Choices Make New Dimensions
Prologue: Dimension Changer?
Like usual, Alex Russo was lazily chilling on her dad's favorite comfy chair in The Lair, while reading the latest fashion magazine. It's not like she had be somewhere else. Well…ok…maybe she had to help out in The Sub Shop, and maybe she was behind on her homework, but that was beside the point. The point was she really didn't have to be anywhere she didn't want to be.
Unfortunately, she was bored out of her mind and was just way too lazy to do anything about it. And as she continuously flipped page after page of what was "in" this season, she began to realize that maybe homework was sounding a tad better than this. Haha funny, totally staying right here…all day…because…because. Ugh!
Just as she was about to die of boredom a package flew in breaking her from her thought… "Oh, Wizard Mail!" Alex literally chucked her magazine across The Lair and skipped to the table where her and her brothers- Justin and Max, usually do their wizard studies. Because who was she kidding? She barely even studied her own school work, let alone her wizard studies. Even Max barely paid attention as her dad droned on and on about some important spell that might be important later on.
So let's rephrase that…it's the table/desk thingy where Justin studies wizardry. "What a dork," Alex snorted under her breath.
Her eyes zoomed in once more to the orange package at the corner of the desk. She knew she shouldn't even think about it. What if it's one of those stupid Sea Chimp things again? I should really listen to dad and Justin more often… She let out a chuckle,"Pssh, like that's gonna happen." So what if curiosity killed the cat?Alex chuckled while shaking her head; it totally wouldn't kill her to see what's inside the stupid orange envelope. And with that thought Alex tore open the carefully sealed package.
Inside was a hand-held, purple mirror with a book of instructions. It reminded her strangely of the mirror from 'Beauty and the Beast,' only different colors. She gave it an odd look before glancing at the title on the instruction book- "Dimension Changer," Stupid name… She cautiously picked up the book and briefly skimmed through the first page, "Uhh device lets you travel into different dimensions… blah blah blah. Hold mirror in front of you and say 'Mirror mirror, Dimension changer'. Okay that sounds pretty easy!" She tossed the book of instructions on the table without reading the rest of the directions, like always…because; hey, that was way too many words and zero freaking pictures.
If she would've read a little bit more then she would've known that: You can only go into 3 dimensions and use the last one to get back to your original reality by saying 'Mirror mirror, take me back to my dimension'. If you don't use the last one to get back to reality then you'll be stuck in the dimension your currently stranded on for who knows how long. And also be aware of some scary dimensions you might encounter because no one knows where the decisions we don't chose lead to.
Alex faced the mirror and held it out in front of her. Watching her appearance gaze back at her in a violet fog, she said in the clearest voice she could muster, "Mirror mirror, Dimension Changer."
Suddenly everything was warping and conforming to the new dimensions ways, making her light headed and dizzy. Everything was going way too fast, and she tried furiously to blink away the haze to regain her vision back. When she couldfinally see again,she saw a guy with shaggy black hair that covered his gorgeous grey-green eyes. He was holding an electric guitar that made him look so badass.
"ALEX!" the man in front of her yelled hastily, "Are you listening to me at all?"
Alex blinked several more times as her vision returned to her. Is that who she thought it was? "Justin?" Alex asked in disbelief.
"Uhh duh who else would it be?" he asked her incredulously. "Alex, I'm serious stop messing around, we have to get on stage in a couple minutes. You remember what to do right?" Justin said in a mad rush.
Alex could only stare blankly at him, examining every feature of this new Justin. What happened to my dork of a brother? Where did he get those muscles? And what happened to his geeky haircut? He must've finally taken my advice and continued his guitar career. But what am I suppose to be doing? And who the hell is he playing with anyway?
"Umm of course I know what to do big brother of mine, but could you just, you know… go over everything again just to make sure?" Alex said with the most innocent smile she could muster. This Justin has to be just as easy as my Justin right?
