I know this sucks in the beginning but it will start to get better in the ending of the chapter (I hope,)

Oh and there are alot of time skippies in this. Sorry for that. So whenever you see a line they are in a different time or in a different place.

Enjoy!

It had been two quick weeks since she had known. The days passed quickly causing Alex to get on a level of sadness she tried to hide. She pretended not to care, and not to notice the obvious pity around her, but it was hard to when you keep getting sorrow eyes looking at you every time you go to school. Even Gigi, the schools gossiper, was feeling bad for her.

Overall the disease did put a dawn on her. A dawn she tried to hide. When she didn't have the disease, she didn't care about her health at all. Oh how she wished she could have corrected that. Maybe if she would have, she wouldn't have gotten the disease.

There was some much stuff she had wanted to do in her thirties! What use was it now? Then something hit Alex. A year ago her mom and her went to this movie called "The Bucket List," She wouldn't have agreed to go if she knew what it was about but now it gave her an idea.

Alex was going to create her own bucket list.


"Dr. that's impossible a disease can't just appear," The nurse redirected.

"Well look here, Alex was an rather unhealthy teen, but she had no heart problems, kidney problems, lung problems, and overall no health problems. There were no signs of any disease building. It was like it appeared by magic!"


"Well, I think this is a great idea! You see, going there wasn't just a 'Waste of time'" Teresa encouraged. Alex shifted awkwardly. "What's the first thing on the list?" Teresa asked.

"Um, visit some place new," She answered. Teresa shifted uncomfortably.

"Well, I'll check with dad," Teresa lied. She knew that with a substation business, they probably wouldn't be able to take Alex anywhere other then 5 miles.


"Oh come on' can't she just go to the other side of Waverly?" Jerry begged. Teresa shook her head.

"Alex, good news! Pack up we're going to California!" Alex gasped.

"Awesome! I'll get to meet the worlds greatest slacker!" She yelled excitedly. She rushed to her room. She let her wand be her packer and dragged the heavy luggage bag to the living room.

"So when are we leaving?" She gasped for air as she set the luggage bag down on the couch.


The clouds passed through the window. Alex looked down. The people seemed as small as ant and the houses looked as tiny legos.

"So what's next on your list?" Teresa asked trying to be conversational.

"Sing a song in front of people," She replied. Teresa nodded. Alex continued to stare out the window.

"Do you want anything?" Teresa asked, but she quickly dodged the cart as it came by.

"Um, yeah. Apples." Alex said, almost gagging at the words that had come out. Teresa's eyes widened. She never expected to see the day Alex at healthy.

"Um, okay, excuse me madam'! A bag of apples," Teresa called after. The waitress threw her a bag. Alex opened the plastic container and placed a slice in her mouth. The slimy fruit slide down her throat. She shivered and placed another one in her mouth. Her mom seemed to since her discomfort and said, " You know you don't have to eat it if you don't want to," Teresa reassured but Alex made a face and chewed on another one.

"Attention, 2 more hours until we land in California, 2 more hours," The pilot's assistant informed. Alex moaned, it had already been 2 days; she didn't know how much more of this she could take. And to make it all worse her butt was numb.

4 hours later

"Jerry, why don't we just ask for directions?" Teresa said. Jerry shook his head; he was determined to find the hotel.

"I told you, I've got this!" He reassured. "Is this 9th street or 6th street?" Teresa rolled her eyes and flipped the map around. Jerry, embarrassed, claimed he knew that. Teresa sighed and rolled her eyes again.

"There it is!" Jerry pointed. Teresa opened the door and led the kids out. Alex looked around. The hotel door was embroidered with a beautiful solid gold ribbon. Teresa smiled and motioned for Alex to open the door. She hesitated but opened it. The hotel was a beautiful, rich, palace that looked all to over-the-top for Alex. But Alex saw Teresa's face and pretended to look shocked and excited.

"And look there's the pool!" Alex added, adding an excited face. Teresa smiled and set their luggage down on a cart as the employees showed them to their rooms.


The room was quiet. Silent snores filled the large room. Alex slipped on her slippers and tiptoed into another room. She looked around, wondering if the walls could hold sound. She gripped the guitar and began singing. She hoped no one could hear her.

Teresa flipped around. You think in an expensive hotel room they'd have more comforting beds. She got up and grabbed a glass of water. One thing was for sure; Jerry was not going to forgive her for almost breaking all their vacation money for years to come in one trip. She heard a faint sound in the distant. At first she thought it was the rustling of the pipes but it soon turned into a harmony. She followed it to another room. She could now hear a person singing clearly. It was Alex. She was about to open the door, but she didn't want to break the confidence.

Singing aloud for real, check.


Teresa was combing Alex's hair. She streaked each strain with a special procedure, so that Alex's hair would turn out fluffy instead of flat. Alex was calmly reading a magazine. She and Teresa barely ever did this, but normally Alex would have had her little doll to stroke with. Teresa put her hair in a beautiful pony with colorful ribbons. Alex didn't mind, this might have been her last hair exchange with her mom.

"So what's next on your list?" Teresa asked, taking another strand of hair and braiding it.

Alex hesitated a tad but spoke, "Get an A," She waited for her mother's reaction. She could feel the hard braid drop and hit her back.

"Wow, Alex I'm so glad!" But it hit Teresa suddenly. They had pulled her out of school for the vacation. No possible way of giving Alex a test. Alex just sat there browsing through a magazine when Teresa struck an idea. A slow smile spread across her face. She was going to give Alex this test if it killed her.


