The Marauders, Caitlin, and Lily got home around midnight; worn out. Caitlin, who had gotten quite drunk, was being carried by an even drunker Sirius. Remus shook his head, "I told you two not to have that Fire Whiskey drinking contest," he said. Caitlin smiled, "I stills says I beats Sir-I-us fares and squares," she said stumbling a bit in a drunken stupor. Sirius shook his head but nearly lost his balance doing so, "I saw you throw up your 6th glass," he said and then fell over onto the couch, falling asleep. "I hope Caitlin has some medicine," Lily said as Caitlin joined Sirius on the couch. "Why," asked Peter looking at Caitlin and Sirius curiously. "They are going to have one hell of a hang over in the morning," she said then yawned. "Well…I'm off to bed," she said and headed towards Caitlin's room. James and Peter went to their rooms and Remus went to his, but not before he wrote his letters.
Remus pulled out some parchment and a black quill. He went over to the window and sat on the floor, his back to the window, as he began to write:
Dear Romulus,
I have heard from my friend Lily's cousin that the Broadway shows are very good. I was wondering if you would like to attend one with me. I'm not quite sure what they're showing; I think it might be a show called "Chicago." I know it sounds strange, but Caitlin says that it's a great muggle musical. Would you like to meet me outside of the theater at 7:00? Then we can have a late dinner when it's done. Well it is late; I hope to have your reply tomorrow. Good night Rommie.
Sincerely,
Remus
Remus folded up the letter and went to find James's owl. He found it sitting in the living room, a beautiful female Great Horned Owl. James had named it Alethia, which means 'Truth.' Remus had suggested the name because the Owl always seemed to know when James was lying and would hoot at James in a disapproving way. Remus saw that the owl was awake and watching him with it's large amber eyes. He went over to Alethia and smiled, "Hello Alethia…would you mind delivering a letter to Romulus Kaynoin," he asked. Alethia hooted happily, Remus gave the letter to Alethia and took her over to the window. Alethia took off out the window towards the quarter moon. Remus tensed up, the moon was waxing, which meant in about a week. Remus sighed and went off to bed, he had a date tomorrow.

Remus rolled over in bed to find two big eyes staring into his, "ARG," he yelled jumping out of bed and falling onto the floor. Sirius sat up from his position on the bed and smiled, "Good morning sunshine," he said happily. Remus stood up clutching his heart, "Sirius what the hell is wrong with you…you nearly gave me a heart attack," Remus said. Sirius smiled, "I heard you mumbling in your sleep so I came to check on my precious little Remus," he said making a kissy face. ((A/N: NO THIS ISN'T A SIRIUS/REMUS FIC…SIRIUS IS JUST PICKING ON REMUS!!…Thank you)). Remus threw a pillow at Sirius who batted it away, "Come on…Caitlin made us breakfast…well sort of…she put these square bread like things into this shiny round box and then they popped up…the shiny box was cool," Sirius said smiling and getting off of Remus's bed. "That would be a toaster you idiot…but I don't know about those 'square bread like things' come on," Remus said.
The two walked into the kitchen to find Caitlin fully dressed and wide awake while Lily looked like she had rolled out of bed, James looked about the same as Lily because Sirius, as Remus found out, had pounced on him that mourning. Sirius and Caitlin smiled and Lily took some coffee, "How is it that you two go to be blind drunk and wake up without a hangover," Lily asked trying to keep herself from falling asleep in her coffee. James nodded in agreement and Sirius and Caitlin smiled devilishly, "We told you we could hold our liquor," Sirius said and got some coffee. Caitlin then went over to the toaster and picked up the plate of 'square bread like things' she put them on the counter in front of Lily and James who blinked. Caitlin smiled, "They're Pop-tarts, a muggle food that's be when made in the toaster," she said. Sirius sniffed at one then took a bite out of it, "Hey…it has strawberry filling," he said and scarfed it down. Remus picked one up as well and ate it, it was actually very good but kind of dry so Remus got some milk from the refrigerator. Remus looked over at Caitlin, "Why do you have so many muggle things around; first the coke then a toaster," he asked shutting the fridge. Caitlin smiled, "My sister is a muggle and likes to visit sometimes so I have these for her so she feels more comfortable," she said and took a pop-tart herself.
They ate all the Pop-tarts on the plate before Sirius remembered, "Crimmney…I forgot to wake up Peter…be right back," he said and smiling he dashed off to Peter's room. After a few minuets they heard a loud yelp and a crash, all-coming from Peter's room. Sirius walked in looking rather smug, "Peter's up," he announced and grabbed another pop tart. Peter came in a few moments later, his hair ruffled and the comforter from the bed was dragging behind him. Caitlin smiled, "Sirius…you're making the beds this morning," she said. Sirius stuck his tongue out but whet off to the bedrooms anyway to 'make the beds.'
At around ten o'clock Alethia, James's owl, arrived with a letter in her beak. James was surprised to see his owl outside the window, "Hey…I didn't let you out," he said letting Alethia in. Alethia hooted and flew over to Remus dropping the letter onto his lap. James raised an eyebrow, "Remus…why does Alethia have a letter for you," he asked. Remus didn't reply, he was too busy opening the response letter from Rommie. He pulled it out and unfolded the letter:
Dear Remus,
Chicago sounds great. I'll meet you on Broadway. You can bring your friends if you want.
Love Rommie
Remus smiled and was about to pocket the letter when he heard someone shout, "Accio Letter." The letter flew out of Remus's hands and into Sirius's. Sirius read it and smiled, "Hey guys…Remus is going on a date," he said. Remus stood up, "Yeah…and your not coming," he said turning bright red. Sirius smiled, "Oh come on Remus…I might want to see this 'Chicago,' too," Sirius said. Remus blinked but then retorted, "Like you would be interested in a musical," he said. Sirius smiled, "I'm always willing to try something new," Sirius turned to Caitlin. "Oy! Caitlin wanna go on a date with me to see Chicago tonight," he asked. Caitlin, who had been putting away the washed coffee mugs dropped the mug, "err…uhh…sure Sirius," she said blushing slightly as she pulled out her wand and fixed the mug. Lily clapped her hands together, "Oh that's sounds wonderful…a musical on Broadway," Lily clamped herself to James's arm. "Come on James…let's go too," she asked looking up at him with her bright green eyes. James turned red and nodded. Remus blinked, "I didn't even invite you," he said glaring at Lily and Sirius. Sirius smiled, "But I bet you were going to," he said. Remus paused, he had thought about asking his friends along, they would help break the ice of a date. James smiled, "You were going to ask us weren't you Remus," James asked poking his friend. Remus gave a small smile, "Sure why not…let's go see the musical," he said.
Caitlin looked happy but then frowned, "What about your friend Peter," she asked looking over her shoulder to see Peter eating a cupcake. Peter blushed and finishing his cupcake he responded, "I…I…err…it's not like I have anyone to go with…so…if it's alright…I'll just…stay here," he said stuttering a bit. Caitlin looked like she was about to protest but James shrugged, "Suit yourself," James said. So the 2 couples and Remus began discussing what the musical would be like.
