Absolutely Yummy

They woke up much earlier than any of them would have liked the next morning and hit the road. The group was spared Sirius' singing for the first three hours, but was instead bombarded by snores so loud they shook the car.

"I'm not sure which is worse, him or his snores" Lily mumbled, putting her pillow over her ears.

"At least it keeps me awake," James pointed out, rubbing his eyes wearily.

"It certainly does keep the rest of us awake too," Ariel complained.

"She does have a point. If one of us can't sleep, then none of us should," Remus said.

"And have him singing in my ear all morning? I think not," Autumn said.

They did not have to make the difficult decision, for at that moment, Sirius awoke. He stretched, hitting Autumn in the face, and yawned.

"You're all up bright and early," Sirius said, glancing at his friends. "I figured I'd be able to have a little bonding time with Jamesie while you were sleeping."

The other five glared at him.

"What?" Sirius asked, confused.

"With how you were snoring I'm surprised we don't have an angry mob running behind us," Autumn said.

"I don't snore!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Not usually, but you were definitely snoring today," James said.

Sirius shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's for breakfast?"

"We just ate breakfast at the hotel," Ariel said.

"It really was more like a midnight snack," Autumn added.

Sirius nodded his head in agreement and added, "Plus, that was three whole hours ago."

"We'll stop at the next McDonalds," James said.

"Yay!" Sirius yelled.

The next exit held their refuge, and James pulled onto it. Quickly finding the bright yellow and red building, he pulled into the empty parking lot. As soon as the car rolled to a stop, Sirius jumped out and ran inside.

The others walked in to find him flirting with the girl behind the counter. All of them but Ariel rolled their eyes and began looking over the breakfast choices. Ariel stood and stared at Sirius and the lady, apparently trying to decide what to do.

Finally coming to a choice, she walked up to Sirius and put her arm around him. She kissed him full on the lips and smiled sweetly at the employee. "One egg McMuffin with orange juice, please."

The woman behind the counter glared at her. After slamming down Sirius' Happy Meal and McFlurry, she hurried off to get Ariel's breakfast.

"What was that all about!" Sirius asked angrily.

Ariel smiled innocently. "What do you mean?"

Sirius was about to reply when the woman returned. He tried giving her his most flirtatiously irresistible smile, but she only hit the keys of the cash register harder.

Once they had each gotten their breakfasts, they put two tables together and sat down. Ariel sat beside Sirius, who was still fuming. She nibbled on his near, causing Autumn to make barfing motions, but also succeeding in lightening Sirius' mood.

As Sirius stuffed large bites of cheeseburger and McFlurry into his mouth, Lily looked at him in disgust.

"How can you eat like that this early in the morning?" she finally asked.

Sirius looked down at his breakfast and back at her. "What's wrong with it?"

Lily ate a bite of her dainty fruit salad and replied, "It's just not breakfast food. I would probably throw up if I ate that right now."

Sirius pulled out his toy, (a miniature My Little Pony) and said, "Even if it involved super cool toys?"

Lily, deciding not to reply, continued eating.

Making their way back to the car, James stumbled over his own feet. All the driving he had been doing was catching up to him.

"James, why don't I drive? You look dead tired," Lily suggested.

"Nah, I'm fine," he replied, stifling a yawn.

"Really, I don't think you're up to it. I'll get Sirius to shut up so you can sleep. I promise," Lily said.

"I don't think so. The car has lots of weird habits that you have to get used to. It pulls to the right a little, and you have to be really easy on the gas."

"Now you don't have to worry about it because you just told me," Lily said.

James was just about to continue arguing when Ariel interrupted him. "Stop being such a guy and hop in the back seat."

"I'll take the passenger seat in the front. No way am I taking my eyes off her driving," James said.

By threatening to put a silencing charm on Sirius, the car was now quiet, and everyone (except Lily of course) was in dreamland. James had been right about the car being difficult. Twice she almost scraped a mailbox and there was a sad incident with a squirrel (RIP). Of course she wouldn't admit to James that driving this car was difficult, so Lily started paying extra attention to the road.

A hour and a half later, James woke up. He stretched and took a look out the window. "Good, I'm still alive," he said.

"Oh, shush," Lily replied sticking out her tongue. "You know, women can drive just as well as guys can."

"Ha," James replied. "Just how many people did you run over while I was sleeping?

"Only one," Lily said smiling sweetly.

James gave a little chuckle. "I sure hope you're kidding," he said. "because I want to finish this trip."

Lily gave him an innocent look.

God she's so hot, James thought. "So, how much longer till we're there?"

"About another two hours," Lily answered. "This is one thing I'm not too crazy about on road trips."

"What's that?" James asked.

"All this driving," Lily answered. "Seems like we spend more time in the car than anything else."

"Yea but so far all the places we've been to have been worth it," James said.

"True," Lily agreed. "What are your plans when we get back home?"

"I'm on the Auror waiting list," James answered. "When we left I still had a good while to go, but they say loads drop out the first week because training is so intense."

"I'm sure you'll make it," Lily said, turning to give him a smile.

"Thanks," James replied. "What are your plans?"

"I was actually thinking about becoming a muggle nurse," Lily answered.

James' jaw dropped wide open. "But you are an incredible witch! Not using your magic is practically a crime!"

"I'm not that great," Lily said modestly.

"Yea you are," James insisted. "Why don't you become a Healer or something instead."

"I'll take that into consideration," Lily said.

After a few moments of silence, James decided to strike up another conversation. "Do you think we'll all still remain friends once we get back?"

"Of course we will!" Lily exclaimed as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Friends like you don't come around too often."

So, she considers me her friend...that's a major improvement compared to last year, James thought.

Just as James was about to tell Lily his feelings for her, Sirius woke up. Oh, how he just had the perfect timing.

"Are we almost there?" Sirius whined.

"Fifteen minutes," Lily answered.

While looking up directions for their next stop, they thought it would be fun to stop at a few interesting places along the way. It was a close race between the National Barbie Museum and The Giant Taco. In the end they decided to go to The Giant Taco.

Upon entering the building, a kind lady gave them all name tags that had pictures of taco toppings on them. She then led them to The Giant Taco.

"Oh my gracious," Ariel said looking up at the huge taco in front of her.

"Great, now I'm hungry again," Sirius complained.

"This taco was made on May 17, 1974. The owner of a small mexican restaurant wanted a way to bring in the customers, but also feed them. So, he got to work on The Giant Taco. Of course this isn't a real taco because after thirty-one years food tends to good bad. But this is the same size as the one built oh so long ago."

"We don't get to taste it?" Sirius asked.

"I'm afraid not," the tour lady answered. "Let me show you to the gift shop."

Lily put on a blue hat that had a taco on it. She then gave a little spin in front of the mirror.

"Nice hat," James said strolling over.

"Thanks," Lily replied. She picked up another one and placed it on James' head. "There," she said. "You're absolutely yummy."

James grinned. "Yummy eh? Are you going to eat me?"

"I just had breakfast so I think I'll be able to restrain myself," Lily answered. "But watch out at dinner time," she added, giving him a wink.

James gapped at Lily as she walked away. If I don't get her soon I think I'm gonna go mad, he thought.

After looking through the gift shop, the crew packed back into the car, and headed off to their hotel, which was another thirty minutes away. Surprisingly, James let Lily drive again.
