Holy cow you guys! We've surpassed my goal! Thanks so much! xoxo
After spitting out I think close to 6 chapters in the past few days. I need a mental/creative break. My 1st wedding anniversary is on Sunday so I'll try to get you guy the next chapter before then. I just want to give you guys quality rather than some shotty rushed chapter. I hope you guys understand and please bear with me.
Disclaimer: Yeah yeah. We know that I don't own Austin and Ally or The Disney Channel.
Dez's POV
I know that you guys probably think that I've been really hard on Austin, yeah maybe I have been but I'm not going to apologize for that. I'm honestly tired of Austin always picking the wrong girl over Ally. I mean it is getting seriously ridiculous. As long as Austin follows my rules and doesn't contact Ally before the two week mark he has a shot. Austin was in desperate need of a reality check. He just assumed that Ally would sit and wait around for him. Why do guys expect girls to wait around forever? It's actually unrealistic, this is coming from a guy.
Oh, remember when Chelsea paid 5K to go on a date with Austin? I decided to go salsa dancing with Ally, did some fancy move and she knocked Chelsea over. I wanted to laugh, but when I saw that Austin was more concerned about Chelsea well he makes Dr. Cupid's job a lot harder.
I may have been distracted with the unicorn at Heidi's birthday party, but that doesn't mean I wasn't observant and aware of my surroundings. You see I'm pretty slick when it comes to that. I know most people think that I'm just a goofball, to some extent it's true because yes I'm definitely quirky, but if there's one thing I know it's people.
I watched Austin say to Ally,
"If we're not going to be together. It's only a matter of time before one of us meets someone else."
Man, does that guy ever think before he talks. It's frustrating because he's so in love with her and yet he fucks up over and over and over and over again. Trish is definitely fed up with his shit too. It's like Austin has to see another guy flirting and wanting to be with Ally before he gets his ass in gear and admits that he wants to be with her.
Her response, "You think it's time for us to move on and date other people." Poor Ally, he was dressed as a prince and saying this stuff to her.
Austin: "Maybe. Whatever happens, I just want you to be happy." Bad move Prince Charming. That was the kiss of death because shortly after Ally met Gavin.
Ally: I want you to be happy too.
OUCH. That was so painful to watch. I remember thinking wow, how is Ally not crying right now? She looks disappointed, it took all my strength not to smack Austin upside the head.
Honestly, I've always been Team Ally. They have something special that most people wish that they could have. They're the perfect two.
Austin even said once,
" I want you to be my partner. You're a songwriter with stage fright. I'm a singer who loves to be on stage. We're a perfect match. What do you say?"
Sure Ally was hesitant at first, but who wouldn't be? Austin did steal her song.
The turning point in Auslly finally acting on their feelings was whenever they perform their duet You Can Come to Me. I don't think that they realized it, but that was their transitioning song from friends into something more, and an acknowledgment that they were starting to fall for each other.
Crap. It's 9:15 a.m. here I've just been reminiscing and thinking about how Austin and Ally belong together. This meeting is for them, it's for the best.
I yell downstairs to Didi, my mom and dad.
"Hey! Can someone watch Albert for an hour? Trish and I have a meeting at Starr Records, but I still need to get ready real quick."
My mom yells back, "Sure Dez. I'll just wait to go grocery shopping an fold laundry in the meantime.
I thank my mom, throw on the clothes that I picked out last night before bed, pet Albert on the way out the door, get in the car to drive to Starr Records.
Starr Records
I meet up with Trish in the parking lot at 9:50 a.m. I hand her the verses that Austin wrote, we put them in the leather portfolio she's holding before walking through the glass doors to meet with Jimmy and Ronnie.
"I see that you left Albert at home. Good." She pauses, "Alright Freckles, so we need a plan."
"Well we're going to pitch to Jimmy and Ronnie to help us fuse the song together." I state towards her.
"That sounds great, but they're probably going to wonder why Austin and Ally aren't with us. What are we going to tell them?" Trish asks me sounding nervous.
"Well, we can't tell them that Auslly is fighting and currently not on speaking terms. Let's just tell them that Austin had something with his parents that he couldn't get out of. Ally's busy working over at Sonic Boom. We're not lying though because Ally's actually at Sonic Boom right now." I tell her trying to calm her nerves.
"They're probably going to ask why we need them to help us fuse this song together though. Oh I've got it, but we'll save that for the meeting." Trish tells me excitedly.
It's 9:55 a.m. we walk up to the desk and tell the receptionist that we have a meeting with Jimmy and Ronnie. She tells Trish and I that Jimmy's expecting us, and shows us into the conference room where he and Ronnie are already sitting waiting for us.
"Trish! Dez!" Jimmy and Ronnie both greet us at the same time ironically also in unison.
We shake their hands saying that it's great to see them.
"Thank you for meeting with us." Trish says sounding very professional.
"Well what did you want to meet with Ronnie and I for? Where are Austin and Ally?"
I knew that they were going to ask that. Stay cool Dez. Don't blow this meeting by fidgeting.
"Austin's has a prior commitment with his family and Ally had to cover for her dad at Sonic Boom today." Great cover Trish!
"Let me get right to the point. This better be worth our time." Ronnie says.
I want to laugh but don't even though he does always start his sentences with Let me get right to the point.
Professional Dez. Be professional.
"It will be Ronnie." Trish responds, then continues. "We have a business proposal for you and we kind of need yours and Jimmy's help with something."
