Woops, there were a lot of mistakes in this chapter because I was so excited that I actually finished it that I forgot to actually read it over and spellcheck! Sorry! I hope this version is easier to read! I didn't change anything big. All of the mistakes were little ones that were caught by Crookshanks in NC. I'm sort of a perfectionist so I couldn't NOT fix them.

AN: Yah I'm alive, and so is this story. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to write this chapter. So if any of you like me enough to look at my profile you'll see that this story is now going to be my top priority until it's finished. So I have no more excuses now…

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

James Potter leaned against the side of the work shed, watching his younger brother fiddling around with the stupid contraption that had gotten him into all of this trouble.

"You know James," his brother's voice was muffled since he was currently on his back underneath the time machine; "this would be a lot easier if you helped."

James seemed to be appalled at the idea of actually having to work.

"But Al…" he trailed off trying to think of an excuse. "You're sooooo much better at these types of things than me! I would just mess everything up."

Albus Potter rolled his eyes before forgetting that his older brother couldn't see him doing it. This was just like James. He always got out of work. He was about to demand that the older boy help when someone grabbed his ankle and jerked him out from under the time machine. He rolled into said person's ankle since he was on a skateboard and couldn't stop himself.

"What are you two doing? And where is Lily?" Teddy Lupin asked, looking between Albus on the ground and James frozen near the door, prepared to run.

Lily Potter was having a very weird dream.

She had been sent back in time to when her parents where teenagers, and was to spend a week with them.

She was interrupted quite abruptly by something huge and soft hitting her face, pulling her back to reality.

"Good, you're awake now!" her mother's voice greeted her, but it sounded wrong…higher, in a way.

Oh God, it's not a dream. She thought to herself, pulling the pillow off of her face.

"What is up with you and throwing things at me?" she asked, chucking the pillow back at her not-quite-mother.

"Just ignore it." Hermione told her, emerging from the bathroom. "She's just excited."

Ginny poked her tongue out at Hermione before turning to Lily.

"Mum's got breakfast ready; I didn't think that you would want to sleep through it."

"No, I wouldn't, but did you have to attack me? It's not one of the most pleasant ways to wake up."

The three of them laughed for a while before returning to their morning rituals. As Lily yanked a brush through her hair she couldn't help thinking that this was sort of nice. Well, in a weird way.

"What?" Teddy hissed.

The group had moved from the work shed into the kitchen, so that they could explain things in a more comfortable setting.

James gulped before answering his god-brother.

"Well, we're trying to fix it. But in the mean while Lily's perfectly safe at the Burrow…just in a different time." He answered in a small voice.

Teddy dropped his head into his hands. How in the world was he supposed to explain this to Harry and Ginny?

"Wait!" Albus exclaimed, standing up from his chair and putting his hands on the table. "Teddy's over age right? So now we don't even need to worry mum and dad. He can obliviate everyone, and now we can use magic to fix the time machine so she'll be home even faster."

"You're brilliant, you know that?" James told his brother. "Ted, please! I'll do anything." He turned to the older, OVER age, wizard.

Teddy sighed before nodding his head in agreement. The two younger boys high-fived across the table, triumphant smiles plastered on their faces.

Breakfast was wonderful. The only people who had been up were Hermione, Ginny, Mrs. Weasely, and Lily. So it had been quieter than what was usual. The girls were piling up their dishes in the sink when the twins came downstairs.

"Good Morning!" Lily said. She sat down at the table with the two overly cheerful boys. "What are you two smiling about?" she asked.

"We just set up a little 'surprise' for our dear brother." Fred said, winking.

"Oh really?" Lily asked, intrigued. "And what exactly is this surprise?"

"Now, now, now." George said holding up his hand. "We don't know if your trustworthy or not."

"And we can't tell this to someone who isn't trustworthy." Fred added.

"You'll just have to wait like everyone else." George concluded.

"But-" Lily started to protest before both of the twins held up a hand.

"As your Uncles…" Fred said in a voice that reminded Lily of Percy.

"We cannot allow your little mind to be ruined by such things as pranks." George continued in the same voice.

"What type of role models would we be if we let our innocent niece in on this wonderful plan?"

They were torturing her now,

"Horrible ones Freddie, horrible ones."

"Right George and we can't be horrible role models to this innocent young mind!"

They ended their speech, both looking as wise and responsible as possible.

"You've got to be kidding me." Lily muttered.

But the occupants of the Burrow only had to deal with this maddening suspense for a few minutes before a very un-manly scream tore its way through the house.

"Looks like he found our surprise." Fred said very calmly, looking over at George.

"Yes, yes it does."

AN: I know. A long wait for not a lot of chapter. But, for once, I'm actually happy with how it turned out! Hope you guys are too! Don't forget to leave a review!
