Author's note: here is a new story that I've been meaning to write about for a while! The actual concept is kind of science-fiction, so here's the gist of it: Austin and Ally are real people, but they live in a different universe from humans on Earth. One day, they watch TV, to find that there is an Earth-made show going on, and it's about them. They have no idea how any humans could even have come up with this, but when Ross and Laura show up one day, they might get some of their answers and some new questions.
I hope you like it! Or, you know, if not, I always love constructive criticism:)
It was an ordinary day in Miami. Not Miami, Florida, USA, Earth, but rather, Miami, Florida, USA, Earth 2.0. The Earth exactly like Earth, but not the one that humans live in. Not humans that you know of, anyway.
"What a long day!" Ally sighed, sitting down on the couch in the music factory that she had co-founded.
Her boyfriend, Austin, walked across the room to put away a guitar and a violin, before walking over to her and sitting down and putting his arm around him. It was only the two of them in the music factory, since Trish and Dez, their best friends, had already left. They didn't mind, though. It meant that they had more time alone together, something that they lacked and they both wanted so badly.
"Hey, do you want to watch TV?" Austin asked, sitting up straighter.
She wrinkled her nose. "TV? But we don't even like the same shows!"
"Then we'll find something new to watch!" he exclaimed, already reaching for the remote control for the new, flat-screen TV that they had installed in the music factory.
He flipped through the channels before stopping at one, his eyes lighting up.
"Zaliens?" Ally groaned. "No! Austin, you know how much I don't like Zaliens."
"Fine, fine," he sighed, before flipping to a new channel that neither of them had ever seen before, where a show was just starting. "What-"
Ally looked up at the TV and stared for a long moment. "Austin, that's Sonic Boom!"
Suddenly, two characters appeared in the first scene, and not two random characters from a random TV show. No, they were none other than Austin and Ally themselves, only from a few years back.
"Austin, that's us in the practice room!" Ally exclaimed, still staring.
"If you wanna run, I'll be your road." he sang. "What's the next line?"
"If you want a friend," she replied.
"Right...friend...I like that."
They both stopped paying attention, already knowing exactly what was happening. But they didn't know that it had been filmed!
"Austin, we were never being filmed!" Ally exclaimed.
"How..." he muttered.
"What channel is this?" she asked.
He clicked on a button on the remote that showed that the channel was called Disney Channel.
"I've never heard of Disney Channel before," he said. "Have you?"
She shook her head. "I think it's a new channel on our TV. But why would we be on it?"
They were contemplating the unusual situation when the door to the music factory opened. They both turned around, and just like in their first song, they did a double take. Walking into the room were two people who looked exactly like them, only their younger selves by a few years. Ally screamed, Austin blinked a few times, trying to see if everything was actually happening, Ally's lookalike just stared, and Austin's lookalike ducked behind her.
Austin was the one who broke the momentary silence. "Ally? What's going on?"
"Wait, what?" both Ally's said at the same time.
"You're Ally?" the younger Ally said in disbelief. "Ross, what's happening?"
"Hold on," Austin said. "We're Austin and Ally, and you two look exactly like us. Who are you?"
"We're Ross and Laura," his lookalike explained. "But Austin and Ally aren't real! They're just characters that we act out on TV! And what is this place?"
"This is the A&A Music Factory!" Ally exclaimed. "Wait...were you two the ones that we saw on TV? Or was that us?"
"Um, we're on TV," Laura said. "Disney Channel. But you're us!"
"Right, so that was you that we saw, not us," Ally figured. "But how do you guys know everything about our lives?"
"We don't," Laura replied. "Besides, what is this A&A Music Factory thing? I thought Austin and Ally hung out in Sonic Boom."
"We turned Sonic Boom into the A&A Music Factory after there were too many students who wanted to get lessons with Ally," Austin explained. "Besides, since I can't perform anymore, I have tons of time to teach kids!"
"Wait, what?" Ross and Laura said in unison.
"Austin doesn't perform anymore?" Ross exclaimed in disbelief.
"Well, it's a long story." Ally said. "First, what do you guys know?"
"I can't believe this!"
