Ch. 54

*After Austin comes back in the room he sits down next to Ally.

Austin: What's next? *Thinks: Please be something normal. Please be something normal

Ally:I'm going shave your head and pluck your eyebrows.

*Austin's eyes grow wide as he grabs is head and runs out the room yelling NO! *Ally rolls on the floor laughing

Ally: Austin come back. We're just going to watch some TV.

*Austin walks back in and plops down on the beanbag.

Austin: Please don't ever say those words again.

Ally: I won't it's just so much fun messing with you. You want to watch some TV?

Austin: To be honest I'm really tired. This has been the longest, most weirdest night of my life. I want to end it as soon as I can. *Gets in sleeping bag

Ally: Ok, goodnight. *Grabs her dolphin Dougie and gets in her sleeping bag

Austin: Goodnight Ally-Bear *Goes to sleep

*During the middle of the night Austin hears something downstairs

Austin:(whispers) Alls, wake up! *Gently shakes her

Ally:(mumbles) No *Eyes still closed

Austin:(frantic) Please! *Grabs his phone, turns on the flashlight and flicks on and off in her face until she responds. She finally sits up annoyed

Ally: What?!

Austin: I heard something downstairs

Ally: It's probably something outside. Now go to sleep. *Lays back down *Austin listens out one last time before going back to sleep. A few minutes later they both wake up to the sound and turn on the light in the room

Ally: Ok, I believe you. What if it's burglar? *Starts to hyperventilate

Austin: Alls, calm down. You're safe with me *Hugs her tightly and she relaxes. They both hear footsteps coming toward the room. Austin protectivly holds on to Ally as the footsteps sound closer and the shadow on the wall grows larger
