(Alex POV)

A Not So Dreary Day:

My eyes fluttered open to bright, sunny morning. It was like many other days in my life. But this day held a depressing event in my eyes. This day, one year ago, was when Juliet, Justin, and the love of my life, Mason, fought in Transylvania. Juliet bit Mason and Mason scratched Juliet. Juliet, my brother Justin's vampire girlfriend, lost her vampire powers and turned into a 2,193 year old woman and walked off. Mason turned into a real wolf; the kind with fur and four paws. The kind you find in zoos. This day, one year ago, broke my heart, and it was breaking again.

Good thing today was a Sunday; I was in no shape to go to school today. I stood up and got dressed in my denim skinny jeans, a neon green v-neck tank top with a black slub cover up. I went next door to Justin's room and knocked lightly on the door.

"Justin," I said quietly.

"Alex," he asked.

"Yeah, can I come in?"

"Sure."

I opened his door and walked in. He was sitting in his desk chair, facing the wall, with a picture of Juliet in his hands.

"Missing Juliet," I asked.

"Every day… how are you doing," he asked.

"My heart ached from the moment I woke up. Mason was my first true love. I know it was the same for you and Juliet."

He just nodded. I walked over to his corner and gave him a hug.

"Come on, let's go get some breakfast and go to work. It's a Saturday so it will be busy," I said. He got up and we went downstairs. I pulled out two bowls and two spoons. Justin sat down and I pushed him the bowls and spoons. Then I went to the pantry and grabbed a box of cereal that we both liked. It turned out to be out favorite cereal that you could only get from the magic world. I sat down next to him and poured the two bowls. He ate his and I ate mine. When we finished almost simultaneously, we put the dishes in the sink and then went downstairs to the sub shop. Mom and Dad were down there, setting everything up for the lunch rush. I looked at the clock and it was 10:45. Everyone would be here soon. Justin and I went into the bag and grabbed out aprons and put them on.

When we came back out, Mom walked over.

"Okay listen up," she started. "Alex you are going to take orders and serve the customers. Justin, you are going to run the register and your father and I will be making the sandwiches."

"Where's Max," I asked.

"He is out with his friends for the time being. Probably a good thing though," Mom said.

We went to work fifteen minutes later when the first of the customers arrived. At around 1:35, I looked outside and saw a very old lady leading a dog on a leash. She looked suspicious.

"Justin, for two minutes, please cover my shift," I yelled and ran out the door.

When I got there, the old woman was in front of me.

"Alex," she said.

"How do you know my name," I asked.

"It's me… Juliet."

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. The dog barked but it sounded more like a howl.

"Is Justin here," she asked.

"Yeah. By the way, why are you carrying a dog around?"

"I'll explain in the lair," she said.

I pulled her in and yanked Justin from the register to the lair.

Thankfully, Justin and I just got onto our breaks so Mom and Dad couldn't stop us. I opened the door and led everyone in.

"Alex, why are we in here," Justin asked.

"Justin it's me, Juliet," Juliet told him.

Justin sucked in a sharp breath.

"Juliet," he whispered and slowly made his way over to her and hugged her. After five seconds, she pulled away and started explaining.

"You guys have got to help us," she started.

"Wait, what do you mean, 'us'," I asked.

"You see this here dog?"

"Yeah."

"It's not a dog. It's a wolf… a wolf named Mason who still loves you," she said.

I looked down at the wolf who was supposedly Mason.

"How can we help," Justin asked.

"You have to cast a spell on Mason, turn him back into his werewolf human hybrid self again. If you do that, my vampire powers will come back and we can be together again," Juliet explained.

"I'm on it," Justin said quickly. He went through the portal to the wizard world and in seconds, was back, singed.

"What did you do," I asked.

"Fought a dragon."

"Why?"
"I got Merlin's hat."

He placed it on my head and I closed my eyes. I wish Mason was his human and werewolf self again.

The wolf disappeared and in his place was Mason.

"Mason," I squealed and ran over to his open arms and hugged him.

"I've missed you, love," he said in his gorgeous British accent. I removed my head from his shoulder and kissed him. When we finished, I looked over at Justin who was smiling gently.

All of a sudden, Juliet, still in her 2,193 year old stage, fell over. Justin rushed over to her and got down his knees and picked her up. A white light replaced her and then she came back. She was again an adolescent vampire.

"Justin, you did," she breathed.

He put her down and they both stood up and she hugged him around the neck and him around her waist. The world was back in balance; I was back in Mason's arms and Juliet in Justin's. Mason put his arm around my shoulder and I hugged my arms around his arms. Justin put his arm around Juliet's waist and we all walked out into the Waverly Sub Station. Mom and Dad saw us with Mason and Juliet and Dad questioned us.

"Justin, why are you singed," he asked.

"I went into the wizard world to get Merlin's hat so we could turn Juliet and Mason back into their original states," he said the last part lovingly to Juliet. I put my head into Mason's shoulder. I sighed with contentment and then Mason signed too. I stole a quick glance at Justin and Juliet; they were staring at each other lovingly.

This dreary day that I wanted to forget forever was now a beautiful reunion. Life was perfect.
