S1 Ch. 2: The Gig & The Asking of the Out

...

Ok, 1 thing. Thanks for the support people, I've been on a 3-5 month break, see my other Austin & Ally story, & you'll read why.

2. Well, read through to the end & I'll tell ya then.

On with the story...

...

Disclaimer: any songs I use the lyrics to work better if you listen to the songs when they come up, just saying. There's a list at the tail end of this story, just look them up & read along. I also tend to leave some space for imagination, so just imagine what's happening if you'd like while the songs are playing.

Also, if you guys wanna point out any grammatical, spelling, or continuity errors I accidentally let slip by, please let me know either through reviews, or PMs. They'd be greatly appreciated in the long run.

Ally turned off the TV.

"All right, your first interview as an established performer with an album!" Ally said after turning to Austin.

"Yeah, dude. You got mad skills," Dez said, then put his hand on Austin's shoulder.

"Yeah, Austin. You've worked hard &, now, you'll release an album, make tons more of money, & other stuff too," Ally added in.

"Thanks, guys. I'm really excited to go on this tour, meet & team up with other artists, &, especially, make a ton more money!" Austin said, really excited.

Just then, Trish walked in.

"Guess who got a job at the Apple store..." Trish said, as she usually does. "And guess who has a present for Austin's success," she said, handing him a card & he opened it.

"Free Xbox points? You know how to make me happy, Trish," he said, hugging her.

"Kind of ironic, seeing as you work for Apple, but you bought him something from Microsoft," Ally said.

"It's actually a bit funny if you ask me," Austin replied & they all laughed a bit.

They all did stuff until that night. Austin was doing shows to raise local awareness for his tour, so they all met there.


"Ok, everyone ready to rock!?" Austin yelled into his mic & was met by cheers. "Ok, hit it!"

The music started Austin was playing his guitar & then sang...

(It's at this time that you'd wanna start listening to the song if you want to do that & if you recognize it. It really helps with visualization. Check the last chapter if you're not to sure on the songs, or want to set up playlists to listen to the songs as they come.)

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D O A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month or even your year but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world
Has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Since you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah

(Instrumental solo)

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

The crowd applauded. Austin played a few more songs, then took a few minute break by going backstage. He went up to Ally.

"Hey, Ally?"

"What's up?" Ally asked, looking up to him.

"Wanna go out this weekend to see The Avengers?"

"What, like a date?"

"Not like a date, an actual date."

"Sure," she said after a moment of thinking.

"Great. I gotta get back out there for another set, but I'll see you when I'm done."

"Ok," she said, then he went back out there to finish his show.

"All right, guys, let's rock out!" he yelled to the crowd & started to play again, the bassist lead with everyone else joining in after a few seconds.

My friend drove off the other day
Now he's gone and all they say
Is you've gotta live 'cause life goes on

But now I see I'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on

And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
That's how I give and I'm still giving

Now I wonder about my friend
If he gave all he could give
'Cause he lived his life like I live mine

If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart

And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
That's how I give and I'm still giving

You know that
I know that
You're watching me

(Instrumental)

And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
That's how I give and I'm still giving

Gotta make a plan, gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles if you want to build a life
But I don't want to make a plan for a day far away
While I'm young and while I'm able, all I want to do is...

The scene faded out as another song kicked in.

...


Oh, yeah, that thing I wanted to tell you guys...

I'm gonna include a whole bunch of crossovers with different shows, currently working on 1 right now. Don't wanna say too much, but here's a clue, it involves 4 smart guys & 1 blonde who lives across the hall from 2 of them.

Need another hint

Ok, it currently airs on CBS.

Oh, & I'll have Austin give my opinion on Avengers [Hopefully gonna see it this weekend, as this was written before it came out]

Well, that's enough for now.

PEACE...
