Sam & Cat & the Haunted Thundermans: Back to the Past

Chapter Four: You Don't Remember Them?
Alex Russo POV

"Bye, Alex, Justin, and Max!" Mom and Dad shouted to my siblings and I as they waved at us.

It was now 7:40 in the morning here in New York on Monday, May 4th, and Justin, Max, and I were standing at the front door of our house, about to start another journey to school. Personally, I was not looking forward to going back to school today since I have a huge algebra test today. By the look on my brothers' faces, I could tell that they were not looking forward to it either. I mean, who likes going to school on Mondays anyway?

"Bye, Mom and Dad!" Justin, Max, and I replied as we all slung our back packs over our shoulders.

Justin then opened the door for Max and I. Just as we were about to start walking, ten people magically appeared right in front of us. I immediately recognized them as our old childhood friends, Taylor and Frankie Hathaway, their mother, Michelle Hathaway, and their friends, Carly Shay, Hank, Barb, Phoebe, Max, Billy, and Nora Thunderman.

"OH, SHOOT!!!" A male voice that seemed to come out of nobody shouted, "WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!!! WE FORGOT TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT!!!"

"WHAT DID WE FORGET TO DO, MILES!?!?" Another male voice that seemed to come out of nobody asked, "OH, AND WHY ARE YOU TALKING SO LOUD!?!?"

That's when I recalled Taylor, Frankie, and Ms. Hathaway's ghost friends, Ray, Miles, and Louie Preston. I figured that they must be here too and that we just cannot see them right now since most people are not able to see ghosts.

"LOUIE, IF I AM TALKING THIS LOUD, THEN YOU KNOW WHAT WE FORGOT TO DO!!!" Miles shouted at Louie.

"HUH-" Louie began still confused, "OH, I KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW!!!"

"WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE TO HELP YOU GUYS OUT IN A SECOND!!!" Mr. Preston told Taylor, Frankie, Ms. Hathaway, Mr. and Mrs. Thunderman, Carly, Max, Phoebe, Nora, and Billy.

"Ok!" They all replied.

"Hey, Taylor, Frankie, Ms. Hathaway, Mr. and Mrs. Thunderman, Carly, Max, Phoebe, Nora, and Billy!" I greeted them all, "It's been months since we all seen each other! Oh and by the way, how the heck did you guys get here like that?"

"We used the teleportation watches that I created while I was still a super villain," Max Thunderman explained to me.

"Oh, I remember those! Wait-"

"Wait, Alex, you still remember us all?" Carly asked, cutting me off.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"

Before anyone could answer me, Mom asked, "Michelle, Frankie, and Taylor Hathaway? What are you three doing here?"

"And Alex, how do you know all of these other people?" Max Russo asked me.

I gave my little brother a strange look. "You don't remember them?"

Mom, Dad, Justin, and Max Russo all shook their heads at me.

"They're the superheroes who know about our secret! They're the ones who we went to court with so we could try and prove Taylor and Frankie's friends as innocent, which they were! They're also the ones who helped us break them out of a jail in Louisiana when we lost the case!"

Again, they all shook their heads.

"Nope, doesn't ring a bell," Dad told me.

I was starting to get nervous about my family. I also started to get nervous about myself too, but more my family. I mean, if they're all here, then I can't be going crazy, right? All of the stuff that I remember must be true! I bet that Max Russo just used an amnesiac spell against Mom, Dad, and Justin and is pretending to be amnesiac too just to stress me out!

I then turned towards Nora, Billy, Max, Phoebe, Carly, Mr. and Mrs. Thunderman, Frankie, Taylor, and Ms. Hathaway. "What's going on? How come they can't remember? Oh, and Max, how come you're not a super villain anymore?"

"It's all a very long story," Phoebe sighed, "Or stories, I should say."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Alex, they're not the only ones who forget what was really supposed to happen," Taylor began, "In fact, the majority of us here forget it too."

"What was really supposed to happen?"

Before any of my friends could explain, a tall man with brown hair and brown eyes, who I assumed was Mr. Preston, a boy with brown hair and blue eyes, who I assumed was Miles, and an even younger boy with light-brown hair and light-blue eyes, who I assumed was Louie, walked up to us.

"Oh thank goodness, you remember!" Miles sighed out of relief.

"How come I'm the only one who remembers!?!?" I cried, started to get frustrated.

"Oh no, you're not the only one, Alex!" Taylor told me.

"Yeah, Phoebe, Carly, and Miles remember everything too!" Billy added.

"That's it? Not anyone else? Just us four?"

"Well, so far," Billy replied, "We still haven't got a chance to tell the others about what is happening yet."

"What is causing all of this? What is causing the majority of us to forget and only the minority to remember?"

"Honestly, we have no clue," Phoebe began, "Actually, we do have a clue. We know that our enemies must be behind this; we just don't know what they did to make this happen."

"Alright, where are we going next?" I asked, glancing down at the wrist watches that Carly and Phoebe were wearing, "Who are we going to now?"

"I was thinking Henry, Charlotte, Captain Man, and all of their friends, but don't you think that we should explain everything to the ones who look completely clueless right now?" Carly questioned, as she motioned towards Mom, Dad, Max Russo, and Justin.

