Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally. *sigh*

A&A

As the days dragged on, Austin had become more accustomed to Grandma Ruth's living style. Sure, she may have been old, but she was pretty cool. Austin never thought he'd actually enjoy living here, but he was. It had nothing to do with the fact that Ally Dawson was becoming one of his best friends here. No, not at all.

It'd been 1 week since he went to the first teen meeting, and he wasn't planning on going to today's, but somehow Ally had managed to convince him. Actually, all it took was her adorable self, and he agreed.

"Fine," he started as Ally grinned in accomplishment, "but only because Trish isn't going." It was true. Trish was on a family vacation for the week so she wouldn't be able to attend the teen meeting this week, much to Austin's favor. Austin and Trish had been on bad terms ever since the incident at the teen meeting although Trish had tried to apologize.

Austin forgave her, but they weren't talking, and Austin still held a small grudge on her. Trish could have cared less as she is used to having enemies. It wasn't her fault, according to Ally.

"Oh, come on, Austin. She's not that bad," Ally said as they walked down the hallway together. School had just ended and, as they had been for the past week, Austin and Ally were walking to Grandma Ruth's. Ally now had a bigger reason to go, but she'd never say why.

They walked in comfortable silence, each watching the way the trees' leaves danced along with the breeze that came by every few seconds. They were mesmerized by how perfect today looked. The sun was slightly covered by the clouds, making it look all the more perfect.

Ally hadn't always been nature person, and she'd always been an indoor type of person, but ever since Grandma Ruth came along Ally had loved nature. She'd get inspiration by looking at all the animals that would run across the street.

Austin glanced at Ally and noticed the small smile that formed on her lips as she watched a bunny rabbit hopping in the grass. "Aww," she cooed at the sight of the adorable creature. "It's cute, isn't it?" Austin nodded in agreement and smiled. "Come on," he urged as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the park.

Dez had shown it to him a few days ago, and he found it very relaxing. "Where are we going?" Ally questioned while reluctantly following Austin. She trusted him enough but hoped he wasn't a kidnapper. She shook her head and laughed at herself for considering that.

Austin stopped as he reached the park and saw Ally's face light up as she saw where he was taking her. He'd stopped walking completely now, and Ally pulled him along with her. "Come on!" she exclaimed as she ran toward the swings.

Austin laughed and jogged over to Ally. "Sheesh, I didn't think you'd be this happy," he muttered as he reached her. Ally's face showed pure happiness. "It's been a while since I last came here. I've been too busy, and when I'm not, I always forget to stop by," Ally explained while pushing herself lightly.

Austin smiled and sat down on the swing next to her. "Ally, push me," Austin begged childishly. Ally giggled and stood up. "Okay," she replied as she pushed him with all her strength, which truth be told, wasn't too much.

"Come on, Ally. You're so weak," Austin complained jokingly. "Well sorry, but this would be much easier the other way around," she said as she breathed heavily. Austin groaned jokingly as he stopped himself. "Fine. Sit," he ordered while standing up.

Ally grinned happily as she skipped around to the swing. "Ready?" Austin asked as he held both chains with his hands. "Ready," Ally reassured while smiling.

Austin grinned and pulled her back as far as he could before releasing the swing. Ally giggled as she swung back and forth with Austin pushing her. Austin stared as Ally swung and smiled to himself. The way her hair was flying with each push made her look extremely beautiful. And there he was thinking that's as beautiful as a girl could get.

After a few minutes of swinging, Austin stopped her and smiled. "Ally, we should get going. Grandma Ruth will get worried," he explained while helping her up. Ally nodded and sighed. "You're right. Let's go," she said before smiling slightly.

It wasn't even 5, but it was getting darker. "Is it supposed to rain today?" Ally asked as she looked at the sky. The dark clouds were coming in as the white clouds were barely seen. The sun was no longer shining like it was when they got out of school.

Austin looked up as well and shrugged slowly. "It looks like it is. We better hurry," she said while moving closer to Ally. Ally nodded and began to walk toward the sidewalk.

As they started to walk on the sidewalk, they could hear the thunder slowly start up. Ally hugged herself, silently wishing she had brought her book and backpack to hug. It's not that thunderstorms scared her, but she wasn't usually outside during one. She'd be inside, in her cozy little room reading a book while drinking hot chocolate.

Today, however, must have been her unlucky day as she had also left her jacket in her locker. How was she supposed to know that it would be raining today? Oh yeah, The Weather Channel. (1)

She shivered as the wind picked up and hugged herself tighter. Austin, who had been silently hoping that it wouldn't rain, looked over at Ally to see her shivering and hugging herself. He smiled at how adorable she looked and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his side. Ally, grateful as always, leaned into his side and sighed.

"Thank you, Austin," she mumbled while still hugging herself. Austin smiled and rubbed her arms trying to keep her warm. Ally sighed in relief as Grandma Ruth's home-welcoming house came into view.

As they walked up the porch, Austin unwrapped his arms from Ally and opened the door for her politely. "Thank you," she said as she stepped into the warm house.

"Grandma, we're home!" Austin called while setting his backpack on the sofa. Ally walked into the kitchen and smiled as she saw Grandma Ruth baking a cake. "Hey, Ally," Grandma Ruth greeted while hugging her. Austin came in and smiled at his grandma before hugging her. "Hey, Austin. How was school?" she asked as they pulled away.

"It went well. Sorry we're late," he replied apologetically. Grandma Ruth smiled knowingly and returned to her cake. "It's fine. Ally, dear, sorry, but the teen meeting is cancelled. It's supposed to storm really bad, and I told everyone to stay home. I also called your father to tell him that you'd be staying until the storm is over," Grandma Ruth said while putting the cake into the heated oven.

Ally nodded and smiled. "Okay. Thank you, Grandma Ruth." Grandma Ruth smiled at Ally. "Don't thank me. Anyway, Austin, do you have homework?" Grandma Ruth asked while eyeing him. He sighed and nodded. "Yes," he mumbled in reply.

"Then get to working on it. No cake until it's done," she threatened. "Aw, but what about Ally?" he complained. "I didn't have homework," Ally cut in as she helped Grandma Ruth set up. Austin sighed and left to get his backpack.

A&A

"Ally, can you help Austin with his homework?" Grandma Ruth asked once she saw her grandson struggling with the same problem for 10 minutes. Ally giggled and nodded. "Sure," she agreed as she walked over to Austin who was sat at the table.

"Need any help?" Ally asked while pulling a chair up beside him. Austin nodded gratefully and pointed to the problem he was on while rubbing his temple. Ally smiled and told him how to do the problem correctly. Austin nodded understandingly and worked it out.

A&A

"See, you got it," Ally exclaimed 30 minutes later as Austin finished his homework. He sighed in relief and leaned back in the chair. "Thank you so much, Ally. You're a genius," he said while smiling at her. "I try," she said while standing up.

"Okay, you two. Who wants cake?" Grandma Ruth asked while setting the cake on the table. The storm had gotten worse, but luckily the power was still going. "Me," Austin said as he stood up to get three plates from the cabinet.

Grandma Ruth cut the cake while Austin set the plates down on the table, and Ally carefully served the cake on the plates. Austin smiled happily as he grabbed a fork and began to eat.

"Austin, honey, slow down. I'm pretty sure Ally won't like you if you continue to eat like that," Grandma Ruth said nonchalantly while taking a bite of her cake. Austin's eyes widened, and he almost choked on his cake. Ally blushed a crimson red and looked down.

Austin cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes at Grandma Ruth, who just smiled and winked. After all, she was just helping him out with a girl.

1. I don't own it, but it's pretty interesting to watch when it's storming. (:
