Do You Believe in Magic

Summary: Alex makes a spell to send Justin into Harper's family instead of hers. But will she decide that things were better when they were siblings? Or will she suddenly realize her feelings for him run much deeper than that?

I don't own WoWP and expect an update of 'If My Girlfriend's Rico...' very shortly.

"Do you believe in magic?"

"Magic? Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha." She nervously broke out into sporadic bouts of laughter.

"Don't laugh at me, but sometimes I think that I can... do magic..."

"You?" She started laughing again. "Do magic?"

"I knew you'd laugh at me. I just think there has to be something more than math equations."

"And science experiments" she chorused in.

"Yeah..." he replied.

Alex frowned. "Look Justin. This isn't fair to you."

"What isn't?"

Alex waved her fingers, "In an instant then you'll see, how brotherly that you can be. Change it back so quickly, and have Justin rejoin our family."

They were both sucked into a portal, as Justin screamed and held unto Alex for his dear life.

"What's going on?"

"You were supposed to be my brother, Justin. Not my boyfriend."

"Huh?"

"We're related." she spelt out more clearly.

"Huh?"

"It was a spell. Look it doesn't matter things will be back to the way they're meant to be soon."

He still looked confused. "Things are the way they're meant to be. I'm meant to be with you."

This was the last thing Alex heard until she reawakened in her bed.

30 Days Earlier.

"Com'on Justin, dance with me." Alex grabbed her brother and pulled him onto the dance floor that they'd converted the sandwich shop into for her sixteenth birthday.

Justin flailed his arms around helplessly until Alex grabbed them from him. "I can't believe we're related" she rolled her eyes.

"Maybe we're not related. You could be a robot" he suggested.

"Why do I have to be the robot?" She asked moving his hands in time with the music.

"Because I'm not a robot."

"No. You just dance like one." she joked.

"Oh, ha ha."

Her brother was a complete dork. A sweet dork. But still a dork. She wondered what it would have been like if she didn't live with him. If they'd just met at school. Would they be friends? She turned around and started dancing with her back to him, looking over her shoulder and giving him a quick joking wink. It just didn't make much sense that there was no one else at her sixteenth birthday party that she'd rather be dancing with than her brother.

"Hey Alex, what do you want for your birthday?" Harper came up dancing with her and Alex saw her eyes were trained on her brother the entire time. Alex followed her gaze.

"I don't know. I've got everything I want. Ooo! Except for that cute bag I saw the other day!"

"You and Justin looked like you were having a good time dancing." Harper noted causing Alex to look at her friend this time. Did she almost sound jealous? Of her?

"Well he definitely didn't get his dancing ability from this family." Alex said indicating to where her father and mother were dancing up a storm in the middle of the floor, and then to where her little brother Max was on his back doing some fancy spin moves for a group of onlookers.

"What did he get from your family?"

Alex shrugged. "Maybe he shouldn't even be part of this family."

"You would so date him if you two weren't related."

"Ew. No." Alex replied simply.

"Well, I would."

"We know you would."

"You should do it. It'll be like an experiment."

"Do what?"

"Spell him into another family. He could even join my family and see if you don't fall for him inside of a week."

Alex was tempted to laugh. Justin? She couldn't be serious. "Just to show you how ridiculous your suggestion is, I'm going to go ahead and do it. Who knows? It might be a good change not to have an older brother around, anyways."

"Are you doing this because it's a good idea or because you want to spite your parents for only letting you have a party at the last minute?"

"Do you care?" Alex asked her friend.

"Nope. I'm good." Harper responded.

"OK. Let me think... Let Justin Russo change his destiny, born into a different family tree. Instead Harper's brother he will be, instead of being related to me."

A portal opened and sucked Justin into it, Harper and Alex watched wide eyed as the whole thing transpired, but before her parents could get to her and punish her she awoke in her bed ready for the new day and what would come of it.
