Here it is y'all, Chapter 4! Enjoy!
I don't own Austin and Ally.
Chapter 4
Meanwhile out with her two best friends, Cassidy and Trish, the girls had just finished eating dinner at their favorite diner in town. Sure Ally felt a little guilty planning a girls night last minute and ditching out on dinner at the Moon's, but she couldn't stand the thought of being in the same room with Austin. At least not yet.
"Where to now ladies?" the awfully upbeat latina, Trish, asked.
"Oooo, how about Coney's?" the giddy blonde, Cassidy, suggested.
"It's like you know the way to my heart." Ally says bringing both her hands and placing them on her heart.
All three girls broke out in to an instant laugh.
"Okay okay okay, let's go," Ally says trying to catch her breath, "they do have the best ice cream in town."
The girls linked arms and started making headway, skipping off in the direction of Coney's. Making jokes along the way that filled the silent air with their laughter. They arrived at Coney's a moment later, sitting at the bar but were still able to peer outside.
"We'd all like a banana split please," the fiery Latina orders.
Ally loved being out with her friends more than anything. Cassidy was the most like herself, except more outgoing, but she got and understood the music thing. Trish on the other hand just knew all of Ally's secrets from when they were kids to where there are now, and Ally was grateful for that because she wasn't the best at keeping her thoughts private, at least not with Trish.
Their banana splits arrived and the girls practically dove in head first, laughing and talking about everything and anything that most seventeen year old girls talk about.
After dinner the four boys rushed out of the Moon's house and into Aaron's truck. Heading into town to show Dez around.
"Austin what was dad talking about at dinner, "fix it or you're done" deal?" Aaron spoke up breaking the silence in his truck.
"The label, mom and dad all think I have an attitude problem." Austin scoffs, again rolling his eyes. He's almost grateful it's dark enough so no one could tell.
"And they decided to drag your sorry ass back here?" Logan says laughing.
"I know right? Why does everyone think Hidden Springs is going to fix whatever problem I have?" Austin complains.
"Austin, cool it." Dez says in a hushed tone. Austin looks out the window and sees the town lights not to far off.
"You used to call this home you know.." Aaron says trailing off, "We all did at one point. Well, except you Dez. But we'll show you the ropes around here."
"Or at least try too." Logan says letting out a small chuckle, earning a shove from Aaron.
"I think it's kinda neat seeing where you come from Austin." Dez quickly adds in.
"Whatever." Austin said, rolling his eyes, yet again.
This time Aaron notices, but he doesn't say anything. If anything is going to fix Austin's attitude, he's hoping it's something, or maybe even someone in this town.
"Here, I'm gonna drop you and Dez off at the square while Logan and I try and find a place to park." Aaron says stopping the truck. Austin and Dez get out of the truck and head towards the fountain in the middle of the town square.
Dez has already taken out his video camera to capture the scene around him. From the random people just passing by to Austin obviously readjusting to this place he once called home. Austin hops up on the ledge around the fountain and does this whole balancing act, then he suddenly hops back down and sits.
"Austin, Austin Moon? Is that you?" a familiar voice speaks up a few feet away from the two boys, Austin looks up from the ground.
"Dallas? No way. It's great to see you!" Austin says extending his hand out to Dallas, "This is my friend Dez from Miami. Dez this is Dallas, he's an old friend here."
"It's great to see you too man. It's been a couple years! Nice to meet you Dez. Hope Austin hasn't gotten you into too much trouble." Dallas says pointing towards Austin, who just shakes his head laughing.
"Nice to meet you Dallas, but believe it or not, that's why we're actually visiting." Dez points out, earning a glare from Austin.
"I don't doubt it, but seriously, it really is good to see you. Perfect timing too. Seeing as you're a famous star now, are you gonna be performing at the fair this weekend?" Dallas asks quickly changing the topic to Austin's fame.
"I wasn't planning on it, then again I also didn't realize the fair came into town this early on in the summer." Austin asks almost confused. "I guess it really has been awhile since I've been back," he thinks to himself.
"I'm telling you things sure have changed here and there since your last visit, but for the most part they are all still very much the same. Last time I saw the set list, I'm pretty sure I saw your brother and Logan Dawson were on there." Dallas says adding in that last bit, "Same with Cassidy, but that's no surprise."
"Of course they are." Austins says laughing, "Who do I talk to, to add my name to the set? It wouldn't hurt, I mean this is where it practically all started."
"That my friend would be Ally, or well the Dawson's in general." Dallas casually states. He must have hit a small nerve, because Austin's face was at a loss.
