"Oh my gosh, Austin! I'm SO sorry!" Ally said as Dez helped Austin hop down the stairs; Ally would've helped him, but she was a bit smaller than him, so she would've been very little help in holding his body up.

"No, Ally. It's not your fault." Austin reassured her.

"What are you talking about?! Of course it is!" Ally screamed, growing frantic. "I knocked over the amp, which fell on your foot!"

"Well, when you put it like that, is does kinda sound like your fault." Austin said.

Ally's face fell.

"But it isn't!" Austin quickly said. "It's my fault, I should've known you weren't ready to do a spin yet."

Ally still looked sad as Austin finally reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Ally." Austin said, leaning against the counter as Dez went to call Mimi, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, partly to comfort her and partly to keep him balanced. "This isn't your fault. I'm not mad at you. I'm not blaming you. And even if you are part of the reason it happened, it was an accident. You never meant for it to happen. Stop being so hard of yourself."

Ally leaned her head on Austin's shoulder, wrapping her arms around his torso.

"I just feel so bad." Ally said. "I ruined your chances of doing any sort of dancing in your performance at Trish's party, and I just hate seeing you hurt."

"It's ok." Austin said. "Yeah, I wish I could dance in my performance at the party, but I'm glad I got to teach you how to dance; that tops any dancing that would've happened in my performance."

Ally smiled at that. The two stood in silence for a few moments. His arm around her shoulder, her arms around his middle, head on his shoulder.

"Sometimes I feel like you're too nice to me. That I don't deserve to have a friend as amazing as you." Ally randomly spoke up.

"What?! Ally, that's crazy! I don't deserve YOU! You're so nice and talented and smart and pretty and-"

"You think I'm pretty?" Ally said.

"Well... Yeah." Austin said, surprised by the shocked tone in her voice. "Of course I think you're pretty, because you are."

"But... I'm not a cheerleader; I'm not tall, I don't have super long, luxurious hair, I don't dress like all the other girls at school do with their super tight clothes and shirts with their boobs hanging out with super high heels, I don't wear a ton of makeup, I mean yeah I wear some but not a lot like that's not what I want to spend all my time on every morning-"

"Ally!" Austin said, interrupting her rambling. "That stuff doesn't determine whether you're pretty or not. Because trust me, you're way prettier than all those other girls."

"Really?" Ally asked.

"Yeah." Austin replied, smiling down at her.

"What do you think are my prettiest features?"

"Ally-"

"No, I wanna know!"

Austin sighed.

"You have a great smile. Every time I see you smile, it makes me smile. You have a cute laugh. Whenever I hear it it just brightens my mood, especially when I'm the one who made you laugh. Your ability to play so many instruments and have such a vast knowledge and understanding of music. I've never met anyone who had same passion for music that I have until I met you. You understand music in the same way I thought I could only understand in my head. Ummm... I love how much shorter you are than me. I mean yeah it's just a few inches, but I love how even when you wear heels you're still shorter than me. And you have really pretty eyes; they're always so bright and warm and welcoming and full of happiness. And-"

"Austin, sweetie! Oh my goodness what happened?!" Mimi Moon exclaimed, running into the store.

"It's ok, mom." Austin reassured his mother. "I was just teaching Ally how to dance and I tripped over an amp and hut my ankle."

"Oh sweetheart, are you ok?" Mimi asked.

"Well, my ankle hurts pretty bad." he said, pushing himself off the counter and leaning on Ally for support.

"Oh mom, this is Ally. I don't think you guys have ever met."

"Hi Mrs. Moon." Ally said, reaching her arm that wasn't wrapped around Austin's waist to shake Mimi's hand. "It's nice to meet you."

"Oh Ally! It's so nice to finally meet you!" Mimi said, smiling at the girl. "Austin talks about you ALL THE TIME!"

"Mom..." Austin said, reaching his arm that wasn't wrapped around Ally's shoulder up to scratch that back of his neck, a habit he did whenever he was nervous or embarrassed.

Mimi ignored Austin's embarrassment.

"Well, we better get you to the doctor Austin. It was nice meeting you Ally!" Mimi said.

"Good luck." Ally whispered to Austin before he let go of her shoulders.

"Thanks." he whispered back.

She smiled at him, which caused him to smile.

Mimi wrapped her arm around Austin's waist to stable him as they walked out to her car.

"So you and Ally... Is there anything going on there?" Ally heard Mimi ask Austin as they made their way out of the store.

"Mom!" Austin exclaimed, blushing; which caused Ally to smile.

reviews make me happy :)
