2 new chapters in 2 days;) that's just because I have finals coming up and won't be able to write as much.

And thank you so much for your reviews; they're awesome. I'm glad you like the story and hopefully will continue to until the story ends.

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally or any characters I didn't make up.

Friday…

Ally was stressed. So stressed that she contemplated not leaving the house at all. Reason of her stress? She had nothing to wear for her date with Austin. She wanted to look beautiful, but not so beautiful that it showed she was trying too hard. 'But he thinks I'm beautiful in anything I wear,' she thought, 'but this is our first date; I can't show up wearing just anything.' She groaned and resorted to her last hope: Texting Trish about her dilemma and telling her to come over for help. 15 minutes later, Trish was there. "I heard a call for help," she teased. Ally rolled her eyes before exclaiming, "I'm supposed to be at the studio in 20 minutes and I'm not even dressed yet! You've gotta help me!" Trish smirked and went into Ally's closet to look for an outfit. "Do you know where he's taking you?" Trish yelled from the closet. "No! He just told me to dress casual. But how casual can I be for a date?" Ally replied as she sat on her bed. A moment later, Trish emerged from the closet with pieces of clothes in her hand. "I suggest you start changing," she said handing Ally the outfit she chose. Ally went into her bathroom and put the clothes on. 'Woah, Trish,' Ally thought as she looked over herself in the mirror. Her outfit consisted of black jeans, minty green top, and black flats. Ally's hair was already done with soft curls. Trish did her makeup naturally. "Thanks, Trish. I would've never picked such an outfit, but I have to say I look good," Ally said. Trish laughed, "You're welcome. Now you better get going, you're already late." They quickly left the house and parted ways.

Ally drove towards the studio to give Mark their songs when her phone received a text. Knowing better than to text and drive, Ally chose to look at it later. She saw Austin's car parked as she stopped the car. Saying hi to the receptionist and security, she rushed to Mark's office. "Ms. Dawson, Mr. Reynolds is waiting inside with Mr. Moon for you," his secretary said as Ally walked towards her. Ally quickly thanked her and went inside the office where she saw Mark sitting behind his desk and Austin sitting on a single couch in front of it. They were both smirking at her. "Nice of you to finally show up," Austin teased quoting her from their first writing session (1). Ally glared at him as she took a seat in a similar couch across his. "I was wondering if you'd ever come," Mark chimed. "Overslept," Ally lied with a shrug. "Or you just didn't find anything to wear and had to call Trish for help," Austin laughed. She turned towards him quickly, "How did you know?" He shrugged and said, "Remember that our friends are engaged and living together. Dez told me." Ally turned to Mark, "Isn't there something we should be showing you?" Austin replied, "I already showed him the songs. You snooze you lose." Ally glared at him, "I wasn't asking you. Anyway, what did you think of them?" Austin straightened up and got serious to hear Mark's response for the first time.

"I have to say, I didn't expect you two to write such deep love songs together, but I'm glad you did. I'm also glad that you are now getting along because guess what? Your album is going to be recorded!" Mark exclaimed. Ally stood up with happiness and said, "Thank you so much! This is gonna be amazing!" Austin laughed with happiness as well as he shook Mark's hand furiously, "Thank you so much, Mark! We promise we won't late you down." Mark laughed, "You better not. I'll see you in the studio on Monday." Austin asked, "Who's gonna be our sound engineer?" Mark replied, "Do you want him to be Dez?" Austin nodded immediately. Ally was surprised that Dez was Austin's sound engineer. 'Maybe that's how they met,' Ally thought. Austin and Ally exited the office and stopped outside the door. Ally hugged him tightly and whispered, "I can't believe this is actually happening." Austin hugged her back and buried his face in her neck, "I know right? Although I think if we still hated each other, we'd be shooting each other by now." Ally laughed as they broke the hug and resumed their walk to Austin's car. Ally checked her phone for the text she got earlier and her blood ran cold.

Check your mailbox. -Scott

"Are you okay?" Austin asked noticing her fright. "Y-yeah, it's just someone telling me to check my mailbox," Ally said. "So, where are you taking me?" she said changing the subject. "That is a surprise," he smirked. They left the studio and went into his car, Austin opened the door for Ally of course. "Dez is a sound engineer?" Ally asked as he drove. "Yeah, he can sing too. I sometimes record my songs with him and our other friend, Elliot, in it," he replied. "So you're in a band with him and Elliot?" Ally asked. "I guess you could call us that. I do sing solo in most of my songs, but some of them, we sing them as a band," he informed.

"Are you only 3 in the band?" she inquired. "We're actually four. Me, Dez, Elliot, and the other best friend, Ryder," he said. "How come I've never seen them?" Ally said. "We're actually on a break. Dez and Elliot wanted to study, Ryder needed a break, and I'm here, still singing outside the band. We're supposed to reform our band next January," Austin replied. Ally nodded, "Sounds exciting. I guess I'll meet them at the wedding." Austin smiled, "You'll meet them a lot sooner. They'll be in Miami as well this summer for the wedding planning. You'll meet them there, as well as Cassidy and Kira." Ally turned to him, "Who's Kira?" Austin said, "Ryder's girlfriend and Cassidy's best friend." Ally smiled to herself, "This summer is gonna be awesome. My parents are actually planning an entire month where we'll stay at the farm. They told me to invite my friends and yours." He replied, "Really? Do they know that we're going on a date?" Ally blushed, "I might have told them that we're dating because they were bugging me about my love life." Austin smirked, "You are flying into this relationship." She laughed and shook her head.

