I'm back with a new story! This one will also be a multichapter story. This one is better than my other stories I think, although it is still the same fluffy auslly concept. But those types are the easiest to write. But like I said, I am working on a much longer story that will be a little different than what I normally write. But enough details about that let's focus on this one! Read and Review please!

AUSTIN POV:

I was at my house sitting around with nothing to do. I could go to the mall, I thought. I live right next to the Miami Beach Mall. I could literally walk out my back door, go around a few bushes, and I'm in the food court of the mall. I was usually there a lot because it was pretty much my backyard. I also liked this advantage because SonicBoom was in the mall complex which means it was easy to visit Ally whenever we wanted to meet up or work on a song. What most people don't know though, is that she lives there too. The entire upstairs is just the practice room and Ally and her dads bedroom. There is an employees only door downstairs at the corner that has a bathroom and a kitchen with some couches and a TV. The gang hangs out in there sometimes(thats what we call us, me ally trish and dez). But most of the time we just chill out in the practice room, or watch movies in Ally's room. Suddenly thinking of SonicBoom made me want to go there. I had nothing better to do, so I hopped out my window and made my way to the store. I know I could use the front door, but it wasn't as fun.

I got to the opening of the store and saw Ally sitting at the piano bench with Nelson. He was such an awkward little kid, but all of us loved him anyway.

"Hey Ally!...and Nelson!" I said.

"Hey Austin!" She said as her face lit up in a smile. Nelson just turned to look at me and waved.

"Alright Nelson, piano lesson over. I'll be right back with a note for your next lesson." and with that she quickly flitted up to the practice room. Nelson turned to look at me with his eyes squinted and his arms crossed over his chest.

"Listen, buddy. Keep your 'pretty boy' hands off my woman!" Nelson shouted sternly.

"What are you talking about Nelson?!" I asked, totally shocked.

"C'mon, is no secret that you like Ally. But she is my woman and you can't have her!" He said still angry.

I was still trying to make sense off this. First that Nelson had a crush on Ally, second, that he thought I did too. I remember both Trish and Dez mentioning something to me about our 'just friends' relationship. But I don't like Ally like that. Do I? Well so far, that's three people that have noticed it, one of them being an eight year old. Just as I was trying to make sense of Nelson's tantrum and my thoughts, Ally was coming back down the stairs with a slip of paper for Nelson.

"Here you go buddy." She said handing him the slip.

"Thank you Ally" he said fluttering his eyes. I could hardly contain the laughter inside me. After Nelson accepted the note and left, I hopped up and sat on the counter. I usually did this. I don't know why, I guess it just made a good seat.

"So what brings you here?" Asked Ally.

"I don't know. I was just bored and I wanted something fun to do, so I thought of you." I said sarcastically.

"You needed fun, and you thought of ME?" She said laughing, raising one eyebrow.

"Yeah, I'm pretty desperate. Trish was working and Dez is out of town with his family." I said still laughing.

"Well, what do you wanna do? The shop has been pretty dead today, so I could afford to close up for today." She explained.

"Well," I said thinking, "We could go get some lunch while we think it over" I suggested.

"Sounds great." She said smiling. For no more than three seconds we just sat there in silence looking at each other. It was awkward so I hopped down and turned the open sign to closed to break the silence. She got her keys and locked up the shop as we walked to the food court. We sat down at an empty table as we tried to figure out what to eat.

"Let's get a big plate of nachos to share. I'm not that hungry and nachos are a good snacky food." She said.

"Good idea" I said. And we ordered a jumbo plate of nachos. When the guy brought our nachos he offered a sale on candy at the candy store in the mall and handed us coupons. I looked at the coupons and had a great idea.

"I'll be right back." I said. I got up and walked over to the candy store and came back with a big bowl of M&Ms. I set them down on the table and smiled at Ally.

"What did you get those for?" She asked. I tossed one up in the air and caught it in my mouth.

"Your turn" I said.

"I can't catch one of those things in my mouth!" She said laughing.

"Oh yes you can. Or at least we're gonna find out." I said. And I tossed one through the air to her. She opened her mouth and caught it.

"Hey! I did it!" She said.

"Told ya!" I said. And before long we were laughing and tossing candy at each others mouths for the other to catch. But it got out of hand and we started having an M&M food fight. It was still fun so I didn't care. We were both laughing so hard that tears were nearly coming out of our eyes.

"Okay! Okay! Stop! I can't breathe!" Ally laughed. I slumped back down in the chair raising my hands to show I was done and kept laughing.

"We made such a mess" she giggled, looking at the colorful ground around us.

