2: The Old, The New and The Alex Part 2

"Alex we're not really going to find a lamp for her are we?" Harper asks.

"Of course not, I have a plan."

"What is it?"

Alex looks around, "More time for thinking."

"You don't have a plan?" Harper yells.

"Plan to do what?" Stevie asks startling them, "Remember this: If I don't come back and Gigi notices, let's just say I told her where your lair is."

"She wouldn't believe we had a secret room in our lair." Alex says.

"If I don't return she has nothing to lose by taking a look see now does she?" Stevie smiles and Alex with nothing to combat that with continues looking, at this moment it's one of those times she'd look for help from Justin but it looked like she was on her own.

"This is most fun I've had in a long time Juliet," Justin says holding her hand on the walk.

"Me too, I can't believe my boyfriend is the head of the Wizard World, didn't think that would happen in 2000 years, 2000 years later, my boyfriend is the head Wizard."

Justin laughs then trips over something in the sand, "Ow!"

"Are you alright Justin?"

"Yeah," Justin picked up what he stepped on, "It's a Genie's lamp. Guess I'll need to report this but I don't want anyone to see it, let me inform them."

"Go ahead, I'm fine." Juliet smiles and holds the lamp as Justin runs off. Juliet sits looking away from the approaching people she hadn't noticed, she wasn't paying attention to her sense of smell hanging out with Justin.

Behind the bushes Stevie points, "There's a lamp right there with that girl, maybe she's the genie."

Alex and Harper tilt their heads feeling like the back of her head and her figure were familiar. "I'll go first," Alex goes in quietly and sneaks up to the girl and slowly reaches for the lamp as she's grabbed and thrown over her shoulder and pinned.

"Gotcha!... Alex?" Juliet asks.

"Juliet is that you?" Alex asks as she lets her up.

"What are you doing here?"

"Same.. thing.. as you?"

"You're here with Mason?"

"Y-Yes of course, Mason!"

Mason comes from the bushes, "Well hello Juliet."

"You 2 must be a date too!"

"Too?" Alex gasps, "Is Justin here?" Alex says excitedly.

"Yeah he'll be back in a second." Juliet says suddenly making the situation with Stevie seem so much less comes out from the bushes and grabs the lamp while she was distracted.

"Nicely done Alex," Stevie says as she rubs the lamp.

"What's going on here?" Juliet asks.

"Alex was helping me retrieve a genie's lamp and you were the perfect bait." The genie rises from the lamp.

"I am-"

"Blah blah blah who cares," Stevie says, "Now that I think about it I think I can handle the genie myself. Genie, I wish I was a full wizard."

"So you've wished it and so it shall be!" The Genie grants her wish making Stevie glow in a bright gold and fades away.

"So this is how it feels to be a full Wizard, it's incredible. How good this feels, even better than I imagined."Stevie grinned, "I suggest you don't do anything you might regret now Alex, I'm a full Wizard and I can assure you I'm better than you." Stevie ways her wand and vanishes.

"What just happened?" Juliet asked.

"It's a long story..." Alex says.

"I'm back." Justin says, "Alex, Mason, Harper what are you all doing here?"

Alex looks around, "Whatever your doing?"

Justin crosses his arms, "uh huh..."

"How could you let that happen?" Justin asks.

"I didn't think I would run into Stevie again, last time we saw her she was a pile of rubble." Alex scratched the back of her head, "Come on Justin do you have any ideas?"

"No, if her luck is like yours it will blow up in her face." Justin says referring to Alex making Justin be forgotten.

"Not like anyone noticed you before you were invisible." Justin gives Alex a look of: You want my help or not?

"Sorry." Alex says while showing her teeth in a fake smile. "You're the big man now Justin can't you take her powers?"

"Professor Crumbs hasn't taught me how to do that yet, though it would be very helpful to know right now."

"This all started over the whole Wizard Competition," Mason says, "This could be avoided if it didn't have to happen. If you're in charge can't you do something about it?"

Justin paces for a moment, "I know what you mean I really do, but rules are rules and if I go around changing rules like that especially when I first start that could send me on a power trip and next thing you know it I'm a tyrant."

"You a tyrant? Video game characters don't even do what you want why would the wizard world?" alex says and Justin gives another look. Alex turns so she can't see his face anymore and quickly asks, "So what's the plan?"

"Nothing."

"What?" All of them ask.

"If we do something there's nothing stopping her from revealing magic, she got what she wanted and that was her powers back. If we just let her have them maybe she won't feel the need to take any drastic actions against anyone."

"He has a point," Harper says.

"We'll see how this plays out for now and I'll go talk to Professor Crumbs about it, until then you keep an eye on her and make sure nothng bad happens."
