I'm writing this because I just randomly thought of the idea and my little bro just helped me add on to it! I'm so proud of him! :,) he has to live with me going on and on about Auslly all the time and I think I'm finally rubbing off on him. *Happy Sobs*
I realized that many people have written a story like this, but hopefully mine is a little different. The plot's a little different as well.
Hope you like it! It is a Two-Shot! It's a little different from what they actually say in the episode and it ends differently.
I do not own Austin & Ally.
This is probably my longest chapter for any story!
*This takes place right when Ally tells the rest of the team that she's leaving for New York*
Part I
Austin's POV~
"Hey Ally," Trish, Dez and I strolled into the practice room. When I walked in, she was sitting on the piano bench and she turned to face us. Something about her face was off. Her eyes were sad. "What did you want us here for? Are you alright?"
"Uh, guys, I-" She struggled to say. "I just wrote a new song and I need to listen to it." She turned and faced the piano keys.
I guess I was worried for nothing. "Okay, let's hear it."
"I'm leaving for school," Ally began to sing. Okay, don't really like the involvement of school, but I'm sure we can fix that later. "I'm going far away. You're career's just about to start and I'm sad I have to depart." She stopped playing.
"Wow, kind of a downer." I admitted. "But it's alright, we'll fix it." She put on a confused look.
"I don't really think that you're getting the point," She slowly stands up. "Austin, can you sing the rest?"
"Sure." I replaced Ally's spot and laid my hand on the keys. "Who knows how long I'll be gone. I'm so sad I can barely speak. Gonna miss you Austin, Dez and Trish. I'm leaving for New York in a week." That's when I stopped. "P-Please tell me that this is just a song. Please tell me it's not true."
"The music school's in New York," Those words slowly escaped Ally's mouth and I felt my heart stop. Was she being serious?
"I didn't know it was in New York!" I cried out, getting up from the piano bench. I could feel my eyes start to water, but I held it back. "A-Ally, you-you can't be serious?"
"I wish I was." Ally practically whispered. She began to sob.
"Guys, who could you not know not no that MUNY was in New York?" Dez questioned me and Trish. I turned to him, almost furious. "Music University of New York? It practically told you straight forward."
"You knew?" I asked.
"I'm not stupid." Dez defended. I stepped towards him.
"Yeah, you are stupid!" I shouted. "For not telling us!" Dez backed up in fear.
"Austin, calm down." Ally requested, she gently grasped my arm. I spun around.
"How could you have not told us earlier?" I demanded. Ally looked at me, hurt.
"I figured you knew! And that if I got accepted, you would all be supportive." She snapped back. I instantly felt guilty for blowing my top.
"Ally, I-I'm sorry." I apologized. Her face relaxed and she smiled at me.
"I'm sorry, too, Ally." Trish stepped forward. "You're going to call the school and you're not going, right?"
"I-I wish I could," Ally answered. "B-But I've been dreaming of this for half of my life. The first time I blew it. This. This is my second chance. I just can't give up my dream like this."
"It'd be nice if you did, though," Dez said scratching the back of his neck. Trish nodded in agreement. Me on the other hand, haven't said anything.
"You haven't said anything in a while, Austin." Ally had noticed my silence. "What do you think about this? Or do you agree with Trish and Dez?"
"Ally, I-I," I stuttered. She continued to wait. I finally gave up. "You can't go, Ally. I know you want to go, but we really need you here! If we had known that it was in New York, we wouldn't have sent in that audition."
"Unbelievable! I-I can't believe this!" Ally started forming tears in her eyes. "You guys are all being so selfish! You just want me here for Austin's career, not because you'll miss me! Austin, you of all people, I thought you-" She stopped. "You know, what? Forget it! I'm going to New York and nothing you guys do will stop me. Some best friends you guys are." And with that she stomped out of the room, wiping her cheeks in the process.
Later in the food court…
"You should've told her, buddy." Dez informed me. He patted my back. I stared off into the direction of Sonic Boom.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said. He and Trish gave me a 'You're not fooling me' look. "But if I did, I don't think it would've made a difference, Dez." I "And even if it did, I don't want to give up her dream just to help me continue mine. She'd hate me more than she does now, if I had told her that later on and made her regret it."
