A/N: I know, I know. I'm starting another story already! But I can't help
it! This came to mind and I just had to use it!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Lizzie McGuire television shows. Though, I do own Margo, Jonathan, Brian, and any later characters you may not recognize.
Summary: Lizzie & Gordo have been seemingly very happily married for many years. But when Matt & Miranda plan a 20th wedding anniversary for them, things go spiraling out of control. [Mostly from their daughter's view] Please r/r!
Chapter One: A New Beginning
"Kids, let's go!" Seventeen-year-old Margo Gordon heard her mother call. She quickly applied her lipstick, grabbed her jacket & books, and ran downstairs.
"I don't want to discuss this now," Thirty-nine-year-old Lizzie was saying to her husband, David, sometimes still known as Gordo. Margo couldn't help but notice the upset looks on both of her parent's faces as she sat down at the breakfast table.
"Pass the eggs, dad," she asked. He handed them to her and then picked up the newspaper.
A young boy trampled down the stairs to the kitchen. "Mom, I don't want to go to school today."
"Jonathan, I do not want to hear anything of it," Lizzie said. "We've discussed this billions of times. You will make new friends, you'll see."
"But I liked my old friends. Mark & Dan were my best friends. I don't want new friends," 7-year-old Jonathan complained.
"David, help me," Lizzie said.
"I don't want to discuss this now," he replied, mimicking what his wife had said earlier.
Lizzie sighed, annoyed.
"Mom, you can't blame Jonathan," Margo said. "You guys pulled us out of school in our third month to come here to who-knows-whats-ville for dad's darned job promotion. This completely bites."
"Margo!" Lizzie shrieked.
"Mom, you know I don't want to be here. None of us want to be here," Margo said.
"Enough!" David finally said, putting down the newspaper. "We are here now. Nothing is going to change that. That's it. I don't want to hear any more."
His upset tone put the room in a very uncomfortable setting. That was, until 13-year-old Brian came downstairs. He had a large smile on his face.
"Well, I'm happy to be here," he said. Everyone looked up at him. "Maybe I'll finally get a girlfriend."
His comment changed the entire mood of the room. Everyone started laughing, though Margo noticed that each time her parents looked at one another, something was weird.
But for that split second all of their fears & upset thoughts could be forgotten.
[a/n: Do you like it so far? It hasn't yet got into the "good stuff" obviously, but it's getting there slowly. It will speed up soon. Please r/r!]
