A/N: Well, here we are at the final chapter!

Thanks to Anne for beta help.

I do not own Austin & Ally.

"I don't understand," repeated Agent Dawson for the fourth time.

Dez sighed. "I'm going to show them I can be a fun person."

"But why?" Agent Dawson had still not fully gotten over the shock of seeing Dez slowly gaining colour. Today his hair was almost entirely copper red and Agent Trish had mentioned that his eyes seemed to be of a blueish hue.

To her, Dez seemed to have changed plenty but yet...not at all either. Dez had always been kind and good company, for he had many inventions and ideas, although some had been rather odd at times. Sure, he didn't really have too many facial expressions in the first place and had been much calmer in their city than now, but it wasn't as if he was ever cold-hearted...Ally's thoughts halted. Were their people...cold hearted in their emotionless facade? Nah...Last night, even their superintendent and chief executive had also cracked a smile at Dez's enthusiasm when they gave their daily report. Their people were fascinated by this intriguing colourful life business.

Other citizens within their city had been interacting with each other, visiting either sides with the idea of tourism and causing many changes in their people and environment. It just...didn't feel as...dull...when she travelled back home now.

Come to think of it, her reaction yesterday with all the gasping and wrestling with Dez had been rather uncharacteristic of her as well. Argh! That sounded so suggestive! And what kind of emotional thoughts was she having now? Was she becoming one of them? She silently screamed 'Nooooooo!' in her head.

"HELLO?!" Agent Dawson squeaked as a loud blast rang against her ear.

"Dez!" Dawson called out reproachfully as the redhead, they could say that determinedly now, laughed out loud, megaphone in hand.

Agent Dawson flinched slightly at the sight of him laughing. She was so not used to the sight.

'A day not spent laughing is a day wasted.'

Dawson shook her head, wondering where that had come from.

"PAY ATTENTION, ALLY!" Dez, once again, yelled in the girl's ear and she yelped and shot a glare at him.

"So what exactly are you doing again?" asked Ally.

Before Dez could reply, another voice interjected. "Who's Ally?"

"That would be me," Ally replied stiffly at the appearance of Austin and Trish.

"Oh? Well then, hello Ally," grinned Austin.

"Dawson. That's Agent Dawson to you."

Austin's grin never left his face as Ally shifted uncomfortably under his Cheshire grin.

"Quit creeping her out, Austin," remarked Trish as she rolled her eyes.

Austin started to reply when "BOOM!", both Austin and Trish were showered in confetti.

Dez's mad laughter at their stunned faces was contagious as the two stunned agents started chuckling as well while Ally stared in shock, herself covered with streamers as well.

"Told you I could be fun!"

Ally thinned her lips in disapproval and frowned at the other 3. But Austin just found her actions adorable.

"C'mon Miss Grumpy." He grabbed her hand and tugged it lightly.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

Ally disgruntledly followed the blond as their respective partners tagged along behind them, somehow having gotten from laughing about explosions to bickering about pizza toppings. Never in her life would she have expected to hear Dez, of all people, bickering with a girl. It felt kind of interestingly warm-hearted.

"What's this?"

The quadruple were currently looking down at what Ally recognised as a piano.

"This, is a piano!" Austin gestured grandly towards the grand piano and Ally sighed.

"I know what it is. What I want to know is what we are doing here. And what the heck is a piano doing in the middle of a park?"

"Uh, it's called an open air stage? And, I'm going to fun you up," declared Austin proudly.

Ally stared at the blond, unamused. "I'd like to see you try."

"C'mon!" Austin sat on the piano bench and waved at Ally to join him. She didn't budge until Austin smirked at her. "Scared, Agent Dawson?"

Ally scowled and with determination in her eyes, she took a seat next to the man while Dez and Trish looked on with interest.

As Austin started on a melody, Ally looked off elsewhere, determined to seem disinterested. However, the beautiful song echoed in her head and soon lyrics filled her mind. Reluctantly, she quietly turned and watched Austin play nimbly, a smile on his face. He glanced at her; an invitation to join in. She shook her head; she didn't know how to play the piano! He smirked and grabbed her hand and placed it on the keys. Hesitatingly, she lifted her fingers and lightly joined in. With a few practice hits, the perfect tune flowed out from her as she sang softly and melodiously, surprising Austin, Dez and Trish.

Ally was absorbed in the song as she disregarded her environment, her eyes lighting up with happiness. Perhaps...that little voice in her head wasn't so bad after all.

"Not bad, Agent Dawson. Not bad at all," commented Austin as he continued playing.

"Ally."

"Hmm?"

"Call me Ally," she mumbled softly

Austin watched from the corner of his eye as a small smile appeared on the girl's face. He would bet his badge that the shine he saw in her eyes was a little brown spark.

Far behind them, one could see spots of green among the thicket of trees shading the no-longer-solely-black-and-white city and the occasional laughter of Inritus children could be heard.

A/N: Alright, it's the end. Just a short lighthearted drabble series about how the world isn't as bad it seems sometimes. :) There are millions of little things out there that could bring the spark back in your eyes. Don't give up looking for it.

I am working on several more exciting and hopefully more in-depth stories for A&A. Lots of action, adventure, wanted, homicide, missing persons, mysteries, trafficking and all sorts of themes coming up soon. :O Fingers crossed! Upcoming is a Trish-centric story! :D