"Austin's right, Dez." Trish said, sadly. "We can't hold her back."
"Look, guys, if we cared about Ally Dawson," He looked at me. "And I know you care about her a lot, Austin, even when you don't admit it. We as her best friends, need to push aside those feelings and let her go so that she can soar." He pretended that his hands were birds and he flapped them over his head.
"Wow, Dez, that's really smart." We gasped at his sudden insight.
"Thanks, I have my moments." Dez beamed. I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, we've got to get ready for the release party. And you both know, it doesn't take 2 hours to get my hair perfectly the way I want it." Trish sighed and got up.
"But what are we going to do about Ally? How will we apologize to her?" I asked.
"Dez, find all the videos you have that have Ally in it, and put them all in a video. Then Austin, you sing a song to her. A song that she hasn't heard before."
"But Trish, I can't write a song." I reminded her.
"I know you'll think of something." Trish reassured me. I sighed and nodded. "Great, now I need to get home."
"Wait!" I hollered.
"What now? Do I have to do everything?" She groaned.
"How do we know that she will even show up? She is pretty upset with us." I quietly said. Trish tapped her foot on the ground.
"Leave that to me. I'll make sure she comes." Trish reassured us. Dez and I nodded as we watched her exit the food court.
"Okay, I gotta get home and look for videos so Miss Bossy-" Dez got cut off.
"I heard that!" Trish's voice boomed. Dez and I both jumped. How did she hear that?
"She scares me sometimes." He confessed. "I gotta find some videos."
"Wait, how am I supposed to come up with a song by 8 tonight? And it's already 2:30." I checked my phone.
"Buddy, this is Ally we're talking about. If you're going to come up with a song for her, it'll be easy as toasting toast." Then he took out a piece of toast from his backpack. "Mmm, I love toast. Well, bye!" After that, I was left alone sitting in the food court.
I went home when it was 2:40. I needed to get started on that song. Who knows how long it will be before I come up with just one lyric. I opened my front door and my mom came strolling in from the kitchen.
"Hey, sweetie. Do you want some pancakes?" She asked, kindly. I shook my head.
"Not right now, Mom. But thanks." I brushed past her and glanced into our living room.
"What's wrong, Austin? You've never turned down pancakes before." My dad paused his documentary and turned to me.
"Nothing. I gotta get working on something. I'll come down later if I decide to take a break." I sighed and trudged upstairs. I locked myself in my room and began to write down possible lyrics. All of which stuck worse than a skunk's spray in hot July. "Ugh! Why does Ally make it look so easy!?"
"Austin, honey, who are you yelling at?" My mother peaked in.
"Myself. I can't write a decent song!" I scolded myself. She entered the room and sat at the foot of my bed.
"These aren't so bad." She unwrinkled a piece of paper.
"Yeah, but they're not great! It has to be perfect, Mom." I informed her. She laughed a little bit.
"May I ask why? And why don't you ask Ally for help? I'm sure she'd love to help you." She suggested. I shook my head.
"No, the song is for her. And even if I asked, she'd say no because she's mad at me, Trish and Dez." I told her. She gets a confused look.
"Why is she mad, sweetie?"
"Because, she told us that she got accepted to MUNY," I started.
"That's fantastic! Didn't you, Trish, and Dez send an application for her?" I nodded. "Then I don't see a reason for her to be mad at you."
"The thing is, we practically told her not to go, though." I recalled.
"How come?"
"We told her that we needed her to stay here. For Team Austin. And then she got mad." I said. My mom rubbed my back.
"Sweetie, I know I'm probably the last person to tell you this, but Ally has her own dreams she wants to accomplish. Sure, she's helped you out the most and you really need her to further your career, but you also need to show her that you're grateful for the things she's done for you. Show her that you know about her dreams as well as she knows yours. I know you've only known each other for about a year, but from what I've seen, you two are the closest best friends in the entire world. You practically spend everyday with her. I can see that she really cares about her friends, especially you," She pointed to me. "But you need to let her know that you care about her, too. Let her follow her dreams. And you've heard that saying, if you love something, let it go, right?"
"Yeah," I said. My mom smiles at me.
