Told you this wasn't my last A&A fanfic Hey there Dravenites, welcome to my third A&A story. This time we go back a few years. So, I've written about the birth of Ava, Alex, and less than 96 hours ago; Anastasia. But, what I haven't written about is their wedding…yet

So, this story is a little different to my usual wedding stuff. Why? Because this one deviates from the main timeline. This will become apparent really soon.

But enough formalities, let's get right to the story!

Enjoy!

7 years, Austin Moon, through some sort of miracle, had been with Ally Dawson for 7 years.

Looking back, Austin Moon couldn't believe that this was his life. Record producer, recording artist, actor, model and dancer. And, just like he had been saying for the last 7 years of his life, he couldn't have done it without her…Ally Dawson.

She was the perfect woman for him. She was kind, sassy, smart, sarcastic, absolutely gorgeous and just as talented, if not more, than he was.

Unfortunately, it had taken them over a year to admit their feelings to one another, and even then, the had decided that they were better off as friends, or…so they thought. Even after the whole '' just friends '' phase, the pair still retained feelings for each other. That was until… Gavin Young appeared. Ally, despite her original hesitancy, the brunette eventually took a liking to the country star, eventually dating him for a while.

Austin loathed him however. Sure, the girl he was dating; Piper, was awesome but she was no Ally Dawson. Thankfully at prom, Austin and Ally had dumped their respective partners and gave their relationship another shot, this time however, it had worked out, despite Jimmy Starr releasing Austin from his record deal because he refused to dump Ally.

To Ally, this was the most noble thing she had ever witnessed. It was at this point however that she realized that she and Austin were endgame, and she was sure he knew it too.

So naturally, when they quit being solo artists and became an official duet, Austin knew that he never wanted to lose Ally ever again, and he knew exactly how to do it, and where.

- Paris, France-

Austin currently found himself outside of a premier Parisian jeweler. As Paris was not only the first stop on his and Ally's official first world tour, but also the most romantic city in the world, he saw no better place to buy the ring he hoped his girlfriend would say yes to.

Walking in, Austin noticed a well-dressed clerk. He wore a black pin-stripe suit, his hair slicked black, the gel odor, obvious from even way back where Austin was. He also sported a large scowl as well as a pencil-mustache.

'' Excuse me! I want to buy something for my girlfriend!'' Austin yelled, making the clerk wince.

'' Gah! Stupid American, I speak English. Gah, it is like you send all your stupidest people 'ere'' the clerk scoffed.

'' Oh you speak English?''

'' No, you are having a hallucination. Of course, I speak English, I work in Paris, one of ze most visited cities in ze world'' the clerk soon stopped his rant as he took a look at his customer. ''Allure, Austin Moon no?'' he asked.

'' Yeah, that's me. I'm here to buy an engagement ring.''

'' How original. Listen monsieur Moon, I recommend you get 'er something zat she shall never expect. Might I suggest a FAMAS?''

'' Sorry, I'm buying the most important gift for my girlfriend she'll ever receive. And it has to be perfect'' Austin responded. '' Sky's the limit price-wise. Nothing's too expensive for her.''

'' Ah, young love, it reminds me of my first wife'' the clerk said.

'' Oh, you guys are still together?''

'' No. She left me for some inbred imbecile from Britain. He thought he was better zen me because he had a retirement plan.''

'' Oh, sorry to hear that. But look, I don't want to keep you waiting, I'm sure you'll soon have other customers. Why don't you tell me what you recommend?''

'' Zat you get a prenup before your future wife takes away everything you own.''

'' I meant ring-wise dude.''

'' Uggh, fine. Alright American, based on your clothing, cologne and general appearance, I can assume you are very affluent no?''

'' I mean, I'm not poor-

'' Whatever, look, I suggest zis one. A gold-mesh band mixed with three tourmaline stones. Le magnifique.''

'' You're sure my girlfriend will like it?''

'' She should. Considering what you're about to pay for it'' the clerk smiled, extending out a card machine. Cash or savings?''

Austin sighed and pulled out a black plastic card with golden numbers on it.

Whilst Austin was out hunting for engagement rings, Ally found herself in their hotel room. As weird as it was, she occasionally got a bit sick of performing and just needed to be a normal 25-year-old woman. Unfortunately, she and Austin were constantly being swarmed by reporters left and right, so for the time being, she was stuck indoors like a shut in, otherwise she would have to fight her way through thousands of fans and reporters. Although, the hotel room wasn't exactly that bad of a place to be stuck in. Afterall, who wouldn't choose a Marriott Hotel in Paris as their '' prison''?

Feeling particularly bored, the young musician did something she usually only did when she needed advice from a female perspective; call her mom.

Sitting down, the young woman opened her laptop, opened ZOOM and called her mother. Penny, was currently in Antananarivo studying lemurs. Thankfully for her, she had a decent wifi connection, so the call wasn't too blurry.

