Here's my latest story! It's probably going to be a three shot. (I just have to write the rest.) It's going to be rated T for later chapters. Though there is nothing bad in this part, except some mild swearing. Also I based this story after a TV show episode, so if you can guess it right you get a...I don't know yet. TBA. Hint: the episode is named Home Economics.

Diclaimer: I don't own anything. Not the Sweet Life of Zack and Cody, Aaron Stone, Sonny With A Chance, or the episode of the show that I based this story off of.

Chad sat on Sonny's couch at her apartment looking as tired as she had ever seen him.

"Chad, are you alright?" Sonny asked, concerned.

"I'm fine, healthy as a horse," he replied, not looking at her straight in the face.

Sonny narrowed her eyes. Chad didn't look at her straight in the eyes unless he was upset. And he looked upset.

"I didn't ask about your health. I asked if you're alright. As in, are you happy?"

"Yeah, I'm completely and totally fine. Would I ever lie to you?" Now he looked her straight in the eyes. Sonny got lost in them instantly and just nodded her head. "That's what I thought," he said smugly.

"Sonny, Mac—I mean, Chad—" Mrs. Munroe still hadn't learned that Chad's name was not Mackenzie "—it's time to call it a night," she said.

"Oh, yeah, look at the time. I have to go...now," said Chad. He ran out without saying a word.

"Wait, Chad, you forgot your jacket!" Sonny called to him.

"Give it to me tomorrow," Chad called over his shoulder. "Bye!"

Sonny walked back inside her apartment. She sat down on the couch, deep in thought. "That was so weird," she murmured to herself.

"Yeah, that was awfully strange of Chad to run out like that. He never leaves anything anywhere," said Mrs. Monroe.

"I'll just give it to him in the morning. I'm going to bed," said Sonny.

Sonny walked toward Chad's dressing room to go and give him his leather jacket back. She stopped in front of his dressing room, but there was nothing except a door that didn't have the huge letters reading "CDC" which was strange because the day before that was Chad's dressing room. She had been to it numerous times.

"Where's Chad's dressing room?" Sonny mused. She continued done the hall until she saw the janitor's closet and it had a piece of loose leaf paper that read "Chad Dylan Cooper's Dressing Room." It was obvious to Sonny that was Chad's handwriting, because like any boy's it was messy. But why would Chad's dressing room be a closet? He was a boy who had, like, everything. He had a private bathroom that nobody was allowed in. Sonny once tried to go in there and Chad found out then gave her a long speech about how no one is allowed in there. If it was pre-dating Sonny, Chad would have probably yelled at her for five minutes straight, but now that they're dating he gave long speeches instead of screaming.

Sonny cautiously opened the door to find a blow up mattress deflated. What. The. Heck! Was it true? Was Chad really sleeping in a Janitor's closet? She went to find his bathroom only to see that it was locked up so that nobody was to be let it. Chad surely didn't do this, right? There was a big burley security guard standing in front of the bathroom.

"What happened to Chad's private bathroom?" Sonny asked the guard.

"He can't pay for it anymore so it is locked up until he has the money to use it again," said the guard.

Sonny nodded her head slowly. So in other words, something is going on with Chad that he is completely and totally broke.

She walked back to So Random when she heard Chad swear. "Damn it," Chad cursed. There was a pause and then a loud screech. Sonny ran to the nearest window to see Chad standing half naked spraying himself with a hose. Most girls would love to stare at Chad while he was half naked, but Sonny was frozen for another reason. Chad is broke enough that he doesn't have a home, bathroom, or shower. After Sonny got control of her body again she ran away. She had to help Chad, because that is what a girlfriend should do. But Chad would never allow it. When they went of dates he wouldn't let her pay. He practically wouldn't let her do anything. He would open doors for her, after they started dating he was a different Chad. Sure, he still had those cocky moments that she couldn't stand. But still he was trying. Sonny continued to walk to So Random prop house to tell her cast.

