AN: I don't really know what to say to you guys but I just wanted to inform you guys that you're totally my favourite persons on earth! Oooh… and also, had any one of you seen the clip Hunks and Hoops from Austin and Ally? It's in the website of Disney Channel Australia and I get to see how Piper and Gavin looked like. My opinion, I don't really want to watch the episode coz I am and forever will be an Auslly and Raura shipper! So now I want you guys to watch it, and tell me what you think of it!
Disclaimer: I own nothing… except the plot and the laptop I'm using right now to write this (wait, it's not mine, it's my dad's.. sorry Dad!)
Ally was already waiting for Austin in the front even though he wasn't due to picking her up until 30 minutes later. She picked up her novel and opened it to the pages she had marked before.
"Hey, Ally!" Trish suddenly came out of nowhere. "What are you doing?"
"Waiting for Austin," Ally answered shortly, not paying attention to Trish, but looking at her book. When she noticed Trish didn't say a word at all, she knew she had said the wrong thing. "He's picking me up for school." Ally explained.
No answer.
Ally finally looked up at Trish, annoyed. Trish was grinning from ear to ear. "You and Austin huh?" Trish cooed deviously. Ally blushed but shook her head no.
"Trish, I'm already with Dallas," Ally mumbled and rolled her eyes at Trish.
"Uh-huh," Trish hummed a reply in disbelief. "That's strange. Coz usually the 'boyfriend'," air quote on the word boyfriend, "is the on who picks his 'girlfriend'," another air quote on the word girlfriend, "and not bestfriend which shall I remind you is a boy who picks up the 'boyfriend's' 'girlfriend'." Trish commented harshly. "Where's Dallas anyway? I haven't seen him with YOU his girlfriend since forever!"
"It's only a day," Ally frowned. "Don't be silly, Trish."
"That's the point!" Trish groaned in frustration. "You're clearly new to this 'couple thing' aren't you? Well, if you're IN LOVE a day usually felt like forever if you're in love." Trish said dreamily. "Kinda like you and Austin." She lightly pointed out.
"Whaaaa-" Ally lied. "I'm not in love with Austin!" she practically sputtered those sentence out.
"What did you feel about not seeing Austin yesterday? And didn't you cried when he didn't 'notice' or prentended not to notice you the other day?"
"That was different!" Ally insisted. "It was because I didn't think he would be like that after what happen the day before. But we made up yesterday," Ally off-handedly smiled. "We even hangout a bit yesterday at Sonic Boom. We wrote this song together," she opened up her songwriting book to the page and showed it to Trish.
Trish muffled a reply.
"And he promised to pick me up from my house and he'll sit next to me at class again today!" Ally grinned subconsciously, which made Trish grinned even wider.
"Ooooohh… somebody's got a crush on Austin…" Trish said flirtily.
"I do not have a crush on Austin!" Ally yelled back almost instantly. "And besides, I'm already with Dallas now." She shrugged. "So yeah."
"Why do you like Dallas anyway?" Trish demanded.
"His hair that flops the right way?... his kind smile and kind eyes… and I always wanted to go to Texas?" Ally asked back, unsure. Trish gave her a look that said, I'm-not-buying-your-act-one-little-bit-and-that's-not-even-an-answer. "Okay, so maybe I dunno why, but the minute I saw him… I don't know. He seemed better than the others. I was a newbie back then!"
Trish sighed in defeat. "Look, Ally, you'll find your true when you see him, Als. I gotta go." Trish gave Ally a pat on the shoulder before walking out of the gate.
"TRISH, ARE YOU MAD AT ME?" Ally screamed guiltily.
"NO SILLY! I'M JUST LATE FOR MY NEW JOB! WAIT – WHERE IS IT AGAIN?"
"Where's Austin?" Ally grumbled after a few minutes waiting for him. She glanced at her watch again and again impatiently. She tapped her feet.
Suddenly her eyes were being covered with 2 big hands smelled of pancakes. She smiled sarcastically, clearly knew who it was. "Hmm… I wonder who it might me… Austin?" she deadpanned.
Austin removed his hands and Ally turned around so she can see him pout his adorable pout. "How do you know it was me anyway?"
"Who else then? And anyway… your hand kinda smells like pancakes, too… it's either you, Dez, or a monkey… wait, I said your name twice." Ally giggled at her joke, but stopped when she noticed Austin wasn't impressed.
Ally rolled her eyes again akwardly before getting up, pretending to forget what had just happened. "Come on, we're late." She said, making her way to his car.
"Hey, Austin!" Cassidy, Kira, and Brooke chorused together as Austin was jus about to open his locker next to Ally. "You're going to skip again today?"
