A/N: This is my first shot at writing fanfiction ever! I've been reviewing for a while and decided I wanted to write my own story, so please be nice with the reviews, I will take healthy, polite criticism though.
Full Summary: This story begins when Lily's two twin best friends, Annabel and Jessica Brooks spend the summer with her, but little did they know that James lived next door, and he was also inviting his friends over for the summer. The girls are in for a surprise! A story of love, fun, and best friends.
And now the story begins...
"Come on the water's nice and cool," coaxed Sirius as he edged towards the end of the pool.
Annabel backed away; afraid she was going to pull him in. She had slightly curly tan hair that fell just below her shoulders. She had sparkly blue eyes and a pale look to her.
She was wearing a coral pink lacy bikini and had a fuzzy towel draped around her waist.
Jessica had a rainbow beach ball in her hands. She was on the other side of the pool and chucked it at Sirius's head. Jessica was very daring and outgoing, she and her twin had nothing in common except their looks. Jessica and Annabel had the same hair and skinny figure, but Jessica had greenish eyes and wasn't as pale. She was wearing a lime green halter-top swimsuit with boy cut shorts.
Sirius whipped around when the ball hit his head and hopped out of the pool.
"You're gonna pay for that one Brooks!"
Jessica's eyes narrowed and a 'come get and get me' look appeared her face. She stood near the pool and waited until Sirius was right before her, she stuck out her foot and tripped him. He fell right into the pool, just as she planned, but unfortunately for her, he grabbed her arm and she went down with him.
Everyone started to laugh as the two started a splashing war.
"All right you two, stop your flirting and come get some pizza," said James as he came in with a couple of boxes in his arms.
Annabel could tell he was having trouble carrying them so naturally, she performed an act of kindness and she rushed over to help him.
"Where's Lily?"
And as if it was her cue, Lily came running up to James with six cans of soda pop in her arms. She set them down quickly, picked up one, and shook it.
"Hello James," said Lily tapping him on the shoulder with her index finger and grinning dreamily.
He turned around and smiled his cocky smile.
"So how about that kiss Evans?"
Lily laughed lightly as she watched every one of her friends staring at her waiting for her usual response, that is insulting him in every possible way.
"Of course Jamsie, now close you eyes..."
She took the can that she had shook up earlier and opened it up in his face as soon as he had closed his eyes.
His eyes shot open, and mouth dropped in defeated when the orange soda sprayed all over the top half of his body.
She shoved the half-empty soda can into his arms and skipped off to the pizza boxes.
"Ooo, I'm good"
Annabel giggled and gave her friend a high five.
Lily was wearing a black strapless one-piece swimsuit.
The friends would be entering their last year at Hogwarts next year, and planned to make their last summer together an unforgettable one.
"So, Lily and Annabel aren't wet yet..." Said Remus innocently as he exchanged an evil glance at Sirius.
"Uh-oh," said Annabel as she got up from her seat and Lily followed suit.
Remus and Sirius also had abandoned their seats and were now chasing the girls around the pool. James finally decided to join in after he had gotten over his fit of laughter.
It was a rather hilarious sight to see four sixteen going on seventeen year olds running around a swimming pool like young toddlers.
James came up behind Lily and pushed her in.
"Ooo, I'm good!" Mimicked James. He put on a proud smirk. Lily just watched from inside the pool, she was utterly disgusted, and wondered silently how she missed seeing James coming behind her.
Meanwhile, Sirius and Remus had ganged up on Annabel and were dragging her to he side of the pool.
"Oh, don't bother guys, she is totally afraid of water and as stubborn as a cow!" said Jessica as she finished her last slice of pizza.
"Excuse me! I can eat you ya know!" Said Annabel bringing herself to full height and placing her hands on her hips.
The boys took this chance to push her overboard.
She screamed and when she bobbed to the surface the boys watched in delight.
"C-c-c-coldddd," she shivered.
"What do you mean by eat her?" Asked Remus curiously. He reached out a hand to help Annabel out of the water; he had had his fun and was ready to become his usual polite, charming self again.
"Yeah Annabella," Piped in Lily.
Even though Lily knew exactly what her friend was talking about, she always liked to joke with her friend about it.
"One: don't ever call me Annabella again, and Two: you should know why," Replied Annabel giving her friend Lily a look that said 'you spill it and I won't ever trust you again'.
"Of course I know, you trust meeeee," Lily dragged out the last word and looked at the boys, practically begging them to ask.
"Who's up for a game of truth or dar-" but Jessica was cut off by the calling of Lily's mother,
"Time to come inside dears, it's getting dark."
"Why don't we just come by later, " said Sirius with a wink.
"Yeah."
"Sure."
"Whatever."
Were the three girls replies as they rushed to pick up their towels.
"See ya then boys," said Jessica, and she blew them a kiss.
Sirius raised his hand and pretended to catch the kiss and place it on his cheek.
This made the girls laugh as they ran home with light hearts. They had something to look forward too, even though they were just friends with the marauders, it was beginning to become a bit more inside the back of the girl's heads. Maybe, just maybe they were beginning to develop a crush on the marauders.
A/N: Please, please, please, please review! I am planning a couple chapters out of this story but would like to know if you want me to continue, if I don't think I have enough reviewers, I'll probably stop writing this story. I only wanna write to make the people who read this happy (aren't I such a kiss up!)
