Memories of the Marauders

Look Out Below! (Part 2)

What is going on?~Marlene

Oh just a...um...balloon war~James

And what is in the balloons, may I ask?~Lily

Well, we saw something in the Muggle world where you can make this colorful, liquidy, gooey stuff by mixing a bunch of stuff together...~Remus

Like water and this starchy stuff...~Sirius

And so we put that gooey stuff into the water balloons.~Peter

And that's why is so loud out here?~Mary

Because the four of you are throwing balloons filled with goop.~Alice

Well we have a lot of people involved.~James

Had. We had a lot of people involved. They all quit saying they had stuff to do.~Sirius

I think they were all just going to shower.~Remus

Yeah it was all starting to dry up on their skin. Bit of a mess.~Sirius

We were just glad you weren't here. It would've been so boring then.~James

And why is that?~Marlene

Because you don't really know how to have fun. At least in the Muggle world.~James

Excuse me. I am a muggle born. Muggle born. So don't tell me I can't have fun in the Muggle world.~Lily

I'm just telling it like it is.~James

You should really wipe that annoying smirk off your face. Or else.~Lily

Oh yeah? Or else what?~James

*splat*

Or else that.~Lily

Come on, you got my glasses all red.~James

Shouldn't have messed with the Muggleborn.~Mary

*splat*

What the hell Sirius!~Marlene

I thought throwing a gooey balloon at you would be pretty funny. Sorry.~Sirius

I don't think you mean that apology~Marlene

*splat*

Hang out with us and you get what you pay for~Alice

*splat splat splat splat*

Ugh! Okay this is so gross.~Mary

I would expect that from James and Sirius. But Remus? Peter?~Lily

Hang out with us and you get what you pay for.~Remus

*splat splat splat splat*

Aww. We just cleaned ourselves up.~Peter

You four wanna go?~Sirius

Go where?~Mary

Gooey Ballon War. Four on Four.~James

Your on.~Lily

Wait, what?~Alice

I don't really...~Mary

Let's do it. You four against us four. Fair game.~Marlene

Fine. You take half the supplies and we get the other half.~Remus

Deal.~Lily

Okay.~Sirius

The war begins now.~James
