(if you got a broke heart, you can punch me in the arm)

Austin had never had a good feeling about Dallas. How can anyone manage to break a guitar pick without even playing an instrument with it? He would never understand what his songwriter/best friend(kinda, maybe crush) saw in her current crush.

But as he walks past the cell phone accessory cart he doesn't see Ally at her usual spot. But instead just Dallas standing there, alone.

"Huh, that's weird. I wonder where she is. She's always been there ever since they started dating."

Once Austin reaches near Sonic Boom he hears a familiar sound. It sounded like the time Dez cried during chick flick movie they decided to watch bored one night. He would never admit it but he maybe, possibly, just cried a little too.

Now he was looking for the source of the strange sounds. Then he saw it or her actually.

There in a bench that was in a corner was Ally. She was crying silently but not silent enough for Austin's super sonic hearing to detect. Or he just had a knack for knowing when something was wrong with Ally.

He approached her and when he got close enough, stood there. What do I say to a crying girl? Do I say something funny? Maybe I should just sit next to her and cry with her to make her feel better. Austin had no idea when it came to these things. But it was okay because it was almost as if his heart had a plan of it's own. The singer sat down next to his crying songwriter.

"Ally what's wrong? Are you crying or do you just have something in your eye?"

The small joke made Ally smile a little.

"There it is! That smile that could brighten up the whole world."

She smiled even brighter than before. "I guess the joke was the right way to go." Austin thought as he stared at the smiling beauty in front of him.

"Thanks Austin." Ally spoke as she sat up a little straighter in the bench. "So what are you doing here crying? Aren't you usually with Dallas at his cell phone booth?" This made Ally's smile fade away but not completely. "No we broke up today. Apparently our horrible dancing skills wasn't enough to keep our relationship going."

She got up and started to walk into Sonic Boom with Austin right behind her trail. They stopped right in front of the counter where Austin has been scolded by Ally to never, ever sit on.

"Well I can't really say I know exactly how to make the pain go away. But just remember what I'm about to say to you." Intrigued Ally moved close to Austin to listen to what he was going to say.

"If you ever have a broken heart, you can punch me in the arm."

"Really, are you sure?"

"Go ahead. I'm not going to get hurt. How hard could you possibly punch anyway?"

Then all of a sudden Austin felt a mixture of regret and pain as Ally punched in his right arm. "Damn she throws punches like professional boxers" he thought as he let out a shriek like a girl.

"You know that would actually make a great lyrics for a song." She dashed for their practice room. Meanwhile Austin stood still at the counter but now holding his bruised arm.

Man was it going to hurt in the morning.

He was a famous singer. He had millions of fans everywhere around the world. A great number of them were teenage girls probably around his age. And yet here he was on a Saturday night all alone.

It's not like he hasn't tried to make plans with people. But Trish said she'd rather be doing anything but hang out with him. Dez said that Carrie and him were out flying their llamas. Ally was out on a date with her current boyfriend, Elliot. The two had met years ago at an Arts & Crafts Camp. They had reunited when Elliot moved to Miami recently.

Austin, for the most part, liked Elliot. But he would never think any boy would be perfect for Ally. No one would ever be able to match her perfection.

There were times where Austin thought Elliot was less masculine side. The fact that he carries a glue gun with him at all times is suspicious. But as long as Ally was happy he wouldn't dare question it.

This is how life had been for Austin lately. Everyone had plans with others while he was left to wallow in his self-pity. But he didn't mind because sometimes you just need time to yourself.

His eyes were beginning to close as he started to fall asleep. Then suddenly a loud bang from his bedroom door woke him up. He opened his eyes to see Ally. She sat down next him with a pout.

"What's wrong Als?"

"Elliot's moving. His dad got transferred again."

He gave her a small smile and a comforting rub on the back. But secretly he was happy about this. Not that Ally was sad, but that they broke up. Because this meant that they could have more Austin & Ally Time. Now he wouldn't be alone on weekends. It's not like Ally wouldn't get over the breakup anyway. But he'd never tell her of his new found joy in her breakup.

"At least now you don't have to go on dates where you make bird houses." Austin joked, "and then hold his glue gun instead of holding hands."

At that Ally punched Austin in the arm. Thankfully she didn't seem to be as sad as before. This made Austin feel much more contempt.

"He wasn't that bad. He was a very romantic and very sentimental boyfriend."

"Someone who takes you to tug-of-war tournaments isn't romantic."

