Just Like Magic: A Suite Life/Waverly Place Crossover

Part 3:

Off to another level, into a following morning…

Alex appears in her Tipton Suite. She looks around...seeing the lights off. She has her boots off, off to the side of the couch. Alex thinks out loud, "ok. Not how I left…them." She sees a oddly sky blue blanket, with jeweled butterflies sewn in. Alex starts to wonder, "what the…?!" She then sees someone under a insanely expensive gold ringed umbrella electric blanket…in her bed.

From under, Chelsea Brimmer's voice calls out, "who…?! Sniffle. Show yourself…or I'm calling the manager and getting you fired. You little hotel people have no…"

Commentative like, Alex slightly sighs, "peek-a-boo. I shouldn't be seeing you." She shifts the electric blanket off with a poke of the wand. It just slides off the bed. In her bright red pajamas, Chelsea looks up, "oh…h." She figures confusedly, "I don't get it."

Alex mutters uneasily, "that makes two of us."

Chelsea figures, "are you rich too?" Trying to step back as far as possible from this, Alex says, "no. But…why don't you let me talk to the manager and find out for you?"

With the wave of a hand, Chelsea slightly sighs, "fine. Here's a hundred dollars to never see you again." She took it out from under her bright red pillow…just lying there.

Alex slightly chuckles, "that's more than fair." She takes the money and puts it in her boots: Along with her wand. Alex puts them back on in a hurry, and runs out the door.

Nervously, Chelsea starts getting to her feet. She sighs sadly to herself, "why can't little blonde nerds be that easy to work with?" Chelsea picks up her cell phone from the night table, in the still dim lights of the hotel suite. Dimly, she slightly smiles, "ooh…some preview screenings from London's dresses." The digital clock on her cell phone screen says November 17 2007. Last time Alex saw the date on the World Wide Wiz Web…it was November 10.

Not long after…

Alex gets into the nearest Tipton elevator...just as her wand starts beeping. She sighs shakily, not sure what end is up. She thought, "o…k. Maybe after this call, I'll call…Justin."

She was waving her wand…when the elevator gives way to darkness. Alex quickly casts, "starlight sprinkight. Slight sigh. There we go." Starlight crackling dances over Alex. It looks like a crater of a lava pit…with lava flowing down the sides. She is standing on a stone pillar over it all…still in her red and blue swirled butterfly T-shirt.

High above is a creature made of stardust…with crackling flames across its silvery starfish like arms. Alex calls out, "kay: If this is someone's idea of a joke…it's not funny, people!" Through the crackling of the lava flow…a floating fogged up image appears. She has reddish blond curly medium hair. But, her face is covered in fog too much to see. A chirpy like voice echoes, "we never joke. Slight laugh. You're here, because you've been selected for a contest. A very…special contest. Which only the players with the highest scores get to attend."

Alex figures uneasily, "o…kay. One thing with that. Are you responsible for my room being gone?" The foggy image sighs disappointingly, "sorry. We just thought… With you practically living in our little world for a week… That you wanted to live here."

Alex realizes, "that's the prize? Slight scoff. Could've just asked me, instead of… Well, whatever goes on up in M2M's heads."

The voice figures openly, "well…you're looking at one. Sort of. But… Slight laugh. Do you want to?" Alex slyly smiles, "I'm liking what I'm hearing. But…I take it there's more. From the way it sounds."

The voice slightly laughs, "yes. I thought you might. But…think of this as a "bonus match" of sorts." Alex adds curiously, "sure. While I'm here though, mind telling me your name?"

Almost condescendingly, the voice figures, "not for such a "special" player. It's Deiselle." Alex figures, "hmm. I like it. Has a French like charm to it." Deiselle's image slightly laughs, "thank you. It's certainly special. You win, and you take a lot of points for free. You lose, and… Well, it'd be a little "unsettling". But, it won't impact "much"."

Trying to hide some wariness, Alex figures, "all right. Bring it on."

