Author's Notes: Okay, I've rethought this story over, and decided it's going to take a less fluffy approach from now on. Don't worry, it'll still be pretty happy. ^_^ The summary has been redone, and it's about the Marauders as a family, but that's all changing, as James wants to marry Lily, Peter has all of those issues with Voldie, Remus feels left out because he has no job, and Sirius…being Sirius. Anyways, right now the War is going on, but Sirius and James are still training. I supposed this is their first year out of Hogwarts, so they aren't doing too much as Aurors yet, although more than what normal trainees do—Order of the Phoenix coming soon. James knows about it, but Sirius doesn't.

Sirius grinned to himself, feeling the wind in his hair. Oh yeah. Life was good. Auror training was great—Mad-Eye let them do stuff they were allowed to do in Defense— not that it stopped them anyways. Amelia Bones was his head supervisor, despite being only two years his senior, and yeah, she was great.
Clouds drifted by, and the familiar hum of his motorbike thrummed below him. Sirius honked at a couple of birds, who squawked at this noisy intruder of the sky.
Yes, life was great.
Sirius fingered his new leather jacket—very popular among the Muggles. The Aurors were encouraged to learn about current Muggle trends and styles, so as not to look conspicuous when undercover. Sirius chuckled, remembering one episode when a woman asked Mad-Eye if he was starring in the Shakespeare play downtown.
Nothing could go wrong today.
Suddenly his bike gave a great shudder. It spluttered and stopped in midair.
Sirius blinked at looked down. It was very far away. "No, no, no…" he muttered. He pulled out his wand and poked the dashboard and sighed in relief when he heard the engine start again.
The birds flew back again. One large one squawked at him loudly.
"Shut up," said Sirius. "I can fly better than you."
It squawked back in a menacing tone. Sirius raised an eyebrow. Was this bird mocking him?
The engine stopped again. Sirius groaned. The bird squawked happily and flew off. "Stupid bird," he said, as the bike plummeted to the ground.

Author's Note: Sorry that was so short, but got lots of school and stuff to do. Thanks to my spiffy reviewers Nuklear Firefly, Abigail Nicole, oracle, and Windowseat Wonderer.
Hehe…thanks to Abigail for planting Sirius-disaster fics in my head. Don't worry, I'm not stealing your whole spiffy idea…it'd probably be a toaster instead of printer. ^_^ I'm trying to make this piece as light-hearted as possible, but there will be some dark bits.
Nuklear Firefly: Pineapples. :)
Oracle: I love Marauder-out-of-Hogwarts fics too. Hehe.
Windowseat Wonderer: Don't worry, Lily is coming soon! ^_^ If you really want a lot of Lily, check out Cry, my other story.
