Thanks for all the reviews! :) And... let's pretend that Harper knows that the Russos are wizards, ok? Thanks ;)
Oh, I should probably tell you that Hidden Secrets is almost over... :( But don't worry, there's more chapters to come! And... I've been thinking of another sequel for this... but there's also another Nelena story I'm planning. Which one do you want me to write? :)
Hidden Secrets
Chapter Sixteen
"And that, my friends," Jason concluded, "Is the popsicle song." He bowed solemnly and looked at everyone's faces, waiting for a reaction.
They were all at Alex's house. Mitchie, Mitchie's parents, Jason, Shane, Nate and Harper. The Russo's were hosting a big party before the kids went back to school. Everything had been dramatized during the 2 weeks in New York, and they all wanted to relax before school started.
Right now, Jason had insisted to sing his new single "The Popsicle Song." He'd sung it 'perfectly' and everyone was laughing silently. Huge smiles covered their faces, so Jason assumed that they were very pleased with the song.
"Hah!" He said, pointing at Nate and Shane. "You were so wrong! This song is going to be a hit single!"
Shane shrugged. "What can I say?"
"Yeah." Nate added in. "It's a great song." They looked at each other then turned away before they would burst out laughing. Harper sighed and stared at Jason. She obviously had gotten over Justin.
"So," Nate said, "Why don't the Russo's show us some magic?"
"Yeah!" Harper shouted. "Show us some magic!"
"Quiet down!" Alex said, "The neighbors can hear you!"
"I don't think it's a good idea." Jerry spoke up. "Someone could get hurt."
"Oh let the kids have some fun." Theresa said.
"Yeah!" said Mitchie. "Let them show us what they've been learning!"
"Well... I don't know..." Jerry said hestitantly. Then, looking at the eager faces around him, he sighed and threw his hands up in surrender. "Fine. Alex Justin and Max, go do some magic. But I'm watching you!"
Alex hopped up and grabbed her wand. Justin and Max followed her lead.
"Show us how to duplicate yourselves!" Harper suggested.
Alex looked at her brothers. They shrugged and nodded.
"Edgebonoutusis!" Alex said, pointing at herself. Another Alex appeared and meowed. Everyone stared at Alex, the real one. "I was thinking of the neighbor's cat when I said it."
"My turn!" Max announced. He pointed at Justin and said the spell.
"You weren't supposed to duplicate me!" Justin said. "You were supposed to duplicate yourself!"
"Oh... my bad." Max said. "Oh well."
Justin pointed his wand at Max and said, "Edgebonoutusis!" Another Max appeared.
"Hey!" Max said. He pointed his wand at Justin and said the spell.
"Oh boy. Here they go." Alex muttered. She sat down beside Nate. Pretty soon, there were Maxes and Justins all over the room.
"Hey!" Jerry shouted. "Hey! Stop that!" He sighed and walked over to the boys. Grabbing their wands, he made them sit down on the couch.
"Bravo!" Shane said, clapping. He motioned for the others to clap and there was no applause in the whole house.
Max got up and started bowing. Justin bowed too, and Alex walked over to them and shoved them down on the couch. "Thank you," She said, "I'm taking all the credit even though the show was pretty much them."
"What to do now?" Mitchie wondered aloud.
"How about another one of my songs?" Jason suggested loudly. Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed a kareoke microphone and started singing. "Popsicle, popsicle, popsicle!"
Alex looked at Nate and they grinned at each other. Grinning was pretty much what they did now. That, and talking 24/7 and kissing too.
Harper got up and got another microphone. She started singing along with Jason. "Oh mighty popsicle!" It was like she wrote the song with him. They actually sounded pretty good together.
"Wow, nice." Alex said, nodding. She was impressed.
"I know, you'd hardly believe that was Jason and Harper." Mitchie said beside her. Shane and Nate just stared at the twosome horrifyingly. The grown-ups had went to the Sandwich shop to eat some food.
"I guess they make a pretty cute couple." Alex replied.
"Ugh, this is boring." Max complained. "I know! Why don't we do that duplicating spell again?" Justin nodded in agreement and they both got up and started duplicating each other again.
"Why don't we go somewhere else?" Shane suggested. Mitchie laughed and hooked arms with Shane. They skipped off together.
"I guess that leaves us two. You're stuck with me." Nate said, looking at Alex.
"I don't mind too much." Alex replied back, smiling. They both leaned in and--
"Guys!" Jason said. "Where did everyone go?"
Alex embarrassingly turned away from Nate's face. "Um. They went away."
"Why?" Harper asked. "Didn't they like our popsicle song?"
"My popsicle song." Jason corrected her.
Harper smiled at Jason. "Of course!"
"Right. So what did you guys think?" Jason said, directing his attention to his 'audience.'
"Uh... it was great!" Nate said, faking a smile.
"Actually... we didn't really hear it, but--" Alex told them.
"Well let's sing it again then!" Jason cut her off. He cued the music and Harper and him started singing the song, once again. And after that, again. And again.
"Bye!" Mitchie yelled after Shane. He turned and grinned, waving back. Mitchie smiled to herself and went back inside. Seeing Nate and Alex together on the couch watching TV, she quietly tiptoed upstairs into Alex's room. It was like Alex's house was permanently her house. She'd slept over like everyday.
"Alex?" Nate asked. He didn't really have a question in mind, but he loved saying her name.
"Yeah?" Alex replied, her eyes glued to the screen. Her favorite show was on.
"I have to go soon..."
"Really?" Alex said, turning her head. "So soon?"
"Yep." Nate said. He stood up. "Well, see you Alex."
"Okay, let me walk you out the door." Alex said, standing up beside him. "We don't want you to feel lonely, now do we?"
Nate smiled and together they walked to the door. Alex held the door open for him. "Bye boyfriend."
"Bye girlfriend." She started to close the door. "Wait!" Nate said. "Aren't you going to give me a goodnight kiss?"
"Nope." Alex said, grinning. She shut the door in his face. After 10 seconds, she opened it again. "I knew you were still here." She leaned in and gave him a long kiss.
"Now I can go." Nate said. He walked toward his house. Alex grinned and closed the door, for real this time. Life with drama was pretty sweet.
Well, there's chapter 16. Nothing really happened, sorry if it was boring. :) This story'll be finished before school starts, which is Sept. 2 for me. Then I'll be writing another story. Review?