"Where are we going?" she asked again. "We're going to- damn, you almost got me," he said. Ally laughed, "It was worth a shot." Austin suddenly parked the car in the middle of nowhere. "Austin…" Ally trailed off in fear, "where are we?" Austin unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to her, "Relax, don't be scared. I'm not kidnapping you. This is our date." Ally looked around her at the trees, "Seriously?" He chuckled and got out of the car. He opened her door for her and Ally got out. She noticed that he was holding a picnic basket and blanket in his hand. She could hear waves crashing so she knew they were close to the beach. "Come on, we have a walk ahead of us," Austin took her hand and let her to their destination. Ally held on to his hand fearfully as they walked between the trees. "So I learned something new about you today. You are easily scared," he said. "I'm not usually scared easily, but when you put me in the middle of nowhere with no cell service or civilization, I'm freaked out," she responded.

"But I also learned something new about you today. You're good at keeping secrets," Ally continued. Austin chuckled as he led her into a wide opening. They were at a very secluded part of a beach where there was an abandoned light house. Trees completely surrounded the place for more privacy. "Woah," Ally said as she admired the area. "Is this okay?" she heard him ask. She turned towards him and nodded furiously. "You should've trusted me," he teased. He walked ahead of her and set the blanket and basket down. He set the place up and then came to stand in front of her, "Ms. Dawson, your table, or blanket, is set. Would you like me to usher you?" Ally linked her arm with his and smiled as he led her to sit on the blanket. He sat down in front of her and propped his knee up and rest his arm on it while leaning on the other one. He started taking food out of the basket. Ally smiled at his choice of food; it was simple but perfect. "I hope you like it. I chose this place for privacy, no paparazzi," he said. She smiled and said, "This is perfect. Thank you, Austin." They smiled at each other as they started eating and talking.

Several hours later, they were sitting on the top of the lighthouse staring at the sunset. Austin was leaning against the wall with his knees propped up. Ally sat between his legs as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind. Ally leaned into his chest while they looked at the beautiful sun sinking into the sparkling ocean. "It's so beautiful," she muttered. But Austin wasn't looking at the sunset but at her as he mumbled, "Yeah, very beautiful." They sat in comfortable silence. A while later, Ally changed their position so that she was sitting in front of him. The sun was gone and only the moon illuminated their features.

"Ally?" he asked. "Yeah?" she smiled. "That was Scott who texted you earlier, right?" he said. Her smile dropped as she looked down, "Uh, y-yeah." He put his hand under her chin and forced to look into his eyes, "What did he tell you?" She replied, "He told me to check my mailbox. I don't why he would want me to check it." His features turned stern as he spoke, "I'll drop you off at your house tonight and we'll check your entire house, including the mailbox." Ally asked, "What about my car? It's at the studio." He nodded, "I'll pick you up on Monday and go there. You can get it then." Ally wrapped him in a tight hug.

Later that night…

Austin parked in front of her house and turned to face her, "Today was amazing." Ally nodded with a smile, "I agree. We had so much fun. Thank you for this date." He smiled before speaking a bit nervously, "S-so, I've been wanting to ask you this all night, and I think now's the time." Ally nodded for him to continue. "Will you be my girlfriend, Princess?" he asked. Ally laughed at the old nickname, "I would love to, but just one thing." He looked at her with a concerned expression. "I just got out of a bad 2 year relationship, and I'm not ready to jump right into one. We need to take this slow, okay?" she said. He smiled, "We'll take this at whatever pace you're comfortable with." He ended the moment when he got out of the car and opened the door for her to get out. They checked her mailbox and found a letter in it… from him.

Ally welcomed into her house to inspect the letter even more. Austin tore the letter and poured its contents on the coffee table. Ally gasped at what she saw. Pictures of her and Austin during their writing sessions scattered across the coffee table. "H-how did he get into the studio?" she stuttered in shock. Austin looked mad, "We're not recording in the same room. And we're ensuring more security on who gets in and out." Ally nodded before muttering angrily, "That son of a bitch just won't leave me." He looked at her and took her hands in his, "You'll be okay. Everything's gonna be okay." Ally smiled at his effort to make her feel better. After inspecting the whole house so that they were sure it was safe, they were finally separating for the night.

"I'll see you on Monday, I guess," he said. "I'm spending tomorrow with Trish, we haven't hung out in a long time. And I have a photo shoot on Saturday," Ally informed, "so we can't really meet up this weekend." He nodded, "It's okay." They hugged each other tightly. They broke the hug but kept their arms around each other. "Ally," he whispered. Ally nodded at him to continue as they leaned in. 'We're not stopping this time,' he thought as he crashed his lips with hers in a deep, passionate kiss. They both saw fireworks and felt the sparks. "Woah," she said as they separated. "Slow enough?" he asked. "Perfect," she smiled. A while later, he left. 'This is going to be amazing,' Ally thought. They were both sure that it was going to be incredible. Extremely incredible.
