I don't own Austin and Ally...I just watch it on tv and on my computer.

Summer of Love and Loss

Chapter Ten: Week One As Austin Moon's Girlfriend

Erik dropped them off at the aquarium on his way to work, Ally couldn't help but think that he had the strangest work schedule ever. Ally assured him that they'd have a fun day and that they'd find a ride home at eleven thirty, not that it was going to be difficult since Austin was working his normal hours since his coworker Joey returned from his vacation. Erik gave them money for lunch and agreed that Micah could go over to his friend Levi's house after the aquarium.

Austin and the other counselors were gathered in the aquarium's main hallway. The red-headed girl at the registration table handed Micah a packet and a name tag with a sky blue sticker on it. "Your counselor is Austin Moon, he'll be wearing a shirt the color of the sticker on your name tag. Please enjoy your day here at the Grover Beach Aquarium."

"What are you going to be doing Ally?" Micah asked as they walked over to where Austin stood.

"Austin said he arranged something for me to do but he didn't exactly say what it was." Ally answered loving the way Austin looked in his sky blue polo and beige cargo shorts. Ally's brow furrowed when she saw that his hair was messier than normal and that he looked rather sick. He greeted her with a hug and a kiss on the forehead. "You look like you've been hit by a truck, are you okay?"

"Its nothing I can't handle." Austin said stepping out of their embrace and picking up his clipboard. He checked something off and turned to Micah. "Are you ready to have fun buddy?"

"Yeah." Micah said excitedly. Austin tried and failed to hide his wince.

"Alright well you can go stand over there with my cousin Ellie while we wait for everybody else to show up." Austin said pointing to the small girl with long golden blonde hair. He waited until Micah was introducing himself to Ellie before turning back to face Ally. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're hungover." Ally said quietly.

"Its no big deal Ally." He shrugged.

"What did you do last night?" Ally asked worried about the answer.

"I went to the cove to hang out with Zack and Troy. We got wasted and acted like a bunch of idiots but Dez and Kelsey assure me that I didn't do anything that would result in the loss of my incredibly beautiful girlfriend." Austin said wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her to him. She relaxed in his arms. "So I have something for you."

"What is it?" Ally asked.

Austin took her by the hand over to the bench where Micah and Ellie were now sitting. He set his clipboard down and picked up the dark blue t-shirt. On the front it had the aquarium's logo with the word 'volunteer' underneath it and on the back it had a picture of a whale.

"You're this week's volunteer." Austin said with a smile. "Every counselor has one volunteer to help them out and you're mine this week."

"Do I have to fill something out?" Ally asked taking the shirt from Austin.

"I got that covered already."Austin said. More kids started showing up. "Wait here with them while I get these other kids checked off."

After lunch they dropped Micah off at his friend's house and headed down to the beach to meet up with the others. Kelsey and Dez smiled when they saw that Ally was wearing the aquarium volunteer t-shirt, they too had been volunteers. Zack and Troy looked as bad if not worse than Austin had in the morning but they didn't let their hangovers stop them from surfing.

"What age group did you have?" Kelsey asked when Austin and Ally sat down beside her.

"Seven to nine year olds." Austin answered.

"Lucky." Kelsey said to Ally. "When he roped me into volunteering we had the four to six year olds."

"When I volunteered I had the same age group as Ally. The kids laughed when Austin had to pull one of the starfish off of my face." Dez said smiling.

Austin grabbed the sunscreen from Kelsey's tote and peeled off his shirt. When he turned to hand Ally the sunscreen he found that she was staring at him with her mouth hanging open. At his wink she turned a deep shade of red and refused to meet his eye. Smirking he kissed her temple before running off to join Zack and Troy in the water. After a while both Ally and Kelsey had yet to get into the water so he and Dez devised a plan to get them into the water. Austin walked up to where Ally lay writing in her songbook, she didn't notice him until he had picked her up.

"Austin!" She shrieked as he carried her toward the water. "What are you doing?"

"Taking you for a swim." Austin laughed as her eyes widened with realization.

"Don't you dare drop me Austin Moon!" Ally said wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

He did it anyway, he dropped her in the deeper part of the water. Austin laughed at the glare she gave him when she surfaced. She couldn't pull off the angry look and she looked adorable as she ranted. He took her by the waist and cut off her rant by kissing her full on the lips. At first she stood there shocked but after it wore off she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

"I'm still upset." She mumbled.

"No you're not." Austin said confidently.

"Get your hands off of me Carrot Top!" They heard Kelsey snarl.

Ally found that her first week as Austin Moon's girlfriend had been the best week of her life. On Tuesday evening Austin drove them to a neighboring city for a carnival on the pier. Kelsey and Dez took off in their own directions leaving Austin, Ally, and Micah to do their own thing. Austin won Ally a stuffed whale and bought Micah the biggest thing of cotton candy. They rode all of the rides and shortly after they had gotten off of the roller coaster Dez and Kelsey showed up to take Micah off of their hands. The ferris wheel was where they went, Austin surprised her by kissing her senseless as they rode. On Wednesday night they watched a movie on the beach. Ally spent the entire time sitting on Austin's lap with he absentmindedly played with her hair. On Thursday they had a lazy game day at his house, they played every board game Austin owned plus a lot of multiplayer video games. She just sat on the couch and watched them play Just Dance 2. Friday Ally watched them rehearse for Saturday's gig and later Austin drove Ally and Micah to the airport to pick up her father and best friend.

"I just hope their flight isn't delayed." Ally said as she intertwined her fingers with Austin's. She looked up into his eyes and sighed, "I'm sorry that our dates keep getting interrupted and that we always seem to have a guest."

"Don't worry about it." Austin said as they sat down in a couple of chairs. "This week has been blissfully perfect."

"It has." Ally said smiling into the kiss Austin placed on her lips.

Austin wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she leaned her head on his shoulder. Micah and Austin talked about the video game Micah was playing while Ally just closed her eyes and listened to the sound of her boyfriend's voice. Lyrics floated around in her head and she really couldn't believe how inspiring hearing Austin's voice in her ear was.

"Allyson Dawson!" Trish's voice snapped her out of her daze. Ally opened her eyes and smiled at the sight of the curly haired Latina making her way over to where they sat with Ally's dad on her heals. Ally stood up from her seat and met her friend in the middle almost tripping as she did. "Is that him?"

"Yes that's Austin." Ally smiled.

"He makes Dallas look ugly." Trish said.

"Ally." Her dad said huffing and puffing.

"Daddy." Ally squealed throwing her arms around him.

Austin and Micah joined them and Ally noticed that Trish was staring wide-eyed at Austin. "Oh Daddy this is Austin my boyfriend. Austin this is my dad."

"Its nice to meet you Mr. Dawson." Austin said shaking hands with her father in a way that Ally hadn't seen.

"I hope you are treating my daughter well because I'm not to fond of my daughter dating after what happened with that Dallas kid." Lester said.

"Don't worry sir I can assure you that I am nothing like that boy." Austin said confidently.

"You better not be or I'll hack you to pieces." Trish said.

"So what convention are you here for sir?"

"The Summer Medley Music Fest at the Sea Venture Resort." Lester answered.

"Oh my band is playing there tomorrow." Austin said leading them out to the jeep.

"I look forward to hearing you play."
