Okay, I know all of my stories are on hiatus and I already have three stories PLUS the challenge going on, but I was almost literally hit with inspiration today and couldn't wait to post it. If you guys like it and want me to continue, it'll be a chapter story. To be honest, I actually feel guilty for coming up with ANOTHER chapter story idea when I've got so much going on already, but I couldn't wait until my stories were off hiatus even to at least throw the idea out there. Remember? I get paranoid that someone else will come up with the same idea and post it before I can, no matter what it is. So, here it is. Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the original characters and the idea. Sonny with a Chance and anything else mentioned is not mine.
Prologue
"But, mom, I need to see Lucy soon. It's almost been six months now since she last came to visit," Sonny pleaded with her mom, holding her hands up in prayer position. If she could have, she would've made a halo appear above her head to maybe tip the scale in her favor just a little bit.
"Sorry, sweetie, but we just can't swing the traveling expenses right now," Connie explained. She slid a plate of pancakes across the counter towards her disappointed daughter.
"But what about my So Random money? Can't we use that?"
"Now Sonny, you know as well as I do that we just started building up your college fund with that money and I'm not going to dip into it for a trip back to Wisconsin."
Sonny stared dejectedly down at her plate, suddenly not feeling very hungry.
Connie rubbed her hands on a dish towel and blew a strand of hair out of her brown eyes. "Okay, tell you what… We'll go back for Christmas. How's that sound?"
Sonny frowned harder. "Far away. Mom, it's the beginning of July."
"Sorry, babe, but unless you can somehow earn the money yourself, that's as soon as we can go."
Sonny sighed and drew a sad face with her fork in the maple syrup that had slid off the pancakes and pooled on the side of her plate. There was no way she'd ever be able to raise enough money by herself. Not for two plane tickets… not in time to get back for the big celebration…
Chad stared across the Commissary at the beautiful girl a few tables over. He couldn't take his eyes off of her.
He wanted to go up to her and talk to her and ask her out, but a girl like her would never go for someone with his attitude. Chad wasn't an idiot, so even he knew that much.
Chad would change for her though. There was simply something special about her. The way she walked, talked… just the way she did everything was so… perfect.
Perhaps there was a solution to his dilemma though.
Chad tapped a finger against his chin, wrinkling his eyebrows in thought. There had to be a way. Chad Dylan Cooper always found a way.
Chad slowly smiled when an inspiration finally came to him.
He had a plan. A perfect, foolproof plan. But he was going to need some help with it.
Chad's smile turned devious. And he knew just the person to ask…
A. N. Why do a summary when you can do a trailer instead? ;) (The stuff in bold and italics is the narration)
Trailer
The most unlikely person needed help from the most obvious person to go to for help…
"Sonny, I need your help."
Chad Dylan Cooper…
"What do you want, Chad?"
needed Sonny Munroe's help…
"I want you to make me… normal…"
being normal.
"…You're serious…? Why…?"
"This girl that I like is into down-to-Earth guys, so I've got to be that guy."
"Why should I help you?"
Chad was desperate…
"I'll pay you $500."
"Forget it."
"$1000."
Sonny needed the money…
"…Alright, Cooper, I'll see what I can do."
----
Two completely different people…
"I am not saying hi like that! What kind of pickup line is that?"
"Oh jeez, Chad, a girl like her isn't going to like pickup lines."
"You've obviously never heard my pickup lines."
"…Fine, let's hear a few."
"I must be a snowflake because I've fallen for you."
(Sonny sticks a finger down her throat and pretends to gag)
"Every time I see you my heart races. I'm hoping to win."
(Sonny rolls her eyes)
"You spend so much time in my dreams I should start charging you rent."
"…Okay, yeah, definitely no pickup lines for you."
will have to do the impossible.
"Don't slouch; stand up straight! And what did you do to your hair?"
"Nothing; I thought you said I wasn't supposed to be trying too hard."
They're going to have to work together…
"I didn't mean to let someone store hay on your head. It's sticking up everywhere."
(Sonny licks her hand and starts running it through Chad's hair)
"Ew, sick! I don't want your nasty saliva in my hair!"
