Yay! I passed my goal! Thank you!

"talking"

'thinking'

Lily woke up to a typical day, with the birds chirping, and for one blissful moment it was peaceful. She peaked in her shopping bag and all was normal, there was that sundress she tried on, but what was this?

Her eyes widened, 'these couldn't be…thongs?' She immediately pushed Paige awake, "Paige, Paige, someone's switched bags with me. Look at these." The blood red thong was held between her index finger and her thumb, as if it were some unimaginable abomination.

Paige blushed, "I don't think they switched bags, look, I can see the dress you tried on. Um, maybe you should talk to Brianna." She looked guiltily at Brianna. She hoped that Brianna could calm an angry Lily.

"How could Brianna know…" Her eyes narrowed, she crouched low, careful to be quiet. As soon as she was close enough to Brianna's ear, she shouted.

James POV

"WHAT DID YOU DO!#$#$$$$&&"

James widened his eyes and immediately got up, before he realized he was on a bed he went toppling face first into the floor. "oomph oor shet?" He was talking floor (1)

Sirius groaned, "What the hell was that?"

James sighed, "I said what was that."

"I know what you said, I'm asking what was that."

"Exactly, that was me asking what was that."

"No, James, I'm asking, what was that shouting."

"I wasn't shouting."

Sirius took a long look at James, then suddenly whacked him, 'I'm getting whacked a lot." James thought.

"I know you weren't shouting you idiot, who was just yelling?"

"Well, why didn't you say that before? I don't know who that was, I just asked what was that, duh."

Sirius and James traveled to a far land (2) and opened the door that lead to the girls dorm.

They found one of the weirdest sight either of them had ever seen.

The first thing they noticed was the noise, they hadn't heard in the hallway so obviously someone had placed a charm around the room. Then they saw clothes, everywhere. There was a swimsuit somewhere, shirts, pants, dresses, hats, undergarments, all flying this way and that. At first James thought someone had charmed the clothes too, until he saw Lily with her pillow beating the life out of Riley, Paige, and especially Brianna (3).

Sirius and James immediately leaped into action. Sirius managed to drag Brianna away, and James grabbed Lily from behind.

"WHAT DID YOU DO, LET GO YOU PERVERT, WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR? I'LL LOOK LIKE A SLUT! A SLUT!" James almost dropped her, he wouldn't mind seeing Lily dressed up in scanty articles of clothing, but he sure as hell didn't want Sirius to see her.

"Whoa, Whoa, ladies, what is going on? Fighting over me are you?" Sirius said, amused. He was met with four pillows smacking form behind.

Lily spoke, "These three girls, changed all of the clothes I picked out! Everything is now too low, or too high. It's all stuff that I would never wear."

"Lily, we didn't change all of your clothes, just a few. Let's face it, you are stuck 40 years in the past. Nobody wears the stuff you call normal" Riley said.

"But look at this top! It goes down so low, that you'd be able to see half my chest!" James looked fervently.

Brianna spoke, "Lily, Lily, Lily. Your not supposed to wear just that! You wear a tank top underneath it! With a little help, we can get you looking pretty, and totally non-sluttish. We just thought you needed a little push, it's not as if you would have bought any of this if you had gone shopping by yourself."

"Damn right I wouldn't."

"Boys get out, we're going to teach little Lily a lesson about fashion." Brianna spoke.

"Why do we have to get out?"

"Because, our lessons include trying clothes on, meaning no boys aloud." Paige pointed out.

Sirius pouted, "No fair, James gets to stay!" Sirius ran out as James went to chase his dear best friend.

Lily's POV

'This is not good. This is not good at all.' In the next hour her brain was stuffed about stripes, spots, classic blacks, no wearing white after Labor Day, no wearing colors such as yellow etc.

Her head was spinning, "You should wear gold's, earthy colors, but no wearing Grays, navy's, taupe's, purples and pinks. 'have I worn purple? I did, how horrible I must of looked.' Lily wasregretting the fact that she never used the mirror.

"Certain reds are fine, but make sure they don't clash with your hair color. Oh, and green will do wonders! It matches you eyes and if goes so perfectly with you complexion! Now our lesson on clothes is over. Did you get everything? Do you have any questions?"

"Er…"

"Great, now makeup, you should know this. Even though we're having professionals do our makeup today, you should at least know the basics. No one is better at seeing clashing colors on your own body then yourself."

"Oh, okaayyy, wait, did you say today?"

"Yes, now listen." 'James never mentioned a shooting today! He's gonna get it when I'm finished with this stupid lesson.'

So Lily spent another half hour listening about lipsticks, such as Strawberry, and eye shadows. However, the entire time was spent on thinking about the different ways she could make James pay.

30 painstakingly long minutes later…

And that's how you choose the right shade of eyeliner. Some prefer darker shades, and others prefer lighter shades of brown. Now, as a test, you are to pick out an outfit, and put on some makeup. Not a lot, as much as you want. If we can tell the difference between your face with, and without makeup it's okay.

Lily looked hesitantly at the mounds of clothes on the ground. She magicked them to be neat and tidy in her dresser. 'What did they say? Was it gold or grey I can't wear?' She looked, and saw something, it was a green zip up sweater. She grabbed it and also got some faded out jeans. 'You can't go wrong with Jeans' She still needed something to wear underneath her sweater and some kind of accessory. She arbitrarily got a light blue sequenced tank top and found a butterfly ornament to put in her hair. She looked up at Paige to get some sign that she did it right, or wrong. Paige just smiled.

