Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize! Only the plot and storyline. I wish I owned Austin and Ally so it wouldn't end!
"Come on, pretty please?"
"No!" Austin strolled from the kitchen to the living room. It's been three days since Ally moved in the house, and the effects were settling in. The roommates currently discussed a very important matter.
"All I'm saying is, you could use a different type of soap! Why can't I buy vanilla scented hand wash?"
"But I don't want to smell girly. I want to smell like a man," he whined.
Ally rolled her eyes and scoffed, "That's sexist. A man and a woman don't have a smell that defines them. They're either clean, or dirty." She seemed annoyed but deep inside, she enjoyed discussing things with Austin. They're bickering made her happy.
In return, the blond officer offered Ally chances to bicker. "Fine, you're right! Now, can we go watch that movie that's about to start? The Pink Panther is one of my favorite movies!" Austin leaped over the couch and sat down. He snatched the remote control from the coffee table and anxiously found the movie channel.
Ally, on the other hand, leisurely walked to the couch in her sweatpants and t-shirt. She had popcorn and two drinks. "Oh! I love this movie!" She pointed to the TV like an enthusiastic little girl.
Austin was admiring her from inches away.
"By the way, Austin, I wanted to ask you something..." There was an uncertainty in the air that scared Ally. Her hand flew to her hair and she began to chew the strands. Hesitantly she asked, "Would it be okay if I invited my friend Trish over?"
"Why does that name seem familiar?" Austin questioned throwing some popcorn in his mouth.
"Well she kinda was my-" Ally muttered.
"She was your what, Als? Girlfriend?" Austin asked, curious.
Ally's eyes widened. "With all due respect, I don't bat for that side of the fence. Secondly, she was my cell guard."
Moon scratched the back of his neck and pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, Als, but I don't think it's a good idea. Her job can be taken away if people think she's friends with the traitor's daughter." His last words slipped out one by one, he noticed what he said could be taken as offensive.
Dawson's face blanked in hurt and shock. Tears built up in her eyes and as a result, Ally locked herself in her bedroom.
Austin also ran after her, but the door was already shut. "Come on, Als! I didn't mean to offend you! It's just that our jobs are at risk!" To his surprise and relief, the door opened up a bit.
The petite young woman's face appeared slightly at the opening. "Your job is at risk, too?" Her voice was drowned with sadness. Ally shut the door again.
"I didn't mean to tell you, but one of the police officers at the station yelled at me. Trent said taking you in was a bad idea." Austin winced as he said this, "I kinda yelled at him back telling him none of my issues were his business."
Silence. Ally didn't answer. Instead, there was a sound of guitar strums coming from inside.
Moon was tired of being away from his roommate and decided to get into the room the only other way he knew...
Through the window.
"Fine, Als. I guess I'll let you have your space." He immediately raced outside (with his keys) and stood outside Ally's window. Austin grabbed a few pebbles from the ground and began to throw them, one by one.
Ally's face got closer to the window. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion until she saw the tall blond imitate a medieval fairy tale story. Her sad eyes became amused.
"Allyson, Allyson, let down your hair." Austin spoke teasingly, and laughed as he said the ridiculous phrase.
Dawson giggled and half-smiled at Austin. She couldn't believe the extremes this man made to keep her content. Her fragile hands lifted the window. "Alright. You have to get through the window."
Austin climbed through with his ripped jean, vans and white t-shirt in tact. He stood proudly in the room. "I am here to save you from Mother Gothel!"
Ally giggled until she recalled why she was upset in the first place. "Austin, I can't have any friends now. No one wants to be seen with a convict's daughter. I'm gonna die alone."
"Ally! I know I'm an officer who interrogated you, but I'm human first. I'm here for you, and after a few days, I know you're an incredible person who doesn't deserve isolation. If having Trish come makes you feel better, we'll totally invite her."
"You sure? I don't want anyone to lose their jobs because of me."
Austin sat on Ally's bed and patted the space next to him.
Ally sat down and observed him closely. She couldn't quite comprehend how Austin could be so nice to her. "You've done too much for me."
Moon pointed at the frame of his family on the wall. "You see my old man right there?" Ally nodded. "He was a police officer. My grandfather was also a police officer. Ever since I was little, my dream was to be an officer that saved everyone from danger. Superheroes were very similar to policemen in my eyes." Austin looked back at Ally. "However, my dad told me that being an officer is just a title. Being a human being is your job. Take care of everyone as if they were your family. Bringing you in might have been a risk, but it was worth it to have you safe."
