A/N okay, so this is it huh? The end… It's been a great year, of writing this story through a lot of ups and downs but this story has helped me grow, I think as a writer and as a person. It's been like my own personal therapy since this story is briefly based off my life. But sadly, this is goodbye. I'm gonna be sad to see this story end and to not write these versions of Austin and Ally anymore, but I'm excited for bigger and better stories, which I do have one planned. So let's not make this too sappy, onto the short -but long awaited- final chapter of Where the Pasture Ends.

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally or anything else you might recognize.

Never once had she expected all of this to happen within such a short span of time. It was a longer time span than her mother's sudden cancer revelation, but it felt so much shorter. There were so many secrets that had been kept, it turns out her life was an episode of Desperate Housewives or Pretty Little Liars.

There hadn't been a day for months she didn't think of Austin and him trying to apologize. He had apologized more times than a cheating husbands ever would, ever. It was like pulling teeth just to get her dad to say sorry once, yet Austin did every single time he possibly said a single thing wrong until school had ended. Even if it wasn't wrong in the slightest bit.

Honestly it was kinda of annoying and cute at the same time, but mostly annoying at this point. Although no matter how much she tried, she couldn't get him to stop. She's almost had Mimi duct tape his mouth shut every morning, but she decided against it. It would be rude.

Ally wasn't rude. Well, at least she wasn't rude now.

She would definitely admit to being a Grade-A 'B' word back in Miami. But now, Austin seems to keep her nicer. Even if she's hitting him constantly… she can't help it when he's saying stupid stuff twenty-four, seven. He always deserves it.

Her life was slowly falling back into place. It felt nice. She had finally got through to her dad on how what he did was wrong, Mike even had to talk to him before he grew up and apologized. He had been convinced for some reason, that Ally was faking the whole new attitude, no matter how many times Mimi, Mike, and Austin said she wasn't.

Lester had also disapproved of her and Austin's relationship, or more so with how serious it got so fast. He didn't like his little girl growing up. Even if she was going to be an adult the next year. Once she was gone and out, there's no longer a blood attachment to Penny, and he honestly doesn't know if he can handle it.

Thankfully though there wasn't another year until she even graduates, he has time to grow used to the idea of her being gone. Her being gone with Austin though… now that thought might take a while to get used to.

The two of them had started to talk about their future. It had been months since all the fighting and apologizing happened. Her whole life after it, almost felt numb and like she was just watching her life happening around her, not actually living in it. Like somebody had hit fast forward and here they were now about to start a Fourth of July celebration. Their first true holiday together again as the Dawson's and the Moon's, the two families who had been with each other from the start. And would be there till the movie of life faded to black.

Austin was training harder than ever before in baseball, his coaches were saying he was a shoo-in for an athletic scholarship after their senior year was over, people were fighting over him. Finding a pitcher of his strength wasn't that easy nowadays, there were too many people who thought they had what it takes, when they didn't. Where with Austin, he doesn't even think he's good enough to play AAU ball. While Ally thought he was the best thing to ever hit the sport since Babe Ruth, she really doesn't know a lot about the famous players though.

She on the other hand, had found a new love; turning her journal entries into stories. With a little help from Mimi on some ideas, some true and some fabricated, she was already half way done with her first short book. A children's story about a precious pregnant horse with a young, blonde owner who had an obsession with macaroni and cheese. There's a very good chance her and Mimi made it as a way to make fun of Austin, but they plead the fifth on answering whether that's true or not.

It just needed some tweaking, but she's pretty sure she'll be turning it in as her senior project at the end of their first semester. But until then, here she is enjoying life. Her boyfriend by her side, their parents laughing by the barbecue, and all of their friends in the pool. The cliché Fourth of July. Although, she wouldn't ask for anything more.

So this is her story. The hard life of Ally Dawson, some may not believe it's all true, and maybe it's not. But it's her words, and this is her ending. Whether it's the real ending, or one she imagined. This is it.

A woman sits at her dark, cherry wood desk. A computer sits in front of her, thousands and thousands, and thousands of words typed on the document opened. Her hair is bunched in a messy ponytail, sitting atop of her head. The glasses covering eyes, are covered in smudges but thankfully covering the massive dark circles that she knows are there. Her fingers were still covering the keyboard, even though she had already typed her last few words.

This position of sitting like this had been her year for the last year and a half. Even sitting like this as she breast fed the latest edition to her family. A now three month old girl, the younger sister of a two year old boy. The perfect pair in her mind. Not too far apart in age, but not too close. Just like her and her husband.

"Hey, you done for the night?" a man asks coming up behind the woman, setting a heavy hand on her shoulder. "I finally got Brayden to sleep, and Lenora woke up wanting to be nursed."

The brunette, looks up at her husband and smiles. He's in an old t-shirt from his first year of the MLB, and she honestly thinks he couldn't look better, even with the stubble gracing his chin. "Yeah, I'm done… like Austin, I'm done."

"Like done, done?" he asks, a grin growing on his face as the words register through his head. "Ally, oh my gosh, I knew you could finish it!" She could hardly breathe when he kissed her, but when he finally let go she told him to go get Lenora, and put her in the living room.

And As he turns away, she looks back at her computer and clicks the save button. Entering in the document name; Where the Pasture Ends, original draft. Non-edited.

Fin.

Reviews are sorta kinda very cool.