'' Hi mom'' Ally said cheerily.

'' There's my little Ally-bear. How's France?''

'' It's amazing. The food is great, the sky is awesome, and the company is even better.''

'' I'll bet. What's it like being part of the biggest power couple in music today?''

'' I really don't see it that way mom. As far as I'm concerned, Austin and I are just a regular couple.''

'' Mhm, sure Ally, sure'' Penny responded sarcastically.

'' What? Its true. You know I don't buy into that whole famous couple crap.''

'' I know dear, I was just messing with you. But in all seriousness, you and Austin have been together for 7 years. Do you think he's going to propose anytime soon?''

'' I don't know. I mean, he hasn't been acting weirder than usual. But in all fairness, I wouldn't exactly mind if he proposed. I mean, we are in the most romantic city on earth'' Ally breathed.

'' Aw, I love, love. I can picture it now, him, proposing under the stars, in front of the Eiffel Tower, getting down on one knee, you, squealing with joy.''

'' Yeah, that does sound amazing'' ally swooned.

'' Well, look, take a leaf out of the book I wrote a few years ago. Don't think, just do. Go out, buy a ring, make a date. You're a strong independent woman. So why not?''

'' You're right. Why don't I, after all, I'm sure he won't say no- my God! What is that?!'' Ally shrieked, pointing to the computer screen.

'' Oh this? This is Lolo, he's an Aye-aye, isn't he cute?'' Penny beamed, a large rodent-like creature suddenly crawling onto her shoulder.

'' No. He looks like a shaved possum. Jesus, that thing looks like it's going to leap out of the screen and shred my face off.''

'' Nice to see that you've gained your boyfriend's lack of filter dear. Now, go buy that boyfriend of yours a ring!''

After the pep-talk from her mother, Ally soon found herself outside of the same jeweler that Austin was previously at. To avoid being swarmed by the media, Ally had taken to wearing a trench coat, sunglasses, as well as a large hat.

Entering, Ally soon caught the attention of the same clerk who had '' helped '' Austin earlier that day.

'' Allure. Hiding from ze police no?'' the clerk smirked.

'' No, just here to buy my…roommate a ring'' Ally answered, putting on a fake country accent to further shield her true identity.

'' Ah, another engagement ring?'' the clerk deadpanned.

'' How did you?-

'' I work in a Parisian jeweler, either you want an engagement ring or a piece of jewelry to make up for something horrible you have just done.''

'' Oh well, I don't think I've done anything to warrant that, just yet.''

'' Mmm. 'Ere is my selection'' the clerk pointed to a glass shelf filled with rings. Some being a basic silver-mesh whilst others were more extravagant, such as a golden band with three red stones inside of it.

'' Oh my God, they're all so beautiful. I, I just don't know which one to pick. Could you give me a hand?''

'' Why? Zis is your roommate, surely you know what they like, no?''

'' No, I do, hold on'' Ally studied the shelf with intensity, her eyes locking onto a specific ring. Silver-mesh band with a large orange stone inside of it.

'' That one'' Ally pointed to the aforementioned band.

'' Garnet, eh? An interesting choice. Very well madame Dawson, cash or card?''

'' Wait, how do you know my last name?''

'' Ugh please, I recognize facial features, also I was at your first world tour concert 'ere in Paris. Jacque Merde, never forgets a face.''

Ally snickered at his name before digging into her purse.

-x-

''There's my Goose Pickle'' Austin smiled, as Ally entered their hotel room.

'' Hey there Cute nickname, enjoying Paris?''

'' I'm here with you aren't I, kinda hard not to.''

'' Aww, I love you'' Ally said, softly kissing her boyfriend.

Once the pair separated, both went to examine the packages that they had bought previously.

'' Hey Alz?'' Austin asked.

'' Yeah?''

'' Why're you wearing your disguise?''

'' Whaat? I'm not wearing a disguise. I just like…trench coats is all'' Ally lied, through her teeth, picking up the ring and putting it in her pocket.

'' Right? Listen I have to ask you something'' Austin said, his hand behind his back, also putting the ring away.

'' Me too'' Ally said quickly.

'' You first'' the pair said, in unison.

'' No, you first'' they repeated.

'' Ok, I'll go. So, Ally, I was wondering, since we're in Paris, shouldn't we visit the Eiffel Tower?''

'' Yeah, sure. I uh, actually had the same idea. I booked us at this restaurant Le Jules Verne for 6 tonight.''

'' Wow, isn't that place inside the tower itself?''

'' Sure is. The wait list is usually huge, but apparently when you're us, people do stuff for you.''

'' I know. Remember our first date once we got back together again? They saw our faces and bumped us up to a table right by the window'' Austin joked.

'' Still better than the first date we went on. Remember?''

'' How couldn't I? How cool are these forks? So cool'' Austin laughed.