Ally's cheeks were a rosy pink. Austin's words touched her profoundly."Well, in my eyes your a hero. Thank you so much." She kissed Austin's cheek and left him flabbergasted.
He tried to hide how that movement affected him, "Y-yeah no problem because I'm here to help uh, you of course!" He took a deep breath and said, "Let me give Trish a call."
-.-.-.-.-.
"Hey, Ally! How are you locked up in this joint?" Trish smirked and playfully hit Austin in the arm.
"I couldn't be anywhere better." Ally threw a smile at Austin. "Anyways, you want to go bowling?
Trish laughed. "Als, if there's one thing you need to know about me, I'm a mall girl!" She pointed at her designer shoes and purse. "We're having some mall time. Plus, you could use some new outfits."
Ally laughed and rolled her eyes. "Fine. Austin do you wanna come?"
Austin and Trish looked at the petite woman with wide eyes. They looked like they just saw a woman give birth.
"Uh, Ally, when girls go shopping, guys usually don't come along."
Ally flushed in embarrassment. "I'm not used to shopping! So uh, let's go!" She grabbed a spare key to her new home and her wallet. "Bye Austin!"
The blond and the short latina woman gave each other an amused look. "Thanks for saving me, Trish." He fist-bumped her. Trish nodded. "The girl needs to live a little."
Austin looked through the window and saw Ally waiting outside, looking at the gardens and houses of the neighbors. He turned back to Trish with a worried expression, "Please have an eye on her. She's a good person but be aware if she suddenly shows a sign of working with her father."
Trish frowned. "You don't trust her? I know I don't have seniority like you, but she seems like an honest person."
-.-.-.-.-.
"And I say hey, hey, hey, hey! Living life with renegades."
"So Ally, how's it like to live with an important police officer?" Trish again with a playful grin. She was driving a light blue kia, leading them both to the nearest shopping center.
"I mean, at first it did feel really weird since he's the cop who interrogated me and all, but he's super nice to me. And who can complain having a handsome officer as a roommate?"
Ally didn't realize what she said until she said it. "I mean, he's super nice!"
"You have a crush on Austin Moon!" Trish squealed in excitement. "Have you seen him shirtless? I'm pretty sure he has abs of steel and arms of Hercules."
"I don't have a," Ally sighed. "Fine! I have a crush on my interrogating officer. Sue me." The brunette twisted her bracelets and played with them. "It doesn't matter. He probably won't trust a convict's daughter." Her mind played back all the nice moments they had so far. "He probably sees me like a little sister."
Trish cackled. "I don't think brothers check their sisters out! But um, you should see if he trusts you. Relationships always need trust." The latina remembered what he told her before they drove.
Once the two arrived to the grand mall, Trish pushed Ally to her favorite stores and outlets. Her goal was to make Ally a valley girl, and dress her up in the most revealing outfits to grab Austin's attention. They were currently in Forever 21, when Ally tried on a sheer and short dress.
"Um, I think I could see everything that's supposed to be covered."
"That's the point! Give the man what he wants!" Trish sounded powerful, but her statement was degrading itself.
"Trish, we should feel comfortable too! And whatever we feel sexy in makes us sexy. Not the tightest and most see-through dress. I'm taking this off and picking my own outfit." Ally strutted back into the dressing room with new clothes in hand. Her statement left Trish wondering if she should rethink her choices in life.
About four minutes later, Ally came out with burgundy skinny jeans, black pumps and a black leather jacket with a top underneath. "I feel amazing!"
"You look amazing! Now come Emma Watson, let's go to another store." Trish smirked.
Ally crossed her arms and smugly said, "If it's about what I said earlier, then it is a compliment." She laughed and sat next to Trish. "But in all honesty, you deserve to wear what you want Trish. You make your own choices in life." Both of them knew what Ally said had a double meaning.
Ally didn't miss the attitude Officer Trent gave her the day she was arrested. Trish looked terrified but she stood taking every spit and word the man threw. Ally knew Trish didn't deserve that kind of treatment.
"Sometimes, you have to know that people are in charge of what you do. And sometimes, you can't always be independent without getting scolded." Trish couldn't look at Ally in the eyes without wanting to tear up. There was a story behind this feisty girl.
"Touché. Now, you need to keep teaching me how to be a valley girl! Let's go!" Ally ran to change back into her comfortable summer dress.
-.-.-.-.-.
