'THIS IS TO BE AN ENTRY IN AUSTIN & ALLY WIKI'S FANFICTION CONTEST FOR SUMMER! VOTE PLEASE! :D'

This story is titled "The Friend Zone". It takes place in one of my two Alternate Universes (this one being the Unexpected universe, where Austin kisses Ally during Successes & Setbacks). Specifically, it takes place before my story "Unexpected" (read it on fanfiction.net :P). Which means before Successes & Setbacks.

 Chapter 1  Posted July 9th, 2014.

Austin's POV (A/N: The entire story will probably be in his POV. I'll specify if not.)

I'm Austin Moon. Famous internet sensation from Miami, Florida. Well, not quite so famous yet... Most of my gigs are local, and although I post videos, it's still not much. But I'm not complaining. I have a great life.

My parents own a mattress store. Sure, it's weird, but it supplies us with quite a bit of money. Who knew so many people in Florida have sleep issues?

I'm a bit of a high school heartthrob. It's kinda an effect of the whole internet sensation stuff, but nearly every girl in school has some sort of crush on me. It gets annoying sometimes, but typically it's pretty cool.

And best of all, I have the greatest friends in the world. Dez, my best friend since forever (BFF is too girly, I think, and BFSF isn't as catchy) is also my director. He's goofy and makes me laugh. Plus, he understands pretty much everything about me.

Trish De la Rosa is my manager. Although I haven't known her very long and she's a little bossy, she's there when I need her and is probably the best manager under the age of 18 (although I'm not sure how many of those there are). She's overall a great friend.

And then there's Ally Dawson. My partner and best friend. She's sweet, funny, and a bit dorky. She's forgiving too- I stole her song (by accident!) but she still forgave me. That's actually how we became friends. She's the most important thing to my career. Without her I wouldn't have any songs to perform. I can't imagine my life without her. And, uh, no. I don't like her.

Alright fine, maybe a little. But with a friendship like this, why would I ever try to ruin it with stupid romance? Since when could a guy and girl not be friends and nothing more? Plus, it's not like she likes me back. I actually thought she did at one point, but it turns out she has a crush on this kid named Dallas. Who's actually really nice. I like them together.

Well, I did. Until recently. That's the other thing about romance. Apparently, when you get a date, you have to spend every single waking moment of the day flirting with them. And none of it talking to your friends. And no, I'm not jealous.

It's not like I dislike Dallas. He's actually a really nice kid, and we get along really well and share a lot of similarities (which is why I thought she liked me). We both like horror movies and video games, among other things. Actually, I think he shares more similarities with me than he does with Ally. Although there's that whole "opposites attract" thing. And they are both in love with The Fault In Our Stars. So most of the time their flirting is that "Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay." scene. Which is not only kinda annoying, but extremely repetitive. Yay.

So, yeah. My life is great, but it has its flaws. Mainly involving my unfortunately existant love life. But I still can't complain. For a 15 year-old in Miami, Florida, it's one of the best lives you can have. I'm an internet sensation-slash-high school heartthrob, for crying out loud. How much better can you get?

End Chapter 1!

So, this was more of a prologue. But I think it gives a nice sense of what I'm going for.

I'm actually avoiding too much romance. Partially because I need Austin and Ally to be nothing more than friends in time for Unexpected to come around, lol. But also because I want to appeal to our non-Auslly shipping audience... and I'm tired of writing flat-out love stories. Sue me.
