Hey all=]

So I'm back...after months...but I'm back and I'm going to finish the story no matter what.

I got a lot of pm's/reviews asking why I wasn't updating, but here's my thing:

1) This story, before this chapter, was 115,400 words, which, according to the 250 word per page format, is 462 pages, which is about 2 novels. So in my defense, I was tired and I just didn't want to write anymore for a while.

2) Each chapter is roughly about 10,000 words after chapter 5. 10,000 words is 40 pages. 40 pages is about two chapters in a book. I started this chapter at around noon today, and it took me about 6 hours to finish writing it. This is an all day process and I do the best I can.

3) Not a lot of people are reading it anymore. The reason I ask people to review is so I know people are actually reading and so I know that I should continue to write.

4) I'm a high school junior. I have a lot on my plate as it is, and I'm more focused on schoolwork, so that's why I didn't update all semester. I'm sorry, but I want to go to college, so I worked for my A's and my fanfic just had to take 2nd priority.

5) I just wasn't in the 'romantic' mood for a long time. I didn't feel like writing about it because of my depression. I like to be in the mood in order to write a chapter, and since people don't like the drama as much, it's mostly fluff and I want to be happy when I write it, not depressed.

BUT

here is P and K- the moment we have all been waiting for=] (Important A/N at the bottom regarding the rest of the story!)

So sit back

relax

and enjoy=]

Chapter 16: P is for Perfect as K is for Keeper

(Flashback 1)- Pre- dating

Chad's POV

I cringed again as she stormed away for the third time today on set. I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair trying to figure out if I should apologize or not. I mean, I am Chad Dylan Cooper, so I guess I shouldn't, but come on, three times?

You see, Sonny is a different species of girl. She's been on So Random! for about six months now and I feel like I've known her for forever, and trust me, not in a good way.

"Cooper!" Portlyn yelled across the room.

I rolled my eyes as I sauntered across the room trying to figure out what she wants from me, "What?" I said snapping at her.

She huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest, "You're due on set and you're five minutes late. Tim isn't happy," she said as she walked away.

I sighed a bit as I straightened my tie and put on my acting face and walked over to the set, "Sorry about that," I said as I walked up to where Chloe was and looked over my script for the last time before we shot the scene.

"Final warning, Cooper," Tim, the director, yelled to me as he sat down on his directors chair, took the script in his hand, and motioned to the camera man, "And action!" he yelled.

I turned my back so I'm facing the wall of books as Chloe came around to me and begged for me to turn around, "Mackenzie, you know it was a mistake, I'm sorry!" she pleaded with me.

I turned around and faced her with my eyes all sad and narrowed, "No, Chloe, you don't get to apologize!" I said yelling at her, "Trevor is my best friend and you think its okay to apologize to me? Just leave, Chloe, I can't even stand to look at you anymore," I said in a disgusted tone as I turned my back on her again.

She came back around to face me with a look of determination in her eyes, "Mackenzie, we all make mistakes," she said while looking up to me as she put her hand on the side of my face, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," she whispered.

I shook my head as I put my hand on hers and pulled it off of my face, "I was in love with you and you just tore everything we had apart," I say walking away from her, "We will never have what we had, Sonny," I said before I even realized what just came out of my mouth.

"Cut!" Tim called as he slammed his script down on the table as he usually does. "Chad, this is the fifth time in two days where you've said Sonny instead of Chloe. Get your act together and come back when you're ready to act," he said as everyone started to walk away.

I sighed to myself as I ran my fingers through my perfect hair as I took my script and started to look over it again as I walked away.

I decided to just take a walk around the set to try to get my mind off what has been happening lately. I made my way over to the So Random! set without even realizing it. A few moments later, someone crashed into me and we both fell down.

"Hey, watch where you're going," I snapped at whoever it was before I stood up brushing myself off before I looked down to the ground, "Oh, Sonny," I said as she stood up looking angry.

"Thanks for the help," she said rolling her eyes as she picked up her stuff from the ground and started to walk away, "And I'm not the one with my face in a script," she said before she rounded the corner and walked away.

I went over to the nearest wall and kicked it as hard as I can, "What is wrong with me today?" I asked myself as I went over everything that's happened between Sonny and me today.

After a few minutes, I decided to just head over to my dressing room and just calm down a little bit. As soon as I got inside, I sat down at my desk and stared at a blank piece of paper with a pen in my hand trying to figure out what to write to her.

Dear, Sonny,

I'm sorry, okay? I'm not good at this stuff, and by this stuff, I mean having friends. I know that I told you that I'd be willing to try, but I just can't seem to find the right words to say to you without you getting mad at me or throwing something at me. Yes, I know I've upset you, and I really am sorry, I'm just trying to figure everything out for myself.

How about this, you and I go out for some coffee sometime? Get to know each other a bit, or we can just sit there in an awkward silence if you want, I don't care. I want to make it up to you soon so you won't hate me. After all, what are friends for?

