Hi g-g-g-guys... I'm sorry. I'm just sad. This is the last chapter! This is the final chapter of the entire Auslly series! After this, it's over.
Chapter Disclaimer: This is an Epilogue! It is not a dream. I repeat: It is 15 years into the future.
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally or anything else you might recognize
Alaina's POV/No One's POV
The light coming from the window started to wake Ally up. Her eyes fluttered open, then met her husband's. She yawned. "Good morning."
"Morning? Pfft. It's 12."
"What?! Why didn't you wake me?"
Austin shrugged. "I don't know. It's Sunday afternoon. I just thought that you'd want to sleep."
Ally's eyebrows rose. "You sure it has nothing to do with our anniversary or Addison's birthday?"
"Today's August 12th?" Austin tried to play it cool, but he wasn't fooling Ally.
"Mhm." Ally eyeballed him for a moment then got out of bed. She threw on her robe and followed Austin downstairs. "Happy birthday, Addi!" She said, kissing her daughter's head.
Addison smiled. "Thanks, mom. And happy anniversary to you guys!"
Austin and Ally smiled at each other. "Thank you, princess."
Ally opened the cabinet door and got out some Honey Nut Cheerios. "Y'know, 17 years ago today, your father and I were eating at Fanc-"
"-Ugh, mom... Do you have to do that every year?" Addison interrupted her sentimental mother.
"Yeah, Als. It's getting pretty annoying."
Ally rolled her eyes. "So, doing anything for the big 1.7.?"
"As a matter of fact." She smiled. "We're all going to the mall."
"We're?" Austin asked.
"Lindsey, her boyfriend, Ross, me, and Logan."
Austin sighed. "Ah... Logan, huh?" Logan was Addison's boyfriend of 2 years and counting.
Addison nodded. "Yes, dad... Why can't you just try to like him?"
"I do!" Austin objected. Ally and Addison stared at him. "Ok, so I'm a little hesitant."
"A little?" Ally scoffed. "You brought the poor boy down just by a handshake!"
Addison started to laugh.
"Ok, fine. I will like him once he starts to take an interest in music."
"Speaking of music..." Ally said, slowly, walking next to Addi. "What's this?"
Addison slammed her hand on top of her mother's. "Don't touch my book!"
Ally raised her hands in surrender. "Sorry. Sorry."
"Remind you of anyone?" Austin whispered to Ally, smiling. She stuck her tongue out.
There was a honk from outside. "Gotta go!" Addison said, grabbing her purse. "Love you guys."
"Love you, too. Hey, be home by 6!"
"Ok!"
Ally sat down to eat her cereal when Amber stomped inside. "Ashton, SHUTUP!" She ran upstairs and slammed her door.
"What was that about?" Ally asked as Ashton came inside and closed the front door.
Her 15 year old son shrugged. "I dunno. Something about August."
"What about August?" Austin continued to ask.
"Well... I kinda..." Ashton started to mumble.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I kinda mentioned to him that Amber has a crush on him."
"Which I don't!" Amber yelled from upstairs.
Ally sighed, closing her eyes. "Why would you do that?"
"Becau-" Ashton paused, then started to talk in a quieter voice. "Because it's true."
"And, how do you know it's true?" She asked her brown haired boy.
"C'mon, mom." He scoffed. "I live in the room right next to hers and you expect me not to eavesdrop?"
Austin snickered.
"Plus... Winnie told me that August has a crush on her, too."
Winnie was born to Trish and Dez on November 24th, 2023. They were over the moon, as was August.
"Really...?" Ally was skeptical. "Winnie told you that?"
Ashton nodded. "I just don't understand why she's so upset."
Ally giggled. "Ash... She's a teenage girl. Plus... I think that August is her first crush."
Austin's face went from cheerful to red with rage. He started to clench his fist. "Well, August can go ahead and stuff that -"
"-Ok!" Ally interrupted him.
Ahston laughed. "Well, Imma go Gram-Chat Cole." He said, running upstairs.
"Gram-Chat" was a fairly new addition to technology. In 2030, Pear came out with the myTab hologram phone. It enabled you to actually see the person you were talking to. People being socially awkward became less and less known throughout the years.
