I was sitting in the living room with my sister Alex, admiring the comic that we had created together. Alex was looking at her laptop.
"This really came out nice." I said as I looked it over. "Your drawings are so detailed. I don't mind that he has hot sauce in his space belt now."
"It's a weapon that goes well on bad guys and tortilla chips." Alex remarked. She started pat me to get my attention. "Oh look a review for the comic book!"
I turned my head to look at the computer while Alex read it aloud.
"In the new issue of Captain Jim Bob Sherwood's Adventures, the baton has been passed on to a new artistic team." She read as she elbowed me lightly
"That's us!" I said giddily.
"Sherwood is sucked into an alternate frontier that's riddled with crime and food he's never encountered before. He rescues Jessica Moon and returns to Farmtown with an intergalactic recipe for fajitas." She continued as I chuckled. "The Russo sisters Alex and Justine have taken over the reigns with flairs."
Alex was suddenly cracking up as I looked at her with a look of shock on my face. "
Did you just say Justine?" I asked seriously
"Wow sometimes I don't have to do anything and I still win." Alex guffawed.
"I'm gonna write a strongly worded letter to the reviewer." I stated.
"Yeah good luck with that, sis." Alex said as she patted my shoulder. "You do know that these sites don't even require an email address, don't you."
"Grr…" I said as I went up to my room.
2 weeks later, Alex came into the living room with the mail.
"Are you still mad about that Justine thing?" She asked.
"Yes!" I yelled.
"Cheer up Justin." Harper said. "At least they liked it."
"But everyone thinks I'm a girl." I reminded them.
"Yeah and the comic sales have tripled. The fans love it." Alex stated. "Hey I got a letter from Comic Con."
She opened the letter and began to read. "Dear Alex Russo, we like you and your sister to appear at Comic Con. We have sent you two tickets to San Diego. Please let us know if you are interested."
"I have to let people know that I'm not a girl." I said in response.
"That could really wreck the fan base." Alex remarked. "Weren't you listening to me? Sales have tripled."
"So what am I supposed to do?" I asked in frustration
"I have an idea." Alex said with a smirk on her face.
"Oh no." Harper and I said simultaneously.
"Don't worry, Harper, it has nothing to do with you." Alex assured. That didn't make me feel any better.
"I think I'm gonna go hang out with Zeke anyway." Harper said as she slowly headed for the door. I couldn't help but fear whatever Alex was planning. Usually when Alex had a plan, it meant that it would be trouble for all parties involved.
"Alex, what are you planning?" I asked hesitantly.
"You'll find out when we get to the airport." She grinned.
"Maybe I should just not go." I replied sheepishly.
"You can't let your fans down." Alex said. She just had to make me feel bad. Great now I feel like I have to go. This won't end well.
"So when is it?" I asked in defeat. I know I'm not going to like whatever Alex has in mind but the guilt will most likely prevent me from not doing it. Why couldn't I have a normal sister or at least have Alex be more like Harper. No wait one Harper is enough.
"The flight is in three days." Alex said. "Oh and don't worry about packing very much."
Three days later, Alex and I headed to Kennedy Airport. I still had no idea what she was planning.
"This way." She instructed. I followed her to the bathrooms. She opened the ladies room and looked inside. "Alright no one's in here. Come on."
"Alex I can't go in there. I'm a dude." I complained as she started to drag me inside.
"People won't know that when you come out." She said as she pulled me into one of the stalls. She unzipped her suitcase.
"You want me to dress like a girl?" I whispered in surprise.
"You should know me better than that." Alex answered as she grabbed her wand. "Hey Mr. Mister, you're now a soul sister."
I felt my body go through a series of contusions and that included reshaping, addition, and subtraction. It was quite obvious what was happening to me and I should have known that Alex would try something like this. When it was finally over, I stumbled at the change in my center of gravity. In addition to my body changing, Alex somehow managed to change my clothes.
I then felt nauseous and leaned into the toilet to vomit.
"Now do you see why I brought you to the bathroom?" Alex asked. "This spell has been known to cause nausea."
