"Alright, straight-face contest. The usual rules apply." Sirius announced.
"Readyyyyy….." Remus said, scrunching and unscrunching his face, and making all sorts of faces.
"Go!" Peter said as James ran over.
"Mate, I just asked Lily Evans out!" James said excitedly.
The other Marauders looked blandly at him. "What else is new?" Remus asked.
"She said yes!" James proclaimed, doing a little victory dance.
Peter, Sirius, and Remus looked at each other for a moment. A telepathic conversation seemed to be held for a fraction of a second before they all turned back to James.
They all looked him straight in the eye, and then promptly broke out in peals of laughter.
"Ha, that`s a good one, Prongs! Original, too!" Peter managed to say while catching himself on the table to keep from falling out of his seat in laughter.
"You win! That`s the best. I can`t compete with that." Sirius gasped, laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
"Guys! I`m serious!" James said, his face turning red.
"No, I`m Sirius!" Sirius exclaimed, and then doubled over laughing. The hysteria increased in the other two as well, and James rolled his eyes and allowed himself to chuckle a bit.
"Honestly though, she really said yes-" James started again.
"Stop it, you`re killing me!"