Not long before, back at the Tipton…

In the lobby, Zack is sitting on one of the pale white couches. He's wearing a gray sweatshirt, with a red T-shirt underneath. Opposite him is Cody in a red comfy chair, who's looking far from comfortable. He's in his jet blackish blue vest, that he's been known for having. Cody sighs angrily, "you know…I do everything to get London's show off the ground. And what does she do? Make me look bad."

Zack shrugs, "hate to break this to you, dude. But, if there was a Most Embarrassed Player award…you'd win it." Cody concludes uncomfortably, "I wish it was as simplistic. She was going to put lipstick on me!" Zack comments, "didn't stop you from being in a beauty pageant."

Cody quickly points out, "only because I didn't want to let down…Rebecca. It's not what it sounds like, ok?! Sigh. You don't know what it's like to be put on the spot like that: You put others in it."

Back around to Alex…

The image disappears…as the stardust creature is swooping down. Alex barely tumbles to the side. She calls out, "watch it!" Alex just gets up, while the stardust creature comes around. It starts firing foggy red stardust fireballs at her. Alex starts thinking nervously to herself, "though… Hard sigh. Who knows what will happen if it gets "ideas" of its own in here? This is no longer a game: This is real."

She casts, "breezus chilzus!" The fireballs are caught in a icy breeze, sending the frozen fireballs into the Stardust creature. It uses its arms to shield itself. Most of the shards bounce off…back at Alex. Alex runs around the pillar's edge, avoiding them. But, then…a fireball hit the pillar's center. The pillar is going up in smoke. Alex struggles to hold her breath, coughing smoke. Her view gets dizzy. With the wave of her wand, Alex cries out, "pillar millar!"

The pillar become a giant medieval flour mill…crashing into the lava crater's bottom. It breaks into many stone and wood pieces. The stardust creature bursts into a cloud of stardust. The impact has Alex flying for the lava flow. But, Alex holds onto a big chunk of wooden door for dear life. And…it seems to work. She vanishes. All just before what's left splinters against the melting stone pieces.

Back around to Zack…

With a wave of his hand, Zack nervously scoffs, "oh, that's not true. I've been to Magic Medieval Quest. And I never know when the ruby dragons will get smart enough to come out of their caves…and burn the Tipton to a crisp." He shivers a little, just from thinking of it.

Cody just shakes his head, "you know what? I'm getting real tired of being the only smart one here." He starts walking off, out of the hotel. Zack calls back, "oh yeah?! Well…how do you know all of this isn't another world, and a giant dragon isn't looking down at us?"

He's about to head back to his Suite. But, he changes his mind. Zack moderately sighs, "what's his problem?" He thinks to himself, "well…I still have some money. Slight uneasy chuckle. Maybe the game room is safer. Or…some eyestalk aliens would be more than happy to zap some dragons for me. One of those." He starts heading to the game room. He passes a old IMax movie poster of Fantasia 2000: With a picture of The Firebird Suite among others pieces of the whole, over a blue lit orchestra.

That's when he hears a thud. Zack runs past the game room. He reaches a elevator to the side of the hall. And as the elevator doors open…he looks down in shock. Lying in the corner is a wand…which has rolled out of the hands of a unconscious Alex. Zack shakily says, "ok. This is bad. Just…hold on." He takes out a silver cell phone…which Carey only gave him for emergencies.

The following night, in a hospital room…

A dizzy Alex wakes up, in a white hospital bed. She's in a white hospital gown, over her clothes. Her head has a ice pack over it. Alex rubs her eyes, "where… Hard cough! Where am I now?" She moves the ice pack away from her eyes, off to the side of the pillow. Alex figures sarcastically, "good. At least now I can see where the la…"

She then sees Zack to the side, on a pale gray metal framed chair. Alex slightly gasps, "whoa! Where'd you…?" But, that's not all that startles her. On the armrest, his hand is over Alex's wand. Trying to hold back some lingering nervousness, Zack slightly chuckles, "well, I do have that effect on the ladies."
