Chapter 1: 'Kissy Lipstick'

Everybody knows that he is gonna steal the show
You better keep it in control or you'll go crazy
Back mask, spinning wax, the record had a heart attack
It made you do things that drove you crazy

You're the one
You're the one
You're the one, that's making me crazy
I'm in love, but it's only temporary

You're the One by Sugarcult

"Ouch!" Sirius yelled from his place in the crowd after Katie had said something harsh.

"Well...erm...Katie...I...uh..." James stammered.

"James! I saw you kissing Courtney Gibbons with my own two eyes!"

James was in the center of a huge crowd with his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend.

"How could you just let this happen, James?" she hollered at him. Everyone was watching them fight in the middle of the South Lawn.

"I didn't kiss her. I swear! She just kind of tripped…."

"And you caught her with your lips, right?"

"No, I didn't mean to! I swear! I love you Katie and you know it... Although, Courtney Gibbons was a good kisser..." The crowd laughed.

"That's it James. We're through. I don't want to ever see you again!" Katie ran through the crowd, which broke up, and to the Gryffindor tower, most likely to find her best friends, Lily Evans, and Sara Matthews.

"James, you lost another good one," Sirius said after the mob disappeared. "Can I have her?"

"Sure.…" James answered, not really listening. He was staring to where he thought was the Gryffindor girls' dormitory, where he knew Katie was going to tell Lily what happened.Shit, She'll never let me live to ask her out again, he thought.

James had had a crush on Lily ever since first year. He asked her out at least ten times a day, which annoyed her to no end. She thought that he was just playing around and everything and it didn't really hurt when she said 'no', but to James... it really did hurt. He really loved her. He asked out other girls to either get her jealous (which didn't work at all...too many girls in a week), or to keep his mind off of Lily.

Sirius helped a little too, since he was going out with Sara at the moment, and could talk to Lily any time he wanted to. But now that James lost Katie.… Lily would never talk to him again. He had kissed Courtney behind the greenhouses, but it was pure accident. She had planned it, most likely. Just about every girl, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, all the way through seventh year, (which was the year James and the rest of the gang were in) had a huge crush on James…. Except Lily, who would never fall for James's 'romantic ways'.

But, James felt if Lily would give him one chance, then they might be together for a little longer than a week.

"Its okay, Katie," Lily said. "He's just an arrogant git anyway. He's got his head to far up his as-," Katie looked at Lily. Lily was trying not to cuss all the time. "-stronaut. Sorry, I just read this really interesting article on muggle astronauts. Anyway, he's got his head too far up his butt. That's all." Katie smiled at her friend. Sara ran into the dormitory, short of breath.

"Sorry! I came as soon as I found out, Katie! It's really okay. James has just got his head to far up his ass to care for any other living creature."

"Thank you, Sara! Exactly my point! Hey! Wait. How come she can cuss and I can't?" Lily put on a pouty face. Katie smiled.

"Well, thanks, guys. I love you guys so much. Why can't I ever have a decent boyfriend?" Katie asked with a few teardrops still rolling down her face.

"Cause there's really none out there," Lily said. Right on cue Sirius walked in the girls' dormitory.

"Sirius!" Sara yelled.

"Oops. Sorry." Sirius put a hand over his eyes. "Is everyone dressed?"

"No!" Lily lied. Sirius lowered his hand a bit.

"Liars!"

"Ewe! God, Sirius, why would you look if we said we weren't dressed? And how'd you get up here anyway?" Sara shrieked.

"I like a girl in her nighties." There was a disgusted expression on each of the girls' faces. "I'm just kidding. I knew you were dressed, anyhow. We've got cameras wiring the place! Erm...aha...whoops...didn't exactly mean to.…" Sirius didn't finish his sentence, but ran out of the room with all three girls chasing him. Sirius ran into James...literally, knocking him down.

"What the hell, Padfoot?" Sirius got up and ran into the table.

"Damn. Oww. That freakin' hurt. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch." Sirius got up holding his foot.

"Aww. Did Sirius hurt his foot wunning away from the mean wittle girls?" Sara cooed as the three girls wrestled Sirius to the ground.

"What'd you do this time, Padfoot?" James asked. When Sara realized James was there, she tackled him too for cheating on her best friend. She punched him right in the stomach. James let out a moan. "That was a nice right hook, but damn, that hurt!"

"Thank you!" Sara said, kneeing him in a place that we won't disclose. James's face froze.

"Holy sh-" Sirius interrupted his cry, "James! What the hell? Help me get them off!"

"Can't—at—the-moment—I'm—kinda—in—pain—over—here—" James moaned.

"Where?" Sirius asked.

In response, James just let out another moan.

"Oh!" Sirius said surprised. "Sara! Get off him. If you're going to beat up anyone, it should at least be your own boyfriend! Oh Shit!" Sirius said as Sara leapt off of James and kneed Sirius in the same place as she did James.

The three girls kissed the moaning boys on their foreheads, as they stalked off to their dormitory.

"That hurt."

"No shit, Sherlock."

"What's a Sherlock?"

"Never mind."

Sirius and James went back to the boys' dormitory where they found Remus and Peter.

"What happened to you guys?" laughed Peter. "Girls troubles?"

"Shut the bloody hell up," Sirius retorted.

"Yeah! We're not in a very good mood," James whined.

"What'd they do to you?" asked Remus.

"Ewe. That sounded wrong, Moony."

"Sorry, Wormtail. But what you do to provoke them?"

"That sounded wrong too, Moony."

"Shut up, Wormtail. Get your mind out of the sewer."

"Thanks. But still. What did you guys do?"

"You explain it Sirius. I'm not sure why they were chasing you." James said as he fell down onto his bed.

"Well..." Sirius said also sitting on his bed, "I walked into the girls' room to ask Sara if she wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend-"

Remus interrupted, "How'd you get in their dormitory? I thought it turned into a slide when guys tried to go up."

"And you would know this, how, Moony?" Peter asked.

"Shut up, Wormtail." Moony said as he turned red.

"I know a secret way to get up through the staircase in the back, but that's not important at the moment. Well, they started yelling at me because I was in their room. And I accidentally let slip that James and I bugged the girls' dormitory." Sirius explained.

"You did what?" yelled James standing up from his bed.

"Sorry..." Sirius said. "Anyways, so earlier, James snogged Courtney behind the greenhouses, 'by accident' and Katie caught him. So they started to row. But Sara basically knocked the stars out of James, and then I said that she should at least be beating up her own boyfriend, which of course she took quite literally. Then she basically knocked the stars out of me too. They then parted by kissing us on the foreheads. That's basically what happened."

"By the way, James, Sirius, you both have three colors of lip stick on your foreheads," Remus informed them.

"But James...you only have two colors. The other color's on your lips. Who kissed your lips?" Peter asked.

"I don't know…. Wait! What? Someone kissed me?" James nearly screamed. He ran over to the mirror and saw two lipstick marks on his forehead, and a light purple one on his lips.

"Looks like it Prongs," answered Sirius. "But who? It better not have been Sara!"

"I doubt it would be, Padfoot," said James. "Oh! I know. Let's go see what color each of their lips are!"

"Quick! We need to switch lipstick!" Lily yelled when they got back to their dormitory.

"Why?" asked Katie.

"Just do it! For…tax reasons. I don't know. Just don't put on the light purple. Okay?"

"Fine?" Sara and Katie answered confused.

"Here, hand me the red, and Sara the pink." Katie ordered.

"Okay. Here you go," Lily answered handing each of them the colors they liked. Lily put on maroon colored lipstick. "Okay, we can go back downstairs now. I'm sure Sirius and James have gone upstairs by now."

The three seventh year girls walked down the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. They each sat on the couch and pulled out a book to read.

"Okay. Let's go down and see if they're there. Look for someone with light purple lipstick. Okay? Just casually talk to the three and see which one is wearing the 'kissy lipstick'. Okay?"

"Okay," the other three Maurderers chorused. They walked down the stairs and found the girls reading on the couch. Sirius sat down next to Sara.

"Hey Sara!" Sara looked up from her book. Nope. No light purple 'kissy lipstick'. Thank Merlin! Sirius thought.

"Hi Sirius!" Sara leaned over and instead of kissing him, smacked him across the face.

"Why'd you that for!"

"You hot wired our room!"

"Hey! Hot wiring for a hot girl!"

"Sirius, you're an idiot."

"Yeah. But I'm your idiot!" Sirius leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"You still have lipstick on your head. And I'm still mad at you."

"Okay. Then we're even."

"...Erm...?" said Sara with nothing left to say, but started snogging him anyway.

"Hey Lily!" said James.

"Hello Potter," Lily said in a bored voice still looking at her book.

"Okay? So we're still on a last name basis. Fine with me, Evans. But some day you'll go out with me." Lily looked up from her book at this comment. Nope. No light purple 'kissy lipstick'. Crap, thought James, Katie then?

"In your dreams Potter," Lily spat.

"Yeah, I know. Every night."

"Aww, how sweet," Katie said looking up from her book. "How come you never talked to me like that?" Nope. No light purple 'kissy lipstick' on her either.

"Let's go to class. It's better than watching these two swap spit, anyway." Remus said, referring to Sara and Sirius.

Sara broke apart from Sirius and glared at Remus, but went up to the dormitory to get her books with Lily and Katie anyway.

The Marauders, Sara, and Katie slept through History of Magic, as usual. And, as usual, Lily took notes. They couldn't understand how she could fight off the urge to put her head down on the desk.