"Why did you turn me into a girl?" I asked. Man, my new voice sounded so girly.
"Really, you need to ask me that? You don't think it's completely obvious. Okay I'll give you a hint. Everyone thinks you're a girl, so I made you one." Alex said, as I got up off the ground. "What's the big deal, anyway? You didn't have any problem turning yourself into me."
"That was only for a few hours." I argued, as I exited the stall.
"And this will only be for a few days. I'll turn you back after the convention." She countered. Defeated, I turned to look at myself in the mirror.
"Wow." I said, staring at my reflection.
"Hmm guess we do share the same DNA.' Alex commented as she looked over my shoulder. "I'm tempted to keep you like this."
I cringed at the thought of being stuck as a girl "You can't" I pouted.
"I won't but it might be a good idea but to piss me off." Alex said. "Come on, sis, we have a plane to catch."
I began to walk, wondering if Alex had put me in heels on purpose. Combined with the skirt that I was wearing, if I were to trip it would be catastrophic. Okay mostly, embarrassing.
"You know if you go any slower, we're gonna miss the flight." Alex cracked.
"I don't know how to walk in these shoes." I complained.
"Fine, normally I wouldn't do this but I don't wanna be late." Alex said, again with her wand. "Some know how to talk the talk, now you can walk the walk. Go on take a real step."
I found my feet were moving gracefully but I guess that was the purpose of the spell.
"Alex, what am I supposed to do about clothes?" I asked in realization.
"That's why I told you to pack light. Because I…" Alex said, pointing to the magic suitcase she obtained via the World Wide Wiz Web. It really was a useful contraption. "…packed heavy."
Wow Alex really thought of everything. It was almost scary how thorough she could be when she was planning something.
When we boarded the plane, Alex took the window seat and I immediately envied her because I had this lecherous guy staring at me. He was the football player, the kind that used to make fun of me. Luckily I probably wouldn't see any of them at Comic Con.
"Just don't pay attention to them." Alex instructed.
"But how can I do that when I know exactly what they want from me?" I asked.
"It's really easy when you get used to it." Alex said. "I have guys staring at me all of the time. That's part of being a pretty girl."
"Did you just call me pretty?" I questioned. It was odd, Alex never complimented anyone.
"Yes I did, now leave me alone so I can sleep". She said before instantly nodded off. How did she do that? It always took me a few minutes to fall asleep.
I figured that sleep would probably be a good idea. I asked the stewardess for a blanket which covered my long and bare legs. When I woke up, we had arrived in San Diego. I'm not quite sure how long I had slept but the midnight flight didn't exactly help. To be honest I'm surprised that Alex even had us fly. We could have been there in seconds through our usual method of travel. I shook Alex.
"What?" She asked grouchily.
"We're here." I replied.
"Okay let's see the sites. The convention doesn't start till tomorrow." Alex said. "We could go to the Mets game."
"I didn't know that Mets were playing in San Diego." I responded.
"Well they're kind of playing in Los Angeles but that's not that far." Alex explained.
"That's like 2 hours ago." I said.
"I could get us there in 2 seconds." Alex bragged as she reached for her wand in her sock.
"I really think it would be a better to just explore San Diego instead." I suggested. "There has to be something that we can do here."
"Well the Padres don't have a home game tonight. Not that I would go anyway." Alex said.
I began to scan the airport for anything that may be of use. Maybe there was a brochure for something. Bingo…a poster. I began to walk toward it.
"Where are you going?" Alex asked. "Justine!"
I froze when Alex said that name. I realize that was going to be my new name till the end of the weekend. Alex caught up to me at that point.
"At least tell me what you're doing." Alex said.
I turned to face my sister. "I was thinking we could check out that band." I answered.
"Seriously, you want to check out some random band's show?" Alex asked in frustration. "There are plenty of random bands in New York. Hell we had a random band in New York"
"I thought you would appreciate me doing something fun." I replied.
"Fine I'll go." Alex said. "But you can't wear that. And if they suck we're leaving."
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I asked as I looked the long-sleeved blouse and skirt combo that Alex had transformed my previous clothes into.
