A/N: Thank you for reviewing. I really appreciate it.

I found this really sweet poem online and I thought that I might share it with you guys. Pity I didn't write it; I don't know who did.

"A kiss is just a kiss

'Til you find the one you love

A hug is just a hug

'Til it's with the one you're thinking of

A dream is just a dream

'Til you make it come true

Love is just a word

'Til it's proven to you"

I was about to have James recite this to Lily at their wedding, but thought against it in the end.

Chapter 22

The after party (a/n: is that what you call them? The party thingy that you have after someone's wedding?) was a blast. Everybody congratulated James and Lily, and told them that they made a wonderful couple. Lorie, being the professional photographer, took many pictures and promised that she will pass them out after it's had been developed. James had drunk a lot. He and Sirius kept drinking and drinking. By the time everybody else had gone home, the two were both giddy and tipsy. The Marauders and the girls said good-bye to the Potters and then went to James' and Lily's new home. James and Lily quickly changed into some muggle clothing for they are heading straight to Tahiti for their honeymoon. They were going to apparate to a safe point and then go to a muggle hotel.

"Don't worry," Bella said. "We'll take care of your home."

"Bye-bye, Jamesie!" said Sirius, who was very red in the face and could barely stand without Remus' support. "And I--hic--wanna hear all about it when you--hic--come back!"

"Sirius!" Remus scolded in disgust.

"James…" Lily said, ignoring them, "Do you think you can apparate?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you apparate?"

"Hmm…mm…"

"God…" said Lily with a pained expression. "Shouldn't've let you and Sirius drink that much…" She sighed. "C'mon, James."

And with a little help from Lily, the two were out of site.

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

James and Lily apparated into a wizard village in Tahiti and then walked to a muggle resort nearby. Lily led James into a hotel and walked up to a woman behind a desk (a/n: I forgot what those people are called. Sorry!).

"Good evening," she said pleasantly. "How may I help you?"

"Hi," Lily replied. "We booked a room here the other day? It's under Potter."

"Ah…" The woman looked through a book. "Yes, yes, I see…room twelve…I'll have somebody take you there." She called a man to help Lily take the luggage up to the room.

"Thank you," Lily said, as she gave the man a tip and said good-bye. As he closed the door behind him, Lily turned to James and said, "Well…let's pack away the stuff first."

James was barely standing. Lily saw this and helped him over to the bed.

"Here," Lily said. "You can rest. I'll put the stuff away."

When Lily was done, she stood in the middle of the room, observing it. Lily walked over to the window and drew it back, looking at the night sky. She sighed again. Lily looked at James, wondering whether he's really asleep; he wasn't snoring, so she couldn't tell. Lily wasn't sure of what to do now. She walked over to James and sat down on the bed.

"James?" she said quietly. James said nothing. The silence was awkward.

"I'm going to take a shower," she said. "If you need me, James, just call, okay?" As Lily stood up to get some clothes, something stopped her. James was holding onto her wrist tightly, eyes still shut.

"James?"

He gave a tugged and pulled her down right beside him. Before Lily could get up again, he put an arm tightly around her.

"James?" Lily asked again, laughing.

He said nothing.

"C'mon James!" Lily said. "I know you can hear me. Stop it!" She struggled to get out, but he was holding on too tight. Lily gave up. "James! I want to take my shower!"

James finally spoke. "Come on, Lily. It's our--hic--honeymoon. We're married! I've--hic--been waiting forever for--hic--this night. Do you really want to--hic--spend it in the shower?"

Lily laughed. "Yes. Now, come on!"

James said nothing.

"James, get off! I want to take my shower!" She struggled some more. "Gosh James. You're so heavy!"

"That's--hic--muscles. And you can take your show--hic--er tomorrow. Lily, stay here--hic--with me, okay?"

"I want to shower now. It's been a long day." She sniffed him. "And you too! You stink James!"

James said nothing.

"Okay, I see I'm not going to get my shower. Can I at least change?"

"No."

"Why not??"

"Because if I get--hic--off then you will run."

"I will not!"

James said nothing.

"C'mon, James. You can trust me."

"All right." James removed his arm.

And he was right. Lily ran for the bathroom, but James was faster. He quickly grabbed her by the waist and start tickling her. Lily laughed.

"J-James! Hahaha…s-s-stop!"

"I knew I couldn't--hic--trust you."

"S-sorry! Now, just…haha…s-stop!"

James stopped tickling Lily, but was still holding on to her. He buried his face in the back of her neck.

"Okay, I see I can't get away," Lily said.

James spun her around and put his arms around her waist. "No, you can't," he said, "because I'll never let you--hic--get away." James kissed her lightly on the lips and lowered themselves back onto the bed.

A/N: Okay…that was weird…I didn't know how to write this chapter, but…hey…I made it… Can I ask you guys a favor? Would you mind helping me out a bit?

A lot of my reviewers like my story and encourages it to be sweet and fluffy. But a reviewer told me very kindly that some of my stuff is a bit cheesy. I noticed it too. How do you really feel about my fic? I really want an honest answer so I can improve. Please choose one of the below:

A) It's really cheesy! Lay low on the romance and fluff.

B) It's sweet and fluffy--I like it!

C) You're stories are okay, but it can be improved by ___________.

Another problem of mine is switching tenses. I'm sorry! I tried my best, I really do! It's just…well, grammar is really never my best (which is weird, since writing is). I promise, I'll try harder to improve on that. So..er…please review!
