Allyson (Ally for short) Melody Dawson just couldn't stand another day at Matt Hall Bronx High School anymore. Besides people making fun of her last name and her nose; today just didn't go the way she wanted it to go. Instead she had the total opposite day. Ally's Yellow Oxford Blouse just got covered in her favorite blue pen. The ink spread all of her blouse, like a fire eating up the dry land on a summer day. To everyone around her, it was just a stain. But To Ally, it is the biggest stain in the history of her life. On top of her embarrassment of her pen exploding on her, that's not the only thing that made her day worse. Ally's eight grade crush, Elliot Summer just ask Cassidy Leslie to be his girlfriend and of course she said yes. To Ally, the situation isn't fair for the others around them, who have their eyes on the couple. She always wanted Elliot to notice her, but it's not like the most popular guy in school could noticed a pop star in process of having her name in the lights.
Ally let out a sigh as she looked down at her plaid green skirt. She looked back up to see a thousand or more lights shine out towards her. Ally couldn't help but smile from seeing the bright New York City lights. Just seeing the lights made her feel like she was free from all the drama in her life. The plus side is that she is a sucker for the city lights. As Ally continued to look down at the New York lights, she didn't know that there was someone else nearby. Austin Moon, was there… watching her from the distance. He isn't stalking her but he always had feelings for her. The one problem is… Austin doesn't know how to tell her. You see, he isn't your typical high school guy. In fact, Austin doesn't have the same hobbies as the other guys in their school. What Austin loves to do on his spare time is fixing engines. The good thing about their School is that they have workshops for students, who want to become engineers. And thanks to that workshop, he has found Ally.
He still remembers the first day he meet her, like it just happen yesterday. Austin was making his way up to the workshop for another car's engine fix up, when he overheard Ally singing in one of the practice rooms. Ally's voice is amazing and Austin couldn't help it but have a crush on her. The Dilemma is, every time Austin tried to talk to her, he just couldn't seem to be able to start a conversation with her. Well that is, without either babbling or saying hum. And then after feeling embarrassed, he would make up some excuses to leave. Austin doesn't understand why he does these actions. But he now knew that he could think of a way to talk to her. That was until yesterday, when Ally's younger twin sisters Selena and Elena, give him the encouragement to come up to her, and tell her how he felt. This is the main reason why Austin is here tonight.
As Austin continues to admire Ally from behind her, Ally had a gut feeling that someone was watching her. She could feel their eyes burning at the back of her head. The next thing she starts to hear is their footsteps coming towards her direction. Ally starts to feel worried about the person coming towards her, could harm her. So now from the bottom of her heart, she is hoping that the stranger is homeless person asking for money, than a stalker. For all of Ally life, she is known as a naïve girl, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what out there. After she has been told by her fathers that "Stalkers" watch their victims every move. They wait for their victim to be alone at night, with no one around to help them. If this stranger is a "Stalker"; they sure do have a good chance to kidnaping her, and having their way with her. Especially since Ally doesn't have a way to protect herself, unless she calls 991 from her cell phone. Ally's body starts to shake as she thought of all the horrible things, her stalker could do to her. Then all of a sudden, the person's footsteps stop at the right side of her. In the moment, Ally is frightened to turn towards their direction or make eye contact. But each second that passes by, makes her heart beat faster than ever.
"Great, I guess my day can get worse than it is." Ally said towards herself with sarcasm, while she waits for the person to attack her.
From the corner of Ally's left eye, the person appearance becomes blurry for her to see well. So she decides not to move from where she is or talks to them. Instead she decides to look out towards the New York Lights. Ally's breathing doesn't come back together until she hears a familiar voice.
"Hey Ally." The boy said with a nervous tone.
Ally turned towards the school-mate with relief. Right there next to her was Austin Moon. She gives him a huge smile and thanked the world that it wasn't a killer on the loose.
"What are you doing here? You know it's not safe for a girl your age to be out here alone at nighttime." Austin said with concern as he sat down next to Ally.
Ally smile disappears into a frown before responding with attitude, "I was fine until you got here."
Austin knew that he started this conversation on the wrong foot and is about it run away. But a part of him decided to continue his quest.
"Do you want to talk about what's bothering you? I promise I won't laugh." he said towards her with concern.
