If I Die Before I Wake

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for a few characters I may invent. I own Ally and the plot, and that's it for now.

Summary: Lily is depressed and having problems at home. Ally, her best friend, wrote her letters all summer and she had replied in a un-Lily type voice. Ally, Sirius, Remus, and a certain James Potter, who are all worried about her, decide to take a visit to her house when they discover something not right. Will be Lily/James, is Ally/Sirius, now it's Carmen/James, Lily/Alex, and Roxie/Remus. I'm sorry you inform all of you, but peter died during OWL's, so terribly sorry that he won't be here with us. Oh yeah! And you know how Sirius, James, and Remus are Padfoot, Prongs, and Moony? Well. Lily is Flower, Ally is Skittles or Vixen, and Merit is Snow. I want to thank DarkestMaeve for help with this chappie and story!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Are you ok, Lils," Ally, her best friend, asked.

"Yeah, Ally, just kind of not ready to go home," Lily sighed.

"Hey, Prongs, Padfoot, Moony! What's up, guys," Ally asked in a hyper tone.

"Hello, Sister, dearest how are you," Remus said as he kissed her cheek.

"Sweet Sister Tempest! What a surprise! Lily, dearest, are you ok?" James boomed as he kissed Lily's right cheek, and Ally's left.

"Oh yeah, fine James," she said distantly. Sirius just walked into the compartment. "ALLY!!!!!!!" Sirius yelled so loud all of the compartments on their part of the train shook.

"SIRI!!!!!!!!" Ally screamed as though in pain.

She leaped up and jumped into his arms. He was tall and had a lot of muscle mass for his wild age of 15. His 6'3" figure was taunting compared to her 5'5", and unfortunately for her he was still growing. Sirius set her down and looked around the compartment. "Lily, sis, you ok," he asked sincerely.

"Oh, fine, big brother just fine," she said even more distantly than before. Lily sighed again. She was a pretty girl, about 5'6", a very thin figure, with dark red hair and normally sparkling emerald green eyes, but there was something about going home was troubling her.

(A/n: Sirius had evil older brothers and always wanted a sister, and Lily had an evil older sister who always had her nose waaaaaaaay too far up her @$$, and into other people business as well. So, Sirius and Lily are 'brother' and 'sister', for each of their best interests.)

Ally and Sirius started snogging very deeply.

"Oh, god, Padfoot, get another compartment or a room, please," James said with a laugh.

"Please, don't snog my sister in my view, Padfoot," Remus said also laughing.

"Sorry, Prongs, Moony, Lily," he said as he blushed.

"That's it! SIRIUS DAVID ASHER BLACK! WE'RE LEAVING! " Ally yelled.

"DAMN! ALLY MEAGHAN FIONA VIOLET LUPIN! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A TEMPER! AND WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO SNOG MY BEST FRIEND IN THE HALLWAY! JUST SO EVERYONE CAN SEE HOW MUCH IN LOVE YOU TWO REALLY ARE! MAYBE SIRIUS WILL EVEN GIVE YOU, SE." Remus screamed at his sister.

"REMUS ANDREW ROMELIUS DANIEL LUPIN! DON'T YOU DARE YELL AT MY GIRLFRIEND AND YOUR SISTER LIKE THAT!" Sirius yelled back.

"DON'T YOU DARE YELL AT MY BEST FRIEND!" Lily screeched.

"Just stop! All of you stop, please!" Ally started to cry.

"Ally, I'm sorry I made a scene. I love you, sissy!" Remus looked really hurt.

He hadn't made his sister cry like that in. in. well he hadn't ever. They were practically inseparable and twins for that matter. Remus had short caramel blonde hair, sparkly cerulean blue eyes, massive upper body strength, was about 6'5" in height, and Ally had waist-length caramel blonde hair with red tips, which were fading, pearly pink lips, a thin waist, some upper body strength for playing Quidditch, and deep pools of cerulean for eyes, that were blood red at the moment.

"Remmie, it's hug time," she looked at him with tears streaming down her face.

"Hug time, Ally," he said with the pang of guilt still eating away at his heart.

