CHAPTER FOUR

I don't own WOWP, only the plot.

After practicing all morning with her newly discovered twin Alex drove home, thinking about how to tell her parents she knew the truth about her adoption. She felt different about her magic, it was now buzzing through her veins and she could feel it every second. She could feel the energy of her power trying to break free, trying but not succeeding. When she arrived home, she parked the Porsche and ran up to the apartment above the sub shop.

"Mom? Dad? I'm back!" Alex yelled into her home of 16 years. She waited but there was no reply. Then she saw the note on the kitchen bench.

Alex, sweetie,

Have gone out to get groceries, Dad is in the

lair waiting for Justin and Max to get back

from their 'adventure'. Should be back before

4:30pm. Have closed the shop for now but will

reopen when your brothers get back.

See you when I get back,

Mom

"Damnit! I have to tell them together without Justin or Max overhearing! Oh well it can wait till Mom gets back. I'll go down and do some more research in the lair.' Alex runs down to the sub shop and runs through the kitchen to the fridge door. She starts to activate her magic but the door swings open before she can place her hand on it. 'Huh. Weird. I always have to put my hand on the door for it to open into the lair.' Alex thought abut it but then dropped it. "Dad. There you are."

"Oh, hey Alex. Did you have a god time shopping? Did you find suitable outfit for tonight?"

"Yep. And I must say so myself it is amazing. I'll show it to you later. Where are Justin and Max? Mom said that they were on an adventure."

"Yeah. Max learnt the spell to go to another planet and the temporary mind erasing spell in the same lesson and he decided to try them out. He sent himself to Mars and then did the mind erasing spell and so Justin has to search the whole of Mars and then bring him back. That boy really needs to learn a lot of things."

"Dad I can get them both back without leaving the room."

"Sure thing Alex. I'd just love to see you do that."

'So. Dad doesn't believe me. Well I'll show him what I can do.'

ALEX'S POV

I closed my eyes and pictured Justin and Max in the Russo lair. Then my mind looked over the surface of Mars until I saw them. I could feel the soft blue glow surround me and then I heard two large and heavy items dropping to the floor. I opened my eyes and sure enough Justin and Max were sitting on the hard wooden floor wincing in pain from the fall. 'Now to bring Max's memory back.' I locked eyes with Max and slowly went through all the memories I had of him. They flickered faster and faster through my mind and I could see realization in Max's eyes. Then his face lit up and he started to complain about his sore butt.

"Ok that was so stupid of me. Now I know to not transport myself to another planet and then use a memory erasing spell. Now where was that space cow?" Max wandered out of the lair and up to the apartment.

"Ok Alex. We are stepping up on your wizard training from now on. That was amazing!" Dad looked at me in a new light.

"Yeah, I know it was amazing. You can thank me later Justin." I smiled at his shocked face, spun on my heel and walked out the door.

JUSTIN'S POV

'Ok. Alex did not just do that. She only ever uses her magic for pointless things like pancakes and fashion. And for getting away with things at school. And where did she get all that power from?'

"Dad? Did Alex just Bring Max and I back from Mars and restore his memory without saying a word or leaving this room?"

"Yep. I'm so proud of my baby girl. She's growing up to be a great wizard. She has a huge amount of power in her. She's discovering herself!" Dad gushed about my little sister, the one who has always managed to beat me at everything. But I wouldn't let her beat me at becoming the family wizard and getting the family power.

"Justin, go find Max and Alex. You need to reopen the sub shop. It's nearly time for the lunch rush. Then you can go and get ready for the concert tonight."

"Sure thing Dad. Sure thing." I said with my jaw clenched. I stalked out of the lair, up the stairs and down the hall. As I passed Alex's room I saw her dancing around in her 'new' clothes. She was singing Falling Down and dancing around her room. 'She doesn't mean to be better then me. She just has more magic than me and can control I better than I can. I should stop trying and just let her win the competition ad get the wizard powers.'

"Come on Justin! Cheer up!" Alex shouted out to me as she spun past, hair flying.

"Did you just answer a question I asked in my mind?"
"Yep. Come on Mr. Mopey! Dance with me!" She reached out and grabbed my hands, pulling me into the dance.
"So why are you so happy?" When I asked this question she stopped dancing.
"I'm happy and sad."

"Why?"
"I can only tell you part of why I'm happy. But I won't. You can find out tonight. Come on lets go design you a Selena worthy outfit."

"But you said-"

"I don't care what I said what I say goes."

"Huh? But-"

"I'm playing with you Justin!"

She dragged me to her wardrobe and opened the doors. Then she parted the curtain of clothes and walked through the back wall. 'How on Earth? That's an outside wall! She just fell out of the building!' Then her head popped back through the wall.

