"Allyson Dawson and Austin Moon! There you two are!" Mr. Dawson said barging into the practice room the next morning.

Austin and Ally jumped at the sudden entrance.

"Do you have any idea how worried Austin's parents and I have been when we discovered you two didn't come home last night? We almost called the police!"

"I'm sorry, Dad," Ally said, "Austin and I were working on a new song late last night and I guess we kind of just fell asleep."

"a new song? I thought you gave up on the whole writing songs for Austin thing? I mean ever since you've been seeing that Dallas boy, I haven't heard Austin preform in ages."

Austin gave Ally an I-told-you-so look.

Ally, outraged, said, "I have NOT given up on music! I told you dad, music is my life!"

"Looked like Dallas was you're life, when he came into the picture…"

"Austin and I will be writing a lot more music now to make up for lost time then!" with that, Ally stormed out of the room.

"Glad to see you're ok, hun," mr. dawson called after his daughter. He turned to Austin. "well at least she'll be seeing less of that boy now" Mr Dawson smiled to himself and bounced out of the room.

"I couldn't agree with you more," Austin said to himself once Mr. Dawson left. "CRAP! my parents are going to kill me when I get home!" Austin dashed out of the practice room to explain what happened to his parents as soon as possible.

"Guess who just got a job at the teacup boutique!" Trish announced as she entered Sonic Boom.

"yeah, yeah, that's great Trish," Ally said as she fiercely wrote in her book.

"hey did you and austin not finish a song last night?" Trish asked.

"oh, no, we did, we stayed up really late last night and ended up falling asleep in the practice room actually ," Ally said casually as she madly wrote in her book.

"Then what with the crazy writing in your book?"

Ally sighed, prying her eyes from her book and explained everything to Trish what happened. From the song difficulties to waking up to her angry father.

Trish listened with wide eyes. "You show 'em, Ally. Show em that you and austin can be those ones in a billion that can be successful in the music industry!"

"Thanks, Trish," Ally smiled but then it dropped, "though I have to admit it, this does mean I'll probably means i'm going to be seeing a lot less of a Dallas."

"Meh, I couldn't see you two working out anyways," Trish truthfully responded.

"TRISH! not you too!"

"I'm sorry, but it's true. Austin's right, You're too good for him Ally."

Ally crossed her arms in disbelief what she was hearing. Her two best friends didn't think she could make things work between her and Dallas. Clearly he was the guy for her.

"Hey, Ally don't worry about it. Maybe Dallas could get better? As long he makes you happy, i'm happy. Because if he ever hurts you. oh man…" Trish made a fist and rubbed it in her other hand.

"Hey ally! Hey Trish!," Austin greeted walking into the store, "guess what i got off scotch free after last night."

"that's great austin," ally replied.

"yeah, once my parents heard i was with you, responsible and respectful, Ally Dawson, they were totally fine with it. they said as long as i wasn't hanging out with hooligans causing shenanigans and was with you it was all good. whatever hooligans and shenanigans are…"

"Yeah my parents let me do whatever too as long as i'm with ally," said Trish grinning.

"hey! what's that supposed to mean?" ally said defensively.

"oh relax Als, you're just being a good friend, that's all" Austin said calming her down and flashed her a smile.

"you guys are terrible, " ally simply said and left it at that, "hey austin, you want to write another song tonight? i have most of the lyrics already but you can help me with the tune! it shouldn't take that long so we won't have to get busted for falling asleep in the practice room again."

"another song? really?" austin said excitedly, "yeah for sure! as long as it's not a love song, though"

Ally sighed, and shook her head with a small smile.
