A/N SPOILER ALERT! There is more than one kiss in this chapter :3
June 2nd–3rd; London – Fresh Food & Ferris Wheels
Austin's POV
I pulled away from Ally; her eye's glistening. "W-what was that?" she stuttered.
I laughed. "It was a kiss, Als." I said. I waited to see what she would say about my new nickname for her.
"I know that it was a kiss, but why did you kiss me?" She asked.
I immediately panicked and said, "No reason." I mentally face palmed myself. Well, she still does like Elliot.
I never knew I could be so wrong.
Ally's POV
The next morning when we got back to the hotel room, I made sure that Austin wouldn't come into the room while I was changing.
Speaking of Austin, since the kiss I've thought that I actually do like Austin.
Don't even think about it! Just a couple day's ago he was making fun of you.
Good point, Mrs. Pennyworth. Isn't it great to have you around.
I try.
I walked out of the room to see Trish and Dez fighting about something, Trish's face flushed full of red. "I keep telling you I did not steal any Oreo's,[1] Dez!"
"Then who did steal my Oreo's!"
"Why don't you use that Sherlock Holmes costume and figure it out."
Dez had been wearing a Sherlock Holmes costume since the flight, so I finally decided to ask, "What's with the costume anyway, Dez?"
He looked at me. "I'm trying to figure out who stole a pack of my Oreo's from Australia!"
I just sighed and started to play along. "Who stole your Oreo's?" I asked.
He let out a light chuckle. "It's elementary, my dear Dawson."
I just looked at Trish and sighed. "So, where's Austin?"
"He was just getting four tickets to The London Eye tonight! I have no clue why but I love Ferris-wheels!" Dez started clapping.
I started to shake. "I'm afraid of heights, though!"
"Well isn't it obvious, Ally." Trish got a playful smirk on her face.
"What?" I asked, walking into the kitchen and starting to make a BLT for supper. Well, just a B because there was no L in the suite and frankly, I don't like T.[2]
"It's elementary my dear Daws…" Dez started, being cut off by Trish smacking him on the head.
"Austin is trying to get you…Is that a BLT minus the L and the T?" Trish asked.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! It's a B!" Dez exclaimed.
Trish turned on him. Rolling her eyes, she said "Congratulations, you just gained 1 IQ point."
"So how many IQ points do I have now?" Dez asked.
"Negative Eighty-Seven."
"Austin is trying to get me…" I trailed of for Trish to continue.
Dez looked at me. "It's eleme…."
"SHUT UP!" Trish yelled in his face. Continuing, she said, "Austin is trying to get you to like him, so he will be all protective on the Ferris-wheel and stuff blah blah blah! It's never going to work because you don't like him, right?"
NO!
"Riiiiiiiight." I held out the 'I' for a long time.
Nice going, Allyson.
"Oh my gosh!" Both Dez and Trish gasped.
"What?" I asked, confused.
Dez didn't even get a chance to speak this time before Trish covered his mouth. "You like Austin!"
"Whaaaat? No I d-don't!" I squeaked.
"It's elementary, my dear Dawson. You like Austin!" Dez said, actually sounding smarter, but then shattering that thought by asking the question of, "Do you think the dolphins in Rhode Island stole my Oreo's."
I just looked at him, trying to think about what to say, but then just stayed silent, fearing that he would be insulted by saying something about the, and I quote, 'Oreo-stealing-Rhode-Island-settling-puppy-hating-dolphins.' I looked at the two and sighed. I could be honest with them. "Fine, I like Austin." I had finally admitted my feelings.
They're not the right feelings. You really don't like Austin!
Mrs. Pennyworth, how do you know so much about the real world if you're imaginary?
Imaginary? Of all the things I could be called you call me that! Do you even know who I really am, Ally?
Who?
I am your conscience! I constantly disagree with you so you will choose the right decisions yourself. But I realized that when you gave me a name a long time ago that you really cared about me, so I tell you what you have to do, and what you ARE! YOU DON'T LIKE AUSTIN!
If I thought you up, I can think you away, Mrs. Pennyworth!
Dearie, It's not that easy. I am your conscience! I will never go away!
