"James and Mandy standing by a tree; F-I-G-H-T-I-N-G. First come kicking,
then comes punches, then comes James, walking with crutches." Ten year old
Lily, Tamari, Remus and Sirius sang as Mandy put Jams in a headlock.
"I thought that you were on my team!" James yelled, shocked at Sirius and Remus.
"I'm sorry James but Mandy's a girl. A very strong manly girl that can snap you like a twig." Remus apologized.
"I feel so loved. Listen Mandy I'm sorry that I called you a butch, it was insensitive of me and I'll never do it again if I live through this."
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes. I swear!" James managed to squeak out.
"Alright, I'll let you live.. .this time." She said as she released him.

"I'm sorry that I called you a butch, it was insensitive of me and I'll never do it again if I live through this." Seventeen year old James apologized. He, like the rest of them, didn't change much over the years. He still had messy black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and wire rim glasses. He did get a better built but was still powerless against Mandy.
"Oh honestly James," Mandy sighed, "You were saying that since we were four. Can't you come up with anything better?" She asked as she swung her shoulder length chocolate brown hair over her shoulders with a flip of her head. She had olive eyes and developed freckles over the summer.
"How about I love you?" James asked as he tried to squirm free.
"No you don't." She said as she tightened her hold.
"Please Mandy. I'll be your personal slave for all time." James pleaded under her strength causing Tamari to laugh. Tamari was half Hawaiian and had brown eyes and curly brown hair that went half way down her back.
"You already are." She reminded him.
"Then what do you want me to do?" He asked outraged.
"The dance is coming up." She said simply.
"Aren't you going with Sirius?" He asked looking at his friend with pale blue eyes and shoulder length black hair.
"Yes but my friend.. " She continued.
"But Tamari is going with Remus." He reminded her as she looked at his friend who had amber eyes and brown hair.
"But my other friend doesn't have a date, like you. And she really does like you James."
"Wait, back up a minute here. Are we talking about Lily Evans?"
"Yes."
"Oh you can forget it. I'm not going with her."
"Listen James Honey. You have two choices her; you can said yes and take her to the dance and be a gentlemen or you can say no and I'll chock you to death and in this heat it wont take long." She said whipping the sweat off her forehead that only the heat of the last week of August could bring.
"Fine. I'll take her." He said causing Mandy to release him from her grasp.
"Good. She changed a lot over the summer." She said as James snuck up behind her, unnoticed, and put her in a headlock.
"Say that I don't have to take Lily to the dance and I'll let you go. But you have to mean it." He demanded.
"Never."
"Then what do you plan on doing?" He asked her.
"This." She said simply before licking his bare arm.
James let go of her in disgust. "She licked me!" He cried horrified.
"Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick. When was the last time you bathed?" She asked as she cleaned her tongue with her shirt.
"May," he told her without blinking. "While will that bother the blimp."
"She's not a blimp and yes, it'll bother her." Mandy told him as she and Tamari walked away.
"I can't believe this James," Sirius laughed as he clapped him on the back. "You have to go to the dance with Lily the blimp."
"It's going to be the most humiliating thing in the world." Remus told him as the all walked to James house.
`````````````````````````
"James it's too late to turn back she's already here." Tamari told him through the walkie-talkie looking at him through the window. She was at Mandy's house, next-door to James'.
"Please. Tell her I'm sick." James begged.
"No James." Mandy said coming in to sight through the window and grabbing the walkie-talkie. "You said that you'd do it and there's no way out of it."
"Please. wait, why are you holding a blanket?" He asked, realizing that she was holding a blanket on her chest.
"Because I'm changing Stupid." She snapped.
"Whoa, you get changed in your bedroom with other girls?" James asked a little too excited.
"We'll be there in a minute." She said before shutting off her end of the conversation.
James sighed as he fell on to his bed. In a few minutes he will be seen with 'Lily the Goodyear Blimp' in front of everyone who was going to the dance. 'At least no one else from Hogwarts will be there' he comforted.
"James buddy what's wrong?" Sirius asked as he came into the room.
"Mandy changes in her bedroom and I've never bothered to watch." He realized. "And the girls are coming over..they're here." He corrected himself as he heard the door open.
"Oh my god Lily!" Remus exclaimed from the stairs leading downstairs.
"It's time to meet your doom buddy." Sirius said as he left. "Good gravy Lily!" James heard him say as he, apparently, saw her.
"It's now or never." He told himself. "Who am I kidding; it's now if Mandy has anything to do with it." He said as he got off his bed. He hung his head as he walked over to where the stairs started; he lifted his head, walked down a few steps, and gasped.
Lily changed. She was no longer the Goodyear blimp but a twig. She must of lost two hundred pounds; she used to be twice the size of Mandy and Tamari but now she was almost the same size of them. She still had her flaming red hair and emerald green eyes that were more noticeable without her second chin.
"Holy. Lily you've changed.. a lot." He gasped.
"Thanks James." She blushed. "You're not saying that to be nice are you?" She asked.
"No, you look amazing Lily, you don't even look like you used to." He said as he reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Thank you. Should we be going now?" She asked Tamari.
"Yeah, let's go."

A/N: Well there you are, the first of hopefully many chapters of "Catch me when I fall". I had so much with the last Lily/James story that I wanted to write a new one. Please review or flame if you must.
