~ Chapter 3 ~ Surprise, surprise
"Wow," James breathed as Lily descended down the stairs.
Lily smiled and blushed. Ali had found her a really great dress. It was navy blue and shiny, short, but had extra pieces of spiraling material cascading downwards. Ali had applied a light tint of blue to Lily's eyes and had given her some dark red lipstick with gloss. Lily's nails were pained a dark blue shade and had some decos on them.
But it was Lily's hair that made her stand out. Ali had magically cut it (don't worry, she could magically grow it out, back to normal, too.) Her hair was tapered, with the first cut up to her chin and the longest cut up to her shoulders. (I hope you guys know what tapered hair is. My hair is tapered now, I just cut it!) She had blonde highlights in her hair as well.
(A/N: One more A/N thing. If any of you have the J-14 February issue, on page 87, Lily's hair is like Beverly Mitchell's is.)
"Like my hair?" Lily asked uncertainly.
"I love it. I mean. . .wow, it's. . .short. I mean, shorter. It looks really great," James said, not taking his eyes off of her.
"Well, let's go."
"Wait, we have to go outside first."
"Why? Aren't we just Apparating there?" Lily asked blankly.
"Nope. I have a different mode of transportation!" James said excitedly. They walked outside and Lily gasped when she noticed a car parked outside.
"C'mon! Let's go!" James said, jumping into the driver's seat.
"Um, James? D'you know how to drive?" Lily asked, worried.
"No, but how hard can it be? And I've got magic to help stop us if we get out of control. C'mon, Lils," he pleaded.
"Er, ok. . ." Lily sat in the car and gripped the seat tightly, also securing her seat belt. 'I dunno why I'm doing this!' she thought.
James started and then stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped.
"H-ey. I-think-I-'m-get-ting-the hang-of-t-his!" James said, joliting the breaks and accelerator.
"Jam-es, stop-th-e-ca-r!" Lily ordered. He stopped. "What?"
"Out!"
James sighed.
"We're switching seats."
Lily and James swapped seats and Lily drove this time. And she actually drove right.
"Why did you want a car to begin with?" Lily asked.
"Well, I just wanted to try it out. And I'm just renting it. AND, you're Muggle Born, so I figured you'd know how to work it."
"Yeah, well. . .ok, I guess. Now, where are we going?" Lily said.
*~*
After they had dinner, James looked nervous again. They were sitting around, talking and James knew it was time to ask.
"Erm. . .Lily? I have a question for you," he began awkwardly.
"Ok, shoot," Lily said. She was all smiles, she loved spending time with James, of course. She wondered what could have gotten him so nervous all of the sudden.
James pulled a small box out of his pocket and Lily froze. 'Oh my gosh. . .is that what I think it is?'
He popped it open and it revealed a ring. Slowly, he got down on one knee in front of her and asked,
"Lily, will you marry me?"
(A/N: Ha! Ooh, I dunno, I just wanted to leave you all with a cliffy.
WILL LILY ACCEPT THE RING (don't be nieve now. . .she might decide otherwise. . .or not.)? WILL JAMES HURL? WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH SIRIUS/ALI, SIERRA/REMUS???? TUNE IN TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF. . . LIFE'S LIKE THIS, ONCE AGAIN!!)
Oh yeah!! AND THANKS soooo much reviewers!!!!!!! Heheheh note to Lady Lillian - we'll see. . .
Sorry I never post. . .school can be tough and I'm trying to finish all my homework so I can actually pull off good grades this year! Byeeeeee~~~
