For all you readers' sakes, I will put James words in bold. I didn't want to put a space between every line because it was too...well...spaced out. But I still want it to be easy to read. So, enjoy!
"Evans! Go out with me!"
"Potter! No!"
"Why not?"
"Because you never say please."
"All right then. Evans, will you go out with me please."
"No."
"What?! I said the p-word!"
"Oh, grow up! You're seventeen years old! And I won't because you always call me by my surname."
"O.k. then...Lily, will you go out with me."
"I believe you forgot something."
(sigh) "Lily, will you go out with me, please"
"Hmm...NO!"
"WHAT NOW!"
"I didn't give you permission to use my name."
"But- what - I don't understand??"
(pats head) "Ah, poor little James Potter. He is all confused. Let me try and explain it to you without hurting your poor head"
(deep breath)
"All citizens of the world, to the exception of teachers/headmasters and other important authoritative persons such as parents/guardians, are prohibited to use the name 'Lily Tiger Evans' without the permission of the owner of said name. Such person who wishes to use that name must be at least somewhat mature and normal, and not in general a jerk, thus not James Potter. Any violation of this code is punishable by various curses and/or jinxes used in very painful and/or humiliating ways by the hand of Lily Evans herself."
(silence)
(sigh)
"It means you can't use my name without my permission. So, if you use my name in a sentence that sentence is not valid. I will also injure you if you dare use it deliberately."
"But you said you would go out with me if I used your name!"
"Exactly. If you use my name I will go out with you. But I have to give permission first."
"Lil-Evans, can I use your name?"
"No."
"Please!!"
"N.O. No. You'd think you would understand by now, even with a skull as thick as yours."
"I don't get it."
"Nevermind."
(silence)
"Your middle name is Tiger?!"
"Wha-?? Potter I said that five minutes ago! You just figured it out now?!"
"I was trying to find a way to get you to go out with me! It's hard to concentrate on what your saying and finding a sure-fire way for you to go out with me at the same time!"
"My God! Why don't you just give up! It's been since third year! Four years!"
"Yeah, well, I figured that either a) you'd fall for my charm b)you'd fall for my looks c) you'd fall for my Quidditch skills d)..."
"Stop! My poor head!"
"Actually, that's exactly what I was going to say! Choice d) was that you would get so fed up with me asking you out that you would just say yes."
(silence)
"Real intelligent, Potter."
(silence)
"Are you fed up yet?"
"Grrr! Yes! I am fed up! But I will never, ever, go out with you!"
Two months later
"FINE!! I'll go out with you! Just SHUT UP!"
"Muah ha ha ha ha! My evil plan worked!"
"Umm...Sirius? I thought of it. And it isn't evil"
"You just had to ruin the moment, didn't you, Prongs?"
Two years later
"Will you marry me, Lily?"
"Did I give you permission do use my name? Noooo. But, if you insist, I guess I'll just have to marry you... I mean, who else will give you your daily jinx?"
Hee hee! This story was fun to write!