They hugged and made up.

"Padfoot, if you really want to snog my sister in public, well it's just up to you, don't do it all the time, ok? And not in front of me, either," Remus said although disgusted with himself for hurting her, and letting one of his best friends snog his baby sister.

"Yeah, ok Moony, I got it," Sirius said in his exceptionally hyper tone. He leaned in for another long snog with Ally, which was deeper than before and had a bit of tongue in it.

Lily looked over at her best friend and her 'brother'.

"How can they be so happy, while I'm over here depressed. Oh, well. Maybe I should finally get the courage to ask James about what he thinks of me," Lily thought.

"I wonder if Lily likes me, I've always liked her, since 1st year, but it seems she can't since she thinks all those other girls meant something, I should gather up that golden Gryffindor courage and use it," James thought. "But I'm going out with Car, damn it! Lily is the only one I want! She isn't seductive or a bitch like Car, I can't seem to break her heart though, she can be so sweet sometimes. She thinks I slept with all those girls, and thinks that I'm a sex machine! Giving out free rides on the J train, she'll never go out with me!"

"Hey Jamsie! Oh my god! I'm so0o0o0o0o0o glad I found you, Lucius Malfoy was hitting on me again!" Carmen whined.

"Oh Remmie, dearest! Serverus Snape was hitting on me too! I missed you so0o0o0o00000o0o much! " Roxie complained.

"Rox, it's been an hour, since we left Hogsemeade. Can't you and Carmen go hang with your Ravenclaw friends?" Remus said sympathetically.

"But, we waaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaa hang out with yo0o0o0o0o0o0o00ou! So Sevie and Luci won't hit on us!" Roxie and Jessica whimpered.

"I'm kind of busy here, Car, go hang with Sam and Vanessa, we'll be there shortly," James said smugly. Roxie and Carmen finally left their compartment.

"Oh god, James! You promised them we'd go? I mean I love Rox to death, they can just get so annoying," Remus said unenthusiastically.

"Well, maybe it's time for Remmie-Wimmie to get a new girl friend," Sirius and Ally teased, "Maybe Jamsie-Wamsie should get a new one, too." "Like Lily and maybe Merit, for you guys? Lily, how would you like to go out with Prongsie?" Sirius asked his 'sister.'

"I don't think I'm ready for a guy with 'our dear' Prongsie's expertise," Lily said curtly. "Yeah, and besides James hates me anyway."

"And Alex would like it," James said showing no emotion what so ever. "And I HAVE NOT DEFLOWERED CARMEN, OR ANY OF THE OTHER GIRLS!!!!!!!! I plan to keep it that way until I'm married or I find a girl I truly love enough, and she feels the same. AND I DON'T HATE YOU, LILS! I LO. "

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" the kind, young witch named Melees asked.

"I'd like the color changing skittles and some Bertie Botts Every Flavored beans please," Ally interrupted James. "Oo0o0o00o0h Siri! Can I borrow two galleons pleaaaaaaaasssse?"

"Yes, but only because I love you s0o0o00o0o0 much! And I would like some chocolate frogs, please," Sirius said sweetly.

"4 galleons, please," Melees said.

"Anything for you, Lils?" James asked the love of his life.

"Just the skittles and an everlasting sucker, please. Is that ok, James?"

"Yes, Lillikins, it's fine, anything else?" He smiled his award-winning smile with his pearly white teeth.

"No thanks, James, what if Carmen finds out?" Lily asked nervously.

"What if Carmen finds out what, Jamsie?" Carmen said suspiciously as she entered the compartment a second time.

"Nothing, Car, just go back to Roxie and I'll be there soon with Remus, ok loviekins?" James said 'sincerely'.

"I would like those skittles, an everlasting sucker, some chocolate frogs, and the beans, please," James said.

"8 galleons, Mr. Potter, please," Melees sweetly said.

"Thanks, James, I owe you," Lily smiled for what seemed to one of her first real smiles in days.

