AN: Thank you reviewers! =)
Oh, and SiriusLover13? Perhaps you should pay more attention to certain disclaimers. And, as a matter of fact, I have in fact heard people from Alabama call their home state Allerbammer. I thought it was mildly funny, and chose to make it a part of my fic.
Not to be rude or anything, but if you attack me in my reviews, I will correct you at the beginning of my new chapters, and therefore PO everyone as they surely want to read my new chapter rather than my rebukes of people who can't be bothered to read disclaimers, hmmmm?

Chapter Nine-The Obligatory Fireworks Date
~
"Well, that was exhilarating," Sirius announced as he climbed off the Peter Pan ride.
"Kind of made me feel homesick for a moment," James said. Everyone stared at him. "Uh, just kidding! Ha, ha. Who could ever miss a place like London, eh?" Then he kind of slunk into the background while Lily patted his arm.
"Anyway," Remus said, changing the subject, "there's a fireworks parade tonight. Are we going?"
"We are," Lily said, looking lovingly at James.
"Well. . ." Millie said, trying not to look in Remus' direction, "I was kind of wanting to go, but I don't want to be a third wheel or anything. I'm just here with my cousin-uncle and his wife-cousin."
James and Lily looked at Sirius, Remus, and Peter with wide-eyed, panicked expressions.
"Remus'll go!" Sirius said, pushing Remus to Millie.
"Wha-"
"Yeah!" Peter exclaimed, catching on. "He loves. . . fireworks. Dontcha Remus?"
"Wow, you actually said something that might have a double-entendre," Sirius said, impressed. "Nice, Pete."
"But I, well, that is, I, uh. . ." The light bulb clicked on. "I wanted to do some reading tonight! You know, read up on the, erm, history of DisneyWorld, and all its attractions, and -"
"And one of them is the Fireworks Parade!" Lily jumped in. "And you get to experience it, Remus!"
"Don't be such a stick in the mud," James agreed. "Let's all meet tonight to watch the parade. All four of us."
"Yeah, all- wait, four of us?" Sirius gasped, counting everyone. "But there's six!"
"Well, unless you and Peter want to go together-" Remus snickered as Sirius and Peter immediately sprang to opposite sides of the group.
"So what are me and Sirius supposed to do then?" Peter whined.
"Well, you could always stay in the hotel room," James smiled wickedly. Then he looked at the girls. "Well, ladies, let's go freshen up, and then meet back here at, oh, six." Then, as they walked up to their respective rooms, James pulled Lily aside. "We'll get 'lost' five minutes after the parade starts."
"Okay, love." They kissed and parted.
After the boys entered their room and had shut the door, Remus exploded. "What the bloody *hell* do you think you are doing, Sirius!"
Sirius gasped. "Remus. . . you swore."
"You better damn well believe it! I do not want that. . . personage getting some silly notion into her head that I love her and want to go on fireworks dates with her! And I most certainly do NOT like the fireworks you were insinuating, Peter!" he glared. Then as James began to snicker, Remus realized his mistake. "Well, that is, not with her. That is to say, I'm not very experienced in that matter, but I definitely do not want to become - Oh, WHY couldn't you have set me up with someone beautiful and intelligent?" Remus wailed, throwing his hands in the air and flinging himself on the bed.
"Because no such woman exists, mate," Sirius said cheerfully. "Hate to break it to you."
"Lily is beautiful and intelligent!" James said.
"Love is blind."
James' jaw dropped. Then he attacked Sirius, and a wrestling match ensued, James winning when Sirius admitted his joke was cruel and evil. "I am going to shower," James announced, walking into the lavatory.
"Have fun!" Sirius yelled, bitter at his loss.
"MEANWHILE," Remus cut in, "back to me. What am I going to do about Millie?"
"Dress up, wear my cologne, transfigure yourself into me and try to act sexy. Or pay me a scandalous amount of money and I'll give you some of my hair and you can make a Polyjuice Potion," Sirius said.
"I suppose that would scare her off," Remus said thoughtfully. "No, it wouldn't work. Polyjuice takes over a month to make."
"Ha, ha. So you want to scare her off, eh?"
"Of course I want to scare her off, Padfoot, you idiot! I do not like this woman at all!"
"All right. Let's think." Sirius sat in deep thought.
They thought.
And thought.
Eventually, Peter became hungry and wandered off.
Twenty minutes later, James was still singing in the shower.
"I got nothing," Sirius said.
"Me either."
They sighed. "Maybe if you just be yourself," Sirius said in his trying-to-be-profound voice, "that will scare her away."
"Excuse me?"
"Like your werewolf self."
"Oh nice," Remus said sarcastically. "Yeah, I'll just randomly make myself turn into a great hairy beast that eats all human flesh in its path, and by the way it is very painful to turn into, just for the sake of scaring away one girl? Right. Why did I think of that?"
"Well, it sounds dumb when *you* say it!" Sirius said defensively.
"Maybe because it IS dumb!"
"Is not."
"Is so."
"Not."
"So."
"Hey, guys!" Peter said, walking in on their almost fight. "Listen to this!" He held up a Popsicle stick and began to read. "'What did the artist name his son?'"
"Picasso," Sirius said, annoyed.
"No! 'Art'! Hahaha!" Peter began to laugh.
Remus and Sirius just stared at him until he quieted. "That was dumb, wasn't it?"
"Yeah."
"What about this one," Peter said, pulling out another stick. "'What did the hungry computer say?'"
"Bite me!" Sirius yelled, irritated even more.
"Close. 'Give me a byte'!"
Sirius' eye twitched.
"Right." Remus banged on the bathroom door. "Hurry up, other wizards have to take a shower too, you know!"
"I'll be out in a minute!"
"And for the love of Hogwarts, STOP SINGING 'SPELL ON MY HEART!'" Sirius bellowed as James began to sing again.
