A/N: Alright, everyone needs to give my wonderful, amazing, beautiful mother a SUPER BIG HUG! Why? Because she found the box that contained the binder that contained the second chapter to this story. I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations. Also, Curt McRae and Troy Billings are from this totally awesome book called "Fat Kid Rules the World," and Travis is inspired by Travis Barker of blink182. It's mostly dialogue though. Not many descriptions.

The Surprise

"Hey, you're here early," James said.

"Yeah, well I wanted to get a head start on those chords," Sirius replied.

"Ok, well your surprise will be here in a little bit," said James, grinning.

"Come on, tell me what it is," Sirius pleaded. All night he had been calling James at odd hours asking what the surprise was.

"No, be patient!" James told him for what had to be at least the hundredth time.

"Please?"

"No!"

"Pretty please?"

"No, goddammit!"

And so it continued until the door to the club opened and two men walked in.

"And here's your surprise," said James, gesturing towards them. "Hey mates! How've you been?"

"Pretty good, busy, we had a show last night," said the one with the long, blonde hair and tatty clothes.

"Yeah, one of our best. There were tons of people there, all screaming," said the fat one with brown hair in a buzz cut.

"Oh, that's awesome! Sorry I couldn't make it," James said. It seemed like they had all forgotten about Sirius so he decided to remind them.

"Ah hem," Sirius said, cutting into their conversation. James looked at him.

"Oh, yeah! The reason you're here!" he said. "This, gentlemen, is Sirius Black. He needs some help with his guitar."

"Really?" said the fat one. "Which guitar?"

"Electric," Sirius answered quietly.

"Oh, well then, you can leave mate," said the tatty guy turning to the brunette.

"No, no, no," interrupted James. "I've got some stuff I want to talk to him about."

"Lily," coughed the blonde. James just glared at him.

"She's fine mate. Beautiful as ever," assured the fat one.

"Ok."

"Oh, by the way," said the fat one, "I'm Troy Billings."

"Yeah, and I'm Curt McCrae," said the one with the dirty clothes.

"Nice to meet you," Sirius said, shaking their hands.

"Well, I'm gonna bounce," said Troy. "See you later James, nice meetin' you Sirius."

"Bye," the three men said.

"Oh my God, I can't believe I forgot! We have another show tonight. You guys should come check it out," Travis said.

"Sure. Think Rem, Lils, and Trav will want to meet him?" asked James, jerking his head toward Sirius.

"Lily and Travis yeah, Rem…probably not. He doesn't like meeting new people," Curt replied.

"No he doesn't," James agreed.

"Well," said Curt, turning to Sirius, "let's get started.

"Hey, Trav," Remus said, "where's Curt and Troy?"

"Said something about doing a favor for James," replied Travis.

"Oh," he replied dejectedly.

"Did someone say James?" asked Lily, perking up at her crush's name.

"Yes, Lily, we said James," teased Remus.

Troy chose that moment to walk in, talking on his cell phone.

"Yes, Lily's hair is still red. Of course her eyes are still green. Yes, she's drop-dead gorgeous—" he was cut off by a loud screaming coming from the phone—

"Are you hitting on my WOMAN?" James' voice screeched from the phone. "How dare you! I thought you were my FRIEND!"

Remus and Travis were practically rolling on the ground they were laughing so hard. Lily flushed the color of her hair.

"God James! I'm not hitting on her! I'm just agreeing with you!" Troy yelled, winking at Remus and Travis. Then he turned it to speaker phone.

"Oh," they heard James say quietly. "Ok."

Then Lily snatched the phone from Troy.

"Hi, James," she said breathlessly.

"Hi, Lily," he replied, sounding like a giddy school girl. They could faintly hear a guitar and cursing in the background.

"What are you doing?"

"Watching Curt give my friend Sirius guitar lessons."

"Oh. Is he any good?"

"Who, Sirius? Yeah he's pretty good."

"Oh, cool."

"Would you two just get together and shag so the rest of us can have some peace?" Remus interjected.

"Am I on speaker phone?" asked James.

"Yeah," Lily replied meekly.

"Oh, well, hi Rem."

"Hello Jamie," he replied.

"What's up James!" Travis yelled.

"What's up Travis!" he yelled back.

"Are you talking to Travis?" they heard someone in the background ask.

"Yeah, what's it to you Curt?" teased James.

"Hey, put your's on speaker phone!" Remus yelled from across the room where he was getting a Red Bull from the fridge.

"Fine," James said. There was a beep and then James said, "Alright, it's on."

"Hey Curt! How're the lessons goin'?" Troy asked.

"They're going pretty good," Curt replied. "He's actually better than you are."

"Oh, that's low Curt, that's low," Troy said, smiling.

"Damn, that'd be a hot couple," they heard James mutter in the background.

"Who would, Jamie?" asked Travis.

"Rem and Sear," he replied.

"Whoa, I tell you I'm gay and you're trying to hook me up with random guys I don't even know?" demanded Remus.

"Dude, I know!" they heard a third guy yell. Remus couldn't help but admire his voice. It was like warm chocolate rolling over his skin.

"See, here's a picture of him," said James. Then a-

"Oh damn, he's hot."

"Hey!" Remus yelled.

"It was a compliment!" Sirius assured him. He rolled his eyes.

"Whatever."

"Hey! I said it was a compliment!" Sirius said, agitated by Remus' attitude. "Take a fucking chill pill."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" he yelled. "God, this is stupid. I'm leaving." He picked up his messenger bag and stalked out, slamming the door after him.

"Hey Lily," asked Travis, "is Remus still hung over?

"Yeah," she replied.

"Oh, well, sorry 'bout that Sirius, mate," apologized James. "He's usually not that bad."

"It's alright, I understand," Sirius replied. "You obviously haven't met my cousins Bellatrix and Narcissa when they're PMSing."

"Oh god, if they're worse than him when he's cranky they must be horrible," said Troy.

"Yeah, never introduce us to them please," pleaded Curt.

"Sure," Sirius laughed.

"I'm sure he'll have calmed down by tonight," soothed Lily.

"Yeah, he just needs to ride his baby for awhile," Troy added. Sirius must have made a weird face because James added-

"His motorcycle, mate. Get your mind out of the gutter." They heard a sigh of relief.

"I actually think he likes you," said Lily.

"Really?"

"Yeah. You should've seen his face when you first spoke."

"Yeah?"

"Hell yeah," Travis added. "I saw it too. His eyes lit up and he got this weird smile on his face. You just watch, he'll be talking about you for the rest of the day."

A/N: Ok, I finally got it up. I can't believe my dad would put it in a box. Siriusly. Well, in case you haven't figured it out, review. It's my life, I wait for reviews like little kids wait for Santa Claus.