"Well, they also say that if it's meant to be yours, it will come back to you. Ally will come back, Austin. She cares too much about the friendship you all have."
"You're right, Mom." I admitted. "I have to let Ally go after her dreams. Ally helped me get my dream. There would've been no way I could've come this far without her. That's it!" I exclaimed.
"What's it, Austin?" My mom looked at me.
"That's the song I'm going to write!" I explained to her. She smiled and nodded.
"Well, there you go! I'm going to leave you to it. You'd better hurry if you want to make it in time for that CD release of yours." She joked. I laughed and hugged her.
"Thank you, Mom." She kissed my forehead and headed back downstairs. When she had gone, I grabbed a new clean sheet of paper and wrote down every lyric that came to my mind.
A Few Hours Later…
No One's POV-
"Dez, have you seen Austin yet?" Trish asked the red-head, who was fiddling with the video player in the lounge where the party was held at. "It's almost time for him to perform."
"I haven't seen him yet. Is Ally here?" He answered. Trish nodded.
"Yeah, she's over there talking with her dad." She pointed to Ally on the other side of the room, chatting with Mr. Dawson. She was wearing a silver, sparkly one shoulder dress. "Dez, what if Austin didn't finish the song?"
"Relax, he did. He texted me earlier and said that it was done." He reassured the petite Latina.
"Okay, okay. I just need to calm down. Did you put together a video?" Trish questioned. Dez nodded. He pointed to projector.
"I've already got it set. Austin's going to sing the song while it's playing." He explained.
"Alright, welcome everybody to the Austin Moon Album release party!" Jimmy announced into a microphone. The whole room roared in applause. "Okay, we're going to start this party, if only the main guest of honor was here. Has anyone seen Austin?"
The room lingered in gasps and whispers. Dez glanced at Trish and she was biting her nails anxiously. Ally herself looked a bit worried. Where was Austin?
"I'm here! I'm here!" Austin's voice echoed above the noise and he ran over to the stage with his guitar. He hopped on and everyone in the crowd was cheering, even Ally even had a smile on her face. Austin scanned the crowd until he met Dez's and Trish's gaze. They motioned over to where Ally was and his eyes followed it. Once he had looked over to her, their eyes had locked.
The crowd had continued to cheer and the two partners smiled widely at each other.
"Okay, now that Austin's here, lets-" Austin interrupted Jimmy's speech.
"Wait!" Everyone turned their attention to him. "I know that this party is for me and my new CD, but this is also a going away for my best friend and partner, Ally Dawson. She told us that she got accepted to MUNY and we as her best friends acted like we shouldn't have. But now I…I mean, we have realized that if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't be standing here right now." The audience 'awed'. Austin turned to Ally. "Ally, me, Trish and Dez have put together this to show you how much we really support you."
Dez hit 'play' and a screen dropped down and the video started rolling. Just as the first clip showed, which was of Austin, Trish and Dez holding up signs that read out, 'We'll Miss You, Ally' followed by Austin performing Heard It On the Radio, Austin strummed his acoustic guitar.
"There's no way I can make it without you, do it without you, be here without you," Austin sang softly. Behind him, the video of him and Ally dancing at Trish's quinceñera. Austin spun her around and her red dress flowed out and came back in as he dipped her. Luckily, the scene changed just before Trish's mom blew the blow horn in Austin's ear, causing him to drop Ally.
"It's no fun when you're doing a solo," Next, a video of Austin and Ally sitting on the piano in the practice room. Since the bench was quite small, their arms were over lapping each other. As Ally tried to reach over Austin, she playfully nudged him with her shoulder. Austin smiled and repeated the same action only to her. Being the weak person she is, Ally almost flies off the bench.
"With you it's like, whoa. Yeah, and I know, I" He extended the 'I' in various keys. The following clip was of Team Austin in the practice room in Trish's crazy headbands that she wears each time she has a new job. Trish was wearing the one where she worked in the pasta shop, Ally had the headband from when she worked at Melody Diner, Austin had the one from Megaphone World, and Dez wore the one when she worked the cart for Scoop! There It Is. Overall, it just showed how the four best friends loved hanging out together.
