A/N Hello everyone, I'm back, exams are over, the sun is shining... The only bad thing is that because of the stupid sun, I am now confined to my room because I have the worst sunburn in the world. My little brother has taken to calling me 'the lobster' and one of my friends asked why I decided to turn into a crustacean over night. Oh well. At least I have time to update all of my stories, which I'm sure everyone is very pleased by, right? Anyways, here are some thanks to my reviewers. You all get invisible, insubstantial chocolate. YAY!
By the way, there is story in this chapter, just scroll down till you reach the bold line of writing.

Answer: Awww, poor you! I know what it's like to lose a shoe in the mud. Once I was on a camping trip and I only had one pair of shoes and I lost one in the mud so I had to borrow one of my sister watershoes and it was five sizes too big for my foot. Isn't it weird how stupid little brothers can be at times? My little brother was looking at this math problem and he couldn't figure it out and it was like ten plus eighteen and he didn't believe me when I told him the answer was twenty eight. I'm not quite sure about the forever song, but I will check and see if it's wrong. Maybe there are two different versions? Thanks for reviewing, hope you get better soon.
Review: cath-a2ff-Good first chap! I love the title, very original. I like the plotting between Sirius and Rhea. Update soon!
Answer: Thanks! I rather like the title myself. I was going to call it Virtual Love, but I thought that Operation: GLAJTBTEOTYODT suited the people in the story better. Thanks for reviewing!
Review: staremerald-This is definetly the funniest story you've ever written. I LOVE it!
Favorite bit:
"Are you serious?"
"Yes I am. And you're Rhea."
Update or else! Darth Vader, guest star on 'Return of the Demon' if you'd ever read my next chapter!
Answer: Hey Emmy, thanks for reviewing, 'preciate it. I do like the sirius/serious pun quite a bit. And I've already read and reviewed your new chapter. Thanks for reviewing, see you on Monday (even though it's a holiday... YAY!)
Review: Serious Fan-Are they going to hook up!
Answer: Who? You really need to be specific about these things. If you mean James and Lily, then look at the title, and the first chapter. If you mean Sirius and Rhea, the answer is... Wouldn't you just like to know?
Review: sannhtjuh-i like this story too:P keep going..!
Answer: Thanks, I will keep going!
Review: NinitademiBrooke-It's a great start! I hope that you continue soon.
Answer: Thanks! I will continue this story.
Review: Annmarie Aspasia-Hmm... this actually sounds rather interesting, though Rhea seems a bit Mary-Sue. Still, that happens to the best of us.PLEASE UDPATE SOON!
Answer: Why do you think Rhea sounds Mary-Sue? What is a mary-sue? Why do people talk about things I don't understand? (Please note the obvious sarcasm in that last sentence). But really, why do you think that?
Review: Lillian-GIVES AWAY THE PLOT SO WILL NOT BE POSTED UP AND THE REVIEW WILL BE DELETED!
Answer: SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Other people can read this too you know! You've basically guessed the plot, so I suppose I should tell you that. For guessing the plot, I shall include you in the story, if you so wish it. See what I said to my first reviewer concerning info I need. Please leave another review, your input is appreciated! Just don't go giving away the plot again!
Right, now on with the story. There actually is a story, are you shocked?
Chapter 2
The first thing that Rhea and Sirius had to do was ask permision, something Sirius didn't like doing. But Rhea forced him into it.
On Sunday morning at 5:00 a.m., Rhea got up (extremely quietly), got dressed (extremely quietly), brushed her hair (extremely quietly) and went through her entire morning routine (extremely quietly). She was ready by 5:15 and snuck down the stairs, avoiding the creaky floorboards. Rhea sat down in one of the over-stuffed chairs by the fire and waited for Sirius to come down. And waited. And waited. And waited. At 5:30 (okay, so maybe I exaggerated on the whole 'and waited and waited' thing, but it was still annoying) she got out of the chair and walked into forbidden territory. The boys dorms. DA DA DA DUN!
Rhea crept silently up the stairs and into the hallway. The first door said 'First Year Boys'. She had quite a long way to go. All of a sudden the door creaked open and an eleven year old kid peaked out. He saw Rhea and stared at, blinking confusedly. "Who are you?" he asked.
"Uhhhh..." said Rhea, grasping around wildly for any idea. "I'm your dream!" she said with a sudden burst of inspiration. "Yeah, right now you're dreaming and I'm in your dream."
"You don't look like a dream," said the little boy, still confused.
"Well the wonders of dreams never cease," said Rhea, "Now why don't you go back into your dorm room before your dream becomes a nightmare."
The little boy opened his mouth, closed it, went into his room and closed the door. Rhea nearly laughed out loud, mentally congratulating herself on that amazing save. Once more she crept along the hall, praying that no one else would come out. Not everyone was a young a gullible first year. Someone up there must have liked her because she had no further problems until she reached the seventh years dorm.
