Disclaimer: I don't own Wizards of Waverly Place. I don't own any of the other referenced amounts of fiction in this story. I do own the original character and other original ideas/places/things,etc. that have absolute no connection whatsoever to WoWP or any other referenced amount of science fiction be it characters, story plots, places, things, etc.

Summary: In an alternate universe a time traveler who happens to be well acquainted with the Russo family offers his help to the two oldest Russo siblings in helping to find and return lost loved ones and mend their broken hearts.

Author's Notes: Just my version of the events that could have happened after "Wizards vs. Werewolves". I'm placing this story in the regular WoWP category instead of in the crossover category. Mostly because it contains crossovers with quite a few different TV and Movie categories and I'm not sure on how to include more than two crossovers into one crossover category. Only one character from a TV show will be featured in this story while the rest will be completely WoWP and my original character. But there will be plenty of references to other TV/Movie ideas/places/things/etc. You might want to read the disclaimer again. Enjoy!

Tribeca Prep High School
Manhattan, New York City, New York
Mid January, 2010

Wizard Alex Russo meets werewolf Mason Greyback, a British transfer student, and they begin a short-lived boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Alex has no idea that Mason is a werewolf and vice-versa Mason has no idea that Alex is a wizard.

One week later. . . Mason has been spending the past week with Alex at her family's sub shop on Waverly Place. He gives her a necklace that glows and Alex at first thinks that it is battery powered. Every evening just before sunset Mason abruptly leaves in a hurry without explaining much to Alex's growing confusion and suspiciousness. She and Harper discover that Mason is actually a werewolf and Mason discovers that Alex and her brothers are wizards. Mason then tells Alex that the necklace he gave her is magical and that it only glows when the wearer is in love with the one who gave them the necklace. Meanwhile, Justin has been searching the past few months for the mummy and Juliet and has come up empty each time. Mason offers to help find Juliet and leads the wizards to Transylvania where Max unintentionally destroys the mummy and Justin frees Juliet. Juliet and Mason recognize each other as past boyfriend/girlfriend which in turn brings out jealousy in Justin and a broken heart in Alex after Mason loyally blurts out that he still loves Juliet. Alex removes the necklace Mason gave her and throws it away. Back in New York, Mason tries numerous times to make things right with Alex but Justin stands in the way at first. Max allows Mason to finally see Alex where he convinces her to return with him to Transylvania to find the necklace in order to prove to her that he loves only her and not Juliet. Alex agrees. Justin, Juliet, and Max follow Alex and Mason to Transylvania and while Alex searches for the necklace Justin and Mason, in full werewolf form, fight over Alex. Juliet jumps into the fight while Justin is down and she and Mason fight each other until they both ultimately lose to one another. Mason scratches Juliet and she in turn bites him causing both to lose their respective abilities/powers. Alex finds the necklace and places it around Mason's neck where it begins to glow showing that he truly loves her. But it is too late for them to be together. Mason gives Alex the necklace and turns into a full wolf and exits the courtyard. No longer a vampire, Juliet turns into her true age of an old woman well beyond two millennia and tells Justin that they can't be together anymore and exits the courtyard. Justin and Alex are both heartbroken. As they sit there on the steps of the mummy's once courtyard Alex lays her head onto Justin's shoulder. . .

"Promise me we'll find normal people." she sadly pleas to her brother.

"We're not normal people." is his reply with just as much sadness in his voice.

End Prologue

Chapter One

James Alcorn Memorial Firehouse
Northeast Regional Mississippi Tri-State Area
Early February, 2010

Time traveler James Alcorn, Jr., or Jim as he preferred to be called, was sitting in his recliner watching some late night news broadcast which was being projected upon the clear, white, back wall of his living quarters in a dazzling one hundred and four inches and in 1080i high definition clarity when he instantaneously became aware of the late night visitors that had magically appeared one floor below him in the old garage stalls of the firehouse. He rose up from his chair and walked over to the nearby fire pole and slid quietly down to meet his late night guests. They at first did not see him when he landed on the concrete floor of the stall a few meters from where they had appeared and he just stood there for a few moments as they looked around the stalls. But Jim knew who his two visitors were. He was surprised, however, at the pair traveling with each other. When it came to these two individuals, it was like combining oil to water for lack of a better combination. It was Harper Finkle and Max Russo.

"You two are a long way from New York City." Jim said breaking the silence that had been hanging in the air.

