## Dialogue

    [Alex has refused to let her mother help her pack and Harper has just left]
    Theresa: Fine. But one of these days I just might not be there to offer it. [starts to leave]
    Alex: Mom. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
    Theresa: I know what you meant. Finish packing.
    Alex: [picks up her wand and magically packs her stuff] Done. [Theresa glares at her and she uses her wand to unpack her stuff] Undone. See what I just did there? It's called lightening the mood.
    Theresa: Well, I hope you got it out of your system, because I've declared this vacation magic-free. [holds out her hand] Hand it over.
    [Theresa has caught Alex talking to Javier about the party at the resort]
    Theresa: What are you working out?
    Alex: How sweet I have to be for you to let me go to this party tonight.
    Theresa: With him? It's so not happening.
    Alex: Why can't I go?
    Theresa: Alex. First of all, we, all of us, together, we're on vacation, honey.
    Alex: More like a never-ending photo shoot.
    Theresa: I am trying to create memories. And second, I said no. You don't need to be spending any more time with that boy.
    Alex: But you don't even know him.
    Theresa: I know that he's too old for you, that he probably hits on every girl that comes to this resort, and, at best, he's just trying to hustle you into taking more windsurfing lessons. [keeps walking, but Alex stops]
    Alex: [uses her finger to cast a spell on her mother] A party I must attend, on that we can't agree. But for a refreshing change, today you'll side with me.
    Theresa: You know what? You're young. Go. Have a good time. [turns away, but realizes what she said and the spell wears off] What am I saying? Absolutely not. Come on, everybody's waiting.
    [Theresa has caught Alex trying to cast the same spell she tried to cast earlier]
    Alex: Mom, what are you doing here?
    Theresa: The minute Justin tried to magically glue me to my chair, I knew something was up. You will just NOT stop, will you?!
    Alex: Well, what am I supposed to do?! Since you've decided you wanted to control EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF MY LIFE.
    Theresa: Please. Do you think I'm doing this for me? Like you're actually pleasant to be around?
    Alex: I am 16! You can't keep telling me... what to do!
    Theresa: Watch me. For the rest of this trip you are going to be pleasant and present.
    Alex: You can't make me!
    Theresa: And when we get home, you are grounded for 2 months.
    Alex: (Grounded? 2 months?)
    Theresa: That's right. No dating, no parties, no magic.
    Alex: MOM!
    Theresa: Not another word. I've had it. Now put that stuff away. [leaves the room and shuts the door behind her]
    Alex: OH, I HATE you! I WISH YOU AND DAD HAD NEVER EVEN MET! [the wand in her hand glows and an aurora starts to fill the room causing the spell]
    Alex: Justin, help me. What spell do I use?
    Justin: Why would I help you?
    Alex: 'Cause you're my brother. Look I'm sorry you didn't...
    Justin: I'm your brother?!
    Alex: No, no, Justin. Please, you can't leave me here. Please remember. I'm Alex. I'm your little sister. I taunt you, and I tease you, and I make your life miserable, but you love me anyway. You're everything that I ever wanted to be. I'm jealous of how smart you are, and how kind, and how nice. Please don't leave me here.
    Justin: I'd never leave you. I don't know who you are, but I believe you.
    Alex: Okay, what spell do I use?
    Justin: What's going on? I don't... I don't know the situation. [twister comes]
    Alex: NO, JUSTIN! [twister takes Justin] NO! [to Jerry] You have to help me. Justin should've won this, not me.
    Jerry: Just be calm. You can do this.
    Alex: Reverse the spell, don't make me scream and yell.
    Jerry: Try another one. Focus.
    Alex: Because of words of hate, do not my brothers take. I don't know how to do this. Please help me.
    Jerry: Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I think it's too late.
    Alex: No, it can't be too late.
    Theresa: Hey. Will this help? [throws Alex the stone]
    Alex: [catches the stone] The stone.
    Jerry: Careful. You only have one wish, but if you do it right, you can get your brothers back and still be a full wizard. Just, just wish for them to reappear. Okay?
    Alex: No. No, it's much more than that. I want everything to be exactly the way it was.
    Theresa: Alex!
    Alex: Mom?
    Theresa: The minute Justin tried to magically glue me to my chair, I knew something was up. You will just NOT stop, will you?!
    Alex: Mom! [hugs Theresa] I am so, so sorry. I could never hate you. I love you. You know that, right? And I'm not just saying that. I mean that.
    Theresa: Well, yeah, of course I know that, honey. But you're still grounded.
    Alex: Yes, I know. I can't wait to be grounded. Ground me, take away my magic, I don't care.
    Theresa: Okay. As long as you've learned your lesson. [hugs Theresa again]
    Justin: Hey, Alex!
    Alex: Justin! Max!
    Theresa: You miss your brothers?
