The entire Russo family, except Alex (Selena Gomez), who is to be staying with her best friend Harper (Jennifer Stone), are preparing for a vacation to Puerto Rico. Alex decides to sneak a peek at Justin (David Henrie)'s personal belongings when his enchanted backpack attacks Alex trapping her as Justin had planned. When her father, Jerry (David DeLuise) comes down to help he accidentally speaks of the forbidden book of spells and how he let Justin borrow it, which Alex takes when no one is looking. Alex wants to go to a party with Harper but her mother, Theresa (Maria Canals Barrera) tells her she cannot go to the party because it is all the way in Brooklyn and she doesn't know the girls' parents. After her parents go out, and her brothers are out of sight, Alex puts a spell on the subway train so it will take them to the party (without actually leaving the building since her parents told her she wasn't allowed to), but Alex and Harper miss the party after almost getting killed by a real subway train and running into a dead end tunnel, only to be saved by Justin. Unfortunately, the side frame of the subway car falls off, just as their parents come back. Because of this, Alex is forced to go on vacation with the rest of the family to Puerto Rico, the kids having their wands confiscated. Jerry considers it crazy since many wizards have gone on the quest and never returned. Later, after Alex was about to use a spell on her mother to convince her to let Alex hang out with a boy named Javier but doesn't work because she does not have the full wand, she gets caught, grounded and forbidden to use magic that means No Dating, No Parties and No Magic for two months. After a heated argument with Theresa, Alex, in a fit of rage, wishes that her parents had never met; unfortunately, the smuggled full-wizard wand and spell book, which Alex was holding at the time, grants her wish. As a result, Jerry and Theresa do not remember Justin, Alex and Max (Jake T. Austin) or each other. The children will gradually forget their past as a result, and then disappear forever. After consulting Jerry, Justin and Alex set off to find the Stone of Dreams, guided by Archie while Max stays at the hotel trying to get Jerry date Theresa, but he is slowly forgeting everything he did in the past in the process. Eventually, Alex and Justin succeed in finding the Stone of Dreams, but Giselle steals the stone. The kids tell Theresa and Jerry their story. Theresa doesn't believe them because she thinks she would never forget her own children. While trying to figure out how to reverse the spell without the stone of dreams, Jerry mentions that if one of the kids was a full wizard, they might be able to cast a spell to reverse it. While preparing to begin the full-wizard contest, Max finally loses all memory of who he is and gets sucked into the vortex of non-existence. Theresa remembers him slightly, and realizes that they were telling the truth. Realizing they must work quickly, Alex and Justin are transported to an ancient battlefield, where the contest will be held. Jerry explains that they will only be allowed to use spells involving the four elements (earth, water, fire, and air). The winner will become a full wizard, and the loser gets nothing, losing his/her powers forever. Alex and Justin engage in what turns out to be an intense battle, and Alex narrowly wins. During the time Theresa has gone go the now-human Giselle and tries to get her to help them. Giselle refuses, saying that she'll stay as a human, and pins Theresa up against a wall. Suddenly Archie (whom just been abandoned by Giselle since she only needed him to get hold of the stone) shows up with the stone in his hand and Giselle turns (shrieking) into a parrot again. When she's fully transformed he gives the stone to Theresa, picks Giselle up and walks away. In trying to come up with a spell to fix everything, Alex turns to Justin for help. However, Justin has lost all his memory by now. Alex pleads with him to remember who she is and to help her. She tells him that he's her brother and that even though they are always bickering, she actually looks up to him and is jealous at how smart he is. She tearfully begs him to not leave her. Justin tells her that even though he doesn't know who she is, he believes her and that he'll never leave her. Just then, the vortex that took Max takes Justin. Jerry tells Alex that she still has enough power to make things right, but has to hurry before it's too late. Just then, Theresa shows up and gives Alex the stone, and Alex then wishes that everything go back to the way it was before, and time rewinds back to the beginning of the argument between Alex and Theresa that started all the trouble, which is quickly stopped when Alex apologizes and accepts her punishments with grace. Theresa apologizes back and they work the problem out. Later, Alex is reunited with her brothers who remember everything that happened. Alex reveals to Justin that because of her wish, she gave up her full powers. He asks her why she'd give it up and Alex responds by saying that she wanted everything to go back to the way it was. She hugs Max and Justin as Jerry and Theresa walk up, surprised to see them hugging and getting along. The kids hug them as Javier comes up to Alex. Theresa offers to let Alex go hang out with him for an hour, but Alex declines. The Russos walk off with Jerry making plans to go see some wizard sites while the rest of the family groans at that idea. File:Example.jpg
