A/N: Update time! Thanks for the reviews on the previous chapter, you guys rock! :D

Disclaimer: Don't own A&A, or the concept of the video for "Are You Happy Now?" by Megan & Liz. Or Ian Somerhalder. God, I wish I owned him. I love him :) Anyone watch The Vampire Diaries? :) He's gorgeous!

Enjoy, sorry for mistakes!


Ally POV

"Als," I faintly heard from somewhere above.

"Mmm, Ian Somerhalder?" I giggled dreamily. "You're supposed to be in my favourite TV show playing a smoking hot vampire, not in my bedroom."

"Ally."

"You should go back in the TV, although I don't entirely appose to you being here."

"That makes me feel awesome." I groaned and opened my eyes to find Austin standing over me.

"Well, you're not Ian Somerhalder," I commented.

"Sorry to disappoint you," Austin said sarcastically.

I blushed. "I didn't mean it like that."

Austin smirked. "What kind of dreams were you having?"

"Private dreams!" I replied.

"Am I smoking hot like your fantasy, vampire guy on the TV?"

"You're hotter than hell. And a sex god. Satisfied?"

"Very, yes."

"Good. Just being honest." I lied back down and buried myself under the blankets, closing my eyes. "Now let me go back to bed."

"Sorry, babe, no can do." I felt his hand on my shoulder and he lightly shook me. "It's the day you shoot your music video. You need to get up now."

"Ugh," I mumbled. I completely forgot about that. I reluctantly sat up, rubbing my eyes. "What time is it?"

"Six."

"Six?" I sighed tiredly. "It's too early for a Saturday."

"I know, but I made you breakfast already. It's waiting for you downstairs."

I brightened. "Pickles included?"

Austin chuckled. "Yes, pickles included." He started to walk towards the door.

"What, no good morning kiss?" I asked.

"Not until you brush your teeth!" He called over his shoulder as he walked out the door.

I sighed and lied back down.

"Allyson Dawson, get up!"

"Okay, I'm up!" I exclaimed. I grabbed my glasses and slid them on before throwing my hair in a bun and sliding out of bed.

"Maci's still asleep," Austin told me when I got to the kitchen.

"No kidding, it's six in the morning. We'll just get her when we have to go. Damn it, I wish we didn't have to take her with us." Unfortunately, we were out of luck for sitters for the day. My parents were out of town for the weekend, Austin's parents were busy at their store for a big weekend sale they were having, Quinn's family was gone on holidays, and Trish and Dez would be coming with us to the shoot.

"Trish, Dez, and I will watch her, don't worry about it," Austin assured me. Pancakes came and greeted me, and we sat down at the table.

"Oh, thanks for this," I sighed happily. "I love not cooking."

"No problem, but we've got," Austin checked his watch. "Less than two hours to get to the shoot."

"Ugh, how do you do this so much?" I groaned as I shovelled bacon and eggs into my mouth. "I don't even have time to savour this bacon!"

He shrugged. "I'm used to it. And I'll cook you bacon again tomorrow."

"Deal." When I finished breakfast, I cleared my spot and put the dishes in the dishwasher. "I'm going to shower and change."

"Oh, don't change into anything major. They'll do your hair, makeup, and wardrobe when we get there," Austin said.

"Right. Jeez, this is weird. For once it's me filming something and you're like my agent," I smiled. "It's always the other way around."

Austin chuckled. "Just go get ready please."

"Okay, okay, I'm going." I hurried upstairs and to the bathroom where I took a quick shower and changed into black yoga shorts and a blue t-shirt. I plaited my hair down my back before checking on Maci. She was still asleep, so I slipped on flip flops and hurried downstairs.

"I'll go change and bring Maci down with me, then we've really gotta go. The shoot is on the other side of Miami and we're going to hit the early morning traffic," Austin told me. He gave me a big, long kiss.

"Wow," I breathed when we broke apart. "I'm no longer thinking about a certain vampire."

"Good, those were my intentions," Austin grinned before rushing past me towards the stairs. "By the way, you look nice!"

I grabbed the carton of orange juice and poured myself a glass before downing it. I scrunched up my face. "Nu uh, should not have done that. Jeez, that's disgusting with toothpaste!"

I heated a bottle for Maci, and Austin came down half an hour later dressed in black jeans and a purple t-shirt with a black leather jacket, topped with blue hightops. He had Maci in his arms, who was dressed in a simple jeans-and-pink-t-shirt outfit.

"She is not happy," Austin warned me. He was right. She was twisting in his arms and whimpering.

"Here, I'll give her a bottle on the way." He handed her to me and we grabbed her bag and our things before hurrying out the door. "Are Trish and Dez meeting us there?"

Austin nodded as I strapped Maci in her car seat in the back seat of the SUV. "It's easier for them."

"Yeah, that's fine." I finished strapping Maci in. "I'm sorry, sweetie, I know you're tired." I gave her the bottle and she somewhat calmed down.

I got in the front with Austin and we peeled it out of the driveway. "Take Keaston, there isn't lots of traffic on that road around this time," I told him.