"For one, it's summer and a lot hotter than it is in New York. And two that's not something that you wear to a concert. It's something you for a date to a restaurant." Alex explained. "But I have just the thing. We should head to the hotel."
We were staying at the Se San Diego hotel was about a seven minute drive from the airport. As soon as stepped outside, I realized how hot San Diego was.
We got in the car and Alex drove to the hotel. I was absolutely loving the air conditioning after a few minutes of the heat. Alex paid the valet as we got out of the car and entered the hotel.
The hotel was packed. It wouldn't hard to believe if someone said all of the big names from the convention were staying there. I think I saw Samuel L. Jackson in the lounge. Alright Justin…Justine…whatever now isn't a good time to lose your cool.
We headed to the room and I was shocked. The room we were staying in was loaded. There was a flat screen HDTV, the beds were huge, the bathroom was huge and so clean.
"This is awesome!" Alex said as she flopped onto the bed. "I could really get used to something like this."
"So do you have the clothes for me?" I asked.
"I need a minute to find them." Alex said as she unzipped her suitcase. "Why don't you take a shower while I look?"
"Shower?" I asked in shock.
"Yeah you can't go so many days without bathing." Alex reminded. "What's the big deal?"
"This may come out as a surprise to you but I've never seen a girl naked before." I admitted.
"Really? You dated Juliet for six months and never slept with her?" Alex replied. "Guess I beat you in that department."
"Who did you sleep with? Was it Dean? Mason?" I questioned.
"It was Stevie. It was this experimental thing and lead to anything since she kind of died the next day…" Alex said with a pause.
"She's not really dead is she?" I asked.
"No after it happened, Warren came to me after he woke up and we found a way to revive her. After a long talk we convinced her that seeking the revolution was wrong and she decided to start a music career. She even changed her name so no one would know she's alive." Alex explained. "So are you just gonna stand there or are you going to get in the shower?"
I entered the bathroom and noticed the fluffy towels and bathrobes. I always heard that you're not supposed to take them. I started to unbutton my blouse and stared in the mirror at myself in a bra. I wondered how I was going to get it off. I then noticed there were hooks by the straps and decided to start there. Once that was off, I finished undressing. I took a good look at the girl in the mirror. It was hard to be attracted to her when I knew she was me. After that brief moment, I stepped into the shower and turned the water on. I yelped slightly as the water hit me. I had once heard that girls have more sensitive skin but never really believed it. So as a result, I needed to be extra careful when I was washing myself. Washing my hair took longer than normal because I obviously had more hair to wash. I had a feeling that the shampoo that I had brought wasn't going to work.
I stepped out of the shower and took the towel and began to dry off. I then put the robe on. I looked at the hair dryer, not quite sure what to do with it.
"Alex, I need some help." I called into the room.
"What's the problem?" She asked sounding annoyed. She saw me holding the hairdryer. "You've gotta be kidding me."
"I've never had long hair." I complained.
"You just hold your hair with one hand and dry it with the other. It's really not that hard." Alex remarked. "Next you'll be telling me you need help with your bra."
"Well…" I started.
"Fine I'll show you that too." Alex grumbled. "But I'm only going to do it once so pay attention."
Almost without warning, Alex opened my robe. She made a bra appear in her hand
I gulped as she showed me how to attach what I guess could be considered a piece of clothing to my chest.
"Now are you going to remember that?" Alex questioned.
"Yes." I said, probably traumatized.
"Good then you should get dressed so we can go to that school show you want to see." Alex replied. "Hmm I wonder if this place will have any booze."
"Alex, you're not old enough to drink." I reminded her.
"I'm not but Mary Santiago is." Alex said as she flashed an ID.
"You know you can't use magic to break mortal laws, don't you?" I asked.
"I didn't use magic. Stevie made it for me." She remarked. I was about to say something before she cut me off "No she didn't use magic either."
I went out to the room and saw the clothes Alex had picked out for me. There was green garment that I couldn't exactly identify and a pair of shorts similar to the ones worn by Jessica Simpson in Dukes of Hazzard.