That earned him another punch in the arm from the girl.

Fate could cruel at times. She just had to have those kinds of feelings now that he was taken. But there's no way she'd ever tell him. He was happy. Why should she be a home wrecker? But at times it did become difficult to be pretend to be okay with it all when he seemed so in love.

Her train of thoughts were interrupted as she her best-friend (crush) walked into the music store. Except he was talking on the phone with someone. Ally could already tell who it was. Just the thought of someone who wasn't her making him happy made Ally sad. But she tried her best not to show it off.

"Okay I got to go but I'll see you tonight for our date."

"Hey Aus-" Ally spoke thinking he had hung up the phone but apparently not.

"No you hang up first."

This cliché moment went on for about five more minutes before Ally had had enough. She grabbed his phone and hung up the conversation herself. Austin stood there gaped at her.

"Oh sorry. I could've sworn you were talking to me."

Austin seemed to buy it as he shook off what just happened. He accepted her apology as he took his phone back. Ally frowned as he turned away to call his girlfriend back. Dez walked into Sonic Boom with a turkey leg.

"Hey Dez what's with the turkey?"

"I was just teaching it how to talk"

Ally didn't bother to question him because by now she had gotten used to his obscure antics. After the moment had passed Dez put the turkey aside before giving Ally a look. She eyed him suspiciously.

"Dez why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because the love-whisperer is sensing some tension."

Ally was about to tell him that no one calls him that. But she didn't want to because she knew his accusations were correct.

"You have to promise not to tell anyone. But I like Austin and him dating is practically slowly killing me."

Dez gasped and was about to respond when Austin came back into the room. Austin asked what they were talking about. But Ally covered Dez's mouth and told him that they were just chatting about nothing. Again, the boy thought nothing of it so Ally changed the subject.

"So what times your date with the 'gf'?" Dez asked as Ally glared at him in her head.

"Actually I have to go get ready for it. I'll see you guys later?" Ally frowned at this. She had barely talked to him. In fact she really only got to say one word to him.

"Well I hope you have a good time on your date, friend." Ally said as she punched his arm.

She couldn't help it. Her heart really hurt at this moment. Anyway he's been oblivious the entire day so he wouldn't figure out the real reason why.

This was proven true as Austin yelled "ow that hurt!" She sheepishly smiled and apologized.

Although Ally was not really sorry at all. The punch really had made her feel better.

Awkward couldn't even begin to describe the situation the singer and songwriter were in at this moment.

They were currently on a double date with their significant other. Austin's girlfriend wanted clarification that Austin didn't like Ally and that she wasn't into him. Although Austin had tried to convince her that he didn't have any of those kinds of feelings for his songwriter many times. But she wouldn't be convinced unless they were all out together.

Austin thought Ally was going to get very defensive and angry. The girl was very normal when asking which was the complete opposite reaction he was expecting. Man Ally is really awesome, Austin thought in his head.

Okay maybe Austin did have little, tiny feelings left for Ally. But he wouldn't let that get in the way of his relationship. Anyway even if he did break up with his girlfriend he'd probably only be facing rejection. There's no way Ally liked him too because she never showed any sort of interest of being with him in that sort of way.

She was also in a relationship herself. What Austin didn't know was Ally also had feelings for him. But she had met this guy at Sonic Boom a few weeks ago. Ally decided to put her feelings for Austin aside to give this guy a chance because she thought Austin would never be able to return her romantic feelings for him.

They couples were dining at "Minis." Each of them ordered the restaurant's new special "Minis Goes Mini to the Max." Which was just food that was even smaller than their regular. The food was probably as small as someone's fingertips. But since it was delicious no one said anything about the small portions.

Actually no one said anything because of the awkwardness in the air. That is until Austin's girlfriend spoke up asking about how their song-writing was going. This sparked up a whole conversation and somehow the duo ended up talking about past memories.

"Remember that time I accidentally dropped you while dancing with a broken leg?"

"Ha yea! Remember that time I accidentally pushed you off the piano bench?"

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe you still remember that. But you remember that time when we-"

It was then did Austin remember the other people they were with, their dates.

"Yep we sure have had great times with all our friends, pal."

It was then that Ally punched Austin's arm. And like always he squealed almost as loud as a little girl. All this reminiscing about past events was bringing back feelings Ally has been trying so hard to keep bottled up. She's gotten so far and she isn't going back now. Not when everyone was happy with how everything was.

