I don't own" Austin and Ally" or 'The Summer I Turned Pretty", this story is basically word for word of Jenny Han's story, except I changed a few to avoid copyright, enjoy and if the characters seem OOC it's because it's AU. By the way, Auslly all the way ;) I used Riker to be Austin's brother because he actually is Ross's brother, which you probably already knew.

Chapter One

It felt like we'd been driving for 5 years, my brother Jack, drove slower than our Grandmother. I sat next to him in the passenger seat, my feet up on the dashboard and ear buds in. Meanwhile, my mother was passed out in the back. I took my ear buds out.

"Go faster," I urged Jack. "Let's pass that kid on the bike." Jack ignored my plead. "Get your dirty feet off my dashboard."

I wiggled my toes back and forth to annoy him, they looked pretty clean to me. "It's not your dashboard. It's gonna be my car when you leave for college, you know."

He rolled his eyes.

"Hey, look!" I said pointing out the window. "That granny with a walker just lapped us!"

Jack ignored me again, so I began to play with the radio. One of my many favorite things about going to the beach was the radio stations. I was as familiar was them as the ones back home and listening to them just meant that we were really there, at the beach.

I found my favorite station, the one that played every genre you could imagine. My mother woke up and we both started singing, our voices harmonizing. I wasn't ever really one to sing in front of people, true I loved to sing but I had a terrible case of stage fright, but something about being so close to the beach made today different.

We drove through the town slowly, and even though I'd just teased Jack about it, I didn't really mind. I loved this drive, this part of the trip. Seeing the town all over again, the crab shack, the mini-golf course, and all of the surf shops, felt like coming home after you'd been gone for a long time. It held a million promises of summer and of what just might be. As we got closer and closer to the house, I could almost feel my heart pumping out of my chest. We were almost there.

I rolled down my window and breathed in the salty air, the wind making my hair fly all over the place, all of it felt perfect. Like this is what my life's purpose was.

Jack elbowed me. "Are you thinking about Austin?" he asked mockingly.

For once the answer was no. "No." I snapped.

My mother stuck her head in between our seats.

"Ally, do you still like Austin? From the looks of things last summer, I thought there might be something going on between you and Riker."

"Mom, just because two people are good friends doesn't mean there's anything going on. Don't ever bring that up again."

"Done." She said and leaned back in her seat, she sounded serious unlike Jack.

"What happened with you and Riker? You can't say something like that and not explain."

"Get over it," I told him. Telling Jack anything would only give him a motive to make fun of me. And anyways, there was nothing to say.

Austin and Riker were Mimi's boys. Mimi Moon is my mom's closest friend; they'd known each other since they were 9.

Mimi told me that when I was born she knew that I was destined for one of her boys, She called it fate, giving me her "blessing". We'd been going to Mimi's beach house in Miami since I was a baby, before I was born actually. Miami was like a second home to me, the beach house was my world. We had our own stretch of beach to ourselves. I always wondered what the boys would look like, counting down the days till summer in class. For me winter didn't count, my entire life was counted by summers. It felt like I didn't start truly living until I'm at the beach in June.

Austin was the oldest, by a year and a half. He had a perfect kind of mouth that I always found myself staring at. He had blonde hair that flipped just the right way, and he always smelled like ocean air. Guys like that make you want to kiss them, and that was exactly what I wanted to do with Austin.

Riker though-was my friend. He was nice to me. He was the guy who still hugged his mother, wanted to hold her hand, even if he was way too old for it. He wasn't embarrassed either. Riker Moon was too busy having fun to be embarrassed.

I bet Austin was more popular then Riker at their school. I bet girls liked him better. Even though he preferred to play his guitar and sing more than party and drink.

When we finally pulled up at the house, Riker and Austin were sitting on the porch. I leaned over Jack and honked the horn, telling them to come help with the bags.

Ryland who was 16 now, was taller than last summer and his hair was cut short above his ears, he'd used to have long hair, he hated his shaggy hair, for a while Austin convinced him when we were younger that sandwich crusts make your hair grow so Riker stopped eating sandwich crusts and Austin would eat them. As Riker got older he started to keep his hair shorter, while Austin liked his long and in his eyes.

I sat in the car and watched Jack walk up to the two of them and hug them the ways guys do. The air smelled even more salty closer to the beach, I pretended to be tying my shoes but really I just wanted to look for a second. At the house, look at the boys, look at the sea. The house was large, grey and white, and it looked like every other beach house looked. But it looked like home.

My mother got out of the car too. "Hey boys, where's your mother?" She called out.

"Hey Penny, she's taking a nap," Riker told her. Usually Mimi came flying out the door the second our tires hit the driveway.

My mother walked over to them and pulled them both into a tight hug. Then she disappeared into the house, pushing her sunglasses onto the top of her head.

I got out of the car and slung my bag over my shoulder. They didn't even notice me at first. But then they did. they really did. Austin gave me a quick glance over like guys at the mall do. Austin's never looked at me like that before. I felt my face flush. Austin looked like he didn't even recognize me. All of this happened in the span of three seconds, but it felt like an hour.

Austin hugged me first, but a faraway kind of hug, careful not to get too close. He smelled like the ocean. He smelled like Austin. ' I liked you better with glasses." He said, his lips close to my ear.

That stung. I shoved him away from me and said, "Well, too bad. My contacts are here to stay."

He smiled at me, and that smile- he is just forgiven. His smile did that every time. "I think you got some new ones." He said tapping me on my nose. He knew how self-conscious I was about my freckles and he still teased me every time.

Riker grabbed me next, and he almost lifted me into the air. "Our Ally's all grown up," he said.

I laughed. 'Put me down," I teased. "You smell like BO."

Riker laughed loudly. "Same old Ally," he said, but he was staring at me like wasn't quite sure who I was. He cocked his head and said, "Something looks different about you, Ally."

"What? I got contacts." I wasn't completely used to myself without my glasses either. My best friend Taylor had been trying to convince me to get contacts since 6th grade, and I'd finally listened.

He smiled. "It's not that. You just look different."

I went back to the car then and the boys followed me. We unloaded the van quickly, and as soon as we were done I picked up my suitcase and my book bag and headed straight for my old bedroom. My room was Mimi's when she was younger. It had faded music notes painted all over the walls and a white bedroom set. A music box that I loved, when you opened it there was a twirling ballerina that danced to the theme song to Romeo and Juliet. I kept my jewelry in it. Everything in my room was old and faded but I liked it like that. There could be hidden secrets in these walls, the bed, and in that music box.

Seeing Austin again, and having him look at me that way made me need to take a second to breathe. I grabbed the stuffed dolphin on my dresser and hugged him to my chest, his name was Dougie. I sat down on the twin bed with Dougie. My heart was beating so loud I could hear it. Everything was the same but not. They had looked at me like I was a real girl, not somebody's little sister.

I hoped you liked it! Please review and tell me if you want Chapter Two!