I glanced behind me at Maci while Austin switched lanes. She stared at me before looking away and continuing to suck on her bottle.

"She's pissed," I announced when I faced the front again.

"Well, I would be too if my parents woke me up this early," Austin said.

"Have fun watching her all day."

"Trish and Dez get to deal with her, too, so it makes me feel a little bit better about the situation I'm about to be forcedly shoved into."

I rolled my eyes and turned the radio on quietly. It usually calmed Maci down and put her back to sleep; it would make looking after her easier for the three "sitters" while I was filming.

"I'll try the radio." When I leaned back into my seat, I felt a thud behind me. "Ow!" I turned around. "Did you just kick my seat, Maci?"

She gave me the creepiest little laugh before going back to sucking on her bottle.

"She just kicked my seat," I exclaimed.

"She's mad!" Austin said.

"Yeah, but she's never kicked my seat before. That was a hard kick, too."

He shrugged. "She's getting older, I guess."

We rode in silence for a bit with just the radio on before Maci fell back asleep. "Yes," I sighed. Austin gave me a lopsided grin.

"You nervous?" he asked me.

I shrugged. "A little."

He reached across and squeezed my knee. "You'll be great."

I laughed lightly. "I hope so."

"I know so," Austin smiled.

When we arrived at the studio, we parked behind the building and piled out. I gently unstrapped Maci and switched her into her carrier. Thankfully, she stayed asleep.

Austin took the carrier while I took everything else out. Trish and Dez pulled up beside us.

"Hey," they greeted as they got out.

"Hey. Trish, can you grab my bag for me?" I shut the back of the vehicle and we all walked towards the stage door.

"Excited?" Trish smiled.

"I'm pretty excited," I replied.

"It feels weird not filming. Maybe I'll help them," Dez said.

"No way, dude. You're helping babysit Little Miss Cranky," Austin said. "She wasn't too happy when I woke her up this morning. She threw her monkey at me!"

"You never told me that," I said.

"If she heard me say it when she was awake, she would've done it again. I'm telling you, Maci is smarter than a monkey. Ha, that's ironic."

I shook my head as we entered the building. The head of the Make It Right foundation, Elle Meadows, came over to us. "Hello kids!"

We all greeted her and she smiled at me. "Ready, my dear?"

I nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be."

"Good," she laughed. "Now come with me, we've got to get you ready."

I turned to the other three. "I'll see you guys in a bit." I leaned up and kissed Austin. "Don't lose her," I warned. "Any of you," I added, looking at Trish and Dez. "Or I will personally chop off your heads."

"We won't," they said.

"Good luck, Als," Austin smiled.

"Thanks," I smiled back. I waved and hurried after Elle down a hallway. She stopped at a door labelled 'Hair and Makeup' and opened it.

"The stylists are ready for you," she told me. "Thanks again for doing this, Ally. We're very grateful you're taking the time, especially with your already busy life."

"It's no problem, I'm happy to do it," I assured her before slipping into the room.

There were two ladies who ushered me to the chair. "I'm Kendra," the blonde said. "And this is Wendy." The raven haired lady smiled.

"I'm Ally. Do your worst," I joked.

They laughed. "We plan too. Let's get started, shall we?"


Ally POV

"You look fabulous, darling!" Kendra exclaimed as she and Wendy stepped back to admire their handiwork. They pulled me to a floor length mirror.

I was wearing midnight blue strapless dress that went to my knees and black ankle boots. My hair was curled around my shoulders and pinned back on one side, and my makeup was dark and smokey.

"Wow," I said in awe. "It doesn't even look like me."

"You look beautiful, honey," Wendy said. "But we better get you to the set."

They ushered me out the door and down the hall to where the set was. The set looked like a school hallway, and crew was rushing around everywhere, the extras already in place.

Austin, Trish, and Dez were sitting off to the side by the food table, pigging out on the food. Well, Austin and Dez were; Trish was watching Maci. Thank god for somebody.

A lady hurried up to me and held out her hand. "I'm Callie, the director."

I shook her hand. "Ally."

She smiled. She looked nice enough. "Now, you're going to be playing two different people; one is your stereotypical snobby popular girl, and the other is, for lack of a better word, a loser. The popular girl is going to be bullying the other girl. Got it?"

I nodded slowly. "I think so." I looked down at my outfit. "I'm guessing I'm in popular mode right now."

"Right. Come on, let's get you in place." She took me onto the set by the lockers and a group of people who I assumed would be my popular group of friends, from the way they were dressed. "We'll use one of the extras for you to bully while we film, and when you're the uncool girl, we'll use an extra to bully you. When we edit everything, we'll replace the extra's places with your characters respectively," Callie explained. "For this scene, you're hanging around with your friends, having a good time when your victim walks in your direction down the hall. When she comes close, act snobby and stick your leg out to trip her."

I took a deep breath. "Okay." A stage hand handed me a purse.

"You'll be great, honey, it's lots of fun. You'll see!" Callie hurried back behind the camera.

My friends waved at me and gave me a thumbs up. "And, action!"

