Disclaimer: I own what I own
Author: A lot of reviewers have been asking me when James and Lily will get together. Actually, I don't think you guys caught it, but they're already together. It happened in one of the previous chapters, and it was small… it said something like, "James walked downstairs and sitting on the couch was his new girlfriend." I don't think that was it, but it was something like that. Sorry for the confusion!
Author: This chapter is short! Sorry about that. Please no flames!
=Chapter 31=
James pulled his pillow over his head one morning. "She's coming. I can feel her getting closer." He held up three fingers for himself to see. He ticked each down, and when the last finger hit his palm, the door slammed open.
"It's time to study!" Lily said, throwing her pillow at the lump she knew as her boyfriend, "Wake up, you worthless sack of crap!"
"What time is it," He asked, popping his head out of the blanket.
"4:25," She yelled, running over and pulling off his blanket. He twitched from the cold and searched the air for his blanket. Lily stared at the pathetic, shirtless figure… she then saw his pajama pants. "What's wrong with your pajama pants?" She asked, wrinkling her nose.
James crawled over to his cabinet so he could search for some clean robes.
=Flashback=
"PRONGSY, BUDDY!" Sirius ran over to his best friend who had just turned 14. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATE!" He handed James a present while doing a jig.
James opened the package wrapped in toilet paper and stared at his birthday present, "Pajamas. First off, where's the shirt, and second, why is your face sprinkled all over these?"
=End Flashback=
Lily smiled, "Just get dressed already. I'll meet you downstairs."
Shutting the door behind her, she piled books on the coffee table in front of a fire place and waited patiently for James.
=+=
"I gotta do something," James said, searching through his cabinet. Finding a palm-sized mirror, he looked into it, "Sirius Black."
Sirius's face was now visible in the mirror, "Awake too? Using the mirror??? You in some crap detention?"
James shook his head, "I need some help, but first… why are you awake?"
"Oh," an angry _expression formed in the young boy's face, "Wormtail got the map confiscated!"
"Please tell me you're lying."
"Let's talk about it later," Sirius sighed, "What did you need?"
"Lily wants to study," James said the last words in disgust, "Each and every morning since Valentines Day."
"Well, why don't you try to get her to talk about the past… like talk about the first time you guys met," he replied, "It works on a lot of girls. First they stop studying, then the next thing you know, you're being led to their bed and-"
"I'm not trying to go that far so early in the morning," James replied, "But I'll try your idea. In the meantime, go and try to form a plan with Moony to get back at Wormtail."
"You got it, mate," Sirius replied. The mirror went back to its normal state, and James headed downstairs.
"Lily," He said, flopping down on the armchair across from her, "Don't you find it surprising how far we've come? I mean, from the first time I met you. I remember that moment as one of my best memories."
"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Lily yelled, "The first time I ever lay eyes on you, my parents were about to kill you!"
"Huh?" James asked, "The first time we met was at the Great Hall after you got sorted. Don't you remember?"
"That may have been the first time you saw me, but it wasn't the first time I saw you! The first time I saw you…"
=Flashback=
"Are you ready to go to Hogwarts?" Mrs. Evans asked.
"We'll miss you, Lily-kins," Mr. Evans replied.
"I won't," Petunia muttered to the small red-head.
Suddenly, James and Sirius ran over to the car and began to rub up against it. They jumped on the car hood and pulled down their pants, revealing everything. The now stunned Evans family stared in anger, confusion, and disgust. The two boys then jumped off and ran toward 9 ¾.
=End Flashback=
"That's the first time you saw me?" James asked, holding back some laughter as he remembered the little prank. The first time I saw you.
=Flashback=
James sat next to Sirius at the Gryffindor Table. Taking a look at the person that sat in front of him, he saw a young Lily. Her face was semi-covered by her hair, and she didn't look at anyone. It was obvious she was too shy to say anything.
"What's her name?" James whispered.
"Lillian Evans, I think," Sirius replied back.
James then pushed the hair in Lily's face away, "Do you want some sausages, Evans?" He asked calmly. He placed a small sausage on her plate.
She smiled slightly, finally looking up, "Thanks."
=End Flashback=
"That happened," Lily replied, "But don't you remember what you said after that?"
James shook his head no.
=Flashback=
"Thanks," Lily said, so quietly so she was sure James didn't hear her.
"You know Evans," She looked up as James was placing a drumstick on his plate. "I'll be more than happy to let you have some of my sausage!" He said with a wink.
Lily took her plate and walked away to sit with Ness.
=End Flashback=
"Now that I think about it," Lily said, "I think that was the first time I met Ness! Thanks for saying that crap line so I could meet my best friend!"
"That's right! I did say that line, didn't I?" He asked, grinning to himself.
They heard the door slide open. Sirius and Remus walked in.
"You told them the password?" Lily asked, wide eyed.
"Of course I did!!" James said, getting up to meet his best friends, "Just like you told Ness and Belle." That shut Lily up on the spot.
"You guys talking about the past?" Sirius asked, "I wanna join!"
"Fine, whatever," Lily said. She stacked the book next to the fireplace. The two sat down on the couch. "Since you're going to join," Lily sighed, "When was the first time you guys ever saw us together?"
"Actually," Remus thought, "The first time I saw you two was the first time I actually had a conversation with Padfoot. We didn't talk to one another at daycare."
=Flashback=
"Nice to meet you, Sirius," Remus replied, shaking the boys hand as they left their first day of Transfiguration.
"Too bad you couldn't meet James," Sirius replied. "Where is he, anyways?" He searched around and spotted his messy-haired friend.
"Need help?" James asked Lily. A group of Slytherins pushed her books down, and now she was struggling to pick them up.
