I finished early so I figured I might as well update. Hope you had a good week. This chapter is just going to be one big flash back.

Love You :)

If you got a broken heart,

You can punch me in the arm

Now that's what you needed (That's just what you needed)

**Flash Back**

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is it."

Austin, Ally, and Dez all had their eyes glued to the TV screen waiting for Jett Deely to announce the #1 music video.

"Your pick for the #1 music video of the day is… coming up right after this break."

"Oh, really?!"

"Oh, come on!"

As usual, Trish arrived late announcing her new job of the day, "Guess who got a job at Daisy's Bouquets? I did. It's a flower shop. I'll probably get fired soon. So what'd I miss?"

"Video Countdown Live is almost over and still no sign of 'No Ordinary Day'." He said glumly.

"That means "No Ordinary Day" is either #1 or out of the top 10 completely." Ally explained.

"We can't be out." Dez exclaimed.

"Quiet! It's back on." Trish shushed them.

"America voted. The results are in. Your pick for the #1 video of the day is… "No Ordinary Day" by Austin Moon!"

"I can't believe it." He, Austin Moon had a #1 video.

"I directed a #1 video."

"Congrats, Dez! Austin, you and Kira look great." Ally complimented.

"We're just lucky people can't smell her breath through their TV, or there'd be no one left to vote for the video." Austin shuddered recalling just how bad Kira's breath was.

"Sometimes in my dreams, I can still smell it." Dez said being overdramatic as usual.

"It's a bummer. Kira seems really cool. I'd totally ask her out if her breath didn't smell like rotting…" Turning around he saw Kira approaching, "Oh, hey, Kira!"

"Hey, guys. Congratulations." The gang braced themselves waiting for Kira's bad breath but there was nothing.

"Wait. Say that again." This time they leaned in a little closer.

"Congratulations?" Kira repeated questioningly.

"One more time. A little breathier." They held their breath and moved even closer to her.

"You guys are silly. It's so good to see you."

They all exhaled, it seemed as if Jimmy had done something about Kira's bad breath.

"Anyways, my dad knew your video was gonna be #1 and wanted me to give you these." Kira handed him an envelope.

He opened it and read what it said aloud, "Congratulations, on behalf of Starr Records, enjoy these four ultimate wrestling tickets."

"What up!"

"Oh, ultimate wrestling tickets, something we can all enjoy." Trish said sarcastically.

He saw that the girls weren't very ecstatic about the tickets, "Hey. Let's all go celebrate by getting pizza, on me."

Ally and Trish immediately agreed and started heading toward Mini's.

Not wanting to be rude, he turned to Kira, "Wanna come with, Kira?"

"Sure." Kira agreed.

They spent lunch just hanging out laughing and eating. Kira fit right into the group and it seemed as if they all liked her.

"Okay, I'm definitely asking her out." He said making up his mind.

"Uh, whoa, bad idea. You can't date your boss' daughter." Trish said.

"But I like her." Sure, it wasn't the smartest idea but he really liked her.

He turned to Ally, she was always the smart and sensible one, and she would know what to do. "I say go for it. Follow your heart. Don't let anyone get in your way."

And with that Ally left to go watch the store. Austin sat brooding while Trish and Dez bickered. Finally, he made his decision; he was going to ask her out.

He got his chance in Sonic Boom.

"So, Kira, I was wondering if maybe you'd wanna you know go out sometime? Like on a date." He crossed his fingers hoping for a yes.

"A date? Are you being serious?"

Ouch.

"Huh. Not exactly the response I was looking for." In truth, he felt a little hurt.

"No, it's just that I thought you and Ally liked each other."

Each other? Sure maybe he liked Ally a little but there was no way she liked him back.

"Trust me, Ally and I are just friends." And it would always remain that way.

"All right, As long as there's nothing going on between you and Ally I'll go out with you."

After Kira left he headed up to the practice room to begin planning their date. He sat there for an hour unable to come up with one decent idea. He frantically began pacing back and forth. He had told Kira they were going out tomorrow but not the time or place. Ally walked in on him and his intense pacing.

"Hey Austin, what's up?" Ally asked a little uncertainly.

"I asked Kira out and she said yes."

"That's great!" Ally squealed.

"But, I don't know where to take her."

"Oh, well then let me help you plan the perfect date." Ally grabbed her book off the piano and took the seat across from him.

"Tell me what your perfect date would be." Austin got a sense of déjà vu, him sitting across from Ally talking about his feelings.

