Enjoy!

Everything started out normal. Well, normal for the Russo's, but for any other person a normal day at the Russo's was not a normal day. Alex was pricking at her fingers, blankly daydreaming. She let out a relieved sigh as wizarding school was dismissed. It seemed like hours and hours before she heard the words 'class dismissed'. She stumbled out and ran up stares. She lied down on the couch and flipped on the TV.

"Hahaha.. oh poor frog," She laughed

"Not so fast it's your shift," Justin taunted grabbing the remote and changing it to sports. Alex groaned and walked down the steps. She grabbed the cloth apron and put it over her head. The sun was shining down in the substation and blocked Alex's eyes. A sub with crisp Italian bread lay on the counter. Alex's stomach growled. Shut up stomach, it's healthy food! She thought. But the stomach did not listen and growled again. She moaned and picked up the sandwich. She chewed it. Surprisingly it tasted delicious, but she quickly devoured it before anyone could see. One thing was for sure; if anyone saw Alex eating healthy it would be scandalous.

A costumer walked in and Alex moaned. "What would you like?" She asked.

"Um.. I'll take the meat me in Italy. Wait! I mean the veggie sub. No, no maybe I should get the triple meat sub. But then again does that mean nothing else other then meat? I'm trying to eat healthier, so could I get some tomatoes and maybe some cheese on it. Then again I can't have any milk before my concert tonight, it clogs up mucus, so does cheese have any milk in it? Maybe I should get..."

"Oh just order all ready!" She yelled at the costumer. The costumer gasped.

"Well then, I'll just go to the late night bite. At least they have ice cream!" The person yelled then stomped off.

"Nice way to be healthy!" Alex snorted. She looked at the clock impatiently. "It's been five minutes time to take my break," She sighed, then walked up the stairs. Justin was lying on the couch watching the basketball game.

"What are you doing your shifts not ov-ah!" Alex pulled the blanket and Justin fell to the carpet. She jumped on the couch and gripped the remote in her hand.

"Hahaha...oh frog you make me laugh so," Alex giggled.


It was four in the morning. All was silent and still around Waverly Place. It was the perfect time. No one was awake, everything was still. He gripped the luggage bag tight and pick-locked the door. He snoke through and quietly shut the door. He avoided all the creaky floorboards and anything that might make the slightest noise. He stalked up the stairs and to Alex's room. The girl was sleeping peacefully on her bed. She snugged her quilt close.

"Frog, funny," She mumbled along with a snore. He rolled his eyes and opened the bag. Gripping the sparks he blew them all over the girl. She flinched but then as the glitter sunk in she went back to sleeping peacefully.

Mission accomplished.


Alex was sleeping peacefully. Nothing was wrong, all was silent. Suddenly something struck here. Pain. Her stomach flipped, the room got furiously hot. Her face started turning purple and it felt painful to breath. She ran to the toilet. She bwuked rapidly then ripped her face. The lights flipped on and she heard footsteps coming forward.

Teresa gasped seeing her daughter there.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" She asked. Alex tried to talk but she started to cough and gasp for air. "We're going to the emergency room. Jerry, Justin, Max!" She yelled. She patted Alex's pack and led her to the car. Alex coughed again repeatedly. The family got in the car and drove off all with worried looks.

The emergency room was extremely quiet. In movies they showed it as being a place full of action. Sick people being rushed to hospital rooms. But it wasn't like that. It was quiet. The blue sky wallpaper calmed Alex. It almost made her tired and dizzy. Sleep, that was what she needed. She slowly closed her eyes and passed out.

Teresa's heart stopped. "Wake up! Wake up! We need a room now!" She yelled. Everyone's eyes turned to them. The Dr. and nurses rushed to her and dragged Alex away.


Alex woke up. Her belly still felt like a shard of glass was in it but it was easier to breath. Tubes were in her mouth and nose. The whole family was gathered around her and gave a relieved look. It was hard for her to talk with the tube in her mouth so she motioned for paper and a pen. Teresa immediately got the message and quickly gave her the pen and paper.

'What is going on? Where am I? And what's with the tubes?' She wrote.

"Sweetie, you're in the emergency room. You had a little incident. Everything's okay now," Teresa soothed. Alex sighed.

'What happened?' She wrote, trying to keep her hand from shaking so that her handwriting could be readable.

Teresa hesitated "You woke up and just got very sick, but everything's all right," She reassured, patting her back. Alex sighed.