She stood out in the crowd, was a little too loud
But that's why we love her
She's not like other girls
She could have conquered the world
Until you broke her down

Are you happy now
That she's on the ground?
And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
Are you happy now
That you've brought her down?
And she's thinking that she won't fit in
'Cause you said something's wrong with her
Are you happy now?

As we shot my scenes as the popular girl, I started to loosen up, and I was really having fun. In between takes and when they'd refix my hair and makeup, I'd joke around with the extras. I hadn't realized it had been five hours since we'd got to the studio.

When it was time for me to change into my "loser" clothes, I quickly hurried over to the gang.

"How's she doing?" I asked Austin as I took Maci from him.

"She's been good. She just got up about ten minutes ago and I fed her a bottle," he said. "You're doing awesome, Ally. You look beautiful." Trish and Dez nodded.

I smiled. "Thanks."

"Ally!" Kendra called.

"I'm coming!" I kissed Maci's head and handed her back to her dad. "Time for an outfit change. See you guys later."

Back in the makeup and wardrobe room, I was completely redone. When Kendra and Wendy were done, I really did look like a loser.

I had on black tights with a long baggy old band t-shirt, and an unbuttoned jean shirt over top. The outfit was paired with scruffy black boots, and my hair was thrown into a long messy side braid. I know I had makeup on, but it looked like I didn't.

"Again...wow," I commented.

"We try. Come on!"

When I was on set again, I was handed some books and an over-the-shoulder bag. Time to act like a loser.


Ally POV

"Alright, Ally, this scene has you hiding away in the bathroom crying after your popular self stood up on a table in a cafeteria and embarrassed you in front of the whole school. Just get mad, cry. You're frustrated and sick of dealing with her," Callie told me a few hours later.

"Oh dear," I said from my spot outside the fake bathroom door, ready to burst through in tears. "Crying?"

"Think of something really sad. I know it sucks, but I know you can do it. I'll give you a second."

I nodded and with all my willpower, tried to cry. That's something you don't try to do everyday. I thought of dead puppies, but that did nothing. I thought of starving kids in Africa, but that did nothing either.

I hated what I was about to do, but it was for the video.

I thought of every possible bad thing that could ever happen to Austin and Maci. Yep, that did it. The waterworks started to flow, and I shook my head.

"I'm ready," I said thickly.

"Wow," Callie stuttered. "You're really crying. But good, that's what we need! Alright, lights...camera...and- wait!"

I looked at her confused, but saw what Callie was looking at.

Maci had tottled onto the middle of the set, and was walking towards me.

"No, no, Maci, go back to daddy," I wiped my eyes. "Mommy's okay, I'm not actually upset." I looked up at Callie. "I am so sorry! Just a second." I scooped Maci up and hurried off the set and towards the food table, where Trish had her back turned.

"Trish!" I hissed, and she whipped around. "Where the hell are the guys?"

"Bathroom." As if on queue, Austin and Dez walked back.

"Pay better attention to Maci, she just walked onto the set!"

"I told Trish to watch her!" Austin exclaimed.

"I just turned my back for a second!" Trish defended.

"You have to pay attention to her. She thought I was really upset," I told them, pointing to my tear streaked face.

"Awe, Ally, what's wrong?" Dez asked.

"Nothing! It's for the video!" I backed up and pointed at them. "Watch. Her."

"I'm really sorry about that," I apologized when I got back. Kendra and Wendy cleaned my face and redid the makeup.

"Don't worry about it," Callie sighed. "As long as you can make those tears again."

"Trust me, I can," I muttered.

I got back into position, tears and all, and Callie yelled "Action!"

Fully aware that Austin, Trish, and Dez were watching, I burst through the bathroom door while the music played and threw my bag at the wall before storming over to the sink in tears. I thought staring at myself in the mirror and looking so disgusted with myself would work well, so I did that.

We shot the scene without any more interruptions, as well as the other scenes, and before I knew it, Callie yelled, "Cut! That's a wrap people!"

Everyone cheered and I walked off to talk to Elle about some things. After that, I went with Kendra and Wendy to get me back into my regular clothes.

"You've really got a knack for acting, Ally," they told me.

"Oh, thanks," I smiled.

I found Austin, Trish, Dez, and Maci in the hallway when I came out.

They tackled me in a hug. "You did great, Ally!"

"Thank you," I laughed as I hugged them back. Austin bent to kiss me quickly. "What time is it?"

"Seven," Trish replied. "I say we head out for supper."

"Sounds good to me, I'm starving," Austin said.

We all agreed and went out to our separate vehicles. I strapped Maci in and got in beside Austin.

"So how was it?" he asked as we pulled out.

"Awesome," I admitted.

He grinned. "You looked like you were having fun. You were great, Als. I'm really proud of you."

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Oh yeah, what on earth were you thinking about that made you cry that hard? Those tears were just flowing! I mean, that's good for the video, but I've never seen you cry like that."

"Um, I thought of what would happen if I ever lost you and Maci," I told him quietly.

He reached over and grabbed my hand. "Nothing's going to happen to us, alright? I love you."

"I love you, too."