Justin paused for a second deciding on if he should tell her because even though she has that innocent smile spread over her face, in those eyes he recognizesthat little glint of evil! "Uhh okay… well since my drummer couldn't make it," My drummer? He must be the lead guy of HIS band, dude this is just whoa! "I need you to play the songs we rehearsed yesterday remember? And, no pressure or anything, but it's my first world tour and there are a million screaming fans out there; so don't mess up. Okay?" Before Alex could get a word out Justin grabbed her hand. "Whatever, we have to get on stage in like 10 seconds so come on!" Justin said while pulling Alex toward the back of the stage and up some stairs leading to the stage above.
Suddenly, within seconds she was blinded by neon lights flickering over the stage. Alex stared in awe at how big the stadium was before herand how much energy the fans were giving off. "This is so rad!" Alex said to herself. "Way better than sitting and reading fashion magazines all day."
"ALEX!" Justin yelled over the screaming fans, "Get to the drums!" She quickly walked up to the brand new purple pearl drum set and stared in awe at the shiny drum set. Before Justin would turn around to scold her again she quickly swiped the drum sticks from their holder, and took her seat before the drums. Wooah, this is so surreal. I seriously wouldn't mind living in this dimension for awhile.
"How's everyone feeling tonight?" yelled Justin into his golden microphone. The stadium roared with an enthusiasm, "Awesome, well I know you guys heard about my drummer Dylan couldn't make it tonight, but here is my substitute sister ALEX RUSSO!" Alex waved to the fans and again the fans screamed with all their might. "Okay, let's get this party started!" Justin yelled again.
As he started playing the first song, the beat was slow to begin with; Alex was freaking out because she has no idea what the song is or how to play it. But, right when Justin hit this one familiar note something clicked in her head and her hands just went with the music. It was the best feeling in the world to be on stage like this, having so much adrenaline running through your veins and the phenomenal amount of energy that was coming from the fans. There's just nothing like it, it's an indescribable feeling.
After a couple more songs Alex and Justin ran off the stage laughing and smiling, "Dude, that was AWESOME! We have to do that again and next time I swear I won't be scared to do the crowd surfing thing you did!" Alex yelled over the still screaming fans that were anxiously hoping for an encore. "How do they still have so much energy after what we just did with them?" asked Alex in awe.
"I don't know but they really loved us… they loved you," Justin said smiling. "Thanks for doing this for me again," he said as he pulled Alex into the biggest bear hug she has ever gotten from him, "It really means a lot." Alex isn't much of a hugger but with Justin it's always different somehow. So she wrapped her arms around his mid and squeezed him as much as she could like he was doing to her in return. Every time she squeezed him tighter, he would too. Alex just smiled into his shoulder while sighing contently, because this was the best night ever. Not because she loved his hugs, that wasn't it at all…pfft.
How can this night get any better? I mean I finally lived my dream to perform on stage with such great band members and the fans, whoa they are some crazy kids and Justin was actually really fun to do it with. Speaking of sir-dorks-a lot, what happened to him in this dimension? My Justin should really take some pointers on this guy because that'd be so hot; like the way Dimension Justin has his hair swiped over his beautiful grey-green eyes in such a mysterious way …and how toned his body is …and how his hugs are ju-… Whoa Alex, what the hell do you think your thinking? He is your brother!
Alex quickly let go of Justin, "Uhh, no problem it was really rad, we should really do it again sometime. But you know Justin I gotta go…pee!" She turned around and hauled ass to the nearest hallway. "Phew, that was a little bit awkward," Alex said when she got to the hallway and away from prying eyes. Taking one last look around at the awesome dimension she took out the little purple mirror in her pocket and recited, "Mirror mirror, Dimension Changer."
Like before, everything was blurring together and making it extremely hard to see. But this time it didn't seem to go away, but instead only getting worse. Her body was spinning out of control and she felt her lunch start to come up. Her hair was flying every which way, and she couldn't seem to find a firm ground anywhere. She was panicking and she tried everything to get out of the whirlwind of terror, but nothing seemed to change.