Harper immediately began a combination of screaming and laughing all at once and Max just turned around trying to find whoever had just spoken. Suddenly the lights in the stalls automatically turned on without anyone having to flip a switch. Harper turned to see Jim and she calm down from her fit of scream/laugh mixture and a smile broke out on Max's face.

"DON'T DO THAT!" exclaimed Harper. "You know I don't like it when someone sneaks up on me."

"Well you guys know that I don't like unannounced company this late at night." Jim said. "What are y'all (A/ N: Jim is a southern boy with a southern accent) doing here? It's almost midnight in New York. Don't y'all have school tomorrow?"

"Jim, you got to help us buddy." said Max. "We just can't take it anymore. They're driving us insane." He began to pace back and forth in front of a vintage early 1980's DeLorean.

Harper noticed the confused look that appeared on Jim's face.

"What are you talking about Max?" Jim asked. "Who's driving you insane?"

Max just kept pacing back and forth so Jim turned his attention onto Harper.

"It's been a really sad two weeks on Waverly Place." she said as she shook her head.

Jim's first thought was of the Russo family that lived where Harper had just spoke of. And especially of the two older siblings of Max. Justin and Alex.

"How sad?" he asked.

"Heart breaking." replied Harper with a slight sad expression on her face.

Jim looked away from Harper for a moment as he contemplated what he could do to fix a broken heart before looking back to Harper.

"There's not much I can do when it comes to broken hearts." he said. "Science just isn't much help in the department of love. At least without there being a chemical equation involved."

Max stopped his pacing and turned to face Jim. But before Max could get the first word passed his lips, Jim immediately interrupted.....

"And time travel is definitely out of the question." he added quickly. Max lowered his head slightly in defeat.

"Changing past events never solved life's problems." Jim continued. "Be they a matter of broken hearts or whatever y'all know, as I have said many times in the past, I will not abuse the natural course of history in order to benefit for one's personal gain."

"Is there any way that you could help us without using time travel?" Harper asked.

"I'm not sure." Jim replied. "It all depends on what you need my help with."

"Alex and Justin." Harper and Max both said simultaneously.

"Ah, of course." Jim said with slight sarcasm. "What have they done now and how does it involve hearts being broken?"

"Can we go somewhere and sit down?" Harper asked. "We've got a long story to tell you."

Jim led the two late night visitors to the corner office adjacent the garage stall. It was the office of the former fire chief, Jim's father, James Alcorn, Sr. Jim sat down in the chair behind the desk while Harper and Max sat down on a couch just off to the left as one would enter through the door. They didn't waste any time telling Jim the recent events of the past few weeks and months that involved Alex and Justin and their melancholy tale in the boyfriend/girlfriend department. Jim listened with the utmost attention and took a greater interest when a familiar name of Mason Greyback was mentioned. The name brought to his memory of a certain person or persons whom he had encountered no more than twice in two different periods of the past. And he wasn't completely sure if Harper and Max could be referring to the same boy or boys that he was recalling. On a different note, he was happy to hear that Justin had finally found Juliet after searching the past few months for her. Then saddened at how Juliet had lost her vampire powers and broke up with Justin just because she had suddenly changed to show her true age. (A/N: Remember the episode Future Harper. Jim is a time traveler so he knows of the existence of the magical world.) However, he was a little upset and angry at Mason for putting Alex through such an emotional turmoil. And secretly overjoyed that Mason was turned into a wolf to suit his own good.

"For the past week and a half Alex and Justin have been closed off in lair." Harper continued.

"They won't let anybody in there.' said Max.

"They won't come out to eat," continued Harper, "we don't know if they've been sleeping, they're lucky they haven't missed school because there's been so much snowfall this year all the schools have been closed the past two weeks. Like Max said earlier, 'They're driving us insane'."

"What are they doing in the lair that has y'all worried so much?" Jim asked.

"They're trying to find a magical way to get Mason and Juliet back." said Max. "But they've had nothing but failure each time."

How do you know that?" Jim asked.

"I got into the lair the back way through the wizard portal a few days ago." replied Max "They said that they weren't gonna give up until they find a way to bring Mason and Juliet back or either invent new spells if they have to."

"Have they tried asking the wizards council for help?" Jim asked.

"Yeah." replied Harper somewhat sadly. "But the wizards council won't help them because Mason and Juliet are considered monsters to them. They said that two less monsters makes this world a better place to live in."

Jim winced with disgust. He was rather fond of Juliet. A vampire with a soul was very rare. And if Mason was the same person/people he was remembering, then the wizards council could go to hell when it came to their policy regarding monsters. It was clear that Jim had an immediate dislike for the council at the moment.