"You haven't seen her yet, have you?" Dallas asks with a puzzled look.
"Uhm, no..." Austin says, "We would have tonight, but I guess she had plans with her friends." Shrugging after.
"Honestly, I'm surprised she isn't locked up in the music store right now.. No worries though, I'll just shoot her a message to add you to the set list. It shouldn't be a problem." Dallas says while typing a message on his phone to send off to who Austin assumes would be Ally.
"Great.." Austin replies, "Well I see my brother and Logan heading up this way, so we'll catch ya later. Maybe we can hang out before the fair this weekend!"
"Sounds goods to me Austin. I'll shoot you a message when I hear back from Ally. I'll see ya around. Nice meeting you Dez." Dallas says as he takes off in the opposite direction waving.
The two boys start making headway towards Aaron and Logan.
"You never told me the singing and performing all started here." Dez says still filming, turning into Austin.
"It wasn't a big deal, Dez, besides everyone has to start somewhere." Austin says shrugging it off.
"And who is this Ally everyone keeps talking about?" Dez asks hoping to get some sort of answer, let alone any emotion out of Austin.
"She's the girl from across the road. She and I were, are friends. I don't know. I haven't really talked to her the last couple years." Austin says quickly shrugging it off. If he didn't know any better, it would seem like Ally was avoiding him. He really was hoping that wasn't the case though. He shook his head at that last thought.
They finally met up with the older two boys, who suggest they go to the diner and introduce Dez to the best pies in town, aside from Mimi's of course.
Cassidy looks out the window, squinting her eyes, and suddenly turns to Ally.
"Hey Als, your brother and Aaron are looking awfully fine! But when did Austin get back?" Cassidy asks raising her eyebrows. Ally rolled her eyes, and ignored her friends question.
Peaking Trish's interest, she looks out the window where Cassidy eyes were just at and turns back to her two friends.
"Spill. Now." the latina spit out.
"Uh, a few days ago I guess." Ally spat out, as she shrugs taking another bite out of her ice cream.
"And you weren't going to tell us?" a perplexed Trish asks.
"What's there to tell? I haven't seen him or his family yet. Why do you think I planned this 'girls night'?" realizing the words that just came out of her mouth, Ally's doe eyes got wide and she covered her mouth.
The two girls just stared at her in disbelief.
"So you're just going to avoid him? Hell, Als that was two summers ago. You can't seriously hold a grudge for that long. Besides everyone gets in to some form of trouble here at some point in their life." Cassidy tries to get Ally to lighten up about the subject matter. Trish just looks back and forth between the two girls.
Ally doesn't answer, because she knows Cassidy is right in the grudge aspect, but she also doesn't know what else happened that night. Trish did though. Instead Ally just looks at her phone and sees that she has a message from Dallas:
"Hey, add Austin Moon to the set list for the fair Friday night. Thx."
Great, she thought.
"I guess I really can't avoid him any longer than I already have," Ally sighs holding out her phone to the two girls.
"Well you can't say no, but you also can't keep Austin off the set list. Your parents would have added him in eventually." Trish adds in. "Give me your phone Ally." She demands.
Ally just gives her a astonishing look, but hands her phone over. No one ever wins a stare down with Trish, and she knew better to even try.
"What are you going to tell Dallas?" Ally asks almost looking worried.
Trish didn't hear Ally's question. Cassidy just went back to eating her ice cream looking pleased at the situation before her. Ally started chewing on her hair, a nervous habit of hers.
"Calm down Ally, and take your hair out of your mouth," Trish commanded, handing back Ally her phone, "All I said was 'Sure, make sure he's there at 4 for soundcheck. He goes on at 8.' See, nothing bad."
Ally looked down at the message displayed on her phone. Sure enough Trish wrote just that.
"All we need to do is get YOU to perform." Cassidy says pointing at Ally.
"Like that's gonna happen." Ally responds back rolling her eyes.
"Ally, come on. You're good. You know it. Cassidy knows. Heck, even I know it." Trish says encouragingly.
"I'll think about." Ally tries to compromise.
"Works for me." both Trish and Cassidy said in unison.
"Well girls, as fun as this night was, I really should get going." Ally says getting up and giving each girl a hug, "I'll see y'all tomorrow."
With that Ally turns and heads out the door and to her jeep. She double checks to make sure the boys aren't anywhere near. She lets out a sigh of relief when she doesn't see them. She still wasn't quite ready to see Austin just yet. Not now.
Hope y'all enjoyed it!
