A/N: I wanted to do this story for a while, but I just never had the time to write it. I had to change things up in this story to match up with the show. Originally, I meant to have it taken place back in Boulder, but I decided to have it take place at the USATC. Then Rigo came into the picture and now I have to change things around with that, too. This is not going to be a Paystin romance (well, not exactly); it will be a Paystin friendship, so yes, there will be KayAus (I know—I've gone crazy) and Payson/Rigo. Enjoy!

Diclaimer: I don't own the show.


It went against everything she believed in. It went against everything she promised herself that she would not do. So, then why is she having second thoughts about her judgment and morals? Time after time, ever since she found out what sex was and the possible consequences, she promised herself that she would not have sex until long after she had her gold medal. Why does she have this sudden need to now that she is with Rigo? It wasn't like he was pressuring her into anything, more than she was pressuring herself. She doesn't even love him, at least not yet, but she doesn't want to lose him either. She likes him a lot, and it's finally a guy that she deserves.

She knows that there are girls ten times better than her here at the USATC who he can get. Easily. That's one of her biggest fears at the moment—that he realizes she's not good enough and then leaves her. She tries to put those silly thoughts out of her mind, but it's only normal. She usually has confidence in herself—when it comes to gymnastics. But when it comes to boys—her confidence in herself has gone from slim to almost none. Before she was with Max, she was always sure about her decisions about sex, but after what has happened, now she's not sure anymore.

"Uh, oh, Chuck." Cindy paused, looking at the Nano HD2025 Thinker. "This is not good. At all."

Chuck purposely took a seat on his lab chair far away from what she was looking at. His wife always seemed to be… adventurous and nosy. He could only imagine what she was trying to get herself into now. "Cindy, what now?"

"You know how Dan the other day was talking about how one little change from the past can screw up the future?"

He sighed. "I don't listen to Dan."

Cindy rolled her eyes, turning around to face him fully. "You really should. He is our boss, " she noted. Cindy and Chuck have been working in a technology lab for years, working and analyzing new inventions.

"Yes, but his reasoning never makes any sense." Chuck was a bit of a know it all. He was never wrong. Well, he never liked to be proven wrong. Cindy stood up from her seat, putting her hands on her hips. "How? How in the world does he not make any sense?"

"Well, for example, changing something from the past is a lot worse than changing something from the future. That's why time travel is very dangerous, Cindy."

"Yes, Chuck, I know that, but this is serious!"

"Alright, Cindy, what is it this time?"

Cindy smiled. She always was good at getting through to her husband. "Alright, come over here."

She sat back down at her seat in front of the new machine, while Chuck sat down next to her. None of these new inventions were introduced to the public, yet. They wouldn't be introduced for years until it was proven safe.

Chuck squinted, trying to comprehend what he was looking at. "I haven't explored this new one yet; you gotta tell me what exactly I'm looking at."

"You know Payson Keeler? The All-Around Gold medalist at the 2012 Games?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know who she is."

"Well, these are her thoughts."

"Oh, so now we've come to reading people's thoughts? This is weird, Cindy. It's a complete violation of natural human privacy." Chuck further squinted to look at the tiny numbers on the corner of the screen; he then started putting pieces together. It was so tiny that it looked a lot like braille.

"Hold on, Cindy, these are thoughts from the year 2012."

The brunette shrugged. "Yeah, so…."

"What did I tell you about messing with anything more than five years ago? Our technology is still not that advanced. If you mess up something, things can end badly for us."

"But, Chuck, this is very, very serious!" Cindy whined, "Payson Keeler is contemplating on whether or not to have sex with her boyfriend."

Chuck squirmed. His wife was giving him way too much information that he was not comfortable with. "That's none of our business, and quite frankly, I don't want it to ever be any of our business "

"Except it is our business! What if she ends up pregnant or something and can't make it to the Olympics? Do you know how much that can change things? Her and her husband practically reinvented the sport! They're one of my favorite Olympians of all time! I mean, come on, Chuck!" She paused, calming down a bit. "Look, I know what you're gonna say. It's too long ago for us to change anything. I understand that, but it's 2025 right now. It's only been like thirteen years."

Chuck studied his wife's face to find pure sincerity in her eyes. She was getting to him again. "You're sure about this?"

"Yes, Chuck, and the other day I was reading her husband's thoughts from 2012 and he was contemplating whether or not to drop out of the sport completely!"

"What? Why?"

"Because he had lost a big sponsorship at the time, and was running low on money. He wasn't sure about putting all of his luck into winning gold at the 2012 Games."

He signed, rubbing his head. "Alright, pull up the basic information for Payson."

