A/N I know I promised you all a good, long chapter today, and you're going to get it! I actually am writing both of them kind of at the same time, and the good one will be after this one. :) I will post them close together. I think you all will like both of them, but hey, that's just my opinion. :) Enjooooy.

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. I also do not own "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran, nor do I associate with Ed Sheeran, or write any of the lyrics.

School went by reasonable fast the next day, and I hurried out to Austin's car. He was already there, waiting for me. We cranked up the music loud on the way to Sonic Boom, and laughed as we sang along. We both greeted my dad when we got there, then ran up the stairs and raced to the piano bench. He beat me.

"Hah!" He laughed, catching his breath. We both laugh for a moment before recomposing ourselves and getting down to business "What song do you want to sing?" He asks me, and I shrug. "What do you think would make a good duet?" I hang him my Book. He's the only one I will ever trust to look in there.

"Well," he says, flipping through the old pages, "I would obviously say 'Never Say Never', but I sang that the first time I had a gig there." He stops when he reaches something he seems to be interested in. "How about 'The A Team'?" He suggests. I nodded. "Okay, sounds good to me."

"How about I sing first verse, you sing second verse, and we sing all of the choruses together?" He decides, and I say, "I think that would be fine. The choruses are pretty long, so it will work out good."

I don't know what we were discussing like this, because we already knew 'The A Team' sounded great as a duet. We had recorded it for the album together. A little less than half of the songs on the album we had recorded together.

We rehearsed for about thirty minutes on the song, which we soon realized was pointless, because we had perfected a while back. It was a sad song, but it flowed, and it was almost addicting.

"Well," he sighed, "wanna do anything else?"

I stuck out my lip. "I wish, but I have a ton of homework."

"Calculus?" He asks. I nod.

He smiles. "Study date?"

I consider it. I was afraid that we wouldn't get anything done, but I couldn't say no.

He runs out to his car to get our backpacks, then plops down on the couch. He pats the spot next to him.

I join him, and we pull out our books. We groaned at the sight of the assignment. It would take us an hour and a half at a minimum.

We sat there, wallowing in our own misery, as we studied our homework and slowly filled out worksheets. By the time we finished, the estimated time later, I felt like I would never want to touch a calculator again. I was glad I had accepted Austin's offer to work on it together, though, because he surprisingly helped me stay on task the whole time.

"Well," he sighed, getting up and stretching, "I'm going to go on home and video call Ian to see how he's doing." His face droops. "I miss that guy."

I frown, feeling sorry for him. I didn't think he would get over this until him and his brother were reunited again.

I stood up too, and hugged him. My dad called up to the practice room, saying "Ally! I'm about to go home if you want to catch a ride with me!"

"Okay!" I called back.

Austin put his forehead to mine. "Sure you don't want me to take you home?"

I smiled. "You've done enough for me today."

He kisses my forehead , then gathers his books and puts them back in his backpack. "I'll see you tomorrow." He says to me.

I raise my eyebrow. "There's no school tomorrow." I point out. It was a teacher workday, so students had the day off.

He just shrugs his shoulders and heads out the door. I brush off conversation and begin to gather my own books.
