I wanted to have this posted sooner but I'm having some problems ""is standing on desk beating writers block off with a stick"" um don't worry I have this totally under control ""writers block eats stick and gobbles her up"" like I said TOTALLY under control. I'll try to make this chapter as good as I can I have a few ideas that I got from people but I can't use them until later. Any way on with the story because I'm sure you are all sick of hearing me talk.

Chapter 4-Revenge or Something Like It
That night everyone decided to sleep in the living room together. They had put their sleeping bags in a circle and were talking. The order was Lily, Suffie, Remus, Sirius, and then James and since they were in a circle that put James next to Lily also. Suffie and Lily were talking about what they had done over vacation so far and James, Sirius, and Remus were discussing how they needed to think up more pranks they were going to pull of the Slytherins because they didn't nearly have enough thought up.
"We haven't even thought up a good enough one to do to them on the first day we get back!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Don't worry we'll think of something we always do," James said.
"Okay, this is getting boring," Lily said.
"You guys thinking what I am," Remus said to James and Sirius.
"What? A little game of truth or dare marauder style?" James asked
"Dare I ask what the difference between normal truth or dare and truth or dare marauder style is?" Suffie asked while rolling her eyes at them. James jumped up and went into the kitchen everyone followed. He went through the cupboards until he found a huge bowl and he set it on the counter, then he opened the fridge.
"Okay, now what genius?" Lily asked.
"Put anything in the bowl and make it the grossest mixture you possible can, you can start Lily," James said smirking. Lily step up to the fringe.
"Um ok, sure," She took out a can, opened it and dumped it in the bowl. "Tuna, does that work?"
"Sure does," James said still smirking. The others looked at each other as if saying who's next.
"Lady's first," Remus said gesturing to Suffie.
"Then shouldn't Black go?" Suffie said jokingly.
"Ha ha ha, my sides, don't make me laugh so hard Suf," Sirius said sarcastically. Suffie laughed and stepped forward.
"How about...chocolate syrup!" She said and squeezed some into the bowl on top the tuna. Remus went next.
"Coca cola!" he said grinning and put a little in the bowl. Sirius went after. He put in ketchup and then James who put in vanilla ice-cream. They continued going around putting stuff in until the bowl was almost half way full. It was now mixture that you would never even think about eating. James stirred it up with a long spoon.
"Oh my, that is horribly gross," Suffie said with her hand over her mouth. Everyone agreed.
"What is the point of this Potter?" Lily asked
"We are going to play truth or dare. Anyone who doesn't take the truth or dare has to eat a spoonful of this!" He said smirking as he held the spoon up high and let some of the mixture drip into the bowl. The boys were smiling and the girls looked grossed out. They all went back in the living room and sat on there sleeping bags the put the nasty mixture it the middle of the circle that sat in.
"Okay, there are only three rules. One, you can give them a choice like for a dare you can be like 'you can either do this or you can do this' and the person gets to choose. Two, nothing to perverted people lets keep this PG-13, and three you don't do the dare or truth and you must eat the mixture. Any one not willing to eat that stuff but knows they might not take the dare or truth than just sit out and don't play," James said looking around "Ok who wants to start?" The game had begun with Sirius. They had been playing for at least and hour and no one had not taken a dare or truth because they didn't want to eat the mixture. It was now James turn.
"Remus, truth or dare?" James asked him. Remus thought for a moment.
"Dare," He said confidently.
"I dare you to...either kiss Suffie or Sirius!" James said as everyone broke out into laughter. Sirius batted his eyelashes at Remus.
"Oh Remy pick me!" he said in a girly voice.
"Um that scares me, stop that!" Remus said to Sirius. He turned and quickly kissed Suffie on the lips. Suffie sat there for a moment and then started blushing.(AN if you have read my other story, which you should, called Adjusting, you'd know Suffie is also in it and I'm going to make Remus and Suffie have a crush on each other, It has nothing to do with this story at all I just like the character I made up with Remus lol) Remus blushed too and the quickly asked Lily truth or dare.
"Truth," Lily said.
