Chapter 1

The cast of So Random and Mackenzie Falls sat across from one another in a deadlocked stare at one another. They were seat at a large mahoghany table in the board room. Their eyes didn't budge when Marshall or the director of Mackenzie Falls entered, but they all rose and stared when entered the room.

Marshall said nervously, "Well, kids, we have good news and bad news. Which would you rather hear first?" The kids all disagreed with the other cast causing a loud uproar. Marshall rolled his eyes and continued, "The good news is both sets are having new additions."

"Thats wonderful!" Sonny exclaimed.

"Excuse me," Tawni replied sharply, "but I didn't want this addition." Sonny smirked as Tawni gave her costar a menacing look.

Chad Dylan Cooper added, "and what if the new kids try to take my spotlight? Chad Dylan Cooper does not share well."

"That leads us to the bad news," the director of Mackenzie Falls said, "Those new additions are here for their own shows to replace the current ones."

"I don't get it," Portlyn said spacily.

"What?" The whole sets of actors exploded knowing well what the director meant.

"Why?" asked Sonny completely flabbergasted.

said, "You all are getting too old for your target audience. You are becoming irrelevant to them. We need sets of younger actors."

"Excuse me," Tawni snapped standing up, "I am exactly what every girl wants to be. I am completely relevant." A few actors and Marshall rolled their eyes.

Chad protested, "And every kid loves the greatest actor of our generation."

"Are you sure they aren't related?" joked Nico. Grady laughed as Tawni and Chad jumped away in repulsion from one another.

Mr. Condor cut out the protesting casts of Mackenzie Falls and So Random. He bellowed, "Enough!" The entire room shrunk in their seats as they stared at the studio owner. "You have until we replace yourselves, and you will have excellant reccommendations for you. That is all!"

The cast of Mackenzie Falls and So Random with tears in their arms left the board room. Sonny put her arm around Chad Dylan Cooper and said, "We'll figure something out."

Zora replied, "Leave it to me! I can make Mr. Condor disappear if you want." The mischevious glint in her eye both amused and terrified the actors.

Sonny said, "We aren't going to do that. C'mon, we are professionals here. We will find other jobs." She looked positive as Tawni shook her head and laughed. "What's so funny?" asked Sonny.

"Just think about what you said," Tawni responded bittersweetly, "While I go look in the mirror and tell myself that I look pretty." She strutted away from her companions.

"She's taking this well," Chad said sarcastically.

Sonny replied, "C'mon, she has to be seriously hurting about this."

Grady replied,"She should be fine by lunch."

Nico added, "And in the meantime, we should figure out what we're going to do next."
