A boy named Mason transfered from England and he and Alex start to date. He is perfect in every way with the exception of his view of art, which is dogs and parts of American history. Alex tries to make him more American, by throwing water balloons at people (being rude) and laughing in appreciation (making fun of [[Mr. Laritate]] and [[Harper]]'s clothes). In order to make him a better artist, Alex takes matters into her own hands by putting a spell on Mason to make her his new artistic inspiration.
