Character madness

Reality discovered

Selena Gomez was doing a scene for Wizards of Waverly Place. She didn't like being here today of All days. She was sick and disgusted. The contract with Disney would last for about three more years. She was sick of Disney. She wanted out of the show.

David Henri shared her feelings, he was roped in here to. It was because of the dreariness of the day that they were both speaking in monotone. They were making fun of the director. "CUT, show some emotion" the director yelled.

"Could we just take a break" Selena said.

"Fine 15 minutes." The director said

The actors came over to congratulate her for it. They all went to get some lunch while Selena and David talked some. They were still talking when a guy came in on the soundstage.

"Hey dude. How's it going?" David said.

"I'm doing well, do you know where I should put this" he said motioning to the machine in his hand.

"No, what is it" Selena asked.

"It's a color machine. Adds more color be producing a rain bow of light around. I advised them against using it because I haven't worked out all the kinks yet." Charlie said

"Let me guess they put a lot of money in your account to shut up about the kinks." Selena said disgusted.

"Yep, that's Disney for you." Charlie said putting the machine down. He looked for a plug in and found one behind the soundstage. He plugged the machine in and turned it on. The rain bow that came out of it looked nice as it enhanced the color of the sound stage.

"Awesome" Selena said looking at the colors and swirls. Just then the machine made a weird noise and began to sputter and shake. It was then that the color turned electric. Selena and David felt the static electricity in the air. Suddenly they all saw the entire sound stage shake and sputter too. "What's happening" Selena cried.

"See the problem is that to make the color brighter I had to create a wormhole singularity to a realm of all color. Unfortunately the wormhole never stays connected to the color dimension; it always goes to something else and sucks somebody else from that dimension it to here." Charlie yelled over the loud noise.

"What do you mean from that dimension" David yelled.

"Let me put it this way. In the last few days I've had conversations with Harry Potter, Salron, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Charlie yelled.

"That's impossible" David said.

"Oh really," Charlie said as the machine slowed down to a stop. "Look behind you"

The color returned to normal as the wormhole closed. David and Selena turned around and their mouths dropped open. Standing there looking lost was a girl who looked an awful lot like Selena. David and Selena knew better. Selena took a guess to who this girl is.

"I'm just going off on a limb here," Selena said, "You're Alex Russo, Aren't you."

"Yeah, how do you know me and where am I and who are you and why do you look like me" Alex said in a barrage of questions.

"I'm Selena Gomez, that's David Henri, and that guy is the color machine guy." Selena said. "We know you because I play you on a T.V. show."

"I've got my own TV show, cool" Alex said.

"Yeah well," Charlie said. "Best to get things out of the way, um how do I put this nicely; you don't exist in this world. In fact it's because of some of the people of this world that you even exist at all. You see this world is the creator of a lot of worlds. We make universes and people for our own entertainment. We call them fictional characters."

"So I only exist for your amusement." Alex said shocked.

"Pretty much yeah" Charlie said.

"Alright, let me say something" David said, "If that's your way of putting it gently then you have problems." He said to Charlie

"Wait a minute" Alex said looking at all of them insulted. "If you are right then everything in my life is created for your amusement."

"Yeah" Charlie said.

"Seriously man, stop talking" David said panicky.

"Why" Charlie said.

"I have a question," Selena interjected, "Did her magic come with her."

"I don't think so. It didn't with Harry, but that was probably because he had dropped his wand when my wormhole sucked him out of his world and into the next." Charlie said.

"Well, let's just see." Alex said. She whipped out her wand and pointed it at David, Charlie, and Selena. There was a flash of light and in no time at all: Charlie was turned into a snake, David into a bear, and Selena into a black cat.

Alex changed them all back and said, "I guess that answers that question. Now take me back home" She asked Charlie.

Charlie who was still reeling from being a snake said, "Sorry, the machine is out of focus and it takes at least 12 hours to make it work again."

"Guess, I'll just explore this world before I have to go back." Alex said.

"Wait," David said gasping, "Hold on, how do we know she isn't dangerous to our world coming from another dimension, I mean what about antimatter."

