So there I was, trying to think of a creative way to do this chapter, when lo and behold... nothing came to me. So, I decided to just start rewriting this old fic of mine that I meant to for a while, and it is now pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. But then, I got only two reviews, and it stung. It was like stomping all over my self esteem. Then, I was naive enough to upload a new chapter and I woke up to twelve new emails.

All from my lovely readers of PCA. Not one was from my other fic. And then I thought, hey, why should I be wasting my time on people who won't bother reviewing this story when I have my ever loyal readers from PCA? I then realised how much more you guys mean to me than usual. Really, guys, even though I give you guys a little chapter then go MIA, you're still there reading and reviewing. And, let me tell you, when I realised this, I almost burst into tears. I'm for real here. My sister got worried.

Anyway, if any of you are actually reading this, I just want to say thank you so much and that I really do love you guys! No words will ever be able to explain the love I feel for you guys! *Tears up*

Review Responses!
inkling13: Thank you so much! I will try, I swear, to update sooner and keep the characters awesome!

Randomsmileyperson: when I was typing it out, I did make Austin hate the outdoors. But then I figured since Austin is such an active person and loves sports and stuff like that, I figured, hey, wouldn't it make sense if he liked the outdoors because of all the space, the fresh air, and all the adventures that could come with being outside? But it was hard to decide which way to write it, I'm not gonna lie.

Guest: You bet! I love rainbows, do you?!

Queenc1: Yeah, but they will come back together just now, you'll see ;) and Auslly is just the best thing ever!

Lalalala: I just love how your reviews are long! Seriously, I just feel giddy when I see your name pop up! Oh, thank you so much for saying that! I do wish people would review, even if it's just to tell me how much they hated reading it. You're one of my most trust reviewers.

Guest: Auslly is just that awesome!

Jamesmaslow4evz: You bet ;). Oh man, I just can't wait to get my ideas out of my head and onto FF!

Guest: Thank you! I will try harder, I promise!

Guest: I will try and update sooner, promise!

Guest: Maybe not for a while, actually. I was thinking about it, actually and I think maybe later on. Like, way on.

So to say thank you very much for being awesome and amazing, I will have a new chapter ready this week! Maybe on Thursday or Wednesday?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN AUSTIN LOVES JULIET, MORE THAN ROMEO LOVES PANCAKES!

...wait a second. I meant Austin loves pancakes and Romeo loves Juliet. Hehe. Sorry. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

I Own Nothing!

Ally's POV

"Can I have more syrup, Dad?" Matt asked in an incredibly loud voice. I hadn't even entered the kitchen yet and yet I could already hear him.

I hadn't realised that I fell asleep until I woke up to the sound of Logan's little brothers fighting over something or the other. Really, what a sound to wake up to. But I didn't mind. I was still in my own little bubble of bliss, my mind still lingering on my morning with Austin. I felt to much better and relaxed than I had in a while. Austin and I dozed off again after sneaking back into the house. Alfie was already downstairs, so I don't know if he fell asleep anyway.

It seemed that Austin and I woke up at the right time, because the Sloanes – sans Mrs. Sloane – were in the kitchen eating breakfast.

"Wouldn't you rather have some more milk?"Carlos was asking when we walked in. "Your cereal looks a little dry, bud." Matt started to protsest, when he noticed us.

"Miss Ally! Are you okay today?" he asked me. I smiled a little, "Yes, thanks for asking, Matt."

"Are you really?" Carlos asked, looking between Austin and I. I nodded, and Austin took my hand, giving it a squeeze.

"Yeah, thanks," Austin said, "But you don't look like you slept at all, Carlos." Carlos sighed and rubbed his eyes I saw he had bags under his eyes and his clothes where still crumpled. Clearly he had slept in them.

"I haven't," he said with a chuckle, "But I'm really busy... with work and all."

"That's why I found him sleeping on the couch!" Matt exclaimed, reaching for the bottle of syrup. Carlos grabbed it before he could. Matt didn't know it, but he had just dropped a huge bombshell on everyone. Obviously things did not go well between him and his wife. Logan kept her gaze glued to the table, her cheeks flushing. I couldn't tell if she was embarrassed or angry.

"Why don't you start eating, now?" Carlos said. I took a seat at the end of the table, with Austin sitting directly across from me. He instantly reached for the pile of pancakes and waffles. I settled for some cornflakes. Next to me, Matt was also eating cornflakes but they barely had any milk in them and seemed to be swimming in syrup. I shook my head. Kids.

Carlos checked his watch and sighed, "You guys don't mind taking the kids to school for me, do you? I have a meeting in ten minutes and I'm already running late. But I'll pick them up after school."

