Hey, guys! Updating two stories in one day... I'm on a roll! :P

First of all, I want to thank everyone who's being really nice to me and has been supporting me through this story, and especially the ones who have been supporting me since the beginning.

Now, this message is adressed more to the haters, but if you're not (which I'm assuming you're not, if you read this story until here, but whatever) you can read anyway. I think I'm speaking for not only myself but also all authors who have gotten bad reviews or mean ones on their story, which they didn't deserve, 'cause bad story or not, those people still had the courage to actually post a story for people to read.

If you don't like a story, fine, I don't care, people can't force you to like something. Same if you don't like the author. But please, don't post a review saying how much you hate the author or the story. That's just low. Especially if you post it as a guest. If you want to insult someone, at least grow the guts to show who you are. And if you don't have an account, that's even better, because that means you may not even be a good writer, and you have the guts to tell someone that they aren't good enough. How does that make any sense? Exactly. It doesn't. So please, if you don't like a story, I'm not saying you shouldn't say it or anything, but at least be nice about it. Don't go ahead and tell them that they should give up. Instead, tell them what they could do to make their story better. I'm not saying it won't hurt them to know someone didn't like what they put so much effort into, but at least you won't make them want to give up on something they love to do.

As for me, it's the same. But if you go and try insulting me or whatever it is you want to tell me, don't worry, I'll just delete your stupid review. I don't want to see a review from someone who tried to hurt me everytime I check my reviews. I know I might be doubting myself from times to times, but seriously, who doesn't? And with all the amazing reviews I get, do you really think I'll stop writing just because you tried to take me down? I won't. Maybe you don't like my style of writing. I'm not going to force you to like it, but I'm not going to change it because a few people in a thousand didn't like it. And if you don't like me, fine, I don't like you either. That's just how it's going to be. If you think I'm a bitch for thinking like that, well I'm just defending myself, and I think every author should do the same.

Well, that was my rant of the day. I just needed to put that out there. Again, I want to thank all of you who are supportive. Those who aren't, what are you still doing here?!

On another note, I REACHED 500 REVIEWS! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! You have no idea how much this means to me! I'm litterally screamed my head off when I saw 502 reviews, a couple days ago.

Oh! And Jewel (guest) here's a reply to your review on chapter 25 (I'm usually not doing that but you're a guest so it's not like I can reply by PM :P): I don't know if another author used that before. It's just something that I say when I'm crying and I felt like it fit with the story so I wrote it down.

Anyway, onto the disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally or anything else you may recognize in this story.

Enjoy! :)


Austin's P.O.V.

"Austin! You're actually on time!" Jimmy exclaims as I walk in his office, coffee in hand. He raises his hand for me to high-five it, but I just scowl and sit down next to Ally. Have I ever told you that I'm not a morning person? No? Well, I'm telling you now.

"Austin, are you okay?" Ally asks me.

"I'm fine."

"Austin's not a mornig person." Jimmy explains to her, completely ignoring the fact that I'm sitting right here. "Don't take anything rude he says or do personal. He just needs his beauty sleep." He adds with a small smirk, shooting me a pointed look. I just glare at him in response.

"If you're done trying to make me snap, care to tell us why you needed us here at six in the morning?" I ask him pointly.

"Here the thing." He begins, sitting down on his chair. "As you must know, Lucky is one of the most asked song on the radio." We both nod. "It was so loved by everyone, that the fans started asking for a new duet from you two." He gets out his phone, types in a few things, then shows us the screen. "There's this thing on Twitter. A new hashtag."

On the screen is a Twitter page full of fans saying '#WeNeedMoreAusllyDuets'

"Nice." I comment, before taking a sip of coffee. "So, you want us to do another duet together?"

"Actually, since our songwriters are really inspired by you guys, it'd be more like four more duets. You'd get an EP of your five duets. But I need you two to promise me you'll do your best to be at the studio everytime you can. Which means less hanging out with friends, less family outtings, no matter how much you do that, missing out on a bit of school time every now and then, and less performing too. Are you ready to do that? More importantly, can you do that?"

Ally and I share a look. "We'll try our best." Ally assures him.

"Great. We're beginning today. I want to get the EP out before Christmas."

"Before Christmas?" Ally repeats. "It takes about a week and a half to record one song! With school, make that three! A duet, add three or four days! Christmas is less than two months away! We'll never make it on time!" She exclaims worriedly.

"That's why I want to begin as fast as we can! Every weekends, and every day after school, I want you two here."

"What about homework? Plus, on December, we'll have a lot of studying to do for tests. How will we be able to find time for that?"