"No," he said loudly so Ally (which he knew was listening or purposely misheard) can hear. He noticed a small smile tugging at her lips, and instantly a few butterflies came to his stomach. "I'm going to sit next to Ally today."
"WHAATTT?" he was pretty sure the scream can be heard from a mile away. "But yesterday- what happened? – you guys were fighting.., and you were on our sides," Cassidy frowned angrily.
"We straigthen things out," Austin smirked at Ally, who hid her blush by pretending to look through her locker. "she even let me see her math test today – she promised."
"NO I DID NOT!" Ally turned furiously.
Austin turned his back towards the girls, amused. "Ha! So you WERE listening!" he pointed with his finger accusingly at Ally. Ally smiled shyly. "And FYI, yes, you did promised."
"No, I didn't!" Ally said again. "And if I really did, which I don't think I did, I take it back!"
"A promise is a promise, Ally," Austin grinned boyishly, and Ally returned it with a smile with so much venom. Out of the corner of his eyes, suddenly he catched Dallas and Cassidy talking near the math class. Austin quickly slung an arm around Ally and led her to the canteen.
"Austin?" she asked strangely. "What are you doing? The math class isn't towards this direction."
"Uuh.. I wanna go to the canteen first," he lied. "I'm starving."
"Fine," Ally grumbled but nodded anyway.
Cassidy and Dallas were gone when they returned from canteen.
"You didn't tell me the answers for the test, so it was technically your fault I had to fail the test," Austin sulked mournfully as he showed her his grade. A bright D was printed on it with red pen. "What did you get? Let me guess…. A?"
"No," Ally scoffed. Austin breathed a sigh in relief but stopped, "I got an A+ silly," Ally giggled, and handed him a tray.
"Yeah, you're not helping," Austin lamely deadpanned and the 2 of them joined Trish and Dez who were eating in one of the tables on the corner.
"And why is it my fault anyway?" Ally complained. Suddenly she freezed when there's a pair of arms around her waist. "Hey, Dallas," she straightly said, not looking. "What do you want now, babe?" she pressed on the word.
"I haven't seen you in forever," Dallas whined.
"It's only been a day," Ally stared at Trish for help. "Aren't you a bit… exaggerating a little?" she watched Austin's eyes narrowed annoyedly at Dallas.
"Nope," Dallas whispered casually. Ally giggled nervously. "Hey, Ally, listen, I had some basketball practice again yesterday, and I probably will too today.. I don't think I can do my homeworks…"
"You want me to do your homework?" Ally said – too smart to fall for his tricks.
"Well, yeah, I promise I'll make it up to you," Dallas promised.
"She won't do your homework!" Austin interuppted. "Now if you'll excuse me, we'd like to eat our lunch." Ally winced a bit at the impolite tone.
"Ally.." Dallas started.
"Sorry Dallas," Ally shrugged and pulled away from his grasp. She flushed with pride when she felt Austin nudged her knee silently. "Between all those homeworks I haven't done, full-time shift at Sonic Boom, and hanging out with my loyal bestfriends," she pointed to Austin, Trish and Dez. "I don't think I can squeeze you in for your homeworks."
Then just like that, his arms were gone.
"Dez, you cannot box a kangaroo!" Ally yelled at Dez hard as soon as the bell rang and the students rushed out of school. They had the same class for last period with Austin too.
"Why not, Ally?" Dez whined.
"That's just wrong!" Trish joined in. "How do you box a kangaroo anyway?" Ally and Trish high-fived. "But if you do, invite me over will ya? I can be the woman holding up the pointboard – I heard boys loved those kinda things."
"Whatever guys! Come on, you comin' with us, Trish?" Austin asked, changing the subject.
"Oooh… where you going?" Trish replied interested.
"We're going to Miami Plaza . I had a shift today starting at 3," Ally explained. "We can hangout at Sonic Boom."
"Sure, I just got fired from my job anyway," Trish replied eagerly and they all walked together in silence to Austin's car.
Ally hopped off the car, and made her way to Sonic Boom from the front door.. She could've gone through the back, but shw wanted to say 'hi' first to Dallas and his friends.
But his friends weren't there, and all she saw was him and a girl making out. Ally stopped, hot on her track. Her eyes widened in surprise and hurt when she saw him. "Dallas?"
The couple in front of her separated. "Cassidy?" Cassidy was the girl. Dallas was making out with his ex-girlfriend.
"What's going on, Ally?" her saviour came up to her and realised shortly what was going on.
