A/N: Thank you for reviewing.

Yay! One more day of school and nine more days until the Order of the Phoenix come out! I'm so happy!

Sorry. I was about to update, but for some reason, fanfiction.net wouldn't let me.

To Alriadne: Thank you so much! Your review was really helpful. Yes, I know. A few other readers/reviewers had told me that I switch my tenses sometimes. So does my English teacher. I try my best, I really do. I still have some problem with it, though I promise I will try to edit my chapters better. And, about the characters thing, yes, I know. I have some problems with that too. I will try harder to develop them more. Once again, thanks for your wonderful review. If you see anything else, I hope you wouldn't mind giving me some more suggestions. I'd love to improve my writing.

Chapter 16

Saturday came. The girls woke up late to a beautiful day.

"'Morning," Bella said cheerfully, meeting the girls in the living room. They were all still in their pajamas.

"'Morning," Lily and Lorie replied.

"When are the boys picking us up?" Bella asked.

"Boys?" Lorie asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Er, yeah. Remember? Today's the triple date."

"Oh yeah!"

"Yeah…" Lily said. "They're picking us up for breakfast and then the amusement park, right?"

"Well, it's a bit late for breakfast," Bella said, looking at the clock on the wall. "It's almost lunchtime."

"Oh right."

"So when are they coming?"

"Er…in about an hour and a half."

"An hour and a half??" cried Lorie. "Well, what are we doing here? We need to get ready!" Then she rushed off to the bathroom, mumbling something about not looking nice enough for Remus.

"You know," Bella said to Lily, "I think Lorie likes Remus."

"Yeah, and it's that he likes her too."

"Hehehe…they'll look so cute together."

"Yeah…" Then they went to look for some outfits.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Wear this, Lily," Bella said, holding up a knee-length, white skirt and a matching tank top. "It's very cute. And today's pretty warm, so it'll be fitting."

"All right," Lily agreed. She held up a pair of red pants and a white tee shirt. "Here, Lorie. This'll look nice on you."

"Thanks," Lorie said. Then she handed Bella a pair of faded blue jeans. "Wear this with your light pink tank top. You'll look so fine, Sirius will get a nose bleed." They all burst out laughing.

When they were done with clothing, the girls moved on to a bit of cosmetics. When they were all done, the girls sat in the living room to wait for James, Sirius, and Remus to pick them up.

About twenty minutes later, the boys showed up.

"Hey," James said. "Are you girls ready?"

"Yeah," Lily said, taking James' arm. "Let's go."

"Where are we having lunch?" Bella asked.

"Er," James said, "we're just going to have some of those--waddaya call 'em?--oh yeah, pizzas at the park."

"Oh," Bella said, looking a bit disappointed. She thought they were going somewhere special.

"No need to look down, Bella," Sirius said, grinning. "We have better plans for dinner."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Wow!" Lily exclaimed. "This park is beautiful!"

"Yeah," Lorie agreed. "Where to first?"

"Let's have lunch first," Sirius said. "I'm hungry!"

"Good idea," Remus said. "Wow, I'd never thought I'd ever say those words together to Sirius."

"Shut up."

"Yeah, well it is a good idea," James said. "We should eat before we go on any of the rides."

So the went to one of the many pizza places and sat down to order their food. When they were all done, Bella said, "Where should we go now?"

"Well, since we just ate, I don't think it's smart to go on any of those," James said, pointing to a huge roller coaster nearby.

"Nor should we go on the water rides," Lily added. "We should leave that for the afternoon, when the sun is high."

"I think," spoke up Remus, who had been looking at a pamphlet, "that we should go to the bumper cars. It's not too rough, and it sounds really fun. We should also try the fun house and the haunted mansion. After that, we should go on those roller coasters. Then on the way to the water rides, we can try those mid-way games. And after the water rides, we should finish up with the Farris wheel."

"Sounds like fun," Lorie said, smiling.

"All right then," Sirius said. "Let's go."

So they head over to the bumper cars and got in line. After quite a long wait, the six finally got seated. As the bell rung, the little cars began to shoot everywhere. The funniest part was when Sirius' car got jammed and got hit by a bunch of people. Then the group headed over to the fun house. James jumped when he saw his image in one of those funky mirrors. He was short and plump. Sirius laughed until he saw his reflection in a similar mirror and cried out in surprise. They went to the haunted mansion next. James and Lily rode in a cart, while Sirius rode with Bella, and Remus with Lorie. Sirius came out claiming that it was not at all scary, but when he was in the bathroom, Bella told the rest that Sirius was clinging onto her arm when a mutant skeleton popped out at them. Everybody laughed.

"What's so funny?" Sirius asked, coming out of the bathroom.

"Nothing, Sirius," James said, containing his laughter. "Nothing."

They tried the roller coasters next. After the third one, Lily said that she couldn't take it anymore. So they went to find the water rides. On the way, they played a bunch of sideway games. Each of the Marauders won their dates a stuffed animal. James got Lily a little green frog; Remus got Lorie one of those long curling snakes; and Sirius got Bella a penguin.

"Aw…" Bella said, hugging the penguin. Then she hugged Sirius. "Thank you, baby. I'll name it Lil' Sirius. Reminds me of you."

"Yeah, yeah," Sirius said, as the other laughed. "You guys--" but then he saw a man carrying some cotton candy. "Ooh!" Sirius cried, like a little kid. "Cotton candy!" He chased after the man and got some.

They moved along to the water rides next. It was so much fun, but everybody got soaking wet. They quickly went to the bathroom to magic themselves dry, trying not to catch anyone's attention. While in the boys' bathroom, Sirius whispered to James, "So, did you get it yet?"

"Yeah," James said.

"When are you giving it to her?"

"On the Farris wheel. It's supposed to stop for about ten minutes or so when we reach the top. That's why Remus planned it last."

"Cool."

When everybody was done, the six went to the Farris wheel. James got into one with Lily, Sirius with Bella, and Remus with Lorie. The wheel spun slowly, giving the riders a great view of things.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A/N: A bit cliffhanger. Hope it's well edited. The next chapter will be what's going on during the Farris wheel ride. It is extra fluffy and romantic. So please review.
