Summary: " And she's going away on tour with Connect three!" "I love them!" "They're guys!"

Pairing: Mitchie/Alex


Alex rested her elbow on the counter, adopting a concentrated look. Her eyes narrowed and her lips pouted.

"Watcha lookin' at, babe?"

Mitchie Torres sat, straw in her mouth, opposite Alex. The sound of Mitchie slurping her milkshake brought a smile to Alex's face.

"You, silly." Mitchie rolled her eyes.

"Gee, I must be interesting!" she giggled at her girlfriend's antics, returning to her sweet drink. Alex grinned more.

"No, just hot." she quipped. The single sentence had exaggerated results; Mitchie blew noisily on her straw, instead of sucking, the frothy liquid exploded upwards. Alex looked with wide eyes at the mess of strawberry pink milkshake that Mitchie suddenly wore on her shirt.

"Oh Boy..." Mitchie mock glared, whilst looking around to see who had noticed the uproar.

"Understatement much?" she looked forlornly at the green shirt she was wearing, ruined! Alex threw off her apron.

"There is no way even my magic clean up skills could save that now - come on."

Alex captured Mitchie's hand and led her from the sub station and towards the spiral stairs.

Alex felt Mitchie entwine their fingers more intimately. It was one of her favourite things she and Mitchie did, besides kissing the rising-rockstar. Mitchie made her feel so wanted. She'd even wore the ruined green top today for her, because it was Alex's favourite colour. Mitchie had told her, and she had so taken pleasure in the flustered aftermath that was Alex Russo.

Their feet padded into the Russo household. Max was stationed at the kitchen, either making a sandwich...or a hamster cage. Alex couldn't tell the difference.

"Alex." Mitchie brought Alex away from her brother's strange activities. Alex, regretfully, let go of the girl's hand so that she could hold her shirt, avoiding spillage. If she's used magic, which she was totally gonna do once Mitchie changed her shirt, she would have had it cleaned by now.

"Where are we going?" Mitchie bunched up the bottom of her tee, revealing her flat stomach to the occupants of the living room, but seen as Max was preoccupied, it was just for Alex to take note of. Mitchie grinned in spite of the situation. The rockstar brushed up against Alex's side.

"Alex Russo." she smirked " Not with your brother in the room - you exhibitionist!"

Alex's mouth dropped.

"Mitchie!" she whispered, her hand subconsciously dancing on the back of her neck. Over the past two weeks that they had been dating, Alex could pin point the exact time - but that would have been an improper use of magic! She had grown used to Mitchie's random outbursts of innuendos, even so they never failed to surprise her.

She'd asked Mitchie when she'd started doing it. Her answer had once again left Alex slack jawed.

"Around when we met."

And with a wink that was her reply.

Alex shivered and playfully glared at her girlfriend, whose tongue was peeking form out behind her teeth.

"If you weren't so cute..." she loosely threatened.

Mitchie raised her eyebrows and tilted her head.

"I thought I was hot?"

Alex groaned and pushed the ever-growing-ego-girl the extra steps to her room. Her family was still in the dark about her relationship with Mitchie, and Alex was skillfully prepping her 'do-over' spell for when the time came - just incase things didn't work out.

Mitchie wandered or stumbled in after her. Alex realized this was the first meeting between the two.

'Room, Mitchie ; Mitchie, Room' she mentally introduced.

While the girl looked dazed Alex shoved some of her wizard homework into an open draw.

'Conversation for another day!' she cheerfully thought.

"I was expecting you to have the topless poster of me." Alex jolted around.

"There's a topless one?" she asked in all seriousness. Mitchie laughed shutting Alex's door with her foot.

"Maybe when I'm older." Alex scoffed.

"Maybe just for me." This elicited more giggles. She watched as Mitchie's eyes found her most recent poster - the one declaring her upcoming tour dates with Connect Three. Alex sighed.

"Noooo." Mitchie's face filled her vision. "None of that Mitchie-is-touring-so-I'm-gonna-be-boring-sighing!"

Alex ran her hands through her hair and put a happy face on. What she wouldn't give for it to be a real happy face, but her thoughts just wouldn't let her. She could sigh later, when her girlfriend's top was clean. Alex attacked her closet - manually. Something told her that having her wardrobe give her loud, verbal fashion tips wouldn't be subtle.