So it became silent again and everyone went back to their tiny portioned meals. Ally looked at Austin the same time he went to look at her. Their eyes met and they gave each other small smiles.

Who knows what'll happen in the future? But what Austin and Ally did know was that what ever they did in the future it'd be done together.

Or at least hopefully together. With all these arm punches Ally has been giving Austin he wasn't sure if he'd make it by then. That or he wouldn't have an arm left for her to punch.

Who was Jimmy to deny true love? Austin was beginning to think he was some kind of anti-cupid.

Austin and Ally had finally mustered up enough courage to confess their feelings for each other. They were finally together together. Everything seemed great and their relationship was hitting it off. It seemed as if nothing could ruin it. Except for a home-wrecking boss.

Austin and Ally were planning to announce their relationship status to the whole world. It was going to amazing. It was going to be at an award show where the two were nominated for awards. They were planning on walking the red carpet together. Then they would leave together.

But of course everything not even once could be perfect. When Austin had told Jimmy this he told Austin he couldn't. That the boy had too many teenage girl fans and too much talent to waste it on love. This made Austin furious. Was money and fame more his happiness? Although he didn't ask Jimmy this because he already knew what the answer would be.

When he Ally that they couldn't go to the award show together she looked so sad. Austin couldn't handle it. She just looked so disappointed and depressed. He felt as if he let her down. He apologized many times to her. Each time she would just give him a comforting smile, reassuring him that it was fine and she understood. But by now Austin knew better to know that she was sad but covering it up to make him feel better.

On the night of the award show, Austin and his parents went the award show in a car. But it didn't feel right knowing without Ally there next to him. He had sent Ally flowers saying "See you there? Wish I could be there with you now though. - Love, Austin." It made him smile thinking about the look on her face when she would receive them.

When he got there he saw immediately saw Ally. She looked breathtaking almost angel-like. The thought of her with any other boy that wasn't him made him cringe. So the thought that he couldn't let the other guys in the world know she was his made him cringe even more.

They went up to each other and talked. Austin was about to tell her how beautiful she looked until Jimmy went up to them. They the separated into other directions. But later on an interviewer somehow got them to do an interview together even thought the tried to refuse nicely.

"Hey Austin."

This voice wasn't Ally's but another girl's. It was a girl who was up for the same award as Ally.

"So I recently wrote a duet for a love song and I think you'd be the perfect person to sing it with." the girl said slowly stroking Austin on his arm.

Austin looked over at Ally. She was giving the girl the nastiest look he'd ever seen her have in his time knowing her. She was also stroking the arm Ally always punches him it. It didn't feel right when she was stroking it.

"So what about you Austin and Ally? Any new love in your lives?" the interviewer thankfully changing the subject.

"Nope. Just friends. No new love. Isn't that right, friend?" Ally asked Austin punching him in his other arm.

He held in his scream of pain. He gave her a guilty look before saying, "Yep just friends and family," and punching Ally back in the arm. Although she didn't look like she was in any pain unlike Austin who felt like his arm was about to fall off.

The interview ended not long after that and everyone began making their way inside. Throughout the whole award show Austin keep sneaking glances towards Ally. How could he make this and yet still keep his career? It seemed as if there was no in between. Austin was going to have to quickly make a decision. What was more important in his life; his music career or his love life with Ally?

He suddenly remembered a piece of advice that Dez once gave him while he was in his love whisperer phase. "Without love what's the point of any of this?" It was then did Austin make his decision. He quickly apologized to Jimmy about what he was about to do.

Austin ran towards the stage and asks for the microphone from the person holding it. Conveniently the person was the same girl from before. She gave it him willingly but with a curious look on her face. From the crowd Austin could see Ally with a shocked look on her face.

"Hi everyone. I hope you're all having a pleasant evening. Sorry for interrupting but there's something I have to say. I used to wince at the thought of spending my life with just one person. But now there's one person I can't imagine in my life." Austin continued with love in his voice, "I came here with an intention of introducing that person to you all. She's in the crowd right now and her name is Ally Dawson." The sounds of gasps could be hear throughout the room.

"Ally, you've changed my life so much and for the better. I can't live without you and don't want to. I love you."

"I love you too, Austin."

This was the first time either of them were saying this to one another. Ally ran up stage and embraced Austin as they kissed. As they pulled away Ally punched Austin's arm lightly.

"You scared me so much. Don't ever do that again."

Austin laughed. For the rest of the night they spent the night in love and not worrying about the future. Because they were better together.
