A/N: This chapter is what happens on the date, and how Austin copes with it.
"Where is this date, Trish?"
"It's at the mall, near the cell phone accessories cart."
"But isn't that where..."
"Ally?"
"Dallas?"
Trish giggled nervously. "Awwwkward."
"But-what- Trish!"
"I swear I didn't know! He was wearing a mask!"
"Thanks, that makes it so much better!"
"Why is this a bad thing?" asked Dallas.
"Because," said Ally. "I used to have a huge crush on you. It presented a lot of problems, I can tell you that."
Meanwhile, Austin was pacing around the Sonic Boom.
"Can I help you, Austin?"
"N-no, I-I'm okay, Mr Dawson."
"Call me Lester. Is everything okay with Ally?"
"Sort of."
"What's going on?"
Austin took a deep breath. "I'm in love with your daughter but she's off on a date with some guy she's probably really gonna like and then the date will go well and they'll get married and I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN, LESTER, I CAN'T!"
"Woah," said Lester. "Slow down. What did you say?"
"Well, Ally's out with a boy and I'm worried that she's gonna have a great time and that she's gonna marry this guy who she's obviously gonna love," explained Austin.
"Why is that a problem? I thought you'd want Ally to be happy."
"Yeah, but I wanna be the cause of her happiness. I wanna make her happy. I love her."
"Love as in friend love or love as in the other love?"
"The other love."
"Oooh. I feel your pain." Austin looked up at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Ally's mother was my best friend. We were about as close as you and Ally are. One day her best girlfriend set her up with some guy and I burst in on that date and confessed how I felt. As you can see, it worked out well. Sort of."
"Hmmm...thanks Lester! You rock!"
I'm not sure I like that ending. Oh and by the way just to clear that up, Ally's parents didn't divorce, her mom died of cancer. So hope you liked it. Hope you liked Mr Dawson or 'Lester' giving Austin advice there. Anyway, bye ladies and gentlemen, guys and girls, baboons and gorillas, dogs and cats, and any other creatures who might be reading this!
