WELL, IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH (almost, in like… 6 days.) so, last time, we left Austin going downstairs to help his family make brunch. But, he has a scheme coming up. And, yes. I know. I made a mistake in the last chapter. But, I fixed it. It now says Dev, and not Dallas. And, JSYK, yes. Something MAJOR happens in this chapter. But, from this point, I don't think it's gonna go as smoothly… so… here goes. OMG, a love story. PS, I do not own any of the songs I use. If I do, I'll let you know. ^-^

*AUSTIN'S POV*

So, as I head downstairs, I hear my mom and Ally talking… but, I know my mom would scold me if she heard me… but, they were talking about me. So… that gives me a right… right? Oh well. So, mom asked about what happened last night with me and Ally… but, I can't hear All's response… we did something last night? What could it have been? Hm… well, fer sure I know it's not her being young forever… well, maybe… wait, what if I asked her out last night? I know I'm not supposed to do anything exciting before going to sleep… or else I will forget what I did… crap! I forgot what I did! So, something exciting must have happened last night! What was it… hey what's tha-

"whoops, sorry little dude." Of course. It has to be Aaron to knock me out of my hiding place… well, I guess this sucks now. Wait, I'm in the open.

"Morning mom… Morning Als. What's for brunch?" well, as long as they don't-

"hey, we know you were eavesdropping. Don't need to fake it. And, your mom told me about your "over excited" problem. And, don't worry. I'll tell you all that happened later on today. But first, let's eat. Here is a hearty breakfast of 3 eggs, pancakes, 4 sausages, and a side of veggies, with some cheese on top. Hope you enjoy. Whoops! I forgot the syrup." She turns around. "here it i- HOLY CRAP WHERE IS ALL YOUR FOOD?! DID YOU EAT IT ALL?! All of you?" well, in her defense, she cooks better than mom… Al's sausages weren't rubbery… they were quite good!

"hey, mom, can I go out with Ally for while? I wanna go someplace. Al's, go home. Get ready. I'm gonna take you out today."

"but, your mom didn't even say yes yet…"

"oh, sweety. Of course you can! I already told you that if you ever wanted time alone with my son, you just let me know, and take him with you." I swear, my mom is sweet, but sometimes too sweet… like, lemonade.

"thanks mom. Well, Al's, I'll see you later. Bye." And she left, and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I turn to my mom.

"MOM. WHAT DID SHE SAY HAPPENED LAST NIGHT."

"sweety, I'm not stupid. I know how to follow orders. Remember? I used to be a drill sergeant? So… yea. I follow orders, and I give them. I'm not to tell you. No one is. Even your dad. Oh, and tell Aaron to show me that picture of you holding Ally."

"wait, what?!"

"oop! I've said to much already! Sorry dear, but you're going to have to find out on your own. Well, after Ally tells you. Enjoy your picnic. How's peanut butter and banana sandwiches sound?"

"good ma… thanks anyways… well, I'm gonna go. Wish me luck?"

"still not telling you sweety."

"fine… oh, hey mom, what do you think if I write a song for Ally? You know… one that had to do with her saving that boy in that burning building the other year? I think I have a song."

"sounds nice sweety."

"okay. Bye mom."

"bye. Have fun, be safe, watch out for strangers, and protect your girl."

"huh?"

"whoops! Nothing."

*AT THE PARK*

"hey Ally, I have a song for you. I think you might like it. I call it, "Safe and Sound."

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.

"how did you like it? I remember how you almost died in that burning building last year, and how you saved a boy, and his mother. And, I thought, maybe I should write a song for you. So, there it was. Safe and Sound. And, yes. I figured it out. I asked you out last night, didn't I. and, I love you all the more now that I remember what I did last night. So, how did you like it?"
