Okay, NOW you can read on! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally

"Hey Dez!" I greeted, stopping by his locker, or rather, an array of his bizarre things. I smiled at him, but something strange happened.

His eyes were getting as large as Austin's mumbo jumbo, super sized pancakes. Slowly, but clumsily, he backed up, pointing a finger at me. He knocked over some people while he was moving, but he kept on going. By this time, some of the students standing nearby quieted down, watching us. Even though I had lost my stage fright, I was uncomfortable under their stares.

"Dez, what's wrong? You seem jumpy today." I waited for a response, but he just stared right into my eyes, his gaze unfaltering.

"You're Ally Dawson. AHHH!" And with that, he screamed like a girl, and ran around the school, screaming at the top of his lungs.

I stood there, shocked. He knew that I was the Ally Dawson, but he never did this before. However, I shrugged it off and walked to my locker. While I was there, Alicia came running up to me.

"Ally, are you okay?" Alicia came running toward me. "I heard someone scream!"

"Am I okay? Is Dez okay? He ran from me like I was a ghost or celebrity. But I'm fine." I assured her.

"Really? Huh, what else did he say?" I closed my locker and started walking to class; Alicia followed.

"Um, not much. After that, he ran away screaming; that's what you heard." I explained.

"Oh, okay." We were silent while we were walking toward class.

"Hey Ally, is it okay if you could help me put some of my art in the hall? Mrs. Renwo said that I have to do it today, and there's so much to do!" I nodded.

"But won't we be late for class?" I asked her.

"Oh no, I got us some hall passes. See?" She held them up.

"Come on, let's go!" She started dragging me toward the art room.

Once we got there, she shut the door. "Oh wait," She exclaimed, "I forgot the key to the closet door! I'll be right back." She ran out, not waiting for my response. However, I heard a distinct 'click!' from the door. I was locked in.

"Hey Ally!" A voice said. I jumped, calming down once I realized that it was only Elliot.

"Hey Elliot; you scared me!" I walked over, taking a seat next to him, trying to look at what he was doing.

"What are you doing?" He shoved his project that he was working on into his backpack when I tried to look at what he was doing. However, he hid it from me.

"Um, just a- um, a school project, you know! Well, I gotta go!" he hurriedly stuffed his work in his bag, and sped out the door, clumsily unlocking the door. At least I was free. I had forgotten about unlocking the door from the inside.

I looked down, seeing that Elliot dropped something. It was a tissue paper rose. Confused, I chased after him, calling his name out in the halls, trying to stay as quiet as possible, with no success.

"Ally!" I looked around for the voice. It was Harmony, who was dragging Aaron along.

"Hey Harmony; what are you doing here? I thought everyone was in class?"

"Hey, have you seen Austin?" She asked, out of breath, ignoring my question.

"Um, no, but he has chemistry next, so-" I got interrupted yet again.

"Oh, that's cool! I need to talk to him! Bye!" And then she dashed to the chemistry lab.

"Man, and I thought I was athletic!" Aaron put his hands on his knees, out of breath. "Let me go catch up to her! See ya!" Then, he ran after her, nearly knocking over a few people, who were just getting out of class.

I stood there, people pushing past me, wondering why Alicia, Elliot, Harmony, and Aaron were acting this way. However, the sound of the warning bell jerked me to reality, and I hurried toward class.


"Hey Ally!" I closed my locker shut, seeing Austin leaning on the locker next to mine. I smiled, giving him a hug, which he returned.

"Hey Austin." I said once we pulled apart. "I'm really sorry about yesterday and, you know." I giggled awkwardly.

"Um, yeah, it was just in the moment. I shouldn't have done that." He muttered something under his breath.

"What was that?" I asked. He looked up,

"Oh, it was nothing." I wanted to ask more, but his tone said otherwise. I dropped the subject.

"Well, I need to go home. I'll see you later? We can write a song at my house tonight; my dad's out of town for a few days for a harmonica convention. We won't be interrupted this time." I half-smiled, referring to what happened last night.

"Yeah, that's good. Bye Ally!" Again, he gave one of his famous 'Austin Moon' hugs.