She left for the bathroom, put her clothes on, and went to the mirror searching for makeup. She was not wearing eyeliner or mascara so she put on some strawberry lipstick and some blush. She looked at her reflection, she did not look that terrible. She just wanted this test to be over. She put on some eye shadow that looked seemingly innocent and finished by putting the butterfly ornament in her hair.

'Can I tell the difference between my face without makeup and with? Yes. Am I wearing okay colors that don't clash?' she looked at herself, 'yes. Do I look okay?' She couldn't tell.

Nervously she got out. Riley inspected her makeup job, while Brianna scrutinized her clothes thoroughly. Paige merely looked at her hair thoughtfully.

Brianna smiled, "Girls?" She looked expectant as they gathered around her to whisper about her outfit. At once they all nodded.

Paige was the one that spoke, "You passed, Brianna thought it looked a little plain, but we all agreed you passed."

Lily was relieved, she could leave! "Thank you!" And with that she left to find James.

James POV

He hoped the girls weren't late. All the women he knew took a long time to get ready, his mother, his cousins, his past girlfriends, fellow models, all of them. He saw Lily come rushing down, she looked great. She had some makeup on which he didn't like at all, but she looked nice. You could hardly tell she was inept in style. "You ready?" He said casually. She just smiled at him, them whacked him what must have been the 13,000 time.

'Why did she do that? All I did was ask if she was ready for the…" He blanched, 'I told her about the shoot, right? I specifically remember telling her at the…damn, I never told her!"

"Er, Lily?"

"Yes James?"

"I forgot to tell you about the shooting today."

"I know."

"Are you mad?"

"Yes James."

"Would you feel better if you hit me again?"

"No." She did it anyway.

So the other girls came down, and everyone was ready for the shooting.The guys explained how they were going to get there, and how they would do the shooting. Sirius would go first, then James, then Remus, and Peter was last.

So they flood there and they were met with busy photographers, other models, and makeup artists. James pointed the girls in the direction of their dressing rooms and they went their seperate ways.

Lily POV (first person)

We had two makeup artists, Pierre, and Celia, his apprentice. They started with Brianna because she was to go first. Pierre gave her the outfit she was to wear and started on her makeup as soon as she was dressed. He then asked Celia to start on me. I was to wear something surprisingly close to my Hogwarts uniform. I got dressed and then Celia started to work her magic. It was an odd time for me. Everything seemed so surreal, I was being treated like royalty. Me and Celia made some small talk.

"So you a newbie?"

"Err, I guess so."

"I heard James just picked someone from Hogwarts. I heard the rumors, but you are very pretty."

I blushed, "Not really."

Then Pierre came and shoed Celia, and asked her to start on Riley. He muttered about what a trashy job Celia had done, I thought she had done well. Then again, I barely passed my "test." I waited for awhile for Brianna to finish. I secretly looked at them modeling. It looked so natural for Brianna, almost as if she was born to do this. Sirius of course looked as calm as ever.

I met James behind the cameraman.

"Are you okay?" He whispered.

I wasn't going to answer, I was still mad at him.

"A little." Drat I answered.

He smiled that charming smile, "don't worry.'

Soon it was our turn, but I was still worried. Our background was a classroom from Hogwarts. We posed a few times. The photographer told me to lean against James, and for him to put his arms around me. It was a little awkward because we were sitting on desks. I shivered, not sure if it was from the cold or the fact that James was so close. 'It's only because you've never been this close to anyone,' I told myself.

I found that our poses were a little too close. We were modeling partners, not a couple. I found myself an inch away from James's face, trying to look passionate, and not cross my eyes. Then the photographer told me to do something totally unexpected.

"Kiss him."

Me, kiss him! I felt my heartbeat quicken as James leaned in. As the camera flashed, I leaned back, unwilling to kiss James.

The camera man stopped, "That was cute, but Lily, that's not the type of cute we're looking for. Now kiss him."

"Do I have to?"

The man just stared, "What are you new?"

I thought it would be rude to mention that I was.

We tried again, this time I pushed James away, not hard.

Sighing the man explained, "You two are supposed to be the couple in love, you can't be in love without kissing."

"The couple in love?"

"Yes, that's right, James why don't you try and calm this girl and send in Remus."

James moved out of the way, asked for Remus, and dragged me off to a secluded corner.

"You never mentioned the couple part."

James sighed, "Lily, I didn't think it was that important."

"Of course it is! It's the difference between my first kiss being with a man I've know for less then a week, and with my soul mate." I purposly forgot about the feminine aisle kiss.

"Lily, we still have to kiss, it doesn't have to be a big deal. My first kiss was on the set. I swear it involves no tongue, it just has to look like it."

"How on earth do you do that?"

"I'll tell you when we're at the shoot again."

"James I can't just learn how to do it right when you explain it."

"It's not really explained, it's more like one of those things that has to be experienced."

I groaned, "Fine, then teach me." James looked surprised.

"Alright, angle you face," he moved my head, and he hesitated. "Then I just, well I just kiss you. I closed my eyes, and before long I felt James's soft lips on mine. My eyes opened immediately. If I was looking at us, I probably thought we were snogging.

James finished the kiss, softly he said, "Just like that." I was breathless for a moment, but that was normal, I just experienced my first kiss. "I think it looked convincing, but every once in a while re-angle your head and put your arms around me, or something."

I nodded, because I couldn't do anything else.

My first kiss was with mega-hunk James Potter, a man lusted for by many, yet Iwas one of the few that couldn't call himsexy.

Like it? Love it? Gotta Have it? Haha, I sound like Coldstone's scoups.
