Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally.
Trish had just finished helping Ally out with her nails and went downstairs to grab some water from the kitchen. On her way, she found her phone lying on the ground. She picked it up and noticed that someone was on the other line.
"Dez?" Trish asked.
"Trish is that you?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't it be me? It's my phone you nimrod."
"Because earlier when I called to tell you Dylan's evil plan to break up Austin and Ally you sounded like Austin and it turns out it was Austin an—"
"What?! Austin found out?! You idiot!"
"Why does everyone keep screaming 'what' in my ear and cutting me off?"
"Because you're a moron! Where is he now?! I haven't seen him in the house!"
"Well, he just screamed, 'What?! He is so dead to me!' and then you picked up. I have no idea where he is. He could be any— Oh there he is."
"Where?!"
"He's running full speed towards me. Hi Austin!" Dez waved enthusiastically at Austin.
"You nincompoop! Stop him! Stop him now! He's definitely going to Dylan's house! You can't let him do anything reckless! I'm on my way!" Trish bolted for the door and speed walked to where the boys were.
"Hey, Austin!"
"Out of my way Dez." Austin ran past Dez, barely even glancing at him.
Dez ran after Austin and without thinking, tackled him. "Wait!"
The boys tumbled on the sand. Dez was sitting on top of Austin holding his hands back. "This is for your own good buddy."
Austin grunted, struggling, trying to free himself from Dez's grip. "Let me go Dez! I'm going to crazy murder that fake jerk!"
"I can't let you do that dude."
"Why?! He's just using Ally! Do you want to see Ally hurt?!"
"Of course not, that's the last thing I want! But you can't go barging into his house and beating him up. You're not a thug Austin. We've got to think of a more reasonable approach."
"Since when have you been reasonable Dez?"
"Since now, but it's most likely a one-time thing. Unreasonable is my nickname after all." Dez said with a proud grin.
"Yeah, it's hard to imagine you being completely reasonable. I mean there was that one time you stopped eating seafood because you thought the fish talked to you and that you were a merman. It was— Hey! You're distracting me! Get off of me!" Austin continued to squirm.
"Not a chance man." Dez held Austin's hands tighter behind his back. "I've been working out so I'm a little stronger. And you've been eating all those pancakes so you're a bit chubby in the tummy."
"I am not!"
Dez laughed as Austin relentlessly struggled. He was thrashing about and groaning, sand was flying all over the place. After a few minutes of constant thrashing, Trish finally arrived at the scene.
"What took you so long?" Dez asked. "Did you walk?"
Trish wiped the non-existent sweat off her brow. "I speed walked, duh. It's faster than normal walking."
"You could've run! I was here holding Austin down all by myself. I think I swallowed some sand."
"Well, good, all you need to do now is swallow a witch and you've eaten a sandwich."
"Alright then, I guess I'll just eat you. You are a witch right?"
Trish growled, ready to pounce on Dez for his comment.
"I'd hate to break up this comical and idiotic banter, but would you please GET OFF OF ME!" Austin violently writhed.
"Not a chance!" Trish helped Dez hold Austin down even more. "Look, you can't suddenly go into someone's house and beat the living daylights out of them."
"Watch me!" Austin was strong; Dez and Trish were starting to get a little tired.
"Think about Ally! How would she feel if she knew you beat up Dylan again? She doesn't know anything about Dylan's plan yet. She'd be sad and upset."
Austin went silent. He stopped thrashing about and just lay on the sand. There he goes again, doing something out of instinct. He was thinking more about his pride and how he was right about Dylan rather than thinking about how Ally would feel about all of this. Austin took a deep breath and calmed himself.
"Okay, I was wrong to go on a rampage. I was just angry and thinking about myself."
"I'm sure you were thinking about Ally too. You wanted to protect her. We all do." Trish said. "We'll figure something out, together. Because Dez and I love Ally too and we never want to see her hurt."
"Awww, group hug!" Dez extended his arms for the hug.
"Sure, if you could stop sitting on me first Dez." Austin said.
"Oh right, sorry dude." Dez got up and helped Austin to his feet.
The three friends hugged and Austin felt a whole lot better. He needed a hug from his friends. After a few seconds they let go.
"So what are we going to do?" Austin asked.
"First, let's get back to the house. I just speed walked all over here and I'm tired plus it's really hot." Trish said whilst fanning herself.
Back at the house, they secretly watched the contents of Dez's video. Ally was upstairs, still freaking out about her date.
When the video ended, Austin spoke up first. "I don't understand what they would benefit from if they manage to destroy the friendship between Ally and I."
"Maybe we could ask Dylan." Dez suggested.
Trish rolled her eyes at Dez's naivety, or maybe it was stupidity. "Sure, and while we're at it we'll ask for a written apology and a box of chocolates."
"That sounds great!"
Trish slapped the back of Dez's head. "I was being sarcastic you imbecile. He's not going to want to apologize that easily."
"Austin, she's bullying me!" Dez whined.
"Enough guys, we've got to do something. Ally needs to see this."
"Ally needs to see what?"
"ALLY!" All three of them said at the same time.
Their sudden yelling surprised Ally. "WHAT?! WHY ARE WE YELLING?"
Austin stood up and distracted Ally while Dez turned off the TV. "Hey, Ally. What's up?"
