In the series premiere of Austin & Ally, titled "Rockers & Writers," we are introduced to the titular characters, Austin Moon and Ally Dawson. Austin (played by Ross Lynch) is a confident and charming teenage singer who dreams of becoming a famous musician, while Ally (played by Laura Marano) is a shy and talented songwriter who has a fear of performing in front of others.
The episode begins with Austin performing at a local mall, where he catches the attention of Ally, who is working at a music store. After accidentally destroying a giant poster of Austin, Ally is forced to make it up to him by giving him a demo of one of her songs. Austin is immediately taken with the song, and convinces Ally to perform it with him at a big gig he has coming up.
Despite her fears, Ally agrees to perform with Austin, and they spend the next few days rehearsing together. Along the way, they face a number of obstacles, including a noisy neighbor who disrupts their practice sessions and a group of bullies who steal Austin's guitar.
Despite these setbacks, Austin and Ally are able to overcome their fears and put on a successful performance at the gig. The crowd loves their song, and Austin's manager, Trish, immediately offers to sign Ally as a songwriter.
With this success under their belts, Austin and Ally realize that they make a great team and continue to work together on their music. The episode ends with the two of them writing a new song together, ready to take on whatever challenges come their way.
