Hello lovely's! I didn't know if people really wanted a sequel so I asked and a handful of people wanted it so I'm going to do it! So if you've never read Promises I would definitely recommend you reading it before this. It would just make more sense; don't want anyone confused :).

So I hope you will like this as much as the first one.

I own nothing :).

Four years had already gone by, and the four years at MUNY had been all Ally had dreamed of. Sure, it was hard work, but she spent a lot of time studying until she got everything perfect.

MUNY had really become a home to Ally, and the faces she had gotten to know were on their journey's to their own success. Ridley would be the person she would miss the most. She had become one of her good friends over the four years. But she was ready to go home. To her true home in Miami.

She started a feel a little homesick after four years, and she guessed Austin was too.

The last of Ally's suitcases were packed, and she looked around her room, making sure she didn't miss anything. "You forgot something," a voice said from behind her. It was Ridley, clear as day, holding her songbook. Out of all the things I could have forgot, she thought as she took it from her friend.

"Thanks," she smiled. She put it in her carry-on backpack; her other two bags would be easier to put on the plane.

Ridley was packing her bags too, but she wasn't going anywhere. She was staying in New York. And tonight she would be in her own apartment on the 8th floor. "I'll be glad to have my own apartment," Ridley started a conversation as Ally brushed her hair. "But I'm gonna miss having you as a roommate."

"Me too," Ally confessed, putting the brush in her backpack. "It's for the best. We can text constantly, and Skype of course." She smiled for her friends sake, but she was feeling sick to her stomach. She was really going to miss Ridley and all of the people she came to know.

"Yeah, you're right. And hey, we might hear each other on the radio some day. With voices like ours." Ally always loved Ridley's confidence. It made her wish she had that much confidence in herself.

Ally smiled and nodded, "Maybe."

"Knock knock." Austin was at the door. He was going with her back home.

"Come in!" Ally said, packing her last thing in her carry-on bag.

Austin opened the door with his suitcase firmly grasped on his hand; his carry-on bag hanging from his shoulders. "You almost ready?"

"Yep."

Their flight left at 6:30 and it was currently almost 3:00 and they knew they needed to be there extra early so they could get through security. They of course already had their tickets. Ally was just glad that Austin was coming back to Miami too. When they had that conversation of what happens after college, Ally remembered his exact words: "I will go wherever you go. And if Miami is your choice, I'm going too."

"I can drive you guys," Ridley offered.

"Are you sure?" Ally asked. She didn't want to be a burden. "We can always take a taxi-"

"Nonsense!" she interrupted, going for her keys. "Let's go."

...

"I'm gonna miss you guys," Ridley said for the thousandth time.

"Awe, come here!" Austin took both young women and wrapped them into a hug. The hug was long, and it was nice. The three pulled away from the hug at the same time.

"Bye guys, love you." Ridley blew them a kiss as she got back into her car; they watched their friend until they couldn't see her white car anymore.

"Time to go, Alls," Austin said softly as he offered his hand. She smiled and accepted it.

Security wasn't too bad. The line seemed to move fast. It was about 5:30 when they both decided they were hungry. To save money, they halved a sandwich. "Your half." Austin smiled, giving her the bigger half.

"Just think, in an hour, we'll be heading home!" Ally said excitedly, thanking him quietly as she took the sandwich. She missed Miami a lot. It's were she grew up. The weather, her parents, and even Patrick.

Austin nodded. "I'll be glad to get home. I wonder how Piper is."

"She hasn't texted you?" Ally asked in disbelief.

"No she has, I just think she's been busy. She's been volunteering at Lincoln Elementary."

"Hey, that's Patrick's school!" Ally almost forgot.

"Alls, Patrick is 12 now," he reminded her gently. "In middle school."

Wow, my brother is a preteen! she thought. How did Austin know and she didn't? It seems like it was just yesterday when her and Austin were Seniors, and taking Patrick to his parent-teacher conference; and after taking him for ice cream. He had turned 8 a few days after Ally's Freshman year in college, which is why he was 12 now.

"I knew that," she lifted up her glasses with her index finger and thumb; they were on the bridge of her nose. But for some reason, whenever she was being exactly honest, or when she was just plain nervous, her glasses seemed to slip off her nose easily; it was frustrating.

"Uh huh," he chuckled as he took another bite of the sandwich.

"Shut up," she muttered.

He just laughed again. "Ohh, I'm scared." He smirked.

"So... what did Piper go to college for?"

Austin grew a little more serious, but his eyes were calm. "She wants to be a teacher."

"Ah," Ally nodded. That would make sense cause she was volunteering. "They would be idiots not to hire her! What grade does she want to teach?"

