Chapter 1

Ally's POV: I was standing at the counter talking to Austin about the ideas I had for the new song that I was writing when Shiny Money came up to us with a big smile on his face.

"YO! Austin Moon! What's up bro?" his big voice boomed through the store. Austin turned and the same smiled appeared on his face. They did the hand shake that guys usually do and then responded.

"Nothing much, man." Austin answered.

"Well, there is now." Shiny said. We both raised an eyebrow at him.

"I got you a gig in L.A." Shiny said elaborating. It took less than five seconds for this information to process into his brain and then he shouted with joy and then turned to me. A huge smile revealing his white teeth.

"L.A.!" he screamed. I laughed because of how happy and loud he was. "Yeah!" I screamed too. This caused him to laugh too.

"There's only one problem. Like before, there is only one extra plane ticket. You'll have to choose someone to go with you." Shiny said breaking the wave of happiness that had overflowed the both of us.

"Oh." Austin said sadly. Shiny Money clapped a hand on Austin's shoulder, causing Austin to turn and face him.

"I need to know my tomorrow man," Shiny said. "you'll be gone for a week and a half. Oh, and the song needs to be new." he added before walking out of the door.

I looked up at Austin. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I don't know what I'm going to do Ally!" he said exasperated. I just shrugged. I didn't know either, so why would I say anything?

"What do you think would be the smartest decision to make?" I asked. He looked at me confused.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"I mean who do you think you should take based off of what Shiny said?" I elaborated. He still had the confused look on his face.

"Shiny said that it has to be a new song." I said. I kind of wanted to go but it was Austin's decision. He tilted his head up, as if realizing what I had been hinting at the entire time.

"I'm guessing you want to go?" he asked a little note of teasing in his voice. I smiled slyly and turned my head so he couldn't see it.

"I mean you are my songwriter and since I need a new song and I have to answer him by tomorrow, would you like to go with me?" he asked. My smile became happy and larger. And then it faded as I remembered Trish and Dez.

"What about Dez? Trish is on a trip to Paris." I stated. He nodded once before answering me.

"Dez is in the Bahamas with his parents." He answered. I nodded once too. Then I launched myself into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck in a tight hug. He hugged me back and then took out his cell phone to call Shiny Money. We were going L.A.!
