A/N: Hi there! You may proceed to read on!

Thank you to Anne and WinterFairy7337 for their valuable time and help.

I do not own Austin & Ally.

"Well, if it isn't perfect Miss Ally Dawson early for class," smirked Trish as Ally stepped into the classroom.

Ally rolled her eyes. "Trish? You got another detention?" she shot back.

"It's not my fault that my homework dislikes staying in my bag."

Ally shook her head as she laughed at the girl. The two of them had known each other since they were little. Although they ran in different circles at school, their relationship remained pretty good.

Ally started to arrange her textbooks and stationery before she realised that she had left one of her books in her locker. "Damn it."

"Did you just cuss?" said Trish amusedly.

Ally ignored her and rushed out to get her book before the bell rang.

Hastily rifling through her locker, she found her book sitting wide open on the top shelf. She shut it quickly before turning around to return to class. In her rush to find her book, she had failed to notice the tall boy standing on the other side of her locker. She ended up crashing into him.

Ally collided into a hard chest and promptly fell backwards; thankfully the other person had caught her just in time. She looked up to find herself staring into a pair of brown eyes fringed by blond hair. It was one of the new students!

The guy smiled brightly at her, as if he knew her. Ally blushed as soon as she realised that she was still in his arms. She quickly righted herself and thanked him for saving her.

"I'm Ally," she lifted her hand to shake his. He suddenly had a look of devastation on his face. She wasn't sure what had caused it. Was he ok? She was distracted by the bell that signalled the end of lunch and hurriedly rushed off after thanking him once again.

Austin and Dez headed over to their lockers to collect their books for the next class. When they found that they were only two lockers apart, they both silently agreed that luck appeared to be on their side today. One of the lockers between theirs apparently belonged to a girl who was currently searching for something in it.

As Austin grabbed a textbook and slammed his locker shut, he turned around only to crash into the girl with the locker next to him. The impact caused her to tip backwards. His quick reflexes allowed him to grab onto her waist before she could fall onto the floor, only to find himself looking into the familiar face of his lost love.

Ally.

A bright smile slowly formed on his lips.

There was just no mistaking the girl's dark brown eyes and chestnut hair. He had finally found her. His Ally. She blushed that adorable red he loved on her cheeks. But what she did next, made his world crash all over again.

He stared at the hand that she had lifted in greeting. She obviously did not recognise him. Why? How? No. Those things did not matter anymore. What mattered was that he had found her. And he would try with all his might to bring her back to him.

He looked over at Dez after she had rushed off to class. The ginger had a look of surprise on his face. Since Ally was here, it could mean that Trish was too. They both smiled at each other in hope.

As classes ended for the day, Ally made her way back to her locker.

"Greetings!" the blond guy from before stood there, smiling.

"Uh, hi?"

"My name is Austin," he introduced himself.

"And, as I said before, I'm Ally," she raised her hand to shake his, but was surprised when he bowed and kissed her hand instead.

"This is Dez," he continued, pointing at the redhead. Dez greeted her the same way Austin did.

She blushed considerably after the gentlemanly gestures. She had the sudden, mysterious urge to curtsey in return.

"Move, Dawson, your hand smooching fest is in the way of my locker," a female voice teased.

Ally blushed a deeper red, and turned to face the girl who occupied the locker in between hers and Dez's. Trish was smirking in amusement at the entire scene.

"Sorry about blocking your locker," laughed Ally as she rolled her eyes at Trish who was grinning at her playfully. The girl then proceeded to open her locker and stuff her things in.

Ally turned back to face the guys to find them looking in surprise at Trish. Dez was wearing a bright smile that mirrored the one Austin had on his face previously when he had caught Ally from falling.

"Will you introduce your friend to us?" Austin smiled at her.

"Sure. Trish, this is Austin and Dez. Guys, this is Trish."

Trish glanced back at the two who had extended their hands out in greeting to her. She then rolled her eyes and said a quick hi before turning back to her locker and ignoring them.

Ally smiled and turned back to the two, "Don't mind her, she doesn't take well to strangers. You'll realise that she's actually really nice when you know her better."

"We do hope to get to know her better," agreed Dez. Trish closed her locker and took a better look at the two. Though cute, she still found them extremely weird and creepy.

"Hey, Trish," a voice whispered into her ear from behind. She smiled as Trent planted a kiss on her cheek and looped his arms around her.

"Hey back at you."

"Oh hey, I see you've met my new buddies, Austin and Dez!" said Trent.

"Yes, I have," replied Trish, looking back at the guys. Austin had an expression of surprise, and Dez…Dez had a murderous frown on his face and his jaw was clenched. Well, that was odd. Trish briefly wondered what had gotten into him before Trent started to drag her away.

"Well, let's go," he said, gently pulling Trish along as he waved goodbye to the bunch.
