All's Fair in Love and War
A/N: Guess who? Yes, yes it's true! I'm back! Thank you to all of our reviewers! You guys rule! Before I begin this nice little addition to our story, I have an announcement to make. As you may or may not know, I have my own account under the name of Jingle-Bellz-ROCK. I would like to let you lovely readers and/or reviewers know that I will be posting my own story (I started writing it before this one. It is completely different) about Lily Evans-Potter's life. It begins when she is trying to overcome an abusive family and goes until her death. It is called Before the Boy Who Lived, and it should be up soon. Depending on when you're reading this, it may even be up now. It is very original and interesting. I promise, even if something in it seems a tad familiar, you'll never find another story exactly like it, so I hope it'll be entertaining. I'd really like it if you'd read and review that one too. Pretty please? Thanks in advance. (Sorry I've made you wait so long...I've been busy and feeling really sick. Ugh. I still do, but I don't want to be too mean, now do I?)

Chapter 3: Faze One of Operation Makeover
"Sougishiki roppou!" Yuki shouted. (Wake up!)
"Lievitazione e splendere! Tempo a tavola arrivare su!" Adrian yelled. (Rise and shine! Time to get up!)
Lily blearily opened her eyes to see her two best friends standing over her, dressed in jogging clothes. She turned her head and looked at the clock on her bedside table. Six AM. On the first day of summer. Not a very good idea.
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" Lily croaked groggily.
"Beginning Faze One of Operation Makeover, that's what. Now get up, chop, chop." Yuki ordered.
Lily rolled out of bed. "And just what might that be?"
"Every morning at six, we're gonna get up and jog around the park down the block. You're skinny, but in a sickish kind of way. We're gonna tone your body up to show off those curves I know you have hidden there somewhere," Adrian explained.
"Right. Do we have to do it so early?"
"Would you rather do it in the afternoon when everyone can watch and it's 100 degrees out?" Yuki asked bluntly.
This shut Lily up pretty quickly and she got dressed right away in jogging clothes like her friends, tying her waist length red-gold hair up in a pony tail.
The girls quietly left the house and went to the park that was a few blocks away. They decided to run around the path around the river, which was a rough mile and a half long. Not far away, James, Remus, and Sirius were crouched I a clump of bushes, watching them. Yuki heard some noises in the bushes, but decided to ignore them.
"Hey look, it's Crazy Red," James whispered to his two best friends seated behind him.
"She has a name you know," Remus added. That comment was, as usual, ignored.
"Who cares about Red? Her friends are HOT!" Sirius said enthusiastically, making James and Remus shush him.
"Which one?" Remus asked nonchalantly.
"Well, both, but the Asian chick is the hottest. Why?" Sirius added suspiciously.
"No reason!" he insisted hurriedly.
He remembered as if it were yesterday. All thee rich families in the magical world had been invited, his included. It was a ball being held in Japan for celebrating the honorable William Reed's first year as Headmaster at his family's magical school, ClowReed Academy.
Flashback...
"Mum, do we have to be here?" 15 year old Remus Lupin moaned.
"Oh stop your complaining. Sirius and James are here too, and you can go find them when we're through the receiving line."
Remus sighed, rolled his eyes, and reluctantly followed his mother toward the receiving line. He groaned when he saw how long it was. It appeared to be made of most of the Reed family tree!
He fixed on the famous Marauder, heart-melting smile, stood up straight, and walked towards the first person, a tall, friendly looking Japanese man- William Reed himself.
"Ah, you must be young Mr. Lupin. I have heard many good things about you," Mr. Reed said as he shook Remus' hand. Remus was surprised-his English was very good.
"Pleasure to meet you sir. Congratulations on becoming Headmaster."
"Thank you. Well, I won't keep you. I'm sure you'd like to meet up with Yuki and my niece."
