5.The First Goodbye

The next day Lily was surprised that she ever thought Roxy and James' parents could have been scary and intimidating, they were so lovely and funny.

At dinner they talked about school, embarrassing moments from Roxy, James and Sirius' childhood, bitching about the Skye's and teasing Bella about her new boyfriend Gideon Prewett.

The adults liked Lily and she liked them. Even though she hardly knew them she knew that she'd miss them when she left Verona.

The next few days, Lily skied with Sirius, Roxy and James and sometimes their parents.

On the second to last day at Mt. Lessini they had a big dinner. It was very bright and cheery and there was heaps of food. Angel Skye came around for a while and left soon after she arrived, realizing that no one wanted her there.

On the last night the girls were getting very excited about the Talent Quest, they had practiced a lot, it was looking great and the boys were desperate to see it. Angel thought it was her they wanted to see, hmm yea or not! So when everyone was situated in the main hall, it began. There were many lip syncs like them, some just dancing; there was even a contortionist when it was their turn Lily, Roxy and Angel got up all in thick, blue turtlenecks and jeans. Roxy and Angel were to the sides and Lily stood in the middle, when the song started they got into action it was 'In His Kiss' by Cher.

Does he love me I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
is it in his eyes?
Oh no! You'll be deceived
Is it in his sighs?
Oh no! He'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Is it in his face?
Oh no! That's just his charms
in his warm embrace?
Oh no! That's just his arms
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Kiss him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How about the way he acts
Oh no! That's not the way
And you're not list'nin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Kiss him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How about the way he acts
Oh no! That's not the way
And you're not listnin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

It's in his kiss
That's where it is

By the end everyone was looking one amazed by the three eleven year olds, the performance was so powerful. But they didn't have much time to think about it, the next group went on and it was Jonte, Kari, Jay, Rose, Harold and Dawn, they seemed to be doing a lip sync, but they were all in the opposite sexes clothes, and the colours clashed horribly. The music started it was 'We Go Together' from that popular musical Grease. They were all crazy, but the kids were in hysterics. When it was over the MC got up on stage and announced the winners.

"For ten and under I present to you Jasmine Baker!" a wee girl walked up, she had done a ballet piece the crowd cheered.

"For the second age group, I present to you Lily Evans, Roxy Derwin and Angel Skye!" the three girls squealed and ran up on stage, as theirs friends and family cheered.

"And now for the last age group I present to you the Potters, Derwins and Evans'!"

The adults jumped up all hugging everyone around them, you'd think they had won 'Stars in Their Eyes' or something.

That night back at the Evans' there was bit of a piss up, somehow the Skye's got themselves invited round, no one minded that much, Lily was actually starting to wonder how Roxy put up with Angel for God knows how long, and was looking forward to never having to put up with her anymore, but that also meant no more Sirius, Roxy or James, her friends of the summer.

Anyways…

The music was blaring, everyone was smiling, even Petunia who had made friends with Bella, and singing, who cares if they don't know the words? None of them did. Towards the end of the night they got quieter and quieter; finally everyone was sitting down, sipping, coffee, tea or hot cocoa. Just chatting.

Finally they Skye's left after Angel fell asleep and knocked over a bowl of potato chips.

"Well, it was nice meeting you," Mrs. Skye said to the Evans'

"Yes, same to you," Rose gave a forced smile.

After watching them leave, Rose asked exhaust "How do you put up with them?"

"Ah, well it takes skill," Jonte started "Skill in being able to nod your head and smile, they're so rapt up in themselves its all you need to do," A chuckle came from everyone.

"Well, we should probably be off," Dawn announced.

"Why don't you all come around for breakfast tomorrow?" Kari invited.

"I don't see why not, we'd love to," Rose looked at her family, all mingling with the others, "Why don't we take Bella tonight? It's a pity they only hit it off now, Pet wouldn't have been so bored all holiday."

"That's a great idea, and why don't we take Lily, those four will probably wanting to have one last night together-,"

"Yes!"

"That's so great that you're staying, especially on our last night," James said walking back to their cabin.

The others murmured in agreement.

"You know what I think?" Sirius asked.

"Wow, you think? That's a breakthrough!" Roxy said mockingly.

"Shuddup, I think that we should reunite again, next holidays," Sirius proposed.

"Yeah, we could go to the cinema!" Lily exclaimed the others looked at her strangely "The movies."

The others pretended to know what she was talking about, and agreed.

Back at the Cabin, they moved mattresses into Roxy's room, so they could all squish in there.

Once settled down Lily spoke "This is the best holiday I ever had, and ever will have."

"So true, where I first learned to ski," Roxy agreed.

"Where I found another girl to stand up tome that wasn't Rox," Lily and Roxy both whacked Sirius, "My point, what about you Jay?"

James thought "Where I first had to say goodbye, with out meaning it."

Sirius, Roxy and Lily looked puzzled "Yes, well how about we get ready for bed and stuff, coz I'm dead," Lily offered.

The others agreed and when everyone was in their beds they started to chat about music, food, stories from when they were little until slowly one by one they all fell asleep, leaning all over each other…..

A/N- Hehehe, that's been a while hasn't it? I've had a show on, Alice in Wonderland, now its over sniff but it was great! Fanfic's scred up right now and being a poo, so I can't say anything about my reviews except 'I love you all!'

Happy reading