"You don't think I'd be stupid enough not to put a filter on the color machine" Charlie said insulted.

"I was just checking" David said. They all 4 heard a sound and realized the 15 minutes was over and everybody was coming back.

Selena had an idea. "Um, Alex, would you mind taking my place as you on the TV show, all you'd have to do is be yourself."

"Sure, I've always wanted to act" Alex said excited. "And I don't mean theater acting; I mean I've always wanted to act on TV."

"Good, so you'll take my place and I'll skip" Selena said smiling.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," David and Charlie both said.

"Well good bye." Selena said leaving the three of them. She left the set before the cast and crew got there.

The director now relieved said, "Alright, now Ms. Gomez, Mr. Henri, take your places."

Alex and David both acted well during the scene. Alex felt chemistry with David and they had done the best acting the director ever seen.

After the filming was done for the day, Alex felt relieved and happy. She found herself talking to Harper Actor, Jennifer Stone.

"I can't believe you just jumped into your character like that." Jennifer said.

"Yeah, well Sometimes I just feel like Alex Russo" Alex said laughing.

"Yeah, well at least they gave you a good character; I'm still feuding with the directors about playing such a loser." Jennifer said.

"What?" Alex said losing her smile.

"I'm sick and tired of playing a bonified loser who wears fruit hats and weird clothes." Jennifer said

"Hey, that's my friend you're talking about" Alex said defensively.

"Oh Selena, you're so funny" Jennifer said laughing. "Just the other day, you were going on and on about having to play such a lazy apathetic disgraceful brat. I agree with you on that. Disney is just playing the field by teaching nice little girls to be brats."

"You know, I hear ya." Jake T. Austin said joining the conversation. "I hate playing such a dumbo; you think Disney would have made me the smart one and David the athletic one."

"Yeah, because let's face it no one in the Russo family is even remotely athletic" Jennifer said.

"Yeah and Disney's version of the parents are completely warped." David DeLuise said entering the conversation. "Parents in my opinion should be about loving and cherishing their children. All the Russo parents are doing is being cheap and forgetting important dates. I mean Jerry, the character I play, is cheap and always scolding his kids when they use magic. If I was Jerry and my children had magic, I'd be a very rich man."

"I here ya" Maria said entering the conversation, "The mother always wants her kids to do chores but she want them to do it without magic, If my children had magic, my house would always be spotless."

"Hey look, it's not my fault" the director said entering the conversation. "If I were in charge of this show, I'd do away with that stupid wizard competition motif. I think it's morally degrading having one child get all the power and letting the other two get none."

"Hey, Selena, It was your idea to have Alex win the competition so you could leave the show, too bad it didn't work." Jennifer said knowing how much Selena wanted out.

"Heck, we could have fixed it all and signed off last week if they hadn't of made a last minute change to the Wizards vs. Werewolves episode and left Alex and Justin without love. I wonder how they are going to fix that." David DeLuise said.

"What" Alex said throat constricted.

"Exactly," DeLuise said. "We'll see ya" He said leaving the group. They all broke up and went their separate ways after saying goodbye to Alex who they thought was Selena.

Alex found a prop and sat down on it. That explained everything. She had to agree with that DeLuise guy, why they would do that. She could have had love it if wasn't for Disney. Then she thought of Mason. She then completely broke down. She cried and cried knowing that if not for this world she would have love. She then heard a sound and sniffled. "Hello" she said

"I take it you found out." Charlie said coming out from behind the set.

"Why" she cried, "Why couldn't they give me just some satisfaction." Alex said.

"They had to keep the show going and having everything pan out with all of you being in love didn't work out. So they changed it hurting you and Justin in the process." Charlie said.

"When will the machine be ready?" Alex asked.

"It was never broken and it was already ready." Charlie said. "But if you feel strongly about what Disney did to you, why go. You can change what Disney does with the show, because you have power here." He said pointing to the wand.

Alex picked it up and looked at the wand. "I'm going to stay. I'm going to try to change Disney, and if it doesn't work out, then Disney will fall." Alex said angrily.

"You couldn't have put it a better way." Charlie said smiling.
