"You Made Me Love You"
Chapter 3
Monday February 13
After science class that morning, Josie, Vaughn, Corrine, Lucas, and Marshall just sat in thier seats looking like their dogs had just died.
"Cheer up, the Valentine's Day dance is tomorrow," said Professor Z with a smile on his face. He was annoyingly chipper.
"How can we, that stupid machine has ruined our lives," said Lucas.
"Maybe lies have. Okay, what do we know so far?" replied Professor Z, trying to be optimistic.
"The machine has made some of our weird dreams come true," said Josie.
"Why did we have those dreams in the first place," asked Corrine with a confused look on her face.
"Well, some believe that our dreams tell us our desires. hopes, and fears. They are a window to our subconscience, a portal to feelings we don't want to admit or are afraid to admit," said Professor Z.
"So how does kissing the person from our dreams reverse the machines effects," asked Lucas.
"The machine has nothing to do with it!" shouted Marshall to everyone's surprise.
"Do you have someting you want to explain to us, Marshall, asked Professor Z with concern.
"I just mean we had these dreams before the machine blew up; therefore the machine didn't cause these feelings. They developed on their own and our dreams just revealed them. There is no supernatural reason for our feelings, or the dreams, or the machine blowing up. We're using my machine to cover up how we really feel because, let's admit it, our true feelings scare us." Marshall then let out a deep breath. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"So how can we get things back to normal?" asked Josie.
"What if the feelings we are all feeling are normal," relpied Marshall.
"Me liking Z, that's normal?" asked Josie.
"Well, yeah," was Marshall's only response.
"It makes sense, he's your mentor, you tell him things you don't tell anyone else, not even your roommate. You guys are really close." said Lucas.
"But I don't have romantic feelings for Z," said Josie.
"Then why the dreams, why the kiss, Josie," asked Vaughn.
"I have an idea. Maybe if we hook the two people up to the machine, the feelings will cease to exist." said Corrine.
"I don't think that will work, the machine is fried," said Marshall.
"No it isn't, I was fiddling with it last night, and I think I fixed it." said Professor Z.
"It's worth a try," said Corrine.
"One problem, said Lucas. "We'd have to admit who we dreamed about."
"So?", asked Josie.
"Maybe it's nobody's business who we dreamed about,"
"You scared to admit your true feelings, Lucas?"
"No that's not it,"
"Yeah right"
"Ok, well we don't have to do it in front of everyone," said Corrine trying to break up Josie and Lucas's little argument.
"We can go to each other privately, and go to the machine without the others knowing, Agreed?"
They all nodded their heads. "Agreed," they all said at once.
Later that day Marshall and Lucas were at thier desks in their room studying for the math test the next day.
"Lucas?"
"Yeah Marshall?"
"I have something important to tell you. It's also kind of embarrassing," Marshall said nervously biting his lip.
"What, you can tell me," Lucas said. He took a deep breath and stared down at his desk, equally nervous.
Marshall stared down at his notebook, his hands were sweaty and shaking. He struggled to find the right words. After a long silence he finally spoke.
"This is really hard for me to say. Lucas, I've been dreaming about you," he took a deep breath.
Lucas' mind was racing for a response.
"Really, I thought you liked Corrine, wow"
"Yeah, I thought so too, weird huh?"
"You know what's even weirder, I've been dreaming about you too. Well not just you, but me and you together," Lucas said slowly forcing the words out.
"So what do we do now?" asked Lucas.
"We can hook each other up to the machine and our feelings will hopefully dissipate," Marshall said.
"What are we waiting for?" said Lucas.
They both got up quickly and walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Vaughn was looking through a car magazine in his door room when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Corrine"
Vaughn got up from his bed, and opened his door.
"I guess you know why I'm here"
"Yeah you wanna go to the machine."
"Yeah"
"Alright, Let's go!"
They both walked out of his room, Corrine first. She purposefully slowed down in the hall and he brushed past her. When they got to the top of the stairs, Vaughn was in front. She couldn't help but look down at his butt, it wouldn't be the first time. Not bad, she thought.
When they got down to the first floor, after two flights of glorious butt watching, they noticed Marshall and Lucas about to go into the science room.
"Hey, what are you two doin here?" asked Corrine.
"We just need to ask Professor Z about a project we're doing." said Marshall. Corrine didn't believe him.
Lucas quickly opened the door. They all walked in and found Josie and Professor Z sitting next to each other.
"Not to worry, it works. We hooked each other up and now nothing," said Z.
"Great, Corrine let's do it!" said Vaughn anxiously.
Music to Corrines' ears, then she realized what he really meant.
They walked to the back of the room, She held one strap, he held the other, She flipped the switch and gave him a fake smile. They each felt a little zap, then let go.
"Do you feel anything," Vaughn asked.
"Nope, nothing at all." She found it hard to get the words out.
"That's a relief," he walked away smiling. She followed him, not smiling. They both walked out of the room and went to their rooms.
"I'm gonna go study for that test," Josie said awkwardly. She wanted to check on Corrine. She could see she was completely crushed.
"I'm gonna go finish this month's issue of "Science Today," said Professor Z as he left.
Lucas and Marshall walked to the back of the room. They hooked themselves up. The machine zapped them.
"Wow, I feel nothing."
"Yeah, me too. Back to liking Josie," said Lucas.
Neither believed the other as they walked out of the room and went their seperate ways.
Lucas went to the rec room to watch a movie. He just stared at the foosball table wishing Marshall was there to play with him.
Marshall went to his room, layed on his bed, and wished Lucas was there to spew his latest conspiracy theories.
A/N: Please review. Sorry to all the L/J and C/M shippers. I know no one likes Marshall and Lucas together, but hey it's my fanfic. I think this pairing is more interesting then Marshall and Corrine. Last chapter coming up, the big Valentine's Day dance. Who will end up together? Will the truth come out about Marshall and Lucas? Stay tuned.
