Disclaimer: I do not own this series (No Duh!) So no suing please...
Author notes: I actually posted this on Fanfiction.net, but since I had to put it in TV Crossovers (cause they have no BHH category, who knows why?) it doesn't really get read...so you guys can help and tell what you think of it.
Warnings/Ratings: this is PG-13...and when I say that I mean it has some teenaged angst...cause they are teenagers so they do (or should) go through it (since the rest of us had to)...

Josie Trent did not know what was going on with the weather. Yesterday was a breezy 75 degrees, she should know her and the Science Club were working on Meteorology outside! But today, today she woke up with her hair wet from sweat, her clothes sticky from the balminess and a strange urge to do something, but she had no idea what.
Strange...she uses that word a lot in her school. The school is on a large VORTEX for goodness sake. Every time she thought she was close to solving the mystery, her answers brought her more questions.
She went to her mirror and noticed her eyes were still puffy. She hated it so much, "I feel like such a girl." She spent the night sniffling and holding back tears. Her and Vaughn hadn't spoken in weeks; he wouldn't even look at her, and it was driving her crazy. She felt like she was losing a best friend, and frankly she was, and not just one of them. Lucas was acting no better.
Lucas kept their conversations to a minimum. At least he was speaking to her, which is more than she could say for someone else, but he would talk about school and school ALONE. She hated it ALL. She hated the fact that Lucas' feelings for her changed, and she REALLY hated the fact that she was...was...was...FINE!!!?the first step to recovery is admittance, right?...she was in looo...
'knock, knock, knock'
"MORNING JOSIE!!! I?m going down for some coffee, you want?!!" Corrine yelled from the other side of the door.
"Um...yeah...YEAH! Let me get one, and something to munch on please!" she splashed some water on her face and yelped at how cold it was. 'Geez, what happened to the hot water?'
"Okay Jos, meet you downstairs!" Josie looked at herself again and decided she looked acceptable enough to start her day, if any one asked her about her eyes she could just say she had trouble sleeping, which was the truth (maybe not the whole truth, but they didn?t have to know that).
****
She entered the science lab to find her Professor boiling something on his Bunsen burner. "Professor Z, don?t get me wrong I love your experiments, but its 100 degrees outside...Isn't there anything you can do that requires...well...less heat!!"
"Morning to you to Josie." He replied as he pulled up his goggles. "I would do something else, but we are in the middle of a power outage. Haven't you noticed?"
"Z, It's 7 in the morning, on a Saturday...I think we should be all grateful if I know who I am...but that does explain why my air conditioner didn't turn on and why there was no hot water." She let out a yawn as her roommate entered and put a cup of coffee and bread in front of her. "Thanks Corrine."
"Sure, they were practically throwing food at me. They said they had to get rid of all of it before it goes bad. Morning Z!" she placed a coffee on his table and left the others she brought on her table.
"Morning Corrine. Where are the guys?" He asked as he drank his coffee.
"You called?" Lucas exclaimed as the last three members of the science club entered.
"Yeah sorry we're late, it's my fault, the guys had to come wake me...my alarm never went off." Vaughn said as he stretched and moved to stand near Marshall around the table. He had been spending more time with them, 'GUYS!' Josie had been peeved about their new male bonding stuff. Really she'd think they would be mad at each other as well as her, but NO, they have testosterone so THEY can all forgive each other, 'BOYS!!!'
"Well as long as everyone's here, let's get started. Now the reason I wanted you up this early is so you could get some samples. I need you all to go to the ravine, where Vaughn and Josie had there little adventure a few months ago." the two looked at each other and blushed a bit at the memory.
'God I miss her,' was Vaughn's thought as he watched Josie as she paid attention to Professor Z who was explaining what he needed from them. He had spent the last three weeks doing everything in his power to stay away from her. He didn't know what to do. He knew he was wrong for lying to her after he had promised that they would never keep anything from each other. But what if his father was right? What if she was using him to solve the mystery of the school? He was opening his heart to her, something he hasn't done since his mom, and if she was using him...he didn't want to think about it.
But something just kept drawing him to her, especially today, something was making him want to go over there, grab her and...he squeezed his eye shut and tried to control his breathing in an attempt to get control over whatever was happening to them.
"Since Josie and Vaughn know how to get there I want them to lead..." as the Professor continued Lucas got stuck in his own thoughts, 'Josie and Vaughn, Vaughn and Josie, if I don't ever hear that sequence of names again it will too soon.' Lucas glared at his thoughts, but then halted, not knowing where that surge of anger came from.
"Now you all need to start by..." as their Professor started with his instructions Marshall turned to massage his neck when he noticed something. Corrine was opening up her blouse two buttons. She wasn't paying close attention to what she was doing, or she might have noticed that she opened it enough for him to see right down her blouse, 'she wears a Lace...Wow...' his thought trail was cut off when she leaned in to write something and it obstructed his view. He shook his head and squeezed his eye trying to figure why he was just ogling his friend.
"Okay you guys have your assignments, I got permission from Durst, but under the condition that YOU DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT go after the lab. Is that clear?" he looked at each who nodded there heads, but kept his eye on Josie who gave a conceding nod. He walked out explaining they had to all be back before sunset and to be careful.
"Okay guys, now I already set up the supplies you need. I suggest you get some food from downstairs and lots of water. I have to go out of town tonight, but I should be back in the morning. We'll go over your samples then. Oh, and before I forget I should have a surprise for you guys." They smiled at him as he waltzed out the room.
"Well of course we'll be back before then, Corrine's got a date that she just CAN'T miss." Josie said with lighted sarcasm. Corrine glared at her while Marshall became very awake all of a sudden, "A Date?! With who?!"
"Ok, first it's not a date. Second, none of you know him, he's an old friend and he's visiting his aunt, and she lives close so he wanted to come see me." She said matter-of-factly, not noticing the look Marshall was giving her. 'I don't think she wears LACE for all her friends'. He shook his head his head violently and gained everyone's attention.
Marshall panicked and replied to their looks, "Okay...I think we NEED to get started."
