Chapter Name: California, Here I Come

Alex Russo groaned in boredom. Her brothers, Justin and Max, didn't even notice. She glared at them. They were playing some new game on their brand new Wii. Justin was waving around some glowing toy-like sword and Max was cutting the air with a lit up toy-like wizard staff. Alex rolled her eyes.
"Could you guys step away from your fantasy of becoming wizards and do something with me? I'm bored." She complained. School had let out just a week ago and she was already bored.
"Go find Harper." Justin said, not taking his eyes off of the TV screen. Alex glared at his back.
"Harper is with her parents in Beijing. The Olympics are being held there and they are going to watch the Olympics while they wait to adopt their daughter. Remember? They finally get to go through with the adoption?" She asked.
Her brothers weren't even listening to her. "I know! Why don't you go hang out with Dean?" Max suggested, waving his staff around.
"Dean is at sports camp for the summer. His older brother is a counselor and convinced the camp director to let Dean become a junior counselor for the summer." Alex huffed.
"Go make new friends, then. In case you didn't notice, Max and I are kind of busy here." Justin said. Alex got off of the couch and placed her hands on her hips. She stomped over to TV. She stood in front of it and stared at her older brother.
"No! You go make some real friends. It's kind of pathetic for an eighteen to be playing with his fourteen year old brother, doncha think?" She demanded. Max started to laugh. She spun her heel and turned to face her younger brother. "You quit laughing! You're always mean to Justin, why are you being so nice now?" She questioned.
"I'm winning!" Max protested defensively.
"Liar! You are not! I am!" Justin stated angrily. All three of the Russo sibling began arguing. It was at that moment when Theresa and Jerry, their parents, walked in.
"Whoa! Break it up! We have some very important news for all of you." Their mom, Theresa, said. The three kids stopped arguing. "That's better." She turned to her husband. "Would you like to tell them?" She asked. He nodded. Three brown haired heads swiveled toward him.
"Okay, guys. Your mother and I were offered the chance to turn our little sandwich shop into a franchised business." Jerry told his kids. They blinked.
"Honey, maybe you should tell them where we are spending the summer." Theresa whispered. He nodded.
"Well, we have to go to California to close the deal and get everything in order. In return, the company, Walker Foods Inc., has rented us a house in California for the summer. They have also bought us a shop in California. They want us to make an exact copy of Waverly Sub Station. So we'll be spending the rest of your summer vacation in California." Jerry informed his children. They froze in shock.
"Ca- Cali- California?" Alex stuttered. Her father grinned.
"Yep! We figured it would bring us closer together. As a family." Theresa said. An uncomfortable silence followed. Lately, Jerry and Theresa had been arguing. A lot. They tried to keep it quiet, but the kids noticed. Justin, the peace keeper, tried to ignore it and act like everything was okay. Alex, the trouble maker, told her brothers she thought they were doing to get divorced. Max, the eavesdropper, insisted that they were just having a disagreement. Their parents wondered if they should just get divorced, but they decided to give it one more shot before making up their minds.
"And... what if it doesn't? What will we do then?" Justin questioned cautiously. His parents exchanged a look.
"One of us will stay in California and the other will come back here, to New York." Jerry explained. All three of the kids prayed that the whole family would be returning to New York. They couldn't imagine what life would be like without both of their parents together. They evened each other out.

Theresa took Alex shopping for their trip to California. They each bought a set of luggage. The set had a suitcase with wheels, two regular suitcases, a humongous duffel bag and a backpack. Alex's luggage set was light purple and her mother's set was navy blue. Alex bought lots of Bermuda shorts and skirts, jeans, leggings, shorts and shirts. She also bought two tankinis, a couple of sun dresses, bras, panties and socks. Along with ballet flats, sandals and regular shoes.
Alex packed for California. After all of her clothes were packed, she packed her books, DVD's and her laptop. She never went anywhere without her laptop. Besides, she had to email Harper and Riley and let them know that they weren't the only ones who were going to have an awesome summer vacation!

Alex was extremely bored on the plane. She didn't pay for Internet access, so she couldn't email anyone or read Fanfiction or watch videos on Youtube. Her iPod had died hours ago. All of her books were in the cargo area of the plane. The movie the airplane was showing was stupid. Her turquoise blue LG Scoop phone had died that morning, before she had even boarded the plane. Alex sighed. There was nothing for her to do for the next two hours. She looked at Justin on her right. His iPod was working, but he only had documentaries on his iPod. She snorted, it was a waste of gigabytes. She looked at Max on her left. He had fallen asleep, his comic book on his lap. She decided to take a nap to pass the time.
Theresa and Jerry sat next to each other by the window. Their children were sitting in the seats across the aisle. They were talking in hushed tones, trying hard not to let their children hear their discussion.
"Jerry! I don't care! If things go wrong, I'm staying in California. I miss the hot climates that I'm used to. You are a native New Yorker! You belong there! Besides, you started the shop. Not to mention, you would die if you didn't see the New York Mets." Theresa pointed out.
Jerry shook his head. "If we split up, where will the children go? They are native New Yorkers, too! Justin wouldn't leave school or his girlfriend, Miranda. Alex wouldn't leave the stores or Harper or Dean behind. Max loves his siblings too much, wherever they go, he follows." He argued. Theresa rolled her eyes.
"They can choose who to live with. They are old enough to make their own decisions! Besides, Justin will be going to college at the end of the summer. Whoever he lives with won't matter, he'll be gone. As for Alex, she and Harper have been growing apart, she and Dean broke up and she hates Gigi. Max will make up his own mind." Theresa insisted. Before Jerry could reply, the pilot announced that they would be landing soon. Instead of bickering, he woke up Max and Alex, whom had been sleeping.
As soon as her father woke her up, excitement buzzed through her veins, tainting her bloodstream and filling her blood with giddiness and hyperactivity, She couldn't wait for the plane to land and begin her summer as a California girl. That included the beach, boys, tanning, boys star searching, boys, shopping and boys! She shivered in excitement. While the plane began its descent, her heart just now took off from the runway. It wouldn't land until she left California behind.

Okay, so that's the first chapter! Please, read and review! I won't update until I get 5 reviews. Trust me, you'll want to read the next chapter! Here's whats coming up!
Chapter Three: Welcome to the Neighborhood
Coming Soon: "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, OW!" Alex moaned, rubbing her tender head as she saw stars, blocking her vision. "Sorry! Here!" A hand was thrust into her face, but she couldn't grasp the hand. The hand was joined by another hand and they grabbed her wrists and yanked upward, pulling her to her feet. When she was finally seeing things clearly, she looked up to see the person who caused her headache. And she almost fell again. Connect Three. The Connect Three was standing in front of her, in her driveway.
