A/N- I'm so happy you like it! :D

I don't own Austin & Ally or "Open Eyes" by Debby Ryan.


"Look around, it's dead at night

You've been losing every fight

You're hopeless, feeling broken

You're feet are rough, they're scraped and bruised

But still have strength to take you through

Into

The dark

Just close your eyes

And push right through

I know it's tough right now

This was meant for you

When the clouds are gone

Not a shadow in sight

You'll be drenched in the sun

With open eyes

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

At the beach, the waves will crash

Tuck and grab and pull you back

The sun may be covered in gray

The sand will itch, itself may burn

Hurricane will take it's turn

Until

The dawn

Just close your eyes

And push right through

I know it's tough right now

This was meant for you

When the clouds are gone

Not a storm insight

You'll be drenched in the sun

With open eyes

So close your eyes, shut them tight

Let it be, and it will fade away (fade away)

Push on though the strength in you

Let it be, and wish it all away (all away)

So close your eyes, shut them tight

Let it be, and it will fade away (fade away)

Push on though the strength in you

Let it be, and wish it all away (all away)

With open eyes,

Open wide,

It's all good now, watch it fade away,

Day by day

Just close your eyes

And push right through

I know it's tough right now

This was meant for you

When the clouds are gone

Not a storm insight

You'll be drenched in the sun

With open eyes"

"That's really good!" Ratliff exclaimed from the practice room door, making Ally jump.

"You scared me!" Ally almost shouted.

"Ready?" Ratliff asked. He held out his arm, and Ally took it.

"Where're we going?" Ally asked.

"We're going to the Mall Food Court." Ratliff smiled. Ally smiled back.


"Welcome to Mini's. What would you like to order?" The man behind the counter asked Ally and Ratliff.

"I'll take two drinks, six mini tacos, and two mini pizzas." Ratliff ordered.

"Is that for you both?" The man asked.

"Yes." Ratliff replied. The man gave them their drinks and went to get their food made, and they took a seat at the table in front of the restaurant-like place.

"So..." Ally said, playing with the small straw on mini drink.

"So..." Ratliff repeated. "Have you always written songs?"

"Yeah, ever since I was little. But the ones back then weren't very good." Ally told him.

"I bet anything that's ever come out of your mouth has been good." Ratliff said, which made Ally blush.

"Your order is ready!" The man shouted. Ratliff went to get their food. Ally stayed and waited for him.

"Hey again, beautiful." Austin walked up to where Ally was sitting and sat in the chair Ratliff had been sitting in two minutes ago.

"Oh, hi, Austin." Ally said without any enthusiasm.

"I thought you were busy tonight." He said.

"Um, yeah, with my, um, booyyfriend." Ally said, after panicking.

"Who's he?" Austin asked. Ratliff then came back to the table.

"This guy right here." Ally said. She stood up and gave Ratliff a hug.

"What are you-" Ratliff started to say, but Ally whispered to him to be quiet. Without asking questions, he obeyed.

"He's your boyfriend?" Austin asked, sounding disgusted.

"Yep! I find him totally irresistible." Ally said.

"And I think she lights up my world more than anyone else." Ratliff said sincerely. Ally smiled at him.

"Please don't get mad at me for what I'm about to do." She whispered.

"What are you-" Ratliff tried to say again, but Ally stopped the rest of his words. But in a different way than before.

She kissed him straight on the lips.

Austin's mouth fell open. Ally broke apart from Ratliff and looked straight into his eyes. They were both smiling like crazy.

"Okay, um, see ya later." Austin said. Now that he wasn't calling her 'beautiful,' she felt strange. But she also was happy.

Because she really liked Ratliff. And she kissed him.

And she was pretty sure he liked her, too.
