~Fair~
James locked the door behind him, and they headed down the driveway. After Jeffrey left, they discussed what they wanted to do. The girls suggested a movie, but the boys suggested the fair. The fair was in town for the week. They had convinced the girls to come to the fair, and finally, they persuaded them. They started there walked down the street and up a hill. Finally they reached the fair.
"Man, those entrance tickets are cheap!" Bella said, speechless. It had only cost them $2 each. They walked over to the ticket booth and bought as much tickets as they could.
"Wow, look at this place! A Ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, a petting zoo! This place has everything!" Lily cried happily. She had already walked over to the slides, watching little kids slide down. James placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Well, what first?" he asked.
"How about the merry-go-round!" Michelle suggested. The boys looked at her like she was crazy. All 3 of the girls agreed to go on the merry-go- round with or without the boys.
"Fine, I'll go on." Remus said placing his hand in hers. They both smiled.
"I guess we'll go to." Replied Sirius who pulled James along into the line up. After about 5 minutes they finally got on the merry-go-round. Michelle and Remus had taken up 2 plastic ponies beside each other; Bella and Sirius had taken the last 2 peacocks. Unfortunately, James and Lily had to share a pretend carriage ride, since everything was already taken. There, they shared a conversation.
"So.what do you think of my neighbor?" Asked James.
"Jeffrey is really adorable and friendly. I still can't believe that story of you and him both camping together." Lily replied. She let out a soft chuckle.
"Well, I was a little scared, you know how it is. Your so far away from home that anything will scare you." James said. He was trying to cover the fact that the story had scared him.
"I guess so." Lily said quietly. Neither of them spoke for the rest of he ride. Once the merry-go-round came to a stop, they both looked at each other a smiled. They decided that they would go on the slide and then have lunch. Once they finally got to the line up, it was already a 20- minute wait.
"Well," Bella said, "we could always go get something to eat now." Everyone agreed and they headed for the concession. Remus and Michelle made their way over to the hamburger stand with Sirius and Bella, leaving Lily and James together, once again.
"What are you having?" Lily asked.
"I was thinking of just getting a pop and buying something to eat later." James replied. Lily let out a soft sigh.
"Why?" James asked.
"Well, I wanted to share a popcorn, but if your not hungry then-" Lily was interrupted.
"Sure, fine with me!" James said, showing a small smirk to make Lily feel better.
"Really, thank you so much!" Lily gave James a big hug and got in line. James could feel his cheeks burning with embarrassment, but he still joined Lily in line.
"What do you think happened?" Asked Sirius. He was sitting at a picnic table with the other 3.
"I have no idea, but I think James actually did something nice for once." Replied Sirius. Remus and himself let out a little laugh but the girls shot them deadly glares and the laughter fell. They were watching Lily grab the pop and popcorn and leave the line. James soon grabbed the popcorn and they walked over to the picnic table.
"What did you guys get?" Remus asked, pretending to be curious.
"Popcorn and a pop. What does it look like?" replied James. He made Sirius scoot down the bench pushing off Bella t make room for Lily, but Lily had already taken a seat on the other side. He felt a bit disappointed, but he showed no sign of it.
Once everyone was done, they went to the petting zoo. It was, of course, the girl's idea. They started with the chickens. The girls just looked at them, not even bothering to look at all of them. Next were the sheep and goats. The girls were fond of the sheep, especially the baby ones. The boys found the goats most intriguing, since most of the time they would make the goats run towards to girls, scaring them half to death. They then spent a few short minutes with the pigs and cows. But, the best thing out of the petting zoo was the ponies and horses. The girls loved them. The boys on the other hand, tried to think of ways to scare the girls. Nothing they thought of was relatively good.
"Hey, lets head to the Ferris wheel!" Michelle cried happily. Michelle and Bella loved the Ferris wheel. Lily, on the other hand, needed some persuading. Which didn't take long for James. Once they were in line, Lily was watching the people flow up and down along the round bars. She felt sick.
"James, I don't like this idea." Lily pleaded.
"Common, it will be fun." James said.
"No, seriously James, I feel sick" Lily trying her best to pass out, leaned over and rested her head on James' shoulder. He started to think that she wasn't feeling well.
"Sirius, I'm going take Lily to the bench to sit down. Meet us over there when you're done." James said. He was a little bit disappointed about not going, but he thought about the first time he went on and how scared he was that he decided to give Lily the benefit of the doubt. James wrapped his arm around her and pulled her along to the nearest bench. He sat down with her beside him and she still had her head on his shoulder. They both watched, as the line got shorter and shorter for the other 4. Finally, they watched Remus, Michelle, Bella, and Sirius go around about 6 times on the Ferris wheel before coming over to meet them. Michelle and Bella said they would take Lily to the First Aid counter, to make sure she felt ok. The boys watched as the girl left for the other side of the crowd.
"Hey, lets go play some games!" Sirius said, joyfully. They all agreed and walked over to the Balloon Pop. After about 3 games, James one a Pink Teddy Bear that had a picture of a balloon in the middle. They walked in and out of the crowd, looking for the girls.
"Hey, there you guys are!" Michelle said from behind them.
"Hey, where are the other 2?" Asked Sirius.
"There still at the First Aid Room. Common!" Michelle said leading the way back across the fair grounds. Once they reach the First Aid Booth, they saw Lily and Bella.
"How are you feeling?" asked Remus, looking concerned.
"The doctor says I'm dehydrated. He says I need to drink more water." Lily said letting out a little giggle. Remus sighed and everyone looked much calmer than before. James realized that he still had the Pink Bear in his hand.
"Oh, um, Lily, I got this for you." James said, his cheeks were burning again.
"Thanks, James!" Lily replied. She walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She also blushed. When Lily turned around to sit down, Sirius nudged James and winked. James just shook his head. He knew what Sirius was thinking. He knew that she might have like him a little bit, but he would never have the guts to ask her out.
Once the fair had started to shut down, they started on their walk home. Again, Remus and Michelle leading everyone down the hill, with Sirius and Bella bickering about which ride was better. Lily was holding the Teddy Bear tightly. She looked a little pale.
"Are you Ok?" James asked, giving her some concern.
"Yeah, still a little dizzy though." She said, giving him a soft smile. He wrapped his arm around her waist and let her put her head on his shoulder. They walked that way the whole way home, and nobody saw it happen.
