Disclaimer: I don't own Alias or its characters.

Summary: AU. No SD-6 or CIA. Syd and Vaughn are teens who meet in the most unlikely place. S/V.

Authors Notes: First of all BAD SUMMARY, I didn't know what else to write. I thought this fic up when I was walking to work the other morning. I decided that since I know jack squat about LA or America in general, that I was gonna write an Alias fic centred around my little, middle of nowhere town called Mallacoota. (Congrats to kay10197 who was the first to tell me where Mallacoota is. Its about halfway between Sydney and Melbourne, on the coast, East of Cann River. Most of the other characters I'm gonna include are based VERY loosely on people in my town. Names of people have been changed, but the town and places mentioned are basically the same. The house that Syd lives in is a variation of my old house on Mirrabooka Rd. the way I describe it is better than what it was when we lived there, it wasn't built properly and when there was strong winds it felt like the house was gonna collapse. Thankfully we sold it and are living in town now. This chapter is set the day after Boxing Day. Anyway enjoy and let me know what you think.

Chapter 2

Sydney sighed as she looked out towards the street. Tourists had started arriving yesterday and they were run off their feet in the cafe. The town was so packed that you could hardly move because of all the people. She started work at 8:00 that morning and wasn't likely to finish until later that evening. Becky was working today as well, that was Sydney's one consolation, she had someone to talk too. Right now they were both taking a break, sitting at one of the tables inside, having a snack. "I wish I was at the beach" Becky said.

"Oh yeah, it's too hot to work."

"Defiantly, is your dad working today?"

"What do you think? When I got up this morning he'd already left for Merimbula."

"I thought he was working at the Mallacoota office today?"

"Wishful thinking, he had to go to the Merimbula office, wasn't real happy about it either."

"I can imagine. What's your Mum doing?"

"Cleaning the house today, she's on holidays remember."

"I totally forgot about that."
"She teaches you Beck, you should remember. Anyway Dad said something about friends coming down, I dunno, I wasn't really listening."

"Lucky you, at least you'll be working."

"Dad's friends drive me crazy, they're boring and they bring their little kids down with them, so I have to literally lock my door to keep their sons out of my room."

"How old are they?"

"Like fourteen and ten." At that moment Sydney noticed a guy walk through the door. She smiled at him and he approached the table where Syd and Becky were sitting. "Hey" he said.

"Hey" Syd replied cautiously.

"May I?" the guy asked pointing to the empty chair.

"I guess" she replied.

"I'm Michael Vaughn."

"I'm Sydney Bristow and this is my friend Becky Davis."

"Beck" a voice called. Becky turned around and saw Brian, her boyfriend, approaching them "Excuse me" she said as she got up and went over to Brian. Sydney returned her attention to the guy sitting across from her. "Um, look Sydney, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me?"

Sydney looked shocked "Sure, I'd love too. When's good for you?"

"How bout tonight, if it's alright."

"Um, yeah. I'm working till about six, if you wanna meet me here then, we could go somewhere, I don't know where though."
"Sure" he said, a smile on his face "That'd be great. I'll see you then."

"Ok, see you then." Vaughn got up and left Sydney sitting there. Moments later, she got up and grabbed Becky, "We better get back to work."

"Yeah, your still coming to my house for dinner aren't you Brian?" Becky asked as she got up.

"Yep, I'll pick you up here about six?" Becky nodded in reply and walked back behind the counter with Syd. "So, what's with you and that guy?" Becky asked her friend.

"We're going out tonight, he's coming to get me after work."

"He's cute."

"Oh yeah."

"Where are you gonna go?"

"I dunno." A customer cut their conversation short, and both of them began to concentrate on work.

At six o'clock the café was still busy but their boss allowed Sydney and Becky to go home, since they had been working since eight am. Relieved, both girls grabbed their belongings and walked out the front door and onto the still crowded street. Becky automatically spotted Brian and walked off towards him, waving goodbye to Syd, "See you tomorrow morning."
"For sure." Syd replied, they were both required at work at ten the next day. Sydney stood on the street looking for Vaughn but didn't see him. She was just about to start walking home when she spotted him, holding a bunch of flowers. Flashing him a smile Syd walked up to him "Hey Michael."

"Hey Sydney."

"So, where are we going?"

"Well" he began "I took the liberty of ordering Chinese takeaway for us and I thought that we could go somewhere and eat. What do ya think?"

"Yeah, where did you wanna go?"

"I dunno, I don't really know much about this place."

"We could go to Captain Stevenson's Point, its nice there."

"Lets do that then, we better go and get the food. Here." He said as she handed her the flowers.

"Thank you. Do you know where Captain Stevenson's Point is?"
"Wouldn't have a clue, can we walk there, cos if not we can pick up my car."

"No we can walk" Sydney told him as they entered the takeaway. They collected their food and a bottle of soft drink, and began to walk through the camp park towards Captain Stevenson's Point. "Your right, it is nice here" Michael said as they sat on the grass, overlooking the lake. "Yeah, this is one of my favourite places." They began to eat and after a while Michael spoke "So, Sydney, tell me about yourself."

"Ok, I'm seventeen and I've lived here for ten years. I live with my Mum and Dad. I'm an only child and I love to horse ride. What about you?"