"I came down to get a glass of water. What did you guys want me to see?"
"Uh, there was a baby sea turtle outside. It looked so cute and it reminded me of you."
"Aww, really?" Ally looked out the window to get a glimpse. Lucky for Austin, it was actually sea turtle hatching season so there were baby sea turtles toddling towards the ocean. "I see them! They're so cute!"
"Wow, that is so lucky. Remind me to bring Austin along whenever there's a raffle or something." Trish said.
"I'm going to go out and check them out. Want to come?" Ally asked Austin.
"I'll be out in a second. You go ahead."
"Okay."
"What happened to telling Ally about Dylan?" Trish asked.
"I panicked okay. I thought about how Ally would react and how she'd be really sad and start crying. I just… I hate seeing Ally sad."
"We all do, but it's better for her to find out now rather than later."
"Yeah, I'll go get Ally."
"And I'll get the tissues ready." Trish went to the kitchen to grab a box.
Austin paced himself as he walked out to the shore. Ally was sitting on the sand, a smile fixed on her face as she watched the sea turtles waddle on the sand. A small blush painted Austin's cheeks. He couldn't help himself, Ally was just so adorable.
"Austin, come look with me." Ally gestured for Austin to come sit next to her. "Isn't it wonderful, seeing them work so hard to get to the water?"
"Y-yeah." Austin knew that the minute Ally found out, the smile she had right now would be wiped off her perfect face. "Hey, Ally. Metaphorically speaking, if we weren't watching these turtles some of them might not make it into the sea. They'd get eaten by seagulls or something right?"
"Wow, that's negative thinking Austin."
"I'm just saying, metaphorically, how would you feel?"
"Well, of course I'd be sad. But it's all a part of life, some make it and some don't. Sometimes, good things happen to you and sometimes bad things make you really upset. Nevertheless, it's not good to stay sad forever. You've got to accept things and know when to move on." Ally fiddled with the sand. The last of the turtles made it to the sea and swam away. "Wait, are we still talking about turtles?"
"Kind of, there's something else I need to show you." Austin stood up and offered his hand to help Ally up. "Let's get back."
Austin's hand was still firmly holding Ally's as he softly dragged her to the house. Ally didn't know what it was but the way Austin was holding her hand was comforting. She didn't understand why but she did have a hunch that after seeing what he was about to show her, she's going to need a lot of comforting.
At the house, Dez and Trish were already waiting for them. The four went inside and sat around the television. The atmosphere in the living room was tense. Ally could feel something was about to happen. Ally sat in the middle of the sofa with Trish and Austin on either side of her. Dez was near the TV ready to hit play.
"Whatever happens, just know that we're all here for you." Trish said as she took Ally's hand.
"Uh, okay…" Ally did not know what to expect.
Austin nodded to Dez and he played the video. It felt like an eternity for Austin, Dez and Trish as they watched the video again. As the truth became clear, Ally didn't know what to think. Her expression changed from confusion, to disbelieve and finally sadness in the timespan of the video. And by the end of it she was on the verge of tears. Her heart hurt, it was painful. She couldn't hold her sadness anymore as a small tear made its way down her cheek.
"I can't… It's not true… I mean, why…?" Ally somehow couldn't come up with a proper sentence to say. Her mind was empty, her heart was broken. "No…" She stood up and put her head down, trying to hide the increasing amount of tears that had formed in her eyes.
"Ally?" Austin put his hands on her shaking shoulders.
"It's a lie. He would never do something like that."
"Ally, the proof is as clear as day," said Trish.
"I refuse to believe this!" Ally was in denial. She ran straight for the door. But before she could leave, Austin grabbed her arm.
"Who are you going to believe? Some guy you just met who clearly doesn't really like you and has lied to you this entire time? Or your best friends, the people that would never lie to you or hurt you in any way possible. We care about you Ally, which is why we are never going to let that jerk hurt you again."
Ally started crying even harder as she embraced Austin. She cried into his chest, letting all the tears flow like waterworks. Austin was a little caught by surprise, but he soon held Ally tight, tighter than he's ever held anyone. Dez, of course, seized the chance and recorded everything that going on.
"What are you doing?!" Trish whispered to Dez.
"I'm just recording this beautiful moment for future reference. Like their wedding or something."
"Stop it, you're ruining the moment!" Trish tried to grab the camera from Dez.
"I'm sorry…" Ally managed to murmur. This caused Trish and Dez to stop in their tracks. "I'm sorry I doubted you guys, my best friends because I was clouded by the feeling of liking someone. Dylan played me and I was about to choose his side over you guys. Will you ever forgive me?"
"Oh Ally, of course we will." Trish smiled at her best friend.
"Aww, group hug!" The four best friends hugged it out. A smiled stretched on each of their faces.
"Thank you guys, I feel a lot better now." Ally took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes.
"Great! Now on to business." Trish popped her knuckles and smirked.
"Business?" Ally asked.
"You may have felt a little better but I'm not satisfied. Time for a little something I like to call, revenge."
Cue evil laugh and lighting and fog. BUWAHAHAHAHAHA! Trish isn't going to hold back on her revenge.
Isn't friendship just beautiful? :')
Tell me what you think? :)
