Hey guys! I'm an aspiring writer and I love Austin and Ally, but it's the first time I've written something like this. GIve it a try and please review!

Disclaimer: I obviously do not own Austin and Ally. This is just fan fiction.

Austin Moon, singer, dancer, and Internet sensation, strolled into the Sonic Boom with one hand jammed in his pocket and another holding his cell phone up to his ear. "Sure! I'll pick you up at six. We can hang at the food court. See you!"

His best friend and songwriter, Ally Dawson, raised a bemused eyebrow. "Who are you picking up at six?" she asked. "Let me guess... another new girlfriend?

Austin flashed her his signature cocky smile as she rolled her eyes. "What can I say?" he said. "The ladies love me."

"The ladies love your fame," Ally corrected with a twinge of annoyance- and something else.. jealousy? No, no, Ally thought to herself. Petite though she was, she was kind of protective of Austin. It was a best friend thing, right? But these days, Ally felt like for her, the lines between BFF and BF were kind of blurred with Austin. She'd find herself thinking things like if I were dating Austin, I would never take advantage of his fame or wow, Austin looks really cute today. Not that I notice on anything other than a friendship level.

Ally snapped out of her thoughts and continued talking to Austin. "Half the girls that say they like you, don't even know the real you," she said.

"Keep telling yourself that, Ally," Austin said, wiggling his eyebrows.

Ally couldn't help but laugh. This is what she liked about Austin. Other boys were obnoxious, rough, and rude. Austin was ridiculous, kind, and funny, but still managed to be cool. "Anyway, Austin. Have fun with the next love of your life. Or your love for tonight," she joked.

"Thanks, Ally." Austin's expression suddenly became uncharacteristically serious. "You know you're a really great best friend right? I mean, without you I'd just be stuck at my house doing chores." He pulled her into a hug.

*Ally's POV* One second ago I was laughing at a stupid joke with Austin. But have you ever had one of those moments where everything just randomly changes? When Austin put his arm around me and pulled me to his chest, I felt a spark in me. I'd hugged Austin a million times, but this time I didn't want him to let me go. And I realized that I was jealous of Austin's date with... with whoever it was he was meeting tonight.

I had a crush on my best friend.

Ally nodded absently at something her best friend Trish was saying. "Yeah," she replied vaguely. They were up in the practice room. Austin had left a while ago to get ready for his date at the fancy-ish Italian place in the food court.

"...and then, they fired me! Apparently I can't require the customers to pay me a 20% tip with each purchase. Ally! Are you even listening?"

"Huh? Sorry, Trish. I'm kind of tired today."

Trish gave a little sigh as she looked at her friend. "Ally, I'm your best friend. Don't you think I can tell when there's something wrong? That's one job I'm pretty good at."

Ally had to agree. As much as she appreciated Austin as her best friend ever (and as of an hour ago, something more) she couldn't help but acknowledge that Trish was really good at picking up on Ally's feelings. Anyway, she couldn't have a heart-to-heart girls chat with Austin, could she?

"Trish.." Ally began, and related the emotions she'd felt when Austin had hugged her.

Trish listened with a tiny, smug smirk on her lips which grew and grew. When Ally finished, she said, "You do know this isn't a surprise to me, right? I mean, I've seen this building up in you ever since you became partners with Austin two years ago. Sometimes I catch you looking at him too long, or smiling at him all the time. And you're always hating on his girlfriends. Ally, I think you love him."

"Nooo," Ally moaned dramatically. "He doesn't like me. He likes..." Ally racked her brains to remember the name of the girl Austin had just told her about. "Kelly! He likes Kelly."

Trish made a pouty face. "He'll eventually realize that you're the one for him, Ally. He's just doesn't know yet, okay?"

Ally grimaced. "Austin just thinks of me as his best friend, Trish. Trust me."

"Would it make you feel better to go spy on them? It's six," suggested Trish, an playful gleam in her eye.

Ally considered it. She didn't want to stalk Austin. But she couldn't stop thinking about him, and she wanted to know how his date was going, so why not? "That would be so rude, though," Ally objected.

Trish raised her eyebrows. "Well, I feel like Italian food. Are you in? And what a coincidence.. Austin's having his date there."

"Sure. But keep in mind, I'm only going for the pizza," she warned with a grin.

Austin Moon sat at a table in the Italian restaurant. Across from him sat a pretty blond girl, his date.

"So, Kelly. What are your hobbies?" he asked, wanting to get to know her better.

"Music. I love music," Kelly gushed. "I love your songs! Hey.. maybe you could write a song about me?"

"Maybe," Austin replied with a smirk, "if I get to know you better. What genres do you like?"

"Um.. I like music!"

Austin sighed. It was a good thing Kelly was pretty. This was going to be a long date.

Ally shot Austin and Kelly another furtive glance. "She's laughing! They're laughing. What? He likes her!"

"Calm down," soothed Trish. "She's a dimwit. Austin looks bored, to me."

"I'm going to walk by. I need to go to the bathroom anyway."

"Stay cool," Trish advised.

Ally got up, smoothed out her floral skirt and adjusted her musical note necklace, and walked across the restaurant to the bathroom. She pretended to be surprised when Austin called out "Hey, Alls! Come here!"

She turned around. "Hey Austin! Didn't see you there!" she said, smiling. Surprisingly, it was a pretty smooth lie.

Austin looked at his date. "Look, Kelly, I'm sorry.."

Ally raised her eyebrows. Kelly giggled. "For what, Austin? I'm having a great time!"

Austin flicked his hair out of his face and looked deep into Ally's eyes. "I can't go out with you. You're a great girl, but.. I have a secret."

So what did you think? Want to know the secret It's not too good yet but it'll get better. if you guys liked it, please do review. As I said, this is my first one. Please, please, please, tell me how it is! Thanks for reading, I appreciate it!