Rhea quietly listened at the door.What was that sound? It was huge and rumbling, almost like snoring, but who could snore that loud? The answer came to Rhea when she opened the the door. The Marauders could snore that loud. She listened in amazement. How the heck did they do that? They were all, like, snoring in unison or something.
Rhea walked over to the first bed. Nope, not Sirius. James Potter was sleeping in long black pants and a blue T-shirt. Rhea had to resist when she thought of all the naughty things she could do to him while he slept (A/N And for all you sickos out there, not those sort of naughty things!). She could turn his hair green, shave it all off, give him a makeover, all that marvelous stuff. But she was on a mission. She walked to the next bed. Bingo. "Sirius,"she whispered. "Sirius, wake up."
Nothing seemed to wake him up. "Sirius Black, get your bloody butt out of that bed this instant or face the wrath of Rhea."
He still didn't stir. Rhea sighed. She hated to have to resort to this. Wait, no, scratch that last sentence. Rhea grinned evilly. She loved doing this. She pulled out her wand and whispered "Aqueas" and a jet of freezing cold ice water streamed from her wand onto his face. Sirius awoke with a girlish scream. Unfortunately, this woke his roommates as well. Sirius had just enough time to see Rhea slide under his bed before he heard James' voice say "Lumos" and a light came on next to Remus' bed. "What's up Sir?" asked James, "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, go back to bed, it was just a bad dream," said Sirius, trying to make his voice sound natural. Luckily the guys complied and soon the sound of simultaneous snoring filled the room.
Sirius stuck his head under the bed (A/N haha, I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!) and said, "Rhea, what the bloody heck are you doing here?" Rhea glared back at him. "If you remember, we were supposed to meet in the common room," she looked at her watch "forty five minutes ago!" Sirius looked rather sheepish. "Sorry Rhea," he muttered, scratching the back of his neck.
"Oh, it's ok, we still have time, we just need to be gone before Lily gets back from her run," said Rhea in a more business like manner.
"How can she do that? When does she wake up?" Sirius asked in a horrified tone. "Oh, she gets up and 4:45 and she usually is back at six, so we better get going." Rhea answered. Sirius looked shocked, and then muttered something incohereant along the lines of 'is that why she's so cranky all day', but Rhea didn't hear him. Or maybe she did, and decided not to respond because she is mature and smart.
Sirius and Rhea walked dowm to the common room and left through the portrait hole ("What are you two doing out so early?" asked the Fat Lady suspiciously) and down the hallway to Professor Dumbledore's office. "How do you know where Dumbledore's office is?" asked Rhea, as they tried to guess the password. "I've been here loads of times,"said Sirius. "So how come you don't know the password?" asked Rhea. "Because I haven't gotten detention for two days," Sirius answered, "His passwords always have something to do with candy though, so just say random names until it opens."
"Snickers"
"Cockroach Clusters"
"Airheads"
"Droobles Best Blowing Gum"
"Kit Kat bar"
And the gargoyle swung away. "What the heck is a Kit Kat bar, a Snickers and Airheads?" asked Sirius as they stepped onto the moving staircase. "They're all muggle sweets. Airheads are chewy, Snickers are chocolate, nuts and caramel and Kit Kat bars are chocolate and wafer (A/N I just ate a Kit Kat bar. I love Kit Kat bars).
Sirius didn't have a chance to respond because they had reached the top of the staircase. They both stepped out into Dumbledore's office, Rhea looking around in awe because this was the first time she'd seen it, and Sirius looking around with comfortable familiarity.
"What can I do for you two," asked Dumblesore, as he walked up to them.
"Well you see..."started Rhea.
"We wanted to do some thing for our friends," said Sirius,
"And we thought,"
"That maybe,"
"Just maybe,"
"You would,"
"Help us?"
"What is this thing that I could 'maybe' help you with," asked Dumbledore, eyes twinkling. And so they explained. All about Plans A through Z and their failure, about renaming the operation, about Rhea getting the idea and about why they thought it would be good.
"That was quite the speech," said Dumbledore when they had finished. "I think it would be an excellent idea, but we must do it over a break. Christmas is coming up, so I suppose we could use that, but they wouldn't want to be locked in a tower for Christmas. Ido believe that this year we shall extend Christmas break by one week, which will give you two weeks after Christmas to give them the obstacles. You must think up the obstacles of course, but i believe you will have enough ideas." Sirius and Rhea thanked the old coot-I mean, professor, and went to breakfast.
And so it was decided. The plan to get boy and girl together would commence in T - three weeks and counting. And it would work. Or, at least they hoped it would. They at least hoped that if they could not get boy and girl together, they could at least get them on speaking terms so the population of Hogwarts would not be deaf by the time they left.
A/N Thanks for reading, please review, especially my first reviewer and Lillian.
