And here is Ally's poem.
After about an hour of writing, Ally was finally finished with her poem for Austin. She read over her work, feeling proud.

Austin Moon: an acrostic poem by Ally Dawson
/
Incredible performer
/
Loves music
Overcame his fear of umbrellas
Very good at dancing
Exceptional boy
/
Amazing hair
Unique ability to play a trumpet through another trumpet
Sings his heart out
Talented
Intelligence is not always his strong suit
Not the greatest songwriter
/
Moon's Mattress Kingdom is his family's store
Once had stage fright
Never stops eating pancakes
Is best friends with Dez
Can play too many instruments to count
Ally Dawson's boyfriend ;)
/
Made an appearance on The Helen Show
Once met Obama
Owns a nightlight
Never gives up
/
Ally picked up her poem, got up, and left the practice room to go give her poem to Austin. She shouted to her dad to him she was leaving.
"Dad! I need to give Austin something! I'll be right back!"
"Okay!" her dad shouted back.
She walked to the food court, where she found Austin concentrating very intently on attempting to build a French fry tower. She called out to him. "Hey, Austin!"
"What?" he looked up, startled, accidentally dropping a French fry, which knocked over his French fry tower. "Hey, you made me knock over my French fry tower!"
"Sorry." Ally apologized. "But I have something really important I need to give you."
"What is it? Wait, let me guess. Pancakes?!" Austin said excitedly.
"No, not even close. I actually wrote you a poem to thank you for the poem that you wrote me!" she gave him the paper with the poem on it.
"Aww man, no pancakes. But thank you for the poem! Can I read it now?"
"Yeah, sure. And when you're finished, look at what the first letter of each line spells out."
"Okay." Austin started reading.
"I am incredible." he smirked a little.
"Excuse me, I did not need to be reminded of the umbrella incident." he glared slightly.
"Sorry."
"Exceptional boy? Are you stealing lines from me?" Austin raised his eyebrows.
"I was having a hard time coming up with some of the lines, okay?"
"It's fine," Austin smiled.
"My hair is amazing, isn't it." Austin smirked. "Oh stop." Ally laughed.
"Huh, I haven't played a trumpet through another trumpet in a while. I should do that again."
He smiled at the next two lines but frowned at the next line after that. "Well, aside from you insulting my intelligence, thank you for the compliments."
"You're welcome."
"Not the greatest songwriter? C'mon, I know I'm not the greatest, but I did write Steal Your Heart that one time."
"Yeah, you did. And I'll never forget it." Ally smiled.
"Ugh, don't remind me of the stage fright incident."
"Come on, it wasn't that bad."
"Yes, it was! I saw floating heads!" "Austin complained.
"The pancakes line is very accurate." He stared at nothing for a second, dreaming of pancakes.
"Y'know, I'm actually not even sure how many instruments I can play."
"Aww, you added a wink at the end like I did! That's so cute!"
"Ah, the Helen show. Brings back so many memories."
"That day with Obama was CRAZY."
"Agreed." Ally said.
"Did you have to mention the nightlight?" Austin objected.
"I said I was having a hard time coming up with stuff!" Ally relented.
"Neither of us give up."
Austin had reached the end of the poem when he remembered what Ally had said before. He checked the first letter of each line. Then he read them aloud.
"I LOVE AUSTIN MONICA MOON. Aww! Ally, thank you so much for this! And I know I already said it in my poem, but I love you." Austin said with a huge grin.
"And I know I just said it my poem, but I love you too." Ally said, also with a huge grin.
Then they both leaned in for a kiss.
And there you have it. The end. Hope you enjoyed it! :)
