A/N: Hey guys, sorry about not updating sooner! Crapptastic week at school. I'm paired up with two annoying guys that don't listen to me and we haven't got anything done. Anyways, how are all of you lovelies? Thanks for 10 reviews for only 2 chapters, I love you guys!

I don't own Austin & Ally. This is getting freaking annoying.

She didn't know what had given her that sudden burst of courage; maybe it was the fact that she felt needed. Like she actually had a purpose for her good ways. All she knew was that she was standing in front of a small mall and did not where the hell to go next. She blamed her curiosity. I mean, it did kill that cat right? Frowning she made her ways through the many stores that completely engulfed the place and scanned her eyes for anyone she knew from school. Maybe they would be nice enough to give her directions. She was new after all.

This was a bad idea, even with all the hope that had filled her heart, she knew deep down it wasn't going to work. Her plan was to find him, then talk to him, the possibly become friends. She laughed at her own dumbness, fuck she was delusional. Was Moon just going to spill out his deepest secrets to her and call her a "friend"? Yeah fucking right. She shook her head and did a 360 turn around. She was going home to forget all that cliché shit that was running through her head. If she could that is.

Heading home she ran into her friend, Trish. She wasn't really expecting that but it was probably better than running into Cassidy at the moment. Cassidy reminded him of him. The last thing she wanted to think about.

"What are you doing here Dawson?"

"Like I said, it's a free country; I'm allowed to be here."

"Watch the fucking attitude"

"Sorry."

"No really, why are you here?"

"I had a stupid idea."

"What was this so-called stupid idea?"

"I-uh- rather not share."

"Rule number two: If you want to be friends, you have to tell me all your secrets."

"That's not fair!"

"Why not?"

"I barely know you and you haven't even told me anything about yourself!

"Sometimes I wonder how I was so stupid to call you a friend."

Ouch.

"I'm gonna go now."

"Where? I doubt you know this place very well."

"I know enough to get me anywhere but here."

"See now that's why I liked you!"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, you might seem like that good girl, but you've got a mouth when you need it."

"Whatever you say."

"Wanna get a smoothie?"

Okay now this was new. I mean who did that? Was all of Miami like this? She shook her head and let out this small chuckle.

"Yeah, I'd rather not, I'm thinking of going on with this so-called stupid idea."

"'kay bye!"

Like that she was gone. She had never met a girl like Trish before, this was all new. In reality, she didn't know what to think about her sassy friend. Trish was just so outspoken in some of the wrong ways.

She couldn't think about Trish, not when she had a mission, to find Cassidy. Her new plan was to find Cassidy and talk to her about her rough relationship with Austin Moon. She needed some background knowledge before she could actually talk to him in person. She needed to know him from a different perspective first. So she dialed Cassidy's phone number.

"Hi Cassidy."

"Oh, hey Ally!"

"Can we talk for a little?"

"Uh-sure where at?"

"Uh-I don't actually know…"

"Meet me at Minnie's café on East and Main."

"Uh, okay."

Minnie's Café

Ally waited on one of the outdoor tables near the café, her eyes skimmed through the menu. Jeez, why was everything so small? Seriously, she would probably never get used to Miami. Cassidy came five minutes prior to their agreed time but, hey, she was here right?

"Sorry Ally, my little brother spilled milk all over me and then drew on me with some crayons, I can't come to you looking like shit."

"S'kay Cassidy, I only have one question…"

"Uh-huh?"

"Why are things here so small?

"Did you not read the sign?"

"Well yes but…"

"Anyways what did you want to talk about?"

"Oh, uh- I wanted to ask you about Austin Moon."

Cassidy darkened at that. Her sparkly eyes seemed to lose that spark and became dull and lifeless. But they had something more to them. Hatred.

"What about him?"

"I want to know your point of view on him."

"I don't want to…"

"Please"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I have a theory."

"Tell me your theory."

"Okay, all humans imperfect right?"

"Yeah…"

"They all have their sort of shell they hide behind, whether it's a good shell or bad shell."

"Uh-huh…"

"Well I believe that Austin has been trying to break his shell but everyone has been just sort of not letting him."

"Okay?"

"I want to know what it takes to break that spell."

"You're delusional."

"Good, I'm not the only person that thinks that."

"I will never understand you."

"People never really understand themselves until put in a life-threating situation."

"Nice to know…"

"I need to know about him."

"What do you want me to tell you?!"

"Anything!"

"Fine, he's your definition of brooding and intimidating. He's your sex god one second then that mysterious man that begs for money on the corner of the street. He just has so many damn sides to him that I don't even know about and it seriously pisses the hell out of me! He can be so sweet to you one minute then he can be so… mean. I never seemed to be that one that he was sweet towards! Honestly, the relationship was just sexual and nothing on the emotional level. He just can't seem to do that!"

"Remember to breath."

"Shut the fuck up, I'm in a zone right now. He was so secretive and dark; he made you want to know more about his ways. His kisses were so strong and overpowering that left you like what-the-fuck-just-happened. His hair was so soft and his eyes were so bright one minute then all of a sudden they were dark. It's like BOOM, he's transformed. He reminds me of Edward Cullen…"

"He reminds you of a vampire?"

"WHAT DID I FUCKING SAY ABOUT TALKING?! Anyways he's very snappy, like he's always on his period. Damn, he's probably worse! He was sweet once. He took me on a date on the beach. Sort of like a picnic. That day was probably the best day ever, and I'm being serious. He kissed me goodnight that was a first."

"Hm, that sounds nice."

"Yeah, it was…"

"Are you…"

"Done?"

"Yeah."

"No, fuck, I haven't even told you half of the things I've wanted to tell you about him."

"Well, go on…"

"I-I-I can't…"

"Why not?"

"…"

Oh, nevermind."

"I-I-I'll tell you when I'm ready okay?"

"Okay, you can take your time."

"I better get going."

"Uh-thanks, you know, for talking to me about all that."

"No problem."

"Alrighty bye."

"Ally…"

"Huh?"

"I hope you help him."

"Yeah, me too."

Ally's mind spun. Damn, she has a whole lot of shit to think about, that's for sure. Then she realized that the only thing she gained was more determination to understand the boy. She was sure there was more to him that meets the eye.

A/N: Sorry about the delay. Lots of shit went down yesterday. Sorry about the quality of this chapter, it was not the best. This had a lot of dialogue so sorry if you get confused about anything! Feel free to ask some questions. Thanks to all of my awesome readers and reviewers! I can't do it without you guys! Please go easy on me, I know I could this could have been better but yeah, you guys know how this shit goes down. Once again, I PROMISE THE ACTION WILL START SOON! SORRY. IM SORRY.

Peace with you all
