It was never over- Chapter one- Waiting

It had been five years since So Random! ended. Five incredible years for the actors of the sketchy comedy show. Nico Harris and Grady Mitchell carried their legacy of comedy and became comedians of the highest paid show in Las Vegas. People from all over went to watch them. Zora Lancaster became the new host of a newer version of Punk'd and many others. Tawni Hart became a very high paid movie star, starring in many hits, and guest starring on many of the hottest TV shows. But the So Random star who had hit the most fame, the most fans, the most stardom, was indeed Sonny Munroe.

Sonny had been the newest addition to the comedy show, but by far the favorite to many. She led the show to four excellent high ranking seasons and picked up two Emmy's along the road, one for Best Comedy show and one for Best Actress in a Comedy show. When the show ended Sonny instantly was turned into a movie star, starring in glamorous movies opposite of Zac Efron and Nick Jonas and many more. She was in many movies, winning many awards… but one. The Oscar. The most prestigious award you could get, but she was nominated this year, for the highest honor… Best Actress. So as you can see, she really has built herself a nice, steady, stable career.

But her life after So Random! wasn't all that perfect. Sure, she was becoming one of the best actresses of her generation, but behind the scenes it was all that great. With Sonny being twenty, her mom decided it was time she retired back to Wisconsin. This devastated Sonny. Luckily she had Tawni and they moved in to a nice house together.

Her love life was another story. Her boyfriend was one of the best actors in their generation and he knew it. They started off on a rocky path, but the tension became too much and they both caved. He was none other than Chad Dylan Cooper. But when So Random ended three years after they started dating, so did they, in a split for the books. It was bad, leaving both stars heartbroken. But now five years later the world had forgotten about them, except for a few die-hard 'Channy' fans and so had the two stars themselves. They looked back now and asked why?

Chad Dylan Cooper. Those three words would make a young girl or even young adult scream out loud. As a teen he starred as Mackenzie in Mackenzie Falls, a hit teen drama. His show ended when he was twenty-one, one season after So Random made their final debut. He was now viewed as the sexiest man alive, winning the title for PEOPLE magazine when he was twenty-four. His career sky-rocketed after the teen drama ended. He too, was nominated this year for an Oscar. But just like Sonny, it was his first time and speculation for a 'Channy' reunion was going to be huge.

"Can you believe this? Look… Sonny Munroe is who we think will win big this year, along with ex-boyfriend Chad Dylan Cooper. Unbelievable." Sonny read to Tawni from one of those gossip magazines.

"What's so unbelievable? You're the favorite, as in the one everyone wants to win. I don't see the problem." Tawni stared at Sonny strangely.

"Yeah but look… Could there be a 'Channy' reunion? We all know how cute the two were together. Everyone was rooting for them… blah, blah, blah!" Sonny flopped the magazine down on the kitchen table of hers and Tawni's Hollywood home.

"So what? Nervous because you haven't seen Chad in five years?"

"I've seen him."

"Commercials and movies don't count." Tawni told her.

"At parties." Sonny stated.

"You never talked to him thought." Tawni pointed out.

"I still saw him! Isn't that enough?" Sonny shouted.

"Sonny, Sonny, Sonny…" Tawni shook her head. "You're going to be at the Oscars with him. With you both being nominated for the highest award, you're bound to run into each other."

"You'll be there too." Sonny whispered.

"I'm not going to be with you the entire time. It's time you reunited anyways."

"How? How is it time?" Sonny questioned.

"You haven't spoken in five years. He was your first love Sonny, for reasons I still don't understand. You're both the most well known stars of our generation, as much as I hate to admit it. It's time."

"I'll make sure to bring a hot date." Sonnies mumbled under her breathe.

"The hottest guy you could bring to make Chad jealous, or a statement, is Chad… or Zac Efron, who's taken." Tawni explained.

"I'll figure something out." And Sonny knew that she would.

"Would you look at that? They think I'm going to win. I'm the favorite this year!" Chad pointed at the magazine.

"Hey look, they think Sonny will win too!" Portlyn said excitedly. She and Sonny had grown close while Chad and Sonny were dating. They still talk, just not as much as they used too considering Chad and Sonny are no longer Chad and Sonny.

"Ooo, no one cares Port."

"I do! And you do too, deep down."Portlyn told him.