"Own this dream," Austin finished the line. Dez had taken a clip from Austin's web cast of him singing their 'new' song, It's Me, It's You. Austin had wrapped his arm around Ally and they danced together, until Ally had realized that Dez was filming her and she scurried behind Austin. "Cause I got you with me." Austin returned his eye contact with Ally. She was smiling and was on the verge of tears.
"There's no way I can make without you(1)," The scene changed to the three who created the idea, waving to the camera, and then to the end of Austin's performance of A Billion Hits and Ally giving him a thumbs up. "Do it without you, be here without you." The last clip was of Austin, Trish and Dez on the Sonic Boom stair case again holding their 'We'll Miss You, Ally' signs. Austin had strummed the remaining chords of his song to her. Once the music had died down and the screen lifted, everyone in the audience cheered.
Austin kept his contact with Ally and smiled. And she gladly returned one to him. Jimmy walked up in front of the stage and held the microphone up to his mouth.
"Wow, that was touching." Something about his tone made it seem like he didn't really care. "Now, can we get back to the party I paid for?"
"Hold on," Austin spoke up. Jimmy rolled his eyes and stepped aside. "Ally, I'm really sorry for the way I acted. I-I just didn't want to lose my best friend. You mean more to me than you could ever know. You're not just my partner, but you're also one of the most important people in my life…and I've realized that considering how supportive you've been with my dream, that I'm going to be twice as supportive to you. Go rock their socks up in New York. Show the world that you're the one and only Ally Dawson."
Again, the crowd cooed. Ally ran up to Austin, knocking him down in a bone crushing hug.
"Thank you, Austin. What you just said meant a lot." She whispered in his ear. The two got up and Ally took the mic from Jimmy. "And thank you to Trish and Dez who are also so supportive of me. I love you guys."
The rest of the night went according to Jimmy's intentions. Austin performed another song, a brand new song, called Illusion, only this time it was written along side Ally.
"Thank you everyone for coming today!" Jimmy announced again. Everyone cheered. "Drive home safely!" Austin shook Jimmy's hand and he turned to go home.
"Austin, wait," Ally pushed through the crowd and jogged over to him.
"Yeah, Alls?" For the second time today, she embraces him.
"Thank you." She whispered into his ear
"For what, Alls? You've already said thank you before." Austin chuckled. She shook her head.
"No, for showing me that you really do care. I just thought you guys were using me for my songs-"
"Ally, I could never do that to you." Austin said, honestly and looked into her eyes.
"God, I'm going to miss you…and Trish and Dez… so much." She started tearing up. He wiped away the fallen ones with his thumb.
"Hey," Austin shushed her. "We'll see each other again. Trust me. I'll make sure of it."
Ally hugged him again and he could feel tears of his own threatening to fall, so he let them.
A week later…
Austin's POV-
Today was the day that Ally's leaving. I woke up in a mood because I didn't want her to go, but I had to let her follow her dreams. I can't hold her back.
"Good morning, Austin." My mother greeted me as I walked into the kitchen.
"Hi," I replied shortly.
"Is today the day that Ally leaves?" My dad asked. I sighed.
"Yeah." I took a sudden interest to my shoes.
"You should get her something to remember you by." My mom suggested. I looked up.
"That's a great idea, Mom! Thank you!" I got up and kissed her cheek. I patted my dad's shoulder and headed off to the mall.
"What am I going to get for Ally?" I asked myself, wandering around the mall. I passed dozens of stores but nothing. Ally's plane leaves at 5. It's 11:30, so I need something fast. That's when I see it. A silver necklace on the display of Diamonds Galore. It had an 'A' charm along with a miniature black music note on the upper right hand corner. "It's perfect!"
"Welcome to Diamonds Galore. How may I-Austin?" Trish said as she sees me entering the store. "What are you doing here?"
"I want to buy something for Ally. Before she leaves." I informed her. She nodded. I told her that I wanted to buy the one on the window display and she hurried off to get it, so then after that she could quit. She then wrapped it into a box and handed it to me. I told her that I would see her later at Ally's house to say final goodbyes.
I got home and took a quick shower to freshen up and got dressed. I wore my gray collared button down, a plain white t-shirt underneath and my red pants. (Think of his outfit in Back-Ups and Break-Ups when he and Ally were talking at Mini's)
"Austin, it's 2:30! You better hurry if you want to help Ally with her things!" I heard my dad's voice up the stairs.
