A/N: Second part of the date. Boy, aren't you excited? I know I am. I'm still thinking of where James will take Lily though...GOT IT! But you'll find out soon if you read the chapter. Oh yeah, the disclaimer, I almost forgot.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, blah, bah, blah... do we really have to put this on every single chapter? I hope not. But anyway, everybody knows that I don't own it so here you go.

There will be something different about this chapter. I'm gonna try to make it shorter. I know, I'm going for the impossible. Impossible for me, that is. If you read most of my chapters, you will find that they're a bit too long. Well, I'm working on it. Should they be so long? Let's take a vote, so VOTE!

I would like to thank all the people that have given a review. I'm not gonna make a list since I forgot myself who those people were. Oh well, who cares? I know I don't.

And now back to the story. Don't you think this line is getting old? Is it old? I got no clue.

Chapter 3

The Date (Part 2)

===============================================
Lily was looking at herself in the mirror. She glanced at the clock by her bed. It read 6:30 pm.

"Excellent," she thought, "I have 1 more hour."

Lily picked up the book that she was reading. She read the first page but didn't even understand what she was reading. Her thoughts kept drifting back to James. He didn't tell her where they were going so she didn't know what to wear. After hours of trying to choose an outfit, she finally decided on a pair of tight jeans and a green shirt that matched her eyes.

"Seriously, I'm getting as picky as Stacy with what to wear." She thought and smiled to herself. She wished that her friends could have helped her pick an outfit, but her friends didn't even know about the date. In fact, she and James agreed to keep it as a secret.

Lily tried to get back to her book but ended up daydreaming about James.

==================================================

At James's House

==================================================

James was getting ready for his date with Lily.

"Hey Prongs, man, what are you getting ready for?" Sirius came in.

"A date."

"With who?"

"Somebody."

"Come on, tell me."

"No."

"Why not? Just give me one clue."

"Okay. She's a girl."

"Well that's a big help. There are thousands of girls on this planet and you're taking one of them out. Narrow down the choices will you?"

James didn't say anything.

"Okay then, do I know her? Is she pretty? Have I gone out with her at least once?"

"Yes, yes, and yes."

"Okay, so that just narrows it down to all the girls that I went out with."

"Can you guess who it is, Padfoot, old pal?"

"Do you know how many girls I've gone out with? I can't even count them all myself."

"Well then you'll just have to guess."

"Okay. Katie Walker? Shannon Dodson? Carmen Wayne? Priscilla Tolp? Alicia Connor? Sarah Hart?"

James shook his head.

"Fernanda Surf? Timmy Caulson? Mary Priff? Alexandra Walp? Suhani Perse? Anna Skom? Julia Darch? Audra Sphinx? Trish Mayf? Fran Trust? Darcy Plage? Kim Stid? Bonnie Rock? Monique Star? Courtney Smith? Carly Jame? Tasha Bay? Hollie Pearson? Chelsea Mantra? Caroline Drake? Brenda Palac? Briana—

"Enough. You can keep going with your list and you sill won't get there."

"Okay, how about I make a list of all the girls that I dated?"

"You can do all you want but you still won't say the right name."

"Can you describe her to me?"

"Nope cause then you might find out who she is and we don't want that right now."

"We?"

"Me and the girl."

"Dang she must be special to you if you're willing to go with her on game night."

"Game night can wait."

Sirius looked offended. "Game night can wait? No it can't! The most important day of the year and you're gonna miss it. How could you?"

"It's not that important."

"Not that important! I won't have a partner."

"You'll get over it."

"Oh well, I might as well start writing my list if I won't be able to participate."

"Can we move it to tomorrow night?"

"Oh all right. But I'm still gonna work on my list."

"Fine. Now I better go or I'll be late."

"Prongs?"

"Yeah?"

"Who's the mystery woman?"

"Not tellin' you."

Seeing that James wasn't going to tell him, Sirius gave up.

"Well then I hope you have a great time with the girl."

"I will. I've been waiting for this day my whole life."

While Sirius puzzled over the remark, James grabbed the car keys and headed toward the garage.

