Hey. I know it's been a while. Exams are here and I haven't had much time to write.


Ally was trying to distract herself by looking around. Her legs wouldn't stop bouncing. Where is she? The door of the practice room opened and revealed Trish behind it.

"Hey Ally. I got your text. What's up?"

Ally got up and shut the door. Trish looked at her confusedly.

"Austin just asked me out on a date."

"So? I thought you would be thrilled. Besides... He has been taking you on dates way before you two began dating."

"I know but I don't know why I'm so nervous." "What if.. what if history repeats itself? I don't want to go through that again."

"It won't. And you have nothing you worry about. Austin loves you."

"You're right.. I don't have to worry. By the way, I told him that you and Dez would come with."

"What?"

"It sort of slipped out?" Ally said.

"What did you say?"

"Well, he wanted to have a double date. Me, him, Carter and Elliot. So, I thought why not?"

"Fine," Trish said. "I'll go."

"Yay! Trish, I owe you."

"Yeah, you do," Trish said before leaving.

Ally got herself ready for her lunch date and was waiting at the food court five minutes before 3 o'clock. Elliot was the first one of the guys to show up. He sat on a chair opposite of Ally.

"Hey Ally."

"Elliot, hi."

"So... How's everything?"

"Fine.."

After a moment of silence, Ally said, "Look Elliot, I'm sorry for the awkwardness. We just have nothing to talk about."

"No, it's fine. I totally feel the same way."

Then Austin came with Carter and Dez.

"Feel the same way about what?" Austin asked.

"Austin! You're here!" Ally said with a smile.

"Feel the same way about what?" Austin asked again.

"Austin, it's not what it sounds like..." Ally tried.

"It never is," with that, he storms out of the food court.

"Here we go again," Dez muttered.

"Shut up!" Ally got up and ran after him.

Dez and Carter took it as a sign and sat down.

"Are they always like this?" Elliot asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah, totally," Dez replied.

"But don't worry about it. They're fine," Carter tried.


With Austin & Ally, Austin locked himself in the practice room. He sat at the piano. Ally knocked on the door.

"Austin.. C'mon, open up!" Ally said behind the door.

The next thing he knew, the door flung open with a grinning Ally behind it.

"How did you..?" Austin asked in surprised.

She walked towards him after shutting the door behind her. "You're forgetting that I work here."

"Yeah.. I forgot," he admitted lamely.

Ally took a seat beside him. "Talk to me. What's going on?"

"I'm.. afraid. I don't want to lose you again to a guy you've known before me."

"Well.. That's not gonna happen. You know why?" Ally asked.

"Why?"

She smiled and leaned in, "Because I'm with you." She kissed his lips gently before pulling away again. She got up and held out a hand towards him. "C'mon. They're probably waiting."

He chuckled and took her hand. They walked back hand-in-hand.

"You guys okay?" Carter asked.

"Yeah, we're fine," Austin said as he smiled at Ally.


The triple lunch "date" went rather well. Carter and Elliot got along really well and the rest was having a good time. Soon, it was time to go seperate ways. Austin lead Ally to his car and they drove to Miami Beach.

They lay on a beach blanket, watching the seas and sunset. Austin rested his head on Ally's lap and watched her reading her book.

"Austin.. You're staring.." Ally said while holding in a giggle.

"I'm admiring," he said.

She put down her book and looked at him. "It's creepy," she said as she traces his jawline.

"But you love me anyways," he said with a loopy grin.

"That I do," she whispered. She bent her head down and brush her lips against his gently before pulling away.

"You do realize that this is the most cliche thing ever, right?" Ally asked.

"I don't mind. As long as you're with me."

She giggled and gave him one more lingering kiss. When she pulled away, she asked. "C'mon, let's get out of here." He sat up and asked, "Where are we going?"

He got up the same time he did. She walked up and was inches away from his lips. "Let's head up to my apartment and.. see where that leads." She gave him one more kiss before running away, bare feet, while holding her heels in her hand.

He blinked. He then chased after her. He caught up to her and carried her by the waist and spun her around as she giggled.

"Austin!" She shouted. "Put me down!" He did as he was told and stole a kiss from her lips. "My car is this way," he said and he interlock their fingers together.

"Shall we?" he asked.

"We shall." Then they head off to Austin's car.


Okay, I'm gonna stop there. I have really bad writer's block right now. But I'm working on it. This is all I have for you guys. Until next time.
