"Ahhh! I can't take it anymore! I have to ask her out!" Was the first thing James Potter said, or shouted, after he woke up 8 in the morning. It was two weeks after the "Regulus Incident", and James kept his promise, not asking Lily out no matter how tempting it was, but he was about to crack.

"Don't. Either you wait your two weeks or never have a chance with her." Sirius said. "Even I have more patience than you, Prongs."

"You've never liked someone that much, have you?" James said darkly. "You've had plenty of girlfriends… you wouldn't know."

"I've said that I only go out with a lot of people because I'm really a nice guy in the inside. It's not my fault if girls decide to ask me out…" Sirius said. " And most of those 'girlfriends' that you are talking about have only been to one date with me at their request. Don't take me for a manwhore."

"With your looks, you could start a harem right here in the school, Padfoot." James said. "I thought you were a pervert like me."

"Who said I wasn't? I certainly do like reading erotic novels and looking at pretty girls in those Muggle bikinis." Sirius laughed. "But being a pervert's different from being a manwhore, I assure you."

"This is getting way off topic. And Moony'd yell at us for talking about such a perverted subject." James said, with a smile.

"Moony isn't here. It's his turn to bring us breakfast, remember? I did it last week. Plus, he knows that we have perverted minds." Sirius chuckled. "And you are way more perverted than I am. I bet you are having fantasies about Lily."

"I DO NOT!" James turned bright pink as he grabbed a pillow, jumped off his own bed, and hit Sirius, whose bed was the one closest to his own.

"Oh yes you do. I can tell." Sirius laughed as he was hit by James's pillow. Without any hesitation, he grabbed his own pillow and hit James back as Remus walked in with a paper bag filled with their breakfast.

"I have breakfast, guys…Seriously, WHAT THE HELL?" Remus nearly dropped his paper bag as Peter just woke up, looking confused at the pillow fight between Sirius and James.

"Me again?" Sirius sighed. "What's with you people?"

"Sorry Sirius… no pun intended." Remus said. "Anyways. Hurry up and eat. And don't kill each other."

The Marauders arrived down at rehearsal 15 minutes prior to its start.

"It's two weeks until the actual performance, so today's rehearsal will be 4 hours long instead of 2." Professor McGonagall told them as they walked in.

"4 hours? Are you kidding?" James burst out shouting. "NO WAY!"

"I am sorry, Mr. Potter, but that's how things work. Especially since you are the leading male." Professor McGonagall said stiffly. " And it's 6 hours next weekend, plus 2 hours every other school day until the performance. I will notify your teachers to exempt you from homework."

"Oh. Okay then." James said. "Lack of homework makes everything better."

"Black! You are not supposed to kill Potter! How many times I'm supposed to tell you that?" Professor McGonagall shouted at Regulus, who apparently "killed" James again in swordfighting. It was as Sirius described that Regulus was rather fierce with weapons, but Regulus was doubly more so ever since the "Lily Incident.", at least to James. Furthermore, he's ignoring his best friend, Snape, for the past two weeks. McGonagall, being at the other side of the room, yelling at some other people at the time of the incident, did not know of it.

"I'm sorry, Professor." Regulus said. "I'm trying to hold back."

"Well… let's do that part again." McGonagall said. "Begin."

"Seems like your brother hasn't forgiven Prongs yet, has he?" Remus said in an undertone to Sirius, "he kept on killing him."

"It has to be so, because he's definitely nicer to me." Sirius said. "Hell, that's a first. Regulus and I aren't exactly getting along."

"Ah. There we go again." Remus said. Regulus's fake rapier has just reached James's chest for the fifteenth time as McGonagall went off on him again. "It's not like Prongs hadn't apologized to Regulus, though."

"Regulus's not exactly forgiving, no matter how nice he is to other people." Sirius said. "While he's not the worst of the Slytherins, getting on his bad side, unless you are me, is a bad idea."

"What do you mean… 'unless you are you'?" Remus asked.

"In case you haven't noticed, I always win our fights." Sirius said. "Both dueling and verbally."

"Not very surprising, knowing your vast vocabulary of insults." Remus laughed. "I bet the whole school can take you on and you can still insult them speechless."

"I take this as a compliment." Sirius smiled. "In which case, I thank you, Moony."

"Ah. Looks like Regulus is finally getting the point. Well… I was going to suggest you sub in for James so we can get the scene over with, but I guess not anymore."

"No. That was just practice with that one part since Regulus is still pissed at Prongs." Sirius said. "We're going to start the whole scene over. Hope Regulus gets it this time around."

"Oh yeah! That was the reason I am right now offstage in the first place. In that case, let's get ready." Remus said as Professor McGonagall called to the room in general for people in Act 3, Scene 1.

"REGULUS! NOT AGAIN!" Sirius shouted offstage as Regulus failed to let James "kill" him again. "And James, attack him like I would… this is a play, no time to feel guilty! Apologize later!"

James grinned apologetically to Sirius. "You know what happened two weeks ago."

"Of course I know… but this is rehearsal! So both of you, get yourselves effin' together and do it right!" Sirius yelled as McGonagall looked at him in surprise.

"Black… I never knew you are capable of responsibility!" She exclaimed. "That's a pleasant surprise."

"Thank you, Professor." Sirius smiled in his usual way. "I guess I am just awesome like that."

"Anyways… listen to what Black said and get yourselves together. It's only a little more than two weeks from the actual performance." Professor McGonagall said to the two boys. "Again."

"Yes, Professor." Regulus and James said as they started coming at each other with their fake rapiers.
