So I'm sitting here watching Shake It Up! And all of a sudden, I see that the WoWP Movie is coming on at 8! Like, is this the best day ever or what! This looks like the last chapter. I'm on part 10/10 on youtube, and I think that it's time to tell you what I've been planning on doing.
I've decided to do a sequal on this story. But they will go back home and it will be episodes that have come on before. There's a new episode on tomorrow or Saturday I think, which is like Apartment 13B or something like that for the halloween episode. Either I could do episodes and turn them into Jalex episodes, or I could come up with something to do so that they are still on vacation, either where they are now or somewhere else. OR, if you guys want me to write anything or have any idea, just PM me and we can come up with something.
Alright, so let's get on with the story.

Chapter 8: Somewhere Only We Know
Alex's POV
We gave them time to take in everything, but Mom looked to be having the hardest time. Once we were back on the sand, she started talking. "No! This isn't possible, are you hearing yourselves right now? Three kids-"
"I'm a sixteen year old girl, will you please stop calling me a kid," I told her. Justin grabbed onto my hand at that moment, squeezing it. "that was actually one of our issues." I trailed off.
"Alright, well, three whatevers-"
"Okay, liking kids better."
"Three kids come here and say that we are their parents? That just doesn't make sense." Mom said, shaking her head at us. I rolled my eyes. Alright so how long was this going to take for her to actually believe us?
"It doesn't make sense. I swore that I would never fall in love with a mortal." Dad said, moving the trees out of the way with magic. Mom really didn't look phased.
"Oh yeah? And now what?" She challenged him. They both walked away, talking to eachother. I turned to Justin to see that he was looking at our hands and then at Max and then back at me.
"So what's going on here?" Max said. "I thought you two hated eachother but now you guys are together every second."
"Max," Justin said, taking a step foward in front of me. "I know that this may sound really weird and gross and you'll probably run and tell everyone, but I love Alex... in more than a sisterly way."
Max looked confused for a moment then looked at me and then back at Justin. He looked at Mom and Dad and opened his mouth but then he stopped. He turned back to Justin and raised his hand, looking like he was going to hit him. Justin pushed me back a little bit, but it was pointless.
"Just take care of her." He said, putting his hand on Justin's shoulder. Wait, he was fine with this?
"Max, don't you think this is weird?" I asked him, taking a step towards him. He just shook his head and laughed.
"This isn't close to the weirdest thing that I've ever experienced. Of course it's kind of freaky, but you guys are really good together... I just don't know how Mom and Dad will take the news. I don't think you should tell them yet... or you could just tell them right now," he said. I raised my eye brow at him and he just nodded his head behind me.
Justin and I both turned around to see both of them looking at us in a strange matter. "Oh yeah, these are definitely not my kids." Mom said, starting to turn around but then looked back at us. "But you have to admit, you guys do seem to really like eachother..."
"You guys really are our kids?" Dad asked. We both nodded. He squinted and then looked back at Mom who started shaking her head.
"This isn't real. It's not right. I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore. Bye." She said hurriedly, running towards the car and hopping in. No! She can't leave! I started trying to run to her but Justin pulled my back.
"Hey, we can fix this without her," he said with determination. Yeah right. If she didn't believe we were her kids then what would happen? Could we really fix this? I looked at Dad who looked somewhat mad.
"I'll deal with you two later," he said to me and Justin. For a moment it reminded me of how things would have been if nothing had happened... because it was all my fault. I needed to fix this. "Alright how did you do the spell in the first place?"
I looked at Justin, who was going to say something, but I cut him off. "I did it. But I didn't mean to, I swear." I said, taking a step away from everyone. Justin looked back at me and smiled a sad smile, grabbing onto my hand and pulling me back next to him, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "Maybe at first I meant it a little, but then after... I used your wand." I said, trailing off.
He pulled the wand out of his back pocket. "This wand?" No Dad, I mean the other wand that you just so happen to carry around. What the heck? I nodded anyway, right now wasn't time for my sarcasm.
Justin looked at me and then took a step towards Dad, releasing me. "Can't you do something?" he questioned. Dad shook his head, but I guess had an idea and looked at the book of spells, then looked back at us. "No, nothing. But it says here, that maybe one of you can fix it. If your a full wizard."
"But the wizard competition is years away, you guys, I only have minutes." Max shouted, putting his hand up. He was right. We didn't have enough time.
"It doesn't have to be years away." Justin said, taking both of my hands in his. My jaw dropped. What was he talking about? We couldn't just do it right now! We still needed to learn! I didn't even know half the stuff I should know!
"But I'm not ready!" I told him. If I did it now, I'm sure I had a pretty good chance of losing, and did I really want to go against my brother AND my boyfriend?
"Alex. We don't have a choice." He said somewhat angrily, his grip tightening.
