"Alright guys, you don't have to kiss every second," James said. It was getting dark and they were all in the hot tub, talking and sharing stories. Every few seconds Sirius and Marissa would kiss.

Mara rolled her eyes. "This is how you and Lily are. We've all had to put up with this every second of the day. This is just payback," and with a satisfactory smile, Sirius leaned in and kissed Marissa again.

Remus and Claudia both groaned at the same time. "I'm getting out and getting something to eat," announced Claudia, climbing out of the hot tub and grabbing a towel.

"Wait up, I'm coming too," Remus said, also grabbing a towel and sprinting over to Claudia.

"Me too!" Lily said, getting up.

James pulled her back down. "I finally get the hot tub and you want to get out?"

Lily grinned slyly and whispered in his ear. James' smile widened again, and Marissa could've sworn she went back in time to that Hogsmeade weekend.

"Okay I'm getting out too!" James said, leaping up.

Once they left, Sirius grinned. "We have the hot tub to ourselves!"

Mara smiled seductively and leaned in close to him. "Yes we are. What are going to do in all this time we have together?"

Sirius shrugged, pulling her close. "I'm not sure. Wait I have a great idea!" Sirius leaned down and, well, you can guess what else happened. ;)

"Where are they? They've been out there for almost an hour," Lily said thoughtfully after she finished her pizza. Lily called and ordered it for everyone. Remus and James were amazed with the process that they kept ordering stuff to put on it. The pizza was so thick that after you've had three slices, you're full.

James shrugged, grabbing another slice. "Dunno, but I bet they are going to have a good time. So when are your parents coming home Lily?"

Lily grinned. "Probably late, we could stay up until at least one. But we have to be in bed by the time they get home."

After a few minutes everyone heard laughing and saw Sirius and Marissa walk into the kitchen, hand in hand.

"Took you long enough. We ordered pizza," Claudia said.

Marissa sat right down and grabbed a slice, but Sirius kept looking at the delivery box questionably.

"What's pits-a?" Sirius asked, picking up a slice and examining it.

Lily, Marissa, and Claudia burst out laughing. James smiled through a mouthful of pizza. "It's fa bwest suff in fa word! Try some!"

Sirius took a small bite out of the slice he was holding. "Mmm, this stuff is awesome! Hear, pass me a plate with two more slices!"

Remus sighed. "You turned him into a monster, Lily. He won't give up on pizza for another two weeks."

Lily smiled, watching Sirius devour his third piece and reach for a fourth. "I probably did, but I won't be around to see it."

Between Sirius and James, the two boys finished half of the (extra large) pizza. After everyone finished, they headed to the cozy den where they could sit by the fire and talk.

After a few hours of talking, Claudia yawned and stood up. "I'm dead tired. 'Night everyone!"

There were various calls of goodnight. Then Marissa stood up. "I'm going to follow her example. See you in the morning."

Marissa was walking out of the room when Sirius said, "Oy! What about me?"

Marissa turned and grinned evilly. "See you in the morning Sirius!"

"Wait just a minute," Sirius said and chased after Mara.

Remus chuckled and stood up. "Goodnight children, don't stay up to late," he said with a smile and walked out of the den and towards his bedroom.

Lily pushed James down on the couch they were laying on and kissed him. "We have three hours do to whatever we want," she said.

James smiled and pulled her close to him. "I love you so much."

"I love you even more."

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

It was well after midnight when the young couple went to bed. James walked into the room to find Sirius dancing around the room and singing and Remus holding a pillow of his head.

"Listen baby, ain't no mountain high, ain't no valley wide enough baby!" Sirius sang, twirling in circles and falling down on the carpet. But he just giggled and got up.

James was in such great spirits that he joined in and took the other part of the song. "If you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far!"

"Don't worry baby!"

"Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry, you don't have to worry, 'cause baby there,"

And with this part, James and Sirius joined in a duet, which Remus hated because they were both horrible singers.

"Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you babe oh oh oh!"

"No no darling,"

"No wind, no rain!"

James and Sirius were trying to sing more, but no sound came out. They turned to Remus, who was sitting up in his bed with a wand pointed in their direction. "Now that you have shut up, listen. I'm trying to go to sleep. I can't do that when you two are singing horribly. So, I'll remove the charm when you two get into your beds and stop moving!"

