Musical prodigy, i like how that sounds
[Third person POV, Year 2001, Third loop, January 1th, Day time]
Finding himself suddenly back in his old bed with rain pouring outside the window, Adrian stood up with a sad face and looked at the paper on the table where he first made the Anti-Terror plan.
"I'll need to go and find Bartholomew Chungus Gingersnap The Great again. Not only that, but I need to figure out how to not get attacked—or at least make it so that Hydra decides to attack me after securing that 9/11 never happens, in which case I would at least be able to Save and Load the timeline with more freedom... I'll have to think of this for a while."
Opening the door of his room, he walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, took out a chocolate bar, and took a bite while glancing at the door to his parents' room.
'Now that I think about it... how did Bucky make it so that I heard my mom's voice through the door? Mhmmm... he probably was already stalking me for some time. My mom used to go for groceries every Saturday and she said those exact words the last time I opened the door for her. He recorded her voice and used it.'
With a satisfied face from the sugar and the logic of his own reasoning, he put the rest of the chocolate bar back in the fridge and walked to his parents' room.
"First wake them up… then try to make some money... again."
And just like that, our protagonist repeated every single action that he did before on this same day with almost mechanical precision. However, this time something changed, as our protagonist did not hide the chocolate bar very well—his mother found it and asked just after his father talked about cars.
"Now that I remember, I saw that you bit the chocolate bar, young lad. What did I tell you about eating candy before breakfast?!"
Wincing at his mother's scream and with a sudden realization, Adrian looked at his father for help while thinking:
'Crap crap crap crap, I fucked up! This didn't happen in the past two loops! Now things will somewhat change... God damnit.'
Meanwhile, the father looked away from our protagonist as if this was none of his business.
'Traitor! You also do the same sometimes!'
"Sorry, Mom..."
And just like that, part of breakfast was spent with Adrian's mother nagging her son. However, during this, Laura said something that helped Adrian—even if she didn't know it.
"I just hope that if you really win money by gambling, you don't turn like that playboy Stark."
"Ah, the Merchant of Death. Our son would not turn like that guy, Laura, don't overreact."
Instantly, Adrian's face lit up as if he experienced an epiphany—which he had—and he instantly loaded his save file again.

"Now I know how to save my ass! I need to find a way to make myself a public figure. This way I can reasonably have a way to always be in the public eye so that Hydra has fewer chances to make a move on me like they did with Tony Stark's parents, Howard and Maria. Not because I'm more influential than them, but because having people constantly looking at me also gives me a way to get closer to Stark... Sadly, this means that my peaceful life would be completely disrupted this timeline. The only way I can reasonably be popular to the public eye would be music, as my parents wouldn't find it suspicious."
So, with a new plan in mind, our protagonist repeated the same day again, this time hiding his chocolate bar properly so that everything would develop just like in the second timeline.
And with that, time passed again. After an entire week of acting like in the second loop, our protagonist was finally met with the lottery and betting results.
"Easy money. Now with that aside, I'll need to start buying some instruments again... that and a camera. After all, it's more appealing if not only is the music made, but I record every part of the process. A musical prodigy reputation would make me more famous to the public... I just hope the music industry won't try to screw me over... Who am I kidding, of course they will."
Giving a sigh, Adrian walked to the telephone in the house and dialed his mother's phone number. After a few seconds, someone answered the call.
"Alo?" (Spanish way of answering phone calls)
"Hi Mom, I just saw the results on the TV and we won the lottery."
Quickly and with almost practiced reflexes, our protagonist pulled the phone away from his ear, and just then, a scream was heard the next second.
"¡¿QUE QUÉ?! ¿¡ENSERIO GANASTE LA LOTERÍA?!"
T/N: WAIT WHAT?! DID YOU REALLY WIN THE LOTTERY?!
"Remember you're outside mom and yes, I won the lottery. So I need you to pick me up and go to the attorney we talked about. Since the betting was in Dad's name, you'll have to call him, and then with the attorney we'll let them claim our prize."
Putting the phone close to his ear again, Adrian kept talking and reassuring his mom, who was already on her way to pick him up. After some time, Adrian's mom hung up.
"Welp, I'll need to also claim the sports betting prizes, but now that I have the money... it's time for reckless spending, hehehe."
And just like that, more time passed, with events like meeting up with an attorney to claim the prizes and convincing his parents to buy a lot of things like instruments and even another house—just like in the second loop. Being honest, it wasn't hard at all for him. After all, the stunt with the lottery made it so they trusted him more with his choices and financial decisions. Of course, Adrian never forgot about his Anti-Terror Plan, always using spare time to do what he did in the second loop.
With that, we come to the day of the 29th of the month, where our protagonist finds himself surrounded by instruments all over again in that same studio of the second loop, with Bartholomew Chungus Gingersnap The Great in his hand.
"Now now, Bartholomew Chungus Gingersnap The Great, this will be the day where I'll make a little bit of tomfoolery and start making hit after hit. So please don't bite me or I'll put you in the cage again."

Author Note: If you have a song that was made after 2001 and was a hit (It has to be male made, or if it's made by a woman then it should be able to be sung by a man without being weird or being nonsense) please reply this or put a comment with the song name, artist and date of making (Not releasing, as maybe it was in the making or made long time before released)
If it fits with the 2000's vibe even better
