Summary: Lily Evans is different. Unlike most girls, she's not a ditz. Unlike most girls she dosent worship the ground the Marauders walk on. Unlike most girls, she's friends with the Marauders. Unlike most girls, she has to watch and suffer the results of Voldemort's actions. However serius this may seem, its really funny. A little bit of Romance...a lot of comedy, a lot of action. Just READ! Rated PG-13 for swearing and...subjects and violence

Lily Evans and Arabella Jhonstone were best friends, the closest any two people could be. They were alike yet different. They understood eachother without having to talk. They were closer than sisters, and closer than blood could ever take them.

Ara was sitting with Lily on her bed in deep and hushed conversations. Ara was wearing baggy jeans with a blue Weird Sisters shirt and a bandana in her hair. Lily was wearing green baggy army pants that matched her brilliant emerald eyes, with a white tanktop, her hair in a ponytial. They took no notice of the four other giggly ditzy girlys girls around them. They were all used to this.

"Like oh my God! Did you here the rumour that Molly and Arthur are engaged?" Giggled one of the girls, who was wearing everything pink.

"I totally thought so! But they're in seventh year!!"

"Like-"

"Like oh my God! Look at me I'm a ditz!" Lily interupted, jumping on her bed, batting her eyelashes and giggling madly.

"I praise you oh popular one! I am your follower!" Ara giggled, bowing down to Lily.

When things got boring to them in the dorm, Lily and Ara would always start imatating the girls in their dorm. They sadly had to share the room with the popular ditzy girls that worshiped the ground James and Sirius walked on and their stupid rumours. Their names were Katie, Jenna, Jasmine, and Mary.

"You guys are like so weird." Katie said, as she was the leader of the group.

"Like thanks!" Ara said.

"Come on Ara, lets go wake up Sirius and see if he'll play Exploding Snap with us." Lily said with a sigh heading out the door.

"You guys are like friends with the Marauders?" Mary asked, trying to hide her awe.

"Well yeah...we've been friends since the beggining of first year." Lily responded in her sarcastic 'Isn't Everybody?' voice.

"I told you they were slow." Ara whispered but loud enough for the Dizzy Ditzs (as Lily and Ara called them) to hear.

Katie rolled her eyes and continued to talk.

Lily and Ara went inside the boys' dorms which was increadibly messy. Quiditch posters were hung around the blue walls. It also stunk really bad. It was one of the only places they could get away from the crazy giggling.

Noticing the guys were aseep, Lily the human alarm clock yelled, "WAKE UP SLEEPY HEADS!"

Remus got up imediatly, knowing that Lily's and Ara's wrath was far worse than losing a couple hours of sleep. You see he was the smarter one.

"Hey Lils, Ara." Remus said yawning.

"Hi!" They both said.

"SIRIUS WAKE UP!" Ara yelled as she started to jump on his bed.

He reluctantly got up and pushed Ara off. "Why are you waking us up so early?"

"Early? ITS THE BLOODY AFTERNOON!" Lily screamed.

"Good morning to you, too Miss. Grinch!" Sirius said. (A/N: He didn't even know who the Grinch was...)

Peter finallly woke up after all the racket, which only left James.

"I dont want to do this, wait yes i do, but he leaves me no choice." Lily said motioning towards James.

Ara laughed wickedly and magicaly (A/N: *gasp* MAGIC!) produced two buckets full of water. Lily and Ara both grabbed one and poured it on James' head, while faking a, "MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"WHAT THE HELL?" A soaking James shouted as the freezing cold water poured over him.

He looked at his Marauder 'friends' who where rolling on the floor laughing, and then to Ara and Lily and asked, "What the heck are you doing here and why did you do that?"

"Good morning! Its about time you woke up!" Lily said brightly as if nothing happened.

"You- I'm going to get you two." He said getting up, forgetting he only had boxer shorts on.

"Right get dressed now and meet us downstairs bye!" Ara said quickly as she and Lily ran away and into the common room, bursting with laughter.

They say down on the fluffy red and gold couches still laughing at what had just happened.

"We should do that more often Lily."

"I agree Ara. Tomorrow then?"

"Tomorrow."

The gave eachother a high five secret hand shake thingy that always meant they were up to something. After moments of slience, Lily all of a sudden randomly decided she wanted to jump on the couch.

"Join me."

(A/N: I know the song is out of time but really, come on! Pretend! BRAIN POWER!)

"THIS IS THE STORY OF A GIRL! WHO CRIED A RIVER AND DROWND THE WHOLE WORLD!" Ara sang, or screamed, or whatever. Lily joined her friend, who shared a passion for this kind of muggle music.

"AND WHILE SHE LOOKS SO SAD IN PHOTOGRAPHS, I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE HER, WHEN SHE SMILES!"

"God, you two are lesbien?" James interupted as they came down, obviously trying to get back at them from this morning.

"POTTER!" Lily warned and jumped off the couch, landing on his back. She started slapping him, and kicking him, not too hard, but enough to put on a "fight"...and a show.

"Ouch gees you kick hard for a girl. Guys can do it better you know- OWW!" James cried as Lily struck him accross the cheek, hard.

"What was that for?" James asked rubbing his red cheek.

"You are so sexsist Potter!" Lily cried.

"Am not!"

The crowd rolled their eyes. SURE he wasn't.........

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Are-"

"ENOUGH!" Remus interupted, breaking them apart. He was the peacemaker in these Lily-James quarrels. "Can't you two ever stop fighting, just for a DAY?"

"Oh fine. Come on, does anybody wanna play exploding snap?" Lily asked. Everybody nodded except James, who was staring at Lily revengfully.

"Oh come on James, dont be such a sore looser!" Ara said patting him on the back. Lily and James were the only ones that werent that close, and that still called eachother by their last names.

"I'mnotbeingasorelooser." James mummbled.

"Ha ha! I win AGAIN! Buya!" Remus said standing up doing a little 'Go Me' dance.

"Sorry guys, I have a date with Katie." James said as he stood up.

"KATIE?" Ara and Lily asked together.

"Really Potter, I thought you had better taste." Lily said, rolling her eyes.

"She's such an idiot." Ara added.

"Yeah well she's hot!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Is that how all her brains melted?" Ara whispered so that only Lily and Remus could hear.

"Well cya guys." James said, walking up to knock on the dorm door.

After James left Ara said to her friends, "Why does he always go out with girls he thinks are stupid?"

"How do you know he thinks she's stupid?" Peter squeaked.

Lily and Ara shared a quick and uneasy glance.

"Um...who would like Katie?" Lily said quickly.

Sirius stared at the girls for a moment before saying, "In case you havent noticed a bunch of guys drop at her feet."

"Well yeah but that dosent mean they actually LIKE her. I mean her head is full of air and lint and dust."

That moment Katie and James came walking down holding hands. Katie was being her normal self and giggling madly at anything James said. He obviously didnt mind. While James was looking for something in his pocket, Katie stole a glance at Lily and Ara, with a smirk that said 'Haha, look who I've got'.

Ara and Lily batted their eyelashes wildly and gave her a huge fake grin, replaying part of their earlier imitation. Then they gave her a smirk that said, 'Do I give a damn?'.
