As usual, I don't own anything or anyone, I'm so poor! WAHHHHHHH! Just kiddin. But I don't own no characters or places. Just the storyline. Don't sue!

Well, it's been a long time. I went to visit me old gramps! They din have no internet… NOOOOOOOOOO! It was a bloody flippin nightmare! Anyhow, ENJOY!

Lily and James walked to the house, hand in hand. Both of them were felling extremely overjoyed. As they walked along, none of them noticed a small rat following nearby…

When they reached the house, they apparated in. Sirius was humming happily in a way that scared Lily. What was worse, was that he was in the kitchen… Lily sniffed the blackish looking air around her, then she realized, that the gas was on. She gave off a loud screech and dashed into the kitchen. "BLACK!" she roared. "YOU IMBECILE! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" She continued.

Sirius seemed to be ignoring her. "I'm cooking. Is that so wrong?"

"No, it isn't, but leaving the gas on, IS! The whole house could have come down in flames! ARGH! What a night."

"Why, what else happened?" asked Remus, curious.

"Well, James asked me to marry him." said Lily blushing.

"What did you say?" asked Sirius eagerly.

"Whaddya think?" Lily asked glaring.

"Um, you said no, that you two couldn't be together or something?" Sirius said.

"You know, I said the sorta kinda same thing when she said what else she would say. That is just not normal…" James said grinning happily from the doorframe. Lily looked back and grinned. To James, he had never seen anything so innocent, so pure, so beautiful. "Either way, Padfoot, what were you cooking?" James asked.

"Strawberry shortcakes." Came the answer. "What?" he asked as everyone stared. "I like them, OK? Is that so wrong?"

Lily and Remus asked at the same time, "What's the wok for?"

"To cook the shortcakes in, no duh!" Sirius said as if it was obvious.

Lily burst into laughter and fell onto the floor in giggles. Remus dropped the cup of water he was holding. Lily managed to gasp between breaths, "I have an idea, we can use them to poison Snape!" Remus couldn't help himself and collapsed against a wall to support himself. Just then, a lady apparated into the room. "Hullo kids. What's up?"

James just said, "Hey mom. Meet Lily, my girlfriend. Do you have any idea of what's going on?" he asked puzzled.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Sirius made some shortcake in the wok, what's so funny about that?" he asked as his mother burst into laughter.

Lily managed to compose herself first. She explained to a bewildered James and Sirius, "Shortcake has to be baked, like cake. Never I repeat never make chocolate cake in a pot, or shortcake in a wok, got that?"

Upon hearing the words 'chocolate cake in a pot', Mrs. Potter fell over again. Lily helped her up and smiled. "Hi, I'm Lily Evans."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Mrs. Potter, call me Mrs. P." Mrs. Potter said in between gasps.

"Want some dinner?" she asked.

"Why thank you."

"I hope you don't mind cold potatoes." Lily said.

"Nope. I kinda like them." Lily grinned.

"Go upfront to the table, the pasta's already there." Lily instructed. "I'll bring the potatoes." Mrs. Potter smiled warmly and went to the living room. She was beginning to like this girl.

5 minutes later, they were sitting at the living room. Sirius helped himself to a potato, then yet again bit into it skin and all. Lily groaned. "Black, how many times do I have to tell you that you are supposed to cut it in half, then stuff it then eat it!" she said exasperated. "Goodness."

Mrs. Potter almost toppled over in her chair. "Sirius, you are strange!' she said when calmed down.

"I pride my self on it!" boasted Sirius, as Lily and Remus smacked their foreheads. Sirius saw them, then followed suit. "OUCH!"

"You need help Black." Said Lily. James was laughing silently.

"My dear child, I do agree." Said Mrs. Potter. As the night waned by, Mrs. Potter and Lily began to like each other. (A/N: Not that way psychos!)

In private, James was having a conversation with his mother. "Mom, she's the one."

"How can you know?"

"I've liked her from first year."

"So?"

"Mother, I proposed."

"WHAT?"

"Shhhhh!" James hushed.

"You did what?" His mother whispered harshly.

"I proposed."

"Well, good." Said his mother, having a change of tone.

"Huh?"

"Yes son, I really like her. She's a nice girl. She's not bad at all. How bout we have her to stay a bit?"

"Ok. To tell you the truth, that was what we were going to do, we just didn't know where you were, so we came here."

"Ok, fine, lets go tomorrow."

AHA! CLIFFIE! Not exactly, but whadda heck? REVIEW! And Flames are for toasting marshmallows!