James and Sirius shared a grim look and went to their beds and lay down, looking expectantly at Remus. Remus removed the charm and lay down. A few moments later, James heard him snoring.

Sirius also started snoring a little while later. But James couldn't sleep. He lay there looking up at the ceiling, thinking about Lily. He was running the proposal over in his mind. How could I have ever lived without her? He thought to himself.

James loved her so much. Every little thing about her made his heart swell with joy. He hoped she said yes. If not, James wouldn't know what to do. Without Lily, he didn't think he could go on.

Lily was also lying in bed, thinking about James. She heard the front door open and close, and knew her parents were home. She closed her eyes to fake sleep when her parents checked in on her.

Rob and Jen went to every room, checking on their guests. Lily heard them walk up more stairs to their bedroom. When she heard their door close, she sat up in bed and took out her photo album.

She was giggling at a picture of the Marauders waving excitedly to the camera when she heard a knock on her door. Lily closed the photo album and padded over to her door.

James stood there, smiling brightly. "Hey, I can't sleep. Can you?"

Lily shook her head and pulled James in. "We have to be quiet," she said, giving James a tight hug.

James kissed Lily and flopped down on her bed, pulling out the photo album. "You were looking at this?" he asked.

Lily nodded and curled up beside him, opening the album. After they finished laughing quietly at the pictures, Lily put the album away and pulled the covers up to her shoulders. She snuggled closer to James, and felt herself getting drowsy.

"I think I'm going to go to sleep. 'Night James." Lily said while yawning.

James pulled her closer and rested his head on the top of hers. "'Night Lily. I love you."

"I love you back." Lily muttered sleepily. James fell asleep to Lily's breathing.

Remus woke up the next morning to find James bed empty. He looked over to Sirius' bed and saw him half on it and half off of it. Remus felt it was time for some payback and soundproofed the room. He then raised his wand in the air and it emitted a very loud bang.

Sirius screamed shrilly and fell off the bed. "I swear it wasn't me Professor!" he yelled.

Remus doubled over laughing. "You…gasp…scream…gasp…like…gasp…a girl!" Remus sputtered, falling on the floor laughing at Sirius' expression.

"You will pay Lupin!" Sirius growled, and started getting dressed. "Once I think of something good enough, you will pay."

Remus wiped the tears from his eyes. "Right, whatever you say."

The two boys got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen. They smelled pancakes and bacon cooking. They walked in to see Claudia and Mara munching on bacon while Rob read the paper and Jen was cooking a pile of pancakes.

"Good morning!" Jen said in a sing-song voice, piling pancakes and bacon on two plates.

"Who said it was good?" grumbled Sirius. Marissa gave Remus a quizzical look.

"I woke Sirius up this morning." Remus said.

Marissa nodded in understanding. "Hey, where are Lily and James?" Mara asked.

"I'm not sure, James wasn't in the room this morning. I thought he was down here eating." Remus said.

Mara jumped up and grabbed Sirius' hand. "We will go on a rescue mission! Come Sirius!" Mara ran out of the room, pulling along a grumbling Sirius.

They went to Lily's bedroom and peeked inside. "Awwww, Sirius look!" she said.

Sirius looked in and saw James holding Lily protectively and Lily's arms around James. Sirius grinned and summoned his camera. He clicked a picture and a flash lit the room. James opened his eyes slowly. Mara and Sirius rushed out of the room before James could see them.

"They will be down shortly," Mara said promptly as Sirius and her walked calmly into the kitchen.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, James and Lily walked in. "Ah, look who got up! We're having pancakes and bacon!" Sirius said cheerfully, winking at James and holding up a camera.

James eyes narrowed. "You-" James stopped talking when Mara nonchalantly pointed a finger at Rob and Jen, who were talking quietly with each other.

"So Lils, we have until four to stay. What do you want to do?" Claudia said while finishing off her bacon.

"Well, I was thinking we could do some muggle things, since Sirius, James and Remus were so amazed by pizza-"

"Oooh! I have a great idea! Let's go get pizza!" Sirius grinned widely.

Lily ignored his comment and continued. "We can also go bowling and go to an ice skating rink and go shopping at the mall and basically anything else you want to do."