"What is this?" I asked picking up the green piece of clothing.
"It's a tunic." Alex said. "Just put it on."
I nodded and grabbed the clothing and went into the bathroom, coming out a minute later fully dressed.
"So let's get going." I said as I headed for the door.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Alex asked, motioning to my bare feet.
"Where am I going to put my stuff? These don't have pockets." I asked.
"I was talking about your shoes." She said before she pulled a purse out of the bottomless suitcase. "But that's why I packed this."
I opened my suitcase and pulled out the one useful thing inside: my wand. "Stop stop stop give me some flip flops." I said as the sandals appeared on my feet. I reluctantly grabbed the purse and stuck my phone and wallet inside. "Alright let's go."
The show was on the beach. The music was pretty good and the singer was cute…attractive I guess. Okay I did not just think that. Stupid estrogen.
I noticed Alex with a glass of tequila in her hands and wondered if I would have to drive back to the hotel.
After the concert, as I was coming back from the bathroom, I ran into someone.
"Sorry" I said. I looked to see that it was the singer from the band.
"It's my fault, really. I wasn't watching where I was going." He said. "I'm Drake."
"Justine." I said, smiling for reasons that I don't know.
"So how'd you like the show?" He asked.
"I thought it was pretty good." I remarked.
"So are you doing anything tonight?" He asked.
"I actually have to find my sister." I said as I turned to Alex on top of a surfboard. Her shirt was missing and she was obviously drunk
"I love San Diego!" She shouted as she fell off.
"That's her." I said in embarrassment as I walked over to Alex.
Alex then grabbed some equally drunk girl and started to make out with her.
"She must be pretty drunk." Drake stated.
"Yeah and she was my ride." I remarked. "I better go get her keys"
I walked up to Alex.
"Having fun?" I asked.
"Hey Justine, this is…" Alex slurred before she looked at the girl next to her. "What's yer name again?"
"Ashley." The other girl slurred.
"Right…I just remembered I needed to get something from the car, so I need the keys." I produced.
"Here you go!" Alex chirped as she handed me the keys and resumed making out.
"Nice." I heard Drake comment.
"Now that that's done, I need to find somebody to give me a ride." I remarked. "This makes me wish I had gotten a license."
"Why didn't you?" He asked.
"I live in New York." I explained. "Driving can be a real hassle there."
"You know I could probably give you a ride." He offered.
I briefly considered my options: There was trying to drive myself which I wasn't exactly good at (not to mention a larger chest might make it harder), get a cab, take the bus, or let this guy I just met drive. After much thought I handed him the keys. "If you crash the car you're dead." I said as I went back over to Alex.
"Come on, Alex, it's time to go." I said as I pulled her away from Ashley.
"Aww can Ashley come with?" She pleaded with large eyes.
Originally I was I going to say no. But then I figured it would be good to let her learn the consequences of her actions. "Sure." I replied.
"So is everyone ready?" Drake asked.
I walked out and saw Alex and her new friend, holding hands as they walked to the car. She would definitely have a strange morning.
Once we got to the hotel, Alex and Ashley rushed up to the room.
"So how are you going to get back?" I asked Drake.
"I was wondering if I could stay the night here." He said.
"No." I replied.
"Then I'll call my stepbrother." He said. "But if you want to go out some time while you're here, let me know."
"I've got a busy couple of days coming up, sorry." I said as I walked quickly away. I wasn't sorry because I wanted to get away from him. Going on dates is not something I plan for my weekend as a girl.
I went my room in the suite and was not hearing to hear noise coming Alex's. I couldn't help but wonder if Alex has done this before. I decided to grab a book from my bag and began to read until the noises ceased and I went to bed wearing something I found from the infinite suitcase.
So I wrote this story based off the end of the episode obviously. The idea to add Drake and Josh characters came later. I oirginally intended for this to be a oneshot but it was getting too long and I need to work on other stories, so I decided this will be a few chapters long.
Anyway Justine would be Ashley Greene and Ashley is Meghan Jette Martin
