Disclaimer: Oh the shame, I don't own any of this! I'm just an obsessed
fan! SUE ME! Wait, on contraire, don't. (Don't ask where that came from)
I just took a look at my last chapter and realized there where no spaces. Disgusting. I must have done something wrong. I might interrupt you in the middle of the story for something. I might not. I haven't decided yet.
IMPORTANT:::::::::::: Okay, now I'm going to put my I am very sorry post at the top of this. Please don't kill me for taking FOREVER to post. I have reasons why. Well, see, I've changed SO DAMN MUCH since I started writing this story...it feels like when I started liking different things, interest in where this story was going was lost, too. It would be unfair to delete it, it would be unfair to not update anymore. So, I'll tell you what. I'll continue to update, but don't expect as often as any other story. Maybe I'll get back into it. I love you all soooo much for reviewing! THANK YOUS!
I just went back and read most the story, and I realize I could have done it better, the writing style isn't all that great. Oh well, I'll try and make it better from here on. Plus, my computer got fixed *SPELL CHECK* so now me can write one billion and a half times better.

The bell rang as the two of them entered the ice-cream parlor. A few people were inside, talking quietly in their own worlds, eating the most delicious ice cream in the world. On their walk there, Lily had decided to go 'easy' on James.
"I only want five ice-creams, and if you want you can have one of them." Lily told James as they walked up to the cashier
"That's, uh, kind of you!?" James laughed.
"Yes I know." Lily waved it off, and looked up at her choices, "I'll take one Fremon Cream, one Butterstick Whipped, a Uber Rainbow Strawberry Stick, a Vanilla Lemon, and...and...a chocolate." Lily said to the cashier as she picked up all her magical flavors that appeared in the counter.
James paid for their meal, and Lily hoarded up her orders like precious babies no one but her could touch.
"Which one do you want?" Lily asked, signaling to the ice creams she was just barley fitting in her hands.
"I'll have...chocolate." James decided after carefully inspecting each cone.
"Alright!" Lily attempted to hand it to James but realized her hands were to full. "A little help here?"
James eagerly took his ice cream as they sat on a table for two. (A/N: *sings* On a bicycle built for two...)
"I guess we're eating here?" Lily asked/said.
James was about to offer to go back, but then he remembered that he was having a perfect opportunity right now to be alone with her for a while.
"I guess so. So, what should we talk about?" James asked, leaning back on his chair.
Lily looked up at him, "You."
James raised an eyebrow, feeling blood rushing to his cheeks. "What about me...?"
"Well, tell me about your family. Where you live. Stuff like that!" Truth was, Lily didn't know all too much about him. Sure, she knew he lived with his mother in a big house, but that was it.
James was taken by surprise from the turn of the topic, but couldn't help feeling pleased that she wanted to know about HIM.
"Well, as you know, my dad died when I was five. He was an Auror, he died on a mission."
Lily frowned and patted James (who was now next to her) on the back quickly, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it was a long time ago anyway." James shrugged, "After that it was just me and my mom, and Grandma May occasionally came over to help," He paused for a moment, "You two would get along great, now that I think of it."
Lily laughed, putting a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.
"No, really! I'll introduce you to her, if you come for the summer."
Lily raised her eyebrows; "You're inviting me to your manor? Oh I feel special!"
"Of coarse!" James said, "I'm inviting the whole gang." He said with a wink.
Lily rolled her eyes, "And what's this house of yours like."
"Big." James said without thinking twice.
"No dip Sherlock." Lily shook her head.
"There are like a million guest rooms, a party room, a ball room, a huge kitchen, a living room, a TV room, a muggle room, a pool, a Quiditch Pitch, and a bunch of other junk." James ticked them off on his fingers.
Lily's mouth was wide open, "I'm definitely coming!" She declared as she stuffed the first spoon of her third ice-cream in her mouth.
James chuckled, "Sirius and Remus have their own rooms, since they sleep over so often."
"I know, Sirius owled me telling me about his room in your house." Lily nodded.
"My mom calls Sirius 'son', because he practically is."
"That's pretty cool, having your best friend live at your house! Ara's parents are so damn strict, and I don't know about Jen's."
"I've seen Jen's, they're like saints!"
"I can see where Jen gets it from then."
James laughed as he stole some of Lily's last ice cream.
"You eat fast." He commented.
"I know." She grinned as she inhaled the last ice-cream.
"We should go now, the others didn't know that we where staying here." James suggested.
"Alright!" Lily said as she dumped the trash in the trashcan and walked alongside James out the door.
"Do you think they miss us?" James asked curiously.
They paused for a moment, "Nah."
Their trip to the ice cream parlor had taken them about forty-five minutes, surprisingly, so fifteen minutes later they set off to do nothing. They weren't exactly sure how to do this, so they napped on the benches. They where woken up an hour later by a loud, smelly, Peter-fart.
The magic show was very amusing. They were about the oldest kids there, and probably the happiest. They would laugh at all the corny jokes, and their mouths hung wide at the 'suspensful' parts. At one point, when the main character had a robber in her house, Sirius screamed, "HE'S BEHIND YOU! HE'S BEHIND YOU! KILL THE BASTARD!" The mothers covered their children's ears, and the puppet turned to look at Sirius. But after that, things where as normal as it could get (that's not very normal).
After that, the boys and girls split up to do whatever they wanted. The Devils roamed around, stopping to take a magical picture in a little stall. They basically just hung out doing nothing at all but talking and walking. Of coarse, they were all teased by one another on their not so active love lives at least twice, but never taking it seriously.
The Marauders however tracked down Snape, and sent a Firework up his pants. Then they snuck some Dungbombs into Malfoy's ice cream. So all and all, it was pretty good for them.
