Like, literally obsessed :D I really like how it turned out. Ohh, and if you're just a Channy junkie ... then just bare with the story for a while because it does get to them eventually :D Much love to my American friend Alex :D She is made of awesomeness!

We're currently working on our first collaboration so look out for that people.

By the way, this is DEFINITELY a two-shot, it's already been written out so that's how I know ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own SWAC, Cupid's Arrow or the Popcorn Twins (Zora owns the last one now muahahaha)

"We've looked everywhere! Zora must have hid them in Mexico or something." Sighs a disappointed Grady.

Nico thinks for a moment, before tentatively suggesting, "Dude, there is one place we haven't looked ..."

Grady frowns. "Where?"

Nico pauses for a moment. "...The Condour Basement." Nico tells him sinisterly.

Grady gasps. "Nico! We can't go in there."

Nico gulps. "G, it's for the Popcorn twins. We have to."

Grady, eyes still wide, nods. "Okay, you go first." Grady motions to the stairway, pushing him gently towards it.

"Oh no you don't. You go first!" Nico insists.

"You!"

"You!"

"You!"

"Dude, we're starting to sound like Sonny and Chip. Now come on, we're men! Let's do this thing." Nico says as confidently as possible, edging towards the stairway.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Nico turns to see Grady still cowering at the top of the steps. "G, come on! I'm not going down here by myself."

Grady nods, fumbling around the wall to find a light switch. "I can't find the light."

"Uh, I have my phone..? We'll have to use that for light."

Grady pulls his phone out too, using the screensaver as light for the room.

Four steps.

Five steps.

Six steps.

Seven steps.

Nico glances back once more to see Grady bumping into the back of him. "Dude, not so close."

"Sorry N, I'm just a little nervous." Says Grady with a quiver in his voice.

"Me too, let's get this over with." Nico holds his phone tighter in his hand, the light from the top of the stairway was getting bleaker now.

Eight steps.

Nine steps.

Ten steps.

Eleven steps.

Nico reaches his foot out to step on the twelfth and realises that there isn't anymore steps. "Right G, we're at the bottom. We need to try and do this as quickly as possible."

"Agreed." Grady agrees meekly.

*

After twenty minutes of searching, the two boys had found nothing more than dust bunnies and a few old board games.

Nico sits on the floor in defeat. "We need to face up to the truth G, Zora has ... killed the Identical Popcorn twins."

Grady sits down too, disappointed. "All because we opened her mail again..."

"Dude, you're sitting on me." Nico says, pushing Grady off of him.

"Ohh, I thought it was comfy." Grady shuffles away from Nico's lap to feel ... a sharp point? "Ow!" Grady yelps.

"What is it dude?!" Nico yells frantically, thinking something sinister had got him in the dreaded basement.

"Something is sticking into me." Grady pulls the article away from his butt.

"What is it?" Nico asks, squinting in the dark.

"Some sort of stick? Let's have a look in the light and see." Grady advises, standing up and heading for the faint light at the top of the stairs. The two jog up the stairs to see what article lies in Grady's hand.

In Grady's hand lay a slender stick, a metal point situated at the bottom of the arrow and a sparkly red shaped love heart on the top.

"What is it?" Nico asks suspiciously, looking it over.

Grady twirls the arrow in his fingers. "I dunno, some kind of arrow."

Nico grins. "You know what this would be good for, don't you?"

Grady grins too. "Throwing at Pooper?"

Nico Hi-fives him. "You read my mind sometimes."

*

"Sonny! Guess what we found!" Grady calls her excitedly.

"Hey guys. Happy Valentines." Sonny says fondly. "And, what did you find?"

"Dude, don't tell people!" Nico tells Grady, flicking him on the head.

Grady shrugs. "Sonny's cool, she won't tell on us."

Nico relents. "Fine, but only Sonny."

Sonny frowns, eyeing them suspiciously. "What have you two done?"

Grady pulls the arrow out from behind his back. "We found this!"

Sonny gasps. "Is that what I think it is?"

The boys both frown. "What do you think it is?" They ask simultaneously.

"Well it looks like ... Cupid's arrow..." Sonny says in awe.

Grady raises an eyebrow. "Cupid's arrow?"

"Yeah! It's the arrow of love. Cupid shoots it at a person, then whoever the person is looking at, they fall in love with them." Sonny explains, wonder in her voice.

