THANKS AGAIN! (:

"You knelt to the ground,
and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress,
it's a love story, baby just say yes."
We were both young when I first saw you..."

- Taylor Swift, Love Story

"The truth is, Santiago…" Chad said, "Sonny and I are dating."

Several gasps were heard from the live audience. Santiago reacted the same way, raising a hand over his mouth in shock. Sonny and Chad shared a worried glance, hoping their fans wouldn't take it too harsh. They had hoped for the exact opposite, craving cheers and excited shouts.

Santiago finally recovered from his shock, "You two…dating?"

Sonny nodded. "We've been together for two months, so we decided it was time to tell all of our fans. It wouldn't be fair to lie and keep it from them."

The show host nodded in understanding, flipping through his note cards for something quick or witty to say to them to start a good rumor. Truth it, his magazine sales were down and adding on to this story was exactly what he needed. He could easily pull one on them and make it seem like they have different intentions with each other.

"So, are you two being safe?" He asked, smirking at the couple.

Sonny's eyebrows creased. "Uh, what–" She began, cut off by Chad elbowing her. She looked at him questioningly, confused by his actions. He just gave her a curt nod, shushing her.

"Um, Santiago, we both believe to wait until marriage." Sonny nodded in realization, chuckling to herself. So that's what Santiago was up to, eh? Nothing gets past Sonny Monroe!

"Sonny doesn't seem to think so. She's over there laughing." Santiago retorted, smirking.

"I'm sure she's laughing about something else," he assured the interviewer. "Right, Sonny?" He asked, talking through his teeth.

"Oh, of course. I was just thinking about a new So Random! sketch we have coming out! Speaking of So Random!, why don't we talk about it?" She offered hopefully, dying to change the subject. The host must have caught on and he complied, agreeing to let the female star share news about her So Random!'s new season.

Four years later…

Chad dialed the phone number of his girlfriend of four years. They had stayed together through thick and thin ever since the interview with Teen Weekly, not breaking up once. Both of them stayed faithful, though, still as completely infatuated with one another as they were when they first decided to become a couple. The fan uproar eventually died down and everything negative came to a halt. Even the paparazzi that followed the couple around had quit pestering them so much.

He crossed his fingers that she would answer. He had been planning this night for weeks, right down to the minute in order to make it perfect and memorable for the both of them. Chad had even checked the whether every single hour that day to make sure nothing would swoop in and ruin his very important plans.

"Hey babe," Chad greeted, thankful that she answered the call.

She grinned into the phone, "Hey!" Chad's heart soared when he heard her angelic voice answer him and he felt the butterflies that he loved to hate return.

"How are you?" He asked, hoping she wasn't in a bad or sick mood.

"I'm great. I'm a little tired from filming today, though. Apparently the viewer count went down so Marshall has been pushing us extra hard. We filmed four episodes today! I just need a break, y'know?" She sighed.

"Yeah I can definitely relate." He thought on his feet, "How about we get together tonight so you can relax?"

"Sure, I'm free. The rest of my cast has been going easier on me for ditching pizza night to go out with you so often." She told him. He would have to thank Tawni later for complying with his request. He asked her in advance to let her miss their weekly dinner this week.

Chad chuckled, "How about I treat you to a real meal?"

She sighed, "I'm not really in the mood to go eat at some fancy restaurant, Chad."

"Good. Then we can go jump from the waterfall in our meadow and spend some time together. It'd almost be like we were the last people on Earth." Chad smiled, looking down at the picture of his girlfriend and himself on his bedside table lovingly. It was a photograph of the two of them taken by the paparazzi, but the couple hadn't seen the photographers and were snapped gazing into each others eyes happily. It must have been at least two or three years prior, yet they still looked at each other with the same desire as that day.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," she quoted him from four years ago, grinning from ear to ear.

"So you'll pick you up at six?" He asked her, crossing his fingers once again.

She nodded into the phone, "Sounds like a plan, Stan."

Chad smiled. "Okay, I'll see you then. Love you, Sonshine."

"Love you too, Chad," she grinned, hanging up the phone and walking into her closet.

Sonny pulled out various dresses, nice tops and skirts, laying them all across her bed as she considered wearing each one. Chad had mentioned jumping off the waterfall, so it couldn't be anything she had spent too much money on. But he also told her it would be like the old days, so if she was the only girl there, she would want to look as dashing and beautiful as ever.