Call me as soon as you get this letter. I want to apologize in person.

Sincerely,

TV's, Chad Dylan Cooper.

I smiled a little bit to myself as I read over the letter and nodded my head in approval, "Not too nice but not too cocky. Perfect," I said to myself as I got up and went to go find Josh the mailman.

After a while of walking around the studios, I finally found him and rolled my eyes as I handed him the letter, "Give this to Sonny Munroe, oh, and go and get her a dozen yellow tulips," I said as I handed him a wad of cash and he nodded his head and walked away from me without saying a word.

"Jerk," I muttered to myself as I decided to go back to my dressing room and just play a little bit of guitar.

I sat down with my acoustic guitar and a pad of paper and a pencil as I started to just strum out random chords trying to make a song.

I don't know how to say this, and I don't know what to do

But every time I see a yellow flower it makes me think of you.

Every word I say and every action I make

I know it makes your heart break

But if this is the only song I'll ever be able to sing to you

Then this one song is what I have to do.

I sang through this one verse over and over trying to get my emotions into it, and when I finally got it, I smiled in approval in what I just came up with.

Within a few more minutes of just strumming and trying to think of the next lyrics, I felt my phone vibrate. Without looking at who was calling, I answered it anyways, "CDC, what it do?" I answered in my normal preppy tone.

I could hear her sigh on the other end of the line, "Thank you for the flowers and the note, Chad, it was very beautiful," she said as I could just imagine her smiling.

I smiled a little bit as I put my guitar down next to me and I leaned back into the sofa, "No problem. So, what do you say? Want to go get some coffee with me?" I asked right away.

She didn't take that long to respond, "Sure, I'll meet you in your dressing room in five," she said before she hung up the phone.

I smiled to myself as I got up and put my guitar back on its stand in the corner of the room and I went into my bathroom and straightened myself out before Sonny got here.

Exactly five minutes later, I heard someone knock at the door. I quickly walked over to the door and answered it with a half smile tugging at the corner of my lips, "Hey," I said as I opened the door all the way and let her in.

She smiled as soon as she saw me, "Hey, thanks for inviting me," she said while I nodded closed the door and walked over to where she was.

"No problem," I said as I grabbed my jacket from off the couch and looked over to where she was, "Are you ready to go?" I asked as I picked up my car keys waiting for a response.

She looked over and smiled to me, "Yeah," she said as we both walked out of the studio together without saying a word as we walked in a comfortable silence.

When we got into my car, she looked over to me for a few seconds before sighing a bit, "Can we just go one day without fighting, Chad?" she asks me while I looked over to her a bit surprised.

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know, Sonny, I wish we could but there's just always something to argue about between us. Honestly, I think we both just like to argue with each other. Always makes the day a little more…interesting," I said with a little laugh while she looked over to me and smiled.

She sighed a bit as she leaned back into her seat, "I don't like to argue," she said after a few seconds in a hushed tone, "I don't like to be mean to anyone, but you like to be mean to other people and you live off of that. That's what I don't understand about you, Chad," she said shaking her head a bit, "You don't care if you hurt a person. You only care about making yourself look good and making everyone else look bad. The only reason we fight is because it gives you a sense of pride to know that you've risen above the other person. I would like to not fight in all honesty," she said softly before looking out the window.

I sat there staring at the road trying to think of something to say back to that. "You're right," is all that I got out before she turned back to me.

"What?" she asked surprised.

"I said you're right," I said a little louder, "I like making everyone else look bad so that I can look good and if I have to hurt people, then I'll do it. You're the first person I've really ever apologized to," I admitted, "I like yelling too I guess. I don't like other people having control over me. I like to be in charge and I like people doing things my way. So yes, you're right, Sonny. I hurt people for my own selfish reasons," I said to her while I looked over to her and saw her mouth agape just a bit.

"Thank you," she said softly while she smiled just a little, "Thank you for finally admitting it," she said.

"Anything for you, Sonny," I said truthfully, and for once, I think she finally understood.

(Flashback 2)- While dating

Sonny's POV

"Stupid sparkly eye," I muttered as I walked into the door of my apartment.

My mom came out of the kitchen and greeted me with a smile, "Hey, honey," she said while she came over and sat down on the couch, "And what did Chad do today?" she asked like she was on a rote speaker.

I sighed as I dropped all my things down on the dining room table and sat down on the couch next to her, "It's more like what he didn't do. He's just such a jerk!" I said in an exasperated tone.

My mom rolled her eyes a bit as she laughed, "Sonny, he does this every day to you, and every day you say he'll change and guess what, he never does. Why don't you just ignore him for a little while? Give him some time to figure himself out," she suggested.

