A/N: Thank you so much for all the people who reviewed, favorite-d, alerted, my stories. It's overwhelming, but nice. I actually have done this chapter two days ago but I got lazy in typing. SORRY. So here is the chapter 2, I actually have chapter 3 written but not typed yet. Once my reviews for this stories double, I will put up the next chapter.

Disclaimer: Any publicly recognizable establishments, shows, and/or people are not mine. However, the plot is.

When Chad is happy, so is everyone else.

ENJOY!

After his Mackenzie Falls rehearsal, Chad went to the cafeteria to either a.) Annoy someone or b.) Charm the lunch lady for an awesome lunch.

He picked the latter. Thinking that the brunette to be visiting him after one week will not probably be happy to hear that he became a jerk-which he is…at times;

Once he got to his destination, Chad spotted the usual table of the Randoms, but he wasn't in the mood to argue, Rachel still in mind.

He casually strode to the ick-buffet, when he passed the Randoms' table, he stopped and said,

"Wow, Nico, that fedora is awesome, where'd you got it?" Nico stared at Chad like he grew an extra limb.

Then Chad turned to Grady,

"Grady, my man, is that a new shirt? That color suits you well!" Grady looked at Nico, the other boy shrugged.

"Tawni, you're too cute for words, you know that don't you?" Tawni beamed at Chad.

The blond Falls' lead pulled a chair from the other table and sat next to Sonny, draped an arm around her shoulders and said,

"Sonny, Sonny, Sonny, is that the new make-up you said you would try? It's nice, makes your eyes pop," he even pinched Sonny's cheek. The brunette would've blushed if 'Surprised' was not number one in her emotional list at the moment.

Chad stood up,

"Brenda!" the usually surly lunch lady grinned at Chad. Favoritism, Grady thought.

"Would you give this beautiful and amazing people some sumptuous lunch? The Falls' are going to eat some pizza today anyway," The latter part was obviously a lie, but knowing Brenda, Chad knew she would rather feed the dogs the lobsters than to give it to the So Random cast. Her hatred to that show runs that deep. Yes.

"Oh, anything for you Mackenzie," the lunch lady pinched Chad's cheeks, the blonde boy laughed awkwardly.

Chad phoned for pizza.

"Ooh, where's Zora anyway? I picked up a medieval contraption thing for her, but it's in my dressing room. And before you ask, the one who sold me that said it was for mixing juice. So technically it's a spoon, but with crazy wires and whatnots," he laughed heartily.

"Who are you and what have you done to Chad Dylan Cooper?" Nico, Grady and Sonny said all together. Tawni was too busy worshipping her reflection with a spoon.

"What are you talking about guys? I'm Chad, nice, awesome and definitely hot Chad,"

"Well at least he still is conceited Chad, so maybe he is Chad," said Sonny.

The two boys however were already acting all friends with CDC, while happily chomping on their steaks.

Wow, if a compliment would turn them into that, I should've given them tons, Sonny thought.

Tawni then whispered to Sonny,

"He's probably trying to befriend everyone before Rachel-not-famous-and-never-will-be come here,"

"Rachel who what?" was Sonny's reply.

"His friend, and don't give me that look Monroe, he's not trying to make you jealous-which you are-but Rachel's been Rachel long before you've been a Random."

Good, now Tawni's a mind-reader too, I think I'm in Tawni Town, Sonny thought.

"I'm not saying he's trying to make me jealous, and I'm not jealous!!!" Sonny shrieked,

"Your lips say you aren't but your eyes say you are," was the blonde's reply.

Sonny wasn't given a chance to answer because Chad made his exit noted, as usual.

"So Randoms, hey I just said your show's name without repulsion, that's an improvement right?"

Nico and Grady said their 'yeahs'.

"You said 'So Randoms' not 'So Random' Chad, that's not an improvement," Sonny huffed crossing her arms in the process and raising her brow a little, hoping for an argument with Chad. Okay, I miss the jerk Chad, Sonny thought bitterly.

