I love the way you get me

But correct me if I'm wrong

**Flash Back**

Austin had never been one for slow depressing music that was usually Ally's thing but today it just seemed to fit his mood. How was he supposed to help Dez on his movie if he was scared of umbrellas? It was just impossible! The set seemed to be full of them, there was just no escaping them. He continued strumming the guitar, playing a mournful tune; he felt a presence behind him and looked up to see Ally looking at him as if trying to figure out what was wrong.

"Hey, why did you run off like that? It's almost seemed like you were afraid to go under the beach umbrella."

Was he really that transparent?

"That's ridiculous. I mean, who's afraid of umbrellas?" he scoffed trying to downplay his fear.

"I know. That would be weird, right?" Ally said laughing at the thought of someone being afraid of umbrellas.

"It's not weird." He said defensively.

Putting together the pieces she turned to Austin, "No way. You're afraid of umbrellas."

"I know you are, but what am I?" Austin said trying to change the subject.

"You're afraid of umbrellas." Ally replied not about to change the subject so quickly.

"Okay, fine," he admitted, "I'm afraid of umbrellas. Go ahead, laugh. I know you think it's silly." He said slumping into a chair.

Ally took the seat across from him and saw how terrible he felt. "Whaaaaat? I don't think it's silly. I'm afraid of umbrellas too." She told him, "Every time I see an umbrella I'm like... Aaah, umbrellas are so scary." Austin just shook his head at Ally's attempt to make him feel better.

"Nice try. You don't know how tough it is. Umbrellas are everywhere. Patio umbrellas, rain umbrellas, tiny umbrellas they put in fruit drinks..." He said listing off all the different kinds of umbrellas.

"Oh, you mean like this?" Ally said showing him a drink with a little umbrella in it. Austin let a girly scream backing away from Ally.

"Ooh, I'm sorry. Why are you afraid of them anyway?" she asked wondering how it was even possible to develop a fear of umbrellas.

"Can you keep a secret?" he asked her.

"Who would I tell? I go to one party a year." She said annoyed at her lack of a social life.

"Fine. It happened in fourth grade..." He proceeded to tell her the story of how he became afraid of umbrellas.

"Well, now I know why you're afraid of umbrellas." Ally said unsure of how to react.

"I've never been more embarrassed in all my life. That's why I've never told anyone that story before. Not even Dez knows I'm afraid of umbrellas." He sighed.

"Well, your secret's safe with me." Ally said giving him a reassuring smile. "Anyways, I have to watch the store for a while but when I'm done we'll go get some lunch and find a way to solve your problem." Ally told him feeling bad for leaving Austin alone.

"Okay I'll meet you at the mall in an hour." Austin said before leaving.

He wandered aimlessly around the mall wondering when how he was going to film this movie. He had to; he couldn't let his best friend down. Dez was always making videos for him to put up on the Austin Moon website. But his fear of umbrellas was just too great. There was no way he could get over his fear in time to film the movie. Glancing down at his watch he saw it was time to meet up with Ally. With heavy feet and an even heavier heart he made his way to the food court.

Ally waited for Austin to come to the food court hoping that her plan would work. At last she saw Austin coming. Right away she could see how distraught he was.

"What am I gonna do, Ally? Dez is counting one me." He said anxiously.

"I've got a plan. You're afraid of umbrellas because you connect them to a bad memory," Austin nodded agreeing, "To overcome that fear, you have to connect them to a good memory." Austin wondered where she was going with this. "From now on, whenever you think of umbrellas, you're gonna think of your three favorite things."

"Pancakes, cheerleaders, and LeBron James?" He said excitedly.

"Exactly." She stated.

Ally gestured toward a table with a patio umbrella leaning over it from one side, with a serving plate of pancakes, two cheerleaders, and what seemed to be LeBron James.

"You got LeBron James?" He all but screamed.

"No, but I got his Limo Driver." Austin shrugged knowing that Ally did the best she could.

"Now, all you have to do is sit under the patio umbrella, and make a good memory."

"I can do that. Yeah." He said nervously.

Ally saw that he wasn't making a move towards the umbrella so she nudged him towards it.

"You're doing great." She told him trying to encourage him.

Ally finally got him to sit down between the chauffer and the cheerleaders.

"There you go. See?" She said trying to make him feel better.

"I think this is gonna work." He said finally relaxing.

But as soon as he said that it started thundering, and it became extremely windy.

"Uh-Oh. Looks like it's gonna rain." Ally said nervously.

Suddenly a huge gust of wind blew through the mall knocking over the table and the umbrella scaring Austin out of his wits.

Not waiting a second longer he bolted out of the food court leaving Ally standing there.

"Oh Austin what am I going to do with you." She sighed.

Not wanting to get caught in the rain Ally took off towards Sonic Boom. Dez ran past her looking extremely happy but walking she could see that with Austin it was a completely different story, he was just standing by the counter looking completely depressed.

Plopping himself on the piano bench he looked at her pleadingly.

"I don't know what to do, Ally? I should just tell Dez I can't do his movie. I'm never gonna get over my fear." He finished sadly.

Ally knew what she had to do; mustering up all her courage she took a deep breath. "Yes you are. I think I'm ready to tell you how I got my stage fright."

"Really?" He asked shocked. Ally had always refused point blank to tell him how she got her stage fright.

"Yeah, I don't want you to keep going through what I go through. It all happened a couple of years ago..." she said reliving the day her life became a nightmare. "I was auditioning to get into a prestigious music school in New York. They sent a scout down to Florida, and my dad lent the new Sonic Boom to hold auditions." Taking a deep breath she continued, "The scout was really critical of everyone; even really talented people got turned away. I was so afraid of ruining my one chance, I lost it." Ally paused needing a moment to compose herself. "When I sat at that piano bench it was if the piano was my enemy. I've always been musical even when I was in Kindergarten but with all that pressure I just freaked. "

"Anyway, I didn't get in. That's why I have stage fright. You only get so many chances to make it and I don't want to fail again. If I don't perform, I can't fail." Walking away she began to busy herself by stacking music unable to get over the fact that she had blown her chance at making it.

"Wow, Ally. I'm just afraid to be embarrassed again. Your fear is way worse than mine." He said.

"That's kinda why I told you the story." She replied wanting to change the subject.

"Like ten times worse. I mean, my umbrella fear doesn't stop me from chasing my dreams. But your stage fright? Wow. You're a mess." He said shaking his head.

"Okay, I get it." Ally said effectively cutting him off.

"Thanks for making me realize how silly my fear is." He said gratefully. "I'm gonna do Dez's movie. It's only one little umbrella. I can totally do this." He stated confidently. With his head held high he marched out of Sonic Boom and onto the set to finish that movie.

**End Flashback**

And with Ally's help he had done it. Overcoming his fear of umbrellas he had finished Dez's movie which turned out to be a huge success. She was always there we she needed him and that meant more to him than she would ever know.