I got up and shook my head as I started to pace around the room a bit, "That's exactly what I've been doing. I've been ignoring him all week, taking different breaks, taking a different lunch, and changing my routes around the studio, and when he saw me, he accused me of hiding from him and then we just started arguing about it. I told him I didn't want to see him anymore and that's why I've been avoiding him and then he just left! He just left out of the blue!" I said in an angry tone as I sat back down on the couch.

My mom looked at me with a confused glance, "Then I don't get it. Why are you mad at him then? He left you alone, didn't he?" she asked.

I shook my head, "No, because when he left, he left and went to go get me flowers. He got me a bouquet of beautiful flowers and note saying that he was sorry and that he wanted to try to get along from now on. That's the problem. He thinks he can just buy my forgiveness!"

She laughed a bit, "At least he's trying," she pointed out.

I sighed as I put my head in my hands for a few seconds before looking back up to her, "No, no he's not. He's not trying at all because if he was trying, he would have had me the first week I was at the studio. He's trying to slowly drive me insane to the point where I'll finally give in."

"Give in to what exactly?"

I took a deep breath before I looked back up to her, "To falling in love with him!" I exclaimed.

Mom laughed a bit, "Oh, honey that ship has sailed a long time ago."

I nodded my head agreeing with her, "I know it has. He just makes it so hard for me to actually talk to him and actually give us, what he wants, a fighting chance. He needs some kind of miracle for me to even look at him anymore. When he screws up, he buys flowers, he writes songs, he delivers notes with heartbreaking words in them that just makes me want to forgive him for everything he's ever done, and I just don't want to do it. I want him to say it in person, but he never will."

My mom smiled, "Well, what do you want to say to him?" she asked after a few seconds.

I got up off of the couch exasperated with her, "What do I want to say? I want to say that I fell for him the minute he said my name on the first day I was at the studios. I want to say that even though he's rough around the edges he can be sweet and kind and caring and he can be whatever he wants to be without the jerk rep behind it. I want to say that even though I say I hate him, I don't and I would do anything I could to prove it to him. I just want to say that he's…he's…he's perfect and I wouldn't want him to change for anything," I said in a very small voice before I sat back down onto the couch.

"Then go tell him that," she said with an encouraging smile.

I looked up to my mom and nodded a bit as I grabbed my jacket and made my way towards my car.

I drove the familiar route to Chad's house, not even bothering to call him to let him know that I was coming over. I sighed to myself knowing that my mom was right: I had to tell him how I really felt at some point or another.

We've only been out on a few of the letter dates, and the times we have can either be really good or really bad. At work, he's still his old arrogant self sometimes, but when we're just alone, he's the sweetest person ever and that's what really bothers me. It's like he ashamed to be around me when I'm at So Random! That's why there is a need for an ultimatum. He needs to decide what he wants to do, because if he won't drop out of this bet, then I will to actually save myself from getting hurt.

When I made my way up his driveway, I got out of the car and slowly made my way to his front door. I took in a deep breath before I knocked on his door a few times as I kept my head low trying to figure out what I'm going to say before he answered the door.

A few seconds later, he answered the door with a sad smile on his face, "Sonny," he said simply.

I didn't say anything to him as I entered his house and stood in the middle of his living room waiting for him to come in and follow me. "Are you okay?" he asked when he came into the living room and saw my distraught expression on my face.

I shook my head and looked up to him finally, "No, and just let me talk. Don't interrupt me and don't say anything until I'm finished," I told him while he simply nodded.

"I'm angry. I'm so angry at you that sometimes I wonder why I even fell for you in the first place. You make me so mad sometimes and sometimes, just sometimes, I feel like leaving because of it. You're only nice to me when we're alone and I hate that about you. I hate that you are embarrassed to even be around me and I hate it that you don't even try to make friends with my friends. I hate it that I fell in love with you!" I finally exclaimed while he continued to just stare at me, not knowing what to say.

Before he could say anything, I decided to keep talking, "I hate it that you don't love me back the way I love you," I said in a softer tone. "I don't hate you at all no matter how many times I may say it to you. I don't hate you; I just hate myself for letting me think that. You're Chad Dylan Cooper and I'm just Sonny Munroe. You're famous and I'm a small town girl from Wisconsin. You can get anything you possibly want by smiling at the person and I've worked so hard to get to where I am right now. You're perfect, and I'm just, well, I'm just ordinary," I said in a whisper to which I don't even know if he heard any of what I just said.

Chad laughed a little bit, and I started to get angry just at the fact. "Before you get angry," he stated as he slowly came over to where I was standing, "Just hear me out, okay, Sunshine?" he said with his breathtaking smile.

