They went to eat pizza after his concert that night, just the two of them, because Dez and Trish both had to get home. "Okay, Austin, when I eat pizza, I always wear extra protective socks." She said, not sounding like she was joking as they walked into the pizza restaurant.
"Ally, how do you eat pizza? Because I'm pretty sure nobody else wears whatever 'protective socks' are."
"Let's order, and I'll show you what I mean when we get it."
They ordered a medium sized half cheese half pepperoni.
While waiting for their pizza to be made, Ally said, "That show was amazing tonight. I'm proud of you for sticking it out. That was really brave of you."
"Thanks, Ally. And thanks for helping me write yet another amazing song."
"I couldn't have done it without you." She smiled at him. That was when the pizza arrived.
"Thank you!" Ally said to their waitress, McKenzie.
"Alright Austin, I'll show you now. So, since most pizzas have excessive amounts of cheese, and some probably falls off the pizza at one point during your meal, it is possible that it could fall into your napkin on the edge, slide off, and fall into your shoe. Since the majority of people like their pizza really hot, that means the cheese is really hot, and you wouldn't want to burn your feet, because ten it would hurt to walk. Do you get it now?"
"Uh, not really, but I'll try, since you insisted on buying me a pair."
When they left the restaurant, Ally said, "So, do you understand the sock idea any more than before."
"Nope. I may even understand it less, if that's possible. Not once did a piece of cheese fall off onto either of us."
"But it could've."
"But it didn't."
"It could've."
"But it didn't."
"Could've."
"Didn't."
"Could've."
"Didn't."
"Could've."
"Ahhh, this is ridiculous! We'll call it a tie. I won't believe you until I see it happen."
"Fine. But tomorrow, I'm showing you how to brush your teeth the proper, safe way- with safety goggles. Goodnight, Austin!" Ally said, before walking off towards Sonic Boom.
"Wow, Ally Dawson, you're crazy, but I love it."