'Thank God I'm on the side of science than magic.' He thought to himself.

"So what makes y'all think that I can help Alex and Justin?" he asked. "How could I be of any service?"

"You have that emergency doctor hologram." said Harper. "He could find a way to turn Mason back into a human and make Juliet young again, couldn't he?"

"Yeah. Science could work wonders where magic failed." Max added. "After all we've seen what your car can do, there's got to be some trick up its tailpipe that could help Mason and Juliet."

"Max don't be a smart alec." Harper warned. "We're trying to get Jim to help us. Not think that we are offending him and his.... uh....."

Harper turned her head to look out into the garage stall and to the DeLorean setting parked a few meters away. (A/N: Yep, I'm American but I'm going to use the metric system.) She didn't want to say 'car' for lack of a better word to describe a sentient automobile. She turned back to face Jim.

"...technology." she concluded.

Jim just looked at Harper and Max before speaking.

"The emergency medical hologram," Jim began and Harper just gave a half smile at the correction, "could probably, but not to rule out possibly, help in a situation such as this."

"So you'll help us?" Max asked with a slight quickness and excitement in his voice.

Jim raised a hand to the young wizard.

"I didn't say I would just yet." he said.

Harper and Max exchanged a look with each other with hopeful expressions on their faces.

"I would have to talk to Alex and Justin first and see if they would want my help in restoring their lost loved ones to their former selves." Jim continued.

"Well you'd have to come to New York because Alex and Justin just won't come out of the lair for any reason." said Harper. "I don't think that they have even considered in asking for your help like Max and I have."

"Yeah. Mom and dad won't mind you coming this late at night." said Max. "The sooner you get Alex and Justin to come out of the lair, they'll like you all the more."

"Your parent's already like me, Max." Jim said with a slight look of confusion on his face.

"Then they'll love you for this." Max added. "Whatever it takes to get those two out of the lair and living their lives normally again, mom and dad will be all for it."

Jim thought over Harper and Max's request for a few moments before giving them his answer.

"Okay. I'll come to New York and talk to Alex and Justin." he said.

Harper and Max instantly jumped up off the couch and rounded the desk where Harper wrapped her arms around Jim in a tight embrace while smiling one the biggest smiles she could and saying 'thank you' over and over again. Max began to pat Jim on his back between his shoulder blades and with his own smile if not as equal to Harper's.

"You don't know what this means to us, buddy." said Max. "You, my friend, are a blessing in disguise."

Jim didn't quite understand what Max meant by that. But instead of trying to figure it out, he instead worked his way out of Harper's embrace that he felt was taking way too long to end.

"Before y'all start throwing around y'all s gratitude," he started, "let me talk to Alex and Justin and see if they even want my help."

"Then let's get going." said Max as he pulled out his wand and began to raise it up into the air.

"Hold on now just a minute." said Jim. "Slow your roll down just a little. We've got plenty of time. Besides, I need to freshen up before I go to New York. Why don't y'all go on back and let everybody know that I'll be there in 'bout half an hour, then I'll meet up with y'all in your parent's loft above the sandwich shop."

"Sounds good to me." said Harper. Max nodded his agreement as well.

The three walked back out into the garage stall where Harper and Max stood close to each other before Max raised his wand again.

"Uh..... before y'all go," started Jim. Max halted his wand in mid-air. "just only tell Jerry and Theresa that I'm coming. Not Alex and Justin."

Harper and Max looked at each other with confused looks on their faces.

"Why?" asked Harper.

"Make it a surprise for them." Jim replied.

"Sure." said Max as he began to wave his wand once more and he and Harper magically disappeared back to Waverly Place.

Jim visibly began to shudder for a few seconds and let out an audible sigh of dislike.

"Magical teleportation," he began, "gives me the heebee jeebees. I'll take scientific teleportation anytime."

With a snap of his fingers on his right hand, though it wasn't necessary, Jim dematerialized in a different style manner as to Max's magic from within the stall of the ground floor garage. Moments later the lights shut themselves off automatically.

Author's notes:

Like it? Hate it? Review and let me know what you think. I won't be taking any suggestions because I've had this story imagined in my mind for the past few weeks since seeing reruns of "Wizards vs. Werewolves" of how the events would play out all the way to the end of the story. If the reviews are good, I'll keep posting more chapters. If they are bad, then I'll most likely pull the story and end it here.