He got in his car, a blue convertible and headed over to Lily's house. On the way, he got some pretty lilacs [A/N: You know, Lilacs for Lily?]. By the time he got to her house, he had 5 minutes to spare.

Lily was still daydreaming when James rang the doorbell.

"I'll get it." She called to her parents that were about to open the door. She opened it. "Hello James.'

"Hi Lily. These are for you." James handed her the flowers.

"Oh, they're so beautiful. Mom, can you go get me a vase to put them in?"

"Sure dear."

"Hello James, nice to see you." Lily's father extended his hand. James shook it.

Lily came back.

"Now Lily, I want you to be back by 10:30."

"Yes dad."

"Have a good time."

"By mom, by dad."

"Have fun now."

"It was nice meeting you James."

"My pleasure."

"Lets go James." Lily took his hand.

Together they went to the car. James opened the door for her and Lily got in. he got on the other side of the car and started driving.

"James?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are we going anyway?"

"Well we have two choices. We can go to the theme park or just watch a movie."

"Let's go to the theme park."

"Okay."

They drove for a while in silence. James was wondering why Lily was so nice to him. Usually, if they were in the same room together, then they would start fighting. However, they were going somewhere together and riding in the same car and still no arguments.

Meanwhile Lily was getting uneasy. She was thinking along the lines of James about them actually being civil to each other. Maybe he has changed, Lily thought, but no, it can't be. James Potter actually not being the arrogant bighead jerk that he usually is? Impossible.

"We're here." James said, turning off the car. He opened the door for Lily.

"Thanks."

Together they walked up to the ticket booth and bought tickets.

"So what ride do you want to go on first?" asked Lily.

"I don't know, you choose. I've never been here before."

"Okay, how about that one?"

"Okay."

They went to the swirly roller caster. Afterwards they went to another and another.

"Okay, we have enough time for one more." Said Lily.

"Which one? There are so many that we haven't ridden yet."

"You just pick one."

"Okay. Um, how about the Tunnel of Doom?"

Lily hesitated. "Um, I guess."

"What's wrong with that one? Looks fun."

"Well, you see— Lily began. She didn't want to explain it to him since the tunnel of doom was a ride that teenagers made out on. It wasn't a very romantic name, but the darkness was an advantage. Maybe she should just go on another ride. But then, she did have a great time so far, so a little peck won't hurt. Right? She started battling with herself wether or not it was okay.

"Tell me about it." James said.

He never has been here, she thought. So if he doesn't notice any other couples, we should be fine.

"Lily? Uh, Earth to Lily."

"Wha-, uh, oh never mind, lets go on that one."

They took the very last seat. Lily looked around, hoping that nobody was there that would recognize her. There were lots of couples there that were just talking but none of them were familiar. She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to James.

"PLEASE STAY IN YOUR SEATS AND PUT YOUR BELT ON. THE RIDE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN."

The roller coaster started moving. [A/N: I don't know what the thingy where you sit in is called.] Everything became dark and everybody quieted down.

"Why is everybody so quiet?" whispered James.

"Well, uh—Lily didn't finish since right at that time, there was a flash of lighting and James saw the answer.

All the couples were making out. Actually, everybody was. Except for two people. Lily and James.

"Oh." James said. So this is why Lily didn't explain to him the point of the ride.

They sat in silence. Finally, James couldn't take the silence.

"Listen Lily, I—he never got to finish since Lily kissed him at that time.

James was as shocked as Lily. She didn't even know what she was doing. A part of her said; go for it while the other was saying no way.

"Lily? Wha-

"Just shut up and let me finish. Look, I really like you and I—

"Hey, I like you too."

"I knew that since like the second year."

"Oh yeah, right."

"Now that was just a taster. Ready for some more?"

It took James a moment to comprehend what Lily was saying. Then it hit him. She wanted to make out with him. Instead of answering, he gave her a kiss.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"You better."

Lily smiled up at him and pulled him close to her. They started kissing. [A/N: Awww, isn't that romantic?] Unfortunately for them, the ride ended a couple minutes later.

"Wha-, oh, it's over." Said a disappointed Lily.

"Well what do you wanna do now?" James was also disappointed, but he was trying to hide it.

