AN: Hi guys, this is my first Austin and Ally Fanfic. I've only recently gotten into the show and I absolutely adore the chemistry between them. This is only going to be a short fanfic depending on the amounts of reviews and followers I receive. This is going to be mainly an auslly fanfic and it's going to be based around the movie '13 going on 30'. This is set just before Campers and Complications.
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally.
ALLY'S POV:
'Here you go!' I said handing the customer their guitar.
'Guess who got a job at the old fashioned sweet shop!' Trish said casually walking into Sonic boom wearing a bright pink headband with candy swirls stuck on the top.
'How are those not stuck in your hair?' I asked pointing to them.
'What do you mean? I-' She stopped short as she began tugging at it.
'Uh oh!' She said turning away and frantically yanking at the headband. I rolled my eyes turning my attention away from her. That didn't take very long.
'Austin!' I screamed yanking the remaining glob of banana out of his hand.
'What?' He asked with a mouthful of banana crammed into his mouth.
'NO EATING IN THE SHOP!' Raising my hands in surrender. After over a year Austin and Dez still found ways to go against my persistent set rules. It honestly wasn't that hard to follow.
1) No eating in the shop.
2) No playing the stores instruments without permission from staff
3) No vandalism in any shape or form and finally
4) Never ever touch my book.
Each four of these rules were something the both of them had managed to appose within the first day of knowing them. It's obvious within a year and a half some things don't change. It was weird though, although things hadn't changed a lot had too.
Even though I suffer terrible stage fright over the last few months Austin has slowly helped me get better. These days I find myself taking a lot more risks then I would have before I met the two boys and surprisingly I finally have more then one friend, which is a record since I met Trish in kindergarten.
I keep finding this nagging feeling that I'm going to wake up one morning and its all going to be gone, back to the way Ally Dawson lived before Team Austin. It might sound stupid but everyday recently I've found myself writing in my songbook more and more that I had this feeling it was all going to end.
'I'm sorry Als.' Austin said flashing me a pout.
'You know the rules Austin!' I told him pointing to the sign.
'Huh. I've never noticed that before.' Austin whispered staring at the sign. I just rolled my eyes and went to finish my book.
'I can't get it off!' Yelled Trish with not only her head to her headband but now her hand too. Dez just sat and watched amused by it all before bending down to lick the top of her head.
'Did you just lick me!' Trish screamed in outrage.
'Is that strawberry flavour?' Asked Dez liking his lips.
'Anyway….Trish didn't you call us here for a Team Austin meeting?'
'Yes but you know I've been a bit preoccupied.' Said Trish who was glancing at her headband.
'Go on Trish.' I said shooting Dez a look.
'I booked Austin a new gig.' She said causing all three of the others attention to focus on her. 'And it's not in Miami!'
'Where? Where? Where?' Demanded Austin running up to her.
'Hold your horses boy! This is Mama's space!' She said pushing him away. I couldn't help suppress a grin as he jumped up and down.
'Well your absolutely amazing manager just got you a gig in none-other then L.A and-' She was cut off by both Austin and I smothering her tiny figure in a big hug. Dez suddenly surprised us from behind by spreading his arms around all three if us and moving us up and down as he jumped.
'Group hug!' He yelled, closing his eyes.
'Wait…' He said jumping back. 'Why are we so excited to go to Larry's Arcade?'
I looked over to him with a smile.
'No you big goofball,' I said scrunching up his hair on my tippy toes. 'We're going to Los Angeles.'
'Aww man.' He said disappointed.
'How are you disappointed?' Trish shrieked while yanking her hand around.
'Dude, we're going to California!' Austin said grinning.
'No we're not we're going to some place called Los Angeles.' Dez said defeated. 'Don't you ever listen, Austin?'
'L.A's in California.' Austin explained glaring at him.
Dez grinned and they both did their signature handshake. 'What up!'
Boys, I thought.
'Yes!' Trish exclaimed who had finally managed to pull the headband off of her head, not without a few strands of hair being pulled along with it. 'Stupid damn candy.' She muttered and I couldn't help but chuckle.
'Ally!' Austin yelled pulling me into a hug. Being so close to him literally mad my head spin around.
It was crazy to think only a week ago Austin had been my best friend and I could never see him as anything else but since the practice date for Kira I realised I'd been lying to myself the whole time.
'Yeah um…yeah…haha.' I pulled away flustered. Austin shoved his hands in his pocket also feeling the awkward tension in the air between us. It never lasted long but while it was there I couldn't help but wish for a distraction, which luckily came in the form of Trish.
'And! 'We're going for a whole two weeks. Jimmy wants us to shoot our new music video there for a new song.' Two weeks in L.A? Woah, was all I could think.
