A/N: Here's my take on what would have happened if Jackson Tyler DIDN'T cancel. This chapter's basically an introduction, it's pretty short, but the ones to follow will be longer. I don't own SWAC or anything else, really. Please review! I'd also like to dedicate this story to DannySamLover20, who has favorited all of my stories! Thank you so much :)

Guess Who's NOT Coming to Guest Star!

"Ahhh…JACKSON TYLER!" squealed Sonny and Tawni, looking longingly at said movie star's poster.

"He's so dreamy!" Tawni sighed contentedly.

"His eyes shine like a thousand rubies!" added Sonny. Even if she preferred sapphires.

"His eyes look like he's been swimming in a pool with too much chlorine!" returned Grady, who clearly held the Tridark star in contempt. Nico nodded, showing his agreement.

"Oh, he is one hot vampire. AND he's gonna be a guest star on So Random! this week!" Sonny punctuated this news with another squeal and jumping up and down, accompanied by Tawni

"My goodness, that's quite a reception," said Marshall as he entered the prop house. "Thank you. Now listen up, people, I have some wonderful news."

"Oh!" Tawni broke in, "Jackson Tyler's here, and he's all sweaty!"

"I bet his sweat shines like a thousand rubies!" inserted Sonny, starting off another round of giggles and shrieks from the two girls.

"Well, I don't know about that, but he's definitely here!" Marshall announced.

"YES!" exclaimed the girls, both rushing out of the prop house to find him.

"NOOOO!" moaned Grady and Nico.

At that moment, Chad Dylan Cooper strolled into the prop house.

"What are you doing here?" asked Nico accusatorily.

"Just checking to see if your little comedy show still existed or Mr. Condor finally took you guys off the air," Chad made up on the spot. "I figured that was what all that screaming was about earlier."

"Ugh, no. It's because that guy, Jackson Tyler is here. Tawni and Sonny are going crazy over him!" Grady groaned.

"Wait, what? Jackson Tyler? He's almost as bad as Zac Efron! What is he doing here?" Chad didn't like the idea of another teen star at Condor Studios, especially one as handsome and popular as Jackson Tyler.

"He's a guest star on So Random! this week," Marshall informed Chad. Seeing the look on Chad's face, he elaborated. "You see, I think we need a boost in ratings," here Chad scoffed, "and having the most popular teen in America on our show will definitely do that." Chad snorted.

"You seriously think that Jackson Tyler is the most popular teen in America?" asked Chad. "Well, he's not. Because no one can compare to Chad Dylan Cooper!"

"Right, right," acquiesced Marshall, who'd gotten used to this kind of talk after awhile. "Well, the sketch he's in is going to be a hilarious one. He and Sonny are going to star together."

If Chad had been drinking something right then, he would have spit it out. Luckily, he didn't, and his only visible reaction was wrinkling his nose. "Sonny is going to star with that creep? What is this sketch even about?"

"Oh, man, it's hilarious!" interjected Nico. "Jackson plays a paramedic so cute that girls stop by his favorite café and pretend to hurt themselves just to meet him!" Chad's eyebrows went up.

"Yeah, and Sonny has to faint into his arms!" Grady revealed. The look in Chad's eyes was now unmistakable.

"Marshall, where can I find this 'teen star' Jackson Tyler?" he inquired in a carefully measured voice.

"I, uh, don't think that's really any of your business, Chad, I mean, it's not like you work at So Random! and this doesn't really affect you and…" Marshall began to ramble.

"Marshall."

"Uh…right. Down the hall to your left, third door to the right," gave in Marshall, wiping his perspiring forehead. Chad nodded in acknowledgement, and then stormed out of the prop house, his barely concealed anger showing.

"Oh, boy," was all that Marshall could say. Nico and Grady exchanged confused looks with one another before shrugging and heading to the cafeteria.
