It was the tail end of summer. Tai had released a CD that was selling all over the world, but that was not the reason for her happiness. She was in a limo on her way to Lily's house, where she would be spending the next 2 weeks. She was looking forward to seeing everybody, but for some inexplicable reason, Sirius especially. Tai was extremely irritated when her limo driver dropped her off at a bus station about 9 hours away from Lily's, and said that going any further was out of his region. Normally Tai would have found a new driver or whatever, but this time she decided just to try the bus. It sounded like fun, after all.
However, after 7 hours of being hopelessly lost and nowhere near Lily's, she decided she had better find a map. She stood unsteadily on her heels to address her fellow passengers. "Excuse me. EXCUSE ME. Does anybody have a map?" when no-one answered her she flounced to the front of the bus. "let me off. I've had it." She said to no one particular. When she got off the bus at a gas station, she felt a creepy looking man eyeing her. She had never felt so alone. When she saw the man was standing right in front of her with a leer on his face, she didn't know what to do. Out of instinct from countless duels with Bellatrix Black, she pulled out her wand. The man tripped her and she fell. Feeling hopeless she tried to get away, but there was a loud noise and suddenly a Purple Bus pulled up in front of her. She was seated on the pavement, her heels half off, and the contents of her Louis Vuitton bag with matching pocket book on the verge of falling out. Her hair was a mess, and she felt like she had.... Well, been sitting on a bus for 7 hours. Tai really didn't think she could take the conductor, who was wearing two hideously clashing shades of purple, which as EVERYONE knows, only certain people can wear, telling her to "step aboard.". It was even more of a shock to see Sirius, come crashing past the conductor. "Tai!" he explained, a look of genuine concern on the face that normally had a smirk on it "I- I mean we were worried sick about you!" Tai didn't know how she got through thanking Sirius, and letting him half carry her into the bus, and then greet James, and Lily who were sitting together, and probably because of the brevity of the situation weren't even fighting. It wasn't until she was sitting next to Sirius, and finding out that when she hadn't shown up at Lily's, Lily had called James, who had told Sirius, who got them all on the Night Bus. Anita, Scarlett, Peter and Remus had all stayed at Lily's to make sure that if she got back they would be there. Then reality hit her and she started sobbing softly. Sirius put his arm around her, and she sobbed into his chest, telling him thru her sobs about how she didn't want to be an actress, or a model anymore, that she just wanted to sing, but no one could accept that. And how she had actually walked out of a meeting with the producers of her next movie, which was absolutely not going to happen, to get to Lily's. Finally she stopped crying, but Sirius didn't remove his arm, and she kept leaning against his chest. She discovered that she rather liked the feeling it gave her.
A/n: sorry it took so long. My lifes been crazy. Tai is going into third year at this point. Hopefully I'll get a new chapter up soon.