"If I don't do this, then you dissapear forever," Dad said. I noticed that Mom hadn't left yet. Maybe we still have a chance. My hopes were up, until she started up the car and started to back up.
"MOM!" I shouted, trying to run to the car and stop her but I was stopped by Justin grabbing me around the waist. "NO!"
"So is that lady your Mom?" Max asked suddenly.
"Max, don't you know who that is?" I asked. He looked confused.
"Should I?" He asked. Dad rushed to the middle of all of us. "We have to do this now. Everybody grab onto the wand. Justin and I both grabbed onto the wand. Out of nowhere, a giant tornado came out of no where, and took Max. Please, no!
"MAX!" We all shouted, but it was too late. Justin's grip on me tightened, turning me away from where Max just dissapeared. Why couldn't it have been me? I should have saved him. I shouldn't have said the stupid spell in the first place! What's wrong with me?
"Stay focused," Dad said. I shook my head. "It's only a matter of minutes before time catches up with you and then you guys are the ones to dissapear. "A full wizard, there can be but one. All power to a daughter or son. To an ancient battle transform us free, where one will emerge, in victory!"
Everything around us swirled, and then I was alone, in a tower all alone. The hallways were long, and I couldn't see anything down them. Where was Justin? "Justin!" I called frantically, running down the hall. Please make sure that tornado didn't take him too! I ran up the steps, finally making it to the outside world. There was a huge battle field outside. Rocks started coming out from the ground.
"Alex!" I heard from my right side. There stood Justin, in a new outfit just like I was. I sighed in relief. Alright, so he wasn't gone yet. Dad suddenly appeared far away from us. He told us how to play, and gave us a minute to ourselves. I turned to Justin, who was looking back at me already. Wands appeared from out of no where. I grabbed it.
Okay, so four elements. I could do this. Oh who am I kidding? I can't do this. "Justin," I cried out. He shook his head.
"You can do this Alex." He said, his voice sounding strange.
"If you guys don't try it won't work." Dad called out. I nodded. Okay, game face. I needed to calm down. Whoever won could reverse the spell and everything would be okay.
"Alexandra," I heard as the wind rushed past me. I looked to see Justin standing right next to me. I wrapped my arms around him and crashed my lips to his. His lips moved with my quickly, almost panicky. I didn't like it at all. Something was off. He was kissing me in a way that felt like we wouldn't see eachother ever again.
We broke apart and just hugged eachother. Why did I put him through all this. "You can do this," Justin said. I nodded. Alright. Let's do this. Suddenly we were both on the battle field, a couple feet away from eachother.
"Good luck." I told him. He nodded. And Dad yelled go. I stood frozen for a moment. I saw Justin running towards the glowing orb that was waiting for one of us on it's platform. "Oh! We're going, okay." I said. We went back and forth with eachother, Justin using a fire wall while I used water and made myself closer to the orb, but was taken down to the ground by Justin. It wasn't until Justin started turning me into a pile of goo that I knew what I had to do.
I turned myself into a flower. Yup. All of a sudden I was near the orb, but I couldn't get my arm out to reach. I saw Justin running towards me, and it took all I had not to stop and just let him win. But I had to try. I finally got my arm out, and finally, my hand touched the orb. Justin jumped over it, rolling onto the ground.
And I felt powerful. For the first time in all my life I felt complete. And care free. It felt like I could do anything I wanted. I ran up to Justin who looked confused but happy at the same time if that made sense. I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed until it started to hurt my arms. He spun me around, telling me that I had did it, but I could hear a hint of sadness in his voice that I wish I could make it dissapear.
"Justin, I-"
"No. It's fine."
"Quick," Dad said, running up to us. Justin and I took a step away from eachother. Spell? "Oh, okay. Right, um... but I, I don't know what to do. Uh, Justin help me, I don't know what spell to use."
His face looked confused. "Why would I help you?" He questioned. What did he- oh no.
"Because your my brother?" I questioned back. Please don't tell me I was too late.
"I'm your brother." he stated, but it came out as more of a question. That was it. He was gone.
"No, no Justin please. Please, you can't leave me here," I begged him. The tears started coming out faster every second. "you have to remember. I'm Alex, I'm you sister. I'm your girlfriend too, please. I taunt you and I tease you and I make you life miserable but I love you anyway. You know that, please remember." I sobbed out. "You're everything I wanted to be. I'm jealous of, how smart you are and how kind and how nice. Please don't leave me here. Please."
He was silent for a moment, and I thought it was already too late. Then he spoke. "I'd never leave you. I don't know who you are, but, I believe you." He told me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he wrapped his around my shoulders, kissing me on the forehead.
"Okay, so what spell do I use?" I sniffed, wiping away another tear. He looked confused again. "Well what's going on? I don't, I don't know the situation. Is uh..." he thought for a moment. But all of a sudden that tornado came back, and before I could try to run and pull him back towards me, he was already gone. I started running towards where he was but Dad pulled me back.
