Ally Dawson seemed like any other 18-year-old girl, except for the fact that she was Austin Moon's song writer. She had always grown up loving music and had aspired to become a famous song writer. She also dreamed of going off to music school to learn even more about music. She helped run her dad's music store called Sonic Boom. That is also where her, Austin, Dez, and Trish would meet up for their weekly meetings to discuss Austin's career. Things couldn't be going any better for the young song writer. Her dad's shop was going great, since business was booming ever since Austin had performed there.

One evening Ally was closing the store. She had done most everything up stairs except clean up the break room. Every time Austin, Dez, and Trish was up there, they would leave a mess. She sighed as she cleaned up the break room. She soon walked out of the break room and heard something pop down in the main part or the store. She stopped and looked around but didn't see anything. So, she, in turn, brushed it off, and shrugged her shoulders as she thought it was the store settling. She continued with her cleaning and was soon done. Ally headed towards the front door to lock it; she didn't know that someone else was already in the store.

As Ally closed, she was not worried about a break in or any danger like that. In the dark quiet store Ally was alone with her thoughts. In her head she was writing a new song for Austin. Her brain was always in song mode even if her body was in cleaning mode. She loved her friends but being the most mature and responsible usually left her alone with the clean up.

Her father did not always make Ally close the store alone but this time he had to make her do it. Ge trusted his daughter with the store. It was a family business and Sonic Boom was like her home. Not being used to the procedures of closing the store, Ally forgot to lock the front door at 10pm when it closed, instead she started cleaning, counting her register and all the other closing tasks. When she remembered she had not locked the door it was all ready to late for her.
