"If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile." The famous duo's voices carried out in harmony as they sang the song that started it all. Ally's small hands played the piano delicately yet passionately, while Austin's strong hands strummed the guitar and tapped his foot to the beat.

"Anything you need, that's what I'll be…" Knowing the song by heart, the couple continued to play while maintaining eye contact with each other. Ally smiled sweetly, causing Austin's face to radiate in happiness as well. "You can come to me."

"You can come to me. Yeah." They finished the last note in sync. Austin swung his acoustic guitar over his head, put it in its designated area, and sat next to Ally on the bench. The bench wasn't necessarily roomy, but the couple didn't care. They loved to be as close as possible, and the concept of personal space simply wasn't in their vocabulary.

Ally wrote down a few notes in her songbook concerning tonality and rhythmic meter. As she put her pencil down, she smiled, gazing at the beautiful diamond ring on her left hand. Austin followed her gaze and connected his hand with hers.

Yes, the famous Austin and Ally were engaged. At first it was a little concerning for everyone. Sure, they have known each other for many years and they were as close as close could be. Everyone had seen it coming sooner or later, but no one was expecting it this early. They have only been dating for a year and a half. Their parents were happy for them, but there was the concern that they were only eighteen (almost nineteen) years old. Marrying young was not always such a good idea. To top it, they were famous. A lot of celebrity couples end up splitting because of pressure in the media. Everyone knew Austin and Ally were in love when he confessed his feelings for her on live T.V., and she reciprocated them. They were one of the hottest couples around. For Austin, it was no big deal. He knew that he loved her and that she loved him, and he thought they were strong enough to deal with anything that comes their way. Ally was more logical about it. When he first proposed, she said yes. However, the more she thought about it, the more she became unsure. She had gotten accepted into Harvard, one of the most prestigious schools in the country. Austin was going to continue to work on his music, but he would stay in Miami for the most part. Ally didn't know if her being in Massachusetts and him being in Florida would work out. That's a long time to be so far apart. So they took a very small break.

It honestly broke his heart. He understood her concept, and yes he was willing to wait for her. But he just loved her so much. His insecurities, which are very tiny but there, were taking a hold as she suggested they take a break. They had graduated high school a few days later, and then they decided to perform together. As they debuted their new duet, Austin also debuted their engagement, and got down on one knee to ask her again, in front of millions of people.

"Ally, I have something to say… I know that we're young… but I loved you for a long time. Even before I said it verbally… I knew…" He stared deeply into her eyes, feeling like it was just the two of them when in reality, all of America watching. He got down on one knee as the audience gasped and awed. Ally smiled brightly as tears filled her eyes. "Ally Willow Dawson, will you make me the happiest man in Miami, and marry me?"

Ally held his hand. Her emotions were conflicted. She wanted to be with him, but with her school and their careers, it would be extremely difficult to be together. At this time they were still on a break, but he took this chance anyways. She sighed. "I want to be with you… but what if things don't work out? What if this is too much for us?"

Austin stood up and caressed her cheek. "They will work out. We'll make it work out. Ally, I still love you…"

She looked deep into his eyes, getting lost in them. "I never stopped loving you…"

Austin smiled shyly at her response, as his heart pounded in anxiety of her answer to the question. "So, what do you say?"

Ally has never smiled so bright, she held his face and pulled him close, confirming her answer with a passionate kiss.

Austin and Ally were both lost in thought, staring at the beautiful diamond ring and remembering that day a few months ago.

"That was probably the best day of my life," Ally confessed. "Well, so far anyways."

Austin nodded. "It was the most nerve wracking day of my life."

She raised her eyebrows. "More nerve wracking than the time when you passed out at the beach and Dez tried to give you CPR?"

"Okay. The second most nerve wracking day of my life…" He chuckled softly. "But this is a process. We aren't just going to run off and get married just like that. Your dad gave me his blessing with the promise that I would take care of you and wait till we're both twenty-two."

Ally furrowed her brows. "Then why did you propose when you did? Why didn't you wait until later."

He shrugged. "I didn't know what would happen down the road. All I know is that I wanted to be with you, and I want you spend the rest of my life with you. I wanted us to be committed and wait for each other."

Ally grinned sweetly. "Awe…" She pulled him into a tight hug and he pulled her close into his arms, burying his face in her shoulder. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you too, I couldn't imagine a better future."

Austin smiled and pulled back, about to say something else when he was interrupted by Trish and Dez bursting into the practice room.

"Guess who's got great news?!" Trish exclaimed excitedly and Austin and Ally immediately got up from the bench.

"Really?" Ally asked. "What is it?"

"Yeah!" Dez piped up. "What is it Trish? I've been dying to know!"

She shot him a glare. "You were with me, doof. You already know the news."

Dez put on a thinking face. "Oh yeah… I do, don't I?"

"Just say it already!" Austin exclaimed.

"Well," Trish started. "It seems that both Jimmy and Ronnie were so impressed by your duet in May, that they offered for you two to collaborate and do a joint tour! It'll help promote you as artists and the fans want to know all about the proposal!"

"What?! Really?!" Ally squealed. "Thank you so much Trish!"

The four of them joined in a massive group hug. "You are the best manager ever." Austin said.

Trish giggled. "Yeah, I know. I know I'm the best.

Ally had decided beforehand to take the semester off. She had been so busy with her career anyways, that she wanted to take online courses for her first semester. Their tour, named "The Moon and Sun", would start in September and go till the first weekend of January. They would travel across the United States, but for the most part during Autumn, they would be in the Northeast. They would perform duets and solos, and the concerts were on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. This meant they had the whole week to relax and do anything they wanted to. Right now, Trish was only managing Austin and Ally. She had plans to manage other bands, but it wouldn't be till next Spring. Dez was going back to film school in L.A., but it wouldn't be till summer. This meant that they would all be together on this tour, and they got to spend all of Fall and most of Winter doing what they loved the most.

Ally was the most excited. She heard about how beautiful New England is during Fall, and she was going to experience it firsthand. Sure, Miami had Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. However, only a few trees down there changed colors and lost their leaves. It got a bit chilly, but they still had sweltering hot days. They were going to be able to experience their first official Autumn together, and they were already planning all the cliché Fall fun they would have.

However, things don't always go as smoothly as planned.

Hello guys, long time no talk. It's been difficult for me for a while and I just couldn't find the inspiration to write. I will write one last chapter to conclude "Her Last Seventeen", so you can look for that soon. I wanted to write this, because Fall is my favorite season and we all need some Auslly fluff in our lives. This will be a ten chapter story and will be mostly fluffy, but there will be some drama here and there. I will upload the next chapter sometime next week. Also this chapter contained a few spoilers to a few future episodes. I won't bluntly tell you what they are, but if you really want to know then DM me. I used a few direct quotations but most of this is all just my own writing.

Thank you guys for everything. :)
