Author's Note

Hey! So we meet Austin's family in this chapter, and it is pretty confusing. I confuse myself. They are in fact the members of R5. However, you do not have to imagine them as them. You are free to use your beautiful minds to see them as you wish. Did you see Backups and Breakups? Some great and sexy dancing from Ross. Oh and one more thing, I reached over 200 reviews! You guys are awesome! On to the story.

Disclaimer: I'm still not partying with the cast. But I'm working on it.

Chapter 21

Ally's POV

"Austin! You really didn't have to pay for my ticket," I whine as we walk through the crowded airport.

"Hey! I'm the one that made you come on this trip. Plus it's not like I'm exactly poor."

"But I have my own money you know. I don't need you to pay for my ticket,"

"Oh, so it's a pride thing now. Just take the ticket and stop complaining,"

"But-"

"Nope," He interrupts, patting my head, then grabbing my hand so we can push our way through people and get to our terminal.

The Airport was in full bloom, as frantic people weave their way to their destination. Parents dragging their kids so they won't get lost, happy tourist in awe of everything around them, cameras out and making memories, business men walking around frantically talking into their phones.

If there is one thing I love about airports, it is all the different characters you see. Whether they are a family with excited kids with worried parents, or stressed out business men in suits holding a brief case. There is always a different story.

Austin and I find ourselves sitting at a coffee shop. Another thing I love about airports are all the shop's you'll find. All your needs in one small place! You can find anything here. From snug bookshops, to cell phone stores. And of course, lots of souvenirs.

"You look like such a hipster," I laugh, pointing at Austin's beanie and glasses that he usually wears when he is on the down low.

"I'd rather that, then getting recognised everywhere I go," He points out.

"I guess so. But it looks like everyone is too busy to even recognise you. Look at all these people," I point out to the people, flowing like a river past us.

"One thing I love about airports is all the different people," Austin says nonchalantly. I gape at him in surprise, because that was my exact thoughts a moment ago.

"I agree. I think it's interesting how they have everybody has their own stories,"

"Yeah! Look at that man on the phone," Austin whispers, pointing to a typical business man who was on the phone. "I bet his boss is yelling at him on the other side of the phone,"

"Yeah, and he's saying, 'have those papers on my desk by Friday, or you're fired!'" I imitate in a deep voice, that I dub my 'man voice'.

"And he's like 'But sir, I'm in New York, and you're in Ohio!'" Austin says in a high, dorky voice, making me laugh.

"Or what about that family there?" I say pointing to a family with kids running everywhere, and the parents trying to keep them under control.

"They husband is like, 'keep your kids under control!" He says in a deep voice he thinks that man would talk in.

"And the wife is like 'I love how their only my kids when they misbehave Burney'!" I say in a croaky voice I think the woman would have.

"What kind of name is Burney?" Austin laughs.

"It's a name!" I exclaim in my defence.

"From what century?" asks, quirking an eyebrow.

"I don't know! But it is still a name! It's short for Bernard!" I exclaim.

"I feel sorry for any unfortunate kid who is named that. Their parents must've hated them,"

After that we spent all our time doing nothing and everything. It was really comfortable around us, unlike some times when we are together. I felt like Austin wasn't trying to be 'Austin Moon', but Austin, the normal human being. And I prefer that Austin a lot.

The air was easy, and he was joking around like any 23 year old would. We walked around some shops, taking funky pictures in some crazy hats, or with some silly cards with funny (and corny) jokes on them. I showed him some of my favourite books, and he took a picture of him with his album in his hand. All in all, it was some good fun.

Alas, our fun ended when we had to board the plane. Austin wanted to get first class tickets, but I refused. We had a massive fight over it, but I won after talking a lot and blabbering on for almost 5 minutes, until he said that if I shut up, then he'd let us get the tickets and be done. Talking too much has always been a gift of mine.

So now we are sitting side by side on the plane, after hours of security check (seriously, I know it stops the plane getting hijacked and all, but it takes forever!) we finally made into the plane. I haven't been on a plane in forever. The last time I went on holiday was when I was like 10. But then again, I had to get on a plane when I was 18 to come to New York in the first place. But I wouldn't call that a holiday.

"So what are you're parents like?" I ask Austin, once we are settled in our seats.

"Well, they are kind of embarrassing, so no asking questions about me, aright?" He warns making me chuckle a little.

"I can't keep any promises. I mean, who would pass up the chance to hear embarrassing stories about Austin Moon?"

"Please don't" He begs, burying his head in his hands.

