Hey everyone! I'm back! You may know me from my other story, my version of The Mark of Athena. If not, well, go check that out! Anyways, this is my second story, and my first Austin & Ally one. So, I would love it if you review, and don't feel like you have to be nice-I'm fine with flames! Okay, on with the story! (Anyone else think that I'm a bit overexcided?)

Disclaimer: If I owned Austin & Ally, Operation Auslly would've been complete since Albums & Auditions, at least. (Although, I've heard from various places that they will get together soon...yay!)

Songs & Secrets

Chapter 1-Nervousness & New Songs

As Trish and Dez approached Sonic Boom one day, the first thing they heard was music. This wasn't usually strange, considering that Sonic Boom was a music store, but this sounded like someone performing.

They pushed through the doors and found the store empty, except for a lone figure. The lights were dim and there were different color spotlights flashing around, like you would see at a concert. There was music playing and the person, who was obviously Austin, was singing along to it, as if he and Ally were in the practice room recording their newest hit. Austin was dancing on the counter and seemed oblivious to Trish and Dez's entrance. They exchanged looks and paid closer attention to what Austin was saying.

"For goodness sake, let's make or break this heart, 'cuz it needs mo-ore!" he sang. "I can get your heart beat-beat-beat-beating like, I can get your heart beat-beating like that!"

Trish and Dez started swaying to the music and clapping. Well, Trish was swaying, Dez was more leaping. Trish rolled her eyes. Typical Freckles. Once the song was finished, they applauded.

The blond singer jumped, obviously just noticing their presence.

"T-Trish? D-Dez? When d-did you g-get here?" he stuttered.

"Just a few minutes ago." Trish responded, confused by Austin's nervousness. Austin Moon never got nervous.

"That song was awesome!" Dez said enthusiastically, not noticing any awkwardness whatsoever. "When did you and Ally finish it? Maybe for the music video, we can have you on top of a giant snow bank dancing with a polar bear!"

"Dez, Dez, stop." Austin said holding out his hands, at the same time as Trish said "Really, Freckles? What on earth would Austin dancing with a polar bear even have to do with the song?"

Dez looked hurt. "It was just an idea." He said, crestfallen.

Trish rolled her eyes. "Austin, I thought you didn't like romance songs. Why did you guys write that?"

Austin put his hand on his neck and fidgeted uncomfortably. "Um, first off," he said. "Dez, I don't want to make a music video for that song, it's not one of my performance songs."

The redhead looked confused. "But you just performed it for us." He said, gesturing to himself and Trish.

"I didn't know you guys were here, so it's not really fair. If I had seen you, I wouldn't have sung it." Austin said.

Dez looked deep in thought. Suddenly, he gasped loudly, causing Trish and Austin to jump and look at him in shock.

"What?" Austin said, sounding slightly nervous.

Dez looked at him. "Oh," he said. "I just realized that I forgot to walk Ollie today."

Trish sighed loudly through her nose. Ollie was Dez's pet fish that he had invented a few days ago. Dez apparently didn't get the fact that fish did not need walks.

"You can walk him later." She said, sounding as if she was trying to keep herself calm.

Austin smirked. His Latina manager had a really short temper when it came to Dez. Or to many people, really.

"Austin." Trish continued. "Who was that song for? Why do you not want to perform it?"

Austin fidgeted some more, his nervousness back. It was starting to weird Trish out. There had to be something he was hiding.

"Um.." Austin said. "Um…the song wasn't for anyone! Yeah, Ally and I thought that having a few romance songs would help me get more fans. But, we didn't like the way it turned out, which is why we didn't want to make a video."

Trish narrowed her eyes at him. Did he really expect her to believe that for a second?

"Austin," she said slowly, yet firmly. "Who was that for?"

"No one!" Austin looked a little angry now, but still nervous. "It wasn't for anyone! Why can't you accept that?"

Trish debated. She still didn't believe that he was telling the truth, with his hand on his neck, and the nervous tone and the fidgeting. But, if he thought she believed him, she could talk to Dez and Ally, to see if they knew anything. Well, talk to Ally. Her brunette best friend spent the most time with Austin, and he was more likely to reveal his feelings to her, seeing as Dez would be no help whatsoever. Besides, even if Austin did tell the redhead something, he would most likely forget it soon afterwards.

"Ok." Trish said finally. "That song wasn't for anyone. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go apply for a new job." She turned on her heel and walked out of Sonic Boom.
