(A/N: yeah, so I'm updating this thing instead of 'Dollhouse' :P I know that this isn't my best story either, but since I started it, I have to get it over, and over before I get caught up with life. So, here you have 3 new chapters! Honestly, I don't have much expectation of reviews from this, but review if you like it?)

Disclaimer: I don't own WOWP. Keep that in mind for the rest of the story :P

Chapter 3: Comfort (Takes place after the movie)

It was early in the morning. Alex was awake. Actually, she couldn't sleep. She couldn't sleep ever since she returned from the vacation, ever since she made that horrible wish, ever since the dangerous quest for the stone of dreams, ever since the day Justin lost the wizard competition and had been taken away by that wretched tornado. She had made a wish to make everything just as they were. But somewhere deep within her, something had changed. But Alex couldn't realize what it was that changed. She has never been the one who thinks so much, let alone analyze her own thoughts. So, when the sun's gentle rays touched her eyes, there was only place she could think of where she could ask for help- Justin.

Alex crept onto Justin's room to see that he was still asleep, with an innocent, secure, carefree expression in his face that made Alex smile. Maybe she should talk to him later. Maybe she should just begin the day.

And what were the things she wanted to do when she returned from a full on family mode vacation? Alex didn't exactly remember any more. But she knew she had to visit one person- Dean. She hadn't heard from him ever since she went to the vacation. And she did miss him a lot!

Takes place at Alex's room, in the evening

Alex was lying on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, tears freely flowing from her eyes down her cheeks, when she heard a knock in her door.

"Go away!" she yelled without even looking.

"Alex-"Justin tried to speak as he entered her room.

"Just leave me alone Justin!" Alex yelled again.

Justin ignored her order (like always) and made his way to lie down beside her.

"What's bothering my baby sister so much?" he asked softly.

"Nothing." Alex lied.

"Alex, you know you can tell me." he said softly.

Alex sighed. There was silence for 2 minutes, during which Alex prepared to speak, and Justin prepared himself for whatever she had to say (hey, it was possible that she messed up a spell and destroyed Pluto by accident!).

Alex stuttered. "D-dean broke u-up with m-me to-today…" And with that Alex burst into tears. Justin pulled her into a hug, trying to comfort her.

"It's okay Alex, it really is. I never really liked that jerk anyway. You deserve someone far better than him. Don't cry for him. Come on little girl! Where's that mischievous Alex Russo smile?"

"Justin, he b-broke my h-heart"

"I know that, and he'll pay for it, I promise"

Alex looked at her brother questioningly.

"A small spell wont hurt too much I guess." He smiled.

Alex stared at her brother in disbelief. "Justin, you never break the rules! Why would you do it for me?"

"Because you are my little sister, and I care about you."

"Even when I tease you and taunt you?" she sobbed.

"Even when you tease me and taunt me."

Alex smiled. "You always had my back when I got into trouble."

"That's what big brother's do. But you saved me a couple of times too. You saved my powers from being drained by Miss Evallini." Justin pointed out.

"That was just one time. Usually, I just get you into more trouble." Alex laughed and Justin chuckled at her honest confession. It wasn't everyday that you hear honest words from her mouth! "You helped me many times. Remember when I was failing the magic carpet lessons; you are the one who helped me out!"

"Yeah, I guess I am a pretty good teacher...." Justin went all smug quickly. "And how can you forget that time when you got those pictures out of the museum?"

"That was just one time!" Alex protested. "And it was fun seeing Mona Lisa walk around! But you know what the real fun was? When I charmed mom and dad with TJ's help."

"That was nothing!" Justin scoffed. "You turned them into guinea pigs to hide your report card!"

"Yeah and then- and then I made this horrible wish." Alex's voice dropped at this moment.

"Alex are you still upset about it?" Justin asked.

"Yeah, I mean, I let you all down. If mom didn't get the stone of dreams we'd have been history!"

"Technically, we wouldn't even exist in history." Justin corrected.

Alex glared at her brother. "Even after all this you have to go back to being dorky and know-it all?"

"Hey, you are the one who said everything should be just the way they were!" Justin reasoned.

"I know, but-"Alex sighed- "I guess something did change after all."

"What do you mean?" Justin raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know…" Alex shrugged "I mean……I want us to be friends. I don't want to create new trouble and make your life miserable anymore. I am sorry, it's just that… I never realized how glad I am to have you… and now that I do…. Thank you… for everything..."

"Do you mean everything you said?" Justin asked.

"Yes, of course I do! Why else would I say that?" Alex scoffed.

"Umm, maybe because you like to manipulate me up when you want something?" Justin teased.

"And there, you start being annoying again!" Alex glared again.

"Okay, I'm sorry, but look, you don't have to be sacred of losing me any more, I am not going anywhere. I told you I'd never leave you. "

"Really?"

"Yeah. I have to prepare to win the wizard competition, you know." Justin smiled.

Alex chuckled. "Yeah good luck. It'd be so much fun to beat you again."

"Sure! Dream on." Justin mocked a laugh. "And hypothetically, even if you win again, what would you do if you fell in love with a mortal?"

"That would never happen; I would never ever give up my powers for a mortal… I'm glad dad did that… but not me, nope… by the way, thanks for admitting I'll win."

"I didn't say you would win! I said hypothetically. It means-"Justin protested.

Alex rested her head on her brother's shoulder (she had been used to doing that ever since they were kids. They loved fighting with each other, but they loved this knowing silence too.) That sure shut him up. Suddenly, Alex recalled something-

She titled her head a bit to face him. "Hey Justin, remember you wanted to do that spell when we got back?"

"Yeah, I remember." Justin replied looking at her. "But… I'm not doing it…"

"What! Why?" Alex asked. "I knew you'd chicken out."

Justin looked at her in disbelief. Even after all this she wanted to use a forbidden spell? "No, it's because I like my life just the way it is. I don't need to know whether I am adopted or not. My life is perfect now." Justin smiled.

Alex hugged Justin, happy to hear those words from you. "I still get to keep the two dollars you gave me right?"

Justin shook his head in amazement. "Do you always have to ruin all our tender moments?"

"Yupe. That's what sisters are for, genius!" Alex laughed.

There was a long silence. Alex finally relaxed and forgot about Dean. Justin relaxed too.

Justin suddenly had an idea. "Hey Alex, what do you say, one sneak away at the magic carpet, for old times sake?"

"Oh sure-" Alex said, then paused, "wait, there isn't any game on right?"

"Nope. They are fortunate!" Justin retorted.

"Yeah, fortunate they didn't have to see the likes of you flying in a magic carpet looking like a monkey swinging from the branch of some rose tree." Alex snapped back.

"Rose is a HERB Alex, NOT a tree, how can monkeys swing from it?" Justin corrected.

"Oh whatever, I like rose, that's all I need to know. I don't really care if it's a herb or whatever." Alex huffed. "And yeah so maybe monkeys can't, but you should try it."

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I've got other things to do" Justin mocked a smile.

"Like what? Run some weird alien language club with Zeke?" Alex smirked.

Justin glared at her. "We like to call it the 'Intergalactic friendship club'"

"Yeah, I'm sure you'd be a good friend to an alien. Or wait; maybe you can be one of them?" Alex smiled cheekily.

"Oh I'd love to, but I'd be too busy designing a robot that can sing." Justin shot back.

"You mean you'd be building a robot wife for yourself?" Alex smiled again.

"You're impossible." Justin sighed in defeat.

"Thank you! Now can we go before I fall asleep from looking at your pumpkin-face?"

(And its so strange how Justin easily made Alex forget that she was upset isn't it?)
