"Oh my god," Ally mustered, "oh my god!"
Austin chuckled and opened his arms for another hug, which she greatly accepted.
"How did you…what happened to steamy and sticky?"
He shook his head. "I explained to Kira that it violated the very core of the lyrics, and corrupted the purity of the song," he said.
"And when that didn't work, I told her it would help me win you back, and that did it."
Ally grinned. "Really?"
"Turns out although she thought the Dalai Lama was, actually, a llama, she is quite the romantic," he said.
"Go!" Ally said. "Go sing our song."
"Please welcome Mr. Austin Moon!" Kira screamed into the stadium.
I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past I just can't seem to move on
Ally smiled as Austin grabbed the microphone, looking down from the stage at her.
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
She held a thumbs up, smiling at him prancing around at the stage, popping his collar in the process.
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
Austin whispered something in Kira's ear, and she smiled and nodded as he threw the microphone down and hopped off the stage, rushing back to Ally.
"Dessert?" he whispered, pulling her into him.
"Dinner," she smirked.
And with that, he closed the space in between them, connecting their lips again for what felt like had been an eternity, solving the unfinished puzzle.

And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end…
