So, I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but I never did. Then, I came across the picture again, and I thought, "Why not?".

I'm actually really really really really excited about this story. I've been told it's been done before, but I don't really care. It will be my own twist and all that. :)

Sorry, I went a little italics crazy on this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally or the the Tumblr post I saw with this plot.

Allyson Karissa Dawson sat in her kitchen, eating her cereal, and thinking. Thinking about what? Just the biggest journey she'll ever take that will change her entire life forever. She kept telling herself that she was ready. Ready for the task. Ready for the change. Ready for anything and everything.

Lester, Ally's father, walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Good morning, sweetie!"

Ally seemed fazed.

Lester moved closer to his daughter and waved his hand in front of her face. "Ally?"

She twitched. "Huh? Oh. Morning, dad."

"Something wrong?" Asked Lester, pouring coffee in his mug.

"Actually." She nodded. "Yeah."

"What is it?"

She hesitated for a moment. Was she really ready for this task? Was she really ready to change her whole life forever?

"Sweetie?"

"Dad, I'm ready."

Lester was taken aback. Maybe Ally was ready, but he sure as heck wasn't. He gulped. "R-really?"

Ally nodded. "Yeah. I mean, I'm 18, it's the summer after my graduation. Why not?"

"Honey… I don't think you're re-"

"-Well, I do!" She shouted back, interrupting her father. She didn't mean to sound so stern, but it just came out. "Dad, my whole life, I've dreamed about finding him. About feeling the warmth coming from my necklace." She touched the star looking pendent hanging from her neck. "About touching his hand for the first time. I've imagined being ready so many times. But, now… I know that I am ready."

"Ally, I-"

"-And I know he's not here. For that fact, anywhere near here. It has to be a journey."

Lester sighed, resting his mug on the counter. "We'll leave this afternoon."

"I'm… I'm sorry. We?" Ally was humiliated at the thought of having her father there while she searched for her true love.

"Yeah." Lester replied in a "duh" tone. "I can't have my only daughter out and about, all alone, leaving state."

Ally's eyes grew wide. She was absolutely horrified. "Dad! Do you not know how embarrassing that would be?"

Lester had a blank expression.

Ally sighed. "Were your parents there when you met mom?"

"Actually, yes. Yes, they were."

"And how did that marriage turn out?"

"In divor- On second thought… maybe I shouldn't go with you. But I still want someone else there."

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'll get Trish to come with me."

Trish - or Patricia - Maria Del a Rosa was Ally's best friend. They've been together since birth. They've talked about food, clothes, hair, but mostly about that special one. That one person that they'll meet that one day. The person who has the missing piece to their necklace. They both have dreamed about that moment for so long, they made a promise to each other.

8 Years Ago

"Trish?"

"Yeah, Ally?"

"Promise me that when either one of us is ready, we'll go find them together."

"I promise."

"No. This can't be just any ordinary promise. This is the time for the Super Duper Trally Promise."

"Ugh, Ally. Not the Super Duper Trally Promise."

"Oh, yeah. The Super Duper Trally Promise."

"Fine."

Trish and Ally took off their shoes and stuck their feet to each other, stood up, grabbed each other's hands, spun around, spit in their hands, and then shook. "I promise." They said in unison.

Ally ran up to the Del a Rosa's door and knocked three times, indicating that it's her.

Trish opened it seconds later. "Hey, Als. What's up?"

Ally rushed through the door and into her best friend's bedroom. "Pack your bags."

Trish giggled slightly, following Ally's footsteps. "What?"

Ally turned around to face her and grabbed her shoulders. "I'm ready."

"You're ready?"

"I'm ready."

"When're we leaving?"

"30 minutes?"

"Perfect."

"Sweet. Meet me at my house."

"Got it."

Ally strutted out the door and into her car. She couldn't help but smile all the way home. She and her best friend were about to set out to find her soulmate. Something that she had dreamed of her whole life. It was finally happening. This was the journey.

So, what did you guys think? Should I continue it?
