I apologize for this taking so long, and yes; I am going to make excuses. But I do know that I should have tried harder to get this up, and in fact I just wrote this chapter five minutes ago after a review from Smiley0531--thanks for kicking me into action, by the way. So nothing much happens in this one, but I would still appreciate ideas for truths and dares from you all considering my previous computer crashed and I no longer have the ones you suggested before. Okay, enjoy!!

Nightfall came quickly, and it caught Remus by surprise. Of course, he hadn't been able to completely forget about the dare he and Sirius had to finish, but his classes combined with some intense studying had at least removed it from the center of his mind. But now that darkness had fallen and James had gone up for an early retirement, Remus had no choice but to force himself to think about the act he was about to commit. Of course, it didn't help when Sirius came bounding into the commonroom with a huge grin on his face, ready to give his friend the ultimate prank.

"Will you stop smiling Sirius?" Remus asked irritably. His conscience was nagging him incessently, and he couldn't figure out why it wasn't bothering Sirius as much as it was him. Surely Sirius had a conscience!! Of course, this was the boy who had shamelessly conned Severus Snape into walking headlong into a werewolf's trap.

After reviewing the facts, Remus decided that Sirius had no active conscience.

"Why would I stop smiling?" Sirius countered, still grinning widely. "I'm about to pull the motherload of all pranks on one of my friends, and the best part is I don't even have to do it!! You do!!"
"I hope you know I hate you," Remus grumbled as he closed his textbook and stood slowly. "Well, I suppose we should get this over with." Remus began the long walk to the stairs, dragging his feet every step of the way. Sirius, on the other hand, bounded up the stairs two at a time, and by the time Remus reached their dorm Sirius had already dragged out the flasks of potion Remus had bottled earlier.

"Okay, let's do this thing," Sirius whispered, nodding towards James.

"Wait. First we have to..." Remus trailed off as he rummaged around in his bag before pulling out another small flask, this one filled with a baby blue liquid. He tiptoed over to James' bed and poured it quickly into his open mouth before finally heaving a large sigh of relief and turning back to Sirius. "We're good now."

"What do you mean, we're good now?" Sirius asked with a puzzled expression. Remus just rolled his eyes.

"Don't you ever think of anything? To apply the potion to James, we have to have direct skin contact. I think that just might have woken him up, don't you? Luckily that sleeping potion I just gave him will take care of that problem, so we don't have to worry about anything except for someone coming in. You took care of that, right?"

"Yup," Sirius said proudly. "I set up Wormtail on a 'date' with Evans. She thinks it's just studying, he thinks it's a real date, we get something to laugh about later. It's all good."

Remus rolled his eyes once again. It seemed like this was becoming a bit of a habit for him. "Okay. Just to be safe, though..." Remus flicked his wand towards the door, where the lock immediately snapped shut. "Good. NOW we don't have anything to worry about at all. We can start."

"Okay, how do we do this?" Sirius grinned. He couldn't wait to see the effect the potion had on James once he woke up.

"Lift up his shirt," Remus commanded.

"What?!"

"Just do it."

"Fine, fine, you don't have to get bossy about it," Sirius whined, pulling James' shirt up to his neck.

"Good. Here, let's start." Remus popped open the cork on the flask and pulled the golden hair out of his pocket. "Now we put this in... and done. Now for the application." Remus watched as the potion turned into a soft silver, and he dipped two fingers into it. Reaching his body across James, he placed his dripping fingers onto James' head. "For the mind, that it may always be on Jake." James murmured in his sleep and twitched slightly.

Sirius, who had been watching silently, let out a slight laugh. "This is so great!! I can't wait to talk to him at breakfast tomorrow!!"

Ignoring Sirius, Remus re-dipped his fingers and set them on James' chest. "For the heart, that it may pine for the company of Jake." Once again, James murmured slightly and fidgeted a little, but was quickly quiet again.

Dipping his fingers for the last time, Remus wiped them on each of James' hands. "For the hands, that they may long for the touch of Jake." James murmured one last time, and Remus watched as all four shining silver spots melted away, leaving nothing to indicate that they had seconds earlier been gleaming on James' skin.

Sirius let out a raucous laugh and whistled. "Well, it sure worked alright!!"

Remus turned to him with a confused expression on his face. "What do you mean? How can you tell?"

Nearly rolling with silent laughter, Sirius pointed a single finger towards James, and when Remus turned back he saw the telltale evidence that it had worked; a large, pointed bulge protruding from under James' bedcovers.

"You're right. It worked," Remus said, finally seeing the humor that Sirius was nearly rolling with. "Now let's get all this put away, we don't want anyone to know what we did if that lock were to break or if my sleeping potion would wear off." For once agreeing with Remus, Sirius silently helped him clean up the potion mess and shove it all either under their beds or under the floorboards where Sirius kept the game.

"Now to wait for tomorrow. Let's play."

Even if you aren't going to suggest dares, that's okay, at least please review!!
