A/N: Hey everybody, HAPPY TURKEY DAY! But, on a more serious and apologetic note: I am so incredibly sorry that I haven't been updating at all recently. Diving season just ended (for those who care and actually read these :D), sectionals was last Saturday. Now time for season of pain, blood, sweat, tears, sprains, strains, broken bones…otherwise known as gymnastics it's a love/hate relationship with my sports but hey, what can a girl do? No onward ho, my maties, chapter 6 ahead!

Truth or Dare continued

Alice and Frank sprung apart immediately as if Lily's words felt like a static shock.

"Explain," Lily demanded, "Not that I'm not immensely not happy for you two dolts for realizing that you love each other or anything," she added, noting her harsh tone. Both Alice and Frank were grinning ear to ear and looked like idiots in Lily's opinion.

"Well see, Sirius took over your turn, as you'd seem like you'd be gone for awhile and his curiosity was killing him. So he asked Alice the normal truth or dare she said dare, knowing Sirius would ask her," Mary started to explain, seeing as Alice was too flustered to explain herself.

Remus took over now, "At first Sirius dared Alice to tell him who she fancied but we vetoed it, seeing as that wasn't fair, nor a real dare" IT RYHMES!

Sirius interrupted Remus now, "Then I had an absolute, brilliant plan. I dared her to snog the bloke she fancied," he made a tada-ing gesture. "Then you two lovebirds walked in."

James, who was standing slightly behind Lily, started grinning while Lily blushed and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no! We are definitely NOT lovebirds!" Lily said while still blushing. She heard James distinctively mutter "rain-check lovebirds". She elbowed him in the stomach to shut him up.

Mary stage-whispered to Sirius and Remus, "Now all we need is for these two 'dolts' to realize they luuuurrrvvveeee each other."

Remus and Sirius grinned, as did James, still hiding behind Lily, who was shooting her "best friend" daggers.

Remus actually whispered to Mary, "I believe that one lovebird already knows how much he loves her."

Mary grinned and smacked her forehead in mock-forgetfulness, "Oh how could I forget?"

Lily glared at Remus now too. James, in the hope of moving on, cleared his throat and said, "Lily, it's your turn."

The fiery redhead huffed one more time but saying, "Mary, truth or dare?"

Mary pondered for a few moments before replying, "Truth, I don't want to be on the receiving end of your rage," she said in a joking manner. Lily grinned, forgetting the previous conversation for a few seconds.

Haha, we're watching a video about Rome and its origin/beginning and they say it was created by Romulus and Remus and they were raised by wolves. Hehehe(:

"Hmm, I know nearly everything about you, except…" Lily paused while Mary winced and Alice looked on with excitement clear on her face. "Who was your first kiss with?"

Mary wincing face went away at once at the thoughts of her first kiss; it was like she was in a trance, her voice sounded unlike her own and dreamy, "Alex Wood."

"YES! YES! YES! WE FINALLY KNOW THE FORBIDDEN INFORMATION!" Alice screamed, dancing around. The Marauders gave her weird looks as she was the only one dancing to invisible music in the room.

Lily was grinning and said, "Mary has refused to give us the name of her first kiss and we've been bothering her about it since fourth year."

Alice came trotting over to Lily and whispered in her ear, "Well, it looks like we can finally play match-maker!"

Lily grinned and nodded in agreement, but the silence wasn't even needed, Mary was far away in her thoughts. Remus brought her back to Earth by saying, "Mary, it's your turn."

She snapped out of her trance quickly and looked around the room, before settling on Remus, "Remus, truth or dare?"

"I'm going to be lazy like my fellow Marauder," he said, motioning to James, who reacted with a rude gesture, "and take truth."

"All right," Mary said, starting immediately, "Why haven't you ever had a girlfriend? I mean you're so nice and sweet!" Remus was stuttered and started to mad, Mary continued, "Unless you swing the other way…"

Remus looked outraged and was able to form words now, "I do not swing the other bloody way," he started but was quickly interrupted by Sirius.

"I bloody hope you don't," Sirius said cracking up with James but they were quickly silenced by Remus.

"I don't need a girlfriend," he stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "They're just distracting and I need to concentrate. It's N.E.W.T.'s year for Godric's sake!"

Everyone seemed to just accept the answer, Alice being preoccupied with Frank, Lily and the Marauders knowing that his lycanthropy was the problem, not his studying ambitions, and Mary was easily convinced.

Sirius fake yawned and exclaimed with shocking volume, "This game is boring! Let's add some Firewhiskey!"

When Lily looked like she wanted to protest, Sirius kept talking, "Lily-flower, you don't have patrols tonight, it's the second day of school and they start on Monday, so don't try to pull that, and we can just stay here tonight if we become drunk—"

"Sirius! Me and James do have to patrol tonight, what are you on?" Lily looked at him with her eyebrows raised.

Sirius shrugged and said, "Well, it was worth a shot…"

"Actually, now that you reminded me, we have patrols in five minutes, Padfoot," James said, sighing while looking at his watch.

"I take this as farewell, Prongsies, love of my brotherhood," Sirius said, giving James a bear hug and dragging Lily into it too…Actually sandwiching her…

"Geroff! I can't breathe you weirdos!" Lily was trying to talk but her voice was muffled from James and Sirius, but she was smiling.

After a few moments James and Sirius let go off each other revealing a very flustered Lily. Alice and Mary giggled at their very disgruntled friend. But too soon, they were all saying goodbye, and too soon, Lily and James were by themselves, wandering in the halls of Hogwarts, patrolling.

"Well that was fun," James said smiling.

Lily nodded and replied, "Yeah, it actually was. I thought I was going to dread it."

James pretended to be hurt, "Dread it? How could you possibly dread a game of truth or dare with the Marauders?"

Lily didn't answer; she just laughed and playfully shoved him. She then realized that even though that they agreed to be friends this morning; they acted as it's been a decade long friendship. It was easy and quick, not like any of her other friendship, as they started off awkward. She and James just seemed to click and she liked it.

This author's note also serves as the purpose of a page break(: I'm listening to Hey Jude, by the Beatles from my iHome/iPod, and from my laptop! Talk about surround sound!

They patrolled without problems, as it was the first day back, and no one had wanted to start off on the wrong foot this year. They returned the Head's Common Room got ready for bed.

Today was a pretty amazing day. I woke up today hating everything and now I pretty love life. Its days like these I could relive over and over again and not want to change a single thing, Lily reflected as she was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep. She turned around and saw James already asleep; he didn't have his glasses on, his hair was even messier if possible and his mouth was slightly ajar. She grinned before drifting off.

A/N: all right, I feel horrible about taking forever to update. Like I said, I had a total of one day off of sports, yippee, and I always have school… Grr, life gets in the way too much… Well, an eventful chapter is next, thank Godric, I hate filler chapters just as much as the next person, but please review, that green button is calling you!

See? | Right there
