Hi guys, I'm back! Thanks for all of your support for my other two stories that I wrote, I really appreciate it! And for any new viewers, welcome. So this is my first Austin and Ally story. I know that their's going to be some rough spots, but I'm trying to get used to writing this type of fan fiction. Anyways, I'll try to update as much as I can! :3

And please Review!


Chapter1: Packing & Plane Tickets

Ally walked quickly down the sidewalk bundled up in a brown jacket and blue scarf. Because winter was now in full swing, she had to hang up her famous floral skirts and then break out her jeans. A pair of blue jeans as a matter of the fact currently shielded her legs from the cold. Suddenly she felt something icy and wet land on her cheek. She looked up to the sky and smiled as tiny flakes fluttered down from the clouds onto the streets below. She continued to walk along the gray concrete path until at last, she had made it home.

Once she entered the warm two story building she called her home, she unzipped her jacket revealing a gray V-neck top. Then she made her way towards her father's study to check in with him. It was sort of something she always did when she got home, just so that he could see that his little daddy's girl made it home in one piece. Once she came to the brown door of the study she stopped and knocked lightly.

"Papa," she said in a soft tone.

"I'm home."

She could hear him getting up from his chair, his footsteps getting louder until he put a hand on the door knob.

"Ally! Welcome home," he flashed a big smile at her as he swung open the door.

"How was school?"

"School was fine. I'm just so glad it's finally winter break!"

"Speaking of winter break, I have something exciting to tell you tonight."

Ally cocked her head to the side, perplexed by this. She wondered what was so exciting that he had to wait to tell her instead of now. Her father could read her body language as if it was a book and winked. He walked back over to his desk signaling to her that he had more work to do.

Finally Ally spoke up. "How was your day at work dad?"

"It was fine, though I had some very…interesting customers today."

Her dad ran a music store called sonic boom. It was a very well-liked store, and the shop was finally starting to make a name for itself. It became so successful in recent months that they could start hiring a small staff (which was very much needed). So obviously since the store was starting to become big they had a lot of very unique costumers come in. It became a frequent topic of discussion between the father and daughter pair.

"You should tell me more about them after I make dinner," Ally said glancing at her watch.


Ally put the last dish in the sink from her meal, feeling proud of herself that her father seemed to like it. It was more of an older recipe that was handed down the family line until it reached her mother. Ally's eyes dulled a bit but she forced it away. She didn't want her father to see her getting emotional. She went over to the leather couch that was located against the wall of their living room. Her dad was already seated on the right side, waiting for her to make herself comfortable. As soon as she was settled across from him he began to speak.

"Ally, I know that we don't really talk about this," he started in an almost shy tone.

"But let's face it, we've been miserable for the last couple of years."

The dullness came back into Ally's eyes. She knew that they would need to confront these feelings, but she didn't expect it to be now.

"I know that you miss your mother. God knows that I miss her too, but she wouldn't want us to be like this. We were once a very social family and we went to places, took vacations, had some real fun and quality family time."

His face relaxed as he continued.

"Ally, what I'm trying to say is that we need to get out of the house for a week or two and enjoy ourselves again."

Ally sat their speechless. She didn't know if he was expecting her to say something or not. She thought back to when her mom was still alive. They went out on trips to see their best family friends the Moons. Ally's eyes widened as the connection was made. Surely her father wasn't trying to suggest that she visited them.

"And I think that the best way to do that is for you and I to go see the Moons again. They're our family. And they've been asking to see you."

"They've been asking to…see me," Ally asked.

"Yes sweetheart. They've proposed that we go and spend some time with them in Nevada. You remember Nevada don't you? You and Austin used to love going to their cabin."

Ally smiled as she remembered Austin. They used to play tag on their wide expanse of property, ride horses, fish, and they often went to the lake.

"Daddy, you're right. It's been three years since I've seen them. I think I'd want to go. A-at least for a little while."

He fished two pieces of paper from his pocket and put them in her hands. She smiled as she realized what they were; plane tickets.


That night Ally brought her purple suitcase up to her room to begin packing. The plane was scheduled to leave tomorrow! That didn't give her very much time at all to pack. She went down her check list to make sure that she had everything she needed. Feeling satisfied with herself after doing an inventory check, she grabbed her light blue back pack and started to stuff it full of magazines, books, a very small make-up bag, two sets of headphones, her IPod, and the last and most important thing was her song book and a few pens.

She let out a small yawn and decided to turn in early tonight. She changed into some thin shorts and left on her shirt. After brushing her teeth she got under her blankets and shut off the lights. Tomorrow was going to be a good day.