"This one should fit, plus y'know, its green - I'll put your other one in the wash..."

"Thanks Al' "

Mitchie held the milkshake stained shirt out to her and took the offered, clean one.

It took several seconds for Alex to realize that Mitchie wasn't wearing a shirt.

'Why isn't an alarm going off? Because something is smoking...' Alex could hear Justin's annoying pick up lines in her head.

"Alex?" Alex blinked. Mitchie made no attempt to put the shirt on.

"You with me still?"

Alex focused but couldn't stop her gaze from trailing Mitchie's back and stomach. Moving forward her fingers grazed the smooth skin of the girl's bare shoulder. She shivered, the clean shirt unmoving in her hands.

"Mitch-" Alex whispered, the atmosphere suddenly intense. Mitchie nodded, turning to face her girlfriend. She wrapped her bare arms around Alex. The girl exhaled and Mitchie felt her hot breath tingling her neck. Alex savored Mitchie's strong hug and allowed herself to move enough to kiss her. As their lips touched Alex became aware that her fingers roamed up and down Mitchie's exposed back, evoking small moans from the receiver. Alex felt a hand slip up her own shirt, resting a warm palm on her back.

"Whoa..."

A loud knock sent the girls flying apart. Mitchie struggled into the shirt, fixing her hair. Alex rushed to the door before anyone could barge in; she checked out / on Mitchie she opened it.

"What!" she demanded. Justin stood awkwardly at his sisters doorway, his face shocked at his sisters frustrated look, he hadn't done anything...had he? He quickly set his facial expression to : unimpressed. Alex sensed she's forgotten something.

"Dad wants you back in the shop. Just because Mitchie's here doesn't mean you can clock out." He added a small wave to Mitchie, who combed her hand through her hair, before walking to stand behind Alex, smiling nervously. Alex glared at her dorky brother.

"And just because your a guy..." Alex bumped her hip subtly into Mitchie's "...that doesn't mean you can ogle her."

Justin's mouth closed, he huffed. Alex grinned, using a wave of her hand she closed the door.

'Justin - 0, Alex - 458 and counting' she glowed. Mitchie wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's waist.

"Oh that was close."

"In more ways than one." Mitchie remarked. Alex nodded.

"But I...I didn't mind." She felt Mitchie bury her head into her neck.

"And neither would Justin." Mitchie snickered into her skin.

"What is your problem with that boy?"

"Apart from the fact he was researching into love potions?" Alex regarded offhandedly.

"What?" Alex stiffened at her question.

"I mean, uh...apart from the fact he uses all my body ...lotions?"

"Well his skin must smell lovely."

A beeping cut through their banter. Alex frowned as Mitchie unwrapped herself and fumbled for her phone. Whatever it signaled caused Mitchie to grimace.

"I've gotta get going."

"What? Why?" Mitchie adjusted in Alex's shirt.

"My moms being cornered by the recording studio - I need to redo some vocals." Alex's face must have echoed sadness.

"I'm sorry, I'll see you tomorrow, at my hotel - help me pack?"

Alex nodded and fell into Mitchie's 'goodbye' kiss. It was sweet and Alex felt it throughout her body. She felt like she needed to say something.

"I'll text you later" Mitchie waved and let herself out.

Alex pouted, annoyed at herself.

"That wasn't what I wanted to say." she berated before flipping her phone open. She hit speed dial '1' and awaited her advice.

"Helloooo!"

"Harper!" Alex threw Mitchie's dirty shirt on her bed. "She's going on tour. With Connect Three." she groaned, swishing her hand she focused her magic. The milkshake was no-more. Completely fat-free.

'That was tasteless, even for me' Alex thought.

"Wow! I love them!"

"Exactly my point - they're guys!" Alex flopped, defeatedly on her bed.

"Harper what if Shane Grey seduces her with his ham and pickle sandwiches or Nate Black tries to charm tries to charm her with his dishwashing skills?"

"Well I think it'd take less than that" Alex made sure Harper felt the phone glare she was giving.

"Not helping Harper."

"Look." the voice on the other end reasoned. "Mitchie wouldn't let them. She's told you everything that happened, and didn't happen, with her and Shane. It didn't work."

"But-" Alex protested.

