Chapter 5-Lost

The days after the incident in the pool went by slowly for Lily. Mercedes and Annie were constantly questioning her about why she was so upset. On top of that she could always feel James's gaze burning into her back. This, of course, would make anyone uncomfortable so Lily tried to make the least amount of contact with any of the Marauders as she could.

James on the other hand was having a hard time controlling himself. All he wanted was her lips on his again but with her ignoring him no opportunity presented itself.

--------------------------------------

"Everyone knows that today is canoe trip day, so I was thinking that whoever gets paired up with either James or Lily has to switch for some unknown reason causing them to be in a canoe together for at least an hour. What do you guys think?"

"You know Padfoot, I think that is the most intelligent thing you have said since we got here."

"Why thank-you Moony"

"You know what I think. I think we should get them lost," said a rather mischievous looking Annie.

"That's a neato idea."

"Neato?"

"Shut-up Sirius. Maybe we could give them the wrong map." Said Mercedes with a look on her face which said that she was getting excited.

"Let's do it!"

--------------------------------------

"Okay for the canoeing trip today, I will be splitting you into boy/girl pairs, as I have been doing for the camp season. The pairs are Remus and Lily, James and Annie and Mercedes and Sirius. Any complaints?"

Annie's hand shot into the air.

"You always have a complaint. What is it now?"

'Well, I have to go with Remus because I suck a canoeing and, no offence James, but James does too. Lily and Remus are both very good canoers so, we should switch partners."

"Fine if you must. I do not really care. Lily is now with James and Annie is with Remus. Got it. Get it. Good!"

--------------------------------------

"I cannot believe that I am stuck with him." Thought Lily as she walked with James towards the canoeing dock.

James was thinking the exact opposite, "Yes! This is great! Maybe we will talk and I can finally tell her how I feel."

There wasn't much for the six teenagers to do during this canoe activity. There was only the two of them in the boat and they just had to paddle around the lake making sure no groups got stranded or capsized.

As James and Lily were entering their red canoe, Annie popped out of nowhere and said. "Here is your map guys. Sue told me to give us all one just in case we got lost."

Sure enough the title of the map was Lake Rachelle, the lake on which the camp was located.

"Thanks very much Annie." said James extremely politely.

With that said James pushed their boat away from the dock and Lily and him started to paddle their way around the lake looking cautiously at the map to find out where they were.

--------------------------------------

" I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GOT US LOST ON THIS TINY LAKE." Screamed Lily and the top of her lungs. Their canoe was now located in a secluded marsh with nothing but trees and thrushes around them and no obvious way to get out.

"I didn't do it on purpose. There is nothing on this map that indicates this place. In fact this map looks nothing like this lake." Stated an obviously confused James.

"Whatever. We have lunch with us so why don't we just tie the canoe to that tree and eat, while I try to figure out how to get back." Said Lily looking at her watch. It was already 4 o'clock because Lily said they couldn't stop for lunch until they were no longer lost. But this didn't work because they were now more lost than they were before.

--------------------------------------

"Hey guys! How was canoeing? Wait a minute where are Lily and James?"

"We think they got lost Sue. Do you want us to go find them?" questioned Remus hoping that she would say no.

"No. They are old enough. I'm sure they can find a way back"

--------------------------------------

"Lily we need to talk."

"About what James?"

"The kiss or should I say kisses Lily. Stop being so daft."

"It was never meant to happen James. Is that enough talking?"

"NEVER MEANT TO HAPPEN! Lily how could you say that? You know you felt the sparks just like I did."

"What sparks?"

"Okay you know what. Let me kiss you and I will show you the sparks and then you tell me what you felt."

"No James not happening" said Lily as she started to walk away because deep down she knew that if he kissed her again she wouldn't be able to resist.

"C'mon Lily "said James as his quidditch reflexes kicked in and he caught and spun her around. With this they both fell on the floor due to the picnic basket that just happened to trip them. Lily landed with James on top of her. Both of their breathing was becoming haggard and with one last word Lily said, "James" and their lips crashed against each other both feeling the want and the need for each other in the kiss. Soon the kiss intensified and they were full-blown making out on a patch of grass in underneath a tree with their canoe tied up beside them. James rolled off Lily and Lily moved closer to him with her head resting on his chest.

"So did you feel anything?"

"Definitely not" said Lily sarcastically.

They both got really comfortable and fell into a light dreamless sleep not knowing that on the shore people were beginning to panic.

--------------------------------------

"How screwed up was the map you gave them! It is already 8 o'clock and they are not back yet!" yelled Mercedes at Annie.

"It wasn't that messed!" Annie screamed back. Both were equally worried about their friends where Remus and Sirius didn't care and were playing a game of exploding snap while they kids who they were suppose to be watching were getting in a pop fight and no one was stopping them.

"You know what guys, if they are not back before dark we will go out looking for them with a phlashlight." Said Sirius talking about the thing that Sue had just shown him how to use today.

"Flashlight Sirius and fine." Said Mercedes who was talking calmer but still seemed a bit peeved.

--------------------------------------

Lily woke up to feel something soft and warm beside her. As she was opening her eyes she heard James say, ""Hey Beautiful."

"Hey James" was her reply. "OH MY GOSH! IT'S ALMOST DARK JAMES WE HAVE TO GET BACK! ANNIE AND MERCEDES WILL BE SO WORRIED."

As they were pushing the boat out Lily asked James rather quietly, "James can we not tell our friends about us yet. I don't think that I am ready."

"Sure Lils. Whenever you feel is right." Lily smiled at the nickname and loved even though people had called her that before and she had hexed them.

--------------------------------------

When Lily and James got back to shore after finally finding away back to the dock they were surprised to see four teenagers walking towards the canoes with two flashlights.

"I wonder where they are?"

"Do you think something happened?"

"What could've happened?"

"Are fish dangerous?"

"Hey guys." Said Lily and James as the quickly let go of the others hand due to Lily not being ready.

"Oh my gosh! Where were you two? We were so worried!" said Mercedes.

"Did fish attack you?" questioned Sirius with a surprisingly serious look on his face.

"No!" and with that Lily and James told them about how they got lost of course leaving about the kissing parts and just said that the accidentally fell asleep.

"That's all that happened?"

"That's all." Said Lily with a look at James. "That's all"