"I don't know."

"How about we go to the beach?"

"Have you hit your head or something? There isn't a beach that's close by."

"We can go to the Caribbean or just watch a movie."

"Okay, then the beach it is." Said Lily.

"Well..."

"Oh come on, it was your idea in the first place."

"It's too much work."

"Then why did you suggest it?"

"I don't know."

"Okay, where else can we go?" Lily said

"Dinner?"

"Too fancy."

"Movie?"

"Too plain."

"Club?"

"What kind?"

"Dunno. Hey, I got one, how about my living quarters? Nobody's home, you know."

"Not even Sirius?"

"Nope."

"Nah. How about the movie?"

'Okay, but we're still driving to my house."

"Why?"

"Cause we made one of the rooms is like a movie theater."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go."

They two went back to the car and drove to James's house. Like he said, there was nobody home.

Lily looked around. "Wow, this place is huge."

"Well this is only the living room, there's two more levels plus the attic."

"Dang. My house is miniature compared to this."

"Shall we go to watch the movie?" James extended his hand.

"Of course." Lily took it.

Together they went up to the theater room. Inside there was a leather couch that faced the huge movie screen.

"Now where's Wilma? WILMA!" James called.

"Who's Wilma?"

"She's our house-elf."

Just then Wilma appeared. "Do you need anything, sir and miss?"

"Yes, pick out a movie, what kind you choose, and get us something to eat please."

"Yes sir." The elf disappeared.

"Now make yourself comfortable." James said, plopping down on the couch and dragging Lily down with him.

"Right."

The house elf appeared again. "Here you go, sir and miss." The elf was holding a tray of cookies and a DVD. [A/N: I know that the wizarding world doesn't have DVD's, but they do in this story.]

Lily took the tray while Wilma put the DVD in the machine.

"Anything else, sir and miss?"

"No Wilma, you've done enough. Would you perhaps like a cookie yourself?" asked James.

"Oh no sir, Wilma already ate and is going to wash the floors now."

"How about you take a rest? Forget about the floors."

"But sir—

"It is an order."

"Right sir." Wilma seemed much happier. She bowed and left.

"Now..." James pressed play.

It turned out that the movie was Titanic. [AN: I love that movie, it's so sad. Don't you think so?] but James and Lily didn't even seem to notice what movie was on. They were a bit to absorbed in each other.

"I think we should stop." Said Lily.

"We should?"

"Yeah. I didn't even notice that Wilma put on Titanic. Let's at least watch the end."

"Okay." James said.

Lily snuggled up to James and they watched the rest of the movie.

===================================================

Afterwards

===================================================

"Well, that was fun." Said James enthusiastically.

"I gotta agree with you, it was."

"Come on, I'll drive you home."

James grabbed the car keys. They were about to exit when the heard some chatter.

"I beat you at most of the games."

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did."

"Oh shut up."

"Why?"

"I have made progress on my girls list."

"You haven't finished it yet?"

"Nope, this is only one quarter of all the girls."

"Oh my god, look how thick your list is."

"So?"

"Well, it's a bit too big, don't you think so?"

"No." The chatter continued, meanwhile coming closer and closer to the front door.

"That's the guys." James said.

"Okay, so?"

"Well, uh, let's go out the back door."

"Why?"

"Let's just go."

They sneaked out the back door, got in the car and drove away.

"What was that all about? Why we have to sneak out?"

"Well, I didn't want them to know that I actually got a date with you."

"Why? I thought that you would tell the whole world."

"Well, I'm not. At least, not until we're both comfortable with it and I know wether I will have another date with you."

"You will."

They reached Lily's house.

"I had a great time today so start planning our next date."

"You mean you will go out again?"

"Yes."

"With me?"

"Duh."

"Am I dreaming?"

"No. this is reality and I better get inside and you need to get home too. Sirius will wonder where you are."

"Right, well, good night."

"Night."

"One more thing."

"Yeah."

"Can I write letters to you?"

"Sure."

"Okay, night."

Lily gave him a kiss and went into her house. James went back to his car. He rode around for a while, then finally headed home.
