Chapter 5

Corrine came back to her room late that night. After her little make-out session with M/Marshall she had taken a long walk to figure out how the original Marshall would react if he found out about her and M/Marshall . Would he still ask her to the ball? Would he avoid her because he finds it weird to think of another version of him and her kissing? Did he even like her in the first place?. She came to the conclusion that the sooner M/Marshall was gone, the better. Josie was fortunately asleep when she finally got in; she was glad that she didn't have to be questioned on her whereabouts all evening until the morning.

xXxXx

The next morning Marshall woke up finding himself still in his clothes and on top of his covers on his bed. He had fallen asleep early waiting for M/Marshall to come back from talking to Corrine. He looked over to see Lucas asleep in his bed and M/Marshall camped out in a sleeping bag and mattress on the floor.

'Damn' he thought. 'It wasn't just a bad dream.' Then he realized it was after 8 and they should be getting ready for class. "Lucas, Mirror boy! time to get up".

"What are we going to do with him?" Lucas asked Marshall once they were dressed

"He can't just hang around in here all day" Lucas continued

"Well he's going to have to" Marshall said harshly as he grabbed his bag and headed out the door.

xXxXx

"Marshall!" Josie called as she left her classroom after the beginning of lunch bell rang.

"Hey Josie" Marshall said gloomily

"Why the long face I thought you'd be pretty happy after last night" Josie smirked

"What happened last night?" Marshall asked confused

"Don't play dumb I saw you" Josie said in a singsong voice.

"Doing what?" Now Marshall was really confused

"Do I have to spell it out"

"Apparently"

"Last night, you and Corrine, outside playing a round of tonsil hockey" Josie teased

"Wha…" Marshall started, and then it hit him. He turned around and ran down the hallway with a look of serious anger on his face.

Josie stood there surprised. She hadn't spoken to Corrine all day. She had a slight feeling she was avoiding her. 'Strange' she thought. 'Why would he try to cover it up?' and then it hit her. "Oh no" she thought aloud. Because there just so happened to be 2 Marshall Wheelers in the world right now and she had a feeling she had just teased the wrong one.

xXxXx

"Corrine!" Marshall yelled up the stairs at his friend who was just opening the door to her room. He ran up the stairs, skipping every second one.

"Yeah" Corrine said not looking him in the eye.

"When were you planning on telling me that you're in a relationship with me in another universe?" he said angrily.

"Oh no" Corrine gasped and went inside, followed by a very distraught Marshall.

"How did you find out?" Corrine said quietly, still avoiding eye contact.

"Josie saw you guys making out last night. She mistook him for me" he said annoyed

Everything Corrine had feared that morning had come true. 'Now he hates me' she thought.

"Listen" she started "that time I went through the mirror we…kind of had a…thing" she struggled to find the right word. Marshall scoffed and looked annoyed.

"What so the Marshall Wheeler you know isn't good enough for you?" he asked

"NO!" Corrine screamed and started to whimper, "the only reason I like him is because he is YOU!" she cried and then turned away and said in a quiet voice "or at least the closest thing that I'm ever going to get".

Marshall was silent. He lost all his anger and smiled. He walked over to Corrine and put his arms around her.

"He may have different ways of expressing himself than me, but we obviously feel the same way about you" he whispered ear. Then he kissed her.

Corrine then realized that kissing the Marshall that she knew brought her a new kind of feeling than the other Marshall did. In that moment, all the doubts, all the worries that she had in her mind suddenly vanished and she knew that Saturday night was going to be the best night of her life.

Z had called an emergency science club meeting at lunchtime. Lucas, Vaughn, Josie and M/Marshall were all in his office talking when Marshall and Corrine walked in hand in hand. Josie and Lucas clapped while Vaughn whistled and Z beamed at them. M/Marshall stood there nodding and then smiled.

"I think I just found the reason I was sent here" he said

Corrine smiled at him. "How are you going to get back?" she asked

"Same way I got here I guess" he said and nodded towards the science office floor.

Corrine let go of Marshall's hand and hugged M/Marshall. Then the real Marshall shook hands with his double and stepped back.

Then M/Marshall turned to Josie "You know what's strange, in my world you're going out with Lucas, not Vaughn" and then in a flash of light, he was gone.

A/N- Ok I know I said it would be a week but I suddenly got the urge to write so I hope you like it coz I'm quite proud of this chapter. The next ones the actually ball so it'll be back to Josie and Lucas and not much more of Corrine and Marshall. Plz review!
