(A/N) I do not own Austin and Ally other wise Auslly and Trez would be canon. Enjoy! This is my first fanfiction so I'm sorry if it's bad.
In the days since the New Year began, Sonic Boom has sold a grand total of six instruments: one drum set, two pianos, and three guitars. I hate and love this time of year; I hate not having any extra money since Dad can't afford to pay me; I love it because I have more than enough time to read, even though I'm not supposed to read while on duty. I see Dad appear from the office and look around the store, eventually sticking his head back inside seeing no one.
I turn my head back to the front door and see Austin, Dez, and Trish walking towards the store. I can tell from here that Dez and Trish are arguing. Austin opens the door for the two, and I catch a little of their argument as they pass me, "Dez, it comes out tomorrow! We need to get our tickets today!" I wave at the two of them, and neither acknowledges me. I turn my attention to a very annoyed, sleepy Austin, after I close my book. He pushes himself onto the counter top; I could yell at him, but since no one's here, I'll let it go.
"What are they going at it for this time?" I ask, pushing myself onto the opposite counter, attempting not to flash him in the process. This skirt is a little short to be sitting on a countertop.
Austin fixes his beach blonde hair as he answers me, "When to go see the new Zalien XVII movie." I can tell from his voice how annoyed he is, "Would you help me?" He walks over to me allowing me to fix his hair. His hair smells quite good so I don't mind. "That's good. Thank you," he sits next to me on the counter. "How's business been today?" I motion around the room, and he nods in acknowledgement. "Is it because they are all on vacation?" Poor Austin not everyone has a non busy mattress store in the family. The Moon's always seem to have business; it might be because Austin is the owner's son.
"It's because they were on vacation. Now they've all gone home, or if they live in Miami, they are out of money. I hate coming to work for a good month after the holidays because no one buys anything."
"When does business pick back up?"
"February," I say simply.
"Why February?" He asks naively. I raise my eyebrow hoping he'll catch on which he eventually does. "The same reason the mattress business picks up, right? And why the month of November is a popular birth month, right?" I nod.
"We are the reasons for that," I say jokingly. He raises his eyebrows again. "Most guys that come in before Valentine's Day is because they want to play their ways into the woman's heart-"
"-And one thing leads to another." I nod. He catches on eventually. "Speaking of one thing leading up to another, they've been up there awhile, and it's awfully quite."
"The room is sound proof now since somebody stole my song," I retort. "But, they have been up there a while. That better not touch my book," the thought makes me shudder. "Would you go get it?"
"Why me?"
"He's your best friend," I say.
"She's your best friend!" I roll my eyes. That was his come back, and people call me naive? "Rock, paper, scissors?" I nod, "Best two out of three." I win easily, and he dashes up the stairs. "Wish me luck," he mouths and knocks on the door. The door opens and I can hear Dez and Trish still going at it. Austin walks in and out quickly. Trish closes the door behind him leaving us alone once again. "Got it," he says handing me the book and jumping back onto the counter.
"Am I correct to assume that they were still fighting?"
"Did you not hear them?"
"I did. I'm just making sure that I don't have to buy a new book," he chuckles.
"Yeah, you're fine." I smile. "Do you have anything new?" I nod. "May I see?" He touches the book softly and takes it out of my hand when I nod once more.
"I recommend the latest one," I say turning to the right page. "I was thinking calling it A Drop in the Ocean." (1)
"It looks like it would sound beautiful," he says walking towards the piano. "Knowing you that was the point, right?" I smile and nod. I have a tendency to write songs for the piano and then the words. "What key?"
"F Major," he nods and looks at the piece. His fingers move across the piano, playing the notes softly. He doesn't miss a note like always. He plays it slower than I had written it for, but it sounds better this way.
A drop in the ocean, I don't wanna waste the weekend, Still I can't let you be, Just a drop in the ocean, Misplaced trust and old friends, Still I can't let you be, Just a drop in the ocean, Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no Nooo A drop in the ocean,
a change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
but I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.

A few more hours, then it's time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.
most nights I hardly sleep.
Don't see what you don't need, from me.

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,

never counting the regrets,
by the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
And New England as the leaves change;
the last excuse that I'll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
Most nights I hardly sleep,
don't see what you don't need, from me.

"How was it?" He asks timidly, unlike him. He's normally so confident, but when he's learning a song, it's like we switch personalities.
"It sounds better than I planned," I say sitting beside him. "I'm not kidding, Austin. Don't give me that look. Did you like it?"
"Yeah, it's different than what I normally do, and it feels amazing. Thank you, Ally." He hugs me quickly and pulls away. Our eyes lock for a split second, not long enough to make it awkward thankfully.
"You're welcome," I say after recovering from our eye lock.
(1) I do not own A Drop in the Ocean.
So I would like ten reviews before I put up the new chapter, please. Thank you