"No buts!" Alex objected. "She loves you."

Alex weakly held the mobile as she registered Harper's admission. 'Love?'

"Alex?" Harper broke the silence.

"Did she-?" Alex cleared her stuffy throat. "Did she tell you that?"

The phone call had ended moments ago. Alex sat up against the headboard of her comfy bed, clutching Mitchie's magically clean shirt, replaying every look - touch - word.

'Does she love me?'

----****----

"What about...this one?" Mitchie held up a black blazer for Alex's opinion. They were packing up Mitchie's leisure clothing, as all her other clothes had been decided upon by the tour stylists.

"Very cute - professional." she winked causing Mitchie to grin and fold the jacket into her case.

"I wish I could fit in there..." Alex sighed. Mitchie jokingly looked between her and the case.

"I dunno...If I leave the blazer I reckon I could get at least half of you in here."

"Which half?" Alex questioned suggestively.

"Alex!" The girl paused taking in her sombre look. "What are you thinking?" she whispered, coming beside Alex. She was met with a mumble.

"Kidnapping...judges are kinda lenient on it these days..."

"What?"

"I'm devising a plot to keep you here." Alex said lost in thought. Mitchie raised an eyebrow.

"Really- whats your plan B?" she giggled.

"Love potion." Alex said matter-of-factly. The rockstar burst out laughing at the seriousness in Alex's expression.

"No joke! I got wicked potion brewing skills." Alex wiggled her eyebrows spurring more giggles from Mitchie.

"Just like your kissing skills?" Mitchie enquired.

"Oh no." Alex leaned closer to Mitchie "They're much better..." her voice went low.

"Really?" Mitchie closed the space between them and kissed Alex hungrily. Alex began to cup Mitchie's cheek when the girl pulled back slightly.

"Okay! I'm convinced." Alex looked into Mitchie's eyes. Something shot across her heart.

"Mitch?"

"Yeah Al'?" she used her nickname. It never ceased to turn Alex's insides into melted ice cream.

"I just want to say...before you go that it, that I lov-"

{ your the voice I hear inside my head the reason that I'm singing - I need to fffi- }

"Hold that thought." Mitchie whipped her phone from her pocket and looked at the caller ID.

"Its Shane." she told Alex, who plastered a smile on her face when Mitchie answered the call.

Alex flopped onto the mattress. She didn't like Mitchie's hotel bed. It was to hard and cold, unlike her own magically modified bed (which is so not the reason it was better). Mitchie rapidly spoke on the phone. Alex caught words like bus and close, along with just us and Alex couldn't stop the feeling on emptiness and depression overwhelming her again.

'Harper is wrong' she thought. 'I've known her what? 3 three weeks?...There's been no indication at all that she...'

Alex was distracted by the sudden swaying of Mitchie's hips heading towards her.

'...loves me?'

"Hey, sorry about that! Shane was being a drama queen about the bus." Mitchie ruffled her hand through Alex's hair affectionately.

"What were you saying?" Alex looked down at the plain hotel bedspread and rethought her next sentence.

"I love...your shoes."

----****----

"Oh my God, I love this one! Did you tell her to play it?"

Alex glared at Harper, the girl's enthusiasm wasn't infecting her like it normally would. She

tried to focus on the computer screen.

"Harper...its been 4 days, 16 hours and 37 minutes - does it look like I asked her?"

Harper's lips formed a thin line at Alex's outburst. They were huddled around the computer, logged onto the live web feed of the Connect Three / Mitchie Torres Florida show.

"Well you might have..."

"Well you thought wrong! And I thought wrong! And now she's on a tour bus with three slightly attractive guys!" Alex refused to compliment the members of Connect Three, while she was worrying about her girlfriend. Alex groaned and returned her eyes to the screen, where Mitchie had began to sing 'Who will I be?'.

"You weren't talking about the song were you?"

"Yuh think?"

Harper let out a loud sigh and placed a comforting hand on Alex's shoulder.

"Look Alex - I don't think I'm wrong about her. One way or another she loves you, and just because she's hanging out with 3 incredibly hot guys-"

"Harper, still not helping!" Alex exclaimed.

"They are thought! Anyway, it doesn't mean she's going to drop you like...like..."

"Like you drop dishes?"