"I'm coming!" I hollered back. I jogged down the stairs and headed out the door. Dez was waiting for me outside with his mom in her car. She dropped us off at Ally's and once we got inside, we found out that Trish was already there.
"Hey guys!" Ally walked over to us and hugged us both. "Glad you could make it!"
"We wouldn't miss it for the world." Dez exclaimed. She laughed. For the next hour, we just chatted about how we'd all keep in touch. We figured to do video chats and text and also call each other as much as possible.
"Guys, let's promise, no matter how long it takes, or whatever happens in the future, we'd always come back and be Team Austin." I suggested. They all nodded and we hugged each other tightly.
"It's almost time to go, honey," Ally's dad informed us. All of our faces dropped suddenly. "Kids, I know it's going to be tough, but you will see each other again."
"Thanks, Mr. Dawson." Trish, Dez and I said in unison.
"For what?" He asked.
"For having Ally go to the same preschool as me and be my bestest friend in the entire world." Ally hugged Trish.
"For sharing her with us." Dez said. Ally sent him a grateful smile and hugged him next.
"For raising such a talent, beautiful, kind, and just pure amazing daughter." I let out. Ally then bursts into tears as she ran over to me. I wrapped my arms around her and I never wanted to let go. Eventually, I had to. She had a plane to catch. After helping her load her luggage into her dad's car, Team Austin had one final hug and we wished her the best.
Mr. Dawson started the car and began to drive off. Not long, Ally stuck her head out the window and waved to us. We waved back.
"Austin," Trish gained my attention. "Did you give her the necklace?"
"SHIT!" I yelled. I had completely forgotten all about it! It was in my back pocket. "How could I have forgotten?!"
"It's okay, Austin. We'll just take the bus-" Trish was cut of by me.
"No, we can't wait. I need to go!" I started sprinting after their car with Dez and Trish running behind me, telling me to wait up. I gave up and decided to call a taxi.
"Where to?" The driver asked as Trish, Dez and I climbed into the car.
"Miami airport please, and fast." I ordered.
"Hey, aren't you-"
"Yes, I am Austin Moon. Look, this is really important. Can we get going? I'll give you an autograph or something. I just really need to get to the airport." I begged.
"You got it!" Then his foot hit the gas pedal and we were off to the airport.
Once there, I sighed a picture of me and handed it to him, along with a CD. I raced inside, went passed security and ran to Ally's gate. People were already boarding the plane. I almost thought I was too late, until I see my favorite brunette in the entire world.
"Ally!" I called out her name. She froze and spun around.
"Austin!" She gasped. "What are you doing here?"
"I forgot to give you this." I pulled out the box out of my pocket. She looked at me questioningly.
"What is it?" She asked, slowly opening it. Once she did, her eyes widened and she gasped again.
"It's something to remember me by." I took it out of the box and put it on her.
"Oh, Austin, it's just beautiful!" She gushed.
"Ally, there's something I've been meaning to tell you." I started. "Ally, I-"
"FLIGHT 463 to New York is about to depart. Any final passengers wishing to attend to the flight, must board now." A female voice said over the intercom.
"That's my cue." Ally picked up her carryon. "I'll see you soon?"
"Yeah, but Ally, I-"
"I really have to go, Austin." She cut me off. Ally leaned up and kissed my cheek. "Bye, for now." And with that, she disappeared into the tunnel. I waited in that spot. She had kissed my cheek. I smiled and touched the hot spot. I walked over to the window and stared at the plane. Once I started moving, I had seen Ally. She had a window seat. She smiled and waved to me. I chuckled and waved back.
"I love you, Ally."
To Be Continued…
Now just because Ally left, doesn't mean that this story is over. There's more to come.
Will Ally find out how Austin feels? Can they keep in touch? More importantly, will they meet again? Find out in Part II!
(1) was anyone else thinking of where Austin got that song? they never said that they wrote it together, so where did it come from? Unfortunately, I do not own it anyways.
It will be up soon, maybe tomorrow or Thursday! Tell me if you want me to continue! Review/favorite/follow