"Don't bother, Lils, I mean after all Muggle sweets can't be as good as these, right? And you'll be stuck in the Muggle world for at least a month before you come visit us all at Ally and Remus's house. Don't worry Remus. Car and Rox can't come, because they have to go to Cancun, that muggle place, to work on their 'tans'," James informed them.

"Oh! Thanks be to God," Lily said under her breath.

"What was that, Lils?" Remus asked.

"Nothing, aren't you two supposed to be seeing Roxie and Carmen now anyway," Lily countered.

"Oh, thanks for reminding us, Lils," James and Remus said glumly.

So, James and Remus got up to see their girlfriends, in the compartment farthest from their own. Sirius and Ally were the only two left in the compartment, besides Lily.

"Padfoot, Skittles," Lily started weakly.

"Yes, Flower," they answered.

"What would you say if I said I think I'm in love with James," she continued just as weakly.

"We'd say that's great, because Prongs likes you too," they said solemnly.

"Well, I think I'm in love with James," she smiled as she cried.

"Lily, it's fine, Prongs is probably breaking up with Carmen any minute now, because she's a crazy, psychopathic bitch and all she wants is money and sex, like one of those muggle strippers," Sirius said in a soft, soothing older brother type voice.

"Really? Does he really like me," Lily asked as her eyes lit up for the first time in weeks.

"Yes, Lils, he does. He always has, and he always will," Ally murmured softly. "Since the first day he laid eyes on you, Lils. You have to trust us."

"What about Alex, though," Lily said as tears streamed down her face once more.

"What about Alex," Alex said as he entered the compartment. "What the hell did you do to her, Black? She never cries like this. What the HELL did you do!?"

"I did absolutely nothing, Veda. I would never make my sister cry, you prat," Sirius said sharply.

"Sirius did nothing, and if you pick a fight with him, you picking a fight with the wrong Lupin, buddy," Ally growled.

"Having your girlfriend fight for you, Black? You're such a wimp," Alex mocked.

"That does it," Ally said through clenched teeth.

She stood up, her height being only to his shoulder, but she made a fist and punched him in the nose.

"HOLY FUCK! LUPIN! THAT HURT LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER!" he yelped through his hands that were trying to stop the blood flow from his nose.

"Well, try this, Jackass!"

She kicked him in the balls.

"Any better, Veda?" she asked menacingly.

"Oh yeah, much," he groaned.

"Shall I continue?" Ally taunted.

"Oh god, please no," he whined.

James and Remus entered the compartment after visiting Carmen and Roxie for 10 minutes.

"Oh my god! Ally! What the hell did you do to the poor boy," Remus and James questioned her.

"Define poor boy," Lily interjected.

"HIM!" Remus screamed.

"He was ridiculing, Sirius. What was I suppose to do," Ally stuttered.

"Oh, I'm fine, in massive pain, but fine," Alex yelped.

"I'm glad, you took those classes on self-defense, Skitz. What would we do without you," Remus laughed.

James started howling with laughter.

"So, how are Roxie and Carmen," Sirius asked, looking at Lily for a moment, then turning to Prongs and Moony.

"Oh, Roxie's fine, but Car isn't," Moony answered.

"Oh, how so," Ally and Lily asked together.

"I broke up with her. I realized I loved somebody more. I wanted to be with that person more than I wanted to be with Carmen," James said softly. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

(A/n: Sorry for the cliffie! Well. thanks so0o000 much DarkestMaeve. Thanks for the ideas! I'm glad you picked Marauder time because it seems to work better than Harry's time.

Sirius and Ally have been together since 3rd year, so that makes it about 3 years they have been together. James was with Carmen for 6 months, and Remus has been with Roxie since the Autumn Ball 5th year, so 9 months. I know nobody really cares how long they have been/were together, it's just for my personal records, and for anyone else who cares. 7 pages in Word so if you want shorter or longer let me know. ~*Luv alwayz*~ Skittles a.k.a. Ally P.s. I put in spaces Trina and I edited that stuff. Plz tell me what you think! I'm dying to know! Think of it as a b-day present for me! A belated but good one! Plz!!! R/R.)
