Ch. 3
*The next day Ally is busy with the large crowd in Sonic Boom
*Austin squeezes through the crowd and makes to the counter.
Austin: Hey Ally. What's with the big crowd today?
Ally: Huge sale. Everything is 30% off.
Austin: Are you sure can handle this?
Ally: I've dealt with bigger crowds. I can handle it.
Austin: I can help out.
Ally: That's really sweet Austin. You don't have to do that
Austin: I know but I want to. I'll do anything for you Alls. *Smiles and winks at her and starts to show customers where the instruments are
*At the end of the Ally is exhausted
*She starts to sneeze and cough
Austin: Are you ok Ally?
Ally: I'm fine. It's just allergies.
Austin: You sound sick.
Ally: I'm fine really Austin. Thanks for caring. *Hugs him. He smiles and hugs her back still concerned about her health
Austin: You want to get some ice cream?
Ally: Yeah sounds great.
*They go to the beach to eat their ice cream. It's really hot outside and even the ice cream isn't helping teens cool off.
Ally: Wow it's really hot today.
Austin: I know. We should go relax inside. Are you done with your ice cream?
Ally: Yeah thanks. *Hands empty cup to him.
*She starts to feel dizzy but doesn't want Austin to worry but he notices the change in her mood anyway
Austin:(worried) Alls are you ok?
Ally: Yeah, I think I'm just tired. I'm going back to Sonic Boom to take a nap.
*Gets up but suddenly her vision gets blurry and everything goes black. Unknown to her Austin caught her so she wouldn't fall
Austin: Ally! Please wake up! *Gently rubs her head and rushes her to the hospital.
*He frantically paces back and forth. Dez and Trish run in with Mr. Dawson right behind them
Trish: What happened?
Austin: We were eating ice cream at the beach. She said she felt tired and wanted to take a nap but as soon as she got up she fainted. I caught her and she was unresponsive.
Dez: It's ok bud. She's getting help now.
Mr. Dawson: You acted quickly and did the right thing Austin. She's lucky to have a friend like you
*The doctor comes in to let them know it's ok to see Ally.
*Once in the room Austin rushes to Ally's side
Austin: Is she going to be ok doc?
Doctor: She'll be just fine. She just got overheated from the sun. All she got was heat stroke. She should wake in an hour or two.
Mr. Dawson: Thank you sir. *Shakes his hand and opens the door for him
Trish: That's not so bad.
Dez: She's going to be ok.
Austin: Yeah, but I can't help but feel it's my fault. She was showing signs of illness today and passed it off as allergies. I should've seen known that was an excuse so she wouldn't worry me. *Tears up a little and looks at his best friend laying in a hospital bed looking so helpless
Mr. Dawson: I know how special she is to you Austin. You're always there for her. Thanks for the care you show her.
Austin: I'll do anything for her sir.
Trish: Hey Mr. Dawson we should all go to the cafeteria and get lunch. Ally will be hungry when she wakes up.
Dez: We'll bring you back something too buddy.
Austin: Thanks guys *Watches them leave the room then turns back to Ally.
Austin: I'm so sorry Alls. I should've known you were sick. You work so hard and do so much for us. You mean the world to me. *Kisses her forehead and continues to rub her head
*After a while Ally wakes up and sees Austin watching SpongeBob.
Ally:(weakly) Could you please turn that down?
Austin: Sure *Turns down TV before realizing Ally is awake
Austin: Hey Alls. I'm so glad you're ok. *Hugs tightly.
Ally:(wheezily) I would be better if you remove your elbow from my chest.
*Austin quickly backs away and looks guilty
Ally: It's ok Austin. You didn't hurt me.
Austin: I'm sorry Ally. I'm just happy you're ok. I was really worried.
Ally: What happened? Have you been crying?
Austin: Yeah a little bit. You passed out from the heat. The doctor said you had heatstroke.
Ally: Ok. I don't remember much. Why were you crying?
Austin: When you passed out it really scared me. I know you only covered up for yourself about having allergies earlier today. You didn't want to worry me.
Ally: Yeah I don't want to give you that stress.
Austin: Thanks Alls but I always worry about you but that's only because you're very special to me and I don't want to lose you.
Ally: That's really sweet Austin. Thank you so much. I really want to go home
*Mr. Dawson, Trish and Dez return from the cafeteria
Trish: Hey Ally, I'm glad you're ok. We bought you food from the cafeteria.
Ally: Thanks Trish.
Dez: I got you a ballon Ally. *Ties Get Well Soon balloon to bed
Ally: Thanks Dez
Mr. Dawson: Honey I want you take the day off tomorrow. You need to rest and relax after what happened today
Ally: I can't Dad. I love working I don't want to stop.
Austin: Alls you deserve it. It would make me feel better if you took the day off.
Mr. Dawson: I can handle the big sale crowd. You need it.
Ally: Ok, I'll do it for you guys. Honestly I don't think I could've worked either.
*The next day Ally is resting in the Practice Rm. She's sleeping soundly on the couch clutching onto Dougie Dolphin. Austin comes in and he smiles at her peaceful slumber.