"What, are you scared? Come on!" She grasped my hand and pulled me through the wall. For a second I was free falling and then for the second time in an hour I landed on my butt on a hard surface. I opened my eyes and found myself looking at an Alex themed Fashion Studio. It was totally crazy the was no pattern on the wall just random shapes and swirls. There was color everywhere you looked. One wall was a huge corkboard covered with pieces of paper with designs drawn on them. Some were casual, some formal but all of them were Alex. I turned around and saw a huge wardrobe with the doors wide open. There were rows and rows of clothes, shoes and accessories, each with their own space. Then I saw the balcony. It was silver and had no pattern to it, just a never ending maze of swirls. I walked over to the balcony in a daze and when I reached the rail the noise hit me. I looked over the edge and saw racks of clothes. Then I saw the people. There were tens of them, all looking through the clothes. I heard someone walking up next to me and turned to see Alex walking up next to me with a smile on her child like face.

"Do you like it? It's where I come when I need time away from home."

"Alex? Umm, where exactly are we?"

"Oh. We're in Paris. In my very own boutique to be specific."

"You have your own boutique in PARIS?" I looked at her like she was a mad man.

"Yep. And I'm a famous fashion designer. I design all kinds of clothes and people can mix and match them to create their own personal style."

"Alex. You're 16 and have your own famous fashion line and boutique in Paris. You know if you don't win the wizard competition then you obviously don't have to worry about your life and money afterwards. Now you were going to make me a Selena worthy outfit for tonight."

"Right. Come over here and stand still. Don't move." She guided me to a random spot on the floor and walked over to the huge desk picked up a pad and pencil and started to scribble something down.

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Stand there like I told you to, don't move or talk." She commanded me.

"But-"

"Shut ya yap trap or I will!" she threatened me and then started talking to herself. "One second, Done! Now to see if I have the clothes already made." Sh moved over to the wardrobe and began flicking through the hangers. "No, no, no, no, no, yes, no, maybe, no, no, no, no, no, yes, yes. Shoes. No, no, no, no, no, yes. Accessories. No, no, no, yes. Here Justin go into that room and put these on." she threw a pile of clothes at me and pushed me into the room.

END POV

While Justin was changing Alex sat down at her desk and began to sketch new clothing designs. She drew fantasy dresses for princesses, she sketched out tiaras and crowns for royalty. Her design for a princess's wand was nearly finished when she heard Justin open the door. Alex stood up and walked over to him nodding her head in approval. She had dressed him in a pair of jeans and a white shirt. Over the shirt he had shrugged on a pale blue zip up hoodie. His feet were clad in white skate shoes with different shades of blue stripes. Hanging around his neck was a silver chain with Greek letters. It said: μάγος.

"What does the necklace say?"

"It means Wizard. And before you ask yes I can speak and read Greek. I know pretty much every language."

"When did we learn that?"

"We didn't. I did. I was bored so I studied every night. I have a necklace just like that one. But it doesn't say wizard. Instead it says πριγκίπισσα. And no I'm no going to tell you what it means, your just going to have to find that out by yourself. Now we have to go back home before the lunch rush." Alex told Justin. "Now go and get your other clothes while I get us a way home. Go go go!" Alex pushed him in the direction of the dressing room he used before. Once he was out of sight she turned towards the wall and muttered something under breath. When the spell didn't work she started to glow her soft blue light and put one finger on the wall in front of her. A line ran out from her finger in a spiral until it was a meter across. As Alex pulled her finger way from the wall she heard a gasp from behind her. Justin had just come out from the changing room and saw Alex creating the portal. Then he realized that wizards can't create portals. They just transport them to where they want to be. When Alex realized that someone was watching her. She spun on her heel to see Justin staring at her in awe.

"Come on Justin. Lets go home, get Max and reopen the sub shop." Alex told the stunned boy. She grabbed his hand and walked him towards the swirling blue portal. He had the same sensation as before, free falling in to nothing and then the ground came up to meet his face.

"Ow ow ow ow ow! That hurt! Alex? Why do you never get hurt?"
"Practice Justin. Practice, years and years of it." She walked down to the shop with the 18 year old wizard following her.

So Justin knows that something is up with Alex. Did you notice that I never called Justin Alex's brother or Alex Justin's sister? Congrats if you did! I didn't know if wizards could create portals but out of all the episode that I've seen they haven't. I just wanted to put in a chapter of Alex Justin bonding. Alex is beginning to test out her magic more and more. Alex's Greek necklace means Princess. If Alex can create portals but wizards can't then is Alex a wizard with extraordinary powers or is she even a wizard at all? All will be answered.
