I'm so happy I finally finished this chapter. Took me at least four hours! I DO NOt OWN WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE

The next morning didn't come fast enough for Julia. Dreams were clouding her mind and she was hardly listening to what Max was asking her as he paced the lair out of nervousness. Even with the image of a sky with two suns in her head, she still thought he sounded like her mother. Though she was unintentionally tuning him in and out.

"So, you re not gonna move, right?" He asked her for third time. He was still waiting on an answer for the same question, even though it should have been answered the day before. She didn't seem like she was going anywhere, but if Julia was avoiding the question, that meant she didn't want to have to answer. Or she was thinking about crawling through a hallway that had dimensions that made absolutely no sense.

"What?" Julia said, trying to shake herself from her daydream. Max just laughed, realizing she had been completely distracted the whole time he was talking. If that wasn't because she really was going to move after all, then he knew exactly what to say next. "What are you thinking about?"

Julia wished she had an answer for that, but all she had was bits and pieces. Bits and pieces were her whole life. She had no real memories from before coming to New York, most of her life was a blur. Except, of course, when it came to the incidents.

Every time Julia had thoughts like this, she could never tell if they were dreams, or visions. She didn't even know if she had visions. Her powers were strong a times, but as far as she knew, visions were supposed to be vivid. Her dreams were never vivid.

"Nothing, really." She answered finally. "What were you asking me?" Even though she had been quick to change the subject, and that worried Max, he repeated himself for a third time. He figured he had no real reason to be worried. She didn't look worried, even if she was distracted. She was definitely happy, back in her favorite colors. He noticed her long-sleeved purple sweater and pink floral-print dress the second she walked in. "You're not moving, are you?"

I really hope not. She thought. Ruby was paraniod over the little things, and Julia's incidents were anything but little. Lately, Ruby was more comfortable, she liked her life in New York. Which was probably because she was comftable with and liked her boyfriend. Julia tried not to dwell on that, and answered: "No, I'm not going anywhere."

"Are you sure?" She gave him a look. "You sound like my mom." At least you would, if she still sounded like that. "It's just that, as soon as she found out that you told me about your powers—" "I know." She interrupted. She couldn't help it. She didn't want to have this conversation. It seemed like our whole world was gonna fall apart, but we're not gonna let that happen. I'm here to stay."

Max was glad to hear that, but he didn't know what to say. Except for what he was thinking. "I'm hungry." Julia laughed. "Then let's go to the kitchen."

When they got there, Julia turned to Max and said, "By the way, I have to remember to tell your brother congratulations." Max's face contorted. "For what?" "That." She said, as she pointed to Justin and Harper sitting on the couch, with their arms around each other. "What's up?" They said at the same time, chuckling since they really had a habit of doing that. "What's up?" Max echoed, smiling. While Max raided the fridge, Julia put her hands on her hips. "Yeah. Even after the goth girl, the centaur, the werewolf, that crazy clingy mess who called herself your girlfriend and the vampire, I still think this is the weirdest relationship that you've ever been in." Justin and Harper both shot her looks. "How do you know all that?" Justin asked. Julia pointed behind her. "He tells me everything."

"What you just said was a complement, right?" Harper asked. "Of course it was." Julia assured her, smiling. Then she looked at Justin and mouthed: "Finally!", making him laugh. At that moment, Alex descended the stairs, still in her pajamas of course. At the same time, Max tapped Julia on the shoulder, since he knew she hated when he talked with his mouth full, and handed her a handful of purple grapes. She shrieked in excitement and went to go wash them off before she began gobbling them up.

Alex felt like shrieking for a different reason. Still standing on the bottom step, Alex pointed to her older brother and his girlfriend. "What s this? Seriously, am I still dreaming?" She looked at Julia, who was fully enjoying her grapes. "Please tell me I'm having a nightmare." Julia shook her head happily after she swallowed. "This can't be a nightmare, there's grapes involved."

Justin looked at his sister, and guessed by the look on her face that she could set a new pout record, but he couldn't care. He was too happy. "Come sit." He told her. "We're about to watch Cash Cab. Harper recorded it last night." Narrowing her eyes, Alex came down the last step and dragged her feet until she got to the couch and flopped down in between the couple, scoffing in disgust. "Why would she do that?" She asked, sounding annoyed, but still too tired to really do anything about it. Justin shrugged innocently, and looked at his girlfriend. "Why did you do that?" "I thought it was something everyone would want to see." At those words, Julia hurried downstairs, to find Jerry and Theresa.

When Julia, Jerry and Theresa got back upstairs all they could hear was Alex saying "Oh my gosh" as many times as she could manage in a single breath. Justin was suffering from a laugh attack and the three of them saw Max literally jump over the couch to found himself a seat. They joined the others to see what all the excitement was about, even though Julia could guess.

Justin couldn't believe how Harper had just said "Hi, Ben." so casually. That was Alex's turn to laugh. Everyone watched and saw that Harper didn't miss a single question. "You're so smart." Justin told her. "Of course I am. I'm a genius." She joked. The next question they heard barely even made sense to anyone watching. Except for Justin, and Harper, since she answered it no problem. When asked how she knew the answer, all she'd had to say was: "Thank you, Justin." Hearing that, he laughed warmly. "Oh, gross." Alex commented, just making him laugh more.

Julia's dreams were still haunting her, and after awhile she couldn't stand to be around everyone anymore. Especially not Max, because when something was bothering her, he would notice. So, she was standing on the terrace looking down over Waverly Place. She tried to forget about her crazy dreams and just focus on the scenery. So she was so focused that she didn't even her the sliding glass door open and close, and footsteps get closer behind her.