He laughed again as he picked up my hand in his and looked at me in the eyes, "Sonny, I am everything but perfect," he said after a few seconds, "I don't see how you see that. I'm Chad Dylan Cooper, you're right, but you're Allison Munroe," he said with a bigger smile, "You are the one that makes everything worth it. Trust me, if you were ordinary, you wouldn't be here right now. You wouldn't be in California making a name for yourself, but you'd be in Wisconsin and not funny. I got here from luck, just luck, but you got here from raw talent. You are the most extraordinary person that I think anyone has ever met," he said with sincerity in his eyes.

I shook my head as I pulled my hand from his grip, "You're just saying that to make me feel better," I said as I wiped away some tears that fell down.

He rolled his eyes, "No, I didn't. I would have told you that you're perfect and wouldn't have gave it a second thought if I was doing it to make you feel better, but I can't stop thinking about it. It hurt to see you in pain and it hurts to see you not happy. I want you to be happy, and I want you to be happy with me if it's possible," he said with a small laugh, "and the fact that you picked me out of every guy in the entire universe means the world to me, so there is no way that I could be embarrassed to be seen with you. I'm not embarrassed at all. I'm jealous if anything," he said laughing a bit.

I looked up to him to meet his honest eyes. He smiled down to me, "You, Allison Sonny Munroe, are the definition of perfect. I am so proud to even know you, and the fact that I get to hold you when I want, I get to kiss you when I want, and I get to make you smile when I want is what makes me who I am. You taught me that imperfection is beauty. I don't hate you at all. I fell in love with you the same way you fell in love with me and that will never ever change," he said seriously.

"I love you," he said as he put his hand under my chin so I had to look up at him, "I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry I'm not there for you at work, but I promise, and I swear, that I will be there for you from now on. I promise that I will always love you," he said while he leaned down and kissed my forehead softly.

I nodded my head after a few seconds, "Thank you," I said as I looked up to him, "Thank you for finally admitting it," I whispered with a smile on my face.

(Flashback 3) – While dating

Sonny's POV

Tell me what to do-o about you

Something on your mind, baby all of the time, you can clear out a room

'Cuz it's been a long time coming, I say it's nothing new

Tell me what to do-o about you

"Thinking about Chad again?" Tawni asked as she came walking into our dressing room.

I sighed to myself wishing I had locked the door when I came in. I nodded my head as I put my guitar, pad of paper, and pen down on the seat in front of me, "Yeah," I admitted as I leaned back against my seat, "He's been getting on my nerves a lot lately," I said softly.

She laughed a little bit as she sat down next to me on the couch, "When has he not gotten on your nerves?" she asked as a joke before I glared at her. She quickly got the hint and backed down a bit, "You know that's not what I meant, Sonny. What I meant is that Chad always finds a way to ruins someone's day."

I laughed a bit as I nodded my head, "He means well. He means well in his own head, but when he begins to talk, that's when the problem hits. He either says the right thing or he says the exact opposite of what you want to hear. I told him I didn't think I was doing my best this week because I've been a little distracted with my family and everything, and he tells me not to worry about it because my career wasn't going anywhere with So Random! anyways."

Tawni drew in a sharp breath, "What an ass!" she exclaimed loudly as she got up off of the couch and stared down at me, "I swear, I'm going to go give him a piece of my mind!" she said before she stormed off towards the door.

I sighed as I stood up and called out, "Tawni, wait!" I said before she turned around, "Just don't do anything. It'll make it worse and I'm sure he doesn't want to hear about it right now. Just give him a while," I said softly before I sat back down and ran my fingers through my hair.

She sighed as she slowly made her way back to where I was sitting. "Sonny," she started out slowly, "I know that I don't act like I care, but I do, and I care about your relationship with Chad because I look out for you to make sure you're safe. I take guys very seriously as you know," she said laughing a bit.

"Chad is a Hollywood actor and he will always think about his rep before anything else. I know he aid that you're the one he cares about most, but really, he is just looking out for his career. I'm pretty sure it's in his contract to downplay So Random! I've known Chad since we were kids, and I know he can change, but until he has his career on the line, he won't. Chad doesn't change," she said in a whisper.

I nodded a bit in agreement, "He can, but it's only for a few days or weeks even, and then he's back to when I first met him. We have more bad times then good times lately and I don't know what I did to him to make him go back to this way," I said shaking my head.

"Sonny, you've done nothing wrong," Tawni said as she put her hand on my arm, "You just have to let Chad calm down, give him a few days, and then he'll be back to sweet Chad. I feel bad that I was the one that put you up to this in the first place," she admitted softly, "I know I may seem harsh to you, but I care, and I hate seeing you hurt over this guy. He's just a guy, Sonny. You'll find one that treats you like a queen someday and then you'll know that it was worth it, and if that's not Chad, then so what? You'll find a better Chad, I promise," she said with a smile.

I smiled sadly up to her, "Thanks, Tawni," I whispered up to her. Although what she wanted to say didn't come out the right way, she still managed to make it heartfelt.

