A/N- oh look, another update. :) I was just babysitting for an hour, soooo.. Yeah.

I don't own Austin & Ally.


Ratliff and Ally went to the Mall Food Court, just as Austin had asked. When they arrived, they found Austin and Riker sitting at a table. Ratliff waved, and so did Ally. She was keeping on a friendly face, even though she knew what was coming.

Ratliff and Ally went to sit at the table. "Hey, guys." Riker said. Ally mumbled a 'hello,' and Ratliff waved again. Austin got straight down to what he was gonna say.

"Okay, listen. I know you both have magic." Austin said. Ally's mouth dropped open.

"H-how?" She asked. Austin rolled his eyes before answering.

"Oh, Ally, Ally, Ally. I can make people do things, remember? I made Ratliff's dad tell me." Austin said. This time, Ratliff's mouth dropped open.

"He told you?" He asked.

"Yes, Ratliff." Austin said rudely. "Anyway, here's something you don't know: Riker has magic." Ratliff and Ally both looked at Riker.

"What kind of magic?" Ally asked.

"I can do spells and make things out of nothing." Riker said. Ally then thought of that battle scene dream again, and thought that would be useful if the battle happened.

"Continuing..." Austin said, glaring at everyone. "Riker and I have decided to host something to see who has better powers."

"What is this something?" Ratliff asked.

"It's a battle." Ally broke down when she heard that. She started crying on the spot. "Why's she crying?" Austin asked.

"I don't know." Ratliff said. He started comforting Ally, saying 'it'll be okay,' and 'don't worry.'

Would it really be okay? Ally was about to lose Ratliff. Unless.. No. She wouldn't. She couldn't. But if she wanted to save Ratliff.. She had to.

She had to die.


A/N- sorry it's short, but the next chapter will be the start of the battle. :D