Morning sun was blinding. Alex let out a grunt and pulled the covers over her head. The sunlight managed to seek through the cracks and shun in her eyes. She moaned realizing the morning sun won this round.

She got up brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and got changed. She really didn't care about hygiene or anything but her mom nagged on her saying that this was an 'expensive hotel' and you needed to 'look nice,' She moaned in the memory as she walked down the stairs. Sure enough, her mom was there setting up breakfast. A smile was spread across Teresa's face, but there was something different about this one. Almost satisfaction.

"Hey there sweetie, eat good, you have a test today," Alex dropped her fork. She shivered. School on vacation? That was just wrong!

"Mom, what do you mean I have a test today?" She asked hoping the answer might be something fun like a water park test.

"You have test today. I'm allowing you 3 hours of studying so you can get an A," She replied, grinning so hard it hurt. Alex sighed. For once, can't you be normal? We're on a vacation here! Which means no school! Alex had felt like saying, but instead stuffed her mouth with pancakes so the words could not come out. Alex nodded in approval and tried to hide her madness with a smile.

"Okay well here are your books, if you need some help I'll be just over there," Teresa smiled. Alex silently scowled as she watched her mom flip on the TV.

She browsed through the books. How long had it been? She was sure it had been more then three hours. Her brain began to push away the information. Her head began to hurt along with her eyes. She kept waiting for it to be over.

"Mom, how long has it been?" She asked adding a hint of a grunt in.

"It's only been an half an hour," Her mom replied preoccupied with the TV. She moaned and forced her brain and eyes to read more.


Teresa graded the paper. Alex shifted uncomfortably waiting. She was sure she got an A. She had been staring at the book for three hours straight, it was impossible not to!

Teresa continued to grade. She tried to hide her sadness in Alex and covered it with a smile. She couldn't lie that Alex had gotten an A, but she didn't want to break Alex's heart. She knew she'd have to give Alex a C but it was a small lie. She could pull it off.

"Congrats Alex! You got an A!" She smiled. Alex jumped up and down.

"YES! I got an A! I knew Buzz Aldrin was the first person to walk on the moon!" She kissed the paper and ran out.

Get an A, check.


Alex was bouncing a ball off the wall. She wasn't doing it for fun, rather to annoy the people in the other room, who kept complaining. She could hear them yelling which caused her to giggle. She put the ball away and sat down. What was next on her list? She couldn't remember. She pulled out her list and browsed threw it.

"Get married?!" she whispered in a tone indicating she was clearly shocked. Who was she supposed to get married to? She wasn't dating anyone, and her mom would surely not approve. Maybe she could get fake married. Fake married with who? She decided to put the 'get married' one on hold.

She flipped off the light and set down the paper. She snuggled close with her blanket and shifted into sleep.

Teresa stalked in. She was careful not to step on anything that might awaken her daughter. She smiled as she saw her daughter sleeping peacefully for once. She tiptoed to the dresser and slowly opened it. She picked up the led covered paper and read it quietly aloud.

"Visit some place new, eat something healthy, sing aloud, do hair exchange with mom, get an A, GET MARRIED?!?" Teresa covered her mouth. She slowly put the paper back in and ran. Alex flinched a tad but went back to sleeping.


The man grunted. Alex was perfectly fine! He didn't understand! The crystals, they should have worked! She should have been dead by now! But she was sleeping like the first night he had come. He threw the crystal ball to the ground and it shattered into many pieces.

Nothing was going as planned. Alex was fine! He was sure that Alex was going to live. He browsed threw the drawers and shelves throwing anything that would not help him.

He came across a small bottle with a death sign on it. He peeled the label only to reveal another one.

"Death crystals?" He murmured. A small, devious small spread across his face.


Teresa turned Alex around.

"Perfect! Don't you just love your wedding dress?" Teresa commented. "Remember though! This is a fake wedding! Don't get any ideas. I have to go get the camera!" Teresa squealed. Alex turned. The fluffy dress was piercing into her thigh but she ignored it and pretended to like it for her mom.

Teresa walked toward the camera.

"Okay let's get ready for the rehearsal!" She yelled. Teresa walked toward her two sons.

"Ugh, I never thought I would have to say this but one of you, marry your sister!" Teresa ordered.

Justin and Max looked at each other like they might gag.

"Justin, I can't marry Alex! Then I won't be able to marry Petunia," Max stated. Justin threw him a confused look. "That's right, I'm marrying a robot named Petunia, be jealous," Max said then tried to stalk off. Justin stopped him.

"Wait! Whose Alex's ex-boyfriend? And who do we know who lives here?" Justin implied.

"Oh, I get it, we're making a robot!" Max said excitedly. Justin threw him another confused glance and walked off.


Alex twirled around in her wedding dress, trying to show her mom she loved it. She was honestly hoping on her wedding day she could wear a dress that looked as if it survived a paint gun war.

She slowly walked down the aisle with Jerry. It wasn't a real aisle, just one Max had made out of toilet paper. Jerry let her go and walked back by Teresa.

He sniffled, "They grow up so fast!" He cried.

Alex heard the door behind them open. She turned around.

"Dean?"

Well I warned you that there were alot of skippy scenes. I swear the next one won't have that much! It was way too much I agree!

Okay, no this is not a Dalex! I mean this is not a love story! You can interpret whatever couple you want to but I am not making any couples. You will soon find out who that mysterious guy is. Also you can say this is rushed, but the whole story is not about the bucket list, it's more about, well you'll see.

Anyway sorry for it taking so long. The fanfiction link on my computer broke so as soon as I got it back I tried to type as fast as I could! If this chapter sucked review saying you want it re-written, and I'll try and re-write it!

Review!
