Hey time travelers (Sorry, having a Doctor Who themed birthday party in a few days), it's my birthday! YAAAAAAAAAAY! *cue Muppet arms* I am offically one year older since midnight which me and my family stayed up to so we'd be awake at the time I was born (I was born right after midnight. So close to becoming a Midnighter!) and to celebrate, I'm posting this brand new story that has had multiple months in the making, from idea sprout to fully developed chapters. I'm so excited for you to read it! You have no clue.
Now, there's something I should probably tell you. Along with my usual category I write (which is romance because it's fun to write), this is also mystery. From the description, I'm assuming you guys have some suspicions that something's going on with Austin. Is there? OK, yes, asking you about pretty much always guarantees that there is (Why else would I have asked you?) but what is it? Prepare to be confused because this is gonna be wild and, well, confusing. I hope you enjoy it!
P.S. I would like to give a shout-out to truecolors264 for their story "Ally Dawson's Secret". Somewhere in there, while they were still updating and hadn't finished the story yet, I got the inspiration for a mystery-like story which lead me to the plot of this story. Now, they finished the story back in April so you know that I've been working on this story for more than 5 months!
As I said before, I really hope you like it, you'll be confused for a while so bear with me, and, just read on! I'm sorry this before hand is so long...
CHAPTER 1: "I have absolutely no idea…"
ALLY'S POV
"Welcome to Sonic Boom! My name's Ally, how can I help you?" I ask as I sense someone come up to the front counter. I was currently writing in my Book and, boy, was I on a roll! Since I know this store like the back of my hand, I was hoping I wouldn't have to stop but could still help them.
"Yes, you can. Do have any have pancakes?" The person responds with.
What?
"Um, sir, this is a music shop. We don't sell pan—" I look up and see my blonde best friend.
That makes more sense.
I laugh under by breath, "Hey Austin."
"Hey Alls!" he greets back with a huge smile on his face. "How's the new song coming?"
"Great, actually! I just finished it. You wanna hear it?"
He lights up more at my last sentence, "Of course! I'd love to!"
Then he suddenly gets this confused look on his face and his eyes look around the store for a bit. It looks he's trying to figure something out but I don't know what. Then he looks at me, his eyebrows shoot up, and his eyes scan my body. "Oh, and who are you?"
"I'm Ally. Ally Dawson…" That's weird, he can't remember my name. He knew it a second ago.
"Mm-mm," he hums happily. This is weird.
"Yeah. Your partner…"
"Partner? We're married?" then he scans me again, "Not that I would mind…" he mutters under his breath but I still hear it.
"What? No! Music partners!" He thought we were married?!
That makes his eyes shoot up to mine, "Music partners? In what? School or something?"
"No…" What is up with him? "Remember? You stole my song…played it on The Helen Show…you needed a new one so you asked me to help you…we wrote "Break Down The Walls"…you redecorated the Practice Room…asked me to be your partner since I could write songs and you couldn't…we became Team Austin along with our other two friends…Any of this ringing a bell?"
Except he was tuned out again.
"Austin!" I shout at him frustrated.
"Who's Austin?" his eyes shoot up to mine again.
What?!
"You!"
"No, it's not."
"Yes, it is."
"No…It isn't."
"Yes! It is!"
"No…The name's Drake. Drake Ryle," he states completely serious and ends it with a wink.
Now I'm frustrated!
"No, it's not! You're name is Austin Moon!"
"Woah. Calm down, Babe. You're harshing my mellow," he says as he shrugs his arms like he's adjusting a jacket on his shoulders.
What?!
Just then, Trish and Dez walk into the store.
"Hey guys!" Dez greets happily as Trish goes behind the counter to stand next to me.
Austin quits staring at me at the sound of Dez's voice. "D-Dawg! How you been, man!" he exclaims as he pulls Dez into a quick half hug.
"Pretty good. You?" Dez asks back, not fazed at all.
"Alright. Hey, have you seen the new Zalie—?"
What is happening!
"—What?!" I scream. OK, I know I'm overreacting a bit but it feels like they're trying to pull something over my eyes and I don't like it when people try to play me. It kinda scares me.
"Woah. You OK, Ally?" Dez asks me, concerned, as he and Austin turn to me.
Austin scoffs, "You should've seen her earlier. She was screaming at me, claiming that I was lying about my name."
"That's because you were! You said your name was Drake! Which it isn't!"
"Woah, Babe, that one had some volume in it," Austin says shocked and leaning back a bit with widened eyes.
Dez's eyes get confused for a quick second before they return to normal. No one would have noticed but I happen to have glanced over to him at that moment to see what his reaction was to this...odd Austin.
"Hey," he taps Austin to get his attention, "Do you wanna go get some pizza at Mini's?"
"Mini's?"
"Yeah. It's this new restaurant that opened a while ago."
What? Mini's has been around for months! And we've been to it multiple times!
"Sure. Sounds good," then he turns to me and Trish, "Bye Babe. Bye…whatever your name is…" he shrugs and with that, he and Dez exit Sonic Boom.
What just happened?!
"What just happened?" Trish asks honestly confused, voicing my thoughts.
"I have absolutely no idea…" I say completely stoic.
"And since when has Austin called you 'Babe'?"
"I have absolutely no idea…"
"Should we be concerned?"
"I have absolutely no idea…"
"When will you stop that?"
"I have absolutely no idea…"
OK, no things to tell you...
And no reviews to answer...
Ah! Disclaimer:
I do not own Austin & Ally. There.