'When am I going to get out of these tubs? They are starting to hurt' She complained.

Teresa sighed and answered, "As soon as you get better," Alex let out another sigh and set it down. Her eyelids felt like weights were dragging it down. She closed them and drifted into an uncomfortable sleep. She slept with pain and nightmares. Her dreams were worse then her being awake. She woke up but kept her eyes closed. She heard the clanking of shoes and something almost like a rob scraping across the floor.

"Well, the results are in," The person said. He had a lower voice that startled Alex. "We aren't exactly clear what is wrong with Alex but we know that this medicine should take care of the pain. She should be fine, just take it in the morning and night," She felt something being dragged out of her mouth and her nose. The sliding of the tubes was like an unbearable shiver. She remembered what the Dr. had said. Medicine? She shot her eyes open immediately. Her tongue was num and her nose hurt like heck. It was at least a good ten minutes before a word came out.

"A," She gasped. Her tongue felt like sandpaper. She quickly drowned it in spit when she saw everyone staring at her. "The medicine. I don't have to take it, do I?" She asked nervously. Teresa nodded turning open the knob. She slid out a tablet and handed Alex a glass of water. Alex looked at it as if she were six and it was covered in 'cooties'. She slowly moved her trembling hand and placed it on the tip of her tongue and swallowed. She gagged and reached for the water, slurping every last bit of it.

Take this word of advice, when they say grape flavored it taste nothing like grapes.

3 days had gone by and Alex was back to normal. Even with the incident Alex was still required to go to wizarding school but was cut from the school for a week because of what happened. Everyone still treated her with sympathy and it made her angry. She thought of it as a past event and just a minor incident, nothing else, but everyone was treating her like she had fought a dinosaur and lived.

It was four o' clock at night and Alex was watching her favorite show. The pillow was knitted in pink fabric and was perfectly soft. Alex felt like sleeping but was awaken but an annoying phone ring.

"Hello?" Teresa asked, setting a bizarre smelling thing into the oven. "Oh, okay," Teresa's voice got thinner and eventually started trembling. "What?" She asked, heart broken. A moment later she hung up, just staring.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked concerned. She was never concerned about anything in her life, but the look on her face told her that something was seriously wrong.

"Nothing, nothing at all. Would you like to go out for dinner? It can be any place at all! And then after we might stop into your favorite ice cream shop Lincoln Cones, how does that sound?" She asked.

Alex gave her a confused look. "Something's wrong," She stated.

"No, nothing's wrong," Her mom reassured her, throwing away the gooey substance out of the pan and into the plastic garbage can. Alex knew by her face that it was everything but fine.

"What's going on?" She asked, though she didn't want to know the answer. When Teresa ignored her and started collecting their jackets she knew that something bad happened. "Mom! I want to know what is going on!" She yelled. Teresa shook her head. "Seriously mom what?"

"Never mind that just come on'," Alex disobeyed. Teresa grabbed her hand.

"Wait!" Alex yelled. "Fine, I'll meet you in the car. I just have to do something first," Alex commented. Teresa nodded in approval and threw her her jacket. As soon as she heard the door clank shut she ran to the phone. She pressed the down button one time and clicked on the number shown. It was the hospital. Alex felt her face turning pale as it rang. She knew this had something to do with her.

"Hello, Season's hospital, how may I help you?" A lady asked cheerfully. Alex coughed and faked a voice.

"You recently called about my daughter, Alex Russo, I'd like to know the test results,"

"Hold on just a sec." The person commanded. The next voice was rather a lower voice, like the one she had heard three days ago in the hospital.

"Hello?" He asked. Alex flinched but shook it off.

"You recently called about my daughter, Alex Russo, what did you say?" She asked hesitating.

"Um, first I'm going to need some proof that you're the real Teresa," He stated.

"Of course, um.. I live on Waverly Place, I have three kids, Max, Justin, and Alex. I am married to Jerry Russo, and I and my husband own a sandwich shop," Then quickly added without any hesitation, "Oh and my credit card number is 867352,"

"Good enough. The test results are in. Teresa your daughter has been struck with a rare disease, she only has eighty days to live."

Okay I normally don't right these types of stories. I'm more of a K+ kind of girl. Don't worry this isn't a depressing story! It just is in the beginning but it'll turn into more of an adventure story then a depressed story. In less you want it to be depressing, you don't want to do you?

P.S. This was hsmlovergt idea I just played with it a bit and turned it in to this. THIS IS HSM IDEA!