'Yes!' I said starting to dance. Austin just looked at me as I flung my arms about in a way that I hoped could be classified as dancing. It wasn't a secret that I was terrible at it. Austin had attempted to teach me on more then one occasion and I can still remember when I continuously stood on his feet while we slow danced at Trish's party. My bad dancing did help me get me a good advantage towards Dallas though. Our relationship was still a complete mystery. After he admitted he liked me nearly a month ago I hadn't heard anything since and now all these weird feelings for Austin…my love life was honestly a complete mystery, especially to me.
'We'll need to write a new song!' Trish said moving her hand slowly towards my songbook that was left on the table.
'NEVER TOUCH MY BOOK!' I screamed yanking it away. The last time someone had touched it, things had gotten a little…messy, I thought recounting the events of when Austin thought I had a crush on him. I started to think of how he'd react now that I might even possibly really do have a crush on him. Would he push me away? Would he end our friendship? Would he kiss-
'Ally! Ally!' Austin said waving his hands in front of my face.
'What?' I asked looking around.
'You zoned out again.' He chuckled reaching for my hand.
'Yes, we need to write a song!' Trish exclaimed pushing us both up the stairs of sonic boom.
'You mean Austin and I need to write a new song.' I corrected resting my arm on Trish's shoulder.
'Well…yeah but you know I'll help as usual.'
'When have you ever helped us write a song?' Austin asked her.
Trish looked at her watch. 'Oh look at the time. Must be getting back to work. Cya.' She said speeding out of the store without a second glance.
'Trish is going to actually work?' Dez asked from down the stairs looking at the doorway to Sonic Boom.
I shook my head at him, raising my eyebrows so he got the message. But of course, he didn't. It was Dez after all.
'Ooh Sandy's squirrels is having a sale!' Dez said skipping out of the shop.
'So we're going to L.A with the hizz-ay.' I cried punching Austin lightly in the arm. 'It feels like a perfect world.
'Just no Als. In a perfect world you would never do that again' (AN: Clubs and Quincarenas) He laughed throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me into the practice room despite my demands to let me down. He finally did dropping me onto one of the beanbags in the room causing me to shoot a glare at him. '
What? You told me to let you down.' He joked. I huffed at him before getting up and sitting down at the piano.
'Dez is such a kid.' Austin said, looking up from a text shaking his head as he walked over to me. 'Ooh cookies!' He exclaimed grabbing one leaving chocolate stains on his face.
'Sure, Dez is the kid.' I joked rolling my eyes.
It took all night but by the time morning came Austin and I had finished our song. We had left over Chinese boxes piled around the piano and empty chocolate wrappers covering the floor. It had been worth it though. I was almost positive that this song was going to be a huge hit.
'Want to go through it one more time?' I asked Austin who was fiddling around in the fridge. He pulled his head out of the refrigerator doorway, a mouthful of corndogs. I rolled my eyes. Typical Austin.
'Sure!' He managed, piling the remaining food into his mouth. Spying the empty shelves of the fridge I mentally added a note to add grocery shopping to the 'to-do-list' for the day.
Hey! Where's the drums?
Ooh girl you're shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don't make you like they used to
You're never going out of style
Ooh pretty baby
This world might've gone crazy
The way you saved me.
Who could blame me
When I just wanna make you smile?
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway write a song for you like this
You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you,
Baby you're so classic
Four dozen of roses
Anything for you to notice
All the way to serenade you
Doing it Sinatra style
Ima pick you up in a Cadillac
Like a gentleman bringin' glamour back
Keep it real to real in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway write a song for you like this
You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
Let's start the rewind, everything is so throwback age (I kinda like it like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
One of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're class and baby you're sick
I never met a girl like you ever til we met
A star in the 40's, centrefold in the 50's
Got me tripping out like the sixties
Hippies Queen of the discotheque
A 70's dream and an 80's best
Hepburn, Beyoncé, Marilyn, Massey*
Girl you're timeless, just so classic
You're over my head I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
Let's start the rewind, everything is so throwback age (I kinda like it like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
(An: Song is Classic by MKTO)
My hands stopped playing as Austin finished singing the last lyric. Was it stupid to hope that maybe, just possibly there was more then just lyrics behind this song we had both written or was I just confusing myself even more. I knew it was probably the latter. He had Kira now.
'This is definitely the best song we've written so far!' Austin said attempting to high five me. I smiled up at him before spinning round in a daze, my skirt flowing around my body.
'Honey?' I heard, pulling me out of a trance.
'We're up in the practice room, Dad!' Calling down, my eyes meeting Austin's. He didn't quite to see there. His eyes were unfocused as if lost in thought and I thought better then to question him. Whatever was concerning him, he'd tell me when he was ready. That's what best friends were for, right?
'Ally, Jimmy Starr called.' Dad said entering the room.
'About L.A?' He nodded. 'And I gave him permission for you to go.' He said smiling and pulling me into a hug. Oh my gosh; this was really happening. It wasn't my first trip out of Miami but going to L.A had always been a dream of mine. I felt like it was the place that started it all. That started music and I had the opportunity to make it play in my power.