"Fourth- maybe fifth- grade. I haven't heard anything from her lately. But she knows we are coming home today. Maybe she got the job?" Austin guessed.

"Maybe," Ally echoed. "That would be amazing."

"Yeah, she would get the job she always wanted." Austin nodded with a smile.

Ally thought about Piper. She was a nice young women, being Austin's sister of course. She bullied her in her Freshman year, but Ally decided to forgive her cause was holding a grudge really worth it? She was just glad it wasn't awkward anymore between her Piper.

They finished their food in silence. Austin checked his phone. "It's 5 past 6, we should get going." It was much easier to move along without their suitcases, which were going under the plane for free.

It didn't take long to get to their arrival gate, B17. Now all they had to do was wait.

...

Ally took a seat on the comfy airport seat. Austin of course let his Ally take the window seat. Austin took a seat next to her. "Home, here we come!" he smiled at her.

"Excuse me young man, I think you are in my seat." A new, unfamiliar voice came in. It was an old woman. Her voice was polite.

Austin exchanged a glace with Ally.

The women took out her ticket and showed it to Austin. "See, it says I'm on seat 12; the second seat." Austin sighed, that meant she had to sit in the middle of them. That also meant they couldn't cuddle or really talk to each other without bothering her.

He looked longingly at Ally, and back at her, hoping she would the hint. Ally copied his actions. The woman smiled. "I understand." She winked at them and took a seat next to Austin.

"Thanks, um..." Ally trailed off.

"Mrs. Crumbs," she answered. "But you can call me Agnes."

"Thanks, Agnes," Austin smiled, than looked back at Ally, who was shivering. "Are you cold, sweetie?"

"Nah I'm just-"

"I brought a blanket," he interrupted, getting the blanket out of his backpack and put it on Ally, knowing she couldn't fool him. If she was cold, he knew. He probably knew her more than she knew herself.

She snuggled into it. "Thanks Austy," she leaned up a little and kiss his cheek. He wrapped her arms around her and showered her with kisses on the head.

"Young love," Agnes sighed happily with a smile, obviously more to herself. "Such a mystery." Well, Austin and Ally were too dazed to even here Agnes's comment; not that it would make a difference if they did or not.

"So Agnes," Ally started, looking over Austin's shoulder. He let go of her so she could face the old lady correctly. "What brings you here today?" She asked politely.

"Well," Agnes started slowly. "I was visiting my son and his wife and kids for a week here. So just family stuff, deary. But also they took me to see the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island."

Memories flood through Ally, she remembered going to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island with Austin, Ridley, and a few other friends of hers during her Freshman year of college.

"So what about you guys?"

Austin answered that. He sat up in the seat and faced her properly. "We just graduated college."

"Ah, graduates! Congratulations, er..."

"Austin, and this is my girlfriend Ally." He nodded towards Ally, who was waving.

"I assumed, you guys are the cutest things. Well congratulations, Austin and Ally."

"Thanks," they said at the same time.

"So what college did you go to here?"

"MUNY," Ally answered.

"Music University of New York, huh? I heard it's a good school. They only allow the best in there."

"It's the best," Austin agreed.

"So you guys like music?" Agnes guessed.

"Oh we love it," Ally said. "I like to write songs."

"Ohh, nice. What about you, Austin?"

"Music has always spoken to me. I play guitar a lot, and I love singing."

Agnes nodded with a smile. Ally tensed up when she felt the plane lift off, leaving goosebumps on her arms and making the weird feeling in her belly come back. Her face turned pale. "Are you okay?" Agnes asked.

"Just peachy," she answered through her teeth.

"She's not a big fan of flying," Austin told her and turned his attention back to her. "Honey, it's okay," he rubbed her shoulders and sweet-talked her. "Deep breathes, there ya go. Not so hard, is it? Thata girl." He whispered in her hear.

The plane was as high as it needed to be, and the weird feeling you always got in your stomach was gone. "I'm okay now," she breathed. "Thanks to you." She leaned her head on Austin's chest, wrapping herself back in Austin blanket.

Austin smiled. After a while they were aloud to turn on electronics. "Wanna watch a movie?" he whispered in her ear.

"Sure," she sat up. Austin had brought his laptop. He needed it for school, and it was good to have for the long plane ride ahead. He had Netflix on his laptop; thankfully, the wifi was free. "What should we watch?"

He shrugged. "Well let's see..." he opened up Netflix.

"What's that?" Ally pointed at the movie.

"Teen Beach Movie?" Austin asked. "I don't know." He shrugged, and clicked on it. They both read the info.

"Hmm, that Ross Lynch guy looks a lot like you..."

"I guess," Austin shrugged.

"Seriously," she giggled. "You guys could be twins!"

