"Mr Hune you can't kick us out" Jerry said as he and Theresa followed a man in a suit out of the sub-station "I can do anything I want I own the building" Mr Hune said smiling "Dad why are you yelling at the landlord, remember we put holes in the walls and we cover them with posters"
Alex said quietly to her father, I chuckled "Alex, we're being evicted" Theresa said angrily "Oh evicted sounds so mean, I prefer to say 'Giving you a chance to live somewhere that's not here" Mr Hune said "That's still mean you just said it in a nice way" Justin said, Mr Hune shrugged
"Listen Mr Hune our sub-station provides a valuable service to the community, I mean where else are people gonna eat when they wanna call in sick to work the next day?" Alex asked, I smiled a little "Mr Hune you don't wanna kick my family out on the street, just look at them"
Jerry said motioning to us, I looked at everyone and they all had sad faces apart from Max who was smiling weirdly "Look if your dad hadn't sold me this building in 1957 then we wouldn't be in this mess, so blame yah dad not me" Mr Hune said "Nice going dad"
Max said, we all looked at him "No his dad our grandpa" Alex said "Oh Grandpa Russo I love him. He always pulls a jelly bean outta my ear when I see him. Cuz I always got one in there" Max said pulling a red jelly bean out of his ear, my eyes widened a little but soon went back to normal
"You have 30 days to pack up and get out" Mr Hune said, the others went in and Max jogged up to him "Wait, would this jelly bean change your mind?" he asked "15 Days" the man said before walking away, I groaned "I got us 15 days, 15 days" Max said excitedly,
I rolled my eyes and pulled him into the sub-station "We can't lose our home, I just had a bunch of return address stickers printed up" Justin whined, I sat down at the counted but turned so I was facing them all "Look maybe this is a good thing, maybe we can finally move somewhere where we don't have a spiral staircase where customers can walk directly into our living room"
Theresa said annoyed "Theresa we can find another home, the real problem is we can't find another lair" Jerry explained "That's righ if we lose the lair we lose all contact with the wizard world" Justin said "How are we gonna get there without a portal?" Alex asked "You won't" I said, they all looked at me "My old lair was trashed remember? When my parents tried to steal yours? Well you can't find another way there I tried"
I said sadly "Well why don't we just shrink down our lair with our magic stick thingy's and then pack it in a suitcase" Max said, we all gave him a weird look "Magic stick thingys? Their called wands Max, what's the matter with you?" Jerry asked
"I shrunk my brain down so I could fit in more jelly beans" Max explained, I rolled my eyes "Well make it big again" Jerry said, Max pulled put his wand and aimed it at his head, in a blue flash red jelly beans started puring out of his ear "Look we can't shrink the lair, my great great grandfather chose this place for the Russo family wizard lair and we're not alowed to move it"
Jerry said "Actually dad there's a solution, we can appeal to the wizard council...C'mon to the lair" Justin said quite excitedly, everyone minus Alex followed him in "Really we're gonna follow someone that says 'To the lair?" Alex asked in disbelief, I chuckled and walked into the lair to find Justin on the abracadoodler phone thingy "Abracadoodler one lair relocation application please"
he said, it popped up on the screen and he hung up "Okay page one, of 4000 c'mon" he exclaimed annoyed "Man that's gonna take you guys months to fill out" Alex groaned, I rolled my eyes "We don't have months we have 15 days" Jerry said "15 days, .welcome" Max said smiling "Okay this is just rediculous why don't we just go back in time and tell grandpa not to sell the building to Lenny Hune?"
Alex suggested "She does have a point" I said in thought "Girls time travelling can be very hazardous whatever we do in the past could negatively effect the present day, by causing ripples in the fabric of time" Justin said "Besides we don't even have to worry about that because we don't even have a time travel device" he added "Actually we do" Jerry admitted "Come again?"
Justin said nervously "I didn't wanna tell you guys about it because I didn't want any of you to be tempted..." Jerry started while going into a large wooden chest "...But now it seems like our only option" he said putting a ball with a skull in it on the table "Wow we're gonna time travel through a mysterious crystal orb, looks like it didn't work out to well for the last guy" Max said,
I laughed a little "No no no honey this is actually a bowling ball your father bought when he was gonna go pro" Theresa said taking the ball from Max, I sat down on the desk and Jerry popped up "That could still happen Theresa" he said pulling something out of the box
"Here it is my first time machine" he said putting the object down on the table, it looked like a kids toy "The time travelling device looks like a kid toy?" Justin asked in confusion "That could be dangerous can you imagine how many kids must be lost in time right now?" he asked, I thought about it and it did seem a little iffy "There you guys are" we all turned to the entrance to see Harper
"Wait a minute, is this a meeting about me because you all agreed to let me stay in the basement until I graduate just let it go" she said "Harper we have to go back in time to save the lair you in?" Alex asked walking over to Harper "Well it's been a while since I been on a mad-cap adventure with you guys, why not?" Harper said shrugging "So grandpa sold the building in 1957 right?"
