AN. All belongs to Disney. I'm just borrowing the characters for my vicious propaganda. Ehem, I mean fanfic.

Chapter 2. Marry Your Daughter

They were on their way to Ally's place, the Sonic Boom. It was the place where they first met, the place where they became enemies for accidentally stealing her song, the place where they became friends and compromised by being one team, Austin as the performer, Ally as his song writer, Trish being his manager, and Dez as his music video maker namely The Team Austin.

Team Austin was composed of four people with different background and different personalities. They became best of friends and even a family who protected each other from people who tried to break them apart. Austin and his catfish stalker who tried to end Austin's short career but later on they discovered that the stalker has a long time grudge with Ally since kindergarten, Ally and her infamous almost five year contract with Val and the Stray Kitties. Even those time with Trish and his fraud boyfriend trying to oust Austin out of the spotlight and Dez and his feud against Chuck who later on fell in love with Dez' younger sister. These were just few of those crazy moments that Team Austin faced that made them closer and stronger in making music and movies as well as pursuing their dreams alongside building Austin's career.

As they walked, he noticed Dez glancing at him every once in a while. He can feel that Dez wants to tell him something but decided against it to spare his feelings. Austin was really bothered with the date slash unexpected surprise fiasco with Ally a while ago but he can't also dismiss this anxious feelings emanating from his lanky best friend.

"Okay Dez. Spill it." He abruptly said stopping Dez from his own stupor.

"Austin, what are you talking about?" He replied curiously in return but he knew his best friend body language otherwise.

"Your eyebrows all furrowed, your nose scrunched up and you kept tapping your fingers on your side. You want to tell me something but you're holding it for some reasons. Tell me what the matter is?" Austin said seriously. Suddenly his best friend stood straight and put on a blank face in front of him.

"There is nothing I want to tell you Austin. You are being paranoid." Dez said defensively. Austin raised his eyebrow at him and shoved his hands on his jean's pocket. And it was a wrong move for him too. He just felt the box where the supposedly ring should be in Ally's finger a while ago.
He ignored the pain once again to hear what his best friend wants to say.

"Okay! Okay! I lied!" Dez waved his hands acting desperately. Austin waited for him to explain.

"The truth is I talked to Trish and she said nothing about Ally worrying about you. Trish said the opposite, that you should respect Ally's decision of calling your relationship off. And also Trish wanted to talk to you about your career arrangements now that Ally quits. She just wanted to protect the both of you since she is your manager and your friend and she's also Ally's best friend." He explained. Austin just wished he shouldn't have forced Dez into talking. The weight of the world just tripled on his shoulder but he remained silent.

"Sorry I lied to you Austin. I just want to lessen your pain but you deserve to know the truth. Also, Austin please braced yourself when we arrive there. Just prepare for the worst and don't expect anything because you might just hurt yourself even more." His friend advised.

"Thank you Dez," he paused still feeling hurt but managed to say.

"Thanks for the warning." And they continued to walk.

Dez.

Austin thought he was psychic when they were still kids and as they grew older,

Austin decided that he was just Dez being his funny self. Now he might be a real psychic. They went to Sonic Boom and saw Mr. Dawson at the register. Austin approached Mr. Dawson while Dez waited on the entrance of the store.

"Hi Mr. Dawson, where's Ally?" Austin asked him like it was just one of those old normal days.

Mr. Dawson looks at him like he had grown two heads. He looked at him with disbelief. He doesn't know why but he felt ashamed even though his daughter's the one who hurt him and broke his heart. Austin kept a straight face and asked him one more time.

"Mr. Dawson, do you know where Ally is?" There was an obvious pleading in his voice.

"Austin, she doesn't want to see you right now. Please give her some time to think." Sadness and pity etched on his voice. Austin knows that Mr. Dawson approved of their relationship even before his daughter and he became a couple. He once said on one of their talks that he, Austin Moon, brought out the best on one plain and boring Ally Dawson. Austin boosting her confidence in writing a song, making her enjoy at their crazy adventures, helping her overcome her stage fright and more. There is thousands of reason why he should fight for Ally. And one of the main reason was he love her. Simple as that.

"But Dad-," he stopped himself. He has no right anymore to call him dad. When Ally and he became a couple, he began calling Ally's dad, Dad. Ally loved it so much that it disturbed Mr. Dawson so well and forbid him to call him that. Austin didn't stop though. At first, it annoyed Mr. Dawson but as months goes by, he just accepted it or maybe just got used to it. After all, Austin and Ally were happy and going strong at that time.

"Mr. Dawson," he restarted. "I just want to talk to Ally. I want to fix things up. Fix us up." He said in a strained voice. "You knew what my intentions were for Ally the time we just started being together. I told you that I will do my best to make her happy and I did. And now I want to tell you that my intentions have changed. I want to marry her." He paused. His blue eyes now full of unshed tears. He can't stop his emotions from spilling off him. He wiped his tears by his sleeves and took a deep breath.

"I want to spend my lifetime with her. I know we're young but that doesn't mean my feelings for her aren't strong. I can't live without her Mr. Dawson. I love your daughter. She is my life now and she'll still be until my last breath."

A few minutes of silence erupted at the room. People around them kept whispering at each other. Dez was now at his back, ready to protect him or protect Mr. Dawson if everything gets bad. But nothing happened. Mr. Dawson then ushered him to the practice room where they can talk in private leaving Dez in charge of the store.

AN 2. So I had to type this AN thrice already because my connection is acting up. Anyway, thank you for the wonderful feedbacks on the first chapter. I thought it wasn't good enough to get any attention at all. On the other hand, I changed the title thanks to ShyReader842 for suggesting it. I was going for a one-word title but its not enough. Also I want to say that updates will not come as often because I got work but I'll try my best to update as soon as I can. Last but not the least, I still need a beta reader, if anyone is interested. Lastly last, please review. Thank you! 3