"Oh, yeah. We probably should."

"Hey, we're not clueless!" Justin argued.

"Oh, really? If you're not clueless, then you should be able to tell me who these people are?"

"Ms. Hathaway, Taylor Hathaway, Frankie Hathaway, and... Umm... Their friends!"

"Can you tell me the names of their friends?"

"Of course I can!"

"Then, tell me who they are!"

"They're.... Umm.... One is named Max, right?"

"Do you know which one is Max?"

Justin thought for a moment. "Don't have a clue..."

I smirked.

Max Russo turned around towards Justin and gave him a weird look. "Really, Justin!?!?"

"What?" Justin asked, still acting clueless.

"You just said that you don't have a clue when you just told Alex that we weren't clueless! The suffix less means without, and if you don't have a clue, that means that you are without one! So basically, in a way, you just admitted that you are clueless!"

Justin paused for a moment. "Well, then maybe I am clueless! But, can somebody please explain everything to us? I'm really confused right now!"

"Yeah, so am I!" Mom, Dad, and Max Russo agreed with Justin.

That's when Carly, Phoebe, Miles, and I told Mom, Dad, Justin, and Max Russo the story that we remembered. Since I was not present for most of their friendship, Carly, Phoebe, and Miles did the majority of the talking. However, I did chime in towards the end of the story and added in what I remembered, which is exactly what Carly, Phoebe, and Miles remember.

"So, do you guys believe us?" Miles asked Mom, Dad, Justin, and Max Russo once we were done explaining everything to them.

They all thought for a moment. After a short moment of silence, Dad finally spoke up and said, "I believe you guys."

He then turned towards the rest of my family. "Do you guys think that I'm crazy for believing them?"

"No, because if I did, then I would think that I'm crazy too!" Mom exclaimed.

Dad chuckled. "Great, then we could be crazy together!"

"I believe you guys too!" Justin chimed in.

"Great, then we would all be crazy as a family," Max Russo began, "I mean seriously, no one had ever gone so far into a prank that they teleported themselves somewhere!"

"Yeah, if I ever saw a person who would go that far, I would go right up to them and shout, 'GET A LIFE!!!" right in their face!" Justin exclaimed.

We all laughed at Justin's remark.

"So, Taylor, Ms. Hathaway, Mr. Preston, Louie, Mr. and Mrs. Thunderm, Nora, Billy, Max, can you guys please explain to me what it is that you remember?"

"Ok," they all agreed.

The first difference that I noticed between the two stories was that their beginnings were completely different! And, the beginning of the story that everybody else remembers led to all of us never meeting each other. This meant that they don't remember my family and I helping them out or all of the stiff that happened to them before we met. Also, for some reason, Max betrayed Carly and Phoebe in their story and for some reason, they don't have their super powers anymore! As I am listening to the story, I start to wonder what made him betray The Dark Hurricane and The Dark Hurricane instead in Carly, Phoebe, and Miles' story. I start to recall of the friends that Max made during the journey that he really went through. Most of them, except for a few, are all good influences. That's it! Some kindness must of rubbed off of Max, making him realize that sucking out Phoebe and Carly's powers was the wrong thing to do. Looks like the super villain version of Max used to have a soft spot!

"Alright, are you guys ready to go see Henry, Charlotte, and Captain Man?" Phoebe asked once Taylor, Frankie, Ms. Hathaway, Mr. Preston, Miles, Louie, Mr. and Mrs. Thunderman, Billy, Max Thunderman, and Nora were done telling me their story.

"Wait, aren't Henry and Charlotte and school by now?" Miles asked.

"Oh, shoot, you're probably right!"

"Well, maybe if we leave right now, then we'll be able to catch them right before they leave or as they're leaving," Carly suggested.

"Alright, does anybody know the address of Henry or Charlotte's house?"

We all shook our heads.

"And of course the only ones who've actually been to Henry's house, Frankie, Nora, Billy, and Louie, don't remember them at all!" Carly said sarcastically.

"Well, maybe we'll be able to catch them at Junk N' Stuff," Miles suggested, "Captain Man will most be likely be there and maybe if Henry and Charlotte are in school, he'll be able to pull them out!"

"Alright, let's go there then!" Phoebe and Carly announced in unison.

With that being said, Phoebe and Carly started tapping buttons on the touchscreen of their teleportation wrist watches.

"Alright, everybody grab onto either me or Phoebe!" Carly ordered.

Without any hesitation, Mom, Dad, Justin, Max Russo, Ms. Hathaway, Taylor, Frankie, Mr. and Mrs. Thunderman, Max Thunderman, Billy, Nora, and I grabbed onto Carly and Phoebe. They then quickly tapped another button on their watches, which caused us to quickly disappear into tiny, blue molecules. Off we went to go and see Henry, Charlotte, and Captain Man. Hopefully, Henry and Charlotte won't be in school, and more importantly, they'll remember what really happened!

A/N: I'm going on my choir trip tomorrow, guys!!! I'm so excited!!! Hopefully, my friends will be placed in the same group as me! Well, have a nice morning/afternoon/night!
