A/N: Thank you all my reviewers. You guys are wonderful.

Okay, I'm feeling pretty down today. I never said that I except flames, but I never said that I don't either. You guys have been so terrific though, that I haven't seen a single flame, both I Knew I Loved You and this one. But today, I found out that I have one flame, and it made me feel very sad. You guys can see it if you click the little review button up there. However, I accept everybody's thoughts and opinions. I just hope that I can improve.

To Alexandra Black: Since you flamed, I don't think that you will be back to read more. I just want to put a little note here incase you do. I'm sorry that my story isn't one of those where the Marauders are players. Everybody have their own view of things, and this is how I see the Marauders. I've also read some stories, in which the Marauders are players, and I must agree that some of them are the best. That, however, doesn't mean that the ones without them being players aren't good. I've read some incredibly fabulous stories where the Marauders are very sweet, and unfortunately for you, this is one of them. I am very proud of my stories, and very sorry that it does not meet your demands. I sincerely wish you good luck on finding stories according to your likings.

Okay…now that I've got that out of my system, I would like to add that I've posted up chapter one of my new story. It's nothing much, just a prologue. The plot of the story is very unoriginal, but I think that I made it a bit different from the others. So just, please, give it a glance for me, okay?

Chapter 4

After the girls had put their stuff away, everybody settled in the kitchen for a lunchtime snack that Mrs. Potter had prepared.

"So, girls," Mrs. Potter said warmly, "how's your summer going?"

"Erm…fine…" Lily and Bella said shyly.

"C'mon, Lily," James said. "It's just my mum. You don't have to be shy."

"Yeah, Bella," Sirius added. "James' mum loves having us over. Don't 'cha, Mrs. P.?

Mrs. Potter laughed. "Yes, they're right. There's no need to be uncomfortable."

"Erm…okay," Lily said.

"Well," Bella began brightly. "I certainly trust my Sirius!"

Everybody laughed.

"Oh yeah…" Sirius remembered. "Lily, in your letter, you said that Bella found a new man…"

James burst out laughing, while Lily and Bella shook silently with laughter, trying to control themselves. Remus and Peter just sat there confused.

"Were you serious?" he continued.

"Yes," Bella said. "I met the most incredible guy. Tall, dark, and handsome, he is."

"You best be talking about me," Sirius said angrily.

"What if I'm not?" Bella said, smiling.

"Come." And Sirius dragged Bella out the backyard. Inside, James, Lily, and even Remus and Peter, can't take it anymore. They were all rolling on the floor laughing.

"Bella, who is this guy?" Sirius asked.

"What guy?" Bella said.

"This--this new guy you met!"

"I met?"

"Yes, you!"

"You?"

"Yes--no, you!! The new guy you met! Who is he?"

"Who is who?"

"The new guy!"

"What new guy?"

"The new guy you met!"

"Met what?"

"The new guy!!"

"What guy?"

"BELLA!!"

(a/n: hehe…I do this to my friends all the time…they get hecka pissed…)

Bella laughed. "Oh, Sirius! There's no new guy. I just added that little P.P.S for fun. You know I love you."

"You were joking?! You made me go through all that, and you were only joking??"

Bella nodded, still smiling.

"Oh, you are so going to pay for that!" And then he chased Bella around the backyard. When he finally caught her, Sirius tackled her onto the grass and tickled her madly.

"Hehehe…Siri…heheh…Sirius! Hehehe..s-stop…hehe…"

"On one condition," he replied, still tickling her.

"Hehehe…wha…what is…hehe…it?"

"This." Sirius stopped tickling her and bend down to give her a long, deep kiss. After a long time, he finally pulled away.

"That was payback," he said, "for making me go crazy."

"Well, I like your idea of revenge," Bella said. "I'll just have to hope that no other girls get on your nerves."

"You better."