"What do you guys need help with?" Ronnie and Jimmy both inquire.
"Well you see Austin and Ally have been really busy lately, but they've been working on a song in their limited free time. Austin came up with the verses and Ally wrote the chorus. They don't have any time to fuse the song together. and collaborate like they normally do with their crazy schedules. Do you think that you could help us?" I say in a serious tone.
"Go on. I'm listening. If we help you to fuse this song together. What do we get out of it?" Jimmy asks leaning forward on the conference room table to show that he means business and is interested in what we have to say.
Trish interjects,
"If you fuse this song together successfully then Austin and Ally can perform it together as another duet. I know that you guys aren't crazy about them being on competing record labels, but we can put this song on Ally's new album and we can also put it on Austin's next album. The fans love Austin and Ally performing together, it'll be great P.R. for the record labels."
It looks like we have Ronnie's attention as well the only difference is that he has his hands clasped together.
Jimmy looks at Ronnie, silently asking what he thinks about mine and Trish's business proposal. Ronnie nods his head in agreement.
All of the sudden Jimmy shouts,
"Jessica! Would you please come in here?"
We hear a female call from the hallway,
"I'm on my way right now Jimmy."
A girl walks in with long black hair, all, slender and a pretty olive complexion.
"Trish, Dez. This is Jessica. Kira's songwriter. It's been a long time since I've fused a song together, but if you don't mind I'm sure that Jessica can help us out with this."
"Jessica please have a seat. I need you to take these verses Austin wrote and put them in an order you think flows nicely. I also need you to decide where the chorus Ally wrote will go and how many times you think it should be repeated."
"Sure thing Jimmy. Let me just go to the sound room, I'll be back as soon as I can."
After about fifteen minutes Jessica comes back from the sound room with the piano and has put Austin and Ally's song together. She says that she needs someone to do Austin's verses. Now, I'm not the best singer but Jimmy needed someone to step up to the plate so I did, while Jessica sang Ally's chorus.
"So what do you guys think?" Jessica asks timidly, I can tell that she's hoping for approval.
"I think it sounds great." Ronnie says sounding pleased.
"Austin and Ally are going to love this." Trish says beaming at her.
"Thank you Jessica. That will be all." Jimmy responds.
Jessica leaves us in the conference room with Jimmy and Ronnie to get back to the rest of our meeting.
"So let's start wrapping this meeting up. I have another meeting soon." Jimmy informs us.
Ronnie speaks up, "Well Jimmy since we had the meeting here and I agreed with Trish and Dez's proposal about the song. I want Ally and Austin to record the song at Ramone Records."
"That makes sense, since you need to put out Ally's album soon." Ronnie looks surprised, but satisfied nonetheless.
"But-" Jimmy halts, "I have one condition."
"What is it?" Ronnie, Trish and I all ask.
"I want throw Ally's album release party. If it's really an issue with you then we can host it together. I also want to be the one to put on the first concert and have their duet be the opening act for Ally's album release party, and I want Ally to go on tour with Austin on his next tour."
"I know that Ally's tour might come first, I'm okay with that. I just want to introduce them. I feel like I've known them forever and I'm really proud that Ally overcame her stage fright. We both know that I wanted her to sign with me, but I've come to terms that's she's signed with you."
"She's my artist, but that's fine with me. We can schedule something so that Ally can do her tour first, then go on tour with Austin for his next album. Besides it's only one release party and one concert that you're introducing them for. So, I don't see a problem with that."
"An Austin and Ally duet will be good for both our record labels."
"So we have a deal?" Jimmy asks as he puts out his hand for Ronnie to shake.
"Deal." Ronnie shakes his hand.
"Yes!" Trish and I both say excitedly. Ronnie and Jimmy both look at us serious, but then just start laughing and smiling with us as well. After a couple of minutes, Ronnie speaks up again.
"Now Trish. You need to find time to have Austin and Ally come in within the next week or two to record their track at Ramone Records. I have a feeling it's going to be a hit."
Trish tells Ronnie that she will do as he asks, we shake hands with Jimmy and Ronnie and exit the conference room.
Our meeting is finished and was a total success. Now, we only need to get Austin and Ally to record it and in the same room as each other. Trish and I wait for the elevator doors to open and take us back down to the first floor so we can walk out to our cars.
"Trish! I can't believe that Jimmy and Ronnie went for it."
"Operation Auslly! We're making progress."
"Dez your plan was genius!"
"Hey you're the manager. I was just the brains behind the operation." I smirk at her pleased with myself.
"I'd ask you to go get fro-yo, but I need to go check on Ally. Don't worry I won't tell her about the song just yet."
"That's fine. I should probably go check on Austin and then go home right after to feed Albert his breakfast."
"Dez. You mean lunch right? It's almost 1:00p.m. Well Albert can't tell time Trish, so he'll be happy when he gets to eat."
She just chuckles at me. "I think that our plan might actually work."
We hug, I say goodbye to her. Now it's almost time for the next part of my plan and the execution of it.
A/N: Do you guys remember what the next part of Dez's plan/guideline is? HOLLER! Hint it's already been over a week. ;-) Oh and Dez and Trish have a backup plan if the next part fails. Don't you worry! Probably a lot of happy Auslly fans! Just sayin' xoxo
Oh. I may do an epilogue after the closing chapter. You guys deserve a lot of Auslly from here on out. Be patient. It's coming I swear!
