Austin And Ally: Road Trip Madness! DISCONTINUED

Texts & Takes

Ally glanced at her friends before getting up to see who was at the door. She opened the door to see a little girl and a couple. The little girl hid behind her parents and the woman said, "My daughter is a big fan of you and Austin. She saw the bus and made us come here to get an autograph. Is that okay?"

"Oh, of course!" Ally said, grinning. "Let me get Austin and a pen and we'll be right out."

Ally turned around and motioned to Austin. "There's a fan out there. She wants an autograph."

Austin nodded, smiling, and grabbed a pen. Ally and Austin stepped outside of the bus and approached the family of three. "Hi sweetheart," Ally said, bending down to eye level for the little girl. 

"Hello," the little girl said timidly.

"What's your name?" Austin asked, bending down as well.

"Claire," the little girl replied. 

"That's my favorite name!" Austin said, making the girl grin toothily.

"Really?" Claire asked.

"Of course," Austin told her, smiling.

The little girl grinned even wider. "Can I ask you a question?" she asked.

"Go ahead," Ally told her.

"You guys are my heroes," Claire said. "Who are yours?"

Austin and Ally looked at each other, surprised. Ally wiped her eyes, trying not to cry in front of the little girl. "You are," Ally said. "You are my hero. This is why we do this, for kids like you."

Austin wrapped his arm around Ally, saying, "All of our fans are my heroes because they love me for what I do best."

Claire smiled. "You wanna take our pictures?" Ally asked Claire's mother.

"Of course."

Austin and Ally smiled up at the camera with Claire in between them. "Say cheese!" the mother said. 

"Cheese!" Ally and Claire said while Austin said, "Pancakes!"

"Bye bye!" Claire said to them as she started walking away. 

"Thank you so much," the mother said. "She has wanted to see you two since you two became a duo."

"You're welcome," Ally said. "You have an amazing daughter."

"We know," the father said and they grinned. Austin and Ally walked back inside the bus and told them all what the little girl said.

"That's so sweet!" Trish said, touching her heart.

"I know!" Ally said. "I love little kids."

"Especially if they are our fans," Austin said.

"Do I have fans?" Dez asked.

"Of course!" Austin said.

"Oh, I know," Dez said grinning. "I just wanted someone to say that I do."

"I want fans," Alex complained.

"You have fans," Trish said and Ally nodded. "Us."

"You guys don't count," Ava said. 

"We are your biggest fans and forever will be," Austin said. 

Ally nodded to that as well. Her phone vibrated in her hand and she checked it. "Hey guys, can I talk to you alone for a second?" she asked. 

"Kids, go do something outside with Ally's father," Trish said. The kids ran outside, leaving their parents alone.

"What is it?" Austin asked. 

"I got a new text from that person," Ally replied. 

Unknown ~ 8:52 a.m.
I see you were giving a fan an autograph. How nice but you won't be able to do that for long

Ally Moon ~ 8:53 a.m.
Will you stop?! I don't even know who you are!

Unknown ~ 8:53 a.m.
You will soon enough. Something very important will be taken from you and you will get it back ONLY IF you give me Austin. Then, everything will be okay

Ally looked up at her husband, the love of her life. "What does it say?" Austin asked. 

"It says that this person would take something important from me if I don't stay away from you. I will have to give you to that person to get the important thing back," Ally told him.

Austin wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "It's gonna be okay," he said. "They are just a hater."

"But what if they actually do this?" Ally asked. 

"I'm sure they won't," Trish said. 

"If they do, the mighty Dez will save the day," Dez said. 

Trish rolled her eyes. "No you won't. The police would," Trish said. 

"I don't want anything to happen to us," Ally said worriedly. "What if they take our kids?"

"I'm sure they won't," Austin said. "That's kidnapping."

"You don't think they would go that far?" Trish asked.

"They could," Dez said. "We'll have to keep a close eye on them."

"Keep a close eye on them?" Ally said. "They're outside. I don't think that's keeping a close eye on them."

"They are with Lester," Austin said, "I think they'll be fine."

"Yeah."

Ally, Austin, Trish, and Dez nodded all at once. They erupted in giggles. "Ah I missed this," Ally said. "Not having a care in the world, just being here with you three."

They shared a smile, all thinking about when they were younger. Suddenly, they heard a scream from outside. "What was that?" Ally asked.

"It could be a fan so excited to meet me," Dez said.

"We better go check," Trish said. 

They walked to the front of the bus and Austin opened the door. He found Lester on the ground and the kids nowhere to be seen.
