Gasp, i updated.
Well, guess what, I just re-read "Chad with a Sister" and really got in the mood to write more of this story. :)
Ps., I asked if anyone wanted to be a hated character? Well, I took "Brittany Kenford" from "Stand Up For Me" (one of my one-shots) instead. I don't want anyone to be that hated. xD.
Alright, so, this story may be getting updated more often cause' I'm in the mood to go write one hundred chapters. xD
I don't own SWAC, or Upside Down by Jack Johnson (Listen to it, it's good. And in this chapter (cause Chelsea's listening to it) it just works, y'know?)
This chapter is marvelling in the beauty of Chad with a Sister, and the older chapters of You'd Be Surprised. It can refresh your memory a bit, and bring a good memory or two to the characters and us.
Thank you.
And, P.P.S, though the story is often in Chelsea's POV, this really really gives you an insight on what she thinks about everyone and junk.
:D
And P.P.P.S, if you're planning on skipping this chapter because it's so long and "boring" (cause it's memories of the story) that's ont especially a good idea.
There's a few memories in here that AREN'T from the stories, too. They're like Chad and Chelsea's past, too.
Chelsea's POV
Thinking.
I was doing a lot of it lately.
I had been thinking about the past few months of my life (trust me, they were anything but normal.) I didn't think it was possible for life, and people, to change that much. But hey, look at that. My life had taken so many twists and turns I was sure I was on a rollarcoaster.
I walked up the stairs to my and Chad's section of the house. I put "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson on my iPod and walked into my room, then into my closet. First, I looked at one of my favorite outfits.
A black shirt with a pink vest over it, black jeans, and white boots, along with a matching pink purse.
"Everyone, this is my," Chad winked at Sonny, "sister."
"Why'd you introduce me like I was your girlfriend for a second there?" Chelsea hissed at him.
"Heh.." was all he could say as he flashed a smile at her. Chelsea jerked her arm back. "Ow, what was that for?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, did my bag just hit you in the side?"
I laughed at the old memories, putting the outfit back. Then, I pulled out my pink pajamas.
"Can we talk?" I asked.
"What's there to talk about?" Chad asked.
"Well...I want to talk about your fight with Sonny."
"You saw that?"
I nodded. "Is that why you're so upset right now?"
He sighed. "Yes."
"Were you jealous?"
"I wasn't jealous, no!"
"I know your lieing."
That was the time I had gotten Chad to admit he liked Sonny. I smiled at that memory, too. I knew he had liked her all along. It was so obvious. And now look at them. They're in love!
I was in love, too.
Actually, to think about it, I still am. No matter how much I may deny it to everyone, I'm still in love with David.
I just can't help it.
Being "just friends" isn't any good for me, no.
I put the pajamas back and looked through the rest of my pajamas, until I found what I was looking for.
A leopard print pajama top, and matching shorts.
I changed into my pajamas along with everyone else. As Sonny sat down, being the last to change, Chad spoke up.
"So, who's enjoying having the greatest actor of our generation at this party?"
I looked around. "I don't see Zac Efron." That set him off. He got out of his chair and came over to me on my spot on the couch. He moved closer and closer to me, causing me to move backward. We continued this until I flipped over the couch from moving back so far.
"Serves you right." Chad said.
I shook my head at the memory. That was the start of when Chad started to stand up to me, instead of doing everything I said. I kind of liked it that way, it made things more interesting; kept me on the edge of my seat.
I laughed.
I pulled out my pink duffel bag with "CDC" on it in curly print. Ah, that brought back a funny memory, too.
"G, do you smell that?" Nico asked, nudging his friend. "Chocolate." they said in unison, grinning.
"What?" Sonny asked. "I don't have any chocolate around here."
"Oh!" I exclaimed, going to my bag. I pulled out a glass pan with plastic wrap over the top of it.
"Cake?" Chad asked. "How did you fit a cake with all the stuff you crammed in that bag? And besides, you were asleep before me last night, and you didn't have time to bake a cake this morning...when did you make that? I didn't see any cake lieing around in our house anywhere."
