Alex of Waverly Place

Episode 6: "The Harper Games"

Mason makes a brief laugh and says, "Good! So you do know! I'm so glad I don't have to hide that from you anymore."

"Why couldn't you tell me in the first place instead of keeping secrets?" Alex asks.

Mason looks at Bridgett and says, "It wasn't my secret to keep, I'm afraid."

Alex looks at Mason in understanding before the now four member group sits in silence and acceptance that is deafening.

"What do we do now?" Mason asks. The three girls sit with wonder as well, but nobody says a word. They think of possibilities and list some for awhile.

"We can antagonize the customers at the sun shop," Bridgett insists. Alex nods in agreement with Bridgett while Harper and Mason shoot down the idea.

"We never got to see the movie." Harper starts, "If you all want, we can just watch a Webflix movie and I can go make popcorn."

In unison, Mason, Alex, and Bridgett agree. Harper starts walking out while Mason works on setting up the big movie projector in the lair.

"Hey, why don't we watch a movie from the Wizard World?" Alex asks.

"What's the difference between a wizard world movie and a mortal world movie?" Bridgett asks.

Mason cuts her off, "Oh, you'll see. In the spell, you must change the name of the movie to parody it to some mortal movie and it changes the characters and projects you into the movie. It's really neat."

"We'll watch this one. It's called 'The Harper Games.'" Alex says.

Bridgett questions, "Harper? Like Harper here-- Harper?"

"Yes, Harper." Alex replies.

In that moment, Harper came running back to the lair and rapidly speaks about Jerry and Theresa and police.

"Harper, calm down." Alex says.

"Alex, the police are outside your house with your parents in handcuffs," Harper says, "Max called the cops on your parents."

"Oh," Alex says. "Well. I say whatever they did, they go to jail for for two hours until we're done with this movie and after that when they learn their lessons, we bail them out. Who's with me?"

Harper and Mason scurry out of the room disobeying Alex's request.

LATER ON-

Jerry and Theresa are taken out of police custody.

Jerry looks at the group of teenagers before him, "All of you. Leave."

Bridgett, Mason, Max, Alex, and Harper begin to leave the room but Theresa stops Max and Alex, "Except for you two."

The remaining three leave the room and go to the lair.

"What was this all about?" Jerry asks.

Alex stands up, "Well, it looks like Max has a lot of explaining to do so I guess I'll leave you all alone."

"Sit down." Theresa says.

Max starts talking. "Alex told me that you overworked me. As a business man now, I have to look out for myself no matter who I step on. So, I'm suing you."

"Max," Theresa says, "working three hours a day isn't illegal. Maybe you're not cut out for business yet. We'd like to ask for ownership of the sub shop back."

Max begins rallying of excitement, "Phew. Now I don't have to wake up as early on weekends. The shop is yours. As long as I still get free sandwiches."

"Deal." Jerry says clearly confused as Max already received free sandwiches prior to owning the shop.

Max yells, "Sweet!" before going downstairs to the shop once again. Alex then tries sneaking away but is stopped by Theresa.

"Mija," she begins, "you know I don't want to do this. But soon you need to decide with what you're going to do with your life. You're twenty years old now. That's all I'm going to say to you."

Alex stares at her for a moment taking in her words, but suddenly brushes them under the rug when she smiles and runs out of the room "Okay thanks, bye!"

Now in the lair, Alex shows Bridgett what a Wizard World movie is. "Harper, Bridgett, Mason, come here."

"Oh, no." Harper says. "Not again. Alex, you know I don't like seeing a fifth dimension version of myself."

"Oh come on, it'll be fun." Alex says. Bridgett looks at Harper, attempting to get her to crack, which she ends up doing anyways.

"Fine." Harper says.

Alex pulls out her wand and recites the spell inside the DVD case, "Movie see, movie do. Harper, Alex, Bridgett, Mason. The Harper Games."

Just then, a holographic version of Alex, Harper, Mason, Bridgett, and other characters appear before them dueling it out in a 24 person death match. Alex, Mason, and Bridgett cheer on themselves in a normal voice. Meanwhile, Harper stands on the couch screaming at her hologram for its victory. The machine senses mortality in the movie and Harper, powerless, dies off quickly. Alex in the movie has a wand while Bridgett and Mason turn into wolves. After a while, Alex and Mason are able to win the Harper Games after a game maker changed the rules.
