A/n: A slight twist to a songfic. I was listing to one song for a scene for an upcoming chapter in a totally different story, accidently hit a button one too many times and up pops this song. I couldn't stop laughing hysterically while writing this; gotta love Disney.

Please enjoy reading this AU songfic, courtesy of plot bunnies, left field, and The Lion King.

Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Conrad and Stu watched as Auggie flirted with the new blonde student. It's been like this for a week straight. Auggie had been passing up chances to hang out with them between classes to be close to the new girl, Annie. In truth, she'd been going there for a month, but it wasn't until last Friday in French class did her relationship with Auggie change.

It happened so suddenly. Her pen rolled across the table and gently bumped it to Auggie's hand. He'd picked it up and handed it back to her. She whispered thanks in English, earning a glare from the teacher. She mumbled, "Désolé," and turned back to her work.

By Monday they were flirting mercilessly, her stopped by her locker in the morning, before lunch, and walked her to it after school where she usually met up with her sister to catch a ride home.

Annie blushed deeply at whatever Auggie had just said to her and Stu rolled his eyes. "I can see what's happening," he said to Conrad, whose attention was elsewhere.

"What?" Conrad asked turning to see what Stu was looking at.

"And they don't have a clue!" Stu continued, throwing his hands in the air.

"Who?" Conrad asked still searching for who he was talking about.

"They'll fall in love, and here's the bottom line: our trio's down to two."

Conrad finally laid eyes on the couple over by the lockers, "Oh."

"Ze sweet caress of twilight," Stu began in an accent that would make his French teacher proud. "There's magic everywhere, and with all this romantic atmosphere; disaster's in the air."

"What are you going on about? What's so romantic about high school? And since when do you talk like you're a character from a romance novel?" Conrad questioned.

Stu shook his head, "Just come on," he said as he turned and started towards the cafeteria.

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

Annie bit her lip at Auggie's last flirtatious comment. Her face was on fire with the constant blush she felt. It'd been like this all week, ever since French class. She didn't know what had come over her. It's not that she wasn't outgoing, just not with guys she'd only known for a month, especially ones she only just started talking to four days ago.

"So I was wondering," Annie began.

"About what?" Auggie asked a bit wearily.

"Well, I was kind of hoping you might go to the movies with me on Saturday?" she answered turning the statement into a question.

"We barely know each other for a week and you're already asking me on a date? I'm flattered," Auggie replied smirking.

"Technically we've known each other for a month. And it wouldn't be a date, just two friends hanging out."

"Either way I'd love to come but…"

"But…?" Annie prompted.

"But I already have something planned. Sorry," he apologized.

"Oh no big deal, I'll see if Bea or someone will come," Annie said right as the bell rang.

"Well, I um, I'll see you in French class then?"

Annie giggled, "You can't see."

"Bye Annie," he laughed as he walked to the café.

"Bye."

At lunch Auggie sat with his normal group of Stu, Jai, and Conrad.

"Alright, what's on your mind Aug?" Jai asked. "You've been quiet all period."

Auggie looked up, a useless gesture. "Hmm?"

"What are you thinking about?" Jai asked again.

"Nothing," he lied.

"Annie," Conrad and Stu inputted simultaneously.

Auggie rolled his eyes, "Annie asked me to go to the movies with her."

"And you said what?" Conrad pressed.

He shrugged. "I told her I was busy."

"Which isn't true, is it?" Stu asked.

"No," Auggie replied, slumping his shoulders in defeat.

"Why don't you just ask her out?" Jai wondered.

"Because there are so many things to tell her."

"And you're afraid she won't see you in the same way?" Conrad guessed.

"Kind of."

"Never thought I'd see the great August Anderson afraid of a girl," Jai said with amusement.

"You should just tell her," Stu suggested.

"The truth about my past? Impossible! She'd turn away from me," Auggie assumed.

"I agree with Stu," Conrad said as the bell rang to signal the changing of lunches.

When the bell rang to signal the start of D lunch, Annie practically sprinted from the classroom, nearly leaving her bag. She was in and out of the line in a flash, opting for just a salad and a bottle of water. As soon as she sat down to eat her lunch with some girls from her French class, Bea turned to her and asked, "So, you and Auggie, huh?"

Annie sighed and took a bite of her salad. "We're just friends, Bea."

"That's not what it looks like," Bea countered.

"Well," Annie blushed, "I did ask him if he would go to the movies with me."

"And?"

"He told me he already had plans."

"Girl, if that not a flat out lie, I don't know what is."

"I know. He's holding back, he's hiding, but what I can't decide," Annie said thoughtfully.

Bea tilted her head in question, "What do you mean?"

"Why won't he be guy I know he is, the guy I see inside?" Annie wondered.

Bea shrugged and the two girls dropped the topic and turned to the rest of the group mates.

In French, rather than sitting where she normally sat with Auggie, Stu, Conrad, and Barber, she sat with Bea and Riva.

"Oh dude, what did you do?" Barber asked.

"What do you mean?" Auggie asked.

"Annie's not sitting with us today."

"What makes you think I did anything?"

"You're the only one she ever talks to," Barber accused.

Auggie shrugged ant turned his attention to the teacher who had just walked in.

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

When the final bell rang, letting school out, Annie took her time gathering her things. She didn't need to go to her locker, she had no homework and Danielle was planning on staying after so she didn't have to rush. Annie was concentrating on get her text book to fit in her nearly empty bag just right and wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, so she jumped when she heard Auggie say her name from right beside her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," he apologized.

"No, it's fine. I was off in my own little world," Annie said. "So what's up?" she asked zipping up her bag.

"About Saturday…"

Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are

From the back of the classroom, Stu and Conrad watched as Auggie explained how he canceled his "plans" for Saturday.

"And if he falls in love tonight," Stu sighed, "it can be assumed."

"His carefree days with us are history," Conrad added.

In short, their pal is doomed.

A/n: There's really no need for this. But I just feel obligated to put an A/n before and after everything.