She had a girl's instinct that tonight was going to be special so she decided on a pretty floral pink sundress that she'd never worn before. It had faded paisley designs at the top and the bottom was solid pink, the two separated by an inch-thick black ribbon.

She tied her hair in braids and let them sit while she applied her make-up, taking and shaking them out to leave behind a nice beachy wave hairstyle. She strapped on some black sandals and sat down on the couch to watch some TV before Chad's arrival.

Tonight was going to be a night to remember.

.:.:.:.:.

Chad arrived right on time, politely knocking on Sonny's apartment door and allowing her to answer it. After all, it would be rude to simply barge in. Sonny had changed Chad – he wasn't the same conceited, careless teenager he was four years ago.

She opened the door, wearing the most fitting, gorgeous sundress he had ever seen her in. She was trying to make this as hard as she could for him, wasn't she?

"Wow, Sonny, you look…" He continued, "I can't even think of a word to describe it. You look immensely beautiful."

She blushed, looking down at her shoes and returning her gaze to him. "You look very handsome as well, boyfriend."

"Thank you, girlfriend," he laughed, wrapping an arm around her waist. "You ready?"

She nodded, quickly grabbing her clutch and running out the door to meet him in the hallway. They walked out the door and stepped into the elevator, riding it down to the lobby level. Chad guided her through the many people and out to the parking lot, opening the passenger door for her. He had recently upgraded his ride from that awkward, white convertible to a newer black addition. It was sleek and perfect, and most importantly, didn't smell of elephant manure.

"So where are we going? Ugh, wait, I already know that. I don't know why I'm so nervous." She babbled, blushing again. Chad grinned, she had no idea.

He traced a finger up her jaw line, "I bet I'm more nervous that you are."

"Yeah right, Chad. You seem so calm, cool and collected." She whined, sticking out her lower lip.

"It's all part of the charm, Sonshine." He grinned, taking her hand in his as he used the other to steer. Sonny's heart beat sped up as she nervously tapped her foot.

They drove the rest of the way in silence, frequently 'sneaking' glances over at the other as they both blushed furiously. The radio was playing and every time a song slightly referred to love, Chad would lightly squeeze her hand, smiling smugly to himself. He was so in love the song may as well be about the two of them.

Once they arrived at the forest entrance, Chad hopped out of the car quickly and opened Sonny's door, offering her his hand as she gladly took it, allowing him to guide her to their secret spot. It was where they first fell in love, and because of that it would always be sentimental and meaningful to them both. They soon walked out into the familiar green-grassed opening, stepping into it and sitting down on the sheet that was already laid on the ground. Next to it was a weaved wooden basket.

Sonny grinned, "You made a picnic! You planned this, didn't you?"

"Yeah…" He grinned, "But the basket it empty. The food is in a cooler in my car, so I'll have to go get it. There's a note for you in the basket, though. Read it when I'm gone."

Sonny watched as he walked away, noting that he walked straight past his car. What was going on? She took the handle of the picnic basket and pulled it over to her, opening it up and taking out the note.

It read:

Sonny,
So you're probably thinking why I didn't go to my car. I wasn't lying – the cooler is in my car – but there's another reason for why I brought you here tonight. You'll know about it soon enough, and trust me, I can't wait. Follow the clue at the end of this note and it will lead to the answer of all your questions.
Love,
Chad (:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When I was pushed in,
You jumped in too.

I squinted at the clue. If it has roses and violets, it must be around the meadow. And the only thing you can jump into around here is water. The only place it could be is… the waterfall!

Sonny took off running in direction of the waterfall, forgetting about my cute dress and expensive sandals. All she wanted to know was what the 'answer' was. He'd obviously planned this meticulously and she was ecstatic to find out what it would lead to.

Tucked under a rock near the edge of the waterfall was another piece of folded paper. She slowly walked over to it, scared to fall off. She reached the rock and snatched the note up, jumping away from the ledge in fear.

Nico is skinny,
Grady is plump,
The next clue is
Near our tree stump.

Sonny immediately knew where he was talking about. He had first asked her to be his official girlfriend on the tree stump, so it was automatically theirs. It was shortly after they were on Santiago's show, and he had brought her here and made a memory that would last for forever. Literally. In small carved letters they wrote 'CDC+ASM' across the base of it. It wouldn't be hard for her to locate.