After a few minutes of sitting there in silence, we both heard a knock at the door. The door opened itself and when both Tawni and I turned around, we saw Chad standing there with a bouquet of flowers and a guilty expression on his face, "Can I come in?" he asked in a sad voice after a few seconds.

Tawni looked over to me and I nodded saying it was okay for her to leave. She got up off of the couch and made her way out of the room, closing the door on her way out. Chad took that as his cue to come inside, and he set the flowers down on my vanity table before coming over and sitting on the couch next to me.

"I'm sorry," we both said at the same time.

Chad shook his head with an angry expression, "Don't you dare apologize to me, Sonny," he said before his expression softened a bit, "I mean that as in you've done nothing wrong. If anything, I should be groveling for you acceptance," he said while stared down to his hands in his lap.

"It's okay," I say softly, knowing that I actually really did mean it.

He looked up and shook his head, "I was out of line for saying that to you. I was mad because rehearsal didn't go great this morning and then I got in trouble for it, and then you came over, and I don't know, something just set me off and I took my anger out on you. You are one of the most talented actors I have ever met and you didn't deserve any of what I said to you. Just because you're on So Random! doesn't mean you aren't a good actor, and honestly, you're one of the best. Comedy is so hard to do and I can't even do it. I didn't mean what I said at all," he said again before looking back down to his hands.

I sighed as I sat up from my spot and moved next to Chad as I put my hand on his, "It's okay, really, it is," I say with an encouraging smile, "I should have thought about what I said and I knew you were upset because you weren't your usual self, and I just pushed you over the edge. The flowers are beautiful you know," I said looking over to my vanity.

He smiled a bit, "I hope so," he said softly, "It's hard remembering which flowers I've already bought you. I try to mix it up every time I screw things up," he said.

I shook my head, "You didn't screw up, Chad," I said while he looked up, "If you screwed up, we'd be broken up by now. If you screwed up, I'd be crying. If you screwed up, I would say that I love you. You got me while tulips, Chad," I said with a smile.

He looked up with a confused expression, "I know I did," he said after a few seconds.

"White flowers mean new beginnings," I said as I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "We hit a roadblock, and guess what, we got over it. We have a lot of those, but that's just because we're Chad and Sonny and we were never meant to work out. I don't care if you yell at me sometimes. We all have our bad days, and today was yours. I know that if I ever needed you, you'd be there for me, and I just want you to know that if you ever need me, even if it's something stupid, I'm here for you too, you know," I said softly while Chad nodded.

"I know you are," he said while he straightened up a bit, "That's why I get mad at myself sometimes. I feel like you're the better one in the relationship and you're the one that's keeping us together. I don't feel like I contribute much anymore," he said.

I laughed a bit while he looked back to me, "You're doing everything right, Chad. That's what a relationship is supposed to be. A relationship is supposed to be feeling comfortable around each other and not need to always be going out and doing something. It's just supposed to be natural and relaxing, and that's what you're doing. You're doing everything right. It was just a bad day."

"That still doesn't change the fact that I called you talentless. You should be angry with me right now, not be telling me that everything is okay. I know if I was you, I'd be angry and I'd be seething and I wouldn't forgive me for anything. I brought you flowers because that's all I can think of doing. I don't know how to apologize in a way that'll make the bad go away," he said in a dejected tone.

That's what hurts. I hated seeing Chad so desolate and down. That means that I'm doing a bad job as a girlfriend; I'm not telling him the right things and I'm not doing a good job in making sure that he's happy.

Instead of talking, I leaned over to him and gently kissed him. After a few seconds of him kissing me back, I put my hand on the side of his face to pull him closer to me, showing him that I wasn't going anywhere.

After a while, we finally pulled away from each other, and I left my hand on his face to make sure that he'd still be looking at me. "I love you," I whispered to him with a small smile.

"I love you too," he whispered as he leaned in and kissed me gently for a few seconds before pulling away and standing up.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me up with him, "You're a keeper, Sonny Munroe. I'm not letting you out my sight ever again," he said with his breathtaking smile as he took my hand in his and walked out of my dressing room and towards his car so we could go home.

(Present day)

Chad's POV

I stared at Sonny for what seemed like hours before she even opened her mouth to answer the question. Every time she seemed like she was going to talk, she went back into a little trance in her mind.

"Sonny?" I asked carefully after a while of her not responding.

After a few seconds, she looked back up to me with a huge smile before she nodded her head and walking up to me, "Yes!" she said while I breathed a sigh of relief in my own mind. I smiled as I took her left hand in mine and I slid the simple, yet elegant, ring onto her finger.

Sonny then wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me hard, yet passionately. I smiled into the kiss as I wound my arms down around her waist, pulling her as close to me as I could manage.

