OK new story. Instead of doing what everyone else does and go into the future (totally unrealistic by the way, guys). I've decided to go into the past and have something change drastically. Be sure to read everything in bold or you'll get incredibly confused.

Chapter One: Clocks- Coldplay

Confusion never stops

Closing walls and ticking clocks

Gonna come back and take you home

The Dylan Coopers were one of the richest families in Hollywood. For one thing, their estate was one of the largest and was situated in one of the most expensive areas of all America. Not only did they have a huge house, the family had billions of dollars to spend on anything they wanted, whether it being cars or clothes.

Unfortunately, the Dylan Coopers were also some of the most stuck up people in Hollywood…Well, at least one of them was.

Chad Dylan Cooper lived with his mother, Sophia Dylan, his stepfather, Charles Cooper and his annoying normal little sister two years younger than him, Charis Dylan Cooper.

Chad's biological father, David Goldfarb had left Sophia with the kids when Chad was only eight years old, leaving them a few million to help them along until Chad Dylan Goldfarb got a higher paid acting job.

One day in a shopping centre, nine year old Chad Dylan had decided that climbing to the top of a pole would give him a better look at the fans of The Goody Gang. The man that saved him, a rich director by the name of Charles Cooper, instantly hit off with Sophia and they were married the next summer in Hawaii. The kids' last names were changed back to double-barrelled, but this time with the last name Cooper.

16 December 2009- Dylan Cooper Residence

Life was good for Chad Dylan Cooper. Being sixteen often made you feel superior to those around you, it didn't help that he was the older brother…

"CHAD DYLAN COOPER!" yelled a voice.

Chad smirked, leaning back in his computer chair. "Yes Charis?" he asked calmly as his younger sister stormed into the room.

"What in Gary and Larry's names is this?"

"What in whose names?" Chad asked, confused.

"Gary and Larry," Charis replied, momentarily forgetting about what she had come there for. "You know, the guys that don't see the bear behind them while they talk about weird things happening in their day?" At Chad's blank look she sighed. "It's from So Random!"

Charis went through many obsessions ranging from books to movies to television shows. Chad didn't see the point. Girls should be obsessed with only one thing, MacKenzie Falls.

"Whatever," Chad said absently. "What are you here for anyway?"

Charis stood up straighter as she remembered. "What is a MacKenzie Falls poster doing on my wall?" she asked through clenched teeth.

"I don't know," Chad replied. "Why are you obsessed with Chuckle City?"

Charis rolled up the poster and wacked her brother with it. "Because it's funny and ever since Sonny joined, it's been funnier!"

"Sonny is untalented just like the rest of them," Chad said, sniffing a little. That day had been interesting for him and Sonny. He had saved her from humiliation by dressing up as her fan that she had created. Yes, today was a good day for Chad Dylan Cooper.

Charis had noticed his triumphant smirk and assumed that it was because of the MacKenzie Falls poster. She was just about to hit him with the poster again for good luck when a portal opened and three people fell out onto the carpet.

"Oof," one said.

"Get off me," one of the others groaned.

Charis and Chad looked at them in surprise, frowns gracing both their faces.

"What are you..?" Charis started.

"Was that a..?" Chad said at the same time.

That was when the first person who had spoken climbed to his feet and dusted himself off.

"Excuse me," Chad said to the trespassers. "What are you doing here?"

The guy who had stood up was looking at Chad curiously. "Just out of interest," he said, "is your name Chad Dylan Cooper?"

Chad smiled smugly, straightening an invisible tie. "Why yes I am."

The intruder had spiky ginger-ish hair, but other than that, looked awfully familiar and was wearing a MacKenzie Falls uniform.

"Do I know you?" Chad asked.

The guy grinned. "Oh sorry." He stuck a hand out. "I'm Chad Dylan Cooper."

Sixteen year old Chad looked at the proffered hand then at the person whom had spoken.

The next thing he saw was darkness.

5 October 2010- Chad Dylan Cooper's Dressing Room

"Haha, look at this one!"

"Oh my gosh, is that a budgie?"

Both teenagers burst into hysterics.

"I love this website," Sonny said after calming down her laughter.

Chad nodded, scrolling down, nearly laughing at the anticipation of the next picture.

"Who takes a picture with their chicken?" Chad asked, disbelieving.

"Look at his face," Sonny spluttered between laughs.

They both collapsed into giggles again, tears starting to stream down their cheeks.

If you're wondering what they were looking at, it was a website called 'Awkward Family Pet Photos'. It had pictures of all these families taking pictures with their pets. The second picture that Sonny and Chad happened to look at was a picture of a guy with an almost MacKenzie Falls look on his face, holding a chicken. No wonder Sonny almost fell off Chad who was sitting on the computer chair.

"Oh that's it," Sonny said, disappointed as the page came to an end. "I've got to send that to Lucy, she'll love it."

"Three days," Chad said absently.

Sonny's brow crinkled in confusion. "What?"

"It's been three days since you gave me a second chance," he explained.

Sonny smiled. "So it has. Halloween's coming up. We're filming the episode on the Wednesday before."

Chad tried to look interested. "What's in it?"

Sonny grinned. "Well we've got a Check it Out Girls sketch where Alexa and Sabrina have dressed as each other and all these monsters come to the check out," she said. "We've got a lot of sketches actually. Shaquille O'Neal's guest starring too which will be fun and Allstar Weekend's performing."

"That's co…" Chad started.