"No, Dad," Logan said, "You do what you need to do. Blondie, Ally and I will take them."

"Yeah. In fact, we'll take full responsibility for them for the whole day," I said. In other words, keep myself as far away from Mrs. Sloane as possible.

"We will?" Austin asked. Logan reached over Liam and smacked Austin upside the head. "Ow! I mean, yes why not?" I rolled my eyes.

"Are you guys sure?" Carlos asked, running his hand over his face. I nodded determinedly, "Yes."

"I love how you don't ask if we're okay with this plan," Rory said, rolling his eyes, "especially since it's us you're discussing."

Carlos just rolled his eyes and put his plate in the sink. "Behave," he said gruffly before getting up and leaving. He stopped and turned around.

"Oh, and Austin's in charge."

"What!?" everyone exclaimed in unison. Well, everyone besides Austin himself. He just went, "sweet!"

"Uh, not sweet!" Logan exclaimed, standing up."Dad! I'm your daughter! And Blondie's..." she trailed off, avoiding Austin's eyes. Rory laughed, and I cracked a smile. It was clear she didn't want to say anything inappropriate with Liam and Matt in the room. Austin scowled and flung a piece of his pancake at her. She caught it with her mouth and stuck her tongue out at him, making Austin's scowl deepen.

"Well, Logan, Austin's the oldest. Nothing personal it's just... it'd be wrong to let you in charge since you're only nineteen and we have a proper adult here." I almost laughed at the thought of Austin being a 'proper adult'.

"Yeah," Austin quipped, smirking, "so sit down and finish your breakfast, Fran Flakes."

"Don't call me that!" Logan snapped. Carlos sighed, "Maybe Ally would be a better option."

"No, sir, I swear I'll make you proud!" he exclaimed, making Logan and I share a look.

"Okay. If you say so. I really have to get going. You know where the keys are. Good luck!" And then he was gone.

Once he was gone, Austin puffed out his chest. "Franny, sit down." Logan scowled and crossed her arms.

"Make me," she sneered.

"I don't make trash, I bury it."

"Ooh!" I said, laughing now.

"Blondie!"

"Fran Flakes, I'm asking you nicely to sit down and eat your breakfast so we can go," Austin said, almost sounding responsible. Almost.

"You can't tell me what to do."

"Sit," he said firmly.

Logan didn't move.

"Sit, Francesca!"

She didn't move a muscle.

"One..." She didn't move.

"Two..."

"Logan, just sit down," Rory said, leaning back into his chair.

"Three!"

"Okay, okay! I'll sit! Jeez..."

"Who's a good Franny?" Austin cooed. She grabbed his arm and gave him a Chinese Burn, making him whine like a wounded puppy. Liam laughed.

"Hey, Mr. Austin," Matt said, "Can I have some more syrup in my cereal?"

"Kid, let me show you how it's done," Austin said, standing up and walking around the table to Matt's seat. I watched as he took Matt's bowl, filled it to the brim with syrup, whipped cream, ice cream toppings and a can of soda. You couldn't even see the bowl anymore.

"Awesome!" Matt squeaked when he saw his plate.

"Austin you can't give him that!" I scolded, taking Matt's bowl away just as he grabbed his spoon.

"Why not?"

"It's got too much sugar, it's unhealthy!" I scolded.

Austin rolled his eyes, "Oh come on, Ally. Let the kid have some fun. I mean, look at his sad little face!" Matt looked up at me with his blank expression. I looked at Austin and raised an eyebrow at him. Austin tapped the side of Matt's head and instantly Matt's blank expression was replaced with one full of sorrow. His eyes widened and his lips formed into an adorable pout. Austin leaned in beside him and gave me the same look. I almost gave in.

"Aw," I cooed. "you're pathetic," I snapped to Austin. I walked over to the bin and emptied the plate. What a waste.

"NOOOOO!" Matt and Austin howled.

"Quick! Maybe some of it landed on the top!" Matt exclaimed, pushing past me with a spoon in hand. To my disgust, Liam and Austin followed and soon they began to dig in.

"That's disgusting," I said, shaking my head.

"I know right," Rory said, but I could tell he wanted to be there too. Sad, sad people.

"What do you see in him?" Logan asked, looking over to Austin.

I shrugged and grinned. "My dear friends, love is blind."

Man. They are just gross! Sorry much didn't happen in this chapter. I did have troubles in finding creative ways to make this chapter more enjoyable. But I have a tone of ideas for the next chap, where they take care of the kids. I'm so sorry it's short, but I'll try and update quicker! Please review and let me know I'm loved!

Sammie!
