Hello my lovely readers. I am proud to give to you the happily ever after that Austin and Ally got.

Disclaimer: For the last time I will say; I do not own Austin and Ally. Even though I feel like I should after all the headache this story has given me.

Dear Dad,

Well, its been a year since you died. A year exactly and there for awhile I thought I wouldn't get through it. If it wasn't for Trish, Dez, and Austin, I probably wouldn't have made it long enough to be okay. They helped me through so much and we've gotten so much closer.

Trish and Dez are engaged! Can you believe it? I didn't believe it at first. I mean, lets be honest here, I thought they would break up pretty soon after they got together. The wedding is actually in two weeks. I'm maid of honor of course and no surprise Austin is the best man. Its a huge wedding honestly. I wouldn't expect anything less with Trish. She even asked me to sing a little during the reception. I agreed of course and even wrote a special song for it.

Speaking of singing, I released that album and I have another coming out in a few months. The first one was called Les is More, in honor of you. It's got songs that I wrote special for you. I even dedicated it to you. I got the breakout Artist Award from TeenBeat in April. You're mentioned in my speech. I brought Grandma Maggie as my date and Austin brought Kimmy-Ray. Kimmy-Ray freaked out when they showed her when me and Austin got our awards. We got best collaboration for 'Say Anything'. I get to go on tour with Austin starting this summer. I'm his opening act. Its gonna be great. I've got so many songs that I want the world to hear. I just hope that at least most people like my music. I still write for Austin every once and a while, but my abstinence sorta forced him to grow up a tad and learn to write his own music. They aren't half bad either. I mean they aren't as good as the ones I write for him, but they'll do just fine. Beggars can't be choosers, I guess. Plus he wrote me a love song. It was so pretty. I cried the first time he played it for me.

Ma and Pa really did move down here. They have a beach front condo. Its small, but pretty cool. Uncle Jeremy got married to a lovely girl named Amy about eight months ago. They're gonna have a little girl in about four months. Emily is having another set of twins… girls this time. We have a bet going if they have another one what it will be. I have 20 bucks that it'll be a girl and a boy. We have two more weddings coming up too. Julie and Shawn and Laney and Dallas are gettin hitched pretty soon. I think its great that everyone is so happy and growing up. I get to sing at all the weddings too.

I guess you're wondering about me and Austin. Well the good news is we are still together. We aren't engaged, married, or expecting a baby, either. He moved into the house with me. We just unloaded the last box this morning actually. We're taking it pretty slow. I don't want to rush into anything I'll regret later. Not that I would regret Austin, but marriage is too soon will complicate my life in ways I'm not ready for. Mrs. Moon is already planning our wedding though. She won't admit it, but I think she is more excited about mine and Austin's marriage that isn't happening, then Laney's that is happening in six months.

Speaking of the house, I changed a few things. I just moved into the master bedroom last week. Grandma came down to visit and we cleaned everything out and went shopping for new furniture. Change is good though and I have to let go eventually.

Sonic Boom is doing really well. Profits are up 35%. More people come in for lessons too. Even Austin has to help out every once in a while. I considered hiring someone extra to help out, but it seems weird and unnatural to have someone new in Sonic Boom. That's a little too much change for me. Changing your room around is one thing, but hired help at Sonic Boom is borderline criminal. Trish helps out behind the counter most days. She's gotten a lot better about working after high school. Plus I reminded her, there isn't a job that she can get in Miami.

Her fashion line is really popular. People everywhere wear the Totally Trish line. Dez is doing good work with directing. He directs all of mine and Austin's music videos, plus he has a successful tv series, Alien High, that plays every Tuesday night. Austin and I offer our singing talents every now and again, plus we're both guest starred on it once or twice.

So much has happened and I wanted you to be here for it so bad. I'm okay though. I'll be fine. I am fine. Life's too short to stay in the past. The past is the past and no matter what I do or say thats where its gonna stay.

I love you daddy and even though you're not here in body; you're still in my heart and thats where you'll stay until the day I die.

Love Forever,

Ally J. Dawson