Ally is depressed but glad that Austin was here, trying his best to comfort her. She wasn't sure if she can tell him how she felt. Plus she isn't that close to him. But she was willing to give it a shot. After all, she didn't really have that many friends to talk to in school.
"You promise you won't laugh Austin?" Ally said with insecurity.
Austin looks at Ally with a shock expression on his face before saying, "You remember my name?"
"Of course I would know you name. Everyone at school says that you're a great engineer." Ally said with a smile
Austin gave Ally a smile before responding," And I heard you're a great singer."
Ally gave out a sigh before responding," It's too bad I can't seem to be able to get my crush to notice me."
Austin couldn't believe Ally's statement. It made him feel sad to see that Ally couldn't see how beautiful she truly is. So what if her crush didn't noticed her? To him, she is special. But that's not all Austin feels about this situation. No... not all of it. Right now he is also disappointed that Ally couldn't see how much he loves her. Somehow Austin knows that he has to show her how beautiful she is. Plus he needs to show Ally, how much he really cares for her. The question is; how can you make a girl notice you?
"Ally, you are way too beautiful for him. So what if he is the most popular boy at school. You are worth more than any guy. Plus there is the saying; there is more fish in the sea than you can ever know. And who knows. Maybe the person who is meant to be with you, could be closer to you, than you think"
Ally rolled her eyes at Austin statement before responding back," I don't believe you! Besides… no guy at our school could look at me with love and affection. All the guys are jerks"
Ally turns away from Austin and starts to look out at the city lights. Austin joins in with sightseeing before murmuring towards himself, "Maybe I can change your mind?
Ally looked up at Austin with confusion and responded," Did you say something?"
"Oh! Hum, Nothing. See I knew you can trust me." Austin said with a smile on his face
Ally lets out a giggle before responding back," Thanks for listening to me, Austin."
"No problem Ally. So tell me why you are here looking at the night sky?" Austin asked Ally with curiously.
"I wasn't looking at the sky." Ally responds back with a smile on her childlike face.
"Than what were you looking at?" Austin asked with confusion
"The City Lights are what I am look at." Ally say with a smile on her face.
"Really! That is so cool. Hey Ally, I know a better view to see the city lights but before I show you, I got a question for you." Austin said with a smiled on his face before turning his attention towards her.
"Sure. Whatever you want! ", Ally said with excitement as she continues to look at the lights.
"Will You Fly with Me?" Austin asked her.
Ally turned towards Austin with confusion and responded," What do you mean by Fly with me?"
Austin gave her a smile before getting up from his spot. He turned towards Ally. He then pulls his hand out for her to hold on to and looks at her with a smile.
"There is something about me that I would like for you to see. All you have to do is grab hold of my hand and follow me" Austin said in a casual tone.
Ally wasn't sure if she could trust him enough to go with him. But her heart and brain is telling her that she should. Ally grabs a good hold of his hand before nodding yes. Just one touch and Ally would feel a sparks going through her fingers and into her body. She never had this feeling with any boy. Including her all time crush. Austin slowly pulls her up and starts to walk Ally and himself towards his car. Ally notices that Austin is a little bit taller than her, so Ally puts her head up so she would be able to see his face better.
"Where are you going to take me?" Ally asks with curiously as Austin starts to walk faster towards his pickup truck, meanwhile she follows right behind him.
Austin keeps his look at his direction as he responds in a kind voice," Some place that means the world to me. Plus I am also going to show you how to Fly."
Ally gave out a laugh and responds, "We can't fly."
Austin lets out a laugh before responding, "Not on our own. But there is a way for us to fly."
Ally gives out a confuse face expression towards the guy next to her as Austin and her buckle themselves inside the car. Austin starts the car and the small mixture of sand and air lifted up from the road as Austin starts to drive on the dirt road. After about fifteen minutes, Ally couldn't help it anymore but ask what he has in plan for them. If there is one thing a person like him should know about her, is the fact that she doesn't like surprises. So as she looks over towards the sea of trees in both sides of the road, she starts to think for a good way to ask Austin where they are going.
"I hope you are not kidnapping me." Ally remarks in a sassy tone
Austin gives out a fake shock expression and responding back, "I would never do that."
Ally let out a giggle until she responds back," So how much longer do you have to drive to get to our destination?"
"Do worry about it." Austin said as he continued to keep his eyes on the road.
