I realized that in the last chapter, Dez had NO DIALOGUE! I was so ashamed that I hadn't given the best character any lines that I'm making up for it in this chapter.

Dez POV

"Dez, are you wearing a night gown?" Austin asked when I entered Trish' room – which I was surprised to see – was really girly.

I looked down at my pajamas. "What? It's comfortable and breezy." I said causing a bunch of people to laugh.

I sat next to Trish when we watched Zaliens 4, and Ally showed up as soon as the credits started to roll – such a coincidence.

"Ally! What took you so long?" Austin asked, abandoning my side and throwing his arm around her.

Ally smiled though it didn't look all that real. It looked more like she was in pain.

"Someone couldn't decide what to wear." Ally rolled her eyes and I frowned.

"Why are you referring to yourself as someone?" I asked and she gave me an exasperated look.

"I wasn't talking about me, Dez." She said as a girl with colored hair walked in with a suitcase. "I was talking about Buni."

I heard Trish groan quietly beside me. Buni batted her eyelashes at me and my stomach turned over. I couldn't help it, she was really pretty.

"Hi." I threw out my hand. "I'm Dez, and you have really pretty hair." I blurted and she giggled.

"I'm Buni, and your freckles are really cute on you." She replied shaking my head and making me laugh.

"Well, yeah." I sighed and she sat next to me and Dallas.

Ally POV

Cassidy crawled over the pillows and blankets to where Trish and I were sitting.

"Ally, your cousin is amazing!" she gushed and showed us her newly cut hair. "She even gave me some clip on high lights!"

Trish rolled her eyes. "You're blinded by the glitz and glam of Clementine Dawson." She said bitterly. "I can't wait until she leaves."

I elbowed Trish. "Trish! She's my cousin. And she's been really nice." I reminded her.

Cassidy nodded. "You're just mad that she's flirting with Dez." Cassidy teased. "She's really not that bad."

Trish looked over to where Buni was sitting and smirked. "Oh really?" she asked and we both looked over to where Buni was flirting with Dallas.

Cassidy fumed. "Oh she has to go."

"What's going on with you and Dallas anyway?" I asked. "Are you guys together or what?"

Cassidy's shoulders sagged. "I have no idea. I don't think Dallas is really good at labels."

Trish and I laughed. "Oh yeah. I know all about that." I said. "You should talk to him."

Cassidy shook her head. "No way. I'm horrible at awkward conversations. I almost died whenever Blondie would talk to me at the Melody Diner."

I grimaced at the reminder that Austin and Cassidy were almost a 'we'. I couldn't help but feel jealous.

"So what are you guys talking about?" Dez asked crawling up to us.

We all became silent when we looked at him…and then we burst into laughter. Buni had taken it upon herself to put makeup on Dez.

"Dez, why are you wearing lipstick?" Trish asked giggling.

Dez frowned. "Because lip gloss makes my lips puff up, duh!"

After the laughter had finally died down, we all gathered in a circle to talk, but of course, Buni happened.

"Let's play spin the bottle." she suggested spinning an empty Coca Cola bottle on the ground. Before it landed on anyone I grabbed the bottle and held it in my hand.

"Let's not." I muttered tossing it behind me, ignoring the loud crash it made.

Buni crossed her arms and pouted, but I ignored her.

"Okay, how about truth or dare?" Buni suggested and when everyone agreed, I did too hesitantly.

"Okay, Ally truth or dare?" she asked and I sighed.

Don't let Buni humiliate you. I reminded myself. "Truth." I said finally.

"Have you and Austin kissed yet?" she asked smiling a little and I turned red. "You have been dating a month after all."

"Changed my mind. I want dare." I said quickly and Buni rolled her eyes.

"Okay, I dare you to answer the question." She said and I frowned.

"Heh, what question?" I asked and she gave me an exasperated look.

She sighed agitated. "Stop stalling Ally."

Austin POV

I knew I probably shouldn't have told Buni that Ally and I haven't kissed yet, but it was impulsive. She just asked, and I told her.

So I had no clue why she was torturing Ally about this, and I had no idea why Ally was being so weird about it.

Ally grimaced. "I'm not stalling. You just aren't being specific."

"Ally, we're all friends, what are you so nervous about?" Dallas asked curiously and Ally frowned at her hands.

"No, Buni. We haven't." I answered for her. "I already told you."

Everyone went silent and Ally turned to me. "You told her?"

My eyes widened. "Um, no."

Ally turned away from me and yawned. "I'm tired. I dare all of us girls to go to bed." She said and walked over to her sleeping bag.

I grimaced knowing that Ally wasn't happy that I had talked to Buni about our personal relationship life. As the guys started to leave I walked over to Ally who was glaring at the wall.