"We'd go to a zombie convention, grab some pancakes, and then play video games in Dez's basement." He saw the look Ally was giving him, "What? He's got an awesome TV."

"Austin, it's gotta be special. This isn't a guys' night out." She set her book down and ran off to get something.

"Picture this, a picnic under the stars, a romantic movie's playing." He saw that she had grabbed a blanket and was spreading it out on the practice room floor.

"Ooh! Like "Bikini Beach Blood Bash"!" He said excitedly.

"Um, I'm thinking even more romantic." She said leading him over to the picnic blanket.

"Ooh! "Bikini Beach Blood Bash II" Babes in Barbados"."

'More like "Le Voyage De L'amour". It's a silent movie playing in the park tomorrow." Ally explained.

"Silent? Is it at least in 3D?" He asked hopefully.

"Austin, be serious." She grabbed his arm and pulled him down onto the blanket.

"Imagine! Kira's there." Closing his eyes, he could just picture it.

At the sound of Ally's voice he opened them again, "Her eyes sparkling in the moonlight; sparkle, sparkle, sparkle, sparkle."

Ally's were always sparkling, their warmth drawing him in.

"The breeze blowing her hair, breeze, breeze, breeze, breeze."

He had always loved her hair, it had been quite a shock when she dyed but it suited her, the caramel tips adding to her warm personality.

"What can you do to show her how you feel?" Tearing his eyes away from her he thought for a moment.

"I can get her a gift!" His gaze fell upon her necklace, "Oh, I know! I'll get her a necklace with her name on it just like yours!"

"Perfect! She'll Love that." Ally responded her voice faltering; Austin in his excitement missed it.

"I'll wait to the most romantic part of the movie-"

"-She'll be all cute and love-y."

He moved closer to her, "I'll lean in, put my arm around her."

"She'll nuzzle up, feeling butterflies." He pulled her closer to him, enjoying the feeling of her against him.

"My heart will be beating out of my chest." His heart was racing, it all felt so surreal. "It'll be..."

"Perfect." They said together. He laughed softly at their ability to read each other's minds, looking at Ally he found her looking at him in a way he couldn't decipher. He was about to say something when Dez burst in babbling something about needing mustard for his cereal.

Not bothering to look at Ally, he fled out of the room.

Needing something to keep his mind occupied he headed to Everything's Beachy. (Featured in Tunes and Trials where Dez is frosting a cake) In his spare time he enjoyed helping the owner polish surfboards. Grabbing a board he took some wax and a rag and set to work. He worked for a while enjoying the silence but the silence didn't last long. He just couldn't ignore what had happened in the practice room.

Where had everything gone wrong? That was just supposed to be a mock date, practice for his real date with Kira. But why had it felt so real? He couldn't keep having these feelings for Ally, not when he was going on a date with another girl, a girl he also had some feelings for. When did things get so complicated?

When you fell in love with your best friend.

He wasn't in love with Ally, there was no way.

Keep telling yourself that.

Familiar voices interrupted his thoughts, peering around the wall he saw Trish and Ally, Ally was holding a bag full of stuff. He went back to work knowing that they would probably just start talking about random girly stuff.

"Trish, check out what I got for Austin's date with Kira." They hadn't spotted him yet, hidden away. "A cozy picnic blanket, a jar of pickles. I like Austin, heart Shaped Salami's..."

The tub of wax Austin was holding crashed to the ground. He quickly picked it up and checked to make sure that Trish and Ally hadn't heard him.

"Wait, say that again." He heard Trish ask.

"Heart Shaped Salami's?"

"No, the part about you liking Austin!"

"Oh, that? Well, yeah, I like Austin!" He heard Ally say.

He heard a shriek and quickly checked to make sure the girls were okay, to his surprise he saw Ally and Trish jumping and hugging.

"Ally this is huge! How did it happen?" Trish asked.

"Well, we were pretending we were on the perfect date, and it felt like...Like we were on the perfect date!"

It wasn't just him, Ally had felt it too.

"You need to tell Austin." He overheard Trish say.

"But he likes Kira." He heard Ally respond.

"Well if he knew how you felt maybe he wouldn't anymore!" Trish tried to reason with Ally.

"If I say something, and he doesn't feel the same way, everything will be ruined, our friendship, our partnership, everything!" Austin could hear the desperation in her voice.

"Promise me you won't tell anybody." Guilt washed over Austin, he was eavesdropping on a very private conversation.