"That's my secret." I grinned. "Besides, if I told you, I'd have to kill you. So, who wants cake?"
"She'd...kill me...over cake?" Chad muttered.
I laughed. He still doesn't know how I made that cake. No one ever will. Mwhhahahaha...
I left my closet and walked out into the hall and into my and Chad's shared closet. (I still had Jack Johnson - Upside Down on a constant loop. It fit with the moment.)
I pulled out a brown dress with pink polka dots on it, which had a matching pink hairband with it.
"Okay!" Tawni exclaimed. Everyone dancing and looked at her. "Now we have a special musical performance for you!"
Everyone's attention turned to the middle of the crowd as arguing was heard. Zora was pushing Sonny up to the front of the stage. Nico and Grady were pushing Chad in the same direction.
"Now, give it up for Chelsea Dawn Cooper who can surprisingly...sing!" everyone clapped and cheered for me as I walked up to the stage. A spotlight hit me.
"Alright, I'd like to dedicate this song to those to people in front of the stage who are...well, stupid!" the crowd laughed. "Okay, maybe not stupid. Just blind." Sonny and Chad's faces twisted into confusion.
"Did you know your sister could sing?" I heard Sonny whisper to Chad.
"Nope."
I sang my original - love - song to them, and they went from confused, to embarrased, and then a pinch of happiness.
"Don't you to realize it?" I asked after I finished, standing next to Tawni. "What do you call that..." I snapped my fingers.
"Being perfect for eachother?" Tawni asked, like she had just come up with the idea, but we had it planned.
"Yup, that's it!"
I grinned widely at the memory. That was the beginning of Channy.
"P-perfect for eachother?" Chad stuttered.
"We're not perfect for eachother!" Sonny exclaimed.
"Didn't you guys listen to the lyrics of that song at all?" Tawni asked.
"You really think we're perfect for eachother?" Sonny asked.
"I wrote that whole song just for you guys. Yes!"
"Now," Tawni said, "Kiss her before we slap you two silly!"
That made me think of mine and Tawni's plan. That was one good Channy-making plan.
To bad it didn't...excactly work. But they ended up together in the end; that's what mattered.
I went over to Chad's side of our closet and grabbed one of his suits, and grabbed a red sleevless dress with silver sequins out from my side. I smiled.
After a while of talking, the limo pulled up to a fancy restaurant that also had a dance floor. We got out. A few pictures and autographs later, we were at the front door. Chad opened the door at let everyone walk inside. I was last, so we went in at the same time.
"Are you feeling alright? I swear you just did something kind... and gentalmen-ish." I whispered.
"Sonny has changed me. A lot." He whispered back.
As we walked in I spotted the dance floor.
"Let's go dance!" I exclaimed, dragging Grady over to it.
After a while, Chad came over to us.
"Mind if I cut in?" he asked. Grady nodded.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"Can't I dance with my sister?"
"I guess...but you've never done it before."
That was when me and Grady were still in a relationship. Chad had warned me about Chastity liking Grady, but I didn't mind. Chastity is/was a sweet girl.
And later that night, me and Chad had started our new... 'game.'
"How'd it happen?" Chad asked.
"How'd what happen?"
"How'd we fall for randoms?"
I smiled. "You'd Be Surprised."
I went back into my closet and picked out a blue tanktop and blue jeans. (I never mentiond her clothes in this part during the story, but eh.)
Sonny went into the prop house and saw a stage set up, along with chairs.
"What's this?" she asked.
"It was Chelsea's idea. We're having a karaoke night!" Tawni exclaimed.
"Everyday's a party with you, huh?" Sonny laughed, looking at Chelsea.
"Totally!" Chelsea exclaimed, doing a small dance. The three girls laughed.
That was when we had sang "All In This Together".
"Come on, you guys know this song!" Sonny cheered. Chad gasped as the music began to play.
"Sonny, how could you!" he whined.
"I know you hate Zac Efron, but...get over it."
Me, Tawni, and Sonny had all sang a song together too. I figured when I met them I'd end up becoming friends with them. Well, after a while. At first I wasn't nuts about them. But something about them changed me. For the better, definitly.
