Thinking of You

Part 1: Last One in Stock/Wrong Bus

Ally's POV:

"Aww! I knew things would work out between Nicole and Chris, even if they're so far apart!" Okay, so here's the thing. A month after I signed with Rammone Records, I became obsessed with movies about long-distance relationships. They were just so sweet, and, of course, I love love.

A week after I signed, I began crying during performances. Why was I doing that? Were my songs too sad? Some of them were, but that didn't feel like the reason. I felt like something just wasn't quite right. All my fans kept asking me if I was okay. If they were backstage with me, they would hug me. That made it a little better.

2 months later, I became sick, probably from the continuous crying. I not only did it onstage, but I also did it backstage and at home. I still didn't know what didn't feel right. I figured out that I was just lonely. I spent some father-daughter time with my dad, but that didn't work. Mother-daughter didn't work, either. I was very social in school and other places and made tons of friends, but that didn't work. Finally, I decided that it was Dallas.

Dallas eventually came over just as my movie ended. "Hey, Ally." "Oh, um, hey, Dallas." "Why are you wearing a robe?" "I don't feel too great. I've figured out that the only reason I'm feeling this way is because I'm lonely. I've tried tons of other people, including my parents, but it hasn't been working." "Oh, so it's not like you have the flu or anything like that?" "Nope, but I still disinfect my room to be sure." We held hands and walked to my room happily.

Dallas set me down on my bed. "So, I was thinking maybe we could watch a movie." "Good. I was already having a movie marathon. The theme is long-distance relationships." "Of course, because they're full of romance and you're a softie. Anyway, I bought you this movie. I've already seen it, but I think it's sweet, just like you. This was the last one in stock, so I was lucky to get it for you." "Aw, thanks, Dallas. That was very nice of you."

You what would be a great movie title? Thinking of You. The poster and DVD cover would have a purple background with pink flowers and the title on the bottom. The lyrics to one of the movie's songs would be found in it. Hey, I think someone gave that to me on a card once. In fact, I found exactly what I was thinking of on the floor.

Austin's POV:

"THANK YOU, WASHINGTON, D.C.!" I high-fived Jimmy, Trish, and Dez. Just one more performance and then it was time for me to go home. I had so much fun on this tour, but part of me really wanted to go home.

I had visions of this girl. Her hair was chestnut with amber highlights. Her eyes were a deep, dark brown. She wore colorful outfits. She did this really crazy dance that I thought was funny. She always wrote songs in her own private little room. She was always very cheery. She loved romance. She believed in second chances. She often came into my dreams when I was asleep or in my thoughts while I was performing. I couldn't tell if I made her up or she was real, but I really wanted to hug her. I hoped she was real and not some hallucination.

That's when I realized I was on the wrong bus. Dang it. I spent too much time thinking about her that I wound up on a Girl Scout bus. Now I had an entire group of 7-year-old girls fangirling over me. This one girl, Lulu, kept taking pictures of me. I called up Jimmy, but nothing happened. I just had to grin and bear it for a while.
