Wow. I know, I shouldn't be starting another story, but I had this idea, and I just had to write if before I forgot about it. So, here's chapter 1! BTW, Phantom Planet didn't happen. The last episode of WOWP didn't happen either (Who Will be the Family Wizard?). Is that what is was called? Also, I set Alex's, Justin's and Max's ages to 14, 17, and 12. (Alex-14, Justin-17, Max-12) Enjoy!


"OK kids. Today we are going to learn about ghosts," Jerry tells his kids. Alex rolls her eyes and continues listening to her iPod she is hiding in her sweatshirt. Max messes with a pink colored potion in a bottle while Justin quickly and frantically scribbles down notes. "I have gone and gotten some over the most simple ghosts I could find, so say hello to the, uh, octo-, um octopuses!" Jerry reveals two green octopus like ghosts and Alex can't help but to laugh.

"Wow, dad! Ghosts are white not green! Did you go scuba-diving again?" Alex asks, walking around the ghosts, her laughing eyes never leaving them.

"Alex! This is very important! If you don't learn this, you will never pass your wizard exam that lets you take a part of the Wizard Competition!" Jerry tells his laughing fourteen year old daughter. Justin at age seventeen sighs, while Max at age twelve still shows interest only in the bottle. That is when a ghost flys into their lair and sucks the two ghosts in a thermos.

"Is everyone OK?" It asks.

"No! You ruined our lesson, and now how will my kids pass their wiz-I mean, test!" Jerry yells furiously at the ghost, that then flys out the room. "Well, thanks to that mean ghost, the lesson is over," Jerry says, and Alex rushes out of the room.

"Hey guys! That house across from us is no longer for sale!" she calls excitedly.

"So," Justin replies. "Unless a genius lives there, I don't care!"

"Well, I'm gonna see if anyone our age lives there. Wanna come Max?"

"Sure Alex, but if there are any girls there, forget it!" Max responds to Alex and fallows her out the door. They walk across the street and to the house that is no longer for sale. Alex rings the doorbell and there is no answer. They are about to leave, when a boy, about fourteen, answers the door.

"Hi, I'm Danny Fenton," the boy, now known as Danny, says. "We just moved here from Amity Park."

"I'm Alex Russo, and this is my brother Max Russo," Alex responds to him.

"Wanna come in?"

"No thanks, we can't stay long. We live across the street and we are the children of the people that own the Sub Station, so we have a shift to get to," Alex says, the same time Max says,"Sure!"

"Oh," is all Danny says before closing the door. Alex looks around the outside of the house. There is a sign on the ground. It says Fenton Works on it. She curiously looks at it when Justin calls her name. After turning around she sees that he is waving an apron in the air that reads,"Alex".

"Come on, Max," She says. He isn't next to her anymore. She relizes that he must have gone inside. She goes to the door and knocks on it. This time a girl answers the door. She looks about sixteen. She smiles at Alex. "I was wondering if a twelve year old boy named Max is here?" Alex asks.

"We aren't aloud to have any friends over," the girl says and starts to close the door.

"But Danny invited us in, and I think Max might have gone in," Alex responds.

"Well, no one came in," she says. Alex sighs as the lady closes the door and that is when she hears Max's voice faintly down the hall. Since she is not going to get in through the door so she uses the spell that lets her walk through things.


Alex's POV

Once I'm inside, I look around for my brother. The house is pretty big. The room I am in has purple carpet, with a white couch in the corner. There is a small TV, too. That is all in the room besides a huge assortment of boxes. "Max?" I call softly, afraid I'll be spotted. There is no answer. "Max?" I call again, a little louder, as I venture into the kitchen. Or, at least I assume it's the kitchen. There are so many boxes, that I have to use magic to get through! On the other side, there is a basement. I slowly and cautiously walk down the steps. "Max?" Then, I freeze, because the next thing I see scares me. I see the ghost from our wizard training lesson. He is wearing a black jumpsuit with a fancy, silver "D" on it and a silver strip on its stomach with some more on the cuff of its sleeves. I freeze, afraid he'll see me. But it's to late. He already has. We stare at each other a little bit. There is a awkward moment of silence. Finally I say, "Uh, hi. I'm Alex. Alex Russo. I'm looking for my twelve year old brother, Max?"

"Uh, I haven't seen him. I, uh, gotta go!" He replies, somewhat nervously and flies away. Suddenly, I hear a noise.

"Who's in the house?" someone calls and I hear heavy footsteps pounding down the stairs to the basement. I look around for somewhere to hide. I finally decide on a huge box in the middle of the room. I climb in. And just in time, too. A fat man wearing an orange jumpsuit falls face first on the ground, and quickly picks himself up. "Are you a ghost?"

"It was," I mutter under my breath.

"WHO SAID THAT?" The orange man furiously yells, picking up a weird looking green gun from a nearby box, and shooting randomly.

"Jack, put the gun down! You're going to destroy all I our stuff!" A lady says, and I can hear light, delicate, footsteps walking downstairs. I have to stifle a laugh when I see what the lady is wearing. She is wearing a blue jumpsuit and if those two people are married, they're perfect for each other. They are also crazy. Note to self, avoid this family as much as possible.

"But, there was a ghost!" the man, Jack, says, holding the "O" sound in "ghost" and then dropping it.

"Now, Jack. There couldn't have been a ghost. We don't even have the ghost portal set up yet!" the blue jump suited lady says. Oh yeah, defiantly number one on my list I things to avoid.


30 minutes later

Why can't those people just leave yet? They have been down in the basement unpacking boxes filled with goofy gadgets, and other weird things. I just pray that they won't unpack the box I'm in. Jack is about to, when the doorbell rings. Phew! The two run up to answer it, and I quickly get out of the box and fallow slowly and carefully behind them. My plan is to hide in the living room, wait until it's empty of people, and sneak out the door. Once in the living room, I jump into the first big box I see, and listen. The voice I hear at the door is my brother, Justin's.

"Hello, I'm Justin Russo. Is a girl named Alex in this house?" He asks. "She's late for her shift at our family business in the Waverly Sub Station."

"Mm, mm! Do you have fudge?" Jack asks.

"Yeah?" Justin asks curiously.

"Ooo! Count me in! Danny! Jazz! We're going out for dinner!" the fat man yells upstairs to his two kids. The boy and girl walk downstairs and I can see Justin's eyes light up at the sight of the girl. I groan, and then immediately stop. With my luck the shouldn't have heard me. There is silence in the room as the lady in blue walks over to the box.