"Cause we're one, and the same."
"How many people become friends with their enemies?" I whispered to Chad.
"You'd be surprised," he responded, winking.
I pulled out a purple plaid shirt, black vest, and black jeans. That was the first time I had really dressed not so, you know, sparkly and fancy. I was more down-to-earth, or whatever.
Chad walked in while we were dancing to the song. He looked at me weird.
"You finished with Mackenzie Falls. What are you doing here?" Chad asked me.
"I can't visit my favorite cast?" I asked, walking towards the door and standing in front of him.
He put his hand up to his heart and preteneded to be shocked and hurt.
"I thought Mackenzie Falls was your favorite cast! What kind of sister are you?" He asked.
I laughed and he soon joined me.
"I'm kidding, of course. This has kind of become my favorite cast too." He mumbled the last part. But, they still heard him.
"Aww, Chad!" Sonny said. She ran over and hugged him. She put her arm on his shoulder and stuck the other one out.
"Group hug!" She called out. We all groaned but did anyway. And I knew. These people were true friends.
I then pulled out a purple tube-top, black shorts, and bloxing gloves. They were from a boxing class I had took.
Mwhahaha.
"I don't care if he's my brother." I said. "You guys better call the police, because there's about to be a case of murder!" I shouted. I tucked and rolled to the door.
"Since when could you do that?" Tawni asked, looking at me.
"I've taken up gymnastics... and boxing." I said the last part with a devilish grin. "Speaking of boxing, I've got some training to do." I said, running out the door.
I ran into Chad's dressing room, full of fury.
"How?" I yelled at him.
"Chelsea! Thank goodness you're here. Sonny must of told you what happened! It didn't happen like you think-" I stopped him by yelling again.
"HOW!" I screamed.
"Chels, let me explain! I was practicing a scene with Portlyn. We were going over the Mack Falls script and the last part said we had to kiss! I would never do that to Sonny!" He cried.
"Explain that to the girl crying her heart out in her dressing room!" I yelled.
I put the boxing outfit back in the box it was in, and got out a dress I had worn during one of my movies that I had shot, "Silent Wind."
It reminded me of the time Sonny thought that me and David had kissed.
David...
The pictures taken of me and David by the stream showed up. Then, another one.
Me and David.. kissing?
"I never kissed him!" I screeched, standing up and pacing. Chad leaned forward from his previous spot in the corner of the couch where I pushed him. He pointed to a few spots on the screen.
"That's clearly manipulated. It looks really fake." he said. "That's you from that movie you shot during the kissing scene." Chad pointed to my picture. Then he moved his hand towards David. "And that's David during that talk-show we did earlier."
I walked back over by the TV and looked at it closer.
"You're right." I said.
Then someone burst through the glass doors of our house. Sonny.
"You kissed my brother?" she asked, staring at me.
"No! It's fake!" I said. I pointed towards the screen repeating what Chad said.
"You're right! Gosh, the paparazzi stop at nothing." she said. "And poor David! He's in Hollywood for 3 days and already all of this happens?"
I sighed.
I went to the back of my closet where I kept all kinds of random things.
I pulled out my favored tan guitar, with pink flowers on it.
I stopped playing and smiled. That's when David came in the room.
"Hey." he said.
"Oh, hi." I said, waving. I looked down at my guitar.
"You know you have a really good voice." he said smiling as he walked towards me.
"You heard that?" I asked, my face getting red.
"Yeah. And you don't have to be embarrassed." he said.
"I wrote that song." I said.
"You did?" he asked.
I nodded. "I wrote it for someone I recently met." I said. I didn't tell him I wrote it for him, but he probably got the hint. I noticed disappointment in his eyes.
"Oh." he said. "They're lucky."
He didn't get the hint. He thought it was for someone else. I decided to play along. I put my guitar away and walked towards him.
"Yeah. I like him a lot." I said. He looked even more hurt.
"What's he like?" he asked. He's jealous. That's so cute!
