Chapter 5: The Changing Tides

So, James was gonna get her back, but how? It's gotta be good! But, being good didn't help him decide what to do. He wanted her to feel the shock of the moat and the disgust he felt wearing a feminine set of nightclothes. That's it! I know what I'm gonna fix for her little surprise. I can't believe I didn't think of this before now! And off he went to get ready.

Lily had run out of soda, so she decided to take a quick visit to the corner store. While gone, James set it up. He went into her room. Above the door, with cords and supports, James set up a huge pail of slime to fall on her head when she opened her door. Then, he exited through the bathroom that connected to the hallway.

Lily came into the house as James reached the base of the stairs. She eyed him suspiciously. Something's not right. However, as far as she could tell, nothing was wrong either. She went over to the refrigerator and put away the bottles. She got to her room and.

"POOOTTEEERRR! You get here this bloody minute! If not, I will scalp you!" She finished her little rant upon his arrival at her door. He stared at her for a moment.

Lily Evans was covered from head to toe in a thick, green substance the consistency of unset Jell-o. It oozed into her shirt, where it seemed colder than it did on the rest of her body.

"I told you you'd pay and now you have!!!" he laughed!

For some strange reason, it seemed it was infectious. Lily, too, even thought slightly livid, started laughing very hard.

"Hey, Evans. The stuff matches your eyes; by the way, he threw out there, just like that. Then, a thought came over Lily. She walked up to him, slid her slimy arms around him and covered him the same substance.

"Evans! Wha- you just covered my in this crap! Why?" With that, she reached down, grabbed a gob of it and rubbed it into his hair and all over his head.

"What are you doing? I can't believe what your doing! Eva-" he trailed off.

She didn't know what she was doing either, but a powerful voice on her head urged her on and she kissed him. They lowered and lay right down on the slimy floor and made out like there was no tomorrow for two minutes until Lily remembered herself, apologized and moved away. The fighting was back on furiously at that.