"Yeah, who cares? Trish is working as the food court janitor, so she'll have to clean it up." I said.

"Do you really think she will actually clean up?" Ally said still giggling.

"Guess your right" I said, and then we started picking up the candy tossing it into the trash can. Eventually, that turned into a M&M basketball game. And we were laughing all over again.

After we had cleaned up everything, we made our way to the boardwalk on the beach and started walking.

"I gotta hand it to ya Ally, you can be more fun than I thought" I said chuckling.

"Thanks! I can't even believe I was in a food fight! And participating!" she laughed. "Ah man!"

"What?" I asked, startled at her sudden outburst.

"We forgot about the nachos!" She cried in fake disappointment.

"Oh yeah, I guess we did. Oh well, M&Ms are better anyway." I said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." She said.
It got dark quicker than I realized as we talked.

"We should probably make our way back home." I said.

"Yeah, it's already dark." She said.
As we were walking, it immediately got chilly, and Ally started shivering. She got cold way too easily. Probably because she was so small. I did what any nice guy would do, and gave her my jacket. Usually, boyfriends did that sort of thing, but it was kind of instinctual. I always had some random urge to be really protective of her. But that's because we're best friends right? It doesn't mean anything does it? She accepted my jacket and leaned against my side when we were walking. I suddenly had a jump in my heartbeat. Did she like me or something? No, she's just cold. I made myself think. Did I like her? So many questions were asked in my head at one time. Before I knew it, we were walking back through the mall complex and we stopped at the store.

"Um, here you go, thanks." She said handing back my jacket.

"No problem." I said taking the jacket.

"We should hang out more often. Maybe it would give us more song inspiration." She said. I was trying to come up with a reply but I was lost in her eyes. The moonlight reflected her beautiful chocolate brown eyes that were looking straight into mine. I got embarrassed and blushed and shook my head trying to get rid of the thought.

"Yeah, we should. Ya know, I really had fun today. You're not half bad Dawson." I said laughing. She gave me a friendly punch on the arm and started laughing too.

Then after the laughter there was another moment of awkward silence. I hated awkward silence. So I leaned down and lifted her up into a big hug. That was when I felt butterflies in my stomach. She was so warm and small, and she smelled really good. Like vanilla. I never wanted to let go. She had her arms wrapped around my neck and her head nestled into my shoulder, giggling slightly at the fact she wasn't touching the ground. I set her back down against my will but kept my hands on her arms.

"I guess I'll see ya tomorrow. Bye Ally!" I said not wanting to leave.

"Bye Austin! I'll see ya tomorrow." She said. I walked back to my house and hopped in my window. I noticed my jacket smelled like vanilla. I usually am a chocolate type of guy, but vanilla was my new favorite.

ALLY'S POV:

We were walking back home from the boardwalk. Me and Austin had just had the best day. I did some pretty ridiculous stuff that I never would have done without Austin.

It got cold and he handed me his jacket it was so sweet for him to do that. Usually that is a boyfriend type thing but I didn't care. It was still nice. I've always had a really good friendship with Austin. We are total opposites but opposites attract, so we're good. We had been starting to spend a lot more time together recently. I don't mind. He is my best friend and he brings out the best in me.

I started thinking of how good of a friend he is and I had leaned into his side without even noticing. Uh oh. What if this made things weird? Why would it? We don't like each other like that? But he has been so nice and sweet. Do I kinda like him? I tried to get it out of my head as we approached the store. I handed back his jacket and thanked him. I told him we should hang out more. I didn't want that to sound awkward so I also added the fact it would make for good song inspiration.

I noticed how handsome Austin really is. Especially with the moonlight highlighting his features. His messy blonde hair was really cute. His eyes were a deep caring hazel brown. His smile sparkled and had the ability to make butterflies stir up in my chest. I suddenly found myself blushing at the thought. He agreed that we should hang out again and he said he had a really fun time. When he was talking though, he almost sounded really nervous. Which was weird because Austin never gets nervous. He picked me up into a huge bearhug and it felt great. I held onto him tightly and took in the beautiful scent of his cologne. He always smelled the same. I've hugged him enough times to know that. It's like he doesn't even use cologne, he just smelled like Austin. And Austin smelled good. We said bye and went our separate ways. I sat on my bed writing down thoughts in my book. Only to realize that everything I wrote was about Austin.

So there's chapter one! It will get better, I promise. Also I feel like I repeat myself a little bit with my different stories. I'm trying to get better with that...Tell me what you think about this one so far! Good? Bad? Horrible? Awesome? I wanna know!