"Exactly! Hey!" Alex allowed herself to revel in the memory. "I still can't believe you put a spell on me..."

It was still strange, Harper knowing her secret...her families secret - although it did make it easier not to lie when Harper invited her to the elderly home to volunteer...or her grandmother's birthday...oh get real, she still lied!

"I'm still eternally...repenting and stuff...anyway, what's your point?" Harper frowned at Alex's obvious dodge of an apology.

"I don't think I had one. Anyway why don't you just - I dunno, teleport us there?"

Alex gave her a sarcastic look.

"Uh, because there's rules and regulations and my dad would totally ...oh my god what am I saying? I'm turning into Justin!"

Harper looked her up and down.

"Well that would be interesting..."

"Harper!"

"I'm just saying!" Alex grabbed her best friend's arm and took one last longing look at the web feed of Mitchie and prepared her spell.

"Lets go!" Alex brought out her wand.

"I'm feeling kinda ditchy and me to see my Mitchie!"

----****----

The next sound heard was the roar of the Florida crowd screaming the chorus to ' Who will I be?'. The next thing they felt was -

"Ooooo I feel sick! I would say 'see' sick but I might throw up..."

"Me too." Harper clutched her stomach, her face paler than usual.

"Now I know why Dad gave us paper bags..."

"Oh tell me after you zap us into nowhere!" Alex looked around; black curtains blocked all view - at least no one had seen her spellwork.

"Where is she?"

"Follow the voice." Harper moved towards the nearest drape of black and pulled it back.

"Over there!" she pointed. Alex swiftly moved to follow Harper's line of sight. Bodyguards wandered past the open curtain, mere steps away, revealing the stage - and the girl grabbing the microphone passionately on it. Alex felt all the breath leave her body at the sight.

"Wow." Harper dropped the curtain back into place.

"Yeah, wow - how much security does the snack table need?" Alex scoffed.

"You haven't seen Mitchie when she gets the munchies." Alex pulled the curtain back once more to glimpse at her girlfriend on stage.

"I need to get to her." she whispered determinedly. She scanned the space between them and the stage, security moved randomly past their position.

"Don't you have like an invisibility cloak?"

"Enough with the Harold Potter references!"

"Its Harry and what? My BFF is a wizard and I'm not allowed to make pop culture references?"

"As of now? No." Harper grumbled. Alex looked around for something she could use in her plan to see Mitchie.

"There!" she exclaimed. A small trolley was positioned by. "We can use that...somehow."

"Like how? All we need is a bow and some wrapping paper to pass you off as a parcel to Mitchie." Alex rolled her eyes before shuffling from her hiding place to snatch the trolley. Harper kept careful watch.

"Right, whats the plan?" Alex pushed Harper so she sat on the trolley.

"If anyone asks - you fainted."

"What?" Harper said confused.

"Fainted" Alex repeated with emphasis.

"Oh! Righhht." With a dramatic swoon Harper lay back on the trolley. Alex began pushing her towards the stage, avoiding any wires that looked important. Reaching the edge, she obscurely positioned the trolley out of sight of the crowd. Mitchie's voice floated and reassured her ears. The last note of her song dispersed into the atmosphere and Alex was mesmerized by Mitchie's beauty on stage. Then her love spoke;

"Hey guys! How you all enjoying the show? Almost ready for Connect Three?"

Alex noticed the addition of the last question raised the noise level of the crowd quite noticeably.

"Woah - I'l take that as a yes; I've got just one more song for you all. It's new- and means a lot to me."

Mitchie was getting strapped into a sparkly green acoustic guitar.

"The reason its special is because I wrote it for someone that I've recently met, but she's become so important to me- "

Alex's heart lurched in her chest.

"She did not just..."

"I think she just did." Harper said in equal disbelief.

"So hopefully she's watching - I miss you Alex!"

The crowd let out a cheer as Mitchie struck the opening of the song on her guitar.

[ This state of mind has finally got the best of me,

I need you next to me, ]

Alex felt her eyes water, the emotions bubbling in her body.

"Alex, are you crying?"

"No, No! The teleportation spell. It has...weepy side effects."

"Your crying, aren't you?"

"I can't help it, she just said my name!"

"Well if thats all it takes-"

"Well that and her version of the Crazy Funky Junky Hat song." Alex regained her cool as Harper shoved her in the shoulder.