But I can choose not to listen to you.
…If you do that I will never speak to you again…
I'd be happy with that!
Fine!
Fine!
Good!
Good!
…
Did I just have a fight with myself over what I was allowed think about myself about…okay that was confusing.
"YOU LIKE AUSTIN!" Dez and Trish started cheering and dancing around when suddenly Austin walked in.
"What's going on in here?" He asked.
I walked over to him and said. "Idiots being idiots."
"I feel like that she's saying you're the idiot." Dez nudged Trish on the shoulder.
"Negative Eighty-Eight." Trish muttered under her breath.
"So….." Austin started to trail off from the awkwardness in the room. "I got 4 tickets to The London Eye! But the bad thing is that 2 of us got in a capsule before the next 2, so who wants to go with who? I'm guessing I'm going with De…"
"I'M GOING WITH DEZ!" Trish yelled.
"Dez? Who do you want to go with?" I asked.
"Trish!" He reluctantly answered.
I rolled my eyes at them they could meddle a ton some times.
"Okay, so Ally and I will go on the first capsule and you two will go on the second!" Austin exclaimed. Could I see excitement in his eyes?
"Deal!" We all agreed, Dez and Trish quite loudly.
"Okay so when do we go?" I ask.
"In four hours, so we could order room service…" Austin started.
"NO! I'm making food so you just tell me what you want." I told him, watching Dez and Trish walk into Trish's room, winking at me and gesturing to me to make a move.
I just rolled my eyes. "So what do you want?" I said while sitting at the bar in the kitchen.
"Pancakes!" He clapped his hands while sitting opposite of me.
"For dinner?" I asked.
"Pancakes can be for anytime of the day!" He exclaimed, bouncing up and down like a little kid.
"Okay, I think I have the right ingredients. How many do you want?"
"Ten huge pancakes!" He exclaimed. I chuckled.
"How much can my little boy eat?" I asked, cooing like I would be to a little kid. He played along.
"Lots, mommy, lots!"
I laughed. "You calling me old enough to be able to have a sixteen-year-old child?"
Austin's face dropped. "No, not at all! It just came out wrong!"
I laughed. "Well since you said that, mommies little boy has to help make his pancakes."
He just laughed and I stood there.
"Wait, you're serious?" He asked.
"I'm serious!"
He sighed and walked into the kitchen. "What do we do first?" He asked.
We got the pancake mix started and he started to stir to quickly. "Wait Austin! We need the flour!"
He dropped the spoon into the bowl full of cake mix and reached for the bag of flour. "I got it!"
"NO YOU…" It was to late. He grabbed the wrong bag making the flour bag fall on the floor, bottom first, letting a cloud of flour erupt and swallow Ally full.
Austin started to laugh.
"You think this is funny?" I asked. I picked up the flour bag and grabbed a handful, throwing it into his face.
"It's on, Dawson!" He took an egg and cracked it over my head.
"That's all you got?" I took a glass of milk I had measured out and dumped it down his shirt.
"Now, it's personal!" He said and whipped his shirt off, taking the bag of flour and lifting it over his head getting ready to throw it. Suddenly the bottom of the bag broke and three pounds of flour layered Austin.
I laughed my head off, but when he started walking towards me, he asked. "Who want's a hug?"
"NOOOOO!" I squealed, turning around, but he was too quick. He caught ahold of me and started spinning me around. "LET GO OF ME AUSTIN!"
"NEVER!" He yelled.
"Dez you idiot!" We heard someone yell. We turned our attention to the door and saw Trish and Dez standing there. "Oh, well we should go back in there probably.
I blushed, and looked down at my suddenly interesting shoes. "Lets just finish the pancakes."
Austin laughed. "Well we don't have any flour anymore, considering its all over me, so we'll either have flour-less pancakes or we'll have to make something else."
I sighed. "What do you want to eat besides pancakes?"
"I don't know, what did you have?" He asks, taking a kitchen rag and wetting it.
"A B." I replied.
He started to wipe the flour of his chest. "A B?" He asked in confusion.
"It's a BLT without the L or the T." I told him.
"So basically Bacon on bread?"
"Correct!"