"I guess you're right Sonny, goodbye for now. Portlyn just texted, the pizza arrived" The others said their goodbyes, including Tawni, who temporarily stopped worshipping herself with the spoon.

Nico and Grady shot Sonny an icy glare.

"What? What'd I do?" She asked. She was responded but a mere eye roll.

Moments later, Chad was back to his dressing room. He was looking through his rack of Mackenzie Falls' costumes, when his phone rang; he picked it up and put it on speaker phone.

"Hello, the Chad is speaking,"

"Oh hey Chaddy, what are contemplating at the moment?" Rachel's voice chimed through the other end.

"Thinking if plaids go well with polka dots, it doesn't, right?" He heard a chuckle. But cursing inwardly whoever paired the horrid red plaids with the green polka dots.

"Yes Chad, I believe that would be horrendous," Rachel said, ignoring the pain from her ankle.

"Why aren't you in Glee practice anyway, Rach?"

"I was, but then we were doing this routine like a practice for Regionals, I did a wrong turn and I was failed to be caught by anyone so yeah, now I have a sprained ankle," Rachel said, biting her lip while waiting for her best friend's response.

"WHAT?!" he walked closer to his phone.

"Okay, no need to go drama queen on me, that was actually the whole point of this call, in one week I'm not sure my ankle would be completely healed but I could be walking normal by then. And you might go overprotective mother on me like now, so I thought might as well tell you now and save me from your unnecessary kindness and care like as if my injury was your fault,"

"Up until now, Rach, I still wonder how you do that," said he, smiling.

"Do what?"

"Well, first off, know me too well, and second, how CAN YOU SAY ALL THAT IN ONE BREATH?!"

"I don't know Chaddy, I don't know," said she.

Well of course she does, first they basically know each other inside out, and second, she has pretty strong lungs because of all those training she had. But she just didn't want to seem like a know-it-all to Chad even though she knows that he knows that she knows the answer but just wouldn't tell him,

"Hey Chad, I got to go now, Daddy's here to pick me up,"

"Is that so? Tell him I said hi, bye Rach, I love you," then he hung up.

He knew Rachel would be okay, it's not her first sprained ankle.

He was there on her first sprained ankle on that one afternoon during a ballet recital, they were both six and he asked his mother if they could watch her perform. They just met that morning at the playground. Her performance was amazing until she did her pirouette wrongly, despite that, Rachel finished her performance. She was headstrong even back then but the moment she left the stage, she broke down on one corner, that's when Chad went to her.

That night, Rachel had her first cone of ice cream. Strawberry, he remembers quite clearly. He laughed so hard when Rachel said she never ate anything dairy before, something about her vocal chords getting ruined.

And that night too, Chad Dylan Cooper landed his first ice cream commercial in which Rachel refused to be in, stating, "Show Business will ruin my focus on going to Broadway,"

That night too, they became best friends.

He also knew he missed her to death.

Eight years after that night, Rachel's fathers thought it would be better if they left for Lima, Ohio, which was where Rachel's biological mother lives.

And for the second time in her life, Rachel ate ice cream. Chad was already famous that time and Rachel was ecstatic he even wanted to hang out with her.

And even more surprising, to be her best friend.

And even more surprising than that, they shared each other's first kiss that night.

What he didn't know though, was that Sonny was behind his dressing room door, apology practiced in front of a mirror.

…and oh that her heart was slowly breaking in two.

A/N:
Did you enjoy this? I hope you did. I appreciate a review, a favorite, or an alert. Makes me a typing monster.

The next chapter will focus on the New Directions arriving at HOLLYWOOD! And pretty much, more flashbacks to make you readers more visual on Rachel and Chad's friendship.

I'm also thinking of making Kurt and Tawni fight? CAN YOu IMAGINE HOW MUCH DRAMA THAT WILL BE?! OMG. Nice idea, nice.

Oh and more Puck, and more drama. Maybe even baby drama.

HAHAHAHA.

-staaars.
