James held the apple firmly in his hand and debated whether or not to be mean and throw on Sirius' head. As Sirius let out a loud sigh, James made his decision. He wouldn't throw it. He would let it not so gently fall on Sirius head.

"Wake up, mate!" he shouted, from the top of the tree,

"What are you doing man, I was awake!" Sirius shouted back, massaging the area where the apple had hit him.

"No, you weren't. Your eyes were open but you were far off in dreamland."

"You're a pain. What are you doing up there, anyway?"

"I don't know. I got bored looking at that face of yours and came up here to see if there was something interesting. Guess what? There's not."

James jumped down from the tree and took his place beside Sirius, who had his back against the trunk.

"Now what?" Sirius asked.

"Now we can either find something to do in this park or you can go back to daydreaming about Remus."

"I was not daydreaming about Remus," Sirius complained. James shot him a look. "I was daydreaming about Remus."

"See? It wasn't so difficult to admit it." James rolled his eyes.

Sirius had opened his mouth to counterargue, but James raised his hand to stop him before he could. A group of at least ten people with dogs walked by them, headed to the same place.

"Do you want to see where they're going?" James suggested.

"I thought you would never ask," said Sirius already getting up and patting the grass off of his jeans.

As they followed the group of people, James and Sirius tried to come up with theories of where those people were going to, but as soon as they got there, they realized that it was better than they expected.

"A dog competition? Right here in the park."

"Did you see the prize for winning?" James asked, pointing to the signup table.

"So, all we have to do is sign up and we're good?"

"Looks like it. How is Padfoot feeling? Up for beating all these spoiled bitches?" James wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Oh, for sure. Let's do this." Sirius laughed.

Later that day, when they arrived back home, Sirius and James were carrying a small trophy and first prize ribbon. Mr. and Mrs. Potter thought it would be better not to ask any questions.
