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

...

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 walked into the shop. "And guess who has a present for Austin's success," she said, handing him a card & he opened it.

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

"Kind of ironic if you think about it, 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 some awareness for his tour, so they all met there. He & Ally also made a pact for a surprise.

The Concert:

"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...

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
Seems 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
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

The crowd applauded. They played a few more songs, then took a few minute break by going backstage. He went up to Ally, who was talking to Trish.

"Hey, Ally?"

"Austin, 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."

"Um, 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 winked & smiled at he & went back out to finish his show.

"All right, guys, let's rock out!" he yelled to the crowd.

Ally looked at Trish with a nervous smile, playing along to their plan. The band 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 wanna live
That's how I give and I'm still giving

Now I wonder 'bout 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 wanna live
That's how I give and I'm still giving

"All right, Miami!"

You know that
I know that
You're watching me

"Come on!"

(Instrumental)

A lot of the crowd went nuts as they rocked out.

And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I wanna 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.

PEACE