'I can't believe we're going to L.A!' flinging my arms from Dad to Austin who comfortably wrapped his arms around my neck. Our eyes met, only this time Austin was focused. He was focused on me and I couldn't help but melt under his gaze. It took moments before I realised how close we were, our faces mere millimetres away. If it hadn't been for my Dad coughing to get our attention I probably wouldn't of pulled away before doing something I was definitely positive I wasn't ready for.
'Crap!' I exclaimed slapping my hand to my forehead after we both pulled away. Dad left the room muttering something about checking the accounts for the store but not before handing me a list of chores. Wow, thanks Dad, I thought sarcastically.
'What is it?' Austin asked referring to my sudden outburst.
'I have to tell Dallas about L.A!' Austin flinched, pinching the bridge of his nose between his fingers.
'What's wrong?' I asked too late. His hands had already fallen back to his said and the typical Austin grin fell back onto his face.
'What do you mean?' Austin asked blowing me off.
'You just flinched when I said I had to tell Dallas,' I crossed my arms. 'Why?'
'Ally…' He started grabbing my hand and pulling me closer; looking to the floor I could feel his hot breath against my face even though he wasn't quite looking at me. 'Ally-' He repeated playing with his hands but before he could say anything else was interrupted by Dez sprinting into the room with a lobster stuck to his neck. Well, at least it wasn't another starfish, right?
The rest of the day I wondered about what Austin was going to say and why he was so nervous. Did Dallas do something to him? Did I do something wrong?
It took hours to get the lobster to release it's clutch on Dez's back, it's hand had been stuck and pulling on a great amount of his hair and Trish couldn't refrain from laughing at the sudden bald patch at the back of his neck. By the time it had all been fixed the attempted conversation was forgotten and after several attempts it seemed obvious that Austin wanted to keep it that way and wasn't willing to admit what really nearly happened.
I didn't let myself dwell on Austin too much after that. I needed to see Dallas before our flight left on Sunday and I wasn't planning on leaving it to last minute. As much as I was excited to tell him what was going on I was even more desperate to find where we stood as a couple. Were we even classified as that? 'I guess I'll soon find out.' I whispered facing the entrance of the local library where he worked.
'Dallas!' I yelled running into the library earning several frantic shushes from several people, each one of them pointing at the sign above them that read 'please be quiet.'. 'Oops,' I flushed waving my hand in an apology. 'So this is how Austin and Dez always feel, huh.' I thought to myself. I searched for Dallas to find him hidden behind the libraries resource desk mindlessly scanning barcodes and books. I really did need to apologise a bit more about firing him and getting him stuck here.
'H…h…hi,' I stuttered. God Ally, I thought you were over this? My hand instinctively pulled my hair to my mouth, gently chewing on it.
Then Dallas looked up at me with a small smile. I forced myself to throw my hair out of my mouth and stood there awkwardly looking down at him.
'Hey Ally!' He grinned up at me and pulling himself up to a stand. His brown locks falling into his face as he stood up. He's so cute, I thought dreamily.
'Haha thanks Ally.' I raised my eyebrows at him before realising I must of said it aloud. Crap. I burst out laughing randomly. Wow smooth move Allyson, I kicked myself.
Okay Ally, now think of something intelligent to say.
'Did you know this library was originally established in 1943 bur rebuilt after it was set on fire in 1992!' Seriously Ally? I closed my eyes praying for a do over.
'Cool…' Dallas replied scratching his head. Seriously, Ally? First saying he's cute and now a stupid fact about the local library?
Dallas continued to look at me and I could feel myself flushing from embarrassment. He thinks you're a total dork! You've completely screwed it!
'You'll never guess what!' I exclaimed grabbing his hands and probably squashing them for dear life. Great, another thing I had apologise for. 'I'm going to L.A!'
He pulled his hands away from mine, frowning. 'W-What?'
'I'm going to L.A?' I looked at him completely caught off guard. This was not the reaction I was expecting. Okay so what I expected wasn't really realistic either. I doubted he wanted to get down on one knee and propose to me just because I was going to L.A for a bit.
'You-You're moving?' He whispered.
'Oh no! No! No!' I smiled carefully stepping around some books on the floor to get closer to him. 'You've got it wrong. I'm just going for two weeks.'
'Really?' He grinned and I was completely taken by surprise as he pulled me in for a hug. He'd never hugged me before. Maybe 'Dorky Ally' was getting a couple of things right. 'When do you leave?' He asked pulling away.
'Tomorrow morning. I'm so excited!'
'Well, I get off now.' He said looking at his watch. 'Wanna catch the latest Zalien film?'
'It's ' do you want to', 'wanna isn't correct grammar.' I corrected and then mentally slapped myself. He just asked you out dumbass and you say something like that. Nice one Ally!
'But I'd love to.' I said quickly grabbing his hand. Luckily I bit my lip before I ruined it again by insulting horror movies. I was going on a date with Dallas who I'd had a crush on for almost a year. That was what I wanted…right?
AN: That's Chapter one! Woooooh