"We haven't spoken in… five years? And the last time we did things did not end well. You know that." Chad pointed out.

"Well, it says here that there is sure to be a 'Channy' reunion, oh how I missed hearing that name." Portlyn laughed and continued. "Especially since you both are set to present. Oh what if you present together!" Portlyn clapped her hands together. She always did love Chad and Sonny together. Sonny made Chad a better person.

"That's not going to happen if they want to keep the Oscars PG. Besides I'll make sure to steer clear o her." Chad told himself that more than he told Portlyn.

"Yeah right." She scoffed. "You two are bound to meet up. It's been five years, it's time."

"Well then I'll make sure to bring a hot date." Chad smiled knowing just who to bring.

Sonny had no idea what to do, she was stumped. Sure, she had her dress. It was purple with sparkles running down it. It was elegant, stunning, and beautiful. Sure, she had her hair style picked out. Sure, she had her nails French manicured and all her jewelry bought, but still she had no date. Everyone was either busy or already had a date. No one was left, she couldn't think of anyone. "Tawni, what am I going to do? I can't show up to the Oscars without a date."

"What about taking someone from Wisconsin?" Tawni suggested.

"Chad is supposedly taking Demi Lovato. I can't take someone from home." Sonny whined.

"You know, for someone who doesn't care for Chad anymore, you sure sound jealous."

"Me? Jealous, of Chad? HAH!" Sonny scoffed. "That's like a cat being jealous of a dog, never going to happen. He just can't get more publicity than me. This is my time, Chad Dylan Cooper will not stand in my way ever again."

"Whatevs, but listen Sonny, if you want big publicity, you need to be seen talking to Chad." Tawni told her seriously.

"I want good publicity not bad." Sonny explained.

"Publicity is publicity, good or bad. It's the same."

"Just like men." It instantly hit Sonny, she knew just who to take.

"I don't get it. Why are you doing this again?" Portlyn asked for like the billionth time.

"Yeah Chad, if you want to make her jealous just-." Chad cut Chastity off before she could finish. "I do not want to make her jealous. I just don't want her getting more publicity than me."

"You do know that if she wins and you don't, she will get more publicity than you." Portlyn added.

"You two don't get it. This will be the first time I have talked, let alone see, Sonny Munroe in five years. Whoever comes out on top that night wins."

"Wins what?" Chastity asked.

"Everything! The fans, the friends, the tabloids, the roles, everything!" Chad yelled.

"What if it's a tie?"

"There are no such things as ties in my world."

"You and Sonny are so blind it's crazy. You both want more publicity than the other, that's crazy. You're both trying to outdo the other, that's stupid. It's so obvious you still have feelings for her. I don't get why you guys can't just talk for once instead of all adults. When it comes to the other you both start to act like teenagers again." Portlyn waved her hands around like a lunatic.

"The Oscars are in five weeks, I've got to figure something out and fast." Chad told himself, ignoring Portlyn.

"Wow, Sonny, you look fantastic. I mean, wow. I don't know what else to say besides that and it's been awhile."

"That it has." Sonny smile, pleased with what was going on. "I gotta say too, you look better than ever Hayden."

Hayden let a goofy smile grow upon his face. "Thanks Sonny. You know, I'm glad you called. I always really like you."

"Well I honestly don't know what to say to that. But I am glad I'm going to be spending the Oscars sitting next to you." Sonny flirted.

"I am too, I really am. I'm glad we're finally giving this a try. I thought for sure you and-." Hayden was interrupted. "That will never be. It's long over between us."

"Good. He always bothered me, with his attitude, his show, the way he was around you, everything. He was just way to cocky." Hayden spilled.

"What do you mean the way he was around me?" Sonny asked curiously.

"I don't know. It's not a big deal. I just thought he was really protective of you. I mean, around you he was a completely different person than, well when he wasn't around you, or how he is now." Hayden shrugged.

"You've seen him recently?" Sonny questioned. "Yeah and I wish I hadn't." Hayden laughed.

"Well everything you said about him… it makes two of us."

"Really, Sonny? Really? I would have never thought you would agree, given your history."

Sonny sat in her seat frozen. Flashbacks and memories ran through her mind. What Hayden had just said sounded just like his cocky, arrogant self. The laughter, the jokes, the good times flashed through her head. All his smart ass comments, all their 'Fine, Fine, Good, Good' fights, all his 'Really, Sonny? Really's?' She suddenly felt sick.