To their misfortune, The Three Broomsticks was full up and too crowded, so instead they visited a fancy Italian restaurant where they were severely underdressed. Nonetheless, it had food, and they were damn hungry.
"Did you girls have fun?" James asked them after they were seated at their table.
"Of coarse we did, you guys weren't there!" Jen joked and Remus smacked her playfully.
"WELL, we I HAVE A FORK NAMED BIMPOMP!" Sirius stated, and gritted his teeth like a dog with rabies.
Lily snorted, "BIMPOMP? What kind of name is BIMPOMP? MY fork is named Porkrine. He has....an afro!" Lily said as she stuck a broccoli from her salad on top of the prongs.
Ara laughed, "Mine is named Katie, and she has implants." She put two olives on the prongs and slid them down.
"EWW!" Lily shut her eyes and Ara laughed.
Remus shook his head, "My fork is Superman!" He sticks some celery to form a cape. He then tried to make it fly and threw it in the air. It landed, however, in the milkshake of an old lady. (He had to go and take it out of the milkshake; he didn't want to loose his precious fork).
"Oh yeah? Meet Olive-head Joe! He's a pirate!" Jen sculpted her fork with an olive on the prongs, and a tooth-pick between the prongs.
"HEY LOOK! MY FORK HAS PRONGS!" James said happily! "Therefore, I name it James, and he is," he put on a deep, mysterious voice, "dead sexy!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
"Well my fork is named forky!" Peter stroked his fork.
"That's nice." Remus said off-handedly. "Ara, I declare war on your fork!"
Ara gasped, "BUT HER IMPLANTS MIGHT BURST!"
Remus laughed, and then, like a swordfight gone wrong, they started forcefully banging their forks together.
"I WIN!" Remus shouted triumphantly as Ara attempted to place the burst olives back on her fork.
Remus then played Jen, she would have one, too, if the 'knife' (toothpick) hadn't gone flying in the air and landing on her pirate's hat.
Remus' and James' game was a very tough one. James Jr. (as they called the fork) was very smooth, and darted around the blows easily. Remus began to get impatient and sent his fork flying in the air, hoping it would kill James Jr. James Jr, however, jumped up gracefully and came landing on top of Superman, and ripping his cape viciously into threads.
James Jr. then took on Porkrine and his amazing afro. Now, this Afro was larger than most 'fros, therefore having a huge advantage. That 'fro saved Porkrine from many blows, and also impacted James Jr. and the ego. Lily won!
Now, Lily took on Sirius. It was the MOST INTENSE FORK WRESTLING match that you will ever see: it lasted three whole minutes. They darted left, right, right left. After each blow, no matter how hard it was, they kept on going. By now, the 'fro was wearing thin, but Bimpomp was just getting warmed up. As a final attack, Sirius began to repeatedly stab Porkrine over and over and over again, until the afro fell off ..,and everyone was staring at the intensity of his stabs. It was a wounded soldier, and Jen had a quick moment of silence for the lost forkian.
When Sirius finally realized he won, he smiled and said through the huge grin, "I WIN!"
Sirius stood up and yelled again, "I WIN!" He wouldn't stop at that. He stood up on the table, and began to hop up and down. "I WIN! I WIN! I WIIIIIIN!"
The teens sat outside the restaurant, aggravated and irritated, as Sirius pleaded his sorries, "How was I supposed to know dancing on the table would get us kicked out of the restaurant?" He whined.
"Common sense smart ass." Jen rolled her eyes. "Anyway, we might as well get started EARLY, since SIRIUS got us KICKED OUT OF THE FREAKIN RESTAURANT!" She inhaled a deep amount of breath and closed her eyes, "I'm okay."
Ara sneaked a look at her schedule and realized what was next, and put on her next act. She let out a fake yawn and stretched, "Guys, I'm tired. Wanna go back?"
Jen and Remus caught on and agreed, "I am tired, it HAS been a long day. Does anyone want to stay? Cuz I'm going back..."
"I WANT T-"Again, Ara cut off Sirius, "Sirius, you'll come with me. I...I...I have something to show you." She lied, grinning at him with an obviously fake smile. Lily gave her a questioning look, which Ara ignored.
Sirius' face lit up, "Oh! Okay, I'll be going with you then." He winked at her, who tried her best not to roll her eyes. He then tried to get uncomfortably close to her, and she moved a step away each time he did.
"I guess I'll go back, too." Peter said slowly, even though he wasn't sure what was going on, he was doing what everyone else was.
"No! Don't leave me!" Lily pouted, "I wanna stay!"
"James will keep you company," Jen turned to James strictly, "Wont you James?"
"Uh...yeah, I guess-"
"Okay, great. You guys have fun, see you whenever you get back!" Ara said quickly, taking Jen's hand in one side and Sirius' in another and began to walk back to the carriages.
"Bye!" Everyone called back in unison, and quickly scattered away.
"That was awkward." Lily said a few moments after, watching her friends running away from them. There was a moment of silence as they watched the carriages kick up some dust and race away down the dirt path.
Snapping back to his senses, James looked around uncomfortably and put a hand in his pocket, "Yeah. Oh well...do you really want to stay? If not we can go back!"
"No!" Lily protested, "I'm fine. Unless YOU want to go back..."
"No way, its okay." James said quickly.
"Good." Lily said as they turned around and walked through the streets. For some reason, she couldn't help feeling glad everyone else left. In an instant, a certain thought about a certain boy flickered through her mind. Stubborn Lily shook it out of her head immediately, only to find it returning a few moments latter, when James put an arm around her shoulder.

Review and tell me how much you hate me for not updating sooner
