A/N: Oh my gosh! I got so many reviews. I wasn't expected 20 reviews for Chapter 6! But maybe it was because of the Jalex action. Hmm… I'll bet that is it. Anyways, I'm not expecting as many 'cause this is a filler-ish chapter. Since I was fighting writer's block beyond compare. Chapter 7!

--o0o0--

After setting the last vial in the cupboard up above his head, Max took in a deep breath. Since both Alex and Justin were still asleep, he had to do their chores for the morning just before his father got home. He understood what both of them were going though, to an extent. He still doesn't quite understand the meaning of all of this fighting. He heard his mom and his sister talking, but he wasn't sure how that went the night before either.

His eyes cornered to the same system in the corner by the TV. After a half hour of quality work time, he decided a few rounds of video games wouldn't hurt. Plus, his siblings would get the blame for not being up earlier before school. It was one of those half days where you only went in for the second half of school, for the teachers meeting in the morning. Max shook his head once he put in one of his new War games for his Nintendo Wii.

It wasn't hard to get lost in the thought of enemies sneaking up behind you and shooting you. You needed to save the women and children or else they would die after a certain amount of minutes. He didn't even realize that both Alex and Justin were now up. His eyes peeling towards the screen, buttons smashing, total head control. But once he heard the sound of cereal hitting the bowl, the game was shut off immediately. He hadn't even ate breakfast yet!

"Hey guys," Max said cheeringly. "Alex, you just have to dust the living room and all the bedrooms. Justin you still have to vacuum. I did the rest for you."

"Thanks buddy, you're the best," Alex smiled at him, and returned to the fridge to get the milk. Max noticed her seemingly a lot more chipper than she has been. He then revisited the night before, and the talk between Mom and her.

"Yeah Max, thanks," Justin offered. He smiled faintly.

"No problem, good thing Dad doesn't get home for another hour, so you guys could get going. Hey, make me some cereal, okay?" Max called out, before heading to the washroom.

"He's acting rather weird for himself, don't you think Alex?" Justin asked once the door was closed. Alex nodded, pouring the milk into Justin's bowl for him.

"Sure was," Alex muttered. The thing was, she couldn't get last night off of her mind. Justin seemed to be taking it quite well. He wasn't panicking like he usually would be, instead he was calm and collected.

"Alex, about last ni-"

The toilet was flushed, Justin stopped mid-sentence. Alex silently cursed, while Max came out of bathroom. "Thanks for making my breakfast, Alex."

She nodded silently, before digging into her own. She stole secret glances towards her older brother, noticing every little thing about him. The way his nose twitches when the spoon accidentally hits his teeth too hard, his sharp intakes of breath when he's chewing. Oh my god, it's everything. Her eyes locked with his for a few sacred moments. His look told her so many things with just a bat of a lash.

We have to talk. Justin almost told her telepathically.

No shit we have to talk, do you even know what happened last night buddy? Or was I the only one there? Damn, I need to calm down, stop being so sarcastic. But it's so hard! Maybe this was meant to happen. Mess with my mind or something. Yeah, that's it. DAMN IT!

"Okay," she muttered to herself. "Talk with Justin, number one on my to do list before dad gets home."

"Okay kiddies, I'm back with a vengeance. We haven't had a lesson in well over a week, due to reasons I'd rather not state at the moment, but nonetheless I found a new spell that could possibly work for you," Jerry explained once he snapped the book on the counter in front of the containers full of purple and green goo. Alex rolled her eyes aimlessly, while Justin was leaning in, eager to learn. What a kid.

"Listen up, especially you Alex," Jerry started, eyeing his only daughter, "This is a spell which needs direct concentration and work to do it well. If you don't do it properly, you could mess up your brain waves, so I'm giving you the warning now. If you ever do this, you'll most likely have a little bit of memory loss. I'm not sure the major effects yet. We are going to learn it anyways."

Yeah-dah-, yeah-dah, yeah-dah. Alex twirled her hair absent-mindedly as she tried to take note to her father's babbling words. Concentration, memory, yeah. She got it all. It wasn't long before her mind slipped to Justin and smiling hopelessly in his bearing. Kissing was good, very good indeed. Last night's was hot. H-o-t, hot. Who knew Justin could do something like that, I mean look at him. He's typical nerdy class material. Oh I don't care.

"Alex?" Jerry asked, making sure she was paying attention. Alex waved her hand and grinned widely, trying to tell him she was at least half noticing what he was doing.

"Okay, when you are performing this little number, you'll be saying 'for the reasons I can not say, please take this away, my memory gone forever.' I know it's not like the usual rhyming scheme, but this is in the top of the line stuff from Professor Joules. He is the mast-"

"The master of magic. How many times have I heard this before? Oh yeah, about FIFTY MILLION!" Max screamed jokingly, and stuck out his tongue to signal the gag. Alex giggled a little, while Justin had a serious face on. No one was to ever ridicule his all time favourite professor. But with one look at Alex and her striking, magnificent smile, that thought was washed away.

Jerry rolled his eyes as he gave the three kids a piece of paper with the spell written on it. "Memorize it, tomorrow, you'll be given a test. Don't say it aloud unless totally serious. Remember, bring on your best." Justin right away started to read it quickly over and over, the brainy kid that he was. Alex folded it up and stuffed it in her jeans, while Max just took off for the living room. Boys and their video games.

"Aren't you going to study, Alex?" Justin asked, looking up from the paper. Jerry too looked up, wanting to encourage the response from her. Alex shrugged her shoulders and got up from the swelling couch.

"I'm okay. Going to my room, tunes are awaiting." She eyed Justin quickly, bulging him for him to see. He winked at her secretly, smiling.

Jerry nodded gently, "But you have to know this by tomorrow. Don't upset me please."

"Sure daddy."

Once Alex was out of the room, Jerry took over general concern for his own daughter. She sure wasn't acting the same. Sure, not paying attention, for the most part was normal, but she just seemed out of it. Her head wasn't in the game, as he would say when he was younger.

"Any idea what is wrong with her, son?"

Justin eyes widened slightly, but remained as calm as possible. "Um, what do you mean? She seemed fi-fine."

Jerry chuckled a little, "I guess you don't know Alex then." Justin closed his eyes vaguely. "But anyways. She is giving off this bad vibe. I mean she was totally out of it. You have to re-teach what I told you today, because I'm 100 percent sure she didn't get it. That a hassle to you?"

He shook his head obediently, and scampered off. Only one thing on his mind. I know what's going on with Alex. It's me.