"You two wanted to go to school. You wanted to have a double life. Time to live with the consequences, kids. Now, let's get to work." He gets up, silently gesturing for us to follow him. Sharing a worried look, Ally and I follow the head of our record label out of his office.


The rest of the day went like this:
From 6:30 to 8:00- Meeting with the songwriters.
From 8:00 to 12:45- Recording the music for the first song. Ally played the piano and I played the guitar, bass, and drums. Yes, I do play all those instruments. Not to brag or anything, but I'm like a music prodigy.
From 12:45 to 1:30- Lunch break.
From 1:30 to 3:15- Continuing to record the music.
From 3:15 to 4:50- Waiting for the music to be put all together, Ally and I fooled around, me playing random notes on my guitar, Ally trying to make up lyrics to go with the music.
From 4:50 to 5:30- Ally needed to record the piano again, since something went wrong with the first recording.
From 5:30 to 6:55- Due to technical difficulties, Ally and I were given an awaited break. We went out to eat, but had to come back once we got spotted by paparrazzis.
From 6:55 to 7:15- Ally and I waited for the signal to go back in the studio, wondering around Starr Records.
7:15: Jimmy dismissed us, seeing it was getting late and by the time the problem was fixed, it'd probably be late.

So, that's how I ended up coming into my house, exhausted.

"Hi, Honey, how was your day?" My mom asks as I pass the living room.

I groan. Anything but small talk with my mom, I'm so tired!

"Exhausting." I respond.

"I thought you'd come back earlier. What did Jimmy want?"

I sigh. Seems like there's no way out of this. "He wants Ally and I to do an EP together." I explain as I sit down on the couch. "All the songs will be duets. He wants it out before Christmas. So basically, my daily schedule from this day 'till Christmas will be sleep, do my homework or study, go to school, go to the studio as soon as school is over, come back home late, do a bit of homework, then go back to sleep. So be warned, I probably won't have time for any social activities until at least December."

"So, you won't be doing any concerts?"

"I'll keep doing some here and there, but not a lot. Maybe once a week or something."

"Won't the paparrazzis suspect something if you keep not making any performances?"

"They know I'm taking time for my senior year. Jimmy said we'll announce about the EP in a few weeks. I think it'll be a good enough reason for them. At least for a little while."

She sighs. "Whatever you say, Honey. How many songs are there going to be on that EP?"

"Five, plus a Christmas song that'll be released appart from it. But one of the five songs will be Lucky, so at least that one will already be recorded."

"Won't you be tired after a while?" She asks worriedly.

I shrug. "Most likely. But it's not like I can do anything about it."

"Alright. Well, you better go to bed. What time do you need to be at Starr Records, tomorrow?"

"Eight."

"Okay. Goodnight, Sweetheart."

"Goodnight, Mom." I get up, kiss her cheek, and go to bed.

What a busy day... I just hope I'll survive through the next two months.

Wish me good luck!


BAM! Done!

Random Question of the Day: Am I the only one who noticed Nelson not being in any season 3 episodes, and that Austin and Dez didn't do their "What Up?!" handshake since the end of season 2? I miss those things! They're part of why I love Austin & Ally!

I said I'd answer your questions so here you go:

Lim (guest): 1. What's your favorite fanfiction ever? 2. And what's your favorite fic that you wrote?

My answer: 1. Do you know how hard that question is?! I read so many fanfictions, it's really hard to choose. I can't answer that one. Too hard. 2. Hmm... One-shot: Before I Die. Multi-chap: I'm hesitating between My Boyfriend's A Superstar and Skater Girl.

Daddysgirl11: What's the difference between color and colour? (That probably wasn't really a question but whatever)

My answer: I honestly don't know, but it really gets on my nerves when I'm writing :P Same for favourite/favorite.

The Beavster-BeaverandAusllyAM (sorry if I didn't spell that right, by the way :P): Is Promise finished?

My answer: No, it isn't. Since I just updated Believe Me and Undercover, I'm going to work on that until the next chapter is posted.

Auslly Finchel 123: What is your favorite Austin&Ally from season 3?

My answer: First of all, do you know how hard that question is?! I can't choose a favourite Austin&Ally episode! It's like choosing between... Two of my favourite things that I can't think of, as of right now! :P But since we're talking season 3 and it's a bit easier since there aren't so many episodes that came out yet, I'd probably go with Glee Clubs & Glory.

Keep sending your questions in! I'll gladly answer them! Plus, it might give me ideas for the Random Question of the Day, when I can't think of one! :)

Until next time,

R5AAFan :)