But it was different from the other hugs. We held on to each other, neither of us wanting to let go, for fear that we might lose each other, in the blink of an eye.

And this time, I noticed something that I hadn't before.

There were sparks.

And I loved it.


Ding!

The sound of the bell jingled as I entered into Melody Diner. I sat down at a booth, pulling out some of my school books. I often came here when I wanted to have some time alone, working on my homework without being distracted.

"Hey Ally, what can I get you? You might like, today's soup!" Cassidy sang out, popping in front of me. I giggled and asked her for the usual, pickles and fruity mint swirl. I got the ice cream here sometimes, because they had music note sprinkles.

Soon after, she came back with my order. It was quiet in here at this time of day, so she sat next to me.

"How's the secret admirer deal going?" Cassidy asked. She often asked about this first.

"It's going great. The next rose has a surprise, so I'm excited for that."

"Cool." We were silent for a while, the only sound coming from the kitchen and my pencil scratching out my math homework.

"Hey, since no one's here, do you want to come in the kitchen with me? Mindy's not here now, so we'll be fine." I nodded, picking up my stuff.

When she opened the door, there was only two other people inside, one cooking, and the other cleaning. We sat down at a table afar off from them for some privacy.

When we got to the table, something was on top of it, covered by a sheet, which was labeled with a sticky note, saying, 'TOP SECRET'

"Don't peek inside the box, okay Ally?" Cassidy said, pointing to the object.

"Okay, but what's so secretive about it?" I asked.

"I can't tell. I would, but then I would be breaking a promise." She said, moving it somewhere else. When she moved, the sheet lifted just slightly, and I saw some cupcakes inside.

"What's so secretive about cupcakes, Cass?" I asked her. She saw where I was looking a quickly pulled the sheet down.

"Hey, no peeking Ally. I'd love to tell you, but I really can't now. I'm really sorry." She apologized, putting the cupcakes away.

"It's all right." I wanted to ask more, but seeing that Cassidy would never tell me, I got up, noticing the time.

"Hey, I have to go to Starr Records. I need to check a song with Kira and Kevin. I'll see you around Cassidy!" I waved, and was about to exit out of the back door, but she stopped me.

"Are you leaving because you're mad? I mean, I really can't tell you, but you'll find out about the cupcakes soon." She asked in a low tone, so that the other employees wouldn't hear. I shook my head.

"No, not at all. It's okay. I'll see you around. Bye" I smiled reassuringly, and dashed out the back door, being careful to watch out for Mindy.

Thankfully, I got to Starr Records in time, and I checked in at the desk. Immediately, I walked into Jimmy's office, knocking quietly before entering.

"Jimmy? Is it okay if I come in?" I asked, seeing that he was working with a client.

"I'm busy now; are you here for the song?" He asked,sitting back in his chair.

"Yes sir, I am." I responded.

"Okay then, Kira and Kevin are in studio 3B. You can ahead and meet them. I might not be able to work with you today, but Kira will take care of it. Are you okay with this?" He informed.

"Yes sir. I can go up now?" He nodded, and I left, closing the door softly behind me.

"3B. Here I am." I looked up to confirm that this was the right studio, and I knocked, a little loudly.

When I heard no response, I tried the doorknob, but it was locked. I knocked again, calling to Kira.

"Kira? It's me, Ally!" I heard a commotion inside.

"Just a minute!" Iheard whispered voices inside.

Curious, I leaned into the door, putting my ear on it.

"We have to hide him!" A voice whisper-yelled urgently.

"Yeah, but where?" Another voice said.

"Wait, Ally's out there?" A third voice said.

"Yes, now we need to hide you! Then your plans will be ruined!"

"How about I distract her while you get him somewhere else?" A fourth voice said.

"Yeah, but she doesn't know that you're here." The third voice said.

"Here, I'll do it. Move to another studio while I'm gone." The first voice said. I heard footsteps inside, and one pair was coming toward the door. I quickly stepped back, fixing my hair behind my ear.

Finally, the door opened. Kira stepped out quickly, and she shut the door before I could peek inside.

