A/N: UPDATE! Yes, this is what you have been waiting for.

In this chapter, not much happens. Sorry about this. I just needed to pass some time while it's summer. It's mostly talk and all. But I promise you that the next chapter will come out either tomorrow or the next day, depending how reviews I get.

Chapter 4

The Rest of the Holidays

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

Lily continued going out with James for the rest of the summer as Stacy continued going out with Sirius.

Lily, Stacy and Maria were at Maria's house, doing the usual. Doing their hair, talking about boys, makeup, talking about boys, clothes, talking about boys, gossiping, and talking about boys.

"Lily, where were you last night?" asked Maria. "We went by your house but your parents said that you weren't there."

"Yeah, where were you?"

"Well, you see— Lily began. She was thinking up of some lie. She in fact had been on a date with James. But her friends didn't know that and she intended to keep it that way. She and James were planning to tell their friends soon, but how soon, she did not know.

"So? Where were you?" demanded Stacy.

"I was out."

"Out?"

"Out where?"

"Just out."

"Girl, who's the lucky guy?"

"Wha- there's no guy."

"Oh please, you're always staring off in space."

"No I'm not."

"Right."

"No, seriously, there's no guy."

"We believe you."

"But—

"Come on, we're your friends."

"All right, I'll tell you."

"Yes!"

"It's a guy."

"That doesn't help much."

"Give us more clues."

"All right. Um, he lives in the U.K."

"That's a really big help." Said Stacy while Maria rolled her eyes.

"Well it is. Now you have it narrowed down to all the guys in the U.K. That should be plenty of help."

"All right, do we know him?"

"Maybe."

"Is he cute?"

"Definitely."

"Okay, that gives us something to work with."

"Maria, work with what? Do you have any idea how many cute guys there are that we know?"

"Correction, you know. You're like a female Sirius; he's always with some girl."

"Maybe, but if you really knew Sirius, you'd know that he''s very sweet and nice."

"Oh please. Who's the one that plays tricks on people?"

"James."

"And Sirius."

"But it's mostly James."

"What about James? You will never see him dateless for a second. He dumps a girl and immediately replaces her." said Stacy.

"True. But he is cute too, you gotta admit."

"No he's not." Said Lily.

"Oh please. Even you have to admit it."

"Well, maybe."

"Yeah, but what about Remus? He is the best out of all of them."

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Stop the arguing, you're giving me a headache."

"Sorry Lil."

"I told you I hate that name."

"Well, you will learn to like it."

"You can't make me."

"Oh yes we can."

The two girls began tickling her.

"Stop." Said Lily, giggling, "You know how ticklish I am."

"All right, we'll stop. But you gotta tell us who the guy is."

"Maybe later."

"Now."

"Later."

"Now."

"I've decided not to tell you at all."

"Why?"

"'cause you're pestering me with all the questions."

"All right, we'll stop."

"Now, onto the next subject."

"What will that be?"

"We are going to give Maria a makeover."

"WHAT!" screeched Maria. "Don't even come near me."

"That's a good idea." Said Lily thoughtfully.

"No it's not."

"It'll only be a bit of make up. Maybe we should trim your hair too."

"No." wailed Maria.

"We're sorry, we have too." Both lily and Stacy started approaching Maria.

"Don't come nearer, I'm armed." Maria grabbed the closest shoe that she could find.

Looking at the shoe, Lily and Stacy burst out laughing. Maria stared at them.

"Have you guys lost your minds?"

"The shoe..." Lily managed to choke out.

Maria looked at the shoe and burst out laughing too. She had accidentally grabbed a slipper that was in the shape of Scooby-Doo.

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

At James's House

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

"I won." Yelled Sirius gleefully.

"So you did. Good job."

They shook hands.

"Now what will we do next?" asked Sirius.

"Dream about Lily." Thought James, but said "I don't know, you choose."

"Okay. How about a game of chess? James? Hello? Is anybody home?"

James didn't answer. He was in his world with Lily. Oh how he loved the way her hair shined and how her green almond shaped eyes were filled with joy.

"He seems to be doing that a lot lately." Commented Remus who was reading a book. Wormtail wasn't at James's house with the rest of the gang since he had to go "see his mum".

"True, Moony, very true."

"James? James?" said Sirius, pounding on James's head and screaming in his ear, "Come back to us!"

"Wha— said James, massaging his head. "Why did you pound on my head?"

"Because you were in la-la land again."

"I was? Sorry."

"Prongs, why are you acting so weird?"

"I'm not acting weird."

"You're always in la-la land."

"No I'm not. I'm not right now." James voice was fainter and fainter. There he was again, thinking about Lily.

"He's doing it again." Complained Sirius.

"Hit him on the head again." Suggested Remus.

Sirius did as he was told. This time, James did responded by putting a hex on him. Sirius's face was covered in purple polka dots.

"Hey, my beautiful face." Sirius complained.

"You deserved it." Said James, grinning.

"What did I do?"

"Hit me in the head again."

"Oh that. Well, you shouldn't have given me a reason to hit you."

"You were in la-la land again." Said Remus.

"What's on your mind?" said Sirius. He already performed the counter course so his face was polka-dot free.

"Just stuff."

"What stuff?"

"Stuff."

"It's a girl." Said Remus.

"How you know?"

"Cause it always is."

"A girl, eh? So what's the deal? Is it the mystery woman?"

"Yes."

"What did she do?"

"Nothing."

"Prongs, are you gonna tell us who it is?" said Remus. "Ever since I've heard from Sirius about your mystery woman, I've been dying to know who it is."

"If he doesn't tell me, why would he tell you?" said Sirius.

"Maybe he trusts me?" suggested Remus.

"Well, he trusts me too." Said Sirius.

"You'll find out who the mystery woman is soon enough."

"We will?"

"Yes. I just have to clear it with her."

"Okay Prongs, do what you wanna do."

James went upstairs.

"Anybody wanna play?" said Sirius.

"Not me, this book is too interesting."

"Stop reading books and come play with your mates once in a while." Said Sirius.

"I'll play." James returned.

"What did you do?" asked Remus curiously.

"Send a message."

"To whom?"

"Nobody."

"That fast?"

"Uh huh."

"Was it to the mystery woman?"

"Yep."

Sirius looked at Remus. "There's something weird about him."

"Yep." Remus agreed.

"Hey." Said James, pretending to be hurt. "Stop talking about me. I'm standing right here you know and I can hear."

"We're sorry that we hurt ickle Jamie's feelings." Said Sirius mockingly.

"My name is James, not Jamie." Said James through gritted teeth.

"Now Padfoot, don't anger him or he might get really mad."

"Damn right I will."

"Now who's playing?"

"I'll play." Said James.

"Count me out."

"Moony, you never learn." Said James, shaking his head.

"Yes I do. I just want to finish this paragraph and then I'll watch you play chess."

"We decided not to play chess, we'll play Gobstones."

"The count me in."

Remus put his book down and they began playing.

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

A/N: short, I know. And a bit pointless, but like I said, all the good parts aren't at the start of a fic. And thanks to all the people that reviewed, I love you guys. I'd sign autographs, but, you know, how am I supposed to give them to you?

URGENT!!! Now read this part because this is very important. I NEED MORE IDEAS! If anybody has some, could you send them to me? Please and thank you. Oh yeah, it would be better if you just sent it to my e-mail, skom70yahoo.com, instead of putting it in a review, but I don't care that much as long as you do review and give ideas.

REVIEW!!!
