"Oh, my gosh…is that really…"

Mason was standing in front me. I rubbed my eyes. Then Juliet appeared.

"Justin," I whispered. "I hate dreams like this. Wake me up."

Justin appeared as shocked as me. "This isn't a dream," he whispered back.

I stared at him in shock. "It's…" I reached out and poked Mason. I staggered back. "OH MY GOSH!"

Mason smiled. "I'm not an illusion, either," he said, and then I hugged him. I couldn't tell, but I think Justin hugged Juliet, too.

"I can't believe this," I whispered. It was then that I realized I was crying. "How did this happen?"

A tall guy I didn't recognize stepped next to Mason. I looked at him and then asked Mason, "Who's the dude?"

Mason chuckled. "Eric," he said. "You can thank him for us being here."

I looked at him. "Wizard?" I guessed.

"Yep."

"Cool." I nodded in approval.

Justin reached out his hand and Eric shook it. "Nice to meet you," he said firmly. "My name's Justin."

"Justin Russo?" Eric asked, standing back to get a better look at Justin. Then he nodded. "Yeah, I've heard of you."

"Hopefully good things?"

Eric shrugged. I laughed, and Justin shot me an icy glare.

"Justin, stop fighting with your sister," Juliet commanded. Justin looked at her and sighed. "I have to give in to you," he smiled, before kissing her. I almost fake-gagged, but I was still in shock from seeing Mason and Juliet again that I didn't.

I touched my stomach. "Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore," I observed. I smiled up at Mason. "You fixed it."

"Alex, let me clarify," Mason interrupted. "We had only gone about a week being apart…and you were so sad?"

"I was sad because I thought I would never see you again," I told him. "But here you are, so no more pain." I smiled again.

"I missed you," he said.

"Ditto." I patted my pocket and added, "I got your note. Thanks."

"You're quite welcome."

I heard a thud thud thud and froze. Mom and Dad.

"What's all the screaming?" Mom's voice flooded in from the kitchen.

"Is there a spider?" Dad asked nervously. "Because I'm not killin' it."

Mom's clicky-heel footsteps got closer, and I whispered to Mason, "Go hide. Get Juliet, and hide."

Mason looked at me, confused, but I said, "Just go! In my room! GO!" He scrambled to grab Juliet and the two of them disappeared into my room.

"What the heck?" Justin screeched. "I just got her back and already…"

"Shut up," I growled. "Mom and Dad are coming. You know they'll hate them for leaving us."

I guess he agreed with me, because he stayed quiet. Mom and Dad appeared in the hallway.

"No spider," I said. "But there is Justin's face."

Mason laughed from inside my room. I laughed to cover it up.

"Not. Funny." Justin hissed. I shrugged.

"Seriously, what is going on?" Mom asked. "And is someone in there?" She looked at my door.

"No!" I yelled, a little too quickly.

"I'm going in there," Mom ignored me. She stepped forward and opened the door to reveal Mason and Juliet leaning in the doorway.

"What is this?" she asked calmly. "…I thought…"

"We listened to you two crying for a week and they're back?" Dad asked blankly.

I nodded. "Well, we didn't know," I admitted. "We thought they were gone for good."

It was then I realized Eric was gone. "Hey," I nudged Justin. "Where's Eric?"

Justin shrugged. "He must have flashed out."

I envied him.

"Well, how did this happen?" Mom asked. "And we want answers. Now."

"Allow us to explain, Mrs. Russo," Mason said charmingly, stepping out of my room. Juliet followed him out and stood next to Justin. Mason stood next to me, and they explained everything. Starting from right after they left us to when they got here. I was strangely fascinated.

Dad yawned. I rolled my eyes.

"Well that's a lot to…take in…" Mom said. She shook her head. "Wow. Wait, is Eric here?"

"No," Juliet said. "He left."

"How on Earth…"

"He's a wizard, Mom," Justin told her. "He flashed out."

Mom shuddered. "Ugh, I hate that," she murmured.

I laughed. "I know."

Mason looked at my parents. "Will you please let us back into your lives?" he asked. "We will never hurt them again, we promise."

I wanted to hear Juliet say something. The only thing I'd heard her say was "No, he left". I looked at Justin and wondered if she'd said anything to him. Apparently she had- why would she be silent if she had just gotten to Justin again?

"Fine." Mom sighed. "I'm okay with it…Jerry?"

"Yeah, yeah, sure," Dad dismissed. Then he left.

"That was weird," I said. Justin nodded, and then Mom left.

"These past few days feel like a blur," Juliet said. "Even for a vampire. It feels like a dream."

Justin smiled. "Yeah, but we're all together again, so who cares?"

"That doesn't exactly make sense," I told him. He just shrugged.

"Oh, well."

Oh, well was right. In that moment, nothing mattered. I was with Mason again, and Justin was with Juliet. This was now.

And I would never forget it.
