Okay guys. So I know that this is super super super super late. And my excuse is this.

1. Friendship drama. It's hard being a girl.

2. Writer's block. CURSE YOU GOD OF WRITER'S BLOCK

3. BEING BUSY. My parents want me to freaking take the SAT. And I am 13. So here I am studying high school math alone in my room.

Also, I also wrote a little Percabeth one-shot, just because I wanted to try it. It's a little cheesy, but if you want to check it out, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm really sorry I haven't updated this one, though. And for those of you who wanted me to update.. I'm flattered that you guys care about this story. I want to thank simranm, BrandyyElizabeth, and all the rest of you for your reviews and support. It means so much to me.

This is a really short chapter, because I didn't have a lot of time tonight. I'll try to update soon :)


Sunlight streamed in through the windows of the practice room, cocooning Ally in a warm hug. She stared at the piano keys, resisted the urge to reach out and touch them. She didn't need another song about unrequited love to add to the steadily growing collection in her book. Another song she'd never be able to show Austin.

Ally sat there lazily; it was a Saturday afternoon, and she had nothing better to do than hang around up here while her dad watched the store for once. As she let her conflicted emotions swirl around her, she did not notice someone opening the door. Tiptoeing in.

However, she did notice when that someone jabbed a long, French-tipped fingernail into her back.

"AAH!" Ally jumped up in surprise. "Trish! What the-"

"Thinking about Austin again?" asked Trish, smirking a little.

"How long have you even been here?"

"Stop avoiding the question. Ally, you need help. I know you already vetoed my plan involving Dez's clown shoes, the taxi, and vanilla ice cream without sprinkles. But I have another one!"

"I'm not sabotaging Austin's relationship."

"Yes, that's the beauty of the plan! It's me who will be doing the sabotaging."

With a little sigh, Ally pushed up off of her chair. "Trish. I appreciate you caring about me, but Austin and I are just friends. And it's going to stay that way."

"Sure," said Trish distractedly, her mind already forming a new scheme. "Whatever you say."


Rachel and Austin were at movie theater, watching a chick flick- well, at least Rachel was watching it while Austin snuck in some nap time.

At the end of the movie, Rachel shook Austin awake. "Come on, sleepyhead!" He walked out of the theater with her groggily

"Sorry if that bored y


ou," Rachel said. "I loved it."

"It did bore me. Kids movies are better than that junk."

"You would say that. You even saw the Lorax," said Rachel with a grin.

"Man, that's probably the only good movie Zac Efron has ever been in- hey, how did you know I saw the Lorax?"

"Um, well, because- Hey Austin, want to get some ice cream?"

"Yes!" said Austin (predictably), oblivious to his girlfriend's moment of discomfort, and they walked off together.


*Trish's POV* Ally's my best friend. And that means that, even though I may not be the most respectful person (and my bosses can attest to that) I respect her needs.

Most of the time.

Right now, though, it's hurting me to see her like this. I've known forever that she likes Austin.. now I know that she loves him, and I have to do something about this. Like, now.

I mean, seriously. Austin gets mad every time I crack a dumb blonde joke, but if he was smart enough, he would see what Ally needs is him, and what he needs is her. It's been that way all along, right?

They just need to realize it.


As I said.. Really short. Don't be mad! I love you guys! Will update soon :) less than 3