The boys share a look. "That would be ... awesome!" They both roar together, high-fiving each other.

"Imagine all the girls we could trick into liking us." Grady imagines animatedly.

Sonny takes the arrow in between her fingers. "It's a shame it's just a copy."

Nico shrugs. "Well at least it's still useful for one thing; throwing at snobs from the Falls!"

Sonny chortles. "I'm sure Chad would love that. Tell him Happy Valentines from me." Sonny says with a chuckle, handing Grady back the arrow and skipping away.

Nico grins. "So you wanna go get Cha-"

"You idiots!" Tawni screeches, running into the room. "How many times?! You do not touch my stuff!!"

The duo share a knowing look. Revenge! Grady had hurled the arrow at Tawni before she could say another word. As soon as the arrow had left Grady's fingers the two regretted it, the wrath of Tawni Hart was almost unavoidable. The two got ready to run, fast.

Anger didn't describe the look on Tawni's face. "What are you-"

*POOF*

As the arrow hit Tawni's hip a few golden sparks flew and she suddenly paled, turning to face Nico. "Nico," Tawni starts seductively, twirling her hair. "I've never noticed how ... gorgeous you are."

The two boys share a look. "Whoa."

Tawni grins goofily at Nico. "Nico, maybe you and I could-"

Nico looks to Grady, terrified. "Run?" Grady asks him.

Nico nods in agreement and the two make a break for it, skidding on the floor to pick up the arrow on their frantic run to get out.

*

"You think we got rid of her?" Grady pants, out of breath.

"I think so, damn ... didn't know that girl could run so fast!" Nico frowns. "G, do you realise something?"

Grady's eyes light up and he beams. "Yeah! There's no one guarding the Fro-yo machine. Let's go."

Just as Grady's about to run off, Nico pulls him back by the collar. "Not that you fool! As soon as we hit Tawni with this," Nico lifts the arrow up to his face. "She started hit-ting on me..."

Grady thinks for a moment. "Nah, probably just a coincidence."

Nico smacks him on the back of the head. "Think about what Sonny told us! What if this is Cupid's arrow?"

Grady thinks for a moment. "It's possible..."

"Mm-hm, now let's try it out." Nico scans the Cafeteria. "We need two people who can't stand each other..."

Grady sighs in frustration. "We don't know two people who hate each other!"

Nico chuckles, glancing around the Cafeteria to look for a victim. His eyes land on Chastity, who is currently waltzing into the Cafeteria in a graceful manor. "How would you feel about Chastity being in love with you?"

Grady grins too in realisation, spying Chastity flicking her hair over her shoulder. "That would be awesome! Imagine how much that would annoy Chip."

"Right, so you go and stand in front of Chastity and I'll go throw this at her." Nico tells him, ushering Grady over to where Chastity is requesting her lunch from Brenda.

"Hey Chastity." Grady says with a knowing grin, standing in between her and Brenda.

"Uh ... Hey Random." Chastity says sarcastically.

Nico sneaks behind her, getting the point of the arrow and hitting her hard in the butt.

*POOF*

Chastity blinks.

"Gr-Grady?" Chastity asks unsurely.

Grady frowns, did the arrow work? "Um..yeah?"

"Grady!" Chastity squeals happily, projecting herself into his arms.

Nico pulls the arrow out gently from behind her, making his way quietly away from the pair with a small smile for his best friend.

"Chastity, what are you doing hugging a Random?" Chad Dylan Cooper asks incredulously, disgust evident in his voice.

Chastity pulls away, still dazed.

"Oh hey Chad." Chastity says distractedly, stroking the side of Grady's face.

"I repeat. What are you doing?!" Chad asks again, shocked.

Grady grins. "Actually Chas," Chastity swoons at the nickname. "I was wondering if you'd like to be my Valentine."

Chad laughs to himself. "Psh, like she'd go anywhere with Cheese Twin 2."

"Actually Grady, I'd love too." Chastity beams, ruffling Grady's hair playfully.

"Pick you up at eight?" Grady asks smoothly, winking.

"Make it seven, we'll have longer together then!" Chastity agrees enthusiastically.

"'Kay." Grady tells her charmingly, sauntering away. Chastity giggles.