'' We were so awkward back then. We could hardly say a thing to each other.''

'' Hey, we're together now aren't we?''

'' Yes we are, and there's nowhere I'd rather be'' Ally said, nuzzling into him.''

'' Same here Goose pickle, same here.''

Later that evening, the couple had changed out of their regular clothes into more formal attires. Austin had gotten dressed in an almost pure black suit, save for the white dress shirt he had on, accompanied by the royal purple tie around his neck. He had slicked back his hair and had put on the watch Lester had bought for him for his 21st birthday.

Ally, had chosen an ankle-length black dress, with the necklace Austin had given her back when they were still teachers at the music factory. She had also put on eyeliner and red lipstick.

Right now, the pair found themselves at a table right next to a window. The scene outside from them was magical, the night sky as clear as it got, a full moon as well as bright stars, decorated the sky.

'' I can't believe it'' Ally said, staring at her boyfriend in front of her.

'' You mean these prices? Who pays this for wine?''

'' Haha, nice to see that my dad's rubbed off on you. But seriously, for French wine, this is actually pretty reasonable.''

'' Speak for yourself'' Austin muttered.

'' I heard that Austin Moon.''

Soon, a waiter appeared, well dressed, slightly resembling the jeweler the pair had seen earlier that day.

'' Welcome to ze Jules Verne. My name is Francois. Allure, I see we 'ave celebrities 'ere zis evening. monsieur Moon and madame Dawson no?''

'' That's us. Please don't make a big deal out of this.''

'' Rest assured monsieur, I 'ave no interest in ruining your evening at our fine establishment. So, might I interest you in some nice wine to start?''

'' Uh, Alz, you order. You know me, I'm more of a beer guy.''

'' Ugh, beer. So, madame Ally. Your chosen vintage zis evening?''

'' 1987 merlot please.''

'' Ah, a classic vintage madame. You clearly know your wine. So, what shall you have zis evening to eat? Monsieur?''

'' Uhm, I'll have the venison, light wine sauce reduction and grilled vegetables please.''

'' An excellent choice monsieur Moon. And for ze beautiful madame Dawson?''

'' Sole fish, grilled with lemon sauce.''

'' Another wonderful selection. Your food preferences are very advanced.''

'' Thanks'' they said in unison.

-x-

Austin, get this off me!"' Ally gasped, playfully.

'' Not yet Goose pickle.''

After dinner, Austin had practically dragged Ally out of the restaurant and out towards a specific area, that he had planned in advance; Parc du Champ-de-Mars. As it was a secret, the man had made Ally put on a blindfold so she wouldn't see anything.

'' Ok, what do you think?'' Austin said, removing the blindfold off of Ally's face.

'' Wow'' Ally gasped, taking in the sights in front of her. The lights of the Eiffel Tower, matched with the glow of nearby street lamps and the Parisian skyline made for a truly awe-inspiring spectacle.

'' Hey Ally?''

'' Yeah baby?''

'' Turn around'' Austin ordered.

'' Seriously?''

'' Come on, just trust me.''

'' Fine'' Ally rolled her eyes, turning around, the box containing the ring she had on her, falling onto the ground.

Austin got down on one knee. '' Ally, ever since I was a kid I knew what I wanted in life. To play Time Square Plaza on New Year's eve, get a record deal, play sold out shows at sports arenas countrywide, I got all those things, but there was one common denominator; you. Look, as a celebrity, dancer, actor, model, record producer and singer, my life's never going to be easy. God knows it'll be a rollercoaster. But I know one thing, as long as I have you in my life, I can do anything I set my mind to. Ally, turn around please.''

Ally turned around and screamed into her hands when she saw what was in front of her.

'' Allison Edgar Dawson, will you make me the happiest man alive, and marry me?''

'' Oh my God, of course yes!'' Ally screamed, tears in her eyes.

For the next two minutes, the pair shared a kiss they would never forget, before breaking apart for air.

'' Oh crap, one thing'' Ally said sniffing.

'' Yeah…fiancée?''

Ally grinned at that word. '' I actually got a ring for you too, I also planned on proposing to you. Guess you beat me to the punch.''

'' Well, where is it?''

Ally dug in her purse and found nothing. '' Holy crap, its gone, its-

'' Ally?''

'' Yeah?''

'' Is this it?'' Austin smirked, holding a box in front of her.

'' It is. Where did you-

'' The ground. So, I know you never proposed to me, but still, here's my answer'' Austin smirked, pulling Ally into a chaste kiss.

Once again, breaking apart, Ally had one more thing to say. '' You know what we have to do now right?''

'' Nope.''

'' Plan this wedding. Thankfully I have a binder back at our apartment for just such an occasion.''

And, scene. Thanks so much for reading guys, it means a whole lot to me. Until next time, stay safe and stay awesome!