She pushed her way back through the vines and towards the stump, crouching down next to it and picking up the next folded clue. Anticipation flew through her veins in excitement.

Now in the basket,
There's plenty to eat.
You'll find the next clue,
When you bite into your meat.

What the heck? What did he want her to do, choke?

Regardless, she walked all the way back to the basket and opened it, revealing freshly made food. There was a plastic bag with a sandwich inside of it marked Sonny, so she took it out. It didn't look deadly, it was just a normal ham sandwich.

Flipping over the sandwich bag, she saw another folded note sitting under the sandwich. She followed Chad's rules, though, and ate the sandwich quickly, for she hadn't eaten all day. As soon as the barely-chewed food scratched it's way down her through, she snatched the clue, quickly opening it and beginning to read.

Ever since I met you,
I learned all your fears,
And I know one of them is forests.
But there lies the next clue,
So after all these years,
It's time you act like a tourist.

The confusing clue led her in the middle of the forest. There was nothing here; it was deserted. Sonny began to tremble, wondering if this was some sick joke. Did he just get her all excited so he could break up with her in the middle of the woods and leave her stranded to die? Or was she on a prank show episode that he agreed to participate in?

A sudden flash of white caught her eye and she whipped her head around, snatching the piece of paper off of the tree.

X Marks the Spot, it read. What? Where's the X? Her question was soon answered as her eyes danced along the wooded area, landing underneath a giant tree where a distinct X was sketched into the ground.

"X marks the spot," she whispered happily, enthusiastic on reaching the last clue.

Sonny grabbed a sharp-edged rock next to her and began to scrape at the soil, digging until the rock came in contact with something other than dirt. She looked down to see a small golden box with a black circular button. She gasped, taking out the box an opening it. Inside was a beautiful diamond ring, with several smaller diamonds surrounding it.

She stood up with the box in hand and turned, looking up to see Chad a few inches from her face, a soft smile on his face. He grinned sheepishly, taking the gold box in his hand and getting down on one knee.

"Sonny Monroe, I love you." She immediately knew where this was going. "I've loved you since the day I met you, even if you were in that hideous fat suit. You may have not known at the time, but I fell for you that day. I fell for your smile and your big brown eyes, even if I didn't know that all your weight belonged to Madge. I may have slipped a few times, showing my feelings when I dressed up as Eric, danced with you at prom, and finally when I asked you out. And I'm so glad I did, Sonny, because these have been the best four years of my life." He told her, a slight crooked smile on his face.

She searched his eyes for any joking or amused expression but failed to find one, deciding this was the real deal. He was finally proposing after four years of being together. He was clearly nervous, but she didn't see why – didn't he see that she would do whatever with him, whenever?

"Sonny…" He continued nervously. Sonny watched Chad knowingly, her heart beating faster then ever as words escaped her. Her hands shook with nerves as she felt like her throat was closing up in happiness. "Will you marry me?" He asked sincerely, his voice slightly wavering.

Sonny let out a ragged breath, trying to quickly gather herself together to not cause him further agony from not answering. She nodded enthusiastically, falling into his arms and wrapping her own around his neck. She softly pressed her lips to his with enthusiasm, her lips peppering his face with kisses. Her warm breath tickled Chad's lips and he shivered slightly.

"Of course I'll marry you, Chad," she grinned, tears welling up in her eyes as a few of them fell. He wiped them with the pad of his thumb, cupping her cheek in his hand as she nuzzled into his touch. He took advantage of the moment and slung an arm around her waist, pulling her closer for a more passionate kiss. He backed gently into a nearby tree, his body fully pressed against hers as they ravished each other eagerly. Sonny's fingers ran through his hair, pulling and kneading against his scalp. His were softly tracing circles into the small of her back.

"I love you so much," Sonny gushed, slightly pulling back from the kiss. He felt her lips move against his as she spoke.

He smirked, "I love you more."

"No you don't!" She insisted.

"Yes I do!"

"Fine!" Sonny smiled.

"Fine!"

He grinned, "Good."

"Good."

"So are we good?"

"No," he began. She looked up at him in question. He raised her hand and slid the ring onto her ring finger, grinning.

"Now we're good." He smiled, kissing her again.