James, Sirius, and Remus looked at each other questionably. "Let's go then!" James said.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"Could we have one game of bowling for six people?" Lily asked the man at the front desk.

"Shoe sizes?" he grumbled. Lily listed them all and gave the man money needed for the game. They made their way over to lane eighteen.

"Alright! How do you play?" Sirius said anxiously, rubbing his hands together and looking around.

Mara got up. "I'll demonstrate. I find a ball I like over here," Mara walked over to one of the racks full of balls and picked up a ten, "Then I walk over to right here," she stood on the wood floor, "I run up and throw the ball down the lane. You want to get all of the pins down on your first try. But you get two tries to do it. Watch me," Marissa posed herself and started to run forward. She arched her arm back and threw the ball down the lane. It rolled down the middle and knocked over eight pins.

"That looks so easy!" Remus said. "Anyone can do that!"

The boys were mesmerized as the gate came down and knocked over extra pins. Then they watched as the ball came out of the machine ("It's magic!" said Sirius, amazed.). Marissa showed them how to put their fingers in the hole and how they should stand.

Lily and Claudia went next. Then it was James' turn. "Lily, come with me," he said. Lily guided him over to the ball racks. "I want this sparkly blue one," James said, pointing to a ball.

Lily saw the size was sixteen pounds. "Are you sure? That's a really heavy one."

James nodded. "Of course! How do I put my fingers in the hole again?" Lily showed him how. When he picked up the ball off the rack, he dropped it on the floor, leaving a crack. The man at the desk gave James a nasty look, but Lily smoothed it over by smiling and waving flirtatiously.

"I told you. Start off with a ten," Lily said, picking up a brown swirled one. She walked up with James, but guided him over to the line at the end of the lane. "Maybe you guys should just throw it from here first," Lily said. James swung his arm back and threw the ball. It rolled down into the gutter.

"But it didn't go down the middle like I wanted it to," James said, scratching his head.

"You have to aim. Here, get your ball and I'll help you."

James nodded and went back to the machine. "Whoa…Lily! It came out of the hole!" James tried to put his hand in the machine but Lily quickly rushed over and moved him away from it, feeling like she was babysitting a two year old. James rolled the ball and got six pins down.

"Yes! Did you see that! I knocked the pipes down!" James said, jumping up and down.

"Pins," corrected Lily, "Okay Sirius, your turn."

Sirius walked over to the ball rack and picked up a seven and walked up to the line. He put his arm back and he threw hard. The ball went three lanes over.

Mara had to get the ball and help him. Sirius didn't get any pins down.

Remus then picked a ten ball and gently let it go. It went straight but stopped in the middle of the lane. The man at the front desk had to go get it. It took Remus three tries to get the ball to touch the pins and even then it did it so lightly that none of the pins fell down.

After many mistakes and almost getting thrown out of the bowling alley by the manager, they finished the game. James had 41, Remus had 22, Sirius had 18, Claudia had 110, Mara had 152 and Lily had 124.

"I'm hungry, lets get pizza!" Sirius said. They made their way to a pizza parlor and ordered an extra large supreme pizza with the works. Sirius and James once again ate most of it.

"Let's go ice skating now!" said Claudia.

"What's that?" Remus asked.

"It's where you put on these shoes with blades on them and you balance on the ice. Then you kind of glide over it while they play music." explained Claudia.

"That sounds stupid," Sirius said.

"It's not, it's harder than bowling. Let's go to the skating rink in the mall, that way we can also go shopping afterwards." Claudia said.

They took a taxi to the mall and paid two dollars each to get into the rink. Mara once again demonstrated and took Sirius out on the ice. Lily took James and Claudia took Remus. The boys couldn't seem to balance on the ice.

After a while Remus got the hang of it. Then Sirius did and he learned pretty fast how to do tricks. James was having the worst trouble.

"Come on sweetie you can do it," Lily said while pulling James up, "Grab my arm and hang on to me. Now balance for a second. Good! You're getting it. Now slowly glide."

James, clutching Lily, moved slowly across the rink. "Good! Now move faster," Lily said. James gained more speed. After a while he good do it almost perfectly.

