exclaimed, but gave up letting Sonny get away with it for now.

"Uh huh, sure," Sonny pressured picking a fight. With a small smirk plastered on her face, the song ended and before Chad could retort anything, they heard a chorus of clinging glasses as tradition for the bride and groom to kiss. Slightly frowning forgotten about the crowd they had, they both shook it off, and did as tradition was told. Sonny leaned closer to Chad with a smile kissing him as he gladly obliged.

Sonny was happy, especially after thinking that this moment would have never came months ago if he wouldn't have gotten the hint. But then again maybe he was oblivious to her hints the whole time and came up with the decision by him self. Either way, she was so happy to say that Chad was hers.

If she hadn't seen him again at the time she was caught between all those photographers a couple years ago, she didn't know what he life would've bee like; but she could say it would be defiantly not as happy as she was now.

I hope it was a good ending and everyone was in character, I tried my hardest for you guys, I even had to rewrite the wedding scene. Anyway, please review telling me what your thoughts, it means the world to me :D
