Alex couldn't believe what she has done. She panicked at the thought of her parents seeing her lousy report card grade so she turned them into guinea pigs! She stared in horror at her parents and quickly put them in a cage. She quickly ran inside and placed the cage on the island before rushing to her bedroom.

Justin and Max were tossing a football around. Max sped down the stairs and placed himself in front of the television.
"Justin! I'm open!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air.
Justin jumped the last steps.
"Go long!" exclaimed Justin, throwing the ball.
It flew out of his hand and it landed on the island. It bounced off the surface and hit the cage, knocking it to the ground. The guinea pigs scurried away.
"Oh yeah, that was real long," said Max sarcastically.
Alex rushed in and noticed the upset (and empty) cage.
"What did you do?!" yelled Alex in shock.
"Relax, Alex. It's just a cage," said Justin calmly.
"It's not just a cage, you idiot! It contained two guinea pigs that are Mom and Dad!" she exclaimed.
"WHAT?! You mean that you jinxed Mom and Dad into house pets?!" demanded Justin.
Alex nodded and he glared at her, making her wince.
"That's not all. Professor Crumbs came to see me in my bedroom and took my powers away, so you'll have to be the one to change them back," said Alex in a small voice.
Her brothers stared at her.
"Okay, then. Let's go find our parents," said Max.
"You go! I'm waiting outside!" exclaimed Alex before running out the door.
Justin and Max looked at each other before running upstairs.

Alex was pacing impatiently outside the Sub Station, waiting for her brothers. Suddenly, they came running outside.
"Well? How mad are they?" asked Alex nervously.
"We don't know," answered Max, massaging his rib.
"You don't know?" repeated Alex, scowling.
'Well, you see, we kind of got scared of their reaction, too. So when we found them in Max's closet, we ran away right after I casted the spell," explained Justin breathlessly.
Alex's head was spinning and she was starting to feel faint. Suddenly, she fell forward. Justin caught her, wrapping his arms around her waist and Alex's hands rested on each of his shoulders as she buried her face in his neck.
"Alex! Are you okay?" asked Justin worriedly.
Alex shook her head and she gripped at his shoulders, fighting to stay conscious.
"Dude! She's fainting!" exclaimed Max.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious," snapped Justin.
He then noticed that
people were staring.
"What are they staring at?" he wondered.
An elderly couple passed by.
"Aw, young love," said the woman tenderly.
Max laughed as Justin's eyes nearly popped out of his head in horror and disgust.
"It does look that way, man!" exclaimed Max as he laughed.
Justin sighed and looked at his sister. Her eyes were squeezed shut, hinting him that she was concentrating hard on staying awake. Alex's nails were digging in his skin as her grip tightened, causing Justin to wince in pain.
"Will you stop laughing and get her off?! She has a death grip on me!" exclaimed Justin.
Before Max had a chance to react, Alex went limp.
"There you go," said Justin with a sigh of relief.
"Wow, Alex must really fell bad about what she did to pass out," remarked Max.
"Yeah, and taking her powers away must've taken a toll on her," added Justin softly as he gently stroked her hair.
Max looked inside the sandwich shop and found their parents coming down the stairs.
"Mom and Dad!!" he exclaimed urgently.
"Run!!" yelled Justin.
He picked up Alex, carrying her bridal style, and they all ran as if their lives depended on it.