After they all got tired of going around and around in circles, they went up to the mall part. The Marauders were amazed with all that they found in there. They went into Spencer's and they were mesmerized with all the lights. Sirius and James found some of the more naughty things, which Remus overlooked and ignored.

"Oooh, we have to go in Rue 21! They are having a huge sale!" Claudia said, guiding the group over to the store.

The three boys just stood there looking around while the girls were shopping. Then Sirius walked over to a huge bin of panties. "Oy! Look at this!" he called. James and Remus went over there and started picking up various panties.

"Wow this one has a disco ball on it!" James said. He grinned and put them on over his jeans.

Sirius smiled and picked out one with a penguin on it and put it over his jeans. Remus stood there with a bemused smile on his face. "Moony, pick one out!" Sirius said, stuffing one with a rubber duck on his head.

Remus shook his head. "I'll just watch and wait for your girlfriends to yank you out of here." James shrugged and dug around in the bin, finding a pumpkin one and jamming it on his head.

Sirius grinned evilly, mischief in his eyes. "I think our Slytherin friends might want some at our graduation dance."

James smiled. "They are on sale too. Let's get a few cute pairs."

Lily was about to go over to the shoes when she saw Sirius and James wearing panties over their jeans and on their heads while Remus was leaning against the bin, biting back a laugh. "What are they doing now?" Lily muttered. "Marissa! Claudia!" she called. They came over to her and Lily pointed to the Marauders.

"I don't even want to know," Marissa said and continued shopping.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"Bye Lily! Call me if you want to get together again!" Claudia said, standing in front of the fireplace in Lily's living rooms.

Lily gave her friend a hug. "I will. Thank you so much for coming!"

Claudia waved as she stood in the fireplace. She called out her address and in a second she was gone.

James just remembered he had to talk to Lily's father. "Lily I'll be right back. I think I left something in my room." Lily nodded and James made his way to Rob's study.

He knocked softly on the door and Rob's voice called, "Come in!"

James entered the room, suddenly shy. "Rob, is it okay if I talk to for a second?"

Rob smiled. "Of course! What would you like?"

James cleared his throat. "Well, I was wondering if I could have your blessing. You see, I'm going to ask Lily to marry me."

Rob's smile saddened. "Really? That's wonderful! But I must say it's a little too young to be married at seventeen."

"Oh no, sir. I wasn't planning on having the actual wedding until after school," James said in a rush.

Nodding, Rob said, "That's better, before I give you my blessing, you need to promise me something."

James hands started to sweat. "What is it sir?"

"Always take care of my baby girl. Never let anything happen to her. Always love her and let her be as happy as she possibly can be."

James nodded. He was smiling. "Of course sir. I would die before anything would happen to her. I love her so much. I promise I will always take care of her."

Rob nodded, tears shining in his eyes. "Good. She'll say yes James. She loves you very much."

"Thank you sir. I probably have to go now." James said. Rob nodded and shook his hand. James made his way downstairs. Remus was just disappearing in the fire and Lily was alone.

James engulfed her in a hug. "I love you Lily. Keep owling me everyday."

Lily nodded. "I will. I love you too."

James softly kissed her neck. "Gail will kill me if I'm here too long. I better go." But James made no move to the fireplace. Instead he just stood there with Lily in his arms. He gave her a deep kiss and stepped over to the fireplace.

Lily saw his lopsided grin just before he disappeared through the fire.

Author Notes: Blahhhhhh I hate this chapter. (sigh) Oh well, I changed it best I could. I will update the later chapters when I finish this huge history project I haven't started on that's due Monday lol. I already wrote the first part. That chapter is going to be extremely difficult to write…

Review Responses:

xx-Heartbroken: No problem! I don't think I'll change my actual style but I'm going to edit a lot of it to make it better. Earlier chapters are so cheesy to me.

Snow Queen72593: Thanks! I know what you mean, guys are always portrayed as sweethearts with feelings in most books when in reality they are the opposite. Wow I'm very cruel…anyways you don't write long reviews, they are fine!

Demi: I looked back on chapter thirteen to try and adapt your changes, but I would need to stick it in a different scenario, like them all talking in the dorm room. I'm defiantly going to change it as soon as my history project is completed and I have a new later chapter out lol. Thank you so much for you input!

Well enough stalling, I must work! R/R!
