Summary: Jily on a date.
Lily was the first to ever take James to a carnival. His parents hadn't intentionally denied him the pleasure of it or anything, they simply hadn't known such a thing existed.
And when Lily discovered that, she decided to take James to one.
James was immensely thankful for that decision.
He had a lot of fun, throwing balls at things to win a stuffed animal that no one actually cared about, but cost him hours and a few Galleons—exchanged into Muggle Money, of course—to win Lily. She probably acted more thankful than she actually was and he knew it.
James also tried to sample any and all sweets he didn't know, giving extensive reviews of them.
"It's not that I dislike cotton candy—far from it, actually," he said between bites, "it's just that the texture is so weird. The taste is wonderful, but I can't stop thinking about the texture."
Lily giggled as she took her fiancés hand. "James, talk less, smile more."
"But why shouldn't I tell you my opinion?" He frowned.
"Perhaps I should have said 'eat more'," Lily corrected herself. "The longer you take to finish that, the longer it'll take until we can go to the Ferris Wheel, because I will not go on that with you while you still have food in your hands."
"Why not?" James asked once again. Lily wasn't sure if he had actually forgotten it or simply enjoyed hearing it yet another time.
"Because the Ferris Wheel is very romantic and I refuse to be second choice to candy," she replied with a smile on her lips.
"Good point," he acknowledged, taking another huge bite, almost finishing it. "I can't wait to see the city from above, even if I'm sure you look way better."
"Stop it," Lily commanded. "You're making me blush."
"Am I wrong, though?"