Austin sat comfortably on his couch in nothing but gym shorts. He enjoyed drinking some coffee while watching TV, something he didn't do in a while. Lately, his police squad didn't need him to work. They allowed him to have a small vacation until he was needed.
"Tonight, we are presenting When In Rome! Stay tuned."
The blond hadn't felt so relaxed since he was in high school. Back then, all he had to worry about was grades, girls, and hockey. After years passed, his life had become simply work. Although he had to admit, he was missing a brunette. Thinking about her, a smile adorned his face. Ally had managed to open him up like a can. She listened to him pour his past out. They talked about things that mattered and she was beautiful. He couldn't help but be attracted to how smart, inspirational, and down-to-earth she was. Her demands were amusing to hear with that voice of her's. Austin could probably bet that he'd recognize her voice in a heartbeat.
There were things about her that worried him, nonetheless. Sure, he pondered about asking her out and kissing her or even wrapping his arms around her waist while she made breakfast. Three questions kept running through his head that stopped him from doing any of that. First, what if she lied to him? Second, what if she's too innocent to handle him?
Get your head out of the gutter. Of course, it's not that he's a deprived sociopath.
His past and his present involves killers and drug dealers that are too impure for her. Every crime that he partakes in leaves him scarred even more. Lastly, what if he breaks her heart? Austin Monica Moon has never been in a serious relationship. He's not sure if he would be a good boyfriend to her. He's not even sure if one day he might get killed himself!
Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing cellphone next to him. "Hello?"
"Buddy! What's up! You haven't called me since the arrest of Dawson's daughter. What happened?"
"Uh, yeah we have alot to catch up on. Wanna meet at Johnny Rockets?" Austin shook his head.
"Woah! You want to go somewhere? Let's go! Shall we meet in 15 minutes?"
"Sure! You're paying for me though." The blond playfully told him.
"Anything for my blond best friend!"
-.-.-.-.-.
Twenty-hours
Austin walked into the diner and immediately saw his red-headed partner stuffing his mouth with fries. "Dez! Whaddup?"
Dez grinned at him and observed intensely. "There's something different about you? Are you with a girl?"
"Eh, kinda?"
Austin began to explain everything to Dez, who was beyond excited to meet the brunette who rocked Austin's world. It was obvious the blind was attracted to Ally, simply by the way he spoke about her.
"She's really cute and funny. But like, a stupid funny. The type of funny that makes you wanna make fun of her and hug her."
"Man, it seems like you really love her. I have to see her!"
"Relax... I texted her friend, Trish, and told them to come over here. They went to the mall." Austin chuckled as he chewed on a fry. He looked around the diner and saw a few families enjoy milkshakes happily. The warm vibes around him made him feel all fuzzy inside.
"Hey Austin!" The two shoppers entered the diner with a few bags in their hands. Trish fist-bumped the blonde while Ally went to give him a bear hug.
"Dez, meet guard Trish de la Rosa and Ally Dawson."
Dez bowed humorously. "Greetings! It's awesome to meet you gals. Especially you, Ally, who I hear is living with my best friend."
Ally laughed, "Unfortunately." She winked at Austin.
Austin's eyes became saucers and he turned to Trish. "What did you teach her?" He tried to whisper but it was audible.
"Trish taught me to be more flirty." Ally laughed, "I can't wink for my life. I was playing with you, Monica."
Dez's mouth hung open. "Monica! You already told her your middle name! You didn't tell me your middle name until three months after we started to hang out!" He looked at Ally with a smirk. "You're privileged."
The four friends ate comfortably in the booth while talking about funny personal experiences. Ally was beyond ecstatic to have these people to talk with. She was used to having her grandma to rely on, but now she had three more friends to count. Austin sat next to her, keeping their knees in touch. Her mind wandered about, thinking about him maybe liking her. Was it even possible?
"So Ally, do you have any special person?" Dez asked. His eyes flickered to Austin knowingly, but he looked at her with a smile.
"Um, no one, really. I've never had a boyfriend."
"What?!" Trish and Dez shouted. They were astounded.
Ally stuttered, embarrassed, "I- uh, never connected with anyone. I've dated! Never had a boyfriend though." She twirled her golden hair nervously.
In a matter of seconds, things became unbelievable.
Shots fired in from outside. The window glass near the group shattered, making everyone lie on the ground. Austin and Dez immediately alerted their squad. Trish and Ally wondered why someone tried to shoot them. No one realized that the shots fired symbolized a battle had begun.
-.-.-.-.-.