"Welcome to the family Mrs. soon to be Allison Elizabeth Munroe Cooper," I said against her lips while she pulled away and looked up to me

(Flashback 1) – Pre- Dating

Chad's POV

"Will the cast of Mackenzie Falls please meet in the board room in five minutes, thank you," the intercom said during one of our breaks over at the Falls. I groaned to myself: a meeting in the board room means that Mr. Condor will be there and someone will most likely be fired. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the So Random! people honestly. Their performance has been lacking and Mr. Condor probably just wants to congratulate us on being the number one tween drama.

Portlyn met up with me as we made our way quietly to the board room, both of us thinking the same thing. "Someone's fired?" she asked me quietly while I simply shrugged my shoulders.

When we got to the board room, everyone else was already there, including Mr. Condor. "Glad you finally came to join us," he said while Portlyn and I took our seats next to each other.

Mr. Condor and Marshall from So Random! made their way to the front of the room as they both turned to face us. "The feud between Mackenzie Falls and So Random is over as over as of today," Mr. Condor started off while I chuckled silently to myself.

Marshall wiped his forehead before he began talking, "What Mr. Condor means is that we're getting a new cast member," he said nervously while I sighed thinking that this can't be good. "As all of you already know, Mandy quit and we need a new replacement. We're down to our final three, and we thought you," he said while he pointed to me specifically, "could pick out which one you could manage to be civilized to," he explained before he looked to Mr. Condor as he nodded his head in approval.

"We're down to three: Sally Hayes, Thomas Putnam, and Sonny Munroe. We'll let you see their audition tapes and you can pick which one you like the most and which one you won't scare off within a week. The winner will be here in two weeks so you'll have enough time to prepare," he said while he rolled his eyes while he signaled for a man to turn off the lights and start the projector before he sat down to watch.

The first one, Sally Hayes, was unbearable to watch. I don't even know why she made it down to the final three. She was blonde, cocky, and arrogant, and since I'm already here, we don't need another me. And honestly, she wasn't even funny at all. I feel like she was reading a premade script as she was sending in her audition tape and trying just way too hard.

After that abomination, we had to sit through the next one. Thomas Putnam was better than Sally, but not by much. He acted too much like Cloudy and Rainy, and not in a good way. It's like he wanted to put himself into danger to be funny, and we can't have that around the studio. If he came onto the show, our studio would be up in flames within a week.

Before we watched the last one, Mr. Condor stood back up at the front of the room, "And finally, we have Sonny Munroe. She didn't send in an audition tape. She has her own comedy web show and one our producers found her on the internet and sent in the tape for us to see," he explained quickly before he sat back down.

When the lights went off and the screen turned on, I swear, I smiled for the first time. She smiled and introduced herself to the camera like she's been doing it for years and then, she just started to act. She was actually funny. She had more talents than all of the Random's combined. I didn't even have to finish the video before I stood up and looked over to Mr. Condor.

"This is the one that I want. Tell Sonny Munroe that she's coming to Hollywood," I stated simply before I sat back down.

Mr. Condor signaled for the lights to come back on while he faced the rest of my cast. "So, is it in agreement that Sonny will be the newest member of So Random!" he asked

Everyone in the cast turned their heads to look at me before I nodded. They all turned back to Mr. Condor and nodded their heads saying yes. Mr. Condor smile a bit as he clapped his hands together, "Great, she will be here in two weeks. Learn to get along or you'll be off the show," he said simply before he turned and walked out of the room.

When everyone else got up and left the room, Portlyn came up to me and smiled a bit, "So why did we pick Sonny?" she asked simply as we began to walk back to the set.

I shrugged my shoulders, "She was the most decent. I couldn't be able to stand Sally or Thomas on the show. I'd want to punch Sally in the face and then I'm pretty sure Thomas would set the building on fire, so Sonny looked like a safe bet. She wasn't arrogant and she didn't hurt herself to get laughs. I mean, what's the worst she could do?" I asked while laughing without humor.

Portlyn shrugged, "Or you picked her because she's pretty," she said looking down to the ground.

I rolled my eyes, "Portlyn, please, she's going to be a Random. I would never be with a Random and I would never even give her a second glance. She's the enemy now, and she looks like a good fight. Who knows, maybe you'll learn to dislike her too."

She sighed, "Oh come on, Chad. Just give her a break. She's not even in Hollywood yet and you're already trying to find something to argue with her on. You don't even know her!" she exclaimed while she stopped in the middle of the hallway.

I stopped with her and laughed a bit, "I don't have to know her to know that she's not someone I like. When she comes, I'm going to treat her just like anyone else that I've ever met. She's not on the Falls so she's not going to be treated like she is. It's as simple as that."

She rolled her eyes, "Chad, grow up for once," she said before she huffed and walked away from me like she usually does when she's angry.

"She's not pretty," I muttered to myself, "she's beautiful," I said even quieter as I made my way back over to the set with my head hung low trying to figure out what I'm going to do when little Miss Sunshine comes to Hollywood, and most importantly, the rival show. This would make one good Mackenzie Falls episode.

