A/N: Hey everyone! I'm so so so so sorry that I haven't updated for a few
days. My computer is completely, utterly, and totally against me. It
hates me. It loves everyone else in my family, but it hates me. See, I
have this story saved in Microsoft Word, and my computer wouldn't let me
open any Microsoft related programs, like Excel and Greetings. Today was
the first day it would let me. Let's hope it doesn't do it again. Evil
piece of metal.
Once again, if anyone else would like to be placed on my mailing list for this story, so I can let you know every time I update, please let me know, either in a review or an email.
Pairing: Lily/James (This is one of my favorite pairings. If you know any good L/J stories, or any good HP stories for that matter, let me know about them in a review or email. Thanks!)

Ch.13 Still Locked In
"What do you want to do?
"I don't know, what do you want to do?" It was three hours later and Lily and James were bored out of their skulls.
"I don't know, what do you want to do?"
"We've got to snap out of this." Said Lily, shaking her head rapidly.
"I've got it. Let's plot the doom of Sirius, Carly, and Remus." Said James.
"Great idea. What should we do?" replied Lily.
"We could lock the three of them in a bathroom and see how they like it."
"Nah," said Lily, "we need something original. How about we handcuff them together for a week? I think that was in a book I read once."
"No it wasn't, it was one of the pranks we played on Malfoy and Snape."
"Oh yea. I knew it sounded vaguely familiar." Said Lily thoughtfully.
"I know! We could lock them in a box, put chains around it, and drill holes in it for air, and then send them to Alaska. No wait, Antarctica, to live with the penguins."
"Perfect." Said Lily contentedly. A knock came on the door.
"How are you guys doing in there? It's Carly."
"And Remus, and Sirius!" came Sirius's indignant voice.
"Yeah, them too." Carly sighed.
"Come on guys, let us out! We're going crazy in here. There's nothing to do. And you took our wands!"
"That was my idea!" yelled Sirius through the door. He probably shouldn't have done that.
"I'll keep that in mind when I'm beating your brains out." Said James.
"Oh. Ok. Well, anyway, we're heading down for dinner now. If we're feeling extra nice, maybe we'll bring you guys some food back," replied Sirius nonchalantly.
"And how, may I ask, are you going to get it through the door?" Asked Lily, skeptically.
"Get a clue Lily-bean! Do you call yourself a witch? It's called magic, silly," said Carly with mock awe. Then Lily and James heard three pairs of feet plodding down the stairs.
"So I guess we're stuck here for at least another hour. Or more." Said Lily, disdainfully.
"Yep. Hey, do you want to just ask each other meaningless questions?"
"Why?" asked Lily.
"'Cause there's nothing better to do."
"Works for me. I'll start. What's your middle name?"
"Harry, after my grandfather. Honestly don't know how my dad could be his son. Grandpa was on the light side." James shrugged. It was the first time he'd mentioned his family to anyone, since he'd run away. "What's your favorite pair of pajamas?"
"Pajamas? My yellow ducky pajamas that Carly got me for my birthday last year. Who do you like?"
"W-Who do I l-like? N-Nobody." Said James nervously.
"Sure. If you don't answer, we won't play."
"Would you tell me who you like?" asked James, trying to prove his point.
"Well, no." Lily admitted.
"That settles that, then."
"We're baaaaack." Came Sirius's voice from the other side of the door.
Finally. Have you got food?"
"Yep. We were feeling extra generous this evening." Said Remus, but Lily couldn't help but hear the mock evil tone in his voice. A faint pop was heard. And then two plates and two glasses appeared in front of Lily and James. They groaned in unison.
"Generous! It's rice and water!" shrieked Lily. But it was too late, because they had already heard the plodding of feet going down the stairs.
Back in the common room, Carly, Sirius, and Remus were laughing hysterically. Carly collapsed on a couch, while the other two had to lean on each other for support as to not collapse.
"Ha! That'll show them to hide their feelings. How long do you think they'll last?" Asked Remus, near tears.
"Oh, I dunno," said Carly, finally calming down. "Maybe another day or so. I mean the ball is in only three nights. Lucky we went to Hogsmeade the other weekend, or they would've never had enough time to get new dress robes."
"Yea. Hey, anyone up for chess?"
A/N: Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed. Please review, because I'm hoping to get at least 5 reviews per chapter. And remember that every single review counts!