"I'm in for that!"
~X~
Austin and I got in the first capsule of the London eye and I realized that it was empty. The capsule consisted of windows making the entire walls and a wooden bench in the middle.
"Austin, I'm not sure about this. I'm extremely afraid of heights." I said while we started to ascend.
"What?" He asked completely shocked. "Oh my gosh if I knew I wouldn't have let you got on here!"
"Austin…"
"Oh gosh, everything is going horrible…"
"Austin…"
"Only if I knew about your fears this wouldn't of…"
"AUSTIN!" I yelled, and he stopped. "It's alright. It's not like it's pathological or anything. I'll just stay calm and we could have a lot of fun!"
"Ok. We can just talk." He sat down on one side of the bench, and I sat in the middle, close to Austin. "So, what is your worst fear?" He asked.
"Umm…well…" I trailed off, looking out the windows trying to stall.
"It's alright, Ally." He chuckled. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"Ok."
We started talking about random stuff, and we realized how much we have in common. We both are in love with music. He started to talk about performing and stuff along those lines so I thought I would break it to him right now.
"Stage fright." I whispered.
"What was that?" He asked.
"My worst fear is…stage fright." I said.
He got a look of worry in his eyes. "Oh…sorry I never knew."
"But I can sing in front of some people." I said.
"Like?" He asked.
"Trish, Dez, my Dad…you…" I whispered the part with you.
"Really, how about your mom?" He asked.
"I never see her anymore, but yeah I am able too. But We will be able to see her when we go to Italy though, she's coming then to see us."
"Oh, I see."
We were silent for a little more, then I said, "Do you want me to sing?" I asked.
"Finally!" He sighed.
I just laughed.
If you wanna cry I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly
I will be your sky
Anything you need that's what I'll be
If you wanna climb I'll be your ladder
If you wanna run I'll be your road
If you want a friend…[3]
He hushed me by placing his index finger on my lips. "Your voice is beautiful."
We started to lean in when suddenly the door opened. We pulled away from each other reluctantly and got out of the ferris wheel.
~X~
We got back to the hotel and went up to watch a movie. Austin and I were sitting on the sofa where Trish and Dez were sitting in the two recliners.
Austin yawned, stretched his arm back and set it around me smiling. I smiled back. He started to lean in when I suddenly felt our cheeks brush.
"We never got to do this earlier."
He came back and brushed his lips against mine, and I felt fireworks for the second time.
I noticed something then.
I like Austin Moon.
Austin's POV
I leaned in and our lips brushed together, and I could hear Trish and Dez making gagging sounds. I lifted my head reluctantly and turned on them two. "Will you mind?"
"Just ask her to be your girlfriend already!" Trish squealed I just let out a chuckle.
"I was going to just ask her that, if you guys would be patient."
"You were?"
I looked to see Ally looking up at me with her dark brown eyes swallowing my soul, her chocolate-brown locks flowing down her shoulders with the honey-brown tips.
"Ally Dawson, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked
She just laughed. "It's about time you asked. I know it's only been two days but it has felt like it's been two months! Yes. I would love to be your girlfriend Austin Moon."
My heart started racing and I leant down and captured her lips in mine. She has made me happier than I have ever been in my live.
Ally Dawson liked me.
And I liked Ally Dawson.
A/N I really rushed a lot of this, but there will be a ton of drama over the next three months for them, and this story is about how they will maintain their relationship as friends or as boyfriend and girlfriend.
[1] I don't own Oreo's again! But I love them so much!
[2] I had this discussion with my best friend, they wanted BLT's but I don't like any vegetables (or assorted condiments, but every other food I do like.) And I said, "Don't give me the L or the T I just want the B!
[3] I do not own You Can Come to Me, but I learned how to accompany someone singing it on the piano, so now I can sing and play the piano with it at the same time.
I'm thinking about the next place Team Austin goes to is Sweden or Norway, and there are going to be a couple of chapters on that! I need suggestions, especially places with snow if you don't want them to go to Sweden or Norway. Next chapter is going to be entirely in London though.
Partners & Parachutes is coming up soonly! Made up that word.
Thanks for reading! ~TheNargles394
