Prologue

Chad's POV

"Hello gorgeous," I winked.

But no, not at anyone in particular. Just my own reflection. I mean, I would not say that to anyone other than me, and of coruse Sonn-

My thoughts were interuppted by none other than Sonny herself.

"Hey Chad." she said snidely.

"Sup, chucklehead?"

"Haha, very funny." she shot back sarcastically.

"So," I said, rolling my eyes at her cuteness. Sonny was cute. She was always cute. She couldn't do anything without being cute. Stupid cute.. "Whatcha need from the CDC?"

With that sentence came another eye roll, this time from Sonny. "Well, drama king, Marshall said he wants both the Mackenzie Falls and So Random! casts down to the commisary at 2."

"Eh, probably to tell about the record-breaking season that Mackenzie Falls has been having." I smirked.

"But why would he invite us 'chuckleheads' to the meeting?"

"I'm sure glad he did.." I said dreamily.

Wait. Crud. Did I just say that outloud?!

"Wait.. uh.. I-i-i," I managed to stammer.

Sonny just laughed as she headed to the door, and I was thankful she didn't turn around to see the blush spreading across my cheeks.

"Whatever Chad!" she laughed, almost out the door.

"Yea.. see ya Munroe." I sighed.

Did that really just happen? Man, I'm Chad Dylan Cooper for crying out loud! I don't embarress myself in front of girls! Girls embarress themselves about me! Oh, but of course, not Sonny. Sonny was different than all of those other girls.

Stupid cute.

Sonny's POV

I was confused. Of all of the people working on this set, Chad said he was happy we 'randoms' were going to this meeting. Something's up with him.

Maybe he likes Tawni.

Ickk, the thought of Chad and Tawni dating gives me a weird feeling. But no way whatsoever was I jealous of Chad dating other girls! There's no slight pang of romantic feelings for Chad Dylan Cooper in my body at all!

At least... I hope not.

Chad's POV

I walked down to the Commisary fashionably late, about 2:15.

"Mr. Cooper," Marshall said sternly. "Thanks for joining us!"

"Well, psh, sorry, I was.." I said, thinking of an excuse. "helping an old lady cross the set!"

Marshall rolled his eyes, but decided to just get on with the important topic at hand.

"Okay, take a seat."

I scanned the room. The Falls cast to one side and 'Chuckle City' towards the other. But of course, all of the chairs were taken except for the one between Sonny and Portlyn. I walked over to the seat and sat down stiffly.

"Sonny."

"Chad."

"Sonny."

"Chad."

"Tawni!" burst the giggly blonde.

"Alright, alright," said Marshall impatiently. "Enough with the names!"

Sonny quieted, as did I.

"Okay. Now, getting down to business..," he starts. "Fox is making The Amazing Race season 18. And they are doing a 'Celebrity Edition'! The money is going to a charity of your team's choosing. Two teams of two are coming from five of the major tween networks, and Condor Studios was chosen as one of them! So, I have all of your names in a hat, as you are the two most popular shows, so... let's get ready to pick!"

He grabbed two names from the black top hat.

"And our first team is... Tawni and Portlyn!"

I heard both of the girls' shrill laughs, and I chuckled in my head along with them.

Two bubbly, shallow girls on the same team? Now THAT makes some good reality television!

Sonny's POV

This competition seemed actually sorta fun! Although, I hope that Tawni and Portlyn.. ehh, to simply put it, kill eachother.

"And our second and final team is..." he said, drawing two more names. "Sonny and Chad!"

"You have got to be kidding me." I gasped, looking over at Chad.

But all Chad did was sling his arm around me and say, "Sup teammate!?"

I cannot believe that Chad Dylan Cooper was actually happy about this whole situation! I sat there, mouth gaping open for who knows how long, while all of our castmates stared in disbelief. But, I guess I can survive a month or so with Chad. I mean, it's for a good cause, right?

I went to go pack, but Chad ran after me and grabbed my arm to stop me.

"Hey Sonny?" he questioned.

"Yeah?"

"Don't forget to wear something cute, we are gonna be on camera, you know." he winked. And then he ran off. But really, I wasn't surprised. I mean, he is Chad Dylan Cooper after all.

Chad's POV

Wow, was I ever shallow. But that's just one of my qualities, maybe she doesn't like it, but oh well! It's not like I've never made comments about her appearence before. Her pretty, dark hair. Those beautiful brown eyes..

UGH! Snap out of it Chad! You cannot like Sonny.

Well, whatever. I'll pack, we're leaving early tomorrow morning.
