The beginning of summer was awesome; I slept in late and stayed up late. I loved it. But Sirius, James, Remus, Lily and Alyssa were supposed to arrive any minute. We were taking a plane because my dad forgot some floo powder and I really wanted them to experience it. It's a fun feeling. Ok, so I was kind of hoping that Sirius wouldn't be so tough and it would be a funny sight. The doorbell rang and I answered it. Lily and Alyssa were standing there, both of them wearing very revealing clothes. I laughed. Lily was wearing a white tank top that made her eyes and hair stand out even more. With short denim shorts. Alyssa wore a spaghetti strap shirt with short shorts.

"What? Not beach material?" Alyssa asked with her brow furrowed.

"No, its beach alright, I just haven't seen you guys outside uniform and its just a little weird." I said. They nodded and smiled while stepping through the threshold.

"The guys aren't here yet?" They asked. I shook my head no.

"Probably got lost." I said.

"Or doing their make up. You know them." Alyssa said. We laughed at the thought of it. Then the image of Sirius as a girl popped into my head. The doorbell rang again. Oh! They were here.

"Hello Girls!" Sirius called out when I opened the door. James eyes landed on Lily immediately. His eyes got bigger and bigger as his eyes traveled from her sandaled feet to her very revealing cleavage.

"Take a picture it lasts longer." Lily said when she noticed his eyes. He immediately looked away. Remus was staring at Alyssa. Alyssa used to have mousy brown hair, now her hair was a silky brilliant light brown that brought out her deep blue eyes. Sirius was looking at both of them. I wasn't wearing anything unusual. Just a light orange top and shorts. I loved my shorts because they had a zipper on the side of them, and the zipper went up to the belt to reveal my leg. I found them in Izzy's old pile of clothes. And I used them ever since.

"Are you guys ready to go?" I asked. They nodded. I grabbed my bags and called for my dad.

"Dad, this is Lily Evans, Alyssa Andretta, James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." I said pointing to each one as I said their name.

"Ah, James Potter. I know that name. yes of course, I had the pleasure of meeting your parents, very nice couple they are." He said grabbing his car keys. He was driving us to the airport.

"Yeah, they are great." James said smiling. My dad smiled back and then looked at me expectedly.

"Well, do you have you stuff packed? Lotion, nessecities? Keys? You cant get into the cabin or storage without keys. Do you have the money and the tickets? Train and airplane? Clothes? Suntna lotion? I do not want you coming home with a bad sun burn like last summer. Do you have the directions and your license? Passports? Everythign ready?" He asked me. I nodded to each one. He grabbed one of my bags.

"Very well, lets go." He said. We followed him to the car.

The airport was packed, although what airport wouldn't be? We were waiting in line to get checked when Sirius asked how an airplane worked.

"Well, you go up in the air and you fly. It will take us 10 hours to get to LAX." I said. He nodded he looked very pale. I knew that I should have gotten a pleasure from it but it was fun. The seating on the plane was three to a row. I sat in between Remus and Sirius. 5 rows ahead of us Lily sat in the middle of James and Alyssa. Sirius wanted the isle seat because he was scared but wouldn't admit it. Remus wanted the window seat because he wanted the view. James and Alyssa were in the same predicament. James was sick and Alyssa was too excited to sit on the isle seat.

Izzy was supposed to pick us up from LAX. With my new Expedition. I was excited to be driving. We had an hour before we landed. Remus was watching the view intently. I just woke up from a nap. Sirius was still sleeping.

"Hey sleepy head." He said. I smiled at him. I took out my CD player and started to listen to my Less Than Jake cd. My favorite song was 'the science of selling yourself short'.

"What are you listening to?" Remus asked me. I took one of the earphones out of my ear and put it in his. He started to move his head to the music. He liked it. We laughed along to the lyrics and had fun. Before we knew it we were landing.

Baggage claim was a nightmare. We didn't find Lily's bag and for an hour we searched. We finally found it on another flights claim. Which delayed the time in looking for Izzy. Luckily I told her to meet us about an hour late. We were now looking for Izzy.

"Ash!" I heard my name being shouted. I recognized the voice.

"Izzy!" I shouted back. We ran toward each other and hugged.
