Angrily, Alex unknowingly uses her family's full-wizard wand to create an alternate reality in which her parents never met.

After consulting Jerry, who is unaware of his children or his wife's existence and who has his powers (having never had to give them up to marry Theresa), Justin and Alex set off to find the Stone of Dreams, which can reverse the spell. They are guided by a street magician and former wizard (who lost the full-wizard contest to his older brother) named Archie who wants to turn his girlfriend, Giselle, from a parrotMax, meanwhile, stays at the resort to keep his parents from "meeting" other people.

Along the way, Justin and Alex share deep conversation from the heart. Justin admits that he is jealous of Alex for being such a naturally good wizard, while Alex admits that she is jealous of Justin for being "perfect at everything." Justin believes that he is only good because he tries all the time, because he wants to become the full wizard, but has to keep up with Alex's natural progression. He also admits that he thinks that his family is only proud of him because he is a good wizard... Alex is quick to tell him that they love him and are proud of him anyway. The two also apologize to each other for all the trouble they give to one another. Jerry and Max start to go to help Alex and Justin but are stopped by Theresa who wishes to join them. They set off to help and arrive moments after Alex and Justin.

Eventually, they 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 it, 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 a vortex of non-existence. Theresa remembers him slightly and runs away from confusion and fear. Realizing they must work quickly, Jerry officiates the wizard contest for Justin and Alex. After an intense battle using elemental spells, Alex eventually wins and becomes a full wizard.

In trying to come up with a spell to fix everything, she turns to Justin for help. However, Justin has lost all his memory. Alex pleads with him not to leave, telling him that he is her big brother. Justin believes her, and wants to help, but he cannot and is sucked into the same vortex that Max was. Alex tries to cast a reversal spell, but Jerry tells her it may be too late.

Meanwhile Theresa was back at the resort, and seeing that the Giselle has returned to human form, with the Stone of Dreams hanging by her neck, tries to get it from her. Archie manages to get the stone from Giselle, who wished to leave him now that she was in human form. He turns her back into a parrot and gives the stone to Theresa. Theresa then wishes to be where Alex, Justin and Jerry are.

As all hope seems lost to Alex, Theresa shows up with the stone and Jerry tells Alex she can wish for her brothers to reappear and still keep her full wizard powers. Instead she wishes that everything would become the same as it had been...and it does. She and her brothers all remember what happened, but their parents don't. Everyone regardless becomes closer from the events that had occurred, as the kids remember what they went through, and as their parents notice a change in attitude. They happily walk off together.
