Review Responses:
scifi-warper- Thank god he's a good principal...right? Vaughn's turned into Victor...he's a complete recluse, I really want to play that up, because even if...and who are we kidding...he sees Josie again, he wont be the type of person to comfront her. Not anymore at least. Marshall are Corrine are so cute they make me gag. I was totally disqusted with the fluffiness in that scene, but I had to do it. With so much angst and drama, there had to be some happiness. The janitor works at the new Blake Holsey, and that's all Im at liberty to say right now, because otherwise I'd be spoiling some big things. And Lucas teaching...I always thought of him that way! I know it's sad about the conversation with Z and Josie. She's really lost right now, and even though she hasn't talked to Z that much, she feels he understands her more than anyone. I hope that came across well. Thank you so much for reading and leaving a great long review that I could sink my teeth into! Looking forward to your next Aw...I'm glad you're hooked! I needed to write a good fanfic to keep my mind off the fact that Blake Holsey was over! I will try my best to finish this! I've got big plans for it. I just have a few holes to mend in the story before I can finish it. A lot of it is written already. Thanks for the review!
Dreamhaven- Thanks! I've been trying really hard to stick to character. There's this scene later where most of them get together again for the first time in years, and it's just hillarious. I think I did Marshall, Vaughn, and Z perfectly in that scene...you'll just have to tell me when I post it. It's a ways away.
hrtbreaker- Sorry about the cliffy! I'll fix the problem as soon as I can...I just have to write a little more filler and a scene that's proving REALLY difficult for me. I don't know why, because I know what I want to be in it...but until then, thanks for reading!
Cali-beach-babe- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to leave you hanging:( But things are only going to get more interesting, I promise. Lucas does have to find the other Josie! They are so meant for eachother! As Josie is for Vaughn. But none of it will happen right away...
dragoneyes5000-Thanks! I really hope you stick with the story!

And here's something special for you guys!
A little preview of what's to come...

"I think we're all moody..."Vaughn said sourly, staring at the computer screen in front of him.

"Nope, that's just you..."Marshall responded, his arm around Corrine's shoulders.

"Oh excuse me if we're not all just like the happy couple!" Vaughn shot back, and downed his glass of scotch. Marshall rolled his eyes.

"Would you look at that...its just like water now, isn't it?"Marshall said, and Vaughn clenched his teeth,"When was the last time you dated someone more than a week?"

"Try and be a little more optomistic, boys..."Z said tiredly.

"Yeah, well lets take a look at the odds...shall we?" Vaughn said,"It took us a year to get her back! And now she doesn't talk to any one of us!"Marshall and Z shared a look,"She doesn't even know!"he added, pouring himself another glass. Corrine rolled her eyes. "Vaughn, stop..."he glared at her, and she shut up, leaning back against Marshall. Z just stared at the notes in front of him. His head felt like someone had dropped an anvil on it. It was going to be a long night.

And here is the chapter! Or interlude...if you will...

This was a bad idea. Borrowing her mothers car to think was a very bad idea. She hadn't thought of that before she ended up in front of the school. And here she was, holding onto any thought that just maybe she could find a way to go back and make things normal again. If that was even possible. She'd been sitting under one of the trees in the back for what seemed like days. The day had passed, night had fallen, and she couldn't move. And her phone had rang at least six times. Josie didn't understand why everyone wouldn't leave her alone. It was what she was used to now.

Things were so different. She couldn't get her head around that. Marshall and Corrine were leaving anytime now for Europe, she'd only halfheartedly listened to them excitedly tell her what they were going to do over the phone. Maybe they'd already left. She'd lost track of time. It was easy for her to do that now. They promised they'd call her again before they left, but they hadn't. She wasn't suprised. As for Lucas, well, he was a little too preoccupied with getting the other Josie back. And then there was Vaughn. She hadn't seen him since right after graduation. Which, to her, was expected. She had pulled away. And she wasn't completely sure of whether or not she'd end up regretting that fact in the future. It would never work. That played in her head a thousand times over. You don't trust him, he doesn't trust you. he betrayed you, but in a way you betrayed him. And yet you spent every secound you were trapped thinking of him...she groaned...trying to stop her internal dialouge. This was pointless.

Her phone rang, and she picked it up, staring at her mother's number on the caller id screen. She'd have to talk to her sooner or later. No matter how angry she was. She took a deep breath, and picked up the phone.

"Hello.."she said simply, her lips pressed together.

"Josie...you're going to have to talk to me sooner or later..."Kelly said in response.

"Sorry, I'm still mulling over the fact that you knew who my father was, never told me...and am the reason Vaughn and Victor never trusted me...in fact..."she continued, her voice rising,"It's practically your fault I was stranded in an alternate dimension for an entire year!"she laughed, tears filling her eyes,"Oh, gosh...wait...I'm sorry mom! Maybe that was daddy!"Josie said sarcastically.

"Josie don't make me the villan in this..."

"If you weren't my mother I wouldn't even be able to look at you without wanting to vomit..."Josie said venomously, tears sliding down her cheeks,"Now if you'll excuse me, mom...I like to mull alone...before you drag me away from the only friends and family I've ever known..."she was sobbing now, and hung up the phone, hugging her knees to her chest. She couldn't stop crying. Everytime she started it errupted into a tidal wave. But when she stopped crying, she'd just circle her thoughts back to how alone she was, despite the fact that she was finally home. She should've just given the other Josie the information and let her go back. At least Lucas would've been happier then. That fact made her cry harder.

So, I know its short. So...my life is a living hell right now...and I just don't have the heart to type the rest of this up right now. henceforth...I PROMISE I'll put the rest of this chapter up tomorrow after I work. I just found out I owe my sorority way too much money and probably have to quit. That coupled with the 200 dollar speeding ticket I just got, and the news that one of my friends from high school committed suicide has made me really sad. So reviews would be the most wonderful thing ever, even if this is mighty short.