"I live in Brighton with my Mum, Dad and little sister. I'm eighteen. I love playing hockey. What do your parents do?"

"Dad's an accountant and Mum's a teacher. What about yours?"

"Mum works in an office and Dad works for the Government."

"Explains why you live in Brighton then."

"I guess it does."

"How long are you here for?"

"Dad's here till January 2nd, Mum and Libby are here till January 6th and I'm here as long as I want."

"Really."

"Yeah my mate Eric Weiss is meant to be coming for New Years but I'm not sure if he'll come. What are you doing for New Years?"

"Dunno, probably going to the beach with Megan, Aimee, Becky and Brian."

"Would you like to go to the beach with me on New Years."

"Sure, that'd be great." Sydney looked over at Michael and noticed him moving slowly towards her. A split second later their lips met. Michael pulled her closer and tangled his hands in her hair; Sydney wrapped her arms around him and buried one of her hands in his hair. After what seemed like an eternity they pulled away, breathing heavily. Sydney looked at him shyly and a moment later they were kissing again. They were interrupted by a female voice "Hey Michael." He pulled away and looked up to see his fifteen-year-old sister, Libby, standing there. "Libby, what do you want?"

"I just saw you and I thought I'd say hi."

"Well hi."

"Who's this Michael? Aren't you going to introduce us?"

"Libby, this is Sydney, Sydney, this is my sister Libby."

"Hi Sydney" Libby replied cheerfully.

"Hey Libby" Syd looked at her watch and realised that she better get home, since she had to work in the morning. "Michael I better go, I have to work in the morning."

"I can give you a lift home if you want."

"Um, sure, that'd be great." They packed up their rubbish and dumped it in a nearby trashcan and headed off to where Michael was camping. Libby followed them, watching as Sydney and Michael held hands. She smiled to herself before leaving "I'm going to see Ashley and Tarni. See you guys later." They both waved to Libby and continued up the dirt road to the Vaughn's campsite "Who are Ashley and Tarni?"

"Libby's friends, they come camping here every year." Sydney nodded. "Here we are." Sydney and Michael walked off the road and into a campsite "I'll just grab my keys."

"Ok" she replied, as he placed a quick kiss on her lips. Sydney heard voices inside the tent and assumed he was talking to his parents. Moments later three people emerged from the tent "Sorry Syd, they insisted that they meet you."

"That's ok."

"Syd this is my mother Bridgette and my father William. Mum, Dad, this is Sydney Bristow."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sydney" Bridgette replied.

"Yes, a pleasure" William added.

"Likewise" Sydney replied sweetly.

"Ok, Mum, Dad I'm just going to take Sydney home now, I'll be back soon." William and Bridgette nodded. Sydney and Michael climbed into his car and he started the engine. "So, where are we going?"

"Mirrabooka Road, do you know how to get there?"

"I think so."

"Go into town, round the roundabout, take the first road to the right, take the next left and then follow that road straight up the hill and I'll tell you when to stop."

"Ok, I've got that" he replied as they headed down the main street. A few minutes later they reached the top of Mirrabooka hill. They drove along the road until Sydney pointed to a house "In there." Michael pulled into the driveway and stopped the car. "Do you wanna come in and meet my parents, its only fair since I met yours."

"Um sure" Michael replied nervously. He turned the engine off and climbed out of the car. Sydney led him around the back and they climbed the stairs onto the veranda. They walked through the door at the top of the stairs and found Jack and Laura talking in the kitchen. "Hey guys."

"Syd, your home, I was wondering where you got too."

"Mum, Dad there's someone I want you to meet. This is Michael Vaughn. Michael, this is my parents Jack and Laura."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Michael" Laura replied cheerfully, Jack eyed him suspiciously before shaking his hand. "Hello Michael."

"Hi. Look Syd I should get back." Sydney nodded.

"I'll walk you out." She put her bag and the flowers Michael had bought on the table before following him down the stairs. "What are you doing tomorrow?" he asked.

"Becky and I are going horse riding before work, you could come if you want."

"What time are you going?"

"6:30. We have to work at ten."

"I don't have a horse."

"You could borrow Gem."

"Who's Gem?"

"My other horse and you could borrow my boots if you wanted."

"Do you have to go so early?"
"Yeah we're working at ten. Come on, I reckon you'd like it."

"Ok" he said after a moment. Sydney smiled in satisfaction. He leaned down and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer. Sydney melted into him and threaded her arms around him. Eventually they broke away, "I'll see you in the morning, what time?"

"6:00, we have to get the horse's ready and then meet Becky at 6:30." Michael nodded, "I'll see you then." He placed another quick kiss on her lips before climbing into the car and driving away. Once he was out of sight Sydney walked back inside. She picked her things up from the table and dropped the bag in her room and took the flowers to put them in water. "So" Laura began "Where did you meet him?"

"He came into the café today and asked me out to dinner. We had a picnic at Captain Stevenson's Point."

"How old is he?" Jack asked.

"Eighteen, he lives in Brighton with his parents and little sister. I'm gonna go to bed, I'm going riding with Becky and Michael in the morning. Good night."

"Night" Jack and Laura replied, as they watched Sydney walk up the hall to her room.