"You need to do the spell. You can still fix this. Just concentrate." Dad said, his hand on my shoulder. I nodded taking a breath. All I could keep thinking about was that Justin was gone. And so was Max. How could I do this? Justin should have won this, not me. Why did I have to reach for the stupid magic!
"Reverse the spell, don't make me scream and yell." I tried. Nothing happenend. Oh jeez, now what. I can't keep doing this. I felt like I was going to collapse.
"Try another one. Focus." Dad said. I nodded.
"Because my words of hate, do not my brothers take." I cried out. Nothing happenend. "I don't know how to do this." I told him. "Please help me." That was it. THat's all I could do.
"I'm sorry... I think it's too late." He said. I fell to the ground. He dropped down on his knees, leaning over to see if I was okay.
"Daddy," I whispered, and he took me in his arms. It didn't matter that he didn't remember. He was was Dad, and he knew that. "I need Justin. And Max. You need to help."
"I can't, Alex. If I could you know I would. I know you need them." He whispered. Suddenly we were interupted by another voice. Wait, was that Mom? We both looked up to see Mom with the Stone of Dreams in her hand. How did she get that? Dad pulled my up, balancing me out first before letting me go. Mom threw me the stone, and I looked at Dad.
"Be careful. You can still be a full wizard. Just, wish for your brothers to re-appear." Dad told me, backing up and wrapping his arm around Mom's waist. She just smiled and nodded her head. "We can work out the you and Justin thing." Mom said softly. I shook my head.
That wasn't what I wanted. I wanted things to be normal again. "No." I told them. "It's much more than that. I closed my eyes, gripping the stone. "I want everything go back to exactly what it was."
It felt like I woke up from the deepest sleep ever. When I opened my eyes, and I was standing back in front of Mom in our hotel room, her in her yellow dress from dinner and me in my regular clothes.
"The minute Justin tried to magically glue me to my chair, I knew something was up." Mom said, her hands on her hips. I smiled. "Mom!" I dropped the book of spells and the wand and ran to her, hugging her.
"I'm so, so sorry! I could never hate you, I love you and I mean that." I told her, taking hold of both of her hands.
"Well of course I know that," she said laughing slightly. "but your still grounded."
"Yes, I know," I smiled. Oh I couldn't wait to be grounded. "Ground me, take away my magic, I don't care."
"Okay, as long as you've learned your lesson." Mom said. I couldn't help it. I hugged her again.
"Hey Alex!" I heard someone yell from outside. "JUSTIN!" I screamed, running out the door and down the street. "Justin! Max!"
I saw both of them and ran, hugging both of them at the same time. I did it! I fixed it, and I had both my brothers back. I couldn't believe it.
"What did you do?" Justin asked, pulling my back into his arms. I cupped my hands together, showing him the full wizard magic, but instead having it dissapear. It was all gone.
"You gave up your powers. Why?" He asked, smiling somewhat.
"I wanted everything to go back to the way it was. Like nothing changed." I smiled. He sighend, grinning then looked back at me. "I love you."
"I love you too," I told him, hugging him. I pulled back and pressed my lips to his, to which he sighed and responded, turning it into a longer, passionate kiss.
"Hey, I'm right here." Max said. I pulled back.
"Yes, you are and I love you for that!" I laughed at Max, hugging him. All of a sudden I felt him tense up and I turned around to see Mom and Dad standing there. Wait, did they just see Justin and I-
"Care to explain that?" Mom and Dad both asked at the same time. Justin stepped in front of me, looking at both of them, but before he could talk, they grabbed him and pulled him into another hug.
"This is going to take some getting used to..." Dad muttered, patting Justin on the back.
"Woah wait, you're not mad? How'd you figure out-" I started to say, but was cut off.
"We just, knew from the beginning. In the beginning, we were upset at first, that's why we were so distant from you guys. But now, after all that just happenend-"
"Wait, how do you guys know what just happenend?" Max wondered. That doesn't make any sense.
"We saw snippits. When we both saw you at the end when Justin and Max were gone, I just... I knew that you guys were suppost to be with eachother." Dad said. Okay, I'm just not going to question this. I felt Just put his arm around my waist and pull me to his chest.
"So everythings back to normal?" I asked. They all agreed and we started walking back to the peer. I guess that things were going to have to work with eachother for a while... hopefully this doesn't get awkward.
"Aw! Stupid bird!" Mom screamed after the bird pooped right on her shoulder. We all laughed. Yeah, totally not awkward.
That was probably the worst ending ever. I didn't know how to end it. I wanted the parents to find out, but I didn't know how I wanted them to react... maybe in another future chapter if I make one it will have the really talking about the thoughts on Jalex.
So leave a comment or a message and tell me what you guys want me to do. Either continue on or stop and start another story using episodes from tv. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed all of this, and thanks to all the reviewers that stood with me throughout all of this. It really means a lot! :)
