A/N: Just a thought of a story that went in my mind, I won't be updating frequently so I will be updating once in a while. Disclaimer: I do not own Austin and Ally and any of the original characters of it. I do own my own characters.

Chapter One

Five years had passed since they left her behind. Three years ago she lost contact with them. The long distance friendship had been too much for them, and so they stopped contact with her altogether. In their eyes, she was just the shadow of their past. It hurt her deeply for a month those three years ago, but she found out she could no longer engulf herself in sadness and abandonment. This very person who is abandoned by her friends is Ally Dawson. The ones that left her are Austin Moon, Trish de la Rosa, and Dez. Austin Moon became famous like he wanted with Trish as his manager and Dez making his music videos. The one who replaced her as Austin Moon's songwriter and support is Cassidy. Yes, the one who Austin Moon asked out once in their teen years but had to leave with her band because of a record deal.

Ally had once been jealous of the news when Austin told her about it, but she stayed strong, thinking it was temporary until they kicked her out of their lives three years ago. She didn't truly disliked Cassidy. She was a nice girl and beautiful as well. Someone like her was perfect for someone like Austin Moon. She couldn't help but giggle at the memory of him taking the job at Melody Diner and singing to Cassidy as a way to ask her out. The memory of the chaos from trying to make the music for said song made Ally smile. Ally shook her head at the thought. It was just a memory, and it no longer pained her. She had her life, and she was moving on.

She went to MUNY for four years and got her Bachelor of Music degree and went back to Miami to help out her father at Sonic Boom. Yes, the place is still there. And ever since Austin Moon became widely recognized, tourists would come to see his hot spots in Miami. Her father had been too busy ever since Ally went to MUNY and rarely ever got the chance to go to conventions. Even with the booming business, he only hired one person. His name is Eddie Kyles, a guy who just graduated from high school. He needed the money, and Lester Dawson hired him because he liked music and he treats the instruments with care.

Ever since Ally got back to Miami last year, she had a long list of students who wanted her to teach them how to play a musical instrument. The students consisted of old and new customers like a boy named Nelson. Though he had grown, the boy hasn't changed. He had the same quirks like his famous line, "Oh narts!" There was also Jimmy Starr's son. He came back to be taught by Ally as well.

Things were getting better for Ally when she met her friends: Alton Sky, Dan Barrons, and Trina Rose that year.

Alton reminded Ally of Austin. He had blonde hair that flops in just the right way. He has a love for music, and he is fun just like Austin. The difference is he has sea green eyes unlike Austin's chocolate brown eyes. She is also his songwriting partner. Unlike Austin, Alton shared part of his own work with Ally. He was good with the melodies and notes but he wasn't good with the words that goes with it.

Dan is Alton's best friend. He reminds her of Dez. He is always quirky and crazy at times, but he is quite a sage when need be. He is also into filmmaking. The difference between Dan and Dez is that Dan wears dark clothing and a spiky dog collar. He is the kind that people would call punk rocker. But to Ally, he would always be Dan no matter what.

And of course, Trina Rose is Ally's best gal friend. Trina is like Trish of the group. She's got that spunky attitude that people won't mess with. Though she was no Latino, she could basically roughen a person up if she wants to. Sadly, though, she couldn't stay in a job for too long because she gets into trouble when someone irritates her.

Ally knew she was replacing her old friends with her new friends, but she needed the closure and to fill in the empty spots Austin, Dez, and Trish left behind. She even told Alton, Dan, and Trina that as well. Surprisingly, they seemed fine with it and they had the ultimate friendship. And slowly, Ally found herself no longer needing them as replacements. She loved them for who they are. It was this sudden realization that made her realize she finally moved on.

"Hey Ally," yelled a loud and excited voice.

Ally turned from wiping the counter and smiled when she saw who it was. There stood a tall blonde guy with sea green eyes smiling and waving at her. He ran up to her and hugged her. She squealed from the sudden hug and giggled. He pouted when Ally didn't return the hug. She giggled and shook her head and hugged him in return. He smiled brightly and let go of her.

"Guess what?" Alton asked, his eyes bright with joy.

Ally smiled and said, "What?"

"My video is number one again," he told her the good news, jumping up and down like a child. Ally giggled once again at his excitement.

"Congratulations, Alton," she told him. He smiled from ear to ear, and Ally and Alton soon did their secret handshake only she, Alton, and Dan would know. Trina, on the other hand, found it wasn't her thing.

"Hey, guess what?" A voice yelled and Alton and Ally turned to see Dan walking in. The sound of his chain hitting against his pants trailed with him.

"What Dan?" Alton asked.

"Your music video is number one again," Dan answered. The three cheered and Dan and Alton did their secret handshake.

