a/n: So this could be counted as a sequel to Caught, it has alot of the same characters from the last one. I'll try to dedicate enough time to update quickly, but I've never been engaged (Or asked unless by a 7 yr old counts) so I'm making it all up as I go along. :D Enjoy.
Chapter 1: I want to marry Lily Evans
James bolted into the club where he was meeting his friends. The fellow, now graduated, Marauders. He found them playing billiards with Sirius entertaining a very breasty, but beautiful girl.
"Guys!" James shouted running over to them.
"James, my good man!" Sirius greeted him. "Have you meet Rebeka?"
"No. Hi." James said quickly.
"What's up?" Remus asked.
"It's time." James said.
"I agree. Keep!" Sirius called to the bar keeper indicating they should get have some shots.
"No, that kind of time, I mean time time." They weren't getting it. He turned to Rebeka, Sirius' woman of the evening, "Could you excuse us?"
"Sure." She said turning just so, to make her boobs look huge.
"Thanks." James was all but pushing her away.
"See you in a bit Sirius." She said slowly in the soft, flirty tone of hers.
"I look forward to it." He winked. She smiled purring for a second before walking away, her hips shaking.
"So what's up?" Sirius asked disregarding Rebeka completely.
"It's time." Remus repeated, unsure what exactly it meant.
"Last time I said that I agreed, you said no. So what's it time for?"
"I was just with Lily-"
"And to think, I always thought once you crazies got together, we wouldn't have to hear about it anymore." Sirius grinned.
"Listen," James instructed still breathing hard from running a few blocks to get there. "Okay, we went out walking in the park-"
"Very romantic." Sirius interrupted sarcastically.
"And it was just perfect."
"Okay, so-?" Remus asked.
"Yeah, I don't get it." Peter admitted.
"I get it." Sirius told them.
"You do?" Remus was skeptical.
"Yeah. Prongs here wants to brag. Let me guess, you held hands, and gave the hobo on the bench a few sickles, then snogged under a street lamp."
"No." James said. "Although we did hold hands and we did talk to a homeless man, but then Lily doesn't believe in giving them money because they use it for drugs, so she bought him a taco instead."
"Anyway..." Remus pressed.
"Right,well I was taking her home to her flat and,"
"After snogging on her porch-" Sirius added. Remus elbowed him in the ribs, silencing him.
"Go on." Remus advised.
"After kissing a bit-" James continued only to have Sirius interrupt again.
"Told you."
"She went in." James finished. His friends waited for more.
"So then it was time to come here?" Peter guessed thoroughly confused. Remus looked at him just as confused.
"Yes, but no. I wanted to go in with her."
"I still think it's crazy that she won't sleep with you until your married." Sirius added.
"Exactly." James exclaimed pointing to him.
"You wanted to shag her?" Remus was a bit revolted. He never liked hearing about other's night adventures.
"No. Well yeah. But the last thing."
"Uh," Sirius began, but had nothing.
James sighed exasperated. "I want to marry Lily Evans."
"Oh"
"Sure."
"Of course." His friends said.
"Why?" Sirius asked.
"Well, I love her, and like I said, I was walking her home and it just didn't feel right leaving her at the door. Like I belonged inside with her. As her husband. You know?"
"No." Sirius honestly shook his head.
"Not really." Peter said.
"Kinda." Remus supplied. "So when are you going to propose?"
"I don't know. I just know that I want to marry her."
"Well in that case." Sirius said tapping his pool stick on the side of his shoe.
"I need a plan." James decided. No one said anything after that. Pranks they could pull off. Wedding proposals, not so much.
"Any ideas?" James asked. Nothing.
"Prongs," Sirius began slowly, "We don't know how one proposes to a woman. I mean look at us. There's you, who spent almost your entire school career chasing one girl while occasionally dating others. Remus here had one girlfriend last year. First girlfriend ever."
"Actually-" Remus was about to protest but Sirius didn't give him the chance.
"Peter is pretty afraid of women. With their-uh-curves and attitude, and frankly some, like your Evans, are intimating. Then there's me. I'm really, frankly, optimistically, happily not the commitment type. At all. See Rachelle over there?"
"I thought her name was Rebeka?" James asked. Sirius closed his eyes flinching.
"Right. Rebeka, her name is Rebeka. Um, well I think my points been made. I barely met her about an hour ago, and already I've forgotten her name."
"So, what? Because you have no experience you can't help me?"
"That's not what I'm saying." Sirius said slowly.
"Come on! Marauders for life remember? We didn't know what we were doing when we jumped in to help Moony with his furry little problem. We had no clue what the hell we were doing when we became animagi. Half the pranks we pulled were made up on the spot because the original plan fell through."
"If you remember those were the pranks that landed us in detention." Remus pointed out.
"Yeah." Peter agreed.
"My point is, we don't need to know what we're doing to do something. I need you guys." James said.
"Oh, alright. But this is going to take planning. And speeches, and protocol." Sirius told him.
"So your in?" James asked.
"I guess." Sirius sighed dramatically.
"Yep." Peter said.
"Apparently." Remus agreed.
And so it began.
Sort Chapter, but what did you think? It's got promise right?
