"It's… for the best. I promise. We can hope that we never get saved, okay? That's all we can hope for." He pulls her into another kiss, as they sit in the kitchen. He secretly wonders- is it their last?
They break apart and look at each other, then the phone rings. Alex answers it casually, hoping that it will make the situation sound better, just like always. Angrily, Justin grabs it, Harper, Professor Crumbs, and even Max on the other line. Both he and Alex's stomachs drop at realizing their dream will possibly end soon.
DING! Alex's toast goes off. She pulls it out and begins eating it as if she doesn't have a care in the world- but knowing her better, and that she eats to hide her problems- especially involving love. Unfortunately he solved all his problems with food too. And quickly realizes that if he's going to be able to think fast, he needs toast, too. He runs over and tries to put in his own toast, watching Alex take hungry, eager bites of her own. Then he goes back to the phone.
"Max is coming to save you," he hears, as he watches a black hole appear on the floor of Alex's apartment. Alex looks upset, back at Justin.
"I moved into an apartment to have fun," she says angrily, winking at Justin. His face flushed. But then she turned serious again. He looks back at Alex at these words, and thinks of their new relationship they'd just established, and the love they'd finally confessed after years of invisible duct tape concealing their feelings. And it was over. The way Alex looked at him, she was thinking the same way.
"Well, I guess this is the end for us," He says to Alex. Because they both know it's true- they need to go back into hiding if they go back to their old lives. Max jumps up through the black hole and pulls them up and out of the room, at the same time that Alex cast a spell on her and Justin so they could read each other's minds.
After their talk with Professor Crumbs and Harper, and the three Russos went back to defeat Gorog, Alex was still listening to every one of Justin's thoughts. Just as the three of them were about to say the spell, Mason came out from everyone, asking her to join them. Alex thought for a moment, looking at her brothers, listening to Justin's thoughts.
Oh no, I knew that something bad was going to happen when I erased his thoughts of Alex! He became evil! And now nothing can stop Alex from going with him. I hope she chooses to be with him… it's for the better…
Alex knows that if going with Mason is going to make Justin feel happy, she's going to go with Mason. She drops her wand, walks to him, and hugs him, watching her two brothers. When Juliet comes out, Alex holds back from attacking the one who she held a secret grudge against for so long. Justin's thoughts indicate that to keep his mind off Alex, he needs to be with Juliet, to save Alex. She gives him a small nod, and he, too, drops his wand to be with Juliet. Max stands alone, before Justin looks at Alex, showing that he completely knows she can read his mind.
It's okay to do the right thing and be with them, he thinks to her. She takes a deep breath, as the two pull their wands from Gorog, and do the spell, all three. They then run back to Mason and Juliet, respectively.
This is the way it has to be, Alex.
A/N- Yup, definately shorter than the other ones... but this is all I could write for this one to end it in a good place. Should this be the end? Or more?
