A/N Okay, another short chapter! But I wanted to update quick, so yeah. I'm sure y'all aren't all that interested in the court stuff anyway, from what I've heard. So here ya go. :) Plain, simple, to the point! I plan on the next few chapters being exceptionally long, if I can. We all know I'm not all that great at writing long chapters. (; Hehe. Thanks for all the support I've had up to here! Almost to 20 chapters! Wow! Maybe this fanfic will be as long as I wanted it to be after all. (: I'm expressing the idea of a sequel. I'm not completely set on a plot yet, but I have some ideas. And there also isn't a complete chance that there will be a sequel. Once this fanfic is finished, I will ask you all to review and ask if you want a sequel and blah blah blah... I digress, as usual. Thanks everyone! Enjoooy.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin&Ally nor am I associated with it in any way. All characters belong to Disney, however, I created Ian. All I did was twist the story line. I also don't own the song "Never Say Never" by The Fray, nor am I associated with The Fray.

1 Month Later

I chew on my nails as I work the desk at Sonic Boom for the first time in a long time. I needed something to occupy myself, because I was on end. Today was the day of Ian's trial at the court, and although I was invited to attend, I didn't. I couldn't take it when they found him guilty of third degree murder. I couldn't watch them take him away in handcuffs.

"Thank you, sir. Have a nice day!" I murmur to my customer, and then realize they're looking at me funny. Then I realize the customer I called sir, was actually a woman. "Sorry, sorry!" I gasp, "Ma'am. Have a nice day, ma'am." She snorts and walks away, a new bag of guitar strings in her hands.

I sigh and take a seat behind the counter, pulling out my Book and jotting down some of my stress. Dad was also stressed, he was home cleaning. I think he liked Austin and Ian just about as much as I did.

I begin chewing my stubby fingernails again, then force stop myself. It was getting pretty lonely in the store, but Ian's trial should be over soon. They had been there about three hours now... Long enough. I bet the Moon family was miserable.

Trish comes dragging in the door of the store, wearing a new work costume. She had finally gotten a job again, after I urged her that she needed something to get her mind off the situation. Now she was working at some video game shop in the mall.

"The suspense is killing me, Ally!" She groans. I sigh. "I know, Trish. Me too, but we just have to wait it out. Ian's lawyer is supposed to be really good, he'll do all that he can."

Trish nods excitedly. "I'm still clinging to hope!" She announces I wish I could think like her. Most of my hope had drained, and I was slowly slipping in to depression mode. Austin and I had only spend five days together in the past month, and they were all quiet and full of tension. I missed him.

I groan and slip to the floor behind the counter and lean against it. I didn't expect many more customers today, anyway. Trish joined me on the floor and mocked my groan. I raised and eyebrow at her and she actually giggled. I couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, my phone begins buzzing.

I don't think I've ever imagined jumping up that fast to grab it- especially didn't expect Trish to reach it before I did. "Give it!" I hiss, and she hands it over. I quickly enter my lock code, and my heart stops when I read that the text is from "Blondie Wuvs Yooo!"... a.k.a, Austin.

"I can't read it..." I whisper, and hand the phone to Trish, putting my face in my hands. I hear her gulp as she hits on the message.

It goes silent, then I hear her muffled a sob, then scream... Then she runs out of the store, dropping my phone on the floor.

I huff, and pick it up, startled by her reaction. My reaction is almost the same as hers as I read the text that she read only seconds earlier:

I, Austin Monica Moon (shutup, I know you're laughing), hereby declare than Ian Daniel Moon has been found NOT GUILTY of his actions. :)

A/N Yay! Were you guys shocked? I actually hadn't decided until a little while ago whether to make him guilty or not guilty! But making him not guilty gave me some good plot ideas, which I'm sure you will catch on to in the next chapter, which will be posted tomorrow. Review, favorite, and follow! :)