"Hey." I said, and she gave me a fake small smile.

"Hi. Did you say bye to Buni?" she asked bitterly and I frowned.

"Ally, why are you so upset that I talked to Buni?" I asked and she sighed.

"I'm not upset. You better go." She said. "There's a no boys policy at Trish's sleepovers."

I sighed and gave her a hug. "Alright, I'll go. Bye girlfriend." I teased making her smile an actual smile.

"Bye boyfriend." She replied back in the same teasing tone.

Ally POV

After Austin left, Buni made her way over to me looking after him.

"Ally, why haven't you kissed him yet?" she asked seriously and I sighed.

"You know Buni, it's really none of your business." I said pointedly and she sighed.

"I'm just saying, if you're not attracted to him, then I'm interested." She said and I stared open mouthed.

"Clementine Dawson!" I exclaimed and she laughed.

"I'm messing with you Ally." She said and sighed. "You and your friends don't like me much do you?"

I stared at her feeling a little shocked. "Buni, you're my cousin. I love you like you're my sister."

Buni sighed. "But as a person, you think I'm horrible."

I closed my eyes and breathed deeply. "Buni, you're really great and you have a big personality. My friends just aren't really…adapted to it."

She smiled sadly. "Not to mention that Tish is in love with Dez."

I laughed. "So you see it too!" I shook my head. "You just attract guys, and that tends to make girls jealous."

Buni nodded. "Noted. I'll try to tone it down a little." She went to her sleeping bag that was next to mine. "Ally, you know you can trust me right?"

I was silent for a moment, but then I nodded slowly. "Uh, yeah. Of course."

I couldn't decide whether or not that was the truth.

When I feel asleep, I dreamed of Austin. It sounded a little corny, but I can't help what my brain decides for me.

In my dream we were back at Trish's quinceanera, and we were slow dancing again.

"Thanks Austin, this is so sweet." The dream me said, and he shrugged.

"Kay, ready? Time for the dip." I gave him a looked and he smiled. "Don't worry you can trust me."

He dipped me, and I waited for Trish's mom to blow the air horn, but she didn't. Austin started leaning down to kiss me, and I was trapped. I couldn't move…but I didn't want to either.

Then the air horn came.

"Ahh!" I screamed awake.

Trish, Cassidy, and Buni stood over me; Trish with an air horn.

"Jeez Ally. It took you forever to wake up!"

My vision felt bleary and I sniffed. My nose was stuffed up. "I'm sorry you guys, I just sort of –" I went into a coughing fit and Buni squealed.

She ran out of the room and returned with Clorox wipes, and Febreeze. She wiped her arms with the Clorox wipes and sprayed Febreeze in the air near me causing me to go into another coughing fit.

"Give me that!" Trish snapped, snatching the Clorox wipes and Febreeze and throwing them on her bed. "But do you have any hand sanitizer?"

Cassidy ignored then and began to inspect me. "Ally, I think you have a cold."

I groaned and Trish called my dad.

"How did you even get a cold?" Buni asked while rubbing hand sanitizer on her hands.

I shrugged. "It might've been from falling into the mall fountain. But I don't get it. People fall in all the time and they always walk out okay."

Trish grimaced. "Weeeeeeeeellllllll…" she snapped her phone shut. "Nelson threw up in the fountain the other day, and there's a possibility that they just replaced the water instead of cleaning it."

I coughed. "Trish wasn't that your job? Didn't you just get a job as the janitor?"

"No…" Trish said unconvincingly.

Cassidy shook her head. "No Trish, I remember you walking in saying 'Guess who got a job as a janitor?! This is the worst job ever'. I remember because after that you hid inside your own trash can when the other janitors went looking for you."

"Trish!" I coughed and Buni inched away from me.

A few hours later, Austin was sitting at my bedside with rubber gloves and a doctor's mask with a bowl of soup from Mrs. Moon.

"This stinks." Buni pouted in the corner. "I'm sorry you're sick Ally, but you promised to show me around Miami today!"

Austin gave her a look. "You know you could always go to Sonic Boom to work since you're the new employee."

She shrugged, but then brightened up. "Hey Austin, why don't you take me?"

"Sure." Austin shrugged and turned to me. "Feel better Ally."

"Wait!" I coughed and stood up. "I'm feeling better already! Looks like I'll be showing you around Buni!"

Austin shook his head and pushed me down slightly so I was sitting on the bed now. "No way Ally. That was almost very convincing, but your runny nose gave you away."

Buni looked at me and smiled. "Don't worry Ally, I'll keep my hands to myself." She joked and with one last goodbye they were out the door.

Uh oh.