"Tawni, Nico, Grady, and Zora, come out here now!" yelled Sonny.

"Yeah?" asked Nico, The rest of the proceeded group to surround Sonny.

"Something is going on with Chad," Sonny whispered. "He doesn't have a dressing room, he can't use is private bathroom. I think we need to help him."

"What?" the cast asked.

"Chad doesn't have a dressing room?" asked Tawni.

"Yes. I think we need to help him," said Sonny.

"Just because you're dating him doesn't mean we have to help him," said Nico.

"But, guys—" Sonny got cut of by Zora.

"But, nothing. He never helps us, so we shouldn't help him," said Zora.

"Come on, guys. For me?" asked Sonny.

"Fine," they all agreed.

"Okay!"

Sonny ran outside the prop house to call Chad. She waited and waited as it rang and rang. When she was about to hang up she heard Chad's voice. "Hey, Sonny, what's up?" he asked tiredly. Sonny blinked a few times. Usually Chad answered the phone in some weird way by saying something like, Yo, Sonny, what's the dilly? or Let me here you say he-ey! or anything on those lines. This answer was so bland and cliché, defiantly not Chad style.

"Uh...oh, yeah, Chad, um, we're having a meeting at the prop house and wondering if you care to join?" Sonny asked, trying to sound casual.

"You know what? I'm extremely busy at the Falls, so if you could excuse me from your meeting it would be great."

"No!" she protested quickly. "It's mandatory. So you have to come, you don't have a choice."

"I know what 'mandatory' means. I'm not a dumb blond, you know."

"Yeah, I figured. But everyone needs a reminder."

"Yeah, I guess so..." Chad mumbled. Sonny thought she was going to here some smarmy retort. This sent off a red flag.

"Chad, are you alright?"

He hesitated. "Yeah...I'm fine."

"Well, see you in a few," said Sonny and hung up. She sat down on the couch in the prop house. Something was the matter with Chad and he wouldn't tell her at all. After a good twenty minutes, Chad came in the room, his hair was soaking wet, his clothes were ruffled, and he didn't shave have his face. The So Random cast gasped. They have never seen Chad look this...sloppy...

"What's so funny?" Chad asked, as he walked into the prop house. Sonny noted that he didn't walk in all confident either. He looked tired and slouched over.

"Nothing," Sonny said in her lying voice.

"Sonny, stop the act. I can read you like a map, and that is your lying voice," said Chad.

"Alright, you got me. But we want to know what's the matter?" she asked. Chad sat down and sighed.

"Nothing," Chad said quickly.

"Chad," said Sonny.

"Sonny," he replied.

"Chad, please tell me, I can help," she pleaded.

"Fine, I'll tell you."

"Fine!"

"Good."

"Good."

"Fine."

"Fine, here's the story, and I'm not repeating this story so listen up. My mom said that I was nineteen and I should get my own house, so I was kicked out two nights ago. And yesterday my director told me that I would have to pay for my dressing room and my bathroom but I don't have the money for either of those things so I've been living/sleep in the janitor's closest, taking a shower with the hose out back, shaving in the one person bathroom, and washing my hair in the utility sink in the kitchen. Happy?" he asked. Everyone stared at him. It looked like even the high and mighty, have their down falls.

"I'm so sorry, Chad," Sonny said sincerely. "I would let you sleep on my couch, but because of the whole dating thing we have on, my mom wouldn't let you."

"You can stay at my house. I have a bunk-bed and a trundle bed," Nico offered. Chad looked at them in disgust. There was no way that he was sleeping at a Randoms' house.

"The next person who offers me charity or sympathy will be mentioned by name—pause for dramatic affect—in my suicide note," said Chad, texting somebody.

"Whatever, Chad, if you ever need help just call me," Sonny said, "or one of us."

"Except me," said Tawni.

"Sonny, right now, you're at the top of my suicide note list," said Chad. "I have to go film. Bye, sweetheart," he said to Sonny and kissed the top of her head. The So Random cast watched him leave.

"Whatever," Nico said, "his loss. He's missing out on the chance to play Hero Rising with us." Nico was referring to Grady and himself.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he comes running to us to take him in," said Sonny. "So Nico and Grady, would you let him sleep with you, if he wants?"

"Fine," they agreed at the same time.

"Thanks," said Sonny.

Chad walked up to the counter to get his lunch. He found out that he would have to pay to get his usual steak and lobster. But he didn't have the money, so that meant no steak or lobster.

"Hey, Brenda," he said, "what's on the menu for free?"

"I don't know what it is. We buy it in bulk and just heat it up," she replied.

Chad gagged. "Just give me one of everything."

Chad didn't sit with his co-stars. They suddenly thought that Chad is eating like a regular person; he doesn't deserve to sit with them. But it was their loss, right? They would be loosing out on Chad Dylan Cooper and all his glory and what great stuff he used to own. Keyword: used. He looked at the food. Now he knew why Sonny hated this food. He couldn't even identify one thing on his plate. He groaned and threw the food in the garbage. He would rather eat nothing then that, whatever that is. He decided to go to his "dressing room" and lie down. He closed his eyes and tried to ignore the hunger in his stomach, but had no lucky. He was in pain, both mentally and physically. He lost everything in two days! This mattress wasn't conformable. He did always have Nico and Grady's house. But he didn't want to go live with them. They were immature. But it was either living with morons or living in here. He probably could live here much longer. He thought back to that old episode of the old show...what was it called? Oh yeah, The Sweet Life of Zach and Cody. Yep, the one kid hated his twin brother because he was messy and he lived in the closet but got kicked out. If you're Chad Dylan Cooper you don't get kicked out. So his only option was to live with those knuckle heads. That was it. He didn't have much filming left to do. So all he had to do was film, then clean up, and finally ask to live with...them....

It was the end of the day and Chad was ready to leave to Nico and Grady's house. This had to be the hardest thing he ever had to do. He never asked, well, begged to live at somebody's house until he found an apartment or something like that. Every minute he got more and more nervous. Would they let him stay? Would he have to live on the streets or in his car? Before he knew it he was at their house. It wasn't as big as his parents' house. It was just your regular house, Even though it still had its charm. He walked up to the front door and knocked. After a few seconds Nico appeared.

"Please let me sleep with you," Chad begged. "I need some where to stay. Please just let me sleep on something semi conformable."

Nico nodded slowly. "Sure," said Nico, ushering Chad in the house.

Chad looked around the house cautiously. "So this is where you live?" asked Chad.

"Yep," Nico said, "my room is right this way."

Chad continued to follow Nico into his bedroom. Nico and Grady's bedroom had to be the biggest room in the house. It had a bunk-bed and a trundle bed, just like Nico said earlier.

"Where do you want to sleep?" said Nico.

"Whatever bed you're not sleeping in," Chad replied coldly.

"I guess it's the trundle bed."

Chad placed his pillow on the bed and sat down. It was comfy compared to the air mattress he was sleeping on. But not as good as his old bed at his old home. He missed it. He missed his family. Even though his mother kicked him out, he still loved her.

"Hey," Nico said, breaking Chad out of his thoughts. "Do you want to play with us?"

"Play what?" asked Chad.

"Hero Rising," said Grady.

"No," said Chad. "I'm not a nerd."

"Whatever," said Grady.

Nico and Grady continued to play the game. Chad looked at it wondering what it was about. To his surprise, it looked pretty cool. But Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't play immature games like that. Though, there is always that one time you can make an exception.

"Hey, guys," Chad spoke up. "Do you mind if I play?"

"Sure," said Nico, handing Chad a controller.

After that Chad soon realized that he was addicted to this game.

So how was it? Review and let me know if I should continue or not. Or I can do it this way.

Tik Tok: I love it, continue.

Blah, Blah, Blah: It's alright. Continue if you want.

Take it off: Ugh, I hate this so, so much. (Please tell me why you hated it.)