"He's really cute. He's got dark hair, and he's tall." I said.
"I see. I have to go." He turned around and walked towards the door. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Wait." I said. He looked at me.
"What?" he asked.
"You don't know who i'm talking about?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"You know him." I said. He looked confused.
"Who do I know that you know to.. besides your brother, Nico, Grady..." he looked even more confused. "You like Nico?" he asked.
"No. Gah, you're so stupid!" I said jokingly, sitting down on the couch.
"Why am I stupid? Who is it you like?" he asked, walking by me again.
I stood up.
"It's you." I said. He smiled.
"You... you like me?" he asked.
"Yup. I know this will sound cheesy, but i've liked you since I first looked into your eyes at the park."
"I've actually liked you ever since I saw one of your movies. Meeting you just added on to that." he said.
I couldn't help but blush at that.
"Well then I suppose I should do this." David said. He held my hand.
The thought of David brought a tear to my eye.
God, how I missed him.
Sure, we were friends, but like I said earlier, that just wasn't enough.
I went back into the closet me and Chad shared and pulled out a white and brown dress. It was from when we went to the Ritz restaraunt. My first date with David.
Gosh, how I wished my thoughts would stop making their way over to him.
Zora and Stella sat at the ends of the table. I sat in the chair next to her, David across from me. Sonny was next to me, Chad across from her. Tawni was next to Sonny, and Chastity was next to Tawni. Of course Nico across from Tawni and Grady was across from Chastity.
"You know..this is kind of our first date..even if there are other people here." David said.
"I guess so." I blushed.
I went back into my closet (sheesh, i was doing to much movement!) and pulled out a red Christmas outfit.
Chelsea Dawn Cooper had never looked more festive.
Ever.
Her red long-sleeved dress had white (fake) fur lining the edges. On the top of her dress were two small bells, sitting on top of (also fake) holly leaves. To go with it, she was wearing matching red and white boots, and a santa hat.
She smiled proudly at her outfit in the mirror.
"Chelsea, the guest are going to be arriving so..." Chad's sentence trailed off as he examined his sister. "What's with your outfit?"
"It's Christmas. I can't wear it?" Chelsea asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I suppose...but it's unlike you to wear something...y'know, festive."
"Since when?"
Chad leaned on the doorframe of Chelsea's door, giving her an are-you-serious? look. "Chels, last Halloween you wore a shirt that said 'costume' on it."
I laughed. Chad was right. I was to lazy to actually put a costume on, so I did that. I found the Halloween shirt and brought it out.
"Chelsea!" Chad yelled down to me. "We need to go to Aunt Cookie's for her halloween par...why aren't you wearing a costume?" He, himself, was wearing a pirate costume.
"Nerd." I snickered at said costume. "Anyway, I'm to lazy. And this shirt works just fine."
"A shirt that says costume on it. Alright, if you say so. Now come on, we have to go to Aunt Cookie's.
I went back into our shared closet (seriously, to much walking) and pulled out the dress I wore to Mr. Condor's Christmas party.
That party gave me good memories, and bad ones.
It showed me what a good brother Chad was, for one.
I pulled my knees to my chest and cried. I heard rapid footsteps down the sidewalk, and somehow, I recognized the footsteps.
What? We're twins, we know when our other half is there.
"Chelsea!" Chad exclaimed, out of breath, running over to me. "What happened?" he leaned down on one knee next to me.
I sniffled. "Shouldn't you be with Sonny?"
"No, Chelsea. We're not talking about Sonny. What happened to you?"
Another tear fell down my face. "D-david." I muttered.
"What did he do? I'll kill him if he hurt you."
I would have laughed at how Chad was acting if I hadn't been so sad.
I wiped my eyes and sniffled again, attempting to talk. "S-some girl wanted to dance w-with him, so they left. After I sang my song, I went to go find h-him and..."
"And what?" Chad asked desperatly. "What happened?" he repeated for the third time.
"He was h-hugging her. I don't know why I reacted so weird, b-but after I thought about it for a while, I noticed there was a lipstick mark on his c-cheek...and i'm not wearing lipstick."
