Austin walked into the practice room that evening and happily greeted Ally, "Hey Ally! I brought pickles!" he said, holding a large jar of pickles.
"Don't you pickles me Austin Moon!" Ally glared.
Austin's smile dropped, "Uh did I imagine us making up yesterday afternoon or something? why are you still mad?"
"Austin Moon you are a low-life, cheating piece of scum!" Ally shouted as she jabbed him the chest with her finger.
"Ow Ally! what did I do? I said I was sorry yesterday!" Austin tried to defend himself.
"I'm talking about what you apologized for yesterday, dirtbag!" Ally fumed, " I'm talking about what you did to Alicia!"
"You mean break up with her?" asked Austin.
"Yes! Break-" Ally stopped, "wait. what? you broke up with her?"
"Yeah," Austin said, "last night. You were right. there totally wasn't any chemistry going on between us."
"oh," said Ally calming down, but slightly confused.
"is that why you're mad at me? did you actually like alicia?" Austin asked.
"No," Ally said, "I don't like Alicia but I thought you were cheating on her. And even though she's not my favourite person, i still thought it was terrible that you would do something like that."
"what? why would you think i was cheating on her?"
"because Trish and I saw you today making out with some girl on the beach. And both of us were positive that she wasn't Alicia."
Austin's face redden and nervously laughed, " oh, yeah, Alex."
"alex?"
"yeah. I met her this morning. I was playing the guitar on the beach just for fun and she came up and said hello. we started talking for a bit and well one thing led to the next…"
it was Ally's turn to turn red, "oh well, I'm sorry then I accused you of being a low-life, cheating piece of scum. …and a dirtbag…"
Austin laughed. "Don't worry about it Ally. I'd be mad too if I knew someone who was playing with girls' hearts. No one deserves to be treated like that."
Ally shook her head in agreement. Then awkwardly asked, "So Alex, huh? You guys…just kinda…rushed into that relationship…?"
"Yeah, I guess," Austin said shrugging the question off as he seated himself on the piano bench hitting a few notes.
"Must have been love at first sight?"
Austin shrugged.
Ally was confused again. "why don't we write a love song for her? I bet she's like that?"
"i told you Ally, no love songs! besides i don't think I'm gonna be with Alex much longer. She's kinda boring. All she likes to do is make out."
"Ok…" Ally found it slightly odd that Austin was just jumping from one girl to the next so casually.
"Hey I want to write a song about friends looking out for each other! like what you and i have going on!"
"Okay!" Ally said smiling at this sweet suggestion and forgetting about Austin's weird behaviour.
By the end of the night they had another hit song.