(Flashback 2)- Pre-dating

Chad's POV

"Knock knock," a familiar voice said while she entered my dressing room.

I sighed a bit as I got up off of my couch and came face to face with a Miss. Sonny Munroe. "What do you want and how did you even get in here?" I ask a little harsher than I expected.

Sonny quickly brushed it off and came further into the room, "Well, it was a replacement security guard because Murphy is on vacation and I told him that I'd be in and out, I just needed to ask you a question, and he said I could go in because I wasn't on your banned wall. I just wanted to see if you wanted to go and do something," she said shrugging a bit.

"What makes you think I want to do something with you?" I said before I even thought about it. When I looked down, I saw her eyes were filled with hurt and I immediately felt bad, "Wait, that came out wrong," I said quickly while I mentally slapped myself.

Sonny looked down to the ground, still obviously hurt by both comments, "Sonny," I said quickly while she looked up, "I'm sorry. I guess I'm just a little surprised as all. What I meant to say is what and why," I explained myself quickly.

She sighed a bit before looking up to me, "You looked like you were having a bad day, and when my friends have a bad day, we go out and try to make them feel better, because that' what friends do. I didn't mean anything fancy or even public if you didn't want to. I just wanted to make sure you were alright I guess," she said softly before she made her way to the door with her head down low.

"Sonny, wait!" I called out quickly, "You're right, I am having a bad day. Rehearsal didn't go as great as I was hoping, ratings are down, and I'm just going through a few personal things and I took it out on you. Random's don't come and talk to me, let alone ask me if I wanted to hang out."

She looked back up to me and stared me in the eyes for a few seconds before talking, "I'm sorry about your bad day," she said as her expression softened a bit after a few seconds. "I told you many times that we're not as bad as you make us out to be. We actually care about people, and we even care about you most of the time," she said with a little laugh.

I smiled for the first time that day as I grabbed my jacket off of the couch before I looked back to her, "Well, Sunshine, it looks like you're stuck with me for the night," I said while she looked up with a smile, "And, just because of your kindness," I said teasing her a bit, "we can go out in public if you'd like," I said while she laughed.

She smiled as we walked out of my dressing room, "Oh really? Does either of us have to wear disguises?" she asked.

I shook my head, "Not unless we want to," I said shrugging my shoulders.

She smiled brightly as I led her out to my car trying to think of something we could do. Before I even opened my mouth, she looked over to me with a huge smile spread across her face, "I know what we can do tonight," she said while we got to my car, "Let's go bowling," she said all excited.

I chuckled a bit to myself as we both got into my car, my baby 911 cherry red Porsche. "Bowling it is then," I said simply while I drove to the only bowling alley I could remember.

As we sat in the car, Sonny said relaxed against the seat while she occasionally looked over to me, "You're the Random that I actually like, you know," I said after a few minutes. "I don't mind the other ones, I just don't count them as my best friends," I said as I rolled my eyes a bit. "You're different. You're not forced to go out with me, you're not paid to go out with me, and you're not some crazed fan girl. That's why I like you, Munroe. You're simple and that's all I ever really wanted," I said with a small smile.

Sonny returned my smile as she looked back over to me, "Thank you," she said quickly, "You're not as hard headed as everyone plays you out to be, you know," she said while I laughed a bit to myself, "I think it's all in the name. You use your three names, and that's why people are intimidated by you. I don't fall for that game though, Cooper," she said in a warning tone.

I smile a bit as I looked over to her, "Good," I said simply. "I don't want you to fall for my little trick. It's bad enough that everyone else does, I don't need to lose a real friend over it. I'm actually pretty relaxing and chill when I'm not at work. You just always seem to catch me on bad days," I said with a little chuckle.

Sonny smiled, "Well, maybe we'll have to hang out on a weekend then to put that theory to test," she said teasingly while I rolled my eyes playfully.

"I'm being nice and relaxing now, aren't I?" I asked while I look my eyes off of the read and looked over to her, "I mean, I'm taking you bowling, I'm taking my favorite car, and I'm taking out a Random to a public place," I said teasing her back.

She laughed a bit while she playfully punched my arm, "Hey!" she said defensively, "I told you we didn't have to go out in public if you didn't want to," she pointed out, "But thank you," she said sincerely.

I smiled a bit as I pulled into the parking lot of the bowling alley and looked back to her with the warmest smile I could manage, "Anytime, Sunshine," I said while a light blush crept up onto her cheeks, "Now, who's ready to lose to Chad Dylan Cooper in bowling?" I asked in a playful arrogant tone.

"Bring it on, Cooper," she said while we both got out of the car and made our way into the bowling alley smiling. As soon as we were inside, I went up and paid for the games and the shoes before Sonny could even manage to think of it.

