To celebrate the upcoming new year, and my new story, The Time Has Come(which I recommend), I have this little one-shot. I was going to wait until tomorrow, but I was afraid I would lose the idea. Enjoy :)
Team Austin, along with their families, was in Sonic Boom celebrating the upcoming New Year. People were talking and laughing about all the great times they've had in 2012. Plus, a stage was set up so Austin could perform later.
Ally approached Austin. Dez and Trish were having an argument about once again, Dez's gingerbread family. "Hey Austin," she said.
"Hey Ally, what's up?" Austin greeted.
"Just wanted to talk, Trish and Dez are fighting again." The pair looked over at the two arguing. "So, Austin, any New Year's resolutions?"
"Hmm, I've already performed at Times Square on New Year's Eve, and I was kind of bummed out not being able to go again this year, but now, I really want to go on a tour around the world. How about you Alls?"
"Well, I've been looking to get over my stage fright. I mean, in a perfect world, I could get up on stage and dance and sing as cool as you, Austin."(1)
"Don't worry Ally," Austin assured. "Trish, Dez, and I will help you out."
"Thanks Austin," Ally said with a smile.
"Of course, as an Ally Dawson fan, (2) I'd do anything for you. You're awesome. I wouldn't know what to do without you."
She blushed a bit at his comment; she didn't want to admit it, but she had started to have small feelings for the blonde star. Ally wouldn't tell him though, she was afraid to ruin their friendship.
I wouldn't know what to do without you either Austin. You make me feel like I'm wanted. I just want to be with you. To feel that beach blonde hair of yours, to smell that fresh summery breeze, to- SNAP OUT OF IT ALLY! You're just friends, and will always be just friends. Best friends. It's not like he'd like me back; he's THE Austin Moon. I'm just Ally Dawson, his songwriter. He even turned himself orange to show that he doesn't like me. We even wrote a song inspired by the whole situation. That was a couple of years ago though. What if his feelings changed? Would he like me?
Ally's endless thoughts had overtaken her so much, that she didn't realize she'd been staring at Austin the entire time while he called out her name.
"Ally! Ally! Earth to Ally Dawson!" Austin sighed. He grabbed a pair of cymbals next to him and clashed them together in front of his songwriter's face. (3) Ally flinched, her attention now back to the waiting blonde.
"Ally, are you okay?" Austin was a bit worried. This has been happening more and more lately.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired, I guess."
Now I'm worried. That was always the excuse she used for her zoning out. Even if it was New Year's Eve, and almost midnight, it just didn't seem right. Maybe I should just be honest with her and find out.
"Really Ally, what's wrong? You've been using that excuse for a while now. I know something's up."
"Uh, well…" she stuttered. At that point she ran off with Austin chasing after her.
"Ally! Stop! Please!" Ally was still running, going faster and faster by the second. Eventually, Austin lost her, but he knew her too well. He knew exactly where she was, the mall pond. (4)
When Austin finally reached Ally, she was chewing her hair, her nervous habit. (5)
To stop chewing your hair would be a good New Year's resolution for Ally.
"Ally," Austin said. "Please talk to me."
The songwriter ignored him; she was staring into the pond, chewing her hair, looking at her reflection and being able to see Austin behind her.
"I care about you, Alls. Please?"
Ally still ignored him. She didn't mean to ignore her best friend; Ally just didn't want to ruin their friendship.
What is wrong with me? I'm ignoring Austin. He doesn't deserve to be ignored after all he's done for me. Should I just be honest with him? What will he think? I guess, he would've found out sooner or later. I just with it was later.
Ally stood up from the cool bench. Still turned away from him, she said, "Austin?"
Austin had slowly been walking away, just to see if Ally would speak. He turned around and answered, "Yeah?"
Ally mumbled fast, covering her mouth, "Ihaveacrushonyou."
"What?"
"Ihaveacrushonyou," Ally mumbled again.
"Ally, I can't understand you. Can you repeat that?"
The songwriter sighed. "Austin, the truth is I've had this crush on you for a while now. And I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. That's why I always used that excuse. That's why I've been zoning out more often, because of you. I know that we will only be just friends, Austin, and that us being together would be weird even (6), but I-"
Austin had cut her off, for he pressed his lips against hers. It was magical, just like in all the movies. At first, Ally was shocked, but she started to kiss back. That earned her a shiver. She didn't think Austin would like her. She put his arms around his shoulders, and at the same time, he put his arms around her waist. When they both needed to come up for air, their foreheads pressed against each other Austin said, "Ally, there aren't a lot of words to describe how I feel right now. I know how you feel. That's because," he paused, a bit unsure of what to say, but the words just came out of his mouth. "I love you."
"You what?" the brunette was shocked again. She had never thought that Austin Moon, her best friend and partner, would fall for her. The two let go of each other.
"You heard me," he replied. Shouting, hands in the air, he said, "I LOVE YOU ALLY DAWSON!" A bit more softly, Austin continued, "I've had this crush on you too, Ally. You have no idea how hard it was to keep it from you. I wanted to tell you, but didn't know how. And I wasn't sure if you'd like me back. But I think I know what to say now. So without further ado, Ally Dawson," Austin quickly pulled up a flower and got down on one knee, "will you go out with me?"
Both of them stared into each other's eyes. Time had seemed to freeze. Everything seemed so tense, and time would only continue by Ally's answer.
Ally took a deep breath and sighed. "Yes," she answered and nodding her head. Her face turned bright as did Austin's. He stood up and hugged her, which seemed to last forever. Neither of them knew what time it was, and they both knew that they needed to get back to Sonic Boom soon. Everyone was probably looking for them.
Just then though, the fireworks shot up in the sky, and people were yelling loudly, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
The pair smiled at each other, feeling very happy and making sure to cherish this moment forever. Ally spoke up, "We should probably get back. You have your performance."
"Yeah we should, but I forgot something."
"And what would that be?"
"This." Austin grabbed Ally and pulled her into another kiss which she gladly accepted.
Whispering, Ally said, "Happy New Year, Austin. I love you."
Austin smiled, "Happy New Year, Ally. And, I love you too."
So…what did you think? I thought it was pretty good, but of course, I'm the author, so why wouldn't I think that? Anyways, make sure to check out my other story in progress, The Time Has Come.
1. A quote from the episode, Soups and Stars. I think that's the episode.
2. Austin said that he was an Ally Dawson fan in Kangaroos and Chaos.
3. In the first episode, Rockers and Writers, Ally clashes a pair of cymbals to wake up Austin.
4. The mall pond was from Zaliens and Cloud watchers, the only episode that I remember that doesn't alliterate. Is that even the right episode name?
5. Ally chews on her hair in a few episodes in Season 1. She hasn't done so in Season 2, which I hope she doesn't, because her hair is pretty. :)
6. Ally said that she and Austin dating would be weird in Backups and Breakups.
Reviews are appreciated!