After a few moments, Austin clicked on the back button. "So moving on..." he said awkwardly as they continued their search. They eventually settled on one of the popular Robin Williams movies- "Hook". (A/N- RIP Robin Williams, he was a good one :))

When the movie was over, there was only an hour left of the flight, and Ally was getting ancy. Sitting down started to hurt, and she just wanted to stretch. Agnes was comfortable reading her book, not focusing on anything but that.

"Alls, come here." Austin grabbed her belly and she rested her head on his chest. "Just try to sleep." He whispered, feeling a bit drowsy himself.

"Can you sing to me?" she asked like a child.

"Of course." He didn't want his voice to go too high. He didn't want to disturb Agnes or anyone else on the plane, so he kept his voice low.

"Okay maybe I'm shy,

But usually I speak my mind,

But by your side... I'm tongue tied,

Sweaty palms, I get red,

You think I have no confidence,

But I do,

Just not with you...

Now I'm singing all the words I'm scared to say,

Yeah,

So forgive me if I'm doing this all wrong,

I'm trying my best in this song

To tell you what I can I do?

I'm stuck on you,

I'm hoping you feel what I do

Cause i told mom about you,

I told her what can I do?

I'm stuck on you,

Like the night sticks to the moon,

Girl, I'm stuck on you."

He finished the song. It was only the first verse, but Ally was already drifting into sleep so there was no point to go on. Austin had spent months working on that song. Pretty much half of his Freshman year in college working on it; he sang it for Ally on her 19th birthday.

The last hour on the plane went by fast for Ally. Austin was stroking her hair until she was asleep. Suddenly an hour only felt like minutes.

...

"Ally..." Austin shook her awake gently.

"What happened?" she yawned, sitting up.

"We're home," he whispered. Ally rubbed her eyes.

"Yay!" they were the last ones to get off the plane; Agnes had already left. The last of the people were exiting the plane, and Austin and Ally were getting left behind.

"C'mon Alls, We are getting left behind." He took her hand and they got both of their carry-on bags.

"Okay baggage claiming..." Ally looked up and spotted it. "Ah!" It didn't take long for their bags to appear; thankfully they didn't get lost like she feared.

Ally took out her phone text her dad that she was here. "My dad's going to pick us up."

"Okay, I'll tell Piper so she won't have to pick me up." He took out his phone to text her.

"We'll drop you off. I'm sure you guys have a lot of catching up to do."

Austin nodded as the went to their right terminal and Ally texted her father that they were waiting at door 2. Now they had to wait again. That's what airports were all about.

The wait wasn't long. Ally instantly spotted her fathers blue car. Her and Austin ran to it; Lester came out, smiling and ran up to hug her daughter. "Hi sweetie!"

"Hi dad!" Ally smiled as she pulled away from the hug.

"Hey Mr. Dawson." Austin was about to shake his hand but Lester hugged him.

"Thanks for taking care of my little girl," he said, pulling away from the hug. "And call me Lester." Austin opened his mouth to say something, using his real name for the first time, but someone else stepped out of the car.

"Ally!" It was Patrick's voice. It sounded different though. But it wasn't hard to guess what had happened- puberty. Some started younger than others and some where much later. He grew a lot over four years, as kids seem to do.

Patrick ran to his sister. His height was up to her stomach now. "Hi Pat." She was surprised that her brother was like this. He must have missed her.

"I missed you!" he pulled away and glanced at Austin, and ran to him as well. "I miss you too, Austin." He hugged him tightly.

"I missed you too, buddy."

The car ride was talkative. Everyone had something to say. Austin and Ally talked about their lives in MUNY and what their goals for the future. Mr. Dawson listened, but he didn't seem like he was completely there; like he was hiding something. And that scared Ally. But he was constantly grinning so she guessed it was nothing bad. But still...

"So what have you been up to dad?" she asked.

"Oh, nothing much. But when we get home I got a surprise for you." He smiled a little at her and looked back at the road. Patrick looked like he knew something as well but if he did he kept his mouth shut.

'Little surprise'? What does that mean? she thought in frustration. Maybe she was getting worked up over nothing and the surprise was something like a surprise party? Sighing, she knew she would have to wait until she got home.

I think this is the perfect way to end the chapter. What do you think the surprise will be? Any guesses? I'm also planning to do something with Piper that'll leave Austin... I don't really know how to say anything without giving away what happens. But you'll find out in the next chapter that should be coming out soon :).

So what do you think of this? I did it four years later cause if I were to do the story set in MUNY because I don't know anything about it just that it's a music school and if I were to do that I would make a lot of mistakes and people would probably rudely correct me. Not saying all of you. But the point is I'm not in college so I don't know.

Please review lovely's!