"Hey!" Alex whined, lookin away from Mitchie to Harper.

"You told her about that?" Harper accused.

"You told Justin." Alex retorted, desperately wanting to get back to watching Mitchie.

"We made fun of his Sombrero! I owed it to him."

"I still say he was compensating for something..." Alex trailed off to hear the ending chorus of Mitchie's new song.

[ Until your mine I have to find,

A way to fill this hole inside

I can't survive

Without you here by my side

Until your mine! ]

Mitchie passionately played her guitar, belting out the song with an energy almost unseen by her before. Alex beamed with pride. Mitchie panted as she finished and smiled her trademark smile to the jumping crowd.

"Thank you! And thanks to Alex for inspiring me to write that!"

The noise faded away, the crowd disappeared and Alex remembered - the tune - the rhythm - the humming.

{ They finished the tables in no time and Alex gladly sat between Mitchie's legs in one of the sub stations booths.

"See you still have both your hands."

"Good, I might need them for...school...or something." Mitchie wrapped her arms around Alex's slim waist, holding the girl further into her body, she kissed the top of her head. Alex could feel her eyes drooping to the faint humming emitting from Mitchie's mouth.

"Wha's that?" she murmured.

"Just a song." }

"I was there" she stated to herself, in disbelief. Harper pushed Alex forward, almost onto the stage.

"Look she's moving, run out!"

"On stage?" Alex said monotonously.

"Yeah, why not?"

"Hell-o, all the people?" Alex exclaimed loudly, even over the ongoing crowd noise. Harper looked over her shoulder curiously.

"Well I don't think she'd mind."

Alex turned around in shock to see her ecstatic girlfriend calling and waving for her to come on stage.

"Cute girlfriend, say what?"

"Come on!" Mitchie's voice could barely be heard, but it was still enough to seduce Alex's feet into moving, step by step; which wasn't fast enough for Harper - who gave her a running push.

Alex hardly recovered as she stumbled ungracefully into the full view of the crowd. Mitchie enthusiastically took her hand and the nearest microphone.

"Florida! Say 'hi' to Alex!"

Alex could not believe the masses as they complied with Mitchie's request, hundreds and thousands shouted a greeting back to her. Shaking, she waved back.

"How are you here?" Mitchie asked off mic. Alex tore her eyes away from the never ending crowd and to her stunning girlfriend.

"Magic?" she offered squeezing the hand encased in Mitchie's.

"Seriously." Alex quickly spied Harper behind her giving her an encouraging thumbs up.

"So...we drove here..."

"That must have been hard, roads are completely jammed!"

"As I said, we flew here..." Alex interrupted. Mitchie grinned at Alex, providing intimacy infront of 5,000 people. Alex found herself drawn into the girl more and more...she had to say something.

"Mitchie, there's something I need to tell you..." Mitchie looked at Alex seriously before motioning off stage.

"Not here?"

"Um- no, it really can't wait. I just wanted, I need you to know..."

Looking back at it; only Mitchie wouldn't have noticed how tangled her feet were in microphone wires, and only Alex would catch the piece of expensive equipment - and continue her sentence.

"...I love you Mitchie."

It was projected for miles. The large video screens on the sides of the stage showed the equal shocked expressions the girl's wore and the breathless one exclusive to Mitchie. Slowly Alex stood the mic up on its own. She was in shock. 5,000 people had just heard what she'd said. 5,000 people! The mic wobbled slightly as Mitchie took hold of it, she brought it to her lips, brushing the cool metal against her mouth. With a chance look at the suspense filled crowd she smiled at Alex.

"I love you too."

It was music to Alex's ears. The clapping and whistling from the crowd deafened the air like never before - not stopping, growing louder when Mitchie kissed Alex's cheek, leaving both girl's glowing in happiness.

----****----

"See! See there!" Justin Russo pointed smugly at the computer screen.

"She's there! On stage!" Justin paused the video allowing his parents to view the clear image of Alex Russo standing next to Mitchie Torres.

"There is no way she could have gotten to Florida, without using magic" He expressed. Jerry continued to stare in disbelief. Theresa patted her husband on the back, beginning to see what her husband hadn't noticed for weeks. Their little girl...

