Disclaimer: Because apparently I need to point out the fact I don't own Austin or Ally...just the plot line. And I don't own any songs that may pop up during this story.

Good...now that we covered that...

Hey there people of Internet-landia, so I originally wrote this for a friend a little while back. It had started as some fun between the two of us, just testing our abilities to write outside our comfort zones. That space outside the boundaries of our comfort zones being random shows picked by the other, FYI. But after a while she pushed me to throw it up here and share with all of you. Hope you enjoy this little bit of Auslly!

There she sat, her wedge-clad feet swinging over the side of her piano bench. Her fingers absentmindedly twirled her hair as her other hand doodled pictures around the edge of the page. She had lost track of time, lost in her thoughts, lost in the melody that had been plaguing her the past week. Ally was so wrapped up in a swirl of thoughts that she hadn't heard Austin walk in and she hadn't noticed him hovering over her as his eyes silently scanned the page below.

"Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance
I'll spin you around, won't let you fall down
Would you let me lead? You can step on my feet
Give it a try, it'll be alright"

He smiled as she twisted the strand of her hair tighter. He could get lost in her quirks; her light vanilla scent was intoxicating. He began to hum the melody in her mind, as if he could read her thoughts. Her head snapped to the side as her eyes cascaded along the body beside her.

Austin's lips curled into a slow smile after catching her attention, "Hey Als"

She sighed as her annoyance from the disturbance slowly slipped away, "Hey...I was just writing a new song for you. I'm a bit stuck, but don't worry- it will come to me." She sounded a little less confident as she shifted on the bench, making room for him to join her.

Sliding into his place he looked over the lyrics once more as her delicate fingers spread across the piano, both immediately losing themselves in the sweet song she had created. Without thinking, Austin sang the next few lines of the song.

"The room's hush, hush and now's our moment.
Take it in, feel it all and hold it
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We're doing this right."

His mind playing back one of his favorite memories, the first time they had ever danced together. He realized he loved her that night, as she floated in his arms. Her eyes had been locked on his and he so desperately wanted her to forget all about Dallas. That was the night he vowed to himself that the only guy to kiss those lips from now on would be him. Austin just needed to gather up the courage to tell her how he felt.

She was staring.

Austin straightened up once he realized, fidgeting on the bench. "You...you actually came up with lyrics that had nothing to do with pancakes or how to properly tie a knot."

Austin felt himself falling into those chocolate pools that were searching his face for answers. Shifting his eyes to the piano keys below, he shook the need to see those beautiful eyes flutter close because of a slow passionate kiss. "Was inspired..."

Realizing this was a bit too soft for his normal tough guy bravado, "I was thinking about pancakes...ya know...if pancakes were a girl..." He internally face palmed at how stupid that sounded. Pancakes? If pancakes were a girl…? Why couldn't he just turn to her and tell her that he loved her more than pancakes, surfing, and performing on stage- why couldn't he just tell her that singing was his passion but that she was his dream come true?

"You truly surprise me sometimes, Moon." She smiled; he turned toward her, thinking this could be his chance. Why not surprise her a bit more? His mouth began to form the words he carefully rehearsed in front of his mirror countless times before. "We make perfect partners." she seemed to say it more to herself than him, but the words caught him off guard as her fingers began to float effortlessly across the piano once more.

He sighed and was suddenly reminded why he had never said anything before.. They were partners...it was a business deal that had developed into so much more. He knew she considered him her best friend, but Austin was starting to believe she would never consider him as anything else.

As Ally added to the song, Austin was sure he could hear his heart breaking just a little more.

"'Cause lovers dance when they're feeling in love.
Spotlight's shining it's all about us"

He had been in love when they shared that dance...and if only she knew she was writing his heartbreak so beautifully onto paper. The irony.

I will be throwing up more of the story over the next week or so as I have a chance to re-format it. Let me know what you think so far, always like to hear opinions!