"Yeah, thanks," The young Lily replied, smiling slightly.
=End Flashback=
The couple thought for a moment, "Oh yeah," James said aloud, "I remember that!"
"Same here," Lily said, smiling. "When was the first time you saw me and James together, Sirius? Same story as Remus had?"
"No," He said.
=Flashback=
"Hey, James," Sirius yelled, "LET'S GO MESS WITH THOSE PEOPLE IN THAT CAR!"
"OKAY!"
The two boys ran over to the car and began rubbing up against it. Jumping on the hood, they began to unbuckle their belts and-
=End Flashback=
"I already told that story one time today," Lily interrupted him. "I'll just go back to sleep already."
They watched as she walked up the stairs and back into her room.
"Now tell me what happened to the map," James said, his calm _expression becoming filled with hatred.
"You got it," Sirius replied, "But first; let me tell you about our plan."

Ti: *Does a drunken jig while singing, 'IT'S RAINING MEN!' Thanks for the review! MEL'S GONE! BWAHAHAHA!
Danni is Divine, James is Mine: Sorry about it being so confusing! Didn't notice the… con…fusing..ness… confusingness! Is that even a word? Oh well! Hope this chapter was less confusing
Potterschick: Yeah, I know the rating doesn't go as high as 'x.' Sorry for the confusing-ness on your side! They did get together in one of the previous chapters. It says it in the chapter after the chapter with the cliffhanger… that last sentence was confusing. Hope you understood it as much as I did!
lilbird: Yeah, a lot of people have been saying that last chapter was confusing. So let me explain it: The plan was to see if James really did like Lily, and to see that, Ness, Belle, Remus, and Sirius didn't do anything to Lily. They decided that if James really liked her, it wouldn't be for some act. I hope that helped you!
sahana1: Oh dear! Try not to check everyday, because I haven't found the time anymore. I've been trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, and I can't decide! Have any suggestions? ANYWAYS! If you have an e-mail address, I can e-mail you whenever I have an update! I'll put the name of the story, the author penname, Chapter #, Chapter Title, and then the link to the new chapter. But if you don't have a penname, I'll try to figure out a way that you don't have to check everyday!
Gryffindors-Light: AHAHA! Melody left! *Dances* Ah! Who doesn't love being childish! I'm childish when it comes to getting sweets like candy, chocolate, ice cream, ETC! Oh well! I'm getting hungry, so I'd better stop talking about that! Thanks for the review!
ladyiris27: A few people have been asking about that last chapter, and what they did. So here's my little explanation (hoping it'll get my confusing writing set up right): Ness, Belle, Sirius, and Remus figured that if James really liked her, he'd like her for who she is, and not for an act. So, they did nothing on her to see if he would choose her or not… AND HE DID! AHAHAHA! I hope that cleared it up for you! Sorry about the confusion!
Shorty: Sorry, sorry! That last chapter was a bit short, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't as short as this one! AHAHAHA! Hope you like the story so far!
Windowseat Wonderer: YAY! You understood the last chapter! Thanks for the review, because I was starting to think that the last chapter was confusing for everyone! Thanks so much!
James-Padfoot: Ah! I couldn't think of a better design for the boxers. At first, I wanted flying cows, but I decided on the face! Funny thing is, a few days after I uploaded that last chapter, I turned on the TV, and there was this guy with his face in the crotch area of his boxers. I think… IT'S A SIGN! Or, maybe not! Thanks for the review!
Captain Oblivious: *Pats you on the head, jumps in a box, and drives off in a box-mobile* AHAHAHAHA! CATCH ME NOW!
Alia: Thanks for the review! *Does a drunken jig* really appreciate it~~~
LilyEvans221: Mel has left the story for now… and I think forever! Oh well! I don't know where I'm going with this story, really! I'm just writing down whatever pops into my head, and for some sad reason, that Boxer thing popped into my head. Thanks for the Review!
fizban hat: Yeah! I loved the boxers' idea. Funny thing happened: A few days after I uploaded that last chapter, I turned on the TV, and there was this guy with his face in the crotch area of his boxers. It was like some weird, idiotic, tormenting, beautiful, sign! Ah, well! Thanks for the review!
crimsonmyst: Ah, I CAN JUST PICTURE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH YOUR ROOM WHEN YOU'RE GONE, and after I stop crying. BWAHAHAHA! I'll probably help Sandle re-decorate her room, and then re-decorate your room… OR I'LL REDECORATE MY ROOM WHILE SHE REDECORATES YOUR ROOM, THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT EACH OTHER HAS DONE! AHAHAHAHA! Thanks for the review!
Emrisah: Thanks for the review! My valentines day was chocolate filled, a/k/a BEAUTIFUL!
Sallymander: Thanks for the review! I liked that part too, and I'll update whenever I can!
LJstagflwer4e/JCtigerwolf4e: For some weird reason, I don't know why Mel was there. Honestly, I write down whatever pops into my brain, and for some reason, she popped into my brain. Why did she pop into my brain; simply to screw up my nervous system... I think… Thanks for the review, and sorry the last chapter was confusing! A lot of people have been saying that!
Optical Illusions: Sorry! That last chapter was confusing to understand! That's what a lot of people have been saying. But the answer: They didn't do anything to Lily. They wanted to see if James really would stay with her for who she was, for an act, or go with Mel. He chose her! Hope that cleared it up!
MPPSexxySiriusJamesRemus: Thanks for the review! BWAHAHA! I couldn't think of a chapter title, so put that in, and pasted it in every reply to the reviewers! Hope you liked this chapter!
Andreablack: Thanks for the review! I'll update whenever I can find the time!