"How come you act and dress so differently at school than you are now," He asked.
"I..I..I don't know, I just do. I have only one friend and why should I bother looking nice at school, I don't want to be like one of those stuck up snobs." She said.
"Brushing you hair and wearing nice clothing doesn't exactly make you a snob, and you have only one friend because you don't seem to bother to make any friends," Remus said. Lily ignored him. "Potter truth or dare," she said.
"Dare," he said. Lily looked around her eyes landing on the mixture.
"Eat a spoonful," She said.
"Wh..what? what are you talking about?" He said.
"Eat a spoonful of the mixture we just made," She said.
"Aw come on that's got to be against the rules or something that cant count," He argued.
"No, its not against the rules remember there are only the three YOU made up," She stated. He gulped, even if he didn't take the dare he'd still have to eat that slop.
"Fine! Damn this is horrible." He mumbled. He went up to the bowl and lifted a small spoonful out. Everyone was looking at him. He pinched his nose and shoved the spoon in his mouth, swallowed, threw the spoon back into the bowl, and then got up and ran to the bathroom. Slight barfing noises were then heard. Everyone made a grossed out face. After a while he came back out. He looked slightly pale.
"Never ever again will I eat that stuff, Sirius truth or dare," He said his voice sounding kind of shaky.
"Dare,"
"I dare you to stick your hand in that slop and keep it in there for a minute," He said. Sirius got up and did it. Then went in the kitchen and washed his hand off. He then came back and sat down.
"The only thing scary about that dare was that I thought something in there was going to bite my hand off," Sirius said laughing. "Lily truth or dare,"
"Dare," she said slightly unsure.
"Its getting kind of late so lets make this the last dare. Now to avenge my friend, this will be a horrible dare for you because he had to eat that nasty stuff," He said with an evil cackle. Everyone started staring at him "Um yea just kidding, at least sort of...Lily I dare you to sleep the rest of the night in James sleeping bag with him!"
"What!" everyone yelled out at once.
"Nothing perverted you just have to share a sleeping bag," Sirius explained.
"Bud, that is not avenging me!" James yelled.
"Yeah well I had to put my hand in that stuff so there," Sirius said and then laughed quickly "So, Lil what will it be," Lily remember what was in that bowl.
"I'm not eating that, Potter move over" She said. James glared at her. She got in the same sleeping bag as him. "This is so embarrassing..."
"You better not tell anyone at school about this," He said.
"Like I'd want to," She said and then fell asleep like everyone else had.
In the mourning
The sun was shining through the curtains as Lily yawned and turned around in her sleep. She bumped into something, not realizing it, she also didn't realize the pair of arms that were now wrapped around her waist. She moved closer to an unrecognized source of warmth. James also stirred in his sleep not remembering what happened last night or opening his eyes. He felt something in his arms and not realizing it tightened his grip a bit. Then all of a sudden both realized what was going on. There eyes quickly opened. Lily saw James and felt his arms around her and she let out a scream. When she did James also screamed.
"Potter let go of me!" Lily yelled. James realized his arms were around her waist and let go. They both tried to bolt out of the sleeping bag at the same time only make them tangled and falling over. Remus, Sirius, and Suffie were already awake and dressed and were now rolling on the floor laughing.
"Suffie, how come you didn't wake me up?" Lily asked.
"I'm sorry Lils you two just looked so cute and we needed to take the photos!" She explained.
"Photos?" Lily and James both yelled.
"Umm, I vote we all go eat breakfast now," Remus said. Suffie pulled Lily into the kitchen with her.
'I was just holding her! It felt great to have my arms wrapped around her, I wish she could be mine. What the hell am I thinking! I think I've gone off the deep end...' James thought. He shook his head and then went into the kitchen with Sirius and Remus.

Ok that's all for this chapter. I admit I didn't like it that much, especially because so many people do truth or dare in their writing I felt kind of unoriginal and tacky but I guess it turned out ok. The next chapters will turn out better I hope. Ideas are still helpful and please please review. The more reviews I get the fast I'll update, less reviews and I won't continue until I get more. So go review please!
