<~Ally's POV:
I can't believe we are moving to Los Angeles. Actually, I'm kind of excited. As a little girl I could only dream of living there. For sure I'm ready to get out of this little house. It's too small. We've always had the money to get a big house, but we never did. Not until now.
I suppose Austin and I will have to break the news to Annie. I'm really curious to how she'll react. She just started school here and made some new friends and now she's already leaving them.
"Annie! Can you come here for a moment!" I called.
Annie skipped out of her bedroom.
"What is it? I was in the middle of playin with my barbie dolls and Susie is gonna get a new puppy!" She sighs impatiently. (A/N: Susie is a doll by the way.)
"We're going to move to Los Angeles." I tell her, although she may not understand.
"Los Angeles?" Annie giggled, "Where's that?"
"In California. It's a long ways from here." I explain best I can.
"Can I call it Califlower?" Annie giggles, making the situation a joke.
"Sure sweetheart." I laughed and gave her a hug.
Annie hugs me back before skipping back to her room while shouting, "We're going to Califlower! We're going to Califlower!"
Austin passes by carrying some full boxes, "Califlower?" He asks confused.
I smiled, "She wants to call it Califlower." I giggled.
Austin chuckles, "Califlower. I like it."
~~~~~~~~~~
You'd be surprised what you find when your putting all your things in boxes.
So far I've found: a $50 bill, my old teddy bear, a quilt my great grandma made, Austin's old skateboard, and so much more stuff. I can't even remember it all!
I glanced around the room, corner to corner. It was all packed except for my old dresser and everything in it. I don't know why I bothered to keep it. It just had so much sentimental value to me.
I opened the first drawer, which was empty. The second one was too. But the third one had lots of stuff. And then I found it. One of the most specialist things to me...my book!
I pulled the dusty, brown, leather journal out of the dressed and blew all the dust off, revealing the big A on it. Oh how I've missed my book!
I opened it and memories flooded my brain. I used to write about everything in here. But the older I got the less I wrote until I stopped writing in it completely.
I sighed and opened up to the next blank page. I reached for the pen sitting on the table. I want to write one last thing before I leave Miami.
Thursday, September 16
Today I was packing to move to Los Angeles. I was hesitant about the idea at first, but then remembered that Los Angeles is the place where dreams come true! Except being a movie star is no longer my dream. I'm already living my dream. I have someone to love, someone to love me, and a beautiful little girl. Nothing could get any better. I'm worried though, Los Angeles is a land of fame and fortune...that's Austin's dream. Maybe he might forget me and move on with his fame. That's my biggest fear. I just...can't. This is probably the last time I will be writing in Miami. I'm going to miss this place.
Goodbye Miami,
Ally Moon.
I smiled at my new signature. I was tempted to write Dawson...but I was more tempted to write Moon. I closed my book and packed it into the box. Happy to finally have found it. It felt really good to have written in it once more.

Within a day or two the whole house had been cleaned and packed up, except for Annie's room. The little stinker refuses to allow anyone to pack any of her stuff. Now she doesn't want to move anymore.
"Annie, you have to pack up all your toys so they can move with us." Austin tells Annie.
"But I don't want to move!" Annie protests.
I lay on the couch and close my eyes. I'm dead tired. I haven't slept more than four hours for a few days.
I hear footsteps and Austin is walking with Annie to the door. They both put their shoes on.
"Where are you going?" I asked, half asleep.
"To get ice cream. She told me if I get her ice cream then she will pack up her things." Austin informed me.
"Okay." I yawned, "Bye then."
"We'll be back in like ten minutes." Austin says and then the door slams shut.
I'm all alone...it's quiet, perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
<~Austin's POV:
I held Annie's hand as we waited in line for ice cream. Usually I would never wait in a line this long, but I promised Annie so I guess I don't have a choice.
"What kind do you want?" I ask Annie, looking down at her.
"I want chocolate." She says.
Finally it was our turn to order.
"I'll have- Cassidy!" I trailed off, forgetting the whole ice cream thing when I see I'm facing my old crush, Cassidy.
"Austin! Wow! How've you been?" She asks. We hug awkwardly from over the counter.
"I'm great. Ally and I got married and this is our daughter Annie." I introduced her to Annie but she wasn't standing next to me anymore.
"Shit." I mutter, "Where did she go!" I start looking around for her.
"You said a bad word!" Annie tattled on me. She was in the kitchen part making her own ice cream.
"Annie, get out of there!" I scolded her.
She smiles and shakes her head, "Nah, I think I'll stay here for a while." She sasses, licking her fingers. She was covered in ice cream.
Cassidy laughs, doesn't she care at all that she's back here?
I grumbled as I swung my legs over the front counter to go get Annie.
"Your not going to get me!" She giggled and dodges me every time I try to grab her.
"Annie, you better stop right now! This is embarrassing." I demanded. Finally I catch her and pick her up angrily.
"Your never getting ice cream again." I say, angrily.
"Bye Cassidy. I said as I walked out the door.
People starred at us, and not in a good way. Well at least we're moving away, they aren't gonna remember this. Hopefully.

"Daddy was talking to another girl!" Annie runs to tell Ally. She was asleep on the couch. But once she heard all the shouting she woke up.
"Why are you all full of ice cream! What happened to you!" Ally exclaimed, examining the ice cream all over Annie.
"Daddy was talkin to another girl, but don't worry I got him to stop." Annie repeats assuringly.
So that's why she did it...to get me to stop talking to Cassidy?
"Sweetie, I don't care if daddy talks to girls." Ally says and Annie's face falls, "But I would like to know why your covered in ice cream." Ally says.
"She got a hold of the all the ice cream makers and made her own ice cream." I answered from the other side of the room.
Ally laughs a little, before becoming serious again, "Don't ever do that again."
Annie crosses her arms, "Sorry mommy." She mutters.
"Now go upstairs and get ready to take a bath, I'll be up in a moment to help you." Ally sighs.
"Oh and daddy also said a bad word!" Annie tattles on me again as she skips away upstairs.
She's totally against me!
"What did you say?" Ally asks curiously.
"All I said was shit, because I couldn't find her." I explain.
"So who were you talking to?" Ally asks, leaning her head on my shoulder.
"Cassidy. She must have moved back from LA." I reply, "Are you mad?" I ask her.
"No. Well not at you." Ally giggles. I laugh along with her.
"Why don't you start packing Annie's things while I help her take a bath." Ally suggests and I agree.
