"I feel bad that Jace had to get arrested," Trish said while they were driving away. 

"Oh, he didn't," Austin said. "I talked with the officers and they said they would release him. He just got a big talking to from his bosses." 

"Really?" Ally said. "Was it before the performance?" 

"Yeah, why?"

"You told me you had to go to the bathroom!" 

"Oops," he said, grinning. "And be quiet Ally. Our kids are trying to sleep, remember?"

"Oops," she said mimicking him. What they didn't know was that the kids were wide awake, talking. 

"That was AMAZING!" Ava said.

"Be quiet!" Alex scolded his sister. "Do you want them to hear us?"

"Sorry." 

"The roller coasters were okay," Darrie said. "I had much more fun doing the math for how fast they went."

"How could you do that?" Magnolia Rose asked. 

"Oh, it's easy," he said, nodding. "You just-"

"Don't want to hear it," the three other children said. Darrie just pouted and said, "You guys get to talk about music and drawing, but I can't talk about everything I know?" 

"Sorry buddy," Alex said. 

Darrie just shook his head. "Ugh I can't go to sleep now because of how much fun we had," Ava said, grinning at her three best friends. 

Magnolia agreed. Soon, though, the four children were fast asleep.

Ally was the only one awake on the tour bus late that night. She was busy writing a new song. She hummed along to what she had as she wrote in her songbook. "I like this," she whispered. She'll have to show it to Austin in the morning. Hopefully he will like it. 

She shut her songbook and leaned her head back, sighing. She was tired and it was 2:52 a.m. but she couldn't fall asleep. She got her phone out and was searching through Tweeter when she got a text. 

Unknown ~ 2:53 a.m.
Hello Ally. 

Another text popped up.

Unknown ~ 2:54 a.m.
Watch your back, Ally. You won't know what will happen if you do the wrong thing. All you got to do is stay away from Austin.

This is when Ally responded.

Ally Moon ~ 2:55 a.m.
Who are you? And why can't I be close to my husband?

Unknown ~ 2:55 a.m.
I'm someone you met before. Now, you better get to sleep, huh? You've been up too late on that tour bus of yours. Bye Ally. And beware, you might lose something precious to you if you don't listen to me.

Ally stared in horror at her phone. What was that? She was pretty sure she heard a noise outside the tour bus but she wasn't sure. She stared at her phone for a few more seconds before setting it down on the table. "Maybe I should go to bed," she whispered to herself. 

She walked over to the bed her and Austin shared. Ally sat down on the side of it, making Austin grunt. She laid down next to him, getting under the covers as Austin said, "Pancakes?"

"Go back to sleep, sweetheart," Ally whispered to her husband. He did just that. Ally laid in bed, thinking about what just happened. Who was texting her? And why did they want her to stay away from Austin? He mind was going a million miles a minute as she thought about what just happened. She sighed and turned on her side. She decided to tell Austin, Trish, and Dez about it in the morning--well, later in the morning.

Ally finally fell asleep. When she woke up, light was streaming through the little windows. She looked around to see Austin coming toward her with steaming pancakes. "How long were you up writing that song?" he asked her as he sat down on the edge of the bed. 

"About three in the morning," Ally replied. 

"Babe, that's not good," Austin said. 

"I know," Ally murmured. "Can you get Trish and Dez in here?"

"Sure," Austin said, looking a little confused. He left and came back a minute later with Trish and Dez following. 

"What's up?" Trish asked, plopping down on their bed. 

"Well, I was up late writing a new song and I got these strange texts." Ally gave Austin her phone and he passed it on to his friends after he read it. 

"That is weird," Austin said, frowning. 

"Yeah," Trish said. 

"Is someone stalking us?" Dez asked. "Or do we have fans?"

"Fans wouldn't stalk us," Trish said, glaring at Dez. 

"You sure?" Austin said. "I mean, I'm pretty hot, if I do say so myself, and all the fangirls love me."

"I don't know," Ally said. "I feel like it isn't our fans. What fan would say that?"

"Plenty fans don't like you," Austin said. "They might not like you because you are with me, and like I said, all the ladies love me." 

"Who wouldn't like Ally?" Dez said. "She's . . . I got nothing."

"She is talented, pretty-" Trish said, but was interrupted by Austin. 

"Gorgeous." He nodded as Ally kissed his cheek. 

Ally grinned slightly before looking back at her phone. "I don't know why someone would say this to me. And how would they have my number?" she asked. 

"That is a really good question," Trish said. 

Dez stroked an imaginary beard as he thought. "I got nothing." They laughed at Dez.

"MOM!" they heard a kid yell. The adults ran into the other part of the bus to find the four kids sitting around the table. "Woah, what is it with you guys? We just wanted to tell you we are hungry." 

"Oh, okay." Ally got pans out and started making pancakes. 

"Yum!" Alex said after he took a bite. "Thanks Mom!"

Ally nodded. She was still thinking about the texts. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
