Okay, so the original working plan was this, Austin and Ally work together three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday…and her and Liam work together Tuesday and Thursday. It was a month later, and both guys had been very careful to be only friendly and accepting of each other…when Ally was around at least, when she was gone it was a war of anything goes.

So far Austin was winning as he had even gathered allies in the forms of Trish and Dez to help him out, they were fully in the loop about the current battle between Team Austin and the new guy.

Neither had made an offensive move towards the other yet, although that was about to change…remember that Austin head foam squirter, Austin and Dez had pimped it up and had a surprise waiting for him.

Just waiting for him to walk into sonic boom to give it to him.

Trying not to laugh when he walked in Thursday morning to practice with Ally, she smiled and told him she was almost done working and to hang out with Austin and everybody…huge mistake.

"Hey, Liam, come here and see something cool", Trish called brightly gesturing him over…when Liam was standing in front of the piano, both Austin and Dez began play fighting…'accidentally' hitting the go button on the squirter, which was 'coincidentally' pointed directly at Liam.

Next second he's on the ground covered in suspicious, filthy tar like mechanic oil. Rushing to 'help' him Austin bent down to pull him up, smirking arrogantly "I told you I play dirty", he whispered inconspicuously…loving the worried look on the dark haired boys face.

"I'll go get some towels, then you should probably go home Liam…get changed and showered and stuff, we will reschedule practice" Ally told him, making Austin mentally cheer at the success of the plan.

Which had been labelled operation group grease monkey sabotage…Dez named it.

The second she left the shop to go buy some, he whirled to face all of them, who were stood in a united wall against him.

"You all set this up" he accused angrily. Not expecting their laughter that followed, Trish nodded smiling happily "Yep, that's for trying to steal one of my team mates…and for being dumb enough to come over when I called, you best watch it cause if you thought Austin played dirty, you aint seen how good I am at revenge."

"I aint leaving!", he argued, despite the fact that ally as much told him to go, Austin smirked humourlessly, "listen to me, Ally told you to go, so your gonna go…I don't care who you are, the fact is your trying to steal my Ally…so your either gonna leave on your terms, or you leave on my terms. You pick" Austin asked grimly, really wanting him to say no again and give him a reason to kick his ass. Liam started walking out, before turning and coming back. "listen Austin, you may have won this round…I want ally and I'm going to get her, but you should know there are other ways I want her mine. She's your song writer, but I think she would willingly drop you if she got a chance to write and work with her boyfriend.", the guy smiled tightly. Knowing the promise of stealing Ally in all ways would hit Austin where it hurts the most…what he didn't expect was Austin's immediate reaction to him saying it.

Authors note. Things are about to get dramatic…Liam will retaliate for the oil trick, and for Austin's reaction, which will be in the next chapter.
