" Wasn't Austin's beach concert so awesome yesterday Trish?" asked Ally as she polished a tuba in Sonic Boom.

"It was so awesome," replied Trish hanging out behind the counter, "I can't believe you and austin had three more new songs to preform!"

"and i can't believe some of the awesome shots i got of the concert!" said Dez looking at the replays on his camera, "these are going to look so good in the music videos I have planned for Austin"

"We've been working so hard on our new music. It's so great to see it pay off," said Ally.

"Hey guys!" Austin greeted as he strolled into Sonic Boom with a girl linked through his arm, "I want you to meet someone" Austin gestured to the smiley, pretty girl holding onto him, "this is Alicia. Alicia this is - "

"OMG don't tell me- this is Trish the manager. Dez, the filmmaker. and Ally the songwriter. it's sooo great to meet all of you!" Alicia squealed as she shook each of their hands. "Austin has told me soooo much about you!"

"really? because this is the first time we've heard of you," Dez said.

"DEZ!" said Austin.

"It's ok aust-y," said alicia linking her arm back through his, "i mean we only met yesterday and have only spent every minute together since then"

Austin laughed nervously.

"Austin has especially told me about YOU Ally," Alicia chirped, "how you guys work together to write songs! Gosh that's just so…Special! I'm so jealous. I wish I was musically talented like you guys. I took 3 years of piano lessons and I still didn't know which note was which. Unlike Austin here, give him any instrument and he'll play it like he's been playing it his whole life!"

Austin just smiled silently. A brief silence took place.

But Ally broke it and asked, "So how exactly did you guys meet?"

Austin was about to explain when Alicia beat him to it. "We met after his beach concert yesterday. My friends pushed me to go get his autograph so i went backstage and we started talking. We hung out at the beach for the rest of the day. And then austin asked me out to dinner. we've been texting each other since then." Alicia smiled like she was the happiest girl in the world. Then she glanced at her watch, "oh aust-y i have to go to work at the MP3 accessories kiosk. but meet me at lunch 'kay?"

" 'kay" he replied. Alicia swung her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"so nice to meet you guys!" she said when she finished kissing austin. "see you later aust-y" she skipped off to work and turned to give Austin one last flirty wave goodbye.

Austin waved back then turned to his friends, "isn't she great?" he asked.

"oh yeah great," Trish and Dez both said awkwardly.

"Oh yeah Austin, " said Ally, "she sure is…special…"

"you don't like her Ally?" asked Austin.

"I didn't say that!" Ally quickly replied.

"but you were thinking it?" he asked suspiciously.

"no of course not!" Ally said, she started to bite her hair.

"HA! you're biting your hair! you do NOT like her," Austin accused.

"Okay!" Ally confessed spitting out her hair, "i don't like her. so what?"

"So can't you be happy for me at least?" he asked.

"Honestly Austin," Ally said looking him in the eyes, "no. Are you sure you want to be dating a fan? isn't it weird to be dating someone who obsesses over you?"

"but Alicia's more than a fan," austin tried to explain, "she's a really cool girl."

"but she's so…chatty….it's kind of annoying don't you think?"

Trish and Dez sat silently on the counter listening and watching the conversation as it grew more tense.

"you can be chatty too!" pointed out Austin.

"yeah but it's not annoying like that! …is it?"

Austin wanted to say no but instead what came out was, "actually yeah!"

Ally gasped then hurt began to fill her eyes.

Austin slapped himself on his forehead realizing what he just did, "no ally wait, i didn't mean that," he reached for her hand.

but she pulled away and just looked at the ground, no longer able to look at his face. "i'm sorry i've been so annoying all this time to you Austin. I'll just shut up now."

"Ally I said I didn't mean it, " Austin tried to get her forgiveness, " but maybe you shouldn't bash on who i'm dating."

"well maybe you shouldn't bash on who I'M dating!" said Ally angrily.

"ally that was months ago, when you and Dallas first started dating!" Austin defended, "i haven't said anything about him since then. let it go!"

"well then i won't say anything about Alicia again. and you should LET IT GO!" ally threw back.

"FINE!" shouted Austin.

"FINE" shouted Ally.

Ally stormed up to the practice room and Austin stormed out of Sonic Boom. Dez and Trish looked at each other nervously.