Ross and Laura had finally explained their position. They had only finished filming the second season of Austin & Ally, but all of what they had filmed matched up with what actually happened with Austin and Ally, and there was no reason for them to think that the rest of the show would not somehow match up with the real Austin and Ally's past and present.
"Now it's your turn," Laura said. "What have you guys been doing since Austin's first national tour?"
"Well, we obviously wrote a whole bunch of songs," Ally replied, "and we've done a bunch of crazy things. At one point, I was dating Gavin and Austin was dating Piper, but we realized that they weren't right for us and we got together at prom."
Austin put his arm around Ally lovingly, as Ross and Laura watched awkwardly. All of their fans wanted them together in real life, so it was especially awkward to see their TV characters together in front of them. It was still incomprehensible to Ross.
"But how did all of this happen?" he repeated. "And, wait, why doesn't Austin perform anymore?"
"Jimmy stopped me from performing and producing music after I declared my love for Ally at WMA's," he explained.
"That's so romantic!" Ross and Laura said in unison, before looking at each other and blushing.
"Aw, you remind me of our younger selves," Ally commented, giving Austin a knowing look. "We liked each other so much! But we were too shy to admit it."
"We're just friends!" Ross said quickly. "Seriously, why does everyone think we like each other?"
"Because we know how you feel," his blond lookalike replied. "Ross, I know exactly how you feel! I liked Ally when I went on tour, but there was no way I was going to tell her. We had already agreed to just be friends, anyway."
"But I'm not you!" Ross objected. "I mean, I am, but you're not me! I mean, just because you like Ally doesn't mean that Laura and I are anything more than friends!"
"Let's move on from this subject," Laura said, shifting around uncomfortably in her seat.
"Agreed!" her lookalike exclaimed, giving her a high-five.
"So," Laura said, trying to change the topic, "Austin and Ally are real people? Wait, how have we never seen you before? I mean, Ross and I were just leaving the set after we finished filming the last episode of season two."
"Yeah, we just took a detour and walked around and saw this cool building that looked awfully familiar," Ross said. "How have we never seen this place before?"
"I don't know," Austin replied. "The Factory's pretty well-known in Miami."
"Miami?" Ross repeated. "But we're in LA!"
"LA, California, USA, Earth 2.0? Seriously? We're in Miami!" Austin laughed. "And I thought I was bad at geography! Wait, you're my younger self. Of course you're bad at geography!"
"Earth 2.0?" Ross repeated. "No, it's just regular Earth! And I am not bad at geography!"
"You two are from Earth?" Ally said, disbelieving. "Austin, I was right! My physics teacher laughed when I tried to prove that teleportation between parallel universes was possible. Parallel universes don't exist, she said. But of course they do! Everyone knows that Earth, the original, exists, so where's that if not in a parallel universe?"
"That's exactly what I said!" Laura exclaimed as the two blonds stared in confusion. "I mean, not the thing about Earths, but the thing about parallel universes!"
"So there are 2 Earths?" Ross asked, seeming concerned and confused. "Wait, but how did we get here? We were walking around in LA! On Earth! Then we rounded a corner and we were in Miami on Earth 2.0!"
"That's what we have to try to figure out!" the two girls exclaimed excitedly. "Once we do, we'll have proven that not only do parallel universes exist, so does teleportation! We'll be famous!"
"You're already famous," the two boys pointed out at the same time, before both laughing.
Laura smiled and turned to Ally, who she expected would be doing the same, before finding that she wasn't.
"Wait...so you two were just walking around in LA on Earth and then somehow ended up in our planet?" she said worriedly.
Ross and Laura both nodded as Austin laughed.
"They already said that, Ally!" he teased. "Aren't you supposed to be the smart one?"
She ignored his comment, instead seeming even more worried.
"But then...how are you going to get back?"
Author's note: Dun dun dun! Okay, it's kind of clichéd, but I promise it will get interesting. This is probably the most complicated thing I've written on fanfiction...but I just wrote an essay in class for a test so it makes sense that I'm writing complicated things. I hope it wasn't confusing! Feedback is appreciated!