Chad looked down, thinking. "But this doesn't make sense. Why would he cheat on you? Are you sure you're not just imagining things?"
"No, Chad," I said, still crying. "It was real. And I know i'm probably overreacting, but I just..." I sighed. "Imagine if you saw Sonny hugging...Joe Jonas. And he had her lipstick on his face. Wouldn't you be upset?"
"Well of course," Chad said. "I love Sonny."
Another tear fell down my face as the wind blew through my hair. "Exactly."
Chad wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his chest, him not even seeming to care that I was ruining his suit.
"I'm sorry, Chels." he whispered.
"You know, you're a pretty good brother," I said, a small smile on my face.
"Of course I am. I'm Chad Dylan Cooper."
I laughed.
And another good memory.
I watched Chad and Sonny dance. Chad had a small smile on his face, his arms wrapped around Sonny's waist, and his eyes staring off into the distance.
He had never looked happier.
Well, his eyes were full of joy.
And then I came back to what was going on with me and David at the moment.
"David, like I said, yes, it is crazy. It's crazy for you to spend so much money on a necklace for me. It's crazy for just you and the randoms to change me into a completely different - but better - person. It's crazy for you to say you love me when we've only been together for..what, a month? It's crazy for you to be dating me at all." I held one of his hands. "But it's good that I like crazy." I smiled.
Using the hand that I held, David pulled me into a hug. Over his shoulder, I saw a girl with..ahem...to much make up looking at him.
Oh, heck no.
He's mine.
"David?"
"Mmmhm?" he asked, his head buried in my hair.
"I love you too." I said quietly.
He pulled back from the hug and stared at me with wide, happy eyes.
"Really?"
"Really." I whispered.
And then, just as Tawni was singing "Kiss me, tonight," again...
He kissed me.
But, it also gave me a bad memory.
David came over and sat next to me, sighing.
"Chelsea, I didn't cheat on you." he said. "I was comforting Diane, the girl you saw, because she was going through some rough stuff. I would neve cheat on you."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh."
We were silent for a few moments, until I spoke up, looking at him sadly.
"You know..maybe...maybe we rushed into saying...you know..those three words. It seems there might be some trust issues if I though you cheated on me."
David nodded, sighing again. "I think you're right. Maybe we should...break up?" (Insert aww from audience.)
I shrugged. "Maybe."
He stood up, helping me up too. David held his hand out.
"Friends?"
I smiled and grabbed his hand. "Friends."
I then put the dress back and went into my closet again, and pulled out the swimsuit I had wore yesterday.
"Oh, hey guys!" Portlyn exclaimed as she, Chastity, Trevor, and Skylar all walked through the Cooper's back gate.
"Chad, Chelsea! It's funny seeing you guys here. Guess its a small world, huh?" Skylar asked.
"This is our house!" Chad exclaimed.
"It's funny seeing you here!" Chelsea added.
Portlyn sighed. "Whatever. We're here because it's super hot outside - which would be considered weird to most of the country, considering it's December - and we don't have a pool. But, you guys do."
"Well, the more the merrier, right?" Sapphire grinned.
"That's the spirit!" Skylar exclaimed before jumping into the pool.
Everyone heard more voices outside the gate.
"Oh, who is it now?" Chelsea groaned.
"Hiya!" Zaira exclaimed as her, Mia, and Sawyer all leaned over the fence. Zora's eyes lit up at the sight of Sawyer.
"How do you even know where we live?"
Finally, I put the swimsuit back. And that's when an idea struck me. I ran back into my room, out of my closet, and picked up the sunglasses Chad had gotten me.
I put them on and admired myself in the mirror, sighing contently.
You know what? Those randoms changed my life so much. I can't begin to tell you how much I love them, and the falls cast, Chad, everyone.
I wouldn't swap my life for anyone else's in the world.
And you know what else?
I wouldn't change my friends and family for anyone else, either.
There you go. REALLY long, and if you don't like Davsea/don't care aobout Chelsea, then you probably didn't even bother reading it.
It made me smile, though. xD