Remus looked at him quizzically, but moved on nonetheless. He looked up and his heart stopped. He was standing in front of two beautiful girls. One, Remus had met before. Yuki Reed, William Reed's daughter. She was tall, skinny but curvy, had floor length icy blue hair she usually had tied up in a knot, and cat-like, ice blue eyes that could see right through you. But the other...wow. She looked like an angel. The girl appeared o be Italian, with smooth olive skin, wais length wavy black hair, azure blue eyes, and was a bit short, with a petite, curvy figure.
"Remus! Hi!" Yuki squealed, hugging Remus.
Remus was looking over her shoulder with his mouth hanging open. Yuki glanced at Remus and smirked.
"Remus-Chan, have you met my cousin Adrian?"
Remus, unable to talk because his mouth was still hanging open, just shook his head, not taking his eyes off Adrian.
Adrian was blushing slightly as she leaned forward and closed his mouth for him. "Bonjourno Remus, nice to meet you."
Remus was entranced, watching her rose colored lips form the words. Her confused stare broke him out of his trance.
"Y-yeah. N-nice to meet y-you," he stuttered. Yuki snickered behind them.
"Remus-Chan, you're holding up the line," Yuki whispered.
Surprised and embarrassed, he looked around and saw a long line of people behind him, waiting to move forward in the endless line.
"Whoops! I th-think I'll go f-find James and Sirius now. B-bye Adrian. Bye Yuki."
...End Flashback
"HELLO! Earth to Moony!" Sirius shouted, waving his hand in front of Remus' eyes.
"Wha," Remus asked, looking around wildly.
James and Sirius shared a knowing look and smirked.
"Moony likes Red's friend," Sirius sang tauntingly.
"What? I do not!" Remus protested hotly.
"Riiiiiight. What's her name again?" asked James.
"Adrian," Remus mumbled.
"What?" a soft, sweet voice asked behind them. Horrified, the boys looked behind them to see three very angry seventeen year old girls standing behind them.
"Dare ga suru anata yaros omou suru are?" Yuki yelled. (Who do you bastards think you are?)
"S-sorry?" Sirius stuttered, cowering with the other boys under Yuki's rage.
Yuki of course, had already tackled Sirius and had given him a black eye. James was trying to pull her off him and Remus just sat there, shocked.
Lily and Adrian ran over and started yelling to Yuki in Japanese.
"Yuki-Sama suru aru ni heisei shita!" Lily yelled, grabbing Yuki's elbow as she brought up her arm to punch Sirius. (Yuki, you have to calm down!)
"Teishi Yuki! Kare's nai kachi sore!" Adrian shouted as she grabbed Yuki's other arm. (Stop Yuki! He's not worth it!)
Yuki glared at her best friends, slapped Sirius' face, and began to walk away.
"Well, I hope you're happy," Lily said to the three breathless boys.
"Shut up Red," Sirius growled, staring after Yuki.
"No YOU shut up! You bastards shouldn't have been spying on us in the first place! Just who do you think you are anyway!" Adrian yelled, walking up to Sirius so close that their noses almost touched.
"I think we're the Marauders, and nobody tells US what to do," Sirius hissed.
"There's a first time for everything," Adrian muttered dangerously, raising her fist.
"Adrian," Lily whispered to her friend, putting a hand on her arm, "he's non penna e." (Adrian, he's not worth it.)
With one last glance, Adrian and Lily walked off after Lily and back towards Lily's house.
A/N: Hey there everybody! So what do you think? Like it? Loath it? Love it!
Well of course they love anything with ME in it.
Shut up Black.
Or what?
Or I'll shave you bald and paint your head neon pink.
NOOOOOOO! PLEASE, ANYTHING BUT THAT! I'll leave!
Finally. Please send a review it's the only thing that can save us from Sirius' constant whining about how he wants to change the story. (He's allergic, so he won't come near us if we have a fresh one.) Don't forget to read/review my other story: Before the Boy Who Lived.
See you soon my friends!
