(Okay, before I say ANYTHING, I have to thank xxkatherinexx for a really long review that cheered me right up after a horrible congested day. Thanks everyone else, too! Oh, and about your little problem, I think everyone's a little tomboy, right? Of course right. Oh, I'm supposed to right the next chapter, aren't I? Okay then, I'll get started!)

"Lily!" James said as she came downstairs. Sirius looked up eagerly, but Lily kept her eyes on James.

"I have to talk to you." Lily said softly.

"All right. What is it?" James asked.

"Can we go someplace more...private?" Lily said in an almost whisper.

"Why?" James asked puzzled.

"We need to talk." Lily said more firmly.

"The four most dreaded words in the English language." James said with a smile.

"If you want," Sirius said getting up from his armchair. "I could leave." Lily looked at him with sadness in her eyes, a desire almost.

"No, it's okay, Sirius." Lily said looking sternly in James' eyes. "We were just leaving."

"Lily, really I can go..." Sirius said, collecting his things.

"No, really Sirius. Stay." Lily said, pulling James' hand. She couldn't stand to be with both of them any longer.

"Lily, I think if Sirius wants to leave..."James said.

"Maybe I don't want him to leave!" Lily said cutting James off.

"What?" James said. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means, uh, that I don't want to, err, inconvenience Sirius." Lily said. "I mean, it's only us, we can leave to talk."

"No, really, I'll go. It's no problem. Seriously." Sirius said.

"You both shut up." James said. "You make me sick." James started to storm off.

"What?" Lily said, chasing him. "I don't know what you mean, James."

"You two! Together! Going behind my back!" James yelled. "You think I haven't noticed? I think it horrible, my girlfriend and my best friend! Or should I say my ex and my former friend?" He stormed out of the common room. Lily and Sirius looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

"This is crazy." Lily said. "I was just going to tell him..."

"Yes?" Sirius said moving closer.

"My dreams, and..."Lily said moving closer.

"Was James in it?" Sirius asked.

"Yes." Lily said.

"Was I?" Sirius asked taking her hand.

"Yes." Lily whispered.

"Dreams can come true..." Sirius said leaning in. They were about to kiss when Lily pulled away. "What is it?"

"I can't. James. I love him." Lily sputtered out, moving away.

"What if I love you?" Sirius asked, trying to move closer.

"No. Sirius...we can't do this. James..." Lily said.

"Is not treating you well. I will." Sirius said.

"Just like last time, right?" Lily said. "Sirius, no, we can not do this. We can never do this. No."

"Don't say no. Not when you've wanted to say yes for so long." Sirius said.

"Get away from me!" Lily screamed. She ran upstairs to her room. She fell on her bed. She started crying. 'Well, love hurts.' Lily thought. Yes, because this is what it was. Love. She loved James. Before she was just saying it, but now she knew it was true. What else could make her heart rip apart like this? She needed to find James.

She ran to James' room. She barged in and saw Remus there. "Lily! What happened? Were you crying?"

"I need the Marauders Map and the Invisibility Cloak." Lily said.

"But, Lily..." Remus said.

"I also need you to not ask questions. Just know this is for my love." Lily said as Remus handed her the map and the cloak.

"Which one?" Remus joked. Lily put the cloak around her.

"My true love." Lily said. "I swear I am up to no good." The Map came to life. "Of course, the Quidditch fields!" Lily left and ran to the fields. A mere minute later Sirius barged in.

"I need the map and the cloak." Sirius said, looking around the room.

"Oh, err...Peter had it last, I think." Remus said. "I guess you're not the true love."

"What?" Sirius said, not really listening.

"I said Peter probably has it." Remus said. "He's in the prefect's bathroom, I think."

"Thanks, Moony. I need to find Lily." Sirius said. "All I can say is that I love her, and I know she loves me. We were meant for each other and I will win her back."

"No you won't." Remus said.

"Why not?" Sirius asked.

"Because she loves James! Lily just came here for the map and cloak. She went to the Quidditch fields to find her 'true love' and seeing as you are here, it is not you. Give up, Sirius."

"No! I need her!" Sirius said. "And I'm going to the fields."

"If you do, you will ruin your friendship with everyone." Remus said.

"How?" Sirius asked.

"James will never forgive you, neither would Lily. Peter would just follow what James does." Remus said. "And I would be too ashamed to be your friend." Remus left the room shaking his head. 'Everyone has gone crazy.' Remus thought.

"Love or friendship. That is the real question." Sirius murmured. He looked around the room. He sighed and picked up a textbook he was supposed to be working in some class or another. He flopped onto the bed and starting reading the problems.

"We have three chemicals: A, B and C. Whilst Chemical A and B may mix together nicely, Chemical B and C will not. Chemical A and C can mix, but sometimes it will not. All three chemicals cannot mix without a big mess that must be cleaned up by a different chemical, which we will call Chemical D. Chemical D can clean up any mess, made by any combination of chemicals. It is also the only chemical that can clean up a mess it made it self. Name Chemical A, B, C, and D."

Sirius really didn't care about the problem he was assigned. He thought about how Chemical A and B loved each other, and Chemical C loved Chemical B, but Chemical B didn't love him back. And only Chemical D could know what to tell his friends to do. 'Wow, I'm actually learning something.' Sirius thought.

"So...that's been what wrong?" James asked Lily on the Qudditch fields.

"Yes. I didn't tell you because I thought it would upset you. When I realized it was hurting you more not knowing, I planned to tell you." Lily said. "But then you said that Sirius and I had been going behind your back. I can say truthfully that Sirius and I have not been going out behind your back."

"But you have been liking him, haven't you?" James asked.

"I thought I did. That's why I had the dreams about Farmelon and Deramus." Lily said. "I think the war symbolized our friends, you know? They would be unhappy as long as I didn't make a decision. The tower symbolized my, like, a security blanket or at least something like that. I was a Princess because I made such high standards. You two were princes because you met my standards. We were from two different lands because earlier in the year we didn't really talk, so we were foreign to each other almost. Are you following what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I think so. I only have one question." James said. "Who were you going to pick in your dream? Sirius or me?"

"Don't you see? It doesn't matter in my dream, because in reality I pick you and I always will. I love you. I truly do. I thought I did before, but now I know I love with all my heart. I couldn't leave without you. If you died, I might as well die as well. I do not want to live without you, James Potter." Lily said as she looked deeply into James' eyes. James softly kissed her and smiled. "Do you forgive me for being so distant these past weeks?"

"Of course I do, my love, my Lily." James said. "Because I too do not want to live without you. You are my other half. I could not survive without you. I need you. I love you, Lily Evans."

Chemical D had cleaned everything up.
