Edited: changed where Xylia is from-she's now from Finland (even though Xylia is a Greek name...her father is Greek and her mother is Finnish).
This story has been REVAMPED.
Don't ask. It hasn't even be posted, and already it's been rewritten. I just got the best idea after I watched Sleepover (I like that film! I rented it on Friday 3rd! XD). How about rather than the boys fancy the girls, in traditional fics, the girls fancy the boys, and the boys have no idea that the girls exist? It would be very true to reality.
And very humorous. I'm now doing humour. Or, rather, my sense of humour, which, I have been told, is rather skewed. Oh well.
But yes, the two teams of girls are fighting for attention from the boys…it's a fluffy predictable fic, and I really hope you enjoy the happenings in it!
Oh yeah, and Peter is thoroughly nice in this one. Fit, smart, and brave-plus blond. Every girl's dream (not mine, though! I prefer black haired, hazel-eyed/green-eyed guys…-cough- actually, I don't mean Harry, but James is there…XD). No meanness here…
Summary: Darlene's group fell in love with the Marauders the first time they saw them. Lily's group had also fallen hard. In a battle of wits, they arrange a competition…the freedom to ask out the Marauder of their choice if they win, with no loopholes and no opposition. It's a girl-on-girl fight, and the boys are completely oblivious. LJ (MP, KS & XR, too…)
Disclaimer: Okay, let's see. I'm not making any money, I'm not opposing the copyright infringement laws or anything, I'm not claiming any of these characters to be mine…actually, I am: Darlene, Regina, Scarlett, Honey, Xylia, Kairi and Meiying are mine, so far. The plot belongs to me, with a little bit of thanks to the writers of Sleepover for inspiring me. This is not completely like the film, but it gave me an idea…

Dedicated to: Dixie/Dee (Dip Yu, my e-pal) for inspiring the Chinese character of this fic, Mei. Thanks, girl! XD
I hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 1, Creation of a Competition
Hey sweeties, meet us at the Entrance Hall at 8. We wanna run something by ya. Darlene xxx
Lily grimaced at the message. Darlene always went too far. Oh well. She was a bitch anyway; it was to be expected.
"Girls, the Darlings have graced us with a message. Dare we reply?"
"What does it say?" Mei replied, ever the curious one. Lily told her. "Oh, well yes then."
Lily grinned and replied with,
Darling Darlene! Actually, your name means darling, doesn't it? Oh well, yes, of course we'll meet up with you. See you! Lily
Lily Evans, Kairi Majola, Xylia Jasper and Zhu Meiying were best friends. They were what were known by most of the school as either the `Venomous Ones' or, by the Princess's group, `Violet Venom' (or the `Flowers', by a few random people in the school).
But that was only because the Flowers had dubbed them with the nickname `Pink Poison' for the ridiculous amount of pink they wore and the fact they were rather sickly to be around.
Pink Poison (or the Darlings, as they were generally known) consisted of Darlene Underwood, Scarlett Beacon, Regina Phillips and Honey Grant, all perfectly tanned and British pureblooded Gryffindors.
The two groups were as different as could be-in VV, there was one Brit (muggleborn), one Finn (halfblood), one Chinese girl (also muggleborn) and one African (pureblood). In PP, there were two blondes, a brunette and a raven-haired girl.
But they had one connection. They both idolised the Marauders-James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin.
The Marauders were tall, handsome, bright, funny, reckless, and downright adorable. Every girl they'd ever gone out with wanted them again. Because of them, every girl in the entire school wanted to be the one they kissed, they trusted, they loved. And in several cases, girls went out of their way to stalk the boys, and offer to do things for them just so they would get a `hi' from the boys the next time they saw the girl.
The boys knew PP, but they had no idea who VV were (though they'd heard of them). The girls were too down the popularity ladder…in fact, they may even have not been on it. They were pretty enough, but classified as geeks for the fact they were the best in all their classes and had never had boyfriends. Not that they cared-they were happy with who they were.
Kairi, Mei, Lia and Lily all got ready for their evening out with the Darlings-in their traditional purple, of course. They always wore purple because it was funny to actually match their nickname on purpose, not be named because of it.
They slipped out of the Gryffindor Common Room at 7:50 and hurried down to the Entrance Hall. When they got there, they were ambushed by the Darlings, all in matching fuchsia pink tube tops and baby pink miniskirts with dark pink heels.
Darlene strode up to Lily and smiled angelically at her. "We know about your pathetic crushes on our boys, and we have a deal to make with you."
Lily was almost glad that it was Darlene who spoke, because it was well-known that she was the brightest of the Darlings. Scarlett's IQ was slightly lower, Regina's was lower again, and Honey…dearest Honey…
"You slut! You're trying to steal my Sirius from me! I hate you! I'll hurt you so bad you'll be crying to your mummy! You stupid black boyfriend-stealer!" Honey launched herself at Kairi, who was looking rather amused (Kairi automatically stepped aside when she saw the other girl ready herself).
That was about the extent of all the words Honey knew.
Darlene grabbed the back of Honey's top and used it to reel the girl back in. ("Honey, we need the girl alive, not dead, sweetheart.") Unfortunately, the top slipped…luckily there were only girls around…
Honey growled haughtily and replaced the top, muttering about unfairness (to Lily's amazement-the girl knew more words!) and Sirius.
"Well, sweeties," Darlene continued. The girl insisted on calling them that, because she knew it made them annoyed. "As I was saying, we have something to run by you. We've thought up a competition. You have to get as close to the boys as you can in a week. You also have to get a few items of theirs whilst you're at it. The team who gets down here first on Saturday next week at 8 gets the freedom of knowing that they can ask the boys out without the other team interfering. Losers never even look at the boys again. Crystal?"
Kairi laughed and replied with, "You're on. Now, what's this list of items we have to get?"
"Okay. A piece of Sirius's food, a pair of James's glasses, the white king from one of Peter's marble Wizard's Chess sets, a lock of Remus's hair, and a pair of each of their underpants."
Kairi choked with laughter. "Sirius doesn't eat some of his food? James has more than one pair of glasses? And their boxers? Oh my God!"
"James has three pairs of glasses," Lily replied automatically. "But I'm not sure that Sirius ever leaves anything on his plate."
"Do you still feel up to it, sweeties?" Darlene asked in that irritatingly sweet voice of hers.
"You bet we are!" Kairi said. With that, the girls walked off to write down what they had to do. This was not going to be easy, as the Marauders had never heard of any of them.
---
The Flowers had decided that each of them should get to know the person they fancied and also get the items of theirs. This meant Kairi was with Sirius, Mei was with Peter, Lia had Remus, and Lily had James. For all of them this seemed a dreadfully hard feat, as everywhere they looked the Darlings were talking to the Marauders, trying to flirt and make them like them. It looked like it was working, until later on the first day, Lily heard James tell Sirius that Darlene was driving him crazy.
So it seemed that the Darlings weren't as good as they thought.
---
What did you think of that? I think I'll go a day at a time. Most of the things will be found near the beginning of the week, except for James's glasses…that should be rather funny, how they get them…
Anyway, I really hope you like this. It should flow rather fast…eight or nine chapters at most.
ly,
Cazzy xxx
