There's a clock we'll ignore

Find a way around it

**Flashback**

"Please Ally, c'mon it'll be fun. Pretty please." He begged giving her his best puppy dog eyes. They were on their way to the Team Austin & Ally meeting, Ally was driving them there because apparently she was a "safe" driver and he wasn't . Over the years Austin had invested some of his money in a car.

Ally looked at him and tried not to give in but failed miserably, she could never resist those eyes.

"Fine we can go to the beach-but only for ten minutes otherwise we're going to be late for the Team Austin & Ally meeting. Trish is going to be so mad." She could already hear Trish's voice nagging at her.

"Yes!" He shouted pumping his fist into the air, "We're going to the beach!"

"But only for ten minutes," she reminded him. Austin chose not to comment.

Ally parked the car and got out reluctantly, meanwhile Austin was already halfway down the beach. Austin turned around and wasn't really surprised to see the brunette trailing slowly behind him. Suddenly he got an idea and turned around heading straight for Ally.

"Oh, I see you finally saw the light. Good now we can go to the meeting where we're supposed to be. Wait-what are you doing? Austin Monica Moon you put me down this instant." Ally demanded.

As Austin walked the only thing that could be heard were the waves crashing on the shore and Ally's demands that he put her down, which he chose to ignore.

"Austin put me down." She demanded for what she felt was the hundredth time.

"You want me to put you down?" He asked her.

"Yes!" she replied exasperated with him.

"Okay."

"Okay, as in you'll put me down?" she asked.

"Yup." He replied with a smirk on his face.

"Good. I'm-," Ally began but stopped when she realized what Austin was about to do.

"Austin don't you dare!" But it was too late. The water was icy cold, shivering she resurfaced.

"Austin Monica Moon!" she spluttered out looking up only to see Austin laughing so hard he had tears streaming down his face. He continued laughing ignoring her until Ally splashed him with some of the cold water. He abruptly stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes at her.

"If I were you I wouldn't start something I won't be able to finish. Dawson."

"Oh really rock star?" She taunted, "I was under the impression that you weren't going to do anything."

"Well obviously you got the wrong impression." He took off his jacket and shirt and began wading towards Ally. Ally couldn't help but admire his toned physique, he wasn't ripped but he wasn't the scrawny boy that had been playing drums with corndogs.

Snapping out of her thoughts she saw Austin approaching quickly,"Austin, stay away from me!" She warned him.

"Nope, you asked and you shall receive." He took a deep breath and went under the surface heading directly for Ally.

Ally who hadn't been expecting it began to frantically search the water for any sign of Austin.

Just as she had given up she felt something tug at her leg. She shrieked jumping a mile out of the water.

"Wow Ally, you scream like a girl." Austin laughed resurfacing.

"Austin you scared me!" She panted having trouble breathing. "Anyways this is coming from the kid who said tights were tight!" She countered, mocking the voice he had used when they were making the commercial for Ms. Suzy's Soups.

"Hey, I was fifteen, my voiced hadn't changed yet." He retorted embarrassed that she still remembered that.

"Oh yeah, how about yesterday when I walked up behind you in the practice room? You screamed like a little girl then. What's your excuse for that?" She inquired raising an eyebrow.

"I-I... I don't know! Why are you only asking me?" he exclaimed, "Dez screams like a girl too I don't see you interrogating him!" He exclaimed.

"That's because it's Dez. You can't really question Dez can you?" She asked.

"No, you can't." He sighed.

"Good now let's go. I'm freezing, which I wouldn't be if someone hadn't thrown me in." She said looking pointedly at him. Austin had enough sense to look ashamed of throwing her in the water.

"I'm sorry Ally. It's just you're so serious all the time! You spend most of your time doing homework or working at Sonic Boom. And when you're not you're helping me write a song, you're writing songs for yourself. You never have time to relax, you're always so busy doing things for other people but you never take time to do anything for yourself.

I feel like all I do is take and take but never give anything back in return. I feel like I need you more than you need me and that scares me. You're pretty, successful, God knows just how talented you are, and you have your whole career ahead of you. One day you might wake up and realize I'm not worth all the time and effort. I'm scared Ally, I'm so scared that one day I'll wake up and you won't be there. I don't know what I'd do without you." He said honestly.

Ally looked at the blond boy and realized how scared he truly was.

"Austin you don't have to worry about that I'll never leave you. I mean why would I?" She asked him.

"I don't know Ally, you might want to go to M.U.N.Y. like you've always dreamed of. Then what am I supposed to do?"

"Yeah Austin, maybe that was my dream. But it's changed, we've changed. We're not fifteen any more Austin. We've matured since then. I don't have stage fright anymore, you don't eat ice cream off your pants anymore, Dez doesn't text the dog, and Trish has finally managed to keep a steady job. We're as mature as any 18 year old can get." She tried to assure him.

"Ally I'm still scared." He whispered. Ally took a step closer to him and grabbed his hands.

"Austin look at me." Austin raised his head to look at her. All he saw was hope, hope for what the future would bring.

"Don't be scared Austin there's no reason to be. Remember all the songs we wrote? We're better together."

Ally pulled Austin into a hug reassuring him that she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"Friends." Ally murmured into his chest.

"And partners...always." Austin murmured kissing the top of her head.

**End Flashback**

The next day when Austin saw Trish she had been absolutely furious. Lecturing Austin about how she had finally gotten there on time and they hadn't even bothered to show up. But as soon as Austin said he had been at the beach with Ally her demeanor completely went from furious to a smirk.

"Trish it wasn't like that. I swear!" He had tried to explain.

"That's okay Austin don't say another word I forgive you. I hope you take good care of her." She had responded, walking away leaving Austin resembling a blond puffer fish.

To this day Austin was still confused as to what she had meant.
