Hey, Loves! Thank you so so much for your lovely reviews on the previous chapter! They mean a lot :) Anyway, I've got more reviews on this story than I did on Destined to Meet, so I'm ecstatic!(: Love you all for your amazing reviews even though I take forever to update sometimes. Guess what? We almost have 200 reviews! Yay!

Disclaimer: I don't think I own Austin and Ally. However, I do not know. :) *sigh*

A&A

So, as the night dragged on and on, Austin still didn't fall asleep. Why, you ask? He didn't know much more than you did. He was up just thinking about everything, really.

It was almost sun-rise when he decided to get out of bed already. There wasn't a point in trying to sleep anymore. He walked down to the kitchen in his PJ's and wasn't the least bit surprised to see Grandma Ruth cooking away in the kitchen.

"Good morning!" she exclaimed as cheerful as always. He'd never get tired of that joyful voice no matter how irritating her happy mood could get.

"'Mornin'," he mumbled tiredly. Can you really blame him, though? He hadn't slept a wink last night. He'd be lucky if he made it through the whole day.

"Didn't sleep, huh?" she said without looking at him. She was someone that could tell what was wrong with you as soon as she saw or heard you; in this case, she heard Austin. That was just one of her many God-given skills.

He didn't even bother answering because he knew that she'd just send him back to bed either way. "Hey Grandma Ruth, can we just hang out today? I feel like I'm always out with my friends. I don't spend much time with you," he explained.

Grandma Ruth had stopped her cooking to hear her grandson's explanation. She was tearing up as he finished. The fact that he had changed so much made her proud of him. And it was true; when he first got here, the last thing he wanted to do was hang out with Grandma Ruth. Now look at him.

"Oh, Austin. Of course we can 'hang out' as you teenagers call it nowadays. I'm very happy that you're wanting to spend time with me," Grandma Ruth said as she ruffled his hair. Austin smiled and smoothed his hair out.

"So, what can we do first?" he asked. Grandma Ruth went back to her cooking before speaking. "Well, I'm almost done with breakfast so we'll eat first. But, you need to get back up to your room and change. I'll have the food ready when you get back down here." Austin nodded, smiled gratefully, and went back to his room.

Grandma Ruth smiled proudly at her grandson and put 3 extra pancakes on his plate. Hey, he deserved at least that. Well, to him it'd be like his birthday just a bit earlier. Or Christmas. Or- You get the point.

A&A

As expected, Austin went completely wild when he saw that he had a larger stack of pancakes than Grandma Ruth. He had hugged her tightly and sat down to eat his pancakes. If you'd consider shoving everything down your throat, eating.

"Slow down there, hun'. The pancakes are for you and for you only. Plus, we have plenty more mix if you want anymore," Grandma Ruth said as she watched in Austin amazement.

Austin smiled sheepishly and Grandma Ruth laughed while shaking her head. This boy sure was something. And she had the honor of calling him her grandson..

A&A

"Okay, so we're going to do what exactly?" Austin asked. Grandma Ruth had suggested that they go outside and pull weeds or something. He got lost after 'weeds.' He'd never worked outside before. Not with plants anyway.

"We're going to pull weeds. I'll show you how. We can also talk while doing so, and that way you'll learn a little something about plant work. I'm sure Ally wants someone who knows about gardening," she rambled nonchalantly.

Austin blushed and groaned.

"Please don't tease me about it. I mean, wasn't it torture enough when you embarrassed me in front of her when we weren't dating?" he whined. Grandma Ruth shook her head and smirked.

"Nope. I'll always tease you about it. 'Till the day I die," she said slowly as she grabbed two sets of gloves from the cabinet. Austin groaned again as he took a pair of gloves from Grandma Ruth and followed her outside.

"So, how do I do this?" he asked as he looked at the mess in her front yard. The side was filled with different weeds, and it looked absolutely terrible. Surprising since Grandma Ruth seemed to take really good care of her house and property.

"It hasn't rained in a while so I put it off, but since it rained last night, I thought it'd be time to pull them. Are you ready?" she asked. Austin nodded determined and listened intently as Grandma Ruth explained what to do. From making sure they were safe to pulling the weeds out sharply, he listened.

And that's how 2 hours later the two were both thirsty and tired.

"I'm never doing garden work again," Austin muttered as he and Grandma Ruth went inside to get some lemonade. Austin was sweating and, as Grandma Ruth noticed, he was stinky.

Grandma Ruth, however, didn't break a sweat and she still smelled..flowery, as Austin would put it.

Austin poured himself a glass of lemonade and drank it all within a minute. Grandma Ruth took her time as they sat down at the table.

"Okay, so gardening isn't your thing. What'd you do in Boston?" Grandma Ruth asked her grandson. Austin had to think. He'd been here for what seemed like forever that he forgot, just for a moment, his life back in Boston. He sighed as he remembered.

"Not much. All I ever really did was hang out with my so-called 'friends', but that wasn't much fun. All we ever did was make fun of the..well, nerds. Which now that I think about it, I feel absolutely terrible about it," Austin said ashamed.

Grandma Ruth sent him a comforting smile before speaking. "Well, as long as you know it's wrong and you feel sorry, then it's all good. You've really changed in these months, and I know that your parents would be proud of you." Austin nodded and smiled widely.

"Speaking of my parents, do you think you could just tell them that I'm still..stuck-up or whatever?" he asked kindly. Grandma Ruth looked at him confused. For once, she had no clue what he had planned.

"Why? You've changed; don't you want them to know?" she asked in that kind, elderly voice of hers. Austin nodded and then shook his head.

"Yeah, I'd love for them to know that I've changed. I want them to be proud of me, but if you tell them that I've changed.." he trailed off, hoping Grandma Ruth would catch on. And she did.

"If they know you've changed, they'll want you back in Boston. And that means you'll have to leave Miami, which means you'll have to leave your friends. Leaving your friends also means you have to leave me, and leaving me, means to have to leave Ally, too," she said knowingly.

Austin nodded and looked down sadly. "I don't want to leave any of you. But it's not like my parents will just let me stay here unless they see that I need to. And the only way to make sure of that is if they think I'm still that 'terrible-attitude' guy." Grandma Ruth nodded.

"Okay, I won't tell them you've changed. But only if you pull the weeds out for me from now on," she said, making a deal to sweeten things up.

"You're a very manipulative person," he stated. Grandma Ruth nodded and smirked.

"Well, do you want to stay in Miami or not?" she asked. Austin sighed and nodded.

"Yes, Ma'am," he said before shaking her hand.

He used to think he was a controlling person.

Then Grandma Ruth Came Along...

Oh. My. Lord.
Alright, I-I think I'm done. My mind has literally gone blank. I can't think of anything else to write.

No, I'm kidding. I couldn't just leave you guys like this. I love y'all. Anyway, this was more of a filler. Somehow. I'm having trouble with the story. I feel like now that Austin and Ally are together, I don't have much else to write. But I have to get things together. :) Anyway, guys, guys, guys! We almost have 200 reviews! I seriously love you guys so so much! Can we reach 200 by the next chapter? I believe that we can. :)

I have a one-shot that I've been working on. It's pretty long so far. I call it, 'That Cloud-Watching Day.' And, believe it or not, no Cloud-Watching will be done in this one-shot. I'll have it up soon. It'll be like my present for you guys when we reach 200 reviews! Gah, I'm excited to let you guys see it!(:

Thanks once again, and have a wonderful day, Loves!(:
