AN: Here's the next chapter. That didn't take too long. I was actually done with this chapter the day after I put up chapter 2. But I didn't want to update too fast, so I waited till I got some reviews. Who knows. If I would have gotten more, I would have updated quicker. I wanted to make sure people actually knew the chapter existed. Anyways, a thanks is in order.

"Oi! Prongs!" Sirius called after James. Waltzing into the store. He looked around at the front of the store but didn't find James. He wandered over to the back and noticed James holding something up from a bin. "Prongs?"

James turned around from what he was looking at and immediately hid something behind his back. But the harm was already done. "That's nice to get for your wife," Sirius winked. Indicating to the black thong behind James's back. He blushed a dark crimson color and flicked the garment back into the bin behind his back. "They have the matching bra over there," Sirius smirked. Pointing to a dummy wearing the matching set.

"Shut it! Where'd you go?" James asked flustered. Changing the subject.

"Had to go to the… bathroom," Sirius answered quickly.

"Alright," James said quirking his eyebrow. "You took an awfully long time," he mumbled.

"Well, you know how it is when you've got a bad stomach and stuff," Sirius lied. All the while in a cheery voice and a smile.

"Oh, Okay," James said.

"Look Prongs, on the way back, I saw a jewelry store. We should go there. Check it out. They have some really good stuff," he smirked, "unless you want to get those lovely garments for your wife."

James punched Sirius hard on the shoulder. Causing Sirius to yelp in pain, "Ouch!"

"A jewelry store?" James thought. "Not a bad idea at all. Let's go see." James said. Rushing out of the store and leading the way. With Sirius running at his heels.

"Relax Prongs. The diamonds aren't going to run away," Sirius laughed at his best friend's antics.

"I know that," he snapped back irritated.

"Just checking," Sirius responded good naturedly.

They walked down the busy road looking inside of every store. "Where is it again?" James asked.

"Uh," Sirius replied. Not having a clue where it was. He looked to his left, "Oh there!" he cried pointing to the store. He let out a deep breath. That was close.

They both walked into the store and looked around at all the of the glass cases and cabinets. They then noticed that each part of the store was divided into sections. They passed the rings part of the store first, 'You don't need one of those Prongs. You already proposed.' The diamonds shimmered and gleamed at them as they passed. Further into the store were the bracelets. From silver all the way to gold.

"Should I get her a bracelet or necklace?" James asked bewildered.

"You should get her a necklace," Sirius replied. Remembering Remus's advice from earlier.

"Which one?" he asked. As they reached the end of the store they were surrounded by nothing but necklaces. There were billions of them all adorned in the glass cabinets, and even some glass cases on the wall. "There's so many to pick from. Which one should I get?"

"Umm, choose a pretty one," Sirius said.

"They're all pretty," James said. "You're a big help."

"Hey, who's idea was it to come in here? Mine!"

"Excuse me gentlemen."

Sirius and James turned around having heard an old male voice. But saw no one. James looked down and tried not to look so surprised. There was an old man before them who wore a black tidy suit and was indeed very short. Sirius was utterly bewildered and was still looking for the person that the voice belonged to. His head was swerving from left to right. Eyes searching hysterically. "Who said-" James nudged him hard on the side and Sirius looked at him.

James nodded his head to the old man and Sirius looked down. "Oh!" he said surprised. "Hello." Nice Sirius. James said to himself.

"Good afternoon," the old man said with a deep old voice and accent. Reminding them of a butler from a mansion. "Could I be of any assistance?" he asked.

"Uh," James looked at Sirius who just starred back. "Yes actually. We do need help."

"What, may I ask, are you searching for?" the old man asked.

"Umm, some necklaces. Well just one," said James.

"Is this necklace for a woman?"

"I hope so," Sirius joked.

James glared at him from the side while responding, "Yes, it's for my wife."

"Ah, well, we have a variety as you can see to choose from. But there is always a special necklace for a special woman. What does this fine woman look like?"

"She's gorgeous. Has long red hair and green eyes," James saw the old man's brows come together. "A problem?"

"That's very peculiar. I would have sworn I had a woman walk in today with the same-"

Sirius grabbed James roughly by the arm and tugged him to one of the glass cases. "Look at these Prongs. These are lovely. Just choose one of these."

"Padfoot? What are you-?"

Sirius swerved around, "We really don't need your help anymore. Thanks a lot." Sirius said to the old man.

"Which one do you fancy the most Prongs?" Sirius asked quickly to James. Ignoring the weird looks he was receiving. "Better yet, which one would Lily like?"

James gave up and started to gaze at all the different necklaces. "They all look pretty. Oh, what do you think of that one?" James asked. Pointing to a gold chain that had a diamond attached to the bottom.

"Not bad," Sirius commented. "But look at that one."

James shifted his gaze to see a beautiful golden necklace all by itself on display. It started as a single thread, to go on the back of the neck, and then changed to three threads of gold on each side, which met at the middle. Which was supported by three diamonds on each of the three threads that met.

"You have good taste Padfoot," James said.

"I know I do," Sirius replied. "So is that the lucky necklace?"

"What's the price?" asked James. Eyes widening at the thought.

"Does it matter?" Sirius asked. "This is your wife we're talking about! The one person you would sacrifice anything to! Don't be cheap! It's not every day you get to celebrate your anniversary! Now buy it!"

James's eyes narrowed. "I'm not cheap!"

"Prove it!" challenged Sirius.

"Sir!" James called to the old man. Turning around, "I would like to purchase this necklace."

The old man walked slowly over to the back of the case. "Which one sir?"

"That one," James pointed.

"Ah, you have very good taste sir," complimented the old man. Taking out the necklace cautiously.

"I have good taste," mumbled Sirius.

"This necklace has been admired by many. It is rare as well. The style that is. It is a new style, that is why it's so rare."

The old man carefully took the necklace and put it into a navy blue case. "Are you ready to pay for this sir?"

"Uh," he sneaked a glance at Sirius who was watching closely. "Yes I am."

~*~

"I cannot believe this!" shouted James as they exited the store. "No wonder it had so many admirers. No one would buy it because of the price!" Sirius just laughed and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" James snapped.

Sirius put up his index finger to say something but was hit with a fresh new wave of laughter. James hit him hard on the arm, but Sirius only laughed harder. James started to mumble to himself while Sirius was taking in deep breaths to control himself.

He tapped James on the shoulder, "If Lily doesn't like it, I'm going to laugh my ass off. HAHAHA!!" Sirius resumed his laughter.

"She will like it for your sake. Or I'll strangle you with it!"

Sirius's laughter turned to giggles as he regained his composure. "Well, it's been a hell of a day partner. Mission accomplished!" he said patting James on the back.

"You do think she'll like it don't you?" James asked stopping.

Sirius gave James a surprised look but smiled. "Oh Prongs." He grabbed the bag from James's hand and took out the navy blue box that held the necklace in it. "Gifts are things that you give to people. Your not always going to receive a gift you like, but you know what? It's the thought that counts. That person sacrificed what little time there is in life to get this for you. Like I said, it's the thought that counts. A she will like it," Sirius added.

James started at his best friend in amazement. "Those are the most beautiful and intelligent words I have ever heard come from your mouth."

Sirius smiled. "Well, I am a beautiful and intelligent person!" he stated a matter-of-factly. Swinging his arm out to prove his statement, and loosing his grip on the box at the same time. Everything went in slow motion after that. James' eyes widened as did Sirius's. But Sirius immediately went to dive for the box. Which was heading straight into the gutter! Sirius leapt from his spot and dove head-first, arms out in front, to reach the box.

James watched in horror, and winced, as Sirius's clawing hands missed the box, and his face slammed into the concrete over the opening of the gutter. The navy blue box… was gone.
