~*~*~Chapter 4: Summer Love and Summer Anger*~*~
**. . .James and Lily. . .**
10 minutes later, the cute new couple was still snogging under the sun. Good thing not too many people came this way, otherwise they'd be making quite a scene. Suddenly, James felt a tap on his shoulder, which startled him. He jumped and they two broke apart, turning to see who'd interrupted their moment.
"Sirius," James moaned, just as Lily said, "Alison!" Sirius and Ali were holding drinks and hot dogs in their hands.
(A/N: I realize this is American food, but.work with me here. They have hot dogs in Britain!)
"I told you they couldn't stay away from each other for one frikin' second," Sirius said, somewhat triumphantly.
James grinned and said, "Well, how d'you expect me to stay away from this beauty?"
Lily smiled faintly and traces of pink could be seen on her cheeks. But she regained herself.
"And you want me to stay away from this handsome prince? C'mon, what d'you expect from me?" Lily said, pinching James's cheek and making him give his puppy dog look. Sirius pretended to hurl.
"Ok, ok, whatever. Everybody loves everybody. Now can we go find Remus and Sierra please? I'm gonna puke for real if someone says anything mushy around me again," Sirius said irritably. Ali giggled.
"I second that," she said.
*~*~*
**. . .Remus and Sierra. . .**
"So you like Avril Lavigne, too?" Remus said disbelievingly.
"Yeah! She's so cool!" Sierra gushed.
"I can't believe it, I mean, you're like, the only other person I know who actually listens to American Muggle music," Remus confessed. "My friends don't even care that much about music."
"Same here," Sierra said.
"Wow, we have a lot in common, don't we?" Remus said. This was his chance. 'Tell her you like her,' He thought. 'Wait. Did I just admit I liked her? Yikes, freaky. Ok. . .yes, I like her. Sirius's sister. Oh man.'
"Yeah, guess so," Sierra said quietly. 'Tell him you like him - correction, you've liked him for a long time!' She instructed herself.
"I have to say -" they both said at the same time.
"You go first," Remus said courteously.
"No, you," Sierra insisted.
"No, well -" They two teens looked down at the floor for a spilt second and responded at the same time.
"I like you," they both said together. They locked eyes.
"You do?" Remus mused. "YOU do? Both of us like.I mean.we like each other? That's kinda cool," he said happy and nervous at the same time.
Sierra gaped at Remus without saying anything. "Sierra," Remus said. "Hellooooo," he muttered, waving a hand in front of her face. Sierra grabbed his hand and pulled him into a kiss. Starting innocent maybe, but pretty soon they were so close together you couldn't tell where either one began, they just looked whole.
Suddenly, Sirius, James, Ali and Lily burst onto the scene, laughing about something, but they all froze when they saw Remus and Sierra. James and Lily exchanged nervous glances and then stared at Sirius; Ali just looked, wide-eyed at her crush next to her. Sirius had his eyes narrowed, fists clenched and teeth grinding. Sirius started stomping over to where his sister and friend were, but James knew what he'd best do. "Moony!" he yelled at his bud. Remus and Sierra broke apart. Out of breath and startled, they both saw Sirius making his way to them
"Oh, shity-darn, shity-darn, shity-darn," Sierra muttered.
"Whoa-oh," Remus answered. They looked at each other and smiled. At the same time, they stood up and ran behind the restaurant and somewhere out of sight. Sirius stopped when they ran and he rounded on James.
"Why the hell'd you yell, James?!?" he demanded.
"Sirius, calm down -" Lily began.
"Calm down? My sister's being snogged by one of my best friends! There's nothing to calm down about!" he yelled.
"Don't yell at her!" James shouted back, defensively.
"You stay out of this!" Sirius shouted. "If you guys hadn't been messin' around we would have gotten here sooner!"
"Sirius, shut the hell up!" James screamed, pushing his friend away from him.
"Don't touch me!" Sirius spat.
"You guys, stop arguing!" Lily pleaded.
"Shut up!"
"DON'T YELL AT HER! OR ME!"
"You can't -"
"YOU GUYS, STOP!!" Ali screeched. Everyone silenced.
"Ok, this is no one's fault, alright? Sirius, just cool your jets for a sec. Remus and Sierra have as much right to do that as Lily and James do, so don't be getting all overprotective of her. These are our last weeks of the summer together, all in the same house I might add, so let's not get in a fight. We need to go find Remus and Sierra so we can go home, calmly. Got it?" she said firmly. Sirius cowered under her furious stare. "We'll get an answer out of them later. And Sirius, you're staying with me. I don't want anyone freaking Sierra and Remus out more than they might already be."
James and Lily went to find Remus and Sierra, while Ali and Sirius stayed behind and sat down. Sirius breathed hard and hid his face in his hands.
"Sirius, it's ok," Ali cooned softly, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"No it isn't. I shouldn't have blown up at everyone. And Sierra's probably even madder at me than Remus is -"
"Sierra's your sister. She'll forgive you. But you do have to apologize."
"I know."
"Just chill for a bit, ok?"
"Yeah. . . And Ali?"
"Huh?"
"Thanks."
"No prob."
(A/N: Heheheee, I had fun writing that chapter! Compliments to the word *shity-darn*. my friend Britany and I made it up.teehehee. I usually don't swear THAT much, but I mean, they were in trouble, I had to use our word!! I imagine Sirius kind of like Ron -overprotective about his sister and really worried about guys liking her. . .R/R!!!)
