Author's note: here is Austin and Ally's date!


Shredder's Beach Club (Friday night in early September)

Austin's POV

I walked into Shredder's with Ally, and we were immediately greeted by Hazel.

"Austin and Ally! Hello! Welcome to Shredder's!" she said in her overly cheerful voice.

"Hi, Hazel!" we both greeted her.

"Hey, Trish!" Ally called.

"Hi guys!" she said as she came over.

"Trish, get to work!" Hazel scolded her.

"I am working," Trish argued, "I'm going to be Austin and Ally's waitress!"

I wasn't really sure, but I think I heard Ally gulp next to me. And for a good reason! Trish is a terrible waitress.

"Fine," Hazel sighed, "you can be Austin and Ally's waitress. But don't slack off!"

"Why would I ever slack off?" Trish continued to argue, "They're my best friends! And they're on a date!"

"Aww, how romantic!" Hazel returned to speaking in her annoyingly cheerful voice, "I'll let you take care of them, Trish."

So Trish got us a table after shooing away some other customers, and she told us to "sit down, look at the menus, and order when I come back".

As soon as Trish left, Ally laughed.

"Isn't this great, Austin?"

"Having Trish as our waitress? Yeah, that's great." I replied sarcastically.

"No, I meant that we're finally on our date!" she told me happily.

"Oh yeah, it is great!"

We were about to look at our menus, and then my phone buzzed. It was the buzz for Dez, so I ignored it. Why would he even be calling me in the middle of our date? He knows it's our date.

"Austin, isn't that Dez?" Ally asked a little worriedly.

"Yeah, I'll get it later." I replied, "Don't want to interrupt our date."

"Okay," she agreed.

Trish came back.

"Alright, what are your orders?" she demanded.

"Uh, we'll have a lobster?" I replied uncertainly.

Ally nodded, so Trish went ahead and took the order.

"Ughhh, I hate working!" she sighed as she walked to the kitchen.

"Austin, I love being partners with you." Ally told me sweetly.

"Aw, I love being partners with you too!" I replied sincerely.

Ally opened her mouth to say something, then we were interrupted.

"HEY AUSTIN! ALLY!" we heard from somewhere.

I looked around, but I didn't see anyone.

Ally turned around, and she said, "Oh, it's Dez!"

Dez came over to our table.

"Austin, did you get my call?" he asked.

"Uh, we're kind of on a date, so I ignored it." I replied.

"Oh. Well, I'm here now, and I have the script for the first three scenes of my movie that we're shooting tomorrow! The first one is the scene where Ally arrives at Austin's performance in Seattle. It's the romance part of the movie, so you guys will be great."

And then he promptly left, leaving us with two scripts for the first three scenes of his movie.

"Okay then..." I said awkwardly.

"Let's look at these scripts!" Ally suggested.

"Okay," I replied and picked up one of the scripts.

Austin: Ally! You're here! I didn't think you would come!

Ally (dramatically): Oh, Austin, of course I would come for you!

Austin: I can't believe you're going to be here for the whole tour!

Ally: Oh, Austin, I wish I could stay, but I have to go back to Miami before your show ends!

Austin (desperately): No, Ally! I can't put on this show knowing that you'll be gone before it ends!

Ally (dramatically): You have to, Austin! Do it for me! I love you!

Austin: I love you too!

-Austin and Ally hug and kiss passionately-

"Yikes." Ally said by the time we read up to there.

"Is this what the whole scene's like?" I asked.

We flipped through the pages.

"Yup." Ally nodded grimly.

"This is going to be worse than I thought."

Honestly, it's not the romance that bothers me. Most of the emotions that Dez wrote in are semi-accurate, but I know that he'll want it all dramatic, and that's not how we feel about each other. It also makes it even more awkward when Dez tries to give on-set instructions.

"Lobster's here!" Trish's voice interrupts my thoughts.

"Yum!" Ally exclaims, her mind clearly off Dez's movie.

"Yum," I repeat, not really focused on the food.

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. But somehow I don't think it'll be exactly...comfortable. But I've got to take one for the team, I suppose.


Author's note: I planned to have more emotions conveyed in this chapter, but I decided to save that for the next chapter, filming Dez's movie! If you're still reading this, thank you for your support, and I hope you like it so far! If you don't constructive criticism is always appreciated! And if you have any ideas for new chapters, that would be cool too! I hope you like the next chapter, which will be out in a few days!
