By the afternoon Austin could no longer hold his grudge against Ally. "GARGH! it's impossible to stay mad at her…" He ran to Sonic Boom to make peace with his best friend. "Ally I need to talk to you," Austin said rushing into the store.

"what do you want now, Austin," Ally sighed.

"Ally, I can't stand us being mad at each other!" Austin said, "so I want to apologize for anything that I said earlier that may have hurt you. I wish I never said those things and I didn't mean them. You know you're one of my best friends and I couldn't continue music without you. It shouldn't matter who we're dating as long as we got each other's backs."

Ally gave a small smile. "I'm sorry too," she said quietly. " and I don't like being mad with you either. You're right. The girls and guys we date may come and go but we'll always have each other."

Austin smiled brightly and went to go hug Ally tightly.

"ah ha, ok Austin, you can let go now. can't. breathe." joked ally.

Austin laughed and backed away. "So do you think we could have a jam setion tonight?"

"Aw sorry Austin," apologized Ally, "I want to but I already made plans with Dallas. We haven't gone on a date in while since we've been working so hard on our music."

"No that's fine, totally understandable," Austin said, trying to hide the fact that he was slightly upset by this news, "Alicia probably wants to go out tonight too anyways."

"But I'm free tomorrow night if you wanna work on some songs then," she quickly said.

Austin smiled and nodded, "See you around then," and he left the store.

"See ya" said Ally.

The next day Ally was discussing with Trish her date with Dallas last night during her lunch break as they walked along the beach.

"He seemed kind of distant, Trish," said Ally, "Like we had to put in a lot of effort to keep a conversation going you know? it was really weird. A lot of the time he would just nod and smile"

"Isn't that what he usually does?" Trish asked.

Ally looked at her confused.

"well i guess i never expected you to notice. You were the one doing all the talking. rambling on and on."

"it was probably my nervousness from being around him," confessed Ally, "but i guess i've grown so used to him that I don't get that flustered feeling around him."

They sat in silence for a moment as Ally thought about how she could improve her relationship with Dallas.

"i should do something special for him! I should write HIM a song!" Ally said excitedly.

"Speaking of song writing, "Trish said, "how are you and Austin?"

"Oh we made up by the afternoon yesterday."

"That's great!"

"yeah! we promised each other that we weren't going to criticize who we were dating and that we'll always be there for each other."

"Yay!"

"We're going to do some writing tonight."

Just then they caught sight of Austin making out with a girl who didn't look like Alicia at all. The girls gasped at the sight and quickly turned and walked away.

"I can't believe Austin would do something like that!" Trish said horrified.

"I know!" Ally said, "I don't care how much I didn't like Alicia, she doesn't deserve this. I'm going to give Austin a piece of my mind! I'm not going to write songs for someone who's going to cheat on girls and act like a jerk!"

"You tell 'im girl!" Trish cheered
