Alex: I love myself.

Me: I love myself.

Alex: Stop repeating me!

Me: Stop repeating me!

Alex: I didn't!

Me: I didn't!

Alex: I own nothing.

Me: I own nothing. Aw, shoot. Really?

Alex: Yep.

Me: If you say so.

Alex: I do.

"Where exactly IS home?" Alex said.

"Across the street. Duh! Did you hit your head or something?" Justin asked. But Alex was already out the door. She saw Dean coming in. Now was the time to see whether their love had really survived, all these years? Yeah, this had to be the future, she'd never heard of the Late Nite Bite before.

"DEAN!" She ran up and jumped into his arms.

"Russo? Why are you hugging me?" Dean asked, surprised.

"Why not?" Alex asked. Then came the answer she never wanted to hear.

"Because we broke up a long time ago." Dean answered, stunned. Alex turned around and ran to the Waverly Sub station, crying. Why would they break up? When was this? She threw herself on her bed and hugged her pillow.

"Alex? Alex? Alex?" She heard someone calling her name. She stopped crying, rubbed her eyes and sat up. It was her mom.

"What's wrong honey?" She asked.

"Dean broke up with me." Alex said.

"He broke up with you a long time ago." Said Teresa Russo. "Right?"

"I'm not from this time. A while ago, well, to you anyway, I used magic the wrong way and ended up back in time, then I went through a portal and ended up in the future…" Alex cut herself short. If she had found a portal in the lair in the past, there would be a portal now, in the future!! Alex ran to the lair, taking the steps three at a time. Sure enough, there was a portal. Alex jumped through it and was overwhelmed to find herself sitting in the stool she always sat in during magic lessons. But something was wrong. Horribly wrong. There was no-one else here. BUMP! BOOP! BIMP! POMP! Alex whirled around. There was another girl lying at the foot of the stairs. Did she trip and fall? Alex helped the other girl up. She was horrified. The girl was Juliet. She suddenly stood up and glared at Alex. Then she smiled a wicked smile. Juliet melted, and a perfect duplicate of Alex was standing there.

"It's too bad your brother was so into her, it led him right into the trap." The other Alex hissed.

"Give me my family back!" Alex yelled.

"Never." The weird voice sounded almost squeaky.

"You will hand them over." It wasn't a question. Never before had Alex felt this way about her family. All of a sudden, Alex attacked, using the little strength she had, she lunged.
