modrocker423: Hey everybody! Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted anything, and all I can say to that is that I'm very very sorry! School's over now and summer has started, so I should have more time to write and update. Just a forewarning, this chapter is a little short. But don't get your pitchforks and torches ready to run me out of town just yet, because the next chapter is about twice as long. I promise you that. So, without further ado, here's the next chapter.

Enjoy!

Chapter Seven: Aloha

Lily awoke from her peaceful sleep quite suddenly when she heard a loud "ding!" that seemed to reverberate throughout the entire plane. She opened her sleep-filled eyes slowly and looked around blearily, trying to find the source of the noise. Lily heard the noise again and faintly realized that it was the noise the captain made when turning on the seatbelt sign. She looked up and saw the seatbelt sign brightly illuminated, indicating that they were about to land.

As the sleep drained away from Lily and her senses came back to her, she realized that she was snuggled up next to a sleeping James, whose head was resting on hers. Lily felt really relaxed in James' warm embrace, his soft breathing and sweet smell of spice washing over her nearly putting her back to sleep again.

Lily fought back her drowsiness and instead shifted herself slightly so that her head was resting in the crook of James' neck. She put her lips up close to his ear and whispered, "James, it's time to get up." She held back a smile when she heard James moan and shift in his sleep.

"Nuh uh," James mumbled sleepily and buried his face in Lily's hair.

"Wakey wakey," Lily said in a mock cooing voice. She then opened the shade that was pulled down over the window next to her, letting in a bright stream of light. James groaned slightly when the light shone on whatever part of his face he hadn't managed to hide in Lily's hair. He solved this by burrowing his face even deeper into her hair, if it was even possible.

Lily frowned slightly, figuring that this was going to be harder than she had thought it was going to be. Suddenly an idea came to her. Lily scooted even closer to James and nibbled his ear affectionately before saying, "If you don't get up, how can I give you a good morning kiss?" She stifled a giggle when James' head shot directly up.

"I'm up," James announced. He looked expectantly at Lily and said, "Now where's my good morning kiss?"

Lily smiled and kissed James tenderly on the lips before replying, "There it is." She had to bite back another giggle when she saw the dumbfound look on James' face.

"That wasn't a kiss!" James complained. He pulled her closer to him and continued, "Now I'll show you what a kiss is." Before James could kiss her, Lily pulled away from him. James stared confusedly at her until she cleared her throat and nodded to something behind his back. James swivelled around in his seat and saw the flight attendant who had told them off at the beginning of the flight glaring down over her large nose at them. James put on an innocent face and flashed her his signature smile, causing her to sniff angrily before she stomped off up the plane.

When the flight attendant was out of ear shot, James turned to Lily and said quite seriously, "I think that lady's got it in for me."

"Well, you did kinda bring that on to yourself," Lily replied in a rather accusatory way.

"I resent that," James retorted. "I think she's had it in for me the moment I stepped onto this plane. I could tell by the evil glare she was giving me." Lily snorted in disbelief.

"Right, if you say so," Lily said, trying hard not to burst out laughing.

"I do say so," James responded, sticking his chin up stubbornly and crossing his arms over his chest and making him look like a three year old again. Before Lily could say anything back, the captain announced that they were approaching their final descent and would be landing shortly. Lily squealed slightly in her seat.

"I'm so excited!" she announced, bouncing in her seat from enthusiasm. James grinned at the sight before he placed his hands on her shoulders to prevent her from jumping anymore.

"Steady now. You don't want to waste all of your excitement before tonight, do you?" he asked.

"Why, what's tonight?" Lily questioned, unsure of what James was talking about. She had stopped bouncing and the excitement that had been rushing through her a short while ago had lessened. James gasped melodramatically, a mock expression of hurt spread across his face.

"We have to finish off where we left in the limo, remember?" James said, flashing Lily a grin.

"Really?" Lily replied slowly. She raised one of her eyebrows and continued, "And what if I don't wish to finish where we left off?"

"Hmm, I don't think you have a choice," James answered in mock seriousness.

"Oh? And why's that?" Lily asked, playing along.

"Because by the time I work some of my Potter charm on you, you'll be dying to finish where we left off...and perhaps even want more," James replied, grinning cheekily. Lily, who couldn't help but smile, swatted his arm playfully.

The two continued to talk and joke until the plane started to dip lower to the ground. Lily let out another muffled squeal of excitement as she turned in her seat to look out the window. James wrapped his arms around her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder so that he could also watch their descent. They watched as a city grew larger before their eyes, the lush greenness of the entire island surrounding it. Suddenly the airport and runway came into sight, becoming larger and larger by the second. The plane sank lower to the ground and, with a small jolt, made contact with the runway. Lily smiled to herself. They finally made it to Hawaii.

modrocker423: So there it is. Hopefully it was ok. I forgot to add this above, but I just wanted to say thank you for all of the reviews and support from those reading this story (even you silent readers). As always, it means a lot to me.