Cindy smiled as she moved to her computer across from the room, while Chuck followed her. She pulled up the 'Population Finder' software and typed into the search box: Payson Keeler. She was surprised to see 'No Results' pop up. Her heart suddenly dropped, as she listed in her head the possible reasons that 'No Results', was popping up, one of which was death.

Suddenly, something clicked in her brain as her heart started to return to a normal beat. She then typed in: Payson Tucker. There were two results: one was a five year old girl from Missouri, and one was a thirty year old woman from Colorado. She wiped off the small sweat from her forehead. She was relieved. She clicked on the results for the second one. This had to be Payson.

"Okay, this is it. Thank God. "

Chuck looked at his wife. "What does it say?"

Cindy began to list off the basic facts. "Age is thirty, date of birth is blah blah blah, address is 342 yade yada yada, spouse is Austin Tucker, she has three kids: Addison, Liam, and Brandon Tucker, her parents are Mark and Kim Keeler, she has a one sibling, and her occupation is coaching at the Rocky Mountains Gymnastics Training Center with her husband, who is the current owner of the Rock. "

Chuck hummed, as if he was deep in thought. "How old are her kids?"

Cindy clicked the 'Offspring' category to explore further information about Payson's children. "Addison, their only daughter, is five, Liam is two, and Brandon is three months."

"Easy. All we have to do is send her children back to the past. Well, at least the first two, the last one is a little too young."

Cindy gasped. They didn't have any children of their own, but her natural motherly instincts kicked in. "And rob the poor parents of their children? They're gonna be worried sick!"

"Relax, Cindy, one week over in the past is equal to a couple hours over here. They'll be back before you know it."

"How are we gonna get them from their parents? Kidnapping is a crime!"

"Don't worry; getting them from their parents is not a problem at all." Cindy learned to never question Chuck and his ideas because he was usually successful with this sort of stuff, but she was still skeptical about this one.

"The time travel machine hasn't been released to the public, yet, though," Cindy warned.

"So? We're only releasing this to the two little kids; it's not like they're actually going to know what's going on. Even if they did, no one is ever going to take their word for it. "

"I'm not sure about this anymore, Chuck." Chuck kissed her forehead, as he gently massaged her shoulders, trying to relieve some of her tension.

"You wanted to fix this? Well, this is the way to do it," Chuck paused, "Don't worry about anything, okay? This is going to turn out just fine."

Cindy smiled, relaxing a bit. "Okay, your right, but how is this going to fix things?"

Chuck took off his lab coat as he was trying to help Cindy understand. "When a child is lost and doesn't know where they are, who are they naturally inclined to look for first?"

Cindy narrowed her eyebrows. She was confused. "Their parents?"

"Exactly, and when a parent sees their child they're naturally inclined to take care of them."

Cindy was started to see where he was going with this. "There is no way that they're gonna believe that they are their kids. What are we going to make them say? 'Hi we're your kids from the future,'" Cindy said, trying to do her best to imitate a little kid voice.

"We are not going to say anything. We're just going place the kids at the right place at the right time, they are going to find one of their parents, and then let nature take it's course for the rest of the week,well, for us it would be a couple of hours. And if they don't believe them within the first couple of days, then we'll just bring them back."

"So what's the plan to help fix this?"

"Hopefully they realize that Addison and Liam are indeed, in fact, their kids. After that, Austin and Payson will have no choice but to take care of them, and Payson will then realize how tough it would be to be a teenage mother, so any thought of sex for the time being, will be gone."

"And what about Austin, how is this all going to help him?"

"Oh, trust me, that one will be easy."

Cindy sighed. She was worried that this might not work, and that everything would be ruined. "Are you sure that this will work, Chuck?"

Chuck smiled and nodded his head. "All we have to do is send those kids back to the past. 2012 at the USA Training Center."


Author's Note: How do you guys like this so far? If you didn't realize, the first part of the story was Payson's thoughts in 2012, and the last part was taken place in 2025. I was inspired by an iCarly story I read, even though I don't watch that show. I thought it would be interesting to do this for Make It or Break It, I haven't read a story like this in the MIOBI community. It is unrealistic with the whole time travel thing, but who knows maybe things like this will be available in the future! Please Review and tell me how you like the story so far.

Also, I wanted to include my thoughts about Payson/Rigo. I'm still a Payson/Austin fan, all the way, and I still think Austin is best for Payson, vise-versa. But since Austin is all gaga over Kaylie at the moment,I guess Rigo is fine for now. They're cute and he seems like a nice guy for Payson at the moment, and she definitely deserves him and I think he would help her gain her confidence back, but I'm still Paystin fan forever!
