Author's note: Special thanks to Taty (JustADisneyTeen) for helping me out with this chapter even on such short notice! You're the best!
Ally sat at the piano in the practice room, working on a new song the day after the whole "hater girl meltdown" incident.
"Hey Ally!" Austin said, walking into the practice room.
"Hey Austin!" Ally replied happily.
"I was waiting until Dez and Trish left..." Austin admitted.
"Let me guess, you're here for Dougie." Ally said, standing up from the piano.
Austin nodded his head sheepishly.
"Ok, just let me say goodbye first." Ally said, walking over to where the stuffed dolphin was placed and picked it up.
"Dougie," she said, talking to the stuffed animal. "I know we've been through a lot together. We've had some good times, and we've had some tough times. You're gonna go live with Austin now. I'm gonna miss you a lot, but he's really nice. You are gonna be really happy there."
Austin simply smiled at Ally's exchange with the toy. It obviously meant a lot to her, yet she still wanted to give it to Austin.
"Mommy loves you!" Ally said, hugging Dougie to he chest.
"Ok Austin, he's all yours now. Remember that he loves to be snuggled with every night." Ally said, handing Austin the dolphin.
"Whoa, Ally, he's still your dolphin; he's just gonna be living at my house. You are welcome to come snuggle with him whenever you want. It's like Dougie is our kid and we're his parents!"
Ally nearly blushed at Austin's comment about them being parents.
But she guessed, in a way, he was right.
"Yep." Ally said smiling. "Well then, bye Dougie! Have fun with your daddy!"
Austin laughed at Ally's words and waved to her before exiting the room.
Ally giggled as she heard Austin talking to Dougie from the hallway.
"You're gonna love it at my place, Dougie! I can't wait for you to meet Sergeant Bearington!"