Alex asked picking up the time-travel machine "No wait guys there's a safer alternative here I mean look were on page three" Justin said motioning to the abracadoodler "Okay everybody were leaving" Alex said moving the spinner around "Where to?" Max asked "1957" She replied "I've heard of that place" he said, Alex pushed the button and Justin ran over "No Alex what are you doing?"
he asked bumping into her, the whole room started spinning but finally stopped, I realised the room was slightly darker but there were disco lights everywhere, I also noticed my clothes were different, but nice "Wait this isn't 1957, we travelled to 1977 Justin you must've bumped the arrow when you got all grabby with this thing" Alex exclaimed annoyed "'m only trying to save our universe"
he hissed "Jerry we know this song, c'mon lets shake our groove things before we go" Theresa said, they all walked down onto the dancefloor but I stayed by the stairs, dancing really wasn't my thing "No nobody's shaking their groove things" Justin exclaimed 'Oh c'mon Justin we can't let these fine threads go to waste let's boogie" Harper said "We could change the future we need to get out of here...I do love this song though"
Justin said suddenly changing his mind, they all suddenly started dancing and I laughed "Okay that's enough of the bump let's go" Alex said grabbing the time-machine, she pushed the button again and the room once again spun, only this time the sub-staton was a little brighter and our clothes were deffinatly different "Hey, this is my dad's old diner" Jerry exclaimed looking around,
I looked around too and it was actually pretty cool "Yeah I've seen this place in pictures, should've kept it black and white" Max said "Nice glasses nerd" Alex said to Justin, I chuckled and sat down at one of the tables "Actually in the 50's were called point dexters, but your still annoying" he replied "Hey customers" someone exclaimed, I looked to see a guy at the counter
"Can I interest you in a special? Hamburger soup, and incase your wondering it has nothing to do with yesterdays special, Hamburgers" he said, I rolled my eyes "He's brilliant" Jerry whispered to us "Yep, he's deffinatly your dad, dad" Alex said, Jerry steped forward and hugged the guy "Oh no please don't hurt me all the cash is in the register" the guy said scared
"I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm your son" Jerry said pulling away, the guy looked very confused "What? I don't have any kids I'm not even married and your older than me" the guy said, he noticed Alex holding the time machine "Wait, is that a 'My first time machine?" he asked, Jerry took it from Alex "Yes, we used it to travel from the future, you gave this to me as part of my wizard training" Jerry explained
"I did? You are my son..YES I'M NOT GOING TO DIE ALONE!" the guy shouted, I chuckled "Uh grandpa I'm waiting" Max said pointing to his ear "For what?" The guy asked "For you to pull the jelly bean out of my ear" Max said "Tell me I'm not related to this one" the man said turning to Jerry
"Uh this is your grandson Max" Jerry said, the man shook hands with Max "And this is your other grandson Justin, and this is your grandaughter Alex" he said introducing his young father to his grandchildren "And I'm Harper I'm just a friend who lives in their basement" Harper said "The basement? So in the future they get rid of the ghosts?" the guy asked hopefully
"I told you people I wasn't seeing things" Harper exclaimed "Nice to see you Hank, I'm Theresa" Theresa said, he took hold of her hand and kissed it "Are you my uh wife in the future?" the man who's name I guessed was Hank asked flirtily "No dad actually she's my wife in the future" Jerry said "Well is my wife as beautiful as her?" Hank asked "Well a lot of people say I look just like mom"
Jerry said "Oh jeepers" Hank said "Oh and before we forget this is Cassy, Max's girlfriend" Theresa said, Hank looked at me and I waved a little "Wow, she's a pretty one. How did he get her?" Hank asked, "Very long story" I said shaking my head, he nodded "Anyway after all that time travel you guys must be hungry, why don't you take a seat and I'll cook yah some grub"
he offered "Oh how much for a bottle of water?" Harper asked "You want me to fill a bottle with water and charge you for it? Okay but it sounds a little cooky" Hank said smiling "Oh yeah see in the future people pay a ton..." Justin shushed Harper causing her to stop in her sentence "Your messing with the fabric of time, no more talking about the future. Okay let's get down to buisness, Grandpa sometimes this year a man named Lenny Hune will offer to buy your building"
Justin said "And don't sell it to him, he's going to evict us in the future and our wizard lair will dissapear" Alex said "No lair? Well a wizard without a lair is like a telephone without a cord. Don't worry kids your grandpa will not sell this building to Lenny Hune, wow, grandpa ain't that a kick?" Hank asked chuckling, Max nodded "Well okay guys let's get outta here before someone tells grandpa about the internet"
Justin said "What's the internet?" Hank asked "I've said too much" Justin whispered coming over to us, I notice a girl walk trough with a poodle and I imediately walked over to it "Can I?" I asked the girl while motioning to the poodle, she nodded and I crouched down to pet it "Oh look a poodle, yah know your skirt would look so much better with the poodle on it" Harper said to her,
she nodded and I let her carry on "Oh no Cassy" Harper said nervously, I turned around to see the others gone "Oh great, how about we have some fun?While we wait for them I mean" I asked hopefully, she thought for a moment before nodding "Sure, hey I have no idea how long it's gonna be before they come back, can we enroll into Tribeca Prep now? I don't wanna jeapordize my attendance record" she said, I rolled my eyes
"Harper it's the 50's" I said, she shrugged "Please" she begged, I thought for a moment "Okay on one condition" I said, she nodded "We have ourselves some fun first" I said, she nodded "Deal, where d'you wanna go?" she asked, I shrugged "How about we enroll into the school first, then I wanna go to those movie thingys yah know the drive in ones" I said, she nodded "This is gonna be awesome" she exclaimed, I chuckled and we both left the sub-station.
