The two girls walked into Alex's apartment with the first set of bags. The cab was still outside with the rest of the bags. Sonny wanted to get everything that was hers out of her old apartment. After walking inside, Alex spoke, "I have a guest room that's right across from the bathroom. Go ahead and start getting unpacked while I get the rest of the bags."
"Okay." Sonny replied. She carried what she could to her new room.
Alex walked back out of the apartment, back to where the cab was. As she was about to reach the cab, she saw someone that she had to talk to. "Hey Alex, I know you don't want to talk to me but could you just listen to me."
Alex didn't really think about it, "Sure, but, um, could you help me with these bags?"
Mitchie stood there for a moment in shock, she actually got to talk to the wizard without getting yelled at. "Uh, yeah, sure." She walked towards the older girl and grabbed the remaining bags that Alex couldn't carry herself.
They made their way to the apartment, "Whose bags are these?" Mitchie asked curiously.
"They're Sonny's, she's moving in with me. She had a bit of a nasty break up with her boyfriend." Alex answered. They finally made it the apartment. "You can set it by the couch." The younger girl did as she was instructed.
"Alex, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." Mitchie began. "I'm sorry that I'm not able to feel what I use to for you but I never regretted being with you. I just want you to know that."
"Mitchie, it was hard for me because we were so close. I was closer to you than I was with Harper and that's saying a lot. I don't want to spend the rest of my life holding a grudge against you. Forgiving you will be hard but it's the first step to moving on with my life." Alex told the girl. "Plus, I really do miss my best friend."
Mitchie lightly smiled, "I will do my best to earn your forgiveness, Alex. I can promise you that." Alex walked up to the girl and gave her a hug which was easily returned.
"Alex, are you back with the rest of the bags?" Alex heard Sonny ask from her bedroom.
"Yeah, they're over here by the couch." Alex answered.
Sonny walked out of the room to see the two girls in the living room. "Did you guys need a moment?"
The two girls shook their heads. "Nope, I think we're good." Alex replied. "Do you guys want to get something to eat, because I'm hungry?" The twins had nodded their heads. "Let's go find some place to eat. Mitch, do want to bring Shane with you?" Alex knew it would be awkward for her to eat with the couple but she thought it was polite to ask.
Mitchie shook her head, "Nah, it could be just us girls."

The walk to find a restaurant was awkward for two reasons: Mitchie and Alex's break-up; the twins actually hanging out with each other for the first time. They finally picked out a small restaurant that was about three blocks away from the apartment. Alex held the door open for the two girls.
They picked a table that was right next to a window. "Well, this is awkward." Alex said. The twins were sitting on the same side of the table while the wizard sat by herself on the other side. "So, how's everyone's job going?" Alex attempted to start a conversation between the sisters.
"Good, actually." Mitchie answered. "Shane and I are thinking about opening our own music center, with the help of his brothers, of course."
"You play?" Sonny asked in which Mitchie nodded. "What do you play?"
"Guitar, piano, and I also sing." The twin replied.
"Me too, but not as often I like to though." Sonny smiled at her sister. Alex was glad that she finally got the two to talk to each other. "Instead I work on the other side."
"What do you mean?" Mitchie asked curiously.
"I work at a recording studio," Then the smile she had on her face had dropped. "With Chad." She brought her hands up to her face. "I don't even want to know how tomorrow is going to be like." She removed her hands away from her face and placed them on her lap. "Is it going to be hard with Tawni?"
"Nope." Alex answered quickly.
Sonny tilted her head to the side in confusion. "Why's that?"
"Because she is so fired."
"Alex, as much as I hate her right now, I don't think it's very professional to fire her just because you don't like her."
"Oh, it's not like that at all. She called in sick today, that's why I'm firing her." Alex leaned back into her chair and crossed her arms. "See, I can be professional."
Mitchie giggled a little bit at Alex. "You would fire someone if you didn't like them. Why the sudden need to be professional?"
"Pfft, Mitchie, I've always been professional." Alex joked. Mitchie looked at her with playfully accusing eyes. Alex sat up straight in her chair. "Okay, maybe I would've fire her anyway but this way I can actually get away with it being legal."
"I can't believe someone let you own and run a fashion company. I'm surprised you actually went to college after high school and got a job."
"Mitchie, you were with me the whole time, it wasn't that hard."
"I have known you since we were twelve, I know how lazy you can be." Alex waved her hand and looked away. Mitchie turned to look at her sister. "For as long as I knew this chick, she would always con her brothers or Harper to do the work for her."
"I did work." Alex countered.
"Name one time." Alex opened here mouth open and close a few times before leaning back in to the chair again. "See, you can't. But at least you can say you do work now." Mitchie looked around, "Where is our waitress, we've been here about five minutes."
Few minutes after Mitchie had said that, a blond had come up to their table. "Sorry, for the delay, boss man was holding me back. My name's Taylor, what can I get for ya'll to drink?
" "Coffee." Alex answered.
"Cream and sugar?"
"Yes please."
Taylor looked at the twins, "What about you two?"
"Water." The twins answered in unison.
"Okay, I'll be right out with your drinks." The blond walked back into the kitchen.
"You know for siblings who never knew each other, you two have a lot in common." Alex pointed out.
Taylor came back with their drinks and took their orders. The three girls fell into a casual conversation in just about anything that they could talk about.

Sonny and Alex walked back to the apartment after saying goodbye to Mitchie. It was a long day for all of them. Out of nowhere Sonny had grabbed the wizard's hand and rested her head on the girl's shoulder for the rest of the walk to the apartment. Alex was slightly confused at the girl's actions but just went along with it.
Sonny let go of her hand when they entered the apartment and walked to her new bedroom to get change for bed. Alex did the same and afterwards she went to the couch to watch tv. Soon enough, Sonny had come into the living room to join Alex on the couch. The wizard didn't think anything of it at first until the girl had cuddle into her side. She was getting confused on why the girl was getting all cuddly with her. "Not that I'm minding or anything, but what's with the touchy-feely that's going on?"
Sonny looked up at Alex, "Uh, I guess that I'm just really comfortable with you." Alex accepted the answer for the fact that maybe that the girl just needed some comfort after the messy break-up that she had.
