Chapter Fourteen (Part One):

"Hey, Randoms, where are you headin'?" Chad asked as the entire crew came crashing off their set.

"Coffee. Wanna come?" Ally asked, grinning widely, ignoring the sounds of protest from her fellow actors.

"Wait. You guys can afford coffee? What happened? Did you get a pay raise?" Chad asked, eyes falsely wide. He chuckled, unable to keep his face long, ignoring the glares he got.

Ally rolled her eyes, "Yes, Chad. We can afford a coffee. Are you coming or not?"

He paused to actually contemplate it. On the one hand, he'd be hanging out with Randoms, which would be bad for his image. On the other hand, it would be an opportune time to interrogate Ally…, "I'm in," He looks back and turns around in confusion at seeing nobody there.

"What are you standing around for? Comeon!" Ally called from down the hall already.

Chad rolled his eyes and followed her as they all piled into her new SUV. He briefly had a fight with Tawni over who would get the front seat, which was easily won by distracting her with a shiny dime on the ground.

He chuckled as he tucked his seat belt in, feeling the hot glare of Tawni on his back. Chad continued his chuckling the entire ride, knowing it was making Tawni even angrier. They went into a popular café and take a seat, merging two tall round tables together to make enough seating for all of them.

Tawni pouted, still angry at Chad, "So what are you guys doing over at Mackenzie Falls anyway? Santa gone missing and Mackenzie needs to hand out the presents to the entire world in order to save Christmas?" She asked mockingly smiling as Nico gave her a high-five for the comment.

"It's barely Fall," Chad replied, looking at her like she was stupid, making Tawni shift uncomfortably, "Why would we be shooting a Christmas episode now? That's not for another month or two."

"What is your Christmas episode?" Ally asked as she unloaded her jacket pockets, putting her cell phone and her iPod on the table in front of her, "Do you know yet?"

Chad shrugged, an obvious smirk on his lips, "Well, I do have my connections… Apparently, my evil half brother-" Chad stops as Ally's cell phone starts vibrating violently.

"Sorry, text. Continue," She smiles as she quickly reads it. She looks up as Chad continues explaining, but her fingers are quickly texting a reply.

"…And then he steals all the presents, but of course Mackenzie can't have that and-" Chad once again pauses as he hears Ally's phone vibrating again.

Ally smiles, "Keep going!" As she turns the phone onto silent.

"…He climbs to the top of the Falls where his brother had been stashing all the presents and ornaments and- Who keeps texting you while I am talking!?" Chad yells, finally having enough when he sees the strobe light on Ally's sidekick go through a myriad of colours, showing that she just received a text.

"Just a friend. Don't worry…" Ally trailed off as she read the text she received. The others exchanged looks. This was not the only time she had mentioned 'just a friend'. Who was she talking to? Ally's forehead furrowed as she read what was written.

Suddenly, her phone began playing a haunting melody.

Got a secret/Can you keep it?/Swear this one you'll save/Better lock it in your pocket/Taking this one to the grave/If I show you, then I know you/Won't tell what I've said/'Cause two can keep a secret/If one of them is dead

"That makes no sense!" Ally speaks into her phone, not even bothering with a 'hello'.

Nico and Grady look at each other. Clearly who ever called was the one she had been texting…

Ally let out a care-free laugh, "Shut up!... Shut up!... No, stay right there! I'll come pick you up!" She hung up the phone, quickly gathering her iPod and dumping them into her purse hastily, "Hey, guys, I'm really sorry, but I have to go. I'll see you later. Bye!" She speaks, not giving them a chance to reply as she runs out the door.

Chad looks after her in confusion, watching as her SUV peals out of her parking space, hearing the tires squeal. He looks around and realizes he's still hanging out with the loser Randoms, "Oh, god!" he says as he stands up, looking horrified and quickly runs out the door, hoping no one saw him. Ally was pretty cool… for a Random… but her friends were most definitely not!

Ally hastily parks her car out front, knowing that she can only stay there for five minutes before getting towed, so she has to be quick. She hastily puts her blinkers on so that she can find her car amidst the others in the growing darkness.

She hops out of the car, quickly searching the area, ignoring the looks she was getting from tourists and the whispers of people recognizing her.

"Ally!" a British voice called out.

She whirled around, a giant grin on her face. She runs a few steps and throws her arms around Rob in a giant hug, "Hey, stranger! I can't believe you're here!"

Rob chuckled, "I got bored in New York by myself. I had to see what you were up to."

"Well, not much! Just work," She grabs hold of one of his duffels, tugging until he let go. Ally grabbed his hand and led him to her car, putting his bag in the backseat and motioning for him to do the same with his other army duffel slung on his shoulder.

He threw it carelessly and hopped into the passenger seat, "So, know any good hotels?"

"Yeah, one," Ally spoke throwing the car in reverse and pulling out of airport parking, "It's called my place. Only one other guest."

Rob smiled, "I'm not staying with you."

"Yes, you are. I'm driving and you're stuck in a moving vehicle, so unless you plan on throwing yourself out, you're stuck with where I'm taking you," Ally grinned, "Relax, I have a guest room. So you and your virtue will be safe."

Rob laughed loudly in response.

"So, are you tired? Do you wanna hit the hay? Or do you want to have some fun first?" Ally smiled slyly.

Rob looked at her out of the corner of his eyes, "Was there a question in there somewhere?"

Ally laughed as she signaled left and then pulled a fast U-turn. Soon, they arrived in front of a bright club, music playing loudly.

She looked in her rearview mirror, quickly fluffing her hair and re-applying her red lipstick as she checked her rocker outfit of black and white converse, skinny jeans, a white tank and a black leather biker jacket. She jumped down from her seat and made her way to where Rob was waiting for her. She playfully linked her arm with his and they entered the club together.