"Are you okay, Julia?" She whirled around, startled. It was Theresa, and she put a hand on her shoulder, looking into her wide light green eyes. "Yeah." She said after some hesitation. "I'm fine." Through the glass, she could see Alex chasing Justin around at top speed with a pillow in her hand, and could only wonder what that was about.

"I just can t believe this is happening. Magic, it's a real headache." She said honestly, making Theresa laugh. "I know all about it." She sighed, but then said: "Sometimes magic is good." Julia was surprised to hear that coming out of her mouth and said: "When?" "Well," Theresa said, not even having to think about it, "I think I've seen magic for myself. The day Max met you. Things changed." "I know." Julia said with a smile. "Do you know he chased me all the way to Central Park just to complement my hair?" "Yes. And I also know that he thought that was the last day he was going to see you." Julia was shocked by that, and shook her head. "That doesn't make much sense. I don t think Max gives himself enough credit for anything. He's so amazing." Theresa laughed warmly in reply. "He could say the same thing about you. I just know that I was lost that day." She told Theresa. "And Max found me."

Theresa nodded. "You found him too, you know. It's like you re his angel." Julia frowned. "I'd hate to correct you Mrs. Russo, but I think I have to." "Why?" She asked. Julia didn t hesitate in answering this time. "You've got it backwards."

"That's so nice." Theresa turned to see the back door open again, and Max leaning one foot on it. His arms were crossed and couldn't keep the smile off his face. Theresa laughed and tousled his hear before heading back inside. Julia walked over and tried to fix it for him, but only made it worse. She whined because of that, and he laughed, walking outside and closing the door behind him.

"Is it your goal," He asked, "just to shock me all the time?" Julia shook her head. "Um, no." She said sweetly and softly. "Not necessarily." They both laughed at that. "When do I get a turn?" He asked her, sounding a bit annoyed that she always seemed to beat her to it. It wasn't like he never thought about doing something totally unexpected. He was always random. Somehow, it just never surprised her.

"Max, it's not up to me." Julia told him. "What do you mean?" She rolled her eyes playfully in response. "You can't ask me how to shock me, you just figure it out by yourself. Otherwise it wouldn t shock me." "Oh, I get it." He said. "Really?" Her own sentence had confused her a bit. "No, not really." He said honestly, making her giggle. "I'm the most random person I know and that didn't make any sense."

"Maybe I'm just babbling today." Julia told Max. "I've been having all these weird dreams lately, and it's really distracting. There's on where I'm standing in an attic at night and I can see what looks like this mob of people outside because there's all this fire, like they're holding up torches. And they're all yelling something, but I can t figure out what it is. Plus, I must be up pretty high because when I'm not really paying attention they all look like ants." Julias answer gave her a thought. Max was barely listening as she went on, but still looking right at her. "Which is weird because when I painted my terrible painting that's what Alex and Harper thought it was. I wonder why Alex never actually told me what it turned out to be. I doubt the dream and the painting are conne—"

Max interrupted Julia, but he didn t have to say anything to do so. She had to hold onto him for balance because the sheer shock nearly knocked her over. It took her a few seconds to realize what was going on, but she didn't hesitate in kissing back. Her pale face turned red from the heat. The wind picked up and blew her platinum blonde hair in every direction as he ran his fingers through it. Even though the kiss was so unexpected that Julia felt like she had lost her senses of sight and hearing in the moment, she thought she could her something coming from the other side of the door. As they broke apart, Max and Julia could tell that it was cheering.

Alex and Harper were jumping up and down. While Theresa rambled Spanglish sentences in excitement and Jerry laughed happily, trying to calm her down, Justin practically tore the sliding glass door open when he ran over to it. "Yeah Julia, you're one to say finally to say finally. How long were we waiting for that?" In response, Julia and Max both threw their heads back and burst out in happy laughter. Then, linked arm in arm, they came back inside, only to be tackled to the couch by an excited Alex. "And we thought nothing could top Harper being on Cash Cab!" Soon the Russo family, Harper, and Julia were all in a weird pile, wondering how seven people were able to fit on one couch. Max and Julia were both upside-down, smiling at each other, while the others laughed and chatted happily. Then, Julia drifted off in thought.

She could see Justin, his blue eyes wide but angry, standing in what looked like an alley. His wand was up, and pointed in some girl's face. Her light blue eyes barely blinked, and she tossed her short blonde corkscrew curls to show that she wasn't fazed. "Are you threatening me, Justin?" She asked, getting in his face. "You should be ashamed of yourself." "Me?" He practically spat the word in her face, but she still stood her ground. "After what you did?" When he said that, she got defensive. "You act like I'm the one who did something wrong." She said, pushing up against the wall. She got as close as she could and whispered, "Some best friend you are, you don't know the meaning of the words..."

Max tapped Julia's shoulder, shaking her out of her trance. "Are you okay?" He asked. "You zoned out." Julia took a second to catch her breath, and tried to shake off the thought.

"Yeah, I'm okay. "For now..."

Thanks for reading, PLEASE REVIEW! I'm going to start part two of this story soon, and I think I'll keep it under the same title rather than start a new story. I'm gonna need some help thinking of ideas for the names of Julia's past enemies and boyfriends. Plus the writing is going to take some time. I still need to think of some plot lines, so if you guys have any ideas or things you would like to see, just let me know. Part two will include MASON! , ZEKE! and one of my OC's, who will be Zeke's love interest.

Also, I started a new story, I'll probably upload the first chapter today, so if you're a Big Time Rush fan please be sure to check it out, and/or if you know any Big Time Rush fans please let them know! This chapter is dedicated to everyone who ever read this story, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