"Fine. But I can't help it if they slip something out. I mean, they must be really proud of you,"

"Honestly, I think they are disappointed in me," He says in a bitter voice. I look at him puzzled. Who would be disappointed with their son who has made his dream come true?

"I'm sure their not," I reassure.

"Yes they are. They never approved my career as a singer. And now I am getting all this bad press, they must think I'm a failure," He says with a wry smile.

"Never think that," I say, looking him straight in his golden-brown eyes. "Your parents will always love you no matter what the stupid press say. Don't put yourself down like that Austin. You are amazing at what you do, and I know with no doubt that your parents are so proud of you,"

After my little speech, I pull Austin in for a tight embrace. At first his body tensed, but he soon melted into the hug and also puts his arms around me. After a minute I feel Austin mumble a small 'thank you'. I smile, knowing that I made him feel better. I really love his hugs. When we reluctantly pull away, I offer him a warm smile that he returns with a radiant grin. My whole body tingles as my heart skips a beat.

After this we go through the safety procedures. And the instructions went through one ear, and out the other. Then we are ready for take off. The red light went on, indicating that we were ready for take off, and that we had to put our seatbelts on.

I look over to Austin, who was digging through his hand luggage. I raise an eyebrow as he pulls out a pack of 'Ice Breakers Sour Mints'. I look at him curiously while he takes one out the pack and pops it in his mouth.

He just shrugs. "People say that if you suck on something when we go up, your ears won't pop as much," Then he thrusts the box towards me. I look at it sceptically, and then shrug as I take one out of the circle container. When I pop it in my mouth, I cringe at the sour taste.

"These are really sour,"

"That's the point," He says in a sardonic tone.

After that the plane took off, and surprisingly, Austin was right, the candy did help my ears. After that I spent most of the ride writing in my journal. Austin kept peaking over my shoulder to see what I was writing, but I would just flick him in the ear then turn away from him. Soon enough he stopped trying, and watched a film instead.

The ride was really relaxing as we soared through the sky. Unfortunately the crying babies weren't quite so nice. But when they went to sleep, needless to say, it was much more peaceful. I look past Austin (who had begged me for the window seat), and out the window. The fluffy clouds were now all around us. I always wondered what it would feel like to walk through clouds. I know that I'm not walking, but this is close enough.

"Ally. We're landing," Austin softy informs me. I flutter my eyes open to find my head leaning on Austin's shoulder. I look up at him dazed, still not quite of dreamland yet.

"Hey sleepy head. Have a fun time dreaming about me?" He coons, making me snap my head. I must've fallen asleep, and my head fell on his shoulder. That is so embarrassing! Why didn't he wake me up, or move me?

"Yeah. It was a great dream." I reply, catching him off guard for a second. "So why didn't you wake me?"

"Because you look so cute sleeping," He shoots back, making me blush.

"You were watching me when I was sleeping. That isn't creepy at all," I say sarcastically.

"Your right, it isn't."

"Obviously you didn't catch my sarcasm,"

"I did. I'll admit, I liked you better when you were sleeping." He whispers in my ear, sending a ripple of shock down my nerve system. "You looked so peaceful," He breaths, getting closer. "And venerable," I was holding my breath for dear life. "But most of all," he starts. "You weren't talking," He lightly bites my ear, then turns back to his seat as if nothing happened, leaving me shocked.

I only came back to reality when I heard the ding, and the light went on signalling that I had to put my seatbelt on.

"Oh yeah, if you think that I look so sexy in this hat, I should wear it more often," He says smugly with a smirk on his face. My eyes widen as I recall what I had written in my book earlier on. Oh I am so getting him back!

Here I am standing at Austin Moon's house, getting ready to meet his parents. If you had told me this a month ago, first, I would be like 'who's Austin Moon?'. Secondly, I would ask you what you were on. Yet here I am.

"I'll warn you now; my family is a bit crazy." Austin warns me, with a totally serious expression on his face. I roll my eyes, and chuckle a little.

"Surely they're not that bad,"

"Don't say I didn't warn you," He sighs as he knocks on the door.

When he does, a gorgeous girl with long blond hair opens the door. She has warm brown eyes that widen at the sight of Austin and I, and she is about 6 foot tall. She is with no doubt, Austin's sister.

"Austin!" She exclaims happily as she pulls him in for a bone crushing hug. Suddenly 4 more boys come running behind her.

"Did someone say Austin?!" One of them exclaims. Just like Austin, he was overwhelmingly tall, but he had silky longish brown hair.

Austin laughs, as he struggles to slip his way out of the tight hug he was engaged in. Once he finally manages to work his way out, he is tackled by 3 of the boys in another hug, while the other one just stands there on the sidelines calmly, watching in amusement. Okay, maybe Austin wasn't overreacting after all.