At the mall
"Uh, Lindsey, I love that top you have there." Addison said with a smile.
"Oh, thanks! I-" Lindsey turned around and gasped, looking at the same top in Addi's hand. "Oh my gosh!"
"Twinzies!" They said in unison.
"Barfzies." Ross whispered to Logan.
Logan snickered. "For realzies."
"Oh, shutup, babies. We told you... If you just spend a little bit more time here, we'll go wherever you guys want to go." Addison reminded her boyfriend and her bestfriend's boyfriend. "We just have to be back at my house by 6."
"Why?" Ross asked.
"Because it's my parents' anniversary."
"But, I thought today was your birthday." Ross was a little on the slow side.
Addison rolled her eyes and was about to say something, when Lindsey butted in. "She was born on her parents' anniversary."
"Oooohhhh." He said as Lindsey patted his back.
At the house
Ashton knocked on his sister's door.
"What?" An irritated Amber yelled.
"Can I come in?"
She rolled her eyes and sighed, not wanting him to, but got up to answered the door anyway. "Yeees?"
"Sorry?" Ashton semi-questioned, holding up Addison's song book.
His twin opened her mouth in shock. "How did you-"
Ashton covered her mouth. "Sssshhhh! Mom and dad aren't supposed to know." He raised an eyebrow. "Forgive me?"
"Absolutely!" Amber grabbed the book out of his hand and opened it up. Ashton grabbed the guitar that was in her room.
"What looks good?"
"Uhhh..." Amber flipped around. "Ooh! This one does!" She exclaimed, pointing to the song labeled, Who Will I Be
Ashton smiled. "Perfect." He started to play the acoustic guitar.
Who will I be?
It's up to me
All the never ending possibilities
That I can see
There's nothing that I can't do
Who will I be?
Ally opened the door. "Did you guys write that?"
The twins hurried to close the book and sit on top of it, acting completely unnatural. "No."
"Yes."
They looked at each other.
"Yes."
"No."
Ally smirked. "Ok... then..."
"What did you want?" Asked Amber.
"Trish, Dez, August, and Winnie should be here in about 5 minutes."
"Ok."
"So, I was thinking..." Dez started, talking to the kids while Trish, Austin, and Ally were in the kitchen. "that you guys should play something for them."
"Like what?" Winnie asked. "August and I can't do anything."
"Speak for yourself. I play the drums." August announced, proudly.
"Winnie, don't you sing?" Amber asked.
"Well, yeah... But, you sing way better."
"You can sing harmony!"
Dez clapped his hands. "Perfect! So, August will play the drums, Winnie and Amber will sing, and Ashton w-"
"-Will play the guitar and base." Ashton interrupted his godfather.
"How're you going to manage that?" Asked his twin.
He smirked. "Don't worry. I always have a way."
"Duuude! There are so many cars here!" Addison exclaimed as the four pulled into her driveway.
"Uh, Addison!" Dez yelled, walking up to their car.
"Dez, what're you -"
"-Ssshhh." He said as he grabbed her arm and started to pull her towards the garage.
"Why are we going to the -"
"-Just trust me." Dez looked at Lindsey, Ross, and Logan and gestured to the front door. Once he and Addi got into the garage, he put a blindfold on her.
"Dez?!" She yelled.
"Addison?" A blindfolded Ally asked.
"Mom? What are you doing in here?"
"Same reason I'm in here." Austin said, crossing his arms. "Dez, why do we have these on?"
"Oh, no reason... Juuusstt..." Dez opened the door and pushed them in the kitchen. "This!"
August started to play a wicked beat as the three took their blindfolds off. Ashton played his bassitar - It's like a two neck guitar, but one neck is a base. - and Winnie and Amber started to sing. "Happy anniversary and birthday to you!" Everyone joined in. "Happy anniversary and birthday to you! Happy anniversary and birthday mom, dad, and Addisoooooon. Happy anniversary and birthday to yyyyyoooooouuuuuuu!"
They all smiled at the room full of friends and family. "Thank you guys so much!"
"Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming." Ally went around, thanking everyone for such a wonderful surprise. "Thank you f- Piper and Dallas!"
"Happy anniversary, Als!" Dallas hugged her.
"Thank you! I'm so glad you guys are here and are happy."
"Of course we're happy. Why wouldn't we be?" Piper asked.
"Weeelllll." Ally started to think back...
Flashback Ally's POV
"I can't believe you, Austin!" I yelled as I slammed the door open. Unfortunately, he was right behind me the entire time.
He followed my motions. "Ally, if you would just let me expla-"
"- No, Austin. I'm done hearing your stupid excuses! This has happened too many times for me to-"
My rant was interrupted by the 14 year old birthday girl. How and when did she get home? "-Sssshhhh! Can you guys keep it down? I'm trying to study!"
We kinda just ignored her. "All those excuses were true!" Austin defended.
"Oh, bull crap!" By that time, I think Addison had run up to her room.
"Ally, Piper came on to me!"
"Oh, I've heard that before." I waved him off.
"Would you just let me-"
"-No! Now, you listen to me. This has happened three other times! Just because Dallas and Piper are divorced now, DOES NOT mean you can kiss her whenever you wa-"
"-Ally, that is SO not what happened!"
I crossed my arms and huffed. "Austin. I don't think I can take this much longer."
"What do you mean?"
I shook my head. "I'm done."
His shoulders dropped. "Don't say it."
I nodded as I started to walk upstairs. "Pack your things."
End of flashback
What a terrible dream that was. Ally realized how wrong that dream was. That was their 15th anniversary, now it's their 18th. And everything couldn't be better. Their marriage was stronger than ever, they had close bonds with their children, and with they're friends. It was perfect.
Dallas sliced his hand in front of her face. "Ally?"
She shook out of it. "Sorry. I just... A while ago, I had a dream that you two were divorced. But, that dream was wrong. Totally and completely wrong." Ally smiled.
"If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile. If you wanna fly, I will be your sky. Anything you need, that's what I'll be. You can come to me." Austin and Ally sang as everyone listened and socialized.
Logan walked up to Addison. "Hey."
Addi smiled. "Oh my gosh, they're so embarrassing."
"Nah, they're cool. I would love to have famous parents."
Addison stared at her boyfriend. "They were famous 21 years ago..."
Logan snickered. "Still... Y'know, you look really pretty."
She pushed her hair behind her ear. "Thanks. I was trying out this new eye shadow and-"
"-I didn't mean tonight. I meant always."
She blushed as she hugged him. They stared into each other's eyes and leaned in for a kiss. A kiss turned into a full on make-out scene.
Trish came up. "Ahem."
The couple pulled apart and blushed as Trish smirked.
"So take a breath and let it go. And try to have a little hope, cuz someone's gonna be there when you don't. When you don't."
"August? Can I talk to you?" Amber asked, walking up to him.
He nodded and followed her to the kitchen. "Was'up?"
She hesitated as she looked down. "I- I... I-"
August interrupted her by grabbing her hand and smiling. "-I like you, too."
Amber looked down at their intertwined hands, and then back up at him. "Really?"
"Yeah."
The two shared a moment just staring into their eyes.
"We should get back." She awkwardly laughed.
"Let's go." They got up, not letting go of each other's hands, and walked back into the living room.
"Like a chain that never breaks. Like a truth that never bends. Like a glue that takes your broken heart and puts it back again. It's the feeling that you get, it's the moment that you know, that no matter what the future holds you'll never be alone!"
"Y'know..." Ashton said, scootching closer to Winnie. "Addison has a boyfriend." He looked back at August and Amber, holding hands and swaying back and forth. "Your brother and my sister look like they're together. It's only a matter of time before we-"
"-Nope."
"Didn't think so." He looked at her and laughed. She joined in.
"If you wanna climb, I'll be your ladder. If you wanna run, I'll be your road. If you wanna friend, doesn't matter when. Anything you need, that's what I'll be. You can come to me. You can come to me, yeah."
Austin and Ally looked deep into each other's eyes and then shared a powerful kiss.