When we got to our alley and started lacing up our shoes, she pulled out some money and handed it to me, "You're not paying for my bowling," she said simply while she still held the money out.

I rolled my eyes, "Sonny, I'm Chad Dylan Cooper, you don't have to pay for anything when you're with me," I said with a smile, "but if you want, you can go get beverages if you want," I said with a smile while she sighed in defeat and made her way up to the concession window and waited for our drinks.

I finished lacing up my shoes and got myself a ball before Sonny came back. After a few minutes, I saw her come down with our drinks; pepsi for her and mountain dew for myself. I smiled a bit as I took the drinks out of her hands and put them in the cup holders, "Thank you," I said while she smiled and nodded while she went and got herself her own ball.

When she came back, she was up first. She managed to get a spare on the first frame. "Game on, Cooper," she said with a smile before she went and sat down waiting for me.

"Let's make this a bet," I said while I went down and managed to get down to eye level with her, "Loser has to kiss the winner," I said with a smirk while she rolled her eyes.

"I thought you said to never mention our kiss to anyone, and yet, you want to kiss me in front of all of these strangers?" she asked while I still held onto my smirk. "Just admit it, Cooper, you just want to kiss me," she said confidently.

I shrugged my shoulders, "How about our bowling game decides that?" I said before I went up and threw my ball down the lane, earning me a strike on the first frame.

Sonny smiled as she stood up and brushed her shoulder against mine, "Looks like you have yourself a bet, Chad," she said with a smile while she went up and did her second frame.

At the end of our first game, I won 210-200. "So, Sonny," I said with a small laugh as I walked to her, "How are we doing this? Loser kisses winner after best out of three or just this single game? I'll let you pick since you're losing both ways anyways," I said shrugging my shoulders.

She smirked at me, "Best out of three," she said simply while she went and bowled a strike on the first frame. When she came back, she leaned down, "I'm not going down without a fight, Cooper," she whispered in my ear before she went and sat down.

I stood up awestruck for a few seconds before I turned around and met her stare. Sonny Munroe was going to be the death of me, I thought to myself as we continue to bowl, never once taking my eyes off of her.

At the end of three games, I still won two of the three. All in all, Sonny was actually a good sport about it. She walked over and smiled to me before she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me softly, yet, with a hint a passion, for several long seconds before she pulled away just enough to meet my stare down to her, "Good game, Cooper," she whispered before she pulled away completely and went to sit down to unlace her shoes.

"We need to go bowling more often," I muttered to myself while the taste of her lips still lingered on mine, making it the second kiss from Sonny Munroe. I smiled to myself as I gave myself a mental note to make sure that the kiss wasn't the last one.

Present day

Chad's POV

"Chad?" Sonny called out to me as I came out of my trance.

I looked down to her to meet her worried glance as she gave me a questioning stare, "Are you okay? You were out of it for a few seconds there," she said in a worried tone while I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"I've never been better," I said softly as she wound her arms around my neck.

"I love you," she whispered up to me.

I smiled as I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers gently, "I love you too," I whispered against her lips before we both found ourselves both submerged in each other's arms.

I hope you all enjoyed it! I'll explain parts in a minute, but here is Sonny's engagement ring! (take out the spaces in your url bar, then it should be fine)

But I really liked this chapter honestly. I liked writing the flashbacks: it gives us way into their past that I talked about in previous chapters

And we got to see a flirtatious Channy too during the last flashback=]

And to explain the letters: P- Perfect- referring to the engagement, K- Keeper- referring to Sonny's 3rd flashback kiss

But the big thing is that Sonny said YES so now, I need to decide: wedding during this story OR the sequel? That's my big question for YOU to answer and for YOU to decide

I also wanted to thank a good majority of you. A lot of people have said that I stole story ideas from other people, but in all honesty, I didn't. I read the stories that people said I 'stole' from, and I didn't steal anything. I originally read a short story from a whole different story (it was a book) called Alphabet Weekends and I liked the title, so I used it.

Everything else was my idea and like some people pointed out, I started writing this in the beginning of '10 while others wrote theirs months after mine. I don't mind that people base stories off of mine, but some people used actual content from my story, and that's why I'm angry. Luckily, the story was removed, but don't take from me. I don't like that and I didn't do anything to you.

BUT

I hope you all liked it again=]

AND ANOTHER SURPRISE! I am having another contest=]

I won't reveal it until the next chapter, but if you just can't wait, feel free to ask in a review or a pm if you want=] You can get a head start then=]

But thank you all for reading and sticking with my story=] I promise, I'll update from now on. OFFICIALLY OFF HIATUS (partially because I'm on break haha)

But...hmm...I want 20-25 reviews before I update.

Sorry for wanting so many, I just want to make sure I still have viewers, and since I've been gone for so long, I want to make sure my story is still worth writing, so I want to make sure I have 20-25 people actually reading it=]

But merry belated Christmas and happy holidays!
