Ch. 38

*The next morning the teens wake up refreshed and happy

Austin: Good Morning Allybear. Are you feeling better?

Ally: Much better. Let's do something fun today. We can go to the beach.

Austin:(smiles) You read my mind. *Later that afternoon all four of the friends hangout on the beach *Ally is making a sandcastle and Trish is relaxing in the beach chair and Dez looks for sea shells.

Austin: You want to come in the water?

Ally: Is it cold?

Austin: I won't know until I get in. Come on it'll be fun.

Ally: Ok. Just don't go too deep please. *Austin scoops her up and runs to the water. She tightens her grip as he moves further in.

Austin: Relax Ally, we're in shallow water. See it only goes up to my waist. *She looks down at the calm waves and loosens her hold. *They have a blast splashing water at each other. Ally surprises Austin with her surfing skills. He and Dez both watch with their mouths hung open. *When Ally returns to the shore Austin is still in shock.

Ally: Austin? Earth to Austin. *Waves her hand in his face. He snaps out of it.

Austin: T-That was..I mean you were awesome!

Ally: Thanks.

Austin: Where did you learn to surf like that?

Ally: My cousin Shane taught me last summer when I visited him in California.

Austin:(still amazed) How come you never told me you could surf?

Ally: It's a hidden talent I have. I wanted to surprise you.

Austin: You sure did surprise me. Wow that's something I'll never forget. *After they all leave the beach they go to amusement park boardwalk that night. They have a blast playing games and riding all the rides there

*As they leave Ally teases Austin about his reaction to really fast roller coaster they rode

Ally: You sure did hit some high notes on that roller coaster. You held my hand the whole time. *Laughs rembering the moment

Austin: It was a manly scream. The speed of the ride made it sound that way *Terribly defending himself making Ally laugh even more

Ally: Call it what you want you were still scared. We have pictures to proves it. *Holds them out of his reach and gives them to Trish which means he'll never get a chance to destroy them

Austin: I wasn't as scared as Dez! He was as white as a ghost when he got off

Dez: You're one to talk sir screams a lot

Trish: It took all three of us to pry your hands off the safety bar because you were too scared to move

*Austin sticks out his younger at him in agreement. Dez does it back and they all laugh

*After they all go home, Austin and Ally stay out for a while. They lie together on a blanket in the treehouse and watch the moon settle in the sky through the skylight. In the quiet of the night only the chirps of crickets can be heard

Ally: It sure is a beautiful night. So peaceful and serene.

Austin: I enjoy looking at all the stars shining so beautifully. Their beauty is no match to yours.

Ally: Aww, that's so sweet. I really had a great day. It gave me hope again that I'll find my Prince Charming one day.

Austin: You will Alls. When you do find that guy they'll be the luckiest person in the world.

Ally: Thanks Austin. *Yawns, stands up and stretches

Ally: It's getting late we should head home

Austin: Ok. I'm getting tired too. *Helps her fold blanket and puts it on the couch. They both climb down and walk home. Austin walks Ally to door step. Ally pulls him into a tight hug

Ally: Thanks for always being there for me no matter what. *Austin has eyes closed tightly hugs her back not wanting to let go

Austin: Anything for you Alls. *After a moment of silence they pull away from each other. She goes inside and he goes to his house