Austin turned away from the conversation the two best friends were having. He still couldn't believe it. Yesterday if someone had told him that Ally liked him he would have called them crazy. But today, today he heard the words himself.

Now what was he supposed to do? He had a date with Kira tomorrow. Should he go or should he wait and see what happened with his and Ally's relationship.

Things used to be a lot simpler. He finished waxing the boards, making sure Ally and Trish were gone he left the mall and headed home. He paced around his room, played guitar, practiced the piano, tried to watch Zaliens but he just couldn't get Ally's words out of his head.

I like Austin.

Ugh! He needed to talk to someone, pulling out his phone he called the only person he could talk to about this.

"Hey Blondie, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Cassidy's voice came through the speaker.

"Ally likes me." He blurted out.

"Come again?"

"Ally likes me." He repeated.

"And you're calling me because?" Cassidy asked confused.

"Because I don't know what to do." Austin cried out.

"Okay start from the beginning, when did she tell you she liked you?"

Austin recounted the day from the beginning all the way up to the phone call.

"Wow, your life's a mess." Cassidy stated bluntly.

"Cassidy." Austin whined, "You're not helping. Tell me what to do."

"You want my opinion Blondie fine. You've been calling me almost every day for year talking about Ally and how wonderful she is, complaining about Dallas, and telling me what you would do if she were your girlfriend. Now that you have that opportunity, you run away. Honestly, you're being a coward."

He was not expecting that.

"But-"

"But nothing." Cassidy interrupted, "you either ask that girl out or I'll fly back to Miami and make you do it."

"But what about Kira?"

"You haven't gone a date with Kira, just cancel it. No harm no foul, I'm sure she'll understand considering the fact she was suspicious from the start." Cassidy sighed heavily, "Look Blondie I have to go but just remember what you promised me."

"That I'd give it my all. Thanks Cassidy, I must be getting annoying."

"It's okay Blondie, just do what you think is best for both of you. Keep in mind your happiness and hers." Austin said his good-byes and hung up.

He sat down at his desk, staring at the framed picture of him and Ally. It was him and Ally sitting at the piano, they were sitting at the piano goofing around. She was wearing a pink dress with a black collar while he was wearing a gray striped shirt. Dez had snapped the picture of them and given it to Austin.

"Thought you might want this."

Since then he had framed it and put on his desk. Picking it up Ally's words echoed in his head.

If I say something, and he doesn't feel the same way, everything will be ruined, our friendship, our partnership, everything!

He did feel the same way, but he also worried. He wondered what could happen if they went out and then broke up, would they be able to remain friends. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her, he had almost lost her once to New York, and he wasn't going to lose her because of a bad break up. Everything was at stake, he needed to think this through carefully. He got ready for bed, pulling Dougie closer to him he fell into a fitful sleep.

(Page Break)

Walking in he saw Ally and Trish having a heated discussion, "Hey, guys."

Ally gave Trish a glare before turning towards Austin.

"All right, Austin. You're all set for your perfect date." She handed him a picnic basket full of stuff for his date.

"Thanks for doing all this for me, Ally. You're a good friend."

Friend, he hated that word.

"No problem, buddy." She punched him in the arm a smile on her face, but he could see the pain in her eyes.

"Well, I better go to my perfect date, don't wanna keep the perfect girl waiting." He said his voice lacking enthusiasm.

"Sometimes the perfect girl is closer than you think." Trish pushed Ally closer to him thinking he wouldn't notice.

She really was perfect, from the way she smiled to way she danced. But she wasn't his and she never would be.

"Thanks again, Ally. I don't know what I would have done without you." He said gratefully as she walked him out.

"No problem, pal." She punched him again, this time a lot harder.

She was hurt but Ally would never let him know, if he hadn't overheard them he wouldn't have known either. He left, with every step he took his heart fell. However, it was for the best.

After his date with Kira he walked by Sonic Boom. Even though it was really late, he needed to see if she was still there. From a distance, he saw her admiring the floral arrangement he had sent her. She had set it atop the grand piano where they had written their first song. He watched her pull the card he had sent away from the arrangement. It had taken him a while and several tries to write what he wanted to say. Several crumpled cards later he was finished.

"Are you sending your girlfriend flowers?" The sweet old lady had asked him.

"No." he said sadly

"Oh sweetie I'm sorry." She had said sympathetically.

"Yeah, I am too." Tears stinging the corners of his eyes he had left the shop.

He could hear her sweet voice reading aloud to herself.

There's no way I can make it without you.

Turning away, he made the lonely journey home.
