After Dez and Austin came back to the bus from playing banjo badminton outside, they all ate their burritos and got ready for the day. Dez had convinced Trish to go with him to some director's museum or something, so that left just Austin and Ally on the bus.
Austin was sitting on the couch in the kitchen, and was talking to some of his fans on Tweeter. Ally finished doing her hair in the bedroom, then walked into the kitchen and sat down next to Austin.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey yourself."
"So, what went on while I was gone? Because you and Dez and Trish were sure acting weird."
"Oh, well, funny story. They were listening to us talking on the phone and thought something seriously bad had happened to you. So, we started talking about how different our lives would've been without you."
"I'm listening…" he smiled.
"Well, I never got over my stage fright, auditioned for Jimmy, but he signed Trish instead. She became instantly famous, kind of like you, but unlike you, she took it completely for granted. You know, obsessed with herself."
"So, kind of like she is now?" Austin joked.
Ally laughed. "Well, yes, but she became someone that I didn't want to be around anymore. Anyways, Dez had no friends, so he hung around Trish and I all the time. Trish made him her assistant, but she told him that he was her friend. Trish and I got in a big fight, I quit music forever and became a chemist, Trish's fans all started hating her. And then the worst thing happened."
"You and her never spoke again?"
"No, think even weirder. Dez and Trish… kissed."
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah, I know."
They both sat in silence for a few moments, before Ally said, "So, you have made our lives all 1000 times better. Especially mine," she added, leaning her head on his shoulder. "You've helped me get over my stage fright, helped my songs be heard by millions of people, and best of all, have been the best friend I could ever ask for. Thank you, Austin, for changing my life."
"You're welcome, Als." He smiled, wrapping his arm around his best friend's shoulders.
