Alex looked at Niles. "All right, what's the big deal, Mister...?"
"Doctor." He corrected.
"Mister Doctor. Wow, what a weird name!" She said, ignoring his perplexed look.
"You've ruined my life!"
"Ruined it? What do you mean? I gave you exactly what I asked for!"
"I never asked for this!" Niles yelled.
"Yes you did! You said, I wish my life was perfect!"
"You call this perfect?"
"Well yeah!" Alex said. "You're happily married, your brother is nice to you, your dad never got shot-."
"Exactly, and Daphne doesn't exist!" Niles finished. "How can my life be perfect without Daphne? She's the most perfect human being on this earth! She's an angel and
a goddess and I love her more than words can express."
Harper smiled. "That's beautiful." She said tearfully.
"Yeah, yeah... so what are you saying, Mister Doctor?"
"Why do you keep calling me that?" he asked.
Alex laughed. "Well it's your name, isn't it?"
Niles opened his mouth to remind her of his name as pleasantly as possible but he knew that his answer would be anything but pleasant. And so he decided to keep
quiet. He swallowed hard.
"I want my life back! The way it was before you came into Café Nervosa! Where the baseball team was so bad that there's no chance they'll ever get to the Super
Bowl, my father uses a cane and lives with my brother, my ex wife is out of my life forever, and most of all, that Daphne isn't just a dream! She's real! I want to... hold
her in my arms and kiss her the way she's never been kissed before. I want to... beg her forgiveness for my being so insensitive to her sorrows. She was hurting and I
completely crushed her feelings! I have to make it up to her. I-I love her!"
Harper sniffled and threw her arms around Niles, causing him to recoil in surprise. When he glared at her she let go of him. "I'm sorry, but that was just so beautiful!"
She said tearfully.
"All right. Are you sure about this?" Alex asked.
"Quite sure." Niles said.
"Okay then... But first things first..."
Alex pulled out her wand and twirled it around and around, pointing it at Niles' head. "Go back in time remove the sign... of me."
A sprinkling of dust fell from the ceiling and then swirled around the room.
"Great, Okay, now... A perfect life is not so fun; give Mister Doctor back his normal one."
And within seconds, another sprinkling of dust swirled around the room and out the door, sending Alex and Harper with it.