"Oh, you're here Ally! Come on, let's talk outside! It's kinda hot in here, isn't it?" She quickly led me outside, which was strange, since it was the North Pole in here.

"Okay..." I reluctantly stepped outside with her.

"Yeah, so Dad said he likes the song! You can come next week to record the song with Austin. No questions? Okay! I think my dad's calling me! Bye!" She slammed the door, leaving me outside with my mouth open.

Today was certainly a strange day.


I closed the door of my room. Austin and I had just finished writing another song, and he just left. Today had been interesting. I sighed, walking over to my desk.

Everybody was acting strange. I sat there, thinking of reasons why everyone was avoiding me. I came up with none.

After thinking, I pulled out my book from a drawer. When I pulled it out though, something fell on the floor. It was another letter. I looked in the drawer, and saw a peach rose.

Forgetting about the events that day and my book, I opened the letter.

Dear Ally, This is the twelfth rose! We have come so far, and I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.

This is the twelfth rose, so I'm giving you a surprise. I thought that I would tell you at the end of this adventure, but I've seen your positive reactions to these roses and decided to tell you the surprise.

I, Austin Monica (Hey, I see you laughing!) Moon, is completely and totally in love with you.

I was the one who gave you these letters.

I was the one who gave you the roses.

I was, and am, your Secret Admirer.

Yes, I admit it. I know that you're probably shocked, but I really do love you.

Let this sink in.

I love everything about you Ally. All of the things I said in the previous letters are true.

Every little thing I love about you is very adorkable. Like: chewing on your hair when you're nervous, when you get lost in the music you play, how you love love, how protective you are of your Book, and many, many more.

Even your personality I love! I would list them here, but I think you know what they are, based on the previous letters.

Now, on to the rose. It's a peach color, and it means "Let's get together" Now, this could mean the literal, or the figurative way. In this case, I mean both. Let me explain each of them.

I'll explain the literal meaning first. I'd like to meet up with you somewhere, Ally, to talk about what's happened there past few days. Thing is, you'll have to find me. I'll leave a clue of where I am at the end of this letter.

Now, the figurative meaning. I know that you can't see me now, but I really want to be known as your boyfriend. I know that you know enough about me to decide. Just remember that I love you, and I'll wait for forever for you, because you're worth it.

Now, for the clue. I'll leave you small notes at each place that I'll lead you to. Each note will have a clue where to go next to find me.

The first place you must go to is where we first met. You can go next morning, 'cause you'll need all the rest you can get.

Happy Hunting!

Love,

Your Secret Admirer, Austin Monica (Don't. Laugh. Again.) Moon

I smiled until my face hurt. It was Austin Moon! I chuckled, thinking about his middle name. I didn't know if I loved him yet, but I knew that he shared the same feelings as I do now. Glancing at the clock, I realized that it was getting late.

When I climbed into bed, I placed the letter beside me, so it could be the first thing that I saw when I wake up. I stared at the letter for a while, wondering why a guy like Austin, an internet sensation, would fall for me, a normal girl who loves writing songs.

I drifted off to sleep, thinking of Austin and the possibilities of tomorrow's adventure, both the good, and bad.

(A/N): Finally! I guess you people are screaming now, jumping up and down in the car, in your bed, or at the table. (Oh, and for those tall people out there in beds, do NOT jump on the bed, no matter how much you want to. You might get a concussion.) Did you guys like it? This is only a part of the twist. :) You'll find out more about the twist in the next chapter.

Oh, and thank you guys for the AH-MAZING reviews!

Special thanks to:

RedLife, mikamimi-R5, Sam, MakeYourOwnLuck11, launi9, JoeyJar99, and xoRossxoRikerxo! I loved everyone's reviews, but you guys made me keep the review emails in my inbox, and I would go over them, reading them over and over again! Thank you guys so much!

So, I'd like to give a special preview of the next chapter, just for fun. ;)

"I only did it for fun. No one really likes you, and your reactions to those letters were priceless!" He said, laughing. I ran out of the room, tears streaming down my face. I ran all the way home, but when I crossed one of the streets, something hit me. I screamed, falling to the ground. The last thing I heard before blacking out was the sirens in the distance.

Until next time! :D