"What were you doing, Dallas?" Ally demanded, her eyes watering a bit. She shifted closer to Austin. "You and Cassidy? I thought you guys broke up!"
Dallas didn't answer. "What, cat got your tongue?" Austin screamed angrily. Nobody should hurt Ally like that.
Cassidy was the one who spoke up. "Silly little Ally … you really believed someone as cool as Dallas like a silly awkward little ugly girl who was afraid to even sing at the Kindergarten show? Think. Dallas was just using yo bet. Ha – not so smart aren't you?"
Ally fell into silence.
Cassidy wasn't done with her insult. "Everybody knew your crush to Dallas, Ally. Everybody knew about this. Dallas and his friends had a be on you. He was using you!" Cassidy laughed. "You're not worthy enough for Dallas. Everybody knew it was just a bet – even Austin. Right Austin? And we never did break up – me and Dallas!"
Ally turned around teary at Austin before choking back a sob, and ran.
"Ally," Austin started, but stopped. He saw Dez and Trish in the corner clearly watching the whole scene. He turned towards Dallas and Cassidy.
"Never," Austin said through gritten teeth. "Do that to Ally again. You're the not worthy one. Ally is one amazing girl who didn't deserve somebody like you!" Austin was very mad right now and punched Dallas hard on the face before leaving to find his girl.
He ran inside Sonic Boom, and was greeted by a worried Lester. "Austin! What happened to Ally? She's crying inside the practice room…"
"I'll tell you later, sir," he mumbled and rushed to the practice room upstairs. The door was locked. "Ally?" he knocked softly.
"Go away, Austin."
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Let me in, Ally," he pleaded but she didn't reply. Austin sat down on the floor, his back to the door. He can hear sobbing from inside and his heart ached. There was a guitar on the corner, and he picked it up.
He started to play random notes and his brain were working again.
Sometimes love's a scary place
It's like standing in the dark
Flying through the universe
Trying to fix your broken heart
It's okay to let it go
You don't have to be so brave
Take a chance cuz someone else is going to swoop in and save the day
You don't have to face your fears alone
Cuz whenever you're in trouble I'll know
Let me be your Superhero
There isn't a place I won't go
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there (Be There)
Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all
Let me be your Superhero
Let me be your Superhero
Take off your mask, put down your guard
Don't need a symbol on your chest

He heard her move and a second later, the door was open. He got up to go in – he didn't stop singing.

He sat next to her on the piano bench, and pulled her in one of his warm comforting hug – like the one inside the toilet he, Dez and Ally were in. At first she didn't respond but a few seconds later her hands were around him. She was gripping his torso in a firm grip and tightened. He stroked her hair, and hummed the song again. She stopped crying, but didn't move away from the hug. She cuddled even more closer to him, probably enjoying how warm he was.
"You knew Austin?" Ally asked softly.
"Well-'' he started guiltily but she knew the answer already.
"Why didn't you tell me he was doing that, Austin?" Ally whispered at him. Her tone wasn't mad, but upset and curious.
"Ally, I don't want to see you break your heart," Austin confessed. "I don't want you to lose your smiles and mourn over a jerk like Dallas. I knew you had a crush on him since forever too." He rested his chin on her head. "I'm sorry, Ally. You weren't deserved to be with him. He's the jerk and not you."
She sniffled some more and tightened her hold on him. "Austin?" she asked. "Do you think Cassidy was telling the truth? About me?" she was quiet for a moment. "Am I really just an awkward ugly girl with stage fright?"
"No, of course not!" he shouted almost instantly and kissed her forehead gently. "You're perfect Ally, you're beautiful no matter what. You're perfect just the way you are. You don't need to use to make up to make yourself beautiful. You don't need make-overs. You're perfect." He picked up the guitar again, with one hand and pulled away from Ally.
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday.
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she doesn't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are.
yeah yeah
He put the guitar down again, and went to hug her. "You're too sweet, Austin," she admitted, smiling tearfully at her bestfriend. She kissed his cheek gratefully, and gave him another hug. "I'm going to break up with him." She stated the obvious.
"You're Ally Dawson," Austin said. "The best songwriter in Miami – why don't you break up with him with a song? Prove them wrong. You're not the girl you are before."
"She's so gone," Ally whispered at him.
AN: Tadaaa! Told you I love making twists! This has 2 songs you probably recognized. Now I don't usually like singing to sad mellow songs but Superhero was one of the few songs I like which is mellow. When Ross sang it, it has so many emotions inside it… The second song was Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars.
You guys get an early Chapter 14 if you can guess what song is Ally going to sing in the chapter!
Reviews would totally work great for me too.
