GO FORTH AND READ MY MINIONS! ( I stole that line from my amazing american lit. teacher)

There wasn't a day that went by that Dez didn't thank his lucky stars for the moment that Austin and Ally met. It used to be just him and Austin, two goofballs who loved to mess around with music video editing and spending countless hours trying to entertain their short attention spans. Now he had a whole group of closed knit friends who're all working towards the same goal. Austin was still his closest friend by far, but having Ally and Trish around was wonderful too. They didn't think of him as stupid or dim witted like everyone else. They knew that he just had a different way of viewing the world, or in his own words, a fun way of viewing the world.

Austin never got confused or frustrated with him, ever. They were just the brothers neither of them ever wanted who looked out for each other always. They were almost always attached at the hip, if only when Austin wasn't with Ally. Austin pretty much lived at his house since the fights with his folks often lead him to come over to Dez's and ignored the situation until he had calm down enough. The ginger was also the only one who knew a few ways to calm down Austin when he was in a rage.

Ally was so sweet. She never called him stupid or anything like that when he messed up on a video or a recording session for a new song. Yes, she might have yelled, gotten frustrated , or even threatened to stuff him in the refrigerator if he didn't shut up, but no, she had never once questioned his intelligence. She never left him out of anything; she even sometimes called him at random times to talk about videos ideas for Austin's latest song. Those calls usually made his day because he found it interesting that ally could talk that fast without taking a breath for a long time, oh and he even interrupts her to voice his own crazy ideas and she actually listens to him. That made her special in his book.

Trish, oh lord, Trish, well yes she had called him plenty of names since the first time they met, many not appropriate for younger kids, but she has never once meant it. Dez liked to consider them as pet names, just like when she called Ally sweetie or Austin pop star. As messed up as their friendship was, he liked hanging out with her. She never sugar coated anything, whether it was bad news or something absolutely amazing. He liked that about her and her competitive nature always kept things interesting when he and Austin weren't up to anything.

He appreciated all of them so much. Heck, He loved them. He might not have said it out loud, but that was 'cause nobody ever bothered to ask. He also loved his life he had with them. Hanging out in Sonic Boom was way better than joking around in his room after school and on weekends. Ally's dad was mega cool. He still let them in his store after all the things they usually manage to break. Dez remembers him once saying that he would have banned them all a long time ago if only they weren't his daughter's best friends. If she was crazy about them then so was he. Plus the child labor Mr. Dawson called work was convenient for him since he didn't have to pay them.

Dez had even received a special job from Ally's dad. He had asked him to watch out for the store sometimes when he wasn't there. Mr. Dawson often worried about his little girl being in charge of the store. It wasn't that he didn't trust her; it was that he was worried about what would happen if there was a problem with a customer and what would happen if it got dangerous fast. So of course Dez had said yes. Austin would be was too obvious when it came to protecting Ally and Trish… It was a job so every knows how that would end. When Dez got the chance, he would sneak up the stairway to the upper level of the store and just sit down in the edge of the balcony with this legs swinging out in the air while leaning on the metal baseball bat Mr. Dawson had given to him for emergency's situations.

People watching had become one of his new hobbies since spending a lot of time up there on the balcony. At first he just glanced at some of the customers every now and then out of curiosity ,but then that curiosity had grew so he did it more and more often till he took joy in watching how everyone act around other people. Eventually he had made up a little game of watching person for a few minutes then guessing on what they would end up buying from the store. There was one girl who when she came in, her fingers would fidget every once in a while and she almost always ended up looking at some of the classical music sheets. Dez had guessed she was a string instrument player and he had turned out to be right when he saw her buy some rossen and new violin strings. If he spotted someone poking at all kinds of different stuff that had nothing to do with each other, then he knew they were wasting time in the store and wouldn't end up buying anything. He would be right again.

Imagine his surprise when he spotted Austin's dad among the Saturday morning crowd. Dez blinked.