"Sonny… are you alright?" Hayden worried.

"Fine, just great. So where were we?" Sonny faked a smile, pushing all the memories back into their spots in the back of her mind, where they had been nestled, untouched until now, for the last five years.

"Hayden! Hayden, of all people. Hayden!" Chad shouts could be heard all the way across the world. He threw the magazine down onto the brown wooden table in his Hollywood home's living room.

"Jeez, for someone who doesn't get jealous, you sure are looking a little green." Grady told Chad slyly. Grady and Chastity had been dating for the last couple of years, so Chad and he had grown close. Although Grady still would choose Sonny over Chad any day, they just had a brother and sister bond, Chad was like the cool guy everyone wants to be friends with. He could tell you anything and it'd be right. He really was a smart, witty guy.

"Seriously, look at this! 'Hayden's going big, Sonny's settling down. It's only been four weeks, but these two stars have been out together almost every night. What made Sonny finally choose Hayden? How will this affect her career, along with Hayden's? Could this finally be it? What about Chad Dylan Cooper, how will he feel? We have a good feeling about this.' This is bullshit. Why would Sonny go out with him?" Chad spit out, he could not believe this! Sonny could not do this to him.

"Chillax Chad. Sonny's definitely not settling down for him. He's just for fun, to excite up her life. Hayden's totally not the one for her." Grady hinted at.

"I don't care about that! I just can't believe she actually chose someone from our past. Now that means I have to too… and I know just who." It suddenly hit Chad, like a ton of bricks. She had been right in front of him the entire time. She was even friends with Sonny! It was perfect. It would drive Sonny crazy! This would be an Oscars no one would forget.

The Academy Awards. The most watched award show around. The best of the best, all together in one evening. The most fun, moving awards ever! This year was sure to be bigger and better than ever before.

Stars lined the red carpet, flash after flash. Paparazzi and fans on the outside trying to locate their favorite star. The biggest of the best were all there. When Sonny Munroe showed up with her new beau, the reaction was huge.

"We have got Best Actress nominee Sonny Munroe here, with her new beau, talented Hayden. So how are you? You look fantastic." Ryan Secrest complimented the brilliant star.

"Thank you! You know I'm on cloud nine right now. Even if I don't win I don't care. To be nominated… that itself is so unbelievable. I can't even describe it." Sonny smiled.

"I bet. So has any drama found its way to you yet? Have you seen a certain CDC yet?" Ryan took a bold move asking her the question she had been dreading.

"I haven't, but I'm not exactly looking out for him either. This is a big night; I don't think anything could bring me down tonight." Sonny smiled yet again, but this one fake. She really wasn't ready to see or talk to Chad; it wasn't on her list to do tonight.

"Alright, well good luck to you. You look beautiful. We are all rooting for you. Giuliana back to you." The camera's flipped to Giuliana. "Well Ryan, I'm here with the Chad Dylan Cooper himself, who brought along the stunning Selena Gomez. How is it going so far tonight?"

"It's amazing. Everything is so amazing." Selena answered.

"Well you look gorgeous. Chad how nervous are you?"

"I'm shaking, I'm so nervous. I've never been nominated before and that's really amazing all by itself. I'm just honored, really blessed." Chad told her sincerely.

"You are so down to earth, I love it! I hope you win tonight. So have you seen a certain ex-random and her new beau?" The interviewer asked suspiciously.

"I have not. No good drama yet. But I'm not exactly keeping my eyes out for her either." Chad laughed even though he was dead serious.

"Alright, well great talking to you. Good luck tonight! Let's head on inside for the big show."

The awards were starting. The actors and actresses filed in left and right. Everyone was chatting away excitedly, stoked that the show was finally beginning. The most anticipated Oscars were starting, nervous talking was still surrounding the theatre. No one knew who would come out on top tonight. No one knew what the two favorites of the evening were up too. No one knew if they had met up. No one knew if they would meet up. No one knew what would happen. The element of surprise was going to hit hard tonight and not just at the show.

The people in the audience wanted drama and juicy stories to go home with. They wanted the latest scandals to be presented tonight. Well, just wait until the two big nominees for the night found out who they were presenting with and for what. The five letter word would surely be caused, and everyone had no idea how surprising it would be.
