The next day, Ally was at the airport, a good hour before Austin's flight was expected to arrive. She nervously waited for him. Every so often she'd try to casually glance around the airport to see if there was anyone with a camera or appeared to be watching her. But the airport seemed deserted for the most part so Ally, relaxed herself a bit. Ally checked her Tweeter account on her phone for the tenth time since she's been waiting at the airport. She was still getting a combination of positive and negative Twits. And this time it looked like more than one person decided to join the bandwagon that was against 'Auslly' and thought she wasn't a good girlfriend for Austin. She sub-consciously let out a depressed sigh.

"Ally?" she heard a voice from behind her say.

Ally turned in her seat to find it was Dallas who uttered her name, "Hi Dallas," she said more cheerful, "what are you doing here?"

"I'm supposed to be picking up my grandmother, she has a flight coming in, in a half-hour. What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm here to see Austin," Ally said, "he was in California for a bit and I thought it would be nice to greet him. Trish and Dez would have come too but they were too busy with other plans," She tried to make it sound like she wasn't there in a girlfriend kind of way.

"Oh right, he was on the Gray Deno Tonight Show," Dallas said, taking a seat beside her. "Um…I didn't know you two were going out…" he added awkwardly, "I kinda always got the feeling you had a thing for me…heheh guess that was pretty stupid and over-confident of me to think…"

"No! no, it wasn't," Ally quickly said as she gently placed her hand on his arm, she then lowered her voice in precaution, to say, "Austin and I are just pretending to date because he was getting bad press about being unpopular with girls. So Trish, Dez and I devised this silly plan for me to be his girlfriend to show that he was actually a good guy. I did really like you Dallas!"

" 'Did' as in pass-tense, right?" he asked.

Ally's mouth opened to say that she still does like him but something was stopping her from saying those words and lying to his face.

Dallas just smiled at Ally's confusion and then shrugged, "It's alright, I'll get over it. I'm just glad we can still be friends." Then his phone buzzed; he pulled it out and made a funny expression at what he just read on it, "My parents should NOT have given my grandmother a cell phone. I think she's trying to say that her plane arrived early. I guess I better look for her then. It was nice seeing you Ally. Good luck with the Austin thing." He gave her a quick hug then left.

Ally sat alone in the airport now, confused with her emotions. Why couldn't she tell Dallas that she still really liked him? Why didn't he give her those nervous butterfly feeling he normally gave her. And why didn't she say something totally, utterly embarrassing and ridiculous? Well she did tell him about her and Austin's fake relationship which probably did sound a bit ridiculous but it was the truth.

Meanwhile, on the plane back to Miami, Austin was talking with Cassidy.

Before the plane had taken off, Austin heard a surprised female voice say, "Blondie?"

Austin jerked his head up from his phone and saw Cassidy, "Cassidy? What are you doing here?"

"Well, my band is taking a break for a bit so I thought, I'd go back to Miami for a bit and visit some old friends. I'm coming from a connecting flight that flew from LA," then she gave him a slight smirk, "still wanna go on that date?"

"Uh…I can't…I…"Austin stuttered.

She laughed and took the seat beside him. "It's alright, I saw you on the Tonight Show. So you've got a girlfriend now, huh? Too impatient to wait for me?" she said in a teasing way.

"No! Cassidy, it's not like that!" burst Austin but then realized he should bring his voice down to a whisper to avoid any unwanted ears listening to their conversation, he continued, "I'm not actually dating Ally, we're just pretending to date for some good press."

She narrowed her eyes at him, "sell out," she accused.

Austin adverted his eyes to the ground in guilt.

Cassidy chuckled, "I'm kidding, it's alright I get it, you're still kinda new to the music industry so you wanna make yourself look good. Can't have bad press making you look ridiculous now can we?"

Austin then relaxed himself, and shook his head. "But maybe when this whole thing blows over we can have that date?" he whispered.

Cassidy just smiled, "It's sweet that you're keeping to your previous commitments but are you sure you're still gonna want to go on a date with me by then?"

"What are you talking about of course I - " but Austin couldn't complete his sentence. For some reason he felt like that was the dishonest thing to say. Sure, he wanted to see Cassidy again, she was a cool girl to hang out with but to go on a date with her? He felt like he would be betraying Ally, even if they weren't going out.

"I saw the way you looked when you talked about her to Gray Deno," said Cassidy, "don't tell me that was acting 'cause NO ONE is that good of an actor."

"Oh yeah?" said Austin, "and what exactly did I look like?"

"Like a love sick puppy," she replied.

"Shut up," said Austin smiling and giving her a light shove, "You don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh but I do, Blondie," Cassidy said, "because you once gave me that same look when we were working at that diner."

Austin just blushed.

"My boyfriend's love sick look is priceless too, though. Before we started going out, I would catch him looking at me with this dazed look on his face while he chewed on his lower lip, I started to get worry that he might cause it to bleed one day," Cassidy said.

"Wait, you have a boyfriend now?" Austin said, "And you still tried to see if I wanted to go on that date?"

Cassidy laughed, "Relax, Moon, I was only kidding around with you. Like I said, I saw you on the Tonight Show and knew you had a thing going on with Ally."

"You're terrible," Austin said jokingly.

"I know," Cassidy said, rolling her eyes.

"So what's you're boyfriend like?" Austin asked, curious now.

"He's actually, a bit like you," she answered.

"Really?"

"Yeah, but he's way cooler."

"Impossible"

For the rest of the plane ride the two talked about what has happened since they had last seen each other. Where they were in their music, the obstacles they've had to endure and their successes, that kind of stuff. Before they knew it, the plane was landing in Miami.

"It was good seeing you again, Austin," Cassidy said as they waited to retrieve their bags.

"Yeah, same to you," he replied.

Cassidy spotted her bag first and grabbed it, "Well, I said I'd go meet up with a couple of friend so I've got to go, but maybe I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, for sure," said Austin.

"Cool, see you later then, Blondie," Cassidy leaned in and they hugged, then she left.

When Austin spotted his suitcase, he picked it out and made his way through the airport. Sure enough there was Ally waiting for him. She was looking beautiful, as always, as she stood waiting for him, dressed in her floral, summer dress. She smiled at him and he dropped his bags and started running towards her. He took her in his arms and swung her around. When he put her down he held her for a long embrace. "Could it be true?" Austin thought to himself as he held her close to him, "Is Cassidy right? Am I really in love with Ally?"