Once

Twice

Three times

Yup that was Mr. Moon

There was no mistaking it. Austin might not have liked it, but he had inherited quite a lot from his Dad. His hair, his height, and a small few facial feature were all from his dad. Everything else had come from his mother. Dez knew there was no mistaking him. How many times had he found him standing outside his door asking to speak with his son? How many times has he seen him walk away without an answer after Dez had told him that he needed to ask Austin himself? Yes, He was always sorry for the arguments he started with his son, but his stupid pride always kept him from apologizing to Austin and not the other way around. Maybe He was here to patch things up with Austin. Dez watch him browse guitar picks for a few minutes. Maybe he wanted to bribe Austin instead of actually apologizing. That would explain why he came in right after Austin had left to get coffee for Ally. Maybe-

Crap.

Ally had just walked up to Mr. Moon to ask if he needed any help.

CODE RED! CODE RED! THIS WAS NOT OKAY.

Dez watched cautiously as Ally chatted with Austin's dad for a full minute before watching her walk quickly towards the back storage room. She turned back a few times to spy on the older moon before turning back around in order not to get caught. It looked like she was catching on about who her customer really was. Once the she had disappeared behind the shiny metal door, Dez exhaled a sigh of relief. He glanced down at his cellphone wondering if he should send his best friend a quick text about what was happening. He bit his lip wondering if it was really a big deal as long as nothing happened to ally when he glanced back down to catch a glimpse of Austin's dad slide slyly through storage door. Dez could practically hear the lock click on as he watched from the balcony.

Dez's mind shut down completely for a full second before his body went into auto-pilot. His "crazy overprotectiveness hulk' mood (or what he also called an Austin) kicked into gear and sudden he was flying down the stairs and out the door. Austin had been gone for about 4 minutes which meant he waited in the line for about 1 minute and then probably flirted his way to the front. Factor in the time he took to butter up the cashier so they could rush their drinks, Dez figured he should be bumping into him right about-

"OUCH!"

Now

"What the- Hey are you okay?" Austin slightly panicked at the expression on his face. Dez wasted no time in telling Austin exactly what had happened at Sonic boom.

SPLASH!

The coffee cups slammed to the ground as Austin's feet took off in the direction of the music store. Dez was right behind him as they pumped their legs as fast as they could go. They nearly crashed into several people, but neither of them cared at the moment. They just needed to get to Ally.

Austin pushed his way through Saturday crowd as he made a bee line for the storage room door. He used his fits to punch the door till his hands were red, bruised and numbed. Once his hands were useless, he started kicking at the door willing it to be knocked over. He stopped once his feet also started throbbing too much to continue. He leaned his forehead against the door and growled in frustration.

This is not happening

This can't be happening.

"Watch out!" Austin barley had enough time to move out of the way before Dez swung the emergency 'creeper' bat at the door. He knob till it broke off completely. Ally's shriek rang out of the room.

"Go!" Dez yelled at Austin, though he didn't need too since the blonde was already half way through the doorway, his face furious and hands clenched tightly at his sides. He didn't even mutter a thank you towards Dez for opening the door, Not that he wanted one anyway. All Dez wanted from Austin right now was for him to get Ally out of that room.

Suddenly feeling exhausted both physically and emotionally, Dez leaned against the nearest wall and slide down it till he was sitting on the floor. He leaned his head against the wall just as he heard another shriek from Ally followed by a loud crash.

Please let her be okay.

"Y-y-you-u're Austin's D-ad" Ally pressed her hand on her chest trying unsuccessfully to calm herself down. So she had finally met Austin's father.

Alone in the storage room.

With the door lock tight

No one knew they were here either.

oh fudge, this was not good.

"Okay, okay calm down, deep breaths, calm, serine-" She snapped her head up and then scrambled to press herself closer to the storage room's wall. "Stay back! I once accidently sucker punched an old lady so don't think I won't do the same to you too! I should also warn you that I have a bottle of pepper spray…That I left in my bag on the counter."