"Ooh and I get to sing one of my songs!" Sonny exclaimed happily.

Chad's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Which one?"

"Work of Art," Sonny said.

"I like that one," Chad said. "Can I come to the taping?"

"Sure," Sonny replied, grinning.

Zora suddenly ran into the room. "Sonny, Chip!" she said. "Come quick. Nico and Grady have gone missing!"

"What?" Sonny exclaimed, jumping off Chad's lap. "When?"

"We don't know," Zora said, leaning her hands on her knees to catch her breath. "Come quickly, I have a feeling their magic box is involved."

Sonny rolled her eyes. "I knew we should have burnt it."

Five minutes later, Sonny, Chad and Zora were looking quizzically at the box.

"So you think that they got transported somewhere like Trey?" Sonny asked Zora.

"It seems the most plausible explanation," the genius replied. "So the most obvious solution would be to go into the box as well and see what happens."

"That's insane!" Sonny yelled. "What if it kills us?"

"Do you want to find Nico and Grady or not?"

The next thing Sonny knew, they were in the box and trying to knock the outside against something.

"Marshall!" Sonny yelled as the So Random! director walked by, talking into his earpiece.

"No, Mother," he was saying. "I do not have a lady friend."

"Marshall!" Sonny tried again.

Marshall looked up and saw them in the box. "Uh, got to go, Mother. What are you guys doing in there?"

"Uh nothing," Zora said. "Can you please knock on the outside of it for us?"

Marshall knocked on it, wondering what it would do when suddenly, the actors inside the box disappeared.

16 December 2009- Chad Dylan Cooper's Bedroom

"I think he took it rather well," Chad said, looking at his younger self who had fainted.

Sonny rolled her eyes, standing up. "So I think we know what happened to Nico and Grady." Then her motherly instinct kicked in and she ran over to sixteen year old Chad's side.

Zora was busy observing the area to find out when exactly they were.

Charis was still looking at them, open mouthed. "You're from So Random!" she exclaimed. "It's my absolute favourite show!"

"And you are?" Zora asked.

Chad stepped over himself to stand next to Charis. "She's my little sister, Charis. And If I'm right, which I usually am, you're fourteen, fifteen next March whenever that is?"

Charis nodded, unsure what to say. "How old are you?" she asked.

Chad smirked. "Seventeen," he said.

Zora quickly butted in. "What's today's date?"

"The sixteenth of December," Charis replied.

Zora ran some mental calculations through her head. "9 days until the Christmas when I got Brainy from my mum," she said. "It also means that today is Wednesday and the day that Sonny's fan visited. Oh it's also the day I scared Nico and Grady with the Christmas present I got from Grandma."

Everyone just looked at her.

"Chad's waking!" Sonny suddenly called out.

16 year old Chad opened his eyes cautiously. Staring down at him was a very familiar face, but with different hair. But he'd recognize that face anywhere. Heck, he'd seen it in a blonde wig that very day.

"Sonny?" he croaked.

Sonny smirked. "The one and only," she said. "Now why don't you lie down on the bed?"

Chad looked at her curiously before remembering what had caused him to faint in the first place. "Wait wasn't there another me?"

17 year old Chad stepped forward, winking. "I'm right here."

Sonny rolled her eyes. "You haven't changed one bit."

"I have so!" older Chad exclaimed. "If I hadn't, why would I be da-" Sonny slapped a hand over his mouth.

"Excuse us for a few seconds," she said, making younger Chad lie down and dragging older Chad to the corner of the room. "We can't tell younger you that we're dating or he might never ask me out. We could change the whole course of the last year."

Chad tried to get his head around it. "So it's not like in the Harry Potter movies when they go back, they've already been back and you can't alter the future. It's like in Back to the Future where they did change the future?"

Sonny's brain tried to keep up. "Yes, I think so. Ask Zora."

"How are we going to get back?" Chad addressed the whole room. "It's not like the box came with us like the DeLorean DMC-12 in Back to the Future. I don't even think the box had plutonium, let alone a flux capacitor to put the plutonium in."

"Someone's a little obsessed," Sonny teased.

"They're my favourite movies other than Chad Dylan Cooper: The Chad Dylan Cooper Story-A Chad Dylan Cooper Production and Bangs and Fangs."

"You know," Charis said. "I don't want to know."

"Good plan," Sonny replied. "Though I suppose you've seen Back to the Future too?"

Charis nodded. "I loved them. I always dreamed of having a hover board." She zoned off with a dreamy look on her face. She suddenly snapped out of it. "So you are actually from the future?"

Sonny nodded. "Don't ask how it happened; blame Nico and Grady's 'magic' box."

Charis started randomly pacing the room, muttering to herself.

"I like your sister," Sonny said to Chad. "She's so unlike you."

Chad made a face. "She had brown hair and eyes. Of course she's nothing like me."

"Personality wise," Sonny corrected. "We've been in the same room as her for ten minutes and she hasn't said one thing about herself or flipped her hair."

At that moment Charis chose to flip her tiny ponytail as she turned to pace the other way. Sonny rolled her eyes, still a Dylan Cooper then.

She turned to look at younger Chad who was staring at them curiously. Sonny quickly noticed why. She and her boyfriend were standing awfully close together.

She took a quick step back causing Chad to frown at her, confused. She nodded towards sixteen year old Chad.

Older Chad scowled at him. "I never thought that I'd say this, but I hate myself."