Ally fell asleep as Austin continues to drive. Once Austin put the car in parking, Ally woke up from the drive to find herself in front of the airplane parking lot. Ally unbuckled herself out of the car while Austin went towards the other side of his car. He opens the car door for Ally before grabbing hold of Ally's hand. Ally accepts his hand gesture as she gets out of his car in a fast pace. Ally looks around to find different types of airplanes in front of them.
"What are we doing here?" Ally asked with confusion as she looks out towards the airplanes.
Austin starts walking to a two seated yellow airplane that looked similar to a red baron. Ally follows behind meanwhile trying to making sure not to run into any of the other airplanes.
"Ally's there is something about me, which no one knows about me. And I want you to be the first one to know." Austin said with a proud smile on his face.
"And what is that?" Ally asked as she saw Austin getting near the airplane.
At first Austin's comment didn't click. But then Ally saw Austin opening the airplane's door entrance for her, and that's when she realized what Austin was talking about.
"You're a pilot!" Ally comment back in a shock voice
Austin smiles at Ally's comment before responding back, "Yes I am. So will you fly with me?"
Ally is a little spectacle about going in to the airplane with Austin. After all she just met Austin and isn't so sure if she can trust him enough. Plus she isn't really in a good mood to go anywhere. Austin notices how uncomfortable she is and is worried that his plan to make her notice him would fall apart. Part of him wanted to give up. The main reason why is because Austin could tell that Ally didn't seem to be interested in dating him. The other part of Austin told him that he should keep going. After all, he finally got the courage to talk to her. It's not like; he would get a second chance with Ally.
Austin lets out a desperate sigh before responding, "I promise it will help you with all your problems. Plus you get a better view of the City Light before the sun comes up."
"Thanks. But I am not sure if I can go Austin." Ally said with fear.
"You can trust me! I promise nothing will happen to you" Austin remarks back as he puts his hand out for her to hold."
Part of Ally wanted to decline his offer but her heart told her yes. She is after all happy that Austin is showing her something no else has ever seen.
Ally got hold of Austin's hand and states back, "Okay. Give me a second."
Austin gives Ally a reassuring smile before responding back, "Take all the time you need."
Ally lets out a sigh of relief from Austin's patience before responding back, "Okay. I am ready."
Austin's mind starts to relax from hearing her comment before commenting back in a teasing tone, "Ally. I will assure you. You will feel like you are flying."
Ally lets out another giggle before responding back, "Are you sure about that?"
"I will assure you." Austin says towards her before helping Ally up to her seat.
And Just like Austin said Ally did felt like she was flying. From her eye view, she could see the whole city from here. And she couldn't help but feel peace. In this moment in time, Ally felt like she was a bird, who is hovering over the dark night sky. Now she knows why Austin likes flying his airplane. The only question that is in her mind is why he had showed her.
"Wow. I can't believe it. How come you never told anyone about your skills in flying an airplane?" Ally asks with curiosity as she continues to look out the window.
"The reason why is because there is no one in my life that I could trust." Austin remarks back as he continues to keep his eyes on the sky.
Ally turned towards Austin's direction and gave him a confuse expression before asking, "Than why did you tell me? I only met you today."
Austin gave Ally a small smile before responding back, "Well I know I can trust you with my secret. Plus there's something else I have to tell you."
"What is it?" Ally asked while Austin started to bring the airplane towards a run a way.
"Wait a second." Austin said as he directed the plane towards the floor.
The plane makes a perfect landing and all the thrill is over. Austin takes a breath in and out as he starts to tell her how he felt. He didn't have that much time left. And Austin knew that the sun will be coming out from the sky and the stars will disappear for the day. He either tells her now or never.
"Ally, I have feelings for you. I have liked you since the first time I laid eyes on you. I know you won't say it back. But know that you can fly with me at any time you want."
Ally gets close to Austin and gives him a kiss. Austin returns the kiss and couldn't believe that Ally was in his arms. At last, he got her to notice him.
After their passionate kiss, Ally give out a huge smile and said, "Austin you made me feel so special tonight. And I would love to give you a chance, but let's take this slow."
Austin nods in an understand gesture as she adds on, "I would never want to be with any else but you. And I also want you to know. I will always fly with you. All you have to do is ask."
Austin's eyes light up from her comment as he states back, "My life is complete with you by my side Ally. All you have to do is fly with me."