"Jerry..."

"Dad you can't let her get away with this."

"Justin, hold your tongue for a minute."

"But Mom..."

"Bzz!" She pinched his lips together with her fingers, giving him her mom-rules-all look, which he submitted to.

"Jerry..." She attempted again.

However before she could gauge his reaction the door swung open, revealing her daughter, Harper and Mitchie Torres.

"...I can't believe you lost your plane tickets!" Mitchie berated. Harper's eyes widened as she saw the Russo's standing over the computer.

"That's us! Plane-ticket-losing Alex and Harper." The sentence was polished with an abnormally large smile. Alex saw the oncoming look of ' Dad-is-so-mad-and-its-probably-at-Alex-so-hide' and motioned to Harper.

"I'll see ya later Alex." She squeaked before swiftly escaping the house. Jerry approached his daughter trying to keep his anger in.

"Jerry!" Theresa began.

"Alex Russo!" Jerry started.

"You are in sooo much trouble." Justin gloated, but his face fell when Mitchie gave him an unimpressed look.

"Do you have any idea how many times I've told you-?"

"Dad" Alex subtle looked at Mitchie as she stopped her Dad's rant.

"Ix nay on the agic may!" she reminded. Mitchie fiddled awkwardly with her jacket as Jerry's face went several different colours before he managed to calm himself, he couldn't rant with a witness.

"...not to go on impromptu road trips..." he finished with a pathetic cover up.

"Especially ones were you declare your love for Mitchie without telling us first." Theresa nagged.

Jerry watched as the girl's head snapped up in surprise.

"You saw?" They said in unison.

"That was on the video?" Justin scrambled back to the computer, completely ignoring the previous relevation.

"Yes, we saw." Theresa's prescence calmed the situation.

"And?" Alex hesitantly asked. Mitchie ignored the fact her girlfriend's parents were right in front of her and she wrapped her arm, sercurely around her waist. Theresa's expression softened.

"Oh honey! Did you think we would be angry?" Alex leaned for comfort into Mitchie's embrace and nodded. Theresa moved and engulfed both girls in a hug.

"Of course I'm not! I'm so happy for you, and if you love her then you have my full support."

Alex and Mitchie separated so Alex could return the hug less awkwardly. After she looked towards her Dad. Mitchie exchanged nervous smiles with Alex's mom.

"Dad?" Jerry looked at his daughter with soft eyes. He took in her unsure stance, her wide eyes...

"Yeah, me too, come here hun." Alex felt a great weight lift from her shoulders and launched herself into her dad.

"Thank you both so much, you have no idea how much this means to me."

Jerry wrapped Alex in a hug, motioning for Theresa to join in. Alex spied Mitchie watching the family scene.

"Hey you." Alex slowly detatched herself from her parents and engulfed her girlfriend lovingly.

"Hey 'Lex"

"Did I mention that I love you?" Alex asked dreamily. Mitchie's eyes were dark and seductive.

"Yes, to me and 5,000 people."

"Good." and then Alex was kissing her before she realized, and her mother cleared her throat noisly to remind her that she, and her dad was still there.

"What?" Alex embarassedly asked, she arms still lingering on Mitchie's sides.

"I think you broke your father." Alex hurriedly turned to see her dad starting to blubber incoherantly.

"...the first kiss...and then...then the Quinceañera ...and now a girlfriend?"

Justin reappeared, the rest of Mitchie's concert could be heard playing in the background.

"Hey, at least there won't be any mini Alex's anytime soon." Theresa rewarded her son's quick wit with a slap the the shoulder.

"Ow! What? Its true!" Alex shifted her hips suggestively to Mitchie.

"I dunno, Mitchie's got mad skills."

Suddenly Mitchie felt the Russo household turn their questioning heads and curious eyes onto her form. Alex started to lead her away from her prying family to the safety and less-crazy environment of her room.

"What? She does." Alex turned to Mitchie's red face and concert hair - the look forming various images to her mind as they escaped her worried parents and interested brother.

"And maybe that was too much information..."

Mitchie cupped her cheek as soon as they were behind Alex's closed door, bringing her nose to brush against Alex's.

"Just kiss me you dork."

Alex may have stood before 5,000 people to say 'I love you' but she preferred her room and this moment, for just the two of them.
