OH. MY. GOSH. Thank you so so so so much! I seriously appreciate each and everyone of your lovely reviews! We finally reached 100, and I'm so sorry that I didn't update yesterday. Anyway, I'm giving shout-outs at the bottom, but for now, Sofia Michelle, thank you! You were the 100th review!(: I love you all so much!

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally. I'm somewhat used to you by now. I still don't like you, though. Just sayin'.

A&A

Yes, Grandma Ruth was in fact very smart. By now, you should now just how smart she can be. She knew exactly why Austin would like a girl like Ally. Simply because she'd known the way that guys looked at Ally. They had something in their eyes that Grandma Ruth didn't like one bit. But it was the way that Austin looked at Ally that told Grandma Ruth just how much he really liked her.

Now, she knew he liked Ally, but that doesn't mean that he himself would admit it. In fact, he did the exact opposite.

"No, I don't like Ally. She's just my first friend here. My first real friend. That's all," Austin explained while biting his lip. It seemed as if he were upset for something. Grandma Ruth shook her head and scoffed.

"Austin, honey, you can deny it all you want, but I'll never believe you," Grandma Ruth said while sitting down at the table with a cup of tea. She had really embarrassed Austin the evening before when she clearly implied that he liked Ally. He was still angry about it, too.

Ally's dad had picked her up a few hours after, once the storm had died down. He smiled as he remembered walking home from the park. It'd been the bravest thing he'd ever done while being here. Well that and driving around in the beast.

Austin shook his head and rolled his eyes while mixing his hot chocolate. "Whatever," he mumbled before taking a sip. Grandma Ruth smirked and sighed. "You know, Ally's birthday is coming up. You should get her something nice. Like a big teddy bear with a heart that has 'I Like You, But I'm Too Shy To Tell You' written across it," Grandma Ruth suggested while drinking her tea.

Austin narrowed his eyes and sighed in defeat. "I'm going to pretend you never said that last part. Is her birthday really coming up?" he asked curiously. Of course he wasn't going to get her a teddy bear. She deserved more than a stuffed animal. Way more.

Grandma Ruth nodded and set her cup down in front of her. "Yes. Tomorrow to be exact," she replied while smiling. Austin's eyes widened as he realized how close it was. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I only have one day to get her something good. Oh no, this is bad." He was clearly panicking, and Grandma Ruth laughed.

"Austin, calm down. Ally's not one to make a big deal about her birthday, which is probably why she didn't tell you in the first place. She likes to be alone on her birthday," Grandma Ruth explained. She stood up and walked toward the sink to wash her cup.

"Why?" Austin asked while doing the same. Yes, after being here for almost 2 weeks, he'd actually began to wash his own dishes. "She just likes to be peaceful. She's a quiet girl that would rather stay indoors on her birthday," she once again explained. She was happy to know that her grandson was, for once, interested in something.

"Oh, okay. Is it alright if I at least get her something. Would she mind?" Austin asked worriedly. He'd hate to get her something if she wasn't going to like it. Grandma Ruth shook her head and smiled. "She won't mind one bit. Maybe it'll do her some good for someone to hang out with her. Go ahead and get her something. I'm going to be in my room reading, if you don't mind." Austin nodded, and Grandma Ruth ruffled his hair before smiling and walking down the hallway.

Austin smiled and went up to his room to brainstorm ideas of what to get Ally. Yeah, this would be hard.

A&A

Ally's mind, all day, had been replaying the same scene over and over again. She just couldn't take anything to do with Austin off of her mind. She'd tried to distract herself by playing the piano, but somehow Austin would creep into her mind. She couldn't forget his perfect-looking blonde hair, his light brown eyes, and his smile.

Yeah, she was fine.

Okay, she wasn't.

The last time that some had been in her mind that much was when she had begun to date Dustin, but even then, it wasn't this bad. She could at least call him up and tell him he was on her mind. It'd be a tad bit awkward to tell Austin that.

She sighed as she stood up from the bench and threw herself on the the couch. She buried her head into the pillow and closed her eyes. Might as well take a nap and hope that her dreams would be Anti-Austin.

A&A

"Pst, Ally. Ally, wake up," Austin said while lightly shaking her. He had been in his room trying to think of something to get her but gave up since the only thing that came to mind was the teddy bear suggestion. Believe him, that is not something that he wanted to give her. Since he couldn't think of anything, he decided to ask her what she wanted. It made sense, didn't it?

Ally opened her eyes and sat up slowly. "Austin?" She rubbed her eyes and stood up swiftly. "What are you doing here?" she asked. Austin smiled. "I came to ask you something super important," he said while clasping his hands together.

Ally motioned for him to take a seat. "Okay, what is it?" She put her messy hair up in a pony-tail and sighed tiredly. Austin looked away from her before continuing. She was more beautiful than humanly possible. Well, Austin thought so. Chances were, he wasn't the only one.

"Uhh. Uhm, well, what would you like for your birthday?" he asked quietly. He hated that he acted so shy around her. It wasn't anything like him to act shy around a girl. But then again, Ally wasn't just a girl.

Ally's eyes widened, and she stood up quickly. "How did you know about my birthday?" she asked. Austin raised an eyebrow and stood up, too. "Grandma Ruth told me since you didn't," Austin said while pointing at her. Ally sighed. "Because I didn't want you to know," she said defensively.

"And why not, Ally?" he asked curiously. Ally shrugged. "I just didn't think you wanted to know," she replied and bit her lip. She looked down and sighed. Austin moved closer. "Why wouldn't I want to know, Ally? Aren't we friends?" he asked, offended.

Ally looked up quickly and shook her head repeatedly. "No, no. That's not it!" Austin raised an eyebrow. The fact that they were sort-of fighting was intriguing. They seemed like a couple. Yeah, a couple.

"Then what is it?" Austin asked while crossing his arms. He wanted to make it clear that he wasn't leaving until his question was answered. Truthfully.

"I don't know, Austin. I just- I'm confused," Ally stated while covering her face and sitting down. Austin sat down next to her and began to think. He could simply ask her what was wrong and risk making her cry, or he could keep his mouth shut and never know why. (1)

Curious as always, he asked her what was wrong. However, she didn't cry. She just looked at him and shrugged slightly before asking him something. Something that he knew the answer to, but he wouldn't admit to himself.

"Austin," she had started, "why are you so nice to me?" Now, yes, Austin did know the answer. That answer, however, was not to be said aloud for one reason. He was stubborn. Oh, so very stubborn.

As he continued to check his mind for the best excuse, Ally smiled. "Austin? I know what I want for my birthday," she said. She had truly saved him from completely embarrassing himself.

Austin looked up suddenly interested and urged her to continue. "Just one thing, Austin. That's all," she quietly whispered. Austin, who at this point was impatient, sighed dramatically. "Okay, okay. What is it?" he asked, eyes shining brightly with excitement.

With the next words that came out of that girl's mouth, Austin's eyes only shone more, if possible. The way she had said it; like she really wanted it.

"Austin," she paused and continued while looking at him, "I want you to sing for me."

1. I'm a master at rhyming. Haha, just kidding. It just happened. :)
