A/N: it means a lot to me that people are taking the time to not only read my story, but review it too. Most of the reviews have been pleasant, so I thank you all for your encouragement. Just so you know, I don't fancy writing Mirror... every time I have the mirror characters talk, so I will be writing it M. ... if I explained it poorly, just start reading and you should pick it up easily. OK, enough of my drabble, on with the show, er, story!

Disclaimer: still don't own.

Ch. 4: The Fight

"What? I was only gone for ten minutes," M. Marshall said in shocked disbelief.

"We were in the green room, looking for some blankets for you all, since you might need them, and we were talking and all of a sudden he stops talking and I look back and I see him literally flicker and then he was gone. Just like that. Poof," M. Lucas explained.

"Just like that? Once second talking and totally there, then the next just gone?" Josie asked.

"Yeah. It was really weird," M. Lucas added.

"Ok. What about Josie? Did anyone see her disappear?" Vaughn asked.

"Yeah, Vaughn did," M. Z responded reluctantly.

"What about the other students, or the teachers. Have you noticed anyone else disappearing?" Josie asked.

"We can't tell. It's a holiday weekend. People have gone home to be with their families. We haven't been able to tell if they are gone visiting family, or just gone," M. Z said.

"Ok, that has to be the first thing we need to find out. We need to split into groups and figure that out. Principal Durst should have extra keys to all the rooms in her office, lets start there," Z ordered.

After getting the keys, they all split up into groups. Since they hadn't seen anyone else Z thought it was ok if both Marshalls went with Corrine, M. Lucas went with Josie and Z and the remaining three were a group by default. Once in groups Z gave them all some last minute instructions. "We need to look for signs that they left suddenly. No clothes missing, all personal effects present, half packed bags open on beds. We can have any remaining people wait for us in the theatre. The two Marshalls and Corrine can wait there. My group will take the boys dorms, and my counterpart and his group will take the girls dorms. We make a pact right now, we don't leave people from this reality alone. Not even for a minute. If we have to split up further, we regroup first. Meet back here in a half hour. Just find what you need as proof and get out. If you run into trouble come back to the theater immediately. Are we all clear? Good, see you all in a half hour," Z finished.

After a couple minutes of awkward silence, Corrine decided to make an attempt st conversation. She felt a little out of place. Last time she was here they were happy, they weren't worried about disappearing. "So, how long ago did Josie disappear?" was all Corrine could think of saying.

"She disappeared yesterday afternoon, and we've been trying to find a way to get her back ever since. I don't think I slept last night," M. Marshall commented off handedly.

"You really miss them, don't you?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I know if there's anyone who can get them back it's you," he flirted with her.

"So, how do you get your hair to do that funny thing it does?" Marshall asked.

"A little gel and some mousse. On days when it really doesn't behave I throw in a little hair spray as well," M. Marshall responded.

"Cool," Marshall replied.

"So, you and Corrine are together, right?" M. Marshall asked.

"No, were just friends. She could never like me like that," Marshall replied.

"Oh, I get it. She didn't tell you, did she?" M. Marshall asked.

"Tell me what?" Marshall turned on Corrine. She mumbled something at her feet. "What?" he asked, getting mad.

"I kissed him," she repeated louder.

"And you didn't think you should tell me? How do you think that makes me feel. I'm not good enough for you, but some phony imposter is?" he asked in a very hurt sounding voice.

"Like you ever gave me signs that you felt anything for me? I thought the reason that he liked me was only because he was the exact opposite of you," she spat back.

"I don't have to sit here and listen to this," he ground out and turned on his heel and walked out, leaving Corrine to stare dumbfounded and heartbroken after him.

A/N: Next chapter will be happier, I promise. Read and review and it will be up soon.