Every time she would try to escape, it would suck her back in and tumble her around. It felt like one of those water rides that were shaped as a funnel that you would ride around for fun. Except it wouldn't let her go down the nice tunnel to shoot her into the giant pool below. And her stomach felt like it was stuck in her throat. She needed to get out of this place!
Her vision from the haze of the wicked tornado finally came back, and that's when it clicked…What the heck! Am I in a freaking TORNADO? With all the twirling and windiness and the spiral of dust...yep, I'm gonna go with tornado. "AHHHHH!" screamed Alex with all her might. What kind of dimension is this? Suddenly flashes of her family, especially Justin and the stupid Stone of Dreams started swirling around her. "Oh my god," Alex murmured to herself as she continued to tumble mercilessly through the windy cyclone. This dimension must be if Justin and I didn't get to the Stone in time…
Alex frantically watched as her life, mistakes, friends, family flashed before her. She closed her eyes tightly wishing to get out of this twirling circle of doom. "I HATE YOU!" a booming but familiar voice roared through the tunnel. "I wish you and dad had never even met!" Alex's eyes quickly shot open and landed on an image of her mom with a hurt expression spread across her face. Oh no, not this. I don't want to relive this nightmare of a vacation again…
More images and clips kept swirling around her. "It's you and I, how can we not." Justin near the campfire that he conjured up flashed in front of Alex and she could see again in his eyes that he truly believed that they could do it. He was the one that still believed when everyone, even me had doubts.
Again Justin popped up but he was wearing the competition uniform with mud and a confused look plastered on his face. "I'm your brother?" Alex just couldn't hold it in any longer and started to cry because this was the most painful part of the whole stone-of-dreams-losing-your-parents fiasco.
"No, no, no, Justin. Please, please you can't leave me here. Please remember. I'm Alex. I'm your little sister. I taunt you and I tease you and I make your life miserable but you love me anyways. You're everything that I've ever wanted to be. I'm jealous of how smart you are and how kind and how nice. Please don't leave me here." Memory Alex cried as her brother was slipping away from her.
"I'd never leave you. I don't know who you are but, I believe you." Memory Justin said sweetly. Even though right now, Alex is in a twirling tornado and reliving her mistakes. That line right there will always make her smile. Alex closed her eyes and clutched the small mirror in her hand tighter. Alex gasped in realization.
Oh my gosh! The mirror! Duh! Damn, how could I forget my only escape from this terrifying dimension? Well, I am pretty forgetful; it's like one of my re-Focus Alex! Just say the stupid words and get the hell out of here! Alex quickly wiped her soaked eyes and held the mirror out in front of her. "Mirror, Mirror, Dimension Changer!" Alex yelled in a raspy voice. Right before she was sucked out of the tornado, the last thing she caught was Justin being sucked into one…
Again, everything around Alex morphed and blurred. Next thing she knew, someone was holding her and asking if she was okay. "Alex, are you okay? Why are you crying?"
Alex instantly knew who it was and squeezed the guy tighter. "Nothing, I was just thinking about som-ugh it's nothing Justin."
"Are you sure, because I can go run up stairs to the loft to get Harper or even your mom if you want to talk about it?" Justin asked worriedly.
"She's your mom too, dork," Alex chuckled into Justin's shoulder.
"Yeah, she's like a second mom to me Alex, but it just feels weird calling her that sometimes," Justin said shrugging. "And you always tell me you think it's weird too."
Alex pulled away from the warmth and protection that Justin was giving off and she was sure she saw him frown a little when she did. "What are you talking about, like a second mom?"
Well, I finally finished the first chapter of this story. What did ya'll think? Dumb, Okayish, Freakin' Amazingness? I really want to try and update every other Saturday at least but I'm not sure where this story is going. I mean I know what the ending is but, not sure what to put in the middle; I'll think of something though. Also I want to thank my rad beta reader- TheWolfHourx. She is the best chick ever! If you guys haven't read her story: "I Kinda Can't Live Without You", you totally should; it's a really great story. AND please, reviews and pickles are very much appreciated! Thank you!(:
