Ohai! :D I have an idea, and I don't know if I want to carry it out. I'm asking for you guys' opinion on this, because I don't want to write anything that my readers are going to hate. It's just no fun that way, and it'd be pointless. So, I'm thinking of making a sequel to Nothing in Common, but I have more than one way that I'm thinking of possibly going about it. Dramatic; saddish-sweet; or the same basic feel as Nothing in Common? That last one is my least favorite, because there's nothing specific I can think to do with it. Feedback? Anyway, this was meant to be a one-shot to go along with this long-winded author's note. But now that I look at it, I think this would be a good story idea! Yes, a story until I figure out the whole sequel business.^^^ What do you guys think? Anyway, here you go!

Ally sat at the piano, head in hands, trying to think of a new song. She had three days and NO ideas. She'd been wrecking her brain for 2 hours trying to come up with some new material. Every few minutes she throw her head up, thinking of something, then mumble something under her breath and get back to scratching paper in her book and banking them off the wall, aiming for the trash can but mostly hitting the floor. Austin entered Sonic Boom, carrying a basket.

"Ally! I got you something!"

"A new song?"

"No, but the next best thing!" He set the basket on top of the piano and unwrapped the wrapping. "I call it, the Inspirational Basket of Songwriting Wonder!"

"….Is there a new song in it?"

"No, but there may as well be! It's going to inspire you!"

"How so?"

"I have put together an assortment of all your favorite things." Austin answered. Ally smiled at this kind gesture and peered over the basket to look inside. Austin named each item as he pulled it out and set it on the piano. "I have a jar of pickles, a roast goose, and a documentary about clouds!" Ally's swapped her smile for a disgruntled look?

"Um, Austin?"

"No need to thank me. Anything to help you write my new song."

"Austin, why did you think to get me a roast goose?"

"Well, I couldn't find a live goose, much less a real one, so I figured I'd get the closest thing to it. Now, you can eat this goose in memory of Pickles."

"That's not exactly my idea of a loving memory. And what is this?" Ally picked up the DVD on the table and flipped it over in her hands. "Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies?"

"Yes! Now you can watch the clouds when there aren't any in the sky from his movie!"

"Austin, this is a documentary about a wild horse. Look, this is very sweet, but I'm afraid it's not going to help me write you a song. I'm sorry, but I'm a vegetarian….and horses freak me out." Austin slumped his shoulders and exhaled heavily through his mouth, frustrated that he wasn't getting anywhere.

"Man! Well, you'll never finish my song at this rate."

"I'm doing my best! If you think I'm taking too long, then you write the song."

"You know I can't write!"

"Give it a shot! It's easy once you get started."

"Yeah, once you get started. From the looks of things, that's not so easy."

"I'm just having writer's block!"

"Well, maybe I could ask someone else to write me a song."

"You want to replace me?"

"No no no no no! Just this once! Until you get over your writer's block! No one could replace you, you're my best friend!"

Ally sighed. "I don't know…"

"Ally! Just until you get back on your feet with songwriting! For the sake of my fans."

"Well, I guess it's our only option." Ally didn't know why, but her feelings were a little hurt. She was Austin's songwriter. So why couldn't she song write? A slight frown developed on her face.

"Ally! If you don't like this idea, I won't do it. It was just a suggestion. I thought it would help you."

"No, no, you're right. This is the right way to go for your career. I'll be fine with someone else doing all my work for me! Pshh, this is going to be a great week! I feel so relieved."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Now, go find someone to right you a song!

Ok, this is very short because I need to sleep. So, please review and tell me if you like this plot. There will be a twinge of drama. Not like screaming and fighting drama. But a little drama. What's a fanfic without a little drama? Until next time!
