DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin & Ally, nor am I associated with Austin & Ally.

I'm startled awake the next morning by Austin hitting me with a pillow. "Wake up!" He says in a sing-song voice. I groan and roll over, and he hits me once more.

"What is it, Austin, like eight in the morning on a Saturday?" He hits me once more. "You're insane, and I will punch you."

"What's the point of wasting the day? And actually, it's six. We're going to watch the sunrise."

I open my eyes for the first time to discover, yep, it's still pretty dark outside. I scowl, I've never been a morning person. I force myself out of bed, though, for his sake. He was obviously very intent on watching the sunrise with me... He was already dressed in, you guessed it, khakis, except he was wearing a tight red pullover and a red pair of shoes I'd never seen him wear before, Vans. They looked just as nice as the Converse. He has a tendency to make sure his shoes and shirt match. The only thing I didn't like was the absence of his arm tattoo... Come to think of it, the white shirt he wore yesterday was also long-sleeved. I narrow my eyes at him before turning the knob on the bathroom door where I plan to change clothes.

He raises his eyebrows. "What?"

"Why are you wearing long sleeves all of a sudden? We live in Miami, you know."

He rubs the back of his neck with his hand. "Yeah, um... You see, my parents don't know about my tattoos."

I have no comment about this, so I go and change and come back. He nearly pulls me out the door and to the car, complaining about how we will miss it. I consider going to sleep in the car, but I know he will only whine if I do that. I would have never expected Austin to be an early riser... I learn something new about this boy every day.

We finally come to South Beach. He grabbed a blanket out of the trunk, grabbed my hand, and pulls me once more until we're on the sand. I'm surprised to find that we aren't joined by many other couples. Just a few here and there. We've made it just in time.

I lean on his shoulder as the colors light up the sky, and he draws little circles on my back with his fingers. I'm surprised when he talks.

"So what are we, Ally?"

The question chokes me up a bit... What are we, really? I'm at a loss for words.

"Well... I think it's pretty obvious we care about each other." I grin and smirk, "Even if it took a few encounters for me to realize it."

He chuckles and shakes his head, then looks at me. I'm too shy to return his gaze at the moment.

"You know, if you're not ready to make it official, we don't have to... We haven't been going on dates that long."

This was most definitely true. We've only been going on dates for about two weeks now... Wow, and it seems so much longer than that. Was I ready to be "in a relationship" with Austin? I actually kind of already felt like I was. Then again, there was the question that's been pushing at the back of my mind since day one... Can I absolutely and completely trust him?

"Austin... I'm ready. The real question is, are you?"

He looks a bit taken aback, and he frowns. "What do you mean?"

"I mean... Well, if we're going to be, you know, boyfriend and girlfriend... I don't want you to go out partying whenever you please when you're not with me. I know you want me to think that you're not doing it anymore, but I'm sure you are... Maybe not as much as you used to, but you know what I mean. And I'd like to believe you've been 'faithful' to me, so to speak, in the time we have been together..."

"I have been faithful," He says quickly, "but, yeah I have partied some..."

I give a weak smile. "So, I guess what I'm saying is, if you want this to be official... It needs to stop... Not just for my sake, but also for yours. It's not healthy, Austin, and I don't even want to know what my father would think," I pause and look at him at last, "and I know that you're hiding your other side from your parents as well."

He bites his lip, his expression is unreadable, but he nods. "Okay, Ally, I'll be good. For you." He begins wiping his palms on his pants. "I just... Okay, I'm going to be honest here, Ally. I'm afraid I'm going to eventually get to the point where I want to be with you intimately way more than I do now, and I just don't want to make you do something you don't want to. I was thinking about it last night, while you were in the shower."

I smile at his words. "Well, Austin, we'll cross that bridge when we get there."

He seems satisfied with my answer as he cups my chin with his hand and makes me look at him. "So, Ally Dawson, will you be my girlfriend?"

I blush like mad before nodding with a grin, and he kisses me sweetly.

We watch the rest of the sunrise in comfortable silence. I can't wait to tell Trish about this, she will absolutely freak out... Not that I could blame her. Two weeks ago, I was trying to get away from this guy, because I knew that he was no good. And yet, here I am now, the first girl he's ever brought home, and officially his girlfriend. I was going to trust him, no doubt about that. He said he would be good for me, and that means more than he knows.

A/N: I know that some of you may be thinking this happened too fast... But this story is, after all, about 1/3 of the way over. :( Sad face. Anyways, I've got so much more for this plot. And the ending I had in mind... Well, I'm beginning to wonder whether I should have it go the complete opposite of how I had it. However, that is for me to worry about, not you guys. :) Haha. So just don't forget to review, favorite, and follow! I'd like to get at least ten reviews before my next update, I'll leave some questions below to make the reviews a little more interesting. :D Answer them all if you like, especially this last one haha. :)

1. What has been your favorite part so far?

2. Are there any other point of views you'd like to hear from besides Austin & Ally?

3. Do you think they're taking things too fast?

4. Do you like bad boy Austin or good boy Austin better?

5. Okay, here's a question that your answers will actually help me out. :) What other tattoos do you imagine Austin having besides the anchor on his arm? I mentioned that Ally saw some of his others, but it was never discussed what they were. So, fire away!