"I'm not going to hurt you or anything like that!" Mr. Moon commented.

"…Says the guy that locked me in the storage room with him!"

"I can explain that! I can explain everything if you calm down and listen to me. Please?" Ally sunk down onto a box of music sheets and held her head in her hands. She was stuck here anyway, why not?

"You have five minutes"

"Thank you. First I never planned on locking us in here. I came here 'cause I knew this was where Austin liked to hang out and now I can see why." Ally shot him a confusing look.

"I saw that little scuffle with that flirty guy earlier, I had a lot of trouble trying to contain my laughter, and I don't think I've ever seen my son's face that red before. He had on his 'I'm this close to hitting you but I won't because I'm a better person than that' face. I would know since he seems to always give me that face. If his mother had been heer, she would have thought it was adorable."

"Yeah, you're down to three minutes now."

"Right, right, anyway I knew this place so I came in here to try to find a peace offering. I imagine he already told you about the last time we went out to dinner?" Ally nodded. "Good then, I don't like fighting with Austin. I hate fighting with him-" Ally cut him off for a second.

"Then why don't you just apologize! That would make things a lot easier for all of us!" Mr. Moon sighed.

"I'm a prideful man and that usually hurts me more than helps me. I wanted to find some way to apologize when I thought about Austin loves to collect guitar picks, so I came here to see if you sold any and could engrave them. When you should up I immediately recognized you from his photos."

"He has photos of me?"

"He has hundreds of pictures of you and all your friends stamped onto his wall. all of them are of you, Dez, that Latina girl, and Austin. It looks like you're all the best of friends"

"We are" Ally noticed that Mr. Moon looks a lot more like Austin when he smiled.

"Good then, So as I was saying, I saw you and when you said that Austin would love a pick like that, I was about to come out and tell you who I was when you ran off into here. I had a random impulse and the next thing I knew I was in here locking the door. I never had any intentions of hurting you; I just wanted to ask you for help on picking the right apology gift." Mr. Moon finished and was slightly started when his son's brunette friend started to laugh uncontrollable laughter.

"I'm sorry, it's just that…God that is so much like Austin that it should even be funny, but it is. Those same impulses have gotten us into such crazy situations that I'm not going to tell you about because you would probably ground him. He'd probably freak if he ever figured out how similar the two of you are."

"I'm going to have to agree with you on that one…So was the guitar pick a good idea?"

"He would have adored it, but he's also had his eyes on this pick signed by Steven Tyler that's being auctioned off on EBay. You shouldn't have to buy him stuff for him to forgive you. What you need to-do is sit down and have a good, long talk with each other."

"Should I take your advice as a sign that you believe me?"

"I shouldn't, but for some stupid reason I do." Ally was cut off by the storage room door slamming open and the sudden appearance Austin. The whole time they had been talking, the two had somehow ignored the crashes and slams that the boys had thrown at the metal door till it had busted open.

Ally's shriek only encouraged Austin's anger and unease. He crashed painfully into a pile of worn out brass instruments. Ignoring the pain, he quickly scrambled to stand up and when he did He all but rushed to Ally's side.

"Are you okay? What happened? Are you hurt?" The blonde pulled her up from her sitting position and held her in a bone crushing hug. Ally could feel him muttering into her hair and held her tighter every time she squirmed.

"I'm perfectly fine, not a hair out of place-"Austin quickly cut her off with an urgent kiss.

On the lips.

I'm sure everyone expected Austin dad to kidnap Ally or threaten her or soemthing. I tried writing Him like that but I always ended with him like this so I just went with it :) you should review if you were not expecting any of this or if you just adore this story and me with it XP

P.s THERE ARE ONLY TWO MORE CHAPTERS LEFT OF THIS STORY! HOLY CRAP I actually learned how to write plot...