"WHAT?! Chastity how could you date a Random?!" Chad Dylan Cooper practically screamed.

"Like you don't want to date Sonny." Chastity shrugs, picking up her order from Brenda.

"Yeah! But I don't, because I care about our show and what people think about it!!" Chad screams.

Nico and Grady snigger quietly. Listening to Chad freak out is fun.

"Well I care about Grady!" Chastity tells him indignantly.

"SINCE WHEN?!" Chad screeches.

"Since five minutes ago!" Chastity screeches back. "Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go check on my Gradykins."

Nico and Grady crack up with laughter at the look on Chad's face.

"Oh Nico baby!" Tawni Hart coos from the door. "Where have you been?" She asks playfully.

Sonny runs in behind her, breathless. "Tawni what is wrong with you?! I've been calling you for twenty minutes!"

"I'm in love Sonny! And it's so great!" Tawni gushes, not paying much attention to Sonny at all. "Nico! Nico! Where are you my Nicokins?" Tawni searches the room with her eyes.

Nico and Grady duck down under the nearest table in a haste.

"Wait, you're in love with Nico?" Sonny asks incredulously. "But y-you're Tawni Hart, you only date Movie stars and Hotel heirs and Princes!"

"My love is not here. I have to find my love!" Tawni says dramatically, flouncing off.

Sonny sighs dramatically.

"Sonny!" Nico calls her when he spies the coast is clear. "Sonny I need to ask you something."

Sonny frowns. "What about?"

"The arrow." Grady tells her, pointing to the article in Nico's hand.

"Sonny, how long does it last?" Nico asks frantically.

Sonny laughs. "How long does what last?"

"Okay, let's pretend that this is Cupid's arrow ... how long does the love last?" Nico asks eagerly.

Sonny frowns. "Well the myth is that when found on any other day, the love lasts for about two hours ... but if it's found on Valentines Day the love lasts till the clock chimes twelve for February 15th. That's unless someone breaks the arrow, then the love disappears instantly. Why?"

"Oh, no reason." Grady shrugs with a nervous laugh. "It's not because we found it and hit Tawni and Chastity with it if that's what you think. Ha ... that would be weird..."

"Dude!" Nico says, thumping Grady on the back of the head.

"Stop doing that!" Grady whines.

"Oh my gosh, baby! Are you okay?" Asks a concerned Chastity, rubbing the back of Grady's head.

Sonny looks from Nico to Grady, then to Chastity. Realisation dawns. "Oh. My. God! That's Cupid's arrow!" Screeches Sonny, looking from Chastity to the arrow.

"Shh, keep it down." Nico shushes her, putting a hand over her mouth.

Sonny peels Nico's hand from her mouth. "And you hit poor Chastity and Tawni with it?"

The two boys look guiltily at each other.

"Right, give me the arrow. It's officially confiscated." Sonny tells the pair, holding out her hand.

"But Sonny!" The pair whine simultaneously.

"Now." She warns them.

Nico reluctantly hands it over.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Chastity asks, smoothing down Grady's hair.

Sonny rolls her eyes. "You two get a room." She pointed to Chastity and Grady with the point of the arrow. "And Nico go find Tawni and restrain her or something." Nico's sighs reluctantly, leaving the Cafeteria calling Tawni's name. Grady doesn't look as reluctant as Nico about taking Chastity's hand and pulling her into a kiss as they leave.

Sonny holds the arrow in both hands, about to snap it, when Chad Dylan Cooper storms over to her. "Sonny will you tell your stupid friend to stay away from Chastity?"

Sonny bristles. "He's not stupid."

"Uh, yah he is." Chad argues back.

"Yah? Stop being an idiot." Sonny rolls her eyes.

"I'll be what I want. No one tells Chad Dylan Cooper what to do!"

Sonny looks away, distracted. "Look Chad, I'm doing something serious-"

Chad gasps. "A moron from So Random doing something serious?"

"Oh, so I'm a moron am I?" Sonny asks, insulted.

"Yup. A big girly moron."

Sonny bristles. "Well I guess you'd be embarrassed if you were obsessed with a Moron for a whole day then, wouldn't you?"

"What the hell are you on about Monroe?" Asks a confused Chad.

Sonny puts her fist around the arrow tightly, she strikes it high up in the air and brings it down again quickly to jab Chad's shoulder.