"Yeah, I know. Alton told me about it," Ally said, giggling. Not two minutes later, she saw Alton and Dan already playing with the music instruments when she warned them not to. They were easily bored, it seems.

"Look, Ally. I can play the harp and play the piano," Alton said excitedly. His feet played the piano while he played the harp with his hands. Ally made a face to see his bare toes touching the piano keys.

"Ew. Don't do that," she scolded him slapping his leg lightly for him to get his feet off. He stopped and pouted.

"And I was getting to the good part," he whined.

"Yeah, and I was starting to get to gagging part," she retorted. She started cleaning the piano keys using her cleaning supplies.

Dan already stopped playing the instruments by then and started eating a sandwich while spinning the hula hoop around his waist. Ally was rather surprised at how easy he made that look. Ally couldn't spin the hula hoop around her waist to save her life.

"Good job, Dan, but there's no eating in the shop," Ally told him while wagging her finger.

"Aww, you are no fun at all," Dan whined and let the hula hoop and the sandwich drop to the ground. Ally rolled her eyes, wondering why Dan let go of the sandwich as well. She didn't let it bother her for too long until Dan picked up the sandwich and started licking at it.

"Ew. That's disgusting, Dan!" Ally shouted. Dan shrugged.

"You said don't eat it, so I might as well lick it," Dan answered before he stood in front of the shop's door and gobbled the sandwich up.

Ally looked dismayed and then looked over at Alton for answers as to the reason why Dan is... well, Dan. Just as she looked over at Alton, Alton was already giving the thumbs up at Dan. Ally rolled her eyes and decided to let it be.

Suddenly, Ally heard Dan's shriek and thump. She turned to the door again and saw Trina coming in. Ally knew Trina must have pushed Dan to the floor. She swore Trina and Dan were like Trish and Dez.

"Look who has a job at Burger Kong," Trina said with a proud smile. She wore the signature Burger Kong's burger hat, and she wore the orange and white checkered uniform with black pants while wearing the black apron with Burger Kong's logo on it. Ally's right eyebrow went up questioningly at Trina while she stared at her oddly.

"What happened to working at Eazy Breezy Perfume?" Ally asked. Trina shrugged uncaringly.

"Eh, one of the customers annoyed me. She asked me about these two perfumes she was having a hard time picking, and I gave her a third option because she kept on jabbering at me about the pros and cons of both perfumes. And I told the lady, 'Well, if you can't choose. Choose this.' I handed her the lavender and vanilla one. She kept on telling me she doesn't like lavender, and then started jabbering on about why she doesn't like it. She started pissing me off and I yelled at her to freaking pick one or else I will spray the lavender and vanilla perfume on her. She told on me to the manager and I got fired," Trina explained. Dan was already standing just as she began. Ally stared speechless at her. But knowing her for months, it shouldn't be that surprising to her.

"Oh, um... okay," Ally could only say.

"Lavender smells nice though. There's someone I know that smells like lavender, and she smells great. It's the perfect scent for her," Alton said, grinning happily at Ally. Ally looked at him questioningly but didn't try to ask.

"O-kay, Alton. That was a little creepy," Ally told him. Alton shrugged and put an arm on Ally's right shoulder.

"I know, but I'm the handsome creepy kind," Alton said before showing off his cheesy grin. Ally rolled her eyes, but she couldn't help but giggle.

"Yes, Alton. Yes, you are," she replied and gave her own cheesy grin before tapping her finger on his nose.

"Now, as much as we know Alton is the handsome creepy guy," Dan started, "Has anyone seen my pet turtle? I kind of lost Dylan somewhere." Dan stared at the ground, his body leaning down to make an upside down L shape.

Alton looked at him questioningly and said, "You don't have a pet turtle, Dan."

"Yes, I do. I named him Dylan," Dan corrected him. Alton just shook his head at Dan, finding him hopeless. As if knowing what he is thinking, Ally retorted in her mind that he was more helpless than Dan.

She was startled out of her thoughts when the doors suddenly opened to reveal three people wearing big black coats, black sunglasses and a hat. It looked like they were trying to catch some air from running too much when they got inside. When they found their breaths, the three looked up. Ally jumped from the sudden appearance of the three strangers. She looked over at Alton for help, but Alton's eyes seemed to glow with excitement towards them.

"Cool! You guys look like the bad guys in those movies," Alton said, pointing at the three.

"Hey, um... you don't mind if we hid here, do you?" The guy in the middle asked, ignoring what Alton had just said about them.

Ally looked at the guy in the middle with concentration when she heard his voice. It sounded familiar to Ally's ears. It wasn't until several seconds later her eyes widened and her mouth opened agape.

"Au-Austin? Austin Moon?" Ally asked, her voice shaking from calling out his name.