(Chad swats Sonny away)
"Don't be such a baby."
in order to get what they want.
"Okay, review time. When you first approach her you say…"
"Hey, I'm Chad Dylan Cooper from the #1 hit show, Mack-"
(Sonny makes the noise of a loud buzzer going off)
"Wrong!"
"Fat penguin!"
"What?"
"Oh nothing, I just wanted to say something to break the ice."
(Sonny rubs her temples)
"Wrong."
They just have to do it…
"Hi, my name is Chad Dylan-"
"Chad!"
"What?!"
"Lose the mouthful of a name and just say hi!"
without killing each other first…
----
"That's it, I am never speaking to you ever again, Allison!"
"Fine by me, Charles!"
"I never should've trusted you!"
"And I should've known better than to ever try to help someone as conceited as you!"
----
"Everything is ruined!"
(Sonny rushes over to her cousin)
"No, no, not everything is ruined. Don't cry; the wedding will go on. We still have the cake."
(Chad walks in carrying the heavy-looking wedding cake in his hands)
"Hey, where am I supposed to put this anyway?"
"Over on the table."
(Chad trips on a bouquet left on the floor and the elaborate cake smashes into Sonny and her cousin)
"Oops…"
"Is everything ruined yet?"
(Sonny glares at Chad through the purple and yellow frosting)
"Yeah, just about…"
----
"Are you two dating or something? You're always with each other lately and Sonny was just fixing your hair."
(Sonny and Chad exchange a look before they burst out laughing)
"Uh, yeah right, like I could ever fall for Sonny Munroe."
"Yeah, no, we're not dating. I'm just coaching him on how to be-"
"On second thought, darn, you caught us. Yeah, actually we are dating."
(Sonny gives Chad a disgusted look)
"…Really…?"
----
Starring Sonny Munroe…
"Sonny, were you even listening to a thing I was saying?"
"Sorry, no habla conceited."
"I am not conceited. I'm amazing…"
(Sonny looks up at the ceiling in thought for a moment then looks at Chad)
"Well, I have better things to do then just sit here wasting my time trying to get manners through your thick skull. I'm leaving."
"No, you have to stay!"
"What's the magic word?"
"…Please…"
"Okay, I'll stay…"
"What was that anyway? I thought you didn't speak conceited."
"I wasn't. I was speaking manipulative jerk, and -as I thought- you picked up on it right away."
And Chad Dylan Cooper…
"If you really like her, you should totally go for her, Mitch."
"I don't know, Sonny. She's kind of… mean…"
"So? She's hot."
(Sonny glares at Chad after he says that)
"What? It's true. You can't get better than Shelly. I mean, don't be so picky, Mitch.
(Chad looks over at Sonny and jerks his thumb in her direction)
"I wasn't."
(Sonny smacks Chad upside the head)
In…
"So have you fallen in love yet?"
(Chad looks across the table at Sonny chewing a huge bite of pizza, still waiting for an answer from him)
"Yeah, I think maybe I have."
"Can't Say I Didn't Try."
"Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I have to walk by you again?"
(Amy giggles and Sonny gives Chad a long look)
"Chad, really, we're still using pickup lines? Seriously?"
Coming to a computer screen near you as soon as school gets out for me on June 15th. ;)
Alright, as it says, this will be coming out probably either June 15th or the day after. All of my stories are still on hiatus until then as well, so just because I'm posting this doesn't mean I'm not still busy. This just means I used my free time to write this out and I just couldn't wait to post it. So, tell me if you think I should continue or not. Sorry if the trailer is a smidge confusing in parts, but you get the gist of it, right? BTW, what do you think of Chad having something close to an obsession with cheesy pickup lines? :) I actually researched bad pickup lines on Google and found this website with 101 pickup lines. All of the ones he used were from the website. Trust me, I could never think of lines that creative or... interesting. Anyway, tell me if this is worth continuing and please vote on the new poll I just put up on my profile. Okee-dokee, thanks for at least reading this intro part and I'll be back on June 15th. Bye! :)
