A/N-I'm back! Yup! Back! With another chapter too! Yahoo! Towards the end of this chapter is where the whole Cyrano de Bergerac play part of the story comes in. Has any of you ever seen Roxanne? With what's his face? Steve Martin? I think…Roxanne is a remake of sorts of the play Cyrano de Bergerac, and this story is like that. It starts to get really funny in the next chapter, I already have it all written. Anyway, enough of my talking. Now you can read the next chapter.
Thank you-Thank you for reviewing!
Walking Contradiction (I love that name by the way. Thanks for the review. And I really like the way I sculpted James's and Remus's and Lily's and Peter's personality. I really don't like Peter, so he'll have as little to do with this fic as possible. I didn't want to make Lily seem all materialistic, because I just don't like it when she's like that. And I always imagined James to be smart, but tricky, charming and prankster sort of person, so that's how I made him. Remus I thought of as smart and less of a prankster than Sirius and James. Glad you like the story so far! I hope you like this new chapter!)
mooncancer (Thanks for leaving a review! I'm glad you like the story!)
Shree (That is a really weird name…I like it! Thanks for leaving a review. Oh and by the way, I really like your favorites list in your bio. I've been "borrowing" your favorites list to find some really good Lily/James fics and you have some really good ones on there! I'm glad you like the story so far! I hope you like this chapter. This is where it starts to get pretty funny I think.)
Disclaimer-Let's play one question. It's kinda like twenty questions, except without twenty questions. Who owns all of the Harry Potter stuff? Good! J.K. Rowling. Ooh, that was so fun. Let's play one question again. Who owns the stuff that I made up? No, not the government, me! Me! Let's play again. What am I eating? Nope! WRONG! I'm eating nothing! Okay, enough twenty questions with only one question, and now, the story! Oh yeah, I still don't have a title, so give me title ideas in a review! Not having a title is starting to really bug me…

Lily and Marissa sat in the Gryffindor Common Room early the next morning.
"Well, we don't have classes until tomorrow morning, so what should we do today?" Lily asked while reading her book.
Marissa shrugged. "We could just wander around the castle. Go to the library maybe. After we get our schedules at breakfast, we could find out where all of our classes are so that we won't get lost trying to look for them tomorrow," she suggested.
Lily shut her book. "Sounds good. Which one do we do first?"
Just then, they heard everyone waking up, and they also heard screams coming from the girls' dormitory rooms. Lily and Marissa glanced at each other quickly before dashing up the stairs and entering their dormitory. When they walked in, they immediately saw what was wrong. Who would be able to miss three girls with nasty neon green hair and this orange-ish goop all over their faces? Not to mention little…things crawling around on the floor. The girls stood, shrieking, in a small group in the center of the room.
Lily gasped and tried to cover her laughs with coughs. Marissa didn't even bother hiding her laughs.
"You guys did this didn't you?" one of them, a girl named Alyssiane accused.
"What? What on earth leads you to believe that?" Lily asked.
"You guys are the only ones of us who don't have neon green hair or orange stuff all over your face!" another girl named Carlise pointed out.
"Umm, hello! If whoever cursed your hair just now or just a few minutes ago, I'd like to remind you that we weren't even in here! We were already up! So they didn't have a chance to make our hair green or put nasty stuff on us! And whoever did thi-" Lily stopped short. She had just made a guess as to the person, or rather, persons behind this. Lily began madly groping the air around the room.
"She's gone insane," the last girl, Marly, said. "Look at her!"
Lily kept on moving around the room, ignoring the girls saying that she was insane. She knew she wasn't insane, just looking for something and she'd know it when she found it. Just as she was beginning to think she was wrong, she walked, her hands still feeling the air in front of her, towards the far corner of the room.
"Back up! Faster! No, that was my foot you moron! Move back, back! Now!" a voice coming from the air in the corner whispered.
"Now really James, Sirius, Remus. I know you're there," Lily said, facing the corner, her hands on her hips.
"Look!" Carlise said to the other girls. "Now she's talking to the wall! She really has gone mad."
"Just keep scooting back, shhh!" a voice hissed, apparently thinking that Lily couldn't hear them. "No, not my foot! Oww! Aaaahh! Ooff!"
Moments later, Sirius, James, and Remus lay sprawled all over the floor after tripping over each other in their hurry to get into the corner.
"Slick one Padfoot," James muttered, trying to punch Sirius on the shoulder, but couldn't get him because his leg was under Remus and his arm was under Sirius.
"Heh heh," Sirius laughed nervously, giving them a weak smile. "Hello girls!"
"Like the new do?" Remus asked, on the verge of laughing.
What followed was very interesting to watch, which was exactly what Marissa and Lily did. The angry, neon green-haired girls threw whatever they could reach at the boys as they hurried to get out of the dormitory, their heads ducked and their hands up to protect their heads. Lily and Marissa were doubled over, laughing and went out into the Common Room, sitting in their usual chairs. Soon, the Marauders joined them, taking seats in the chairs across from them.
"Now that was a good one," Remus said, laughing.
That…was…horrible!" Lily said between laughs. "But it sure was funny."
As they shared a good laugh, Carlise, Marly, and Alyssiane stomped by, pausing to glare at them all before stalking out of the common room.
"Boy are they mad," Marissa said, watching them leave.
"Ahh, they'll get over it. They never stay away for very long. Who could blame them? I don't think any girl could ever stay away for long," Sirius said, crossing his arms over his head.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Let's go get breakfast Rissa."
"But I want to-" Marissa began but when Lily kicked her, she quickly said, "Ow, okay. Let's go." So they got up and left the Marauders in the common room and went to get their breakfast.
"What's Lily's problem anyway?" Sirius demanded. "Most girls would love for me to pay this much attention to them."
James sighed. "Sirius, Lily's different. She likes poetry and romantic letters and-" James broke off as he saw Sirius smile like he did when he had an idea, which was bad since his ideas usually turned out badly somehow. "What?" he asked with a hint of nervousness.
"Oh, nothing," Sirius said, rubbing his chin, in a voice that said that it was really something.
"Good," James said, pretending not to have taken the hint.
"It's just that…" Sirius said slowly. "Well…you like poetry and romantic letters too right? And you can write them really well…" Sirius said, trailing off suggestively.
"What?" James said, jumping in his seat. "No way, uh uh, no way now how! No way I am going to write love letters for you!"
"Why not?" Sirius asked. "You're great at writing stuff like that!"
"So much could go wrong with this plan," Remus told him.
"Name one," Sirius said.
"Well," Remus said slowly. "What if Lily finds out? Do you know how much that'll hurt her? Hmmm? Did you think about that?"
"Oh come on! James just has to write the letters, I'll do the rest!" Sirius said.
"You'll…do…the rest," James said slowly. "That does no one any comfort Sirius. If anything, that just makes this whole idea worse!"
"Oh come on Prongs! Just one. Write one! After that, I'll do the rest," Sirius said, begged almost, something Padfoot never ever did.
James sighed, running a hand through his messy jet-black hair. "Do you really like her? Truly?"
Sirius thought a minute. "Yes."
James sighed again. "Fine."
Sirius gave James a hug. "Thanks buddy."
"Just one," James told him sternly.
"Just one," Sirius agreed.
Remus sighed after Sirius and James had gone up to their dormitory room, talking about the letter James would write. "So much could still go wrong with this plan. And, knowing Sirius, he'll find every single way to make it go wrong without even knowing it."
