Disclaimer: If I owned BHH, it would have ended with Victor being bad muhhahahaha, VJ, MC, and Lucas being alone, 'cause I don't like him, as you'll soon find out. no offense to Lucas fans But, I may change my mind... So, as it is, don't own 'em.

Summary: Five years after Conclusions, the Science Club bumps into each other again. They were wrong about Victor...

It was an endless stretch of mist. But a person was standing in the distance. Marshall walked cautiously up to her, and realized that it was... Sarah Pearson! She was in that observer's outfit, and was younger than when he last saw her. Only in her twenties, in fact. "Who is that?" She called. "Marshall Wheeler," He said hesitantly. A look of knowing entered her ice blue eyes. "Ah. Marshall; the traitor." He paled. "What do you mean?" She looked him right in the eye. "I've been to the future, Marshall. That is what you are known as to all of those poor people. You, who gave information to the overlord, so that he could defeat the Ones. You were supposed to be one of Them." "Where are we?" He asked suddenly. "Trapped. In the Fourth Dimension. Trapped in time. You do not age here, or eat, or sleep. The only contact is from people who travel here. And it is impossible to get out unless you have the Key. That belongs to Him. And we will never be able to get it back." "What do you mean?" Marshall muttered. "I mean," Sarah whispered, "That we will be trapped here for all of eternity."

The janitor walked through the Corridor, the Clone close behind him. "This is worse than last time!" She was practically screeching. He turned to her. "Well, we already learbed that your meddling gets us nowhere." "It saved us!" She cried, "All of us! If Josie Trent hadn't been rescued-" "Then the Ones would have to be abandoned, we would take matters into our own hands." It was obvious that the janitor was hiding something. "Wait." It dawned on the Clone. "I know what could have stopped all of this. If you had let me stop her from getting trapped in that alternate dimension in the first place, then all of it would be different." The janitor looked down. "Shall we take a look?"

"I don't get this," PVaughn said for the millionth time. Josie gave him a summary of the story again. "You know," Corrine sighed, "We'll have to erase this from your minds. Somehow. We know not to meddle with the past." PJosie stared at her counterpart. "This is so stupid." Josie smiled as she looked at her younger self. "Maybe, maybe not." Lucas shook his head. "I have no idea why they broke up, either." Everyone stared. Josie's jaw hung open. 'B-but- bu- WHAT THE HECK!" Lucas shrugged. "All I want is for you to be happy. And you're obviously happier with Vaughn. Even now. Duh." Vaughn and Josie both blushed furiously. "Uh, thanks for settling this feud," Vaughn muttered. "Hey," Corrine said, breaking up the silence. "Shouldn't Marshall be back by now?" Everyone knew about his disappearence. "Well, normally, yes," Josie finally answered, "I mean, it's very unlikely that he'd be stuck in an alternate reality. The odds of that happening again are very slim." Realizing what she just said, everyone headed to the office.

Josie quietly stirred her coffee. Everyone had finally agreed that the search for Marshall would have to be put off till tomorrow. PJosie and Vaughn had promised to let things go the way they were supposed to, and were sucked back into the vortex. All Corrine did was stare out the window. She's obviously still in love with him, and vice versa, Josie thought to herself. I bet that if they had tol each other, then that would have made a difference. But then a little teasing voice came. Speak for yourself, Josie. She blushed profusely. Bad voice, bad voice! A knock on the door. Josie walked over and opened it. Aaron. Of course. "Hi, Joze," He smiled, giving her a peck on the lips. "We need to make wedding plans." "Speaking of the wedding," Josie laughed nervously, "I've had a change of plans for my maid of honor." A look of worry crossed is face. "Who?" Josie walked over to Corrine, gave her a 'so sorry,' glance, and dragged her over to Corrine. "Corrine, Aaron, Aaron, Corrine. Corrine was my best friend in high school." "But Ashley is my cousin!" Aaron anunciated carefully. Josie glared at him. "Too bad. I am the bride. Not you. Though you have been acting like one lately." Corrine looked at both of them. "I'm gonna go get some cookie dough," She said glumly, hobbling out the door. "Look what you've done!" Josie snapped. She and Aaron argued for a while, just standing at the door, when an uncomfortable, "What's up?" came. It was Lucas and Vaughn. "Oh, old high school flames?" Aaron nearly yelled. Josie squirmed, for this was pretty much the truth. "More or less." Aaron's face turned purple. He wasn't open-minded enough to think that he may be right. "Oh," He said, looking at Vaughn, "It's you." Josie's ex groaned. "This is so stupid." Lucas sighed. "Tell me about it," Josie muttered under her breath. "Let's just make wedding plans," Aaron sighed, striding into the room. "By the way," Josie added, walking in with Vaughn and Lucas trailing after her. "I've invited Vaughn and Lucas to the wedding. Oh, and Marshall." If we can find him, she thought. "Who's Marshall?" Aaron growled. "He's Corrine's ex," Lucas put in for Josie, who looked ready to burst. "What do we have to plan, anyways?" Josie asked, sitting down, Lucas and Vaughn sitting protectively on either side of her, in case Aaron went psycho, like in all the movies. Aaron began to mumble under his breath. Josie distinctly heard the word, 'cheating', which made her clench her fists into tight balls. They discussed the wedding (which is so boring, Josie herself asked that it was not put on here), and when they finally stopped, Josie gave a sigh of relief. "Thank God." Giving Vaughn and Lucas the, 'I'm watching you' sign, Aaron drove off. "How can you stand him!" Lucas groaned. Josie shrugged. "We've been dating for the past three years. He proposed five months ago." Vaughn began to mentally count to ten to calm himself down (A/N: Vaughn's thoughts bold italics, Josie's italics, Lucas's bold). Suck it up, Vaughn. Tell her you love her. No way! Those two are such idiots. Even after I give up my Josie quest, they still won't get together. You soo love him. Do not! So, that's how the time went by for a while, until Corrine walked in to find them all looking like they were possesed. "Well. That's creepy."

Marshall was sitting, talking to Sarah. He now knew all her secrets. Her horrid past. That's when a familiar voice called out. "Marshall..."