"And who is the pretty lady we have here," The tallest one says, raising a sly eyebrow, once he spots me. He looked the most like Austin, with the same eyes and blond hair.

"I think you might want to back off there Andrew, because I believe that that is the girl that has finally managed to get Austin to have a serious girlfriend in years," The girl says, making me want to disappear in embarrassment.

"So this is the famous Ally Dawson," The last boy said. He wasn't related to them by the looks of it, but I could still see they were close friends. I awkwardly wave at them, to show that they were right, and that I was in fact, Ally Dawson.

"Austin! Don't be so rude, introduce us," the girl scolds Austin. There's no mistaking that she is the most outspoken out of the group.

"Right," Austin say clearing his throat. "This is Amber, my favourite sister." He says pointing to the bubbly girl.

"I'm your only sister," she points out.

"That is debatable. We still have Andrew," Their friend with the brown hair jokes, making everyone snort with laughter.

"Hey! I am not a girl!" Andrew protests. He's the one that called me pretty earlier. He was defiantly the oldest out of the bunch.

"Really, because you are the only dude I know who takes like an hour on his hair," The other one say, who hasn't said a word until now.

"I'm sure Austin is a close second," I add, which fires all of their (excluding Austin who is now glaring at me) laughter again.

"I like this girl," the one with long brown hair breathes out between laughter.

"I don't know why you're laughing Alex, you're the one who is in desperate need of a hair cut," Austin retorts smugly. Alex immediately stops laughing, and glares at the boy who is wearing a smirk on his face.

"At least I don't have some stupid hair cut like Adam," he exclaims pointing at their friend, who was called Adam, redirecting their laughs at him.

"My hair cut is not stupid! It's really stylish," he huffs. "At least mine is not as boring as Aaron's. I mean look at it," he points to the quiet one who hasn't spoken at all. He was obviously the youngest, and the quietest.

I just stood and watched in amusement as the hyper family reunite. You could tell that they were really close. Growing up as an only child, I never really got to experience anything like this. It really was heart warming.

"Look at you lot. Fighting in front of a special guest," A stern woman's voice says from behind me. They all stop abruptly and look at her.

She had long blond hair that was mixed in with a couple of greys mixed in. She looked like she was in her early 50's. She unlike all the others, she had piercing blue eyes and she was staring down at the bunch. There was no mistaking that she was Austin's mother.

"I'm so sorry for their manners. You must be the lovely young lady who has made Austin finally decide to settle down. So when can I expect grandchildren?" My face was now burning red in embarrassment.

"Mom!" I hear Austin whine. She just laughs, and pulls Austin and me in for a hug. I stand there paralysed because of the sudden movement.

"Austin dear, you are getting a little thin. Are you eating properly?" She asks, poking at his sides.

"Mom!" Austin whines again.

She rolls her eyes and laughs again, pulling away from the hug. "I know. You don't want me to embarrass you in front of your girlfriend. I just worried about my little baby," She says, pinching his cheeks.

"Please stop," He moans, stopping his feet like a little child. I chuckle at how putting him back into his childhood home, made him act so childish again.

"And Ally! Aren't you just so pretty! A little skinny, but we can change that!" She chirps happily.

"Stop torturing the poor kids Mimi," A deep masculine voice says.

"Oh don't ruin my fun Mike!" He just chuckles, and puts his arm around her waist.

"Welcome to our home. It's very nice to meet you Ally," he greets, with a friendly smile. I put my hand out for a hand shake, but he just laughs and pulls me in for a hug. Wow this family likes hugs.

"You too Mr Moon," I reply politely, still surprised from the hug.

"Please, call me Mike." He insists pulling away. "Austin my boy, come and give your old man a hug," He says pulling Austin in for a hug.

"Hey dad," Austin says sheepishly, as Mike pats his back.

"Enough with the sappy hello's. It's time to part-ay!" Andrew exclaims, making everyone laugh. Tonight is going to be fun.

So basically, Andrew is Riker. I made his character really flirty, and I know that Riker probably isn't like that, but that's how his character is. Amber is obviously Rydel. Alex is Rocky, and Adam is Ratliff. Aaron is Ryland I think that all of their characters are really fun to write, and I can't wait to write more of them.

So Austin and Ally are going to be at the Moon's residence for a couple of chapter. To be honest, I want to wrap up this story up so I can write more wonderful stories for y'all!

Anyway, love it? Hate it? Bored? Critasm?

Until next time!
