In the theater, Dallas made sure that Ethan sat as far away from Ally as possible, since he knew Austin still had feelings for her and she still had feelings for him, she just wouldn't admit it.

"Why are you trying to make me look bad in front Ally?" Ethan whispered to him.

"Because." Dallas tried to think of an excuse, other than that Ethan wasn't right for her. "Because…she's taken." He lied.

"Oh, yeah?" Ethan questioned. "By who? Blondie over there?" He gestured to Austin sitting next to Ally.

"Yes." Dallas said quickly. "Now leave her alone."

"Doesn't look like they're together."

"Well, they are." He snapped.

Ethan rolled his eyes and looked back at the screen. Dallas leaned over and whispered to Austin. "You have to hold Ally's hand."

"What?" He whispered back. "Are you crazy? She just forgave me for what happened a few months ago, she'll think I'm playing with her again."

Dallas let out a quite groan and took out his cell phone to text her. He was careful not to let Ethan see, because if he did, he would know Dallas lied and would try to ask Ally on a date.

Ally looked at her phone, then looked at Dallas with a you-have-to-be-kidding look. She put her phone back in her pocket and leaned back in her seat.

"I hate you, Dallas." She whispered as she reached for Austin's hand and laced their fingers together. She felt butterflies in her stomach and she tried to hide the blush that crept onto her cheeks.

On the other end, Ethan rolled his eyes and smirked. Dallas would have face palmed if it wouldn't give everything away.

Austin sighed, lifted the armrest that separated them and pulled Ally close. She wanted so badly to push him away because she didn't want him to know the effect he still had on her, but instead she relaxed into him and stayed that way throughout the movie.

After the movie, Ethan suggested they get something to eat.

"I'm starving." He whined. "Let's grab a burger."

Dallas looked over at Austin and Ally, who were, surprisingly, still holding hands.

"Yeah." Dallas smirked. "Let's get something to eat, guys."

Ally stepped forward but Austin pulled her back and whispered. "Is it me…or does his smile look a little creepy?"

"It definitely looks like he has something planned." She agreed.

"Are you guys coming or not?" Dallas shouted back to them.

"Coming!" Ally said and gripped Austin's hand tighter. "I don't think I like this plan very much."

"What do you mean?" Austin fell in step with her.

"Dallas making it look like you and I are dating because he doesn't want Ethan to ask me out. I don't like playing games with people." She mumbled.

Austin looked at his feet; he knew what she meant. Sure, she said she forgave him for what happened, but it still burned in the back of her mind.

"Hey, Ally, check this out." Ethan said, grabbing her hand and pulling her forward, but felt her being jerked back.

"Sorry." Austin chuckled. "But, uh, where my girlfriend goes…I go." His face grew stern as he pulled Ally back towards him.

Ally looked down and smiled while Dallas covered his mouth to keep from laughing at his cousin's lame attempt to flirt with her.

Austin had his arm around Ally's shoulder as they sat in a booth, waiting for their food.

Ally was talking to Dallas about school and Ethan was just playing with the wrapper to his straw, occasionally glancing at Ally.

"Hey, you're Austin Moon, right?" A girl smiled at them.

Austin smiled. "Yeah. Hi."

"Can I have you autograph?" She asked, handing him a pen and paper.

"Sure." He signed her paper and handed it back to her. "There you go."

"Thanks." She giggled and walked back to her friends.

"It doesn't bother you that all these girls have a crush on your boyfriend?" Ethan asked Ally.

"Nope." She shook her head.

"Why not?"

"Because if he wanted to be with them, he would, wouldn't he?" She smiled innocently.

Austin stifled a laugh as Ethan rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I guess." He responded. "Don't you get like, threats or anything from his fans?"

"Not really." She leaned back as the waiter brought their food. She started picking at her fries. "I do get the occasional glares from girls we pass by, but it's not a big deal."

Austin was smiling; Ally played his girlfriend so well, it was almost like they were a real couple.

"Would you quit bothering Ally?" Dallas slapped his cousin's shoulder.

"You and Austin went on a date last night?" Trish asked her best friend the next day.

"Sort of." Ally explained. "Dallas' cousin is in town and he wanted me and Austin to act like a couple so he wouldn't hit on me."

"Why would you agree to that?"

"I don't know." Ally shrugged.

"Is this really a good idea? You and Austin, playing a couple? After what happened, I don't-."

"That's in the past." Ally interrupted her. "Austin and I are good now."

"Yeah." Trish said with sarcasm. "So good, you're able to play boyfriend and girlfriend."

"I get that you don't like the idea." Ally leaned against the counter by the cash register. "But you don't have to. All you have to do is support me."

Trish sighed. "Fine. But when this backfires…AGAIN. Don't blame me for it."

"Thanks, Trish, you're the best." Ally smiled at her.

"Whoop! Whoop!" Austin and Dez shouted as they came into Sonic Boom.

"And how is my lovely 'girlfriend'?" Austin joked, leaning next to her.

"Ha ha, very funny." She rolled her eyes and pushed his shoulder playfully, making him laugh.
