Time Goes By
A Lizzie McGuire Musical
by OGShake04
Author's Note: I was listening to music and these songs kept catching my attention. I started listening to them all the time and every time they would remind me of Lizzie and Gordo. So finally I decided to write a story using these songs, but then I thought that it would make more sense to have them actually sing them instead of just listen to them or have them be a background soundtrack. Well, anyway, one song will be sung in each chapter and the chapters will be named after the song featured in it. Also I'll let you know who sings it in case you want to download it or something. These are all songs I really love and hopefully you will too. Please review, if you love it say so and tell me why or if you hate it tell me, I really want to learn to write well. Thanks everybody and hope you love the story! The songs will be indicated by around them for songs sung out loud and for songs sung so only the singer can hear them. Oh and no movie or Bye, Bye Hillridge Junior High.
This story is dedicated to my close friend Lynsey and the nameless guy she feels destined to be with. Hopefully this will inspire the gods to help her with her wish.
Chapter 1: Crazy For This Girl (Evan and Jaron)
(It's the last day of 10th grade and Miranda is once again spending the summer in Mexico and has in fact already left. Also they all have their license but only Lizzie has a car. A maroon Pontiac Grand Am.)
School
Lizzie walked out of her last class of the day and went to meet Gordo at their lockers.
"This has been the longest year ever. I had always heard that this year had the most work, but I never imagined all that happened this year," she remarked.
"Yeah, I know, it was even tough for me," Gordo said.
Lizzie gave him a look that said, "Yeah, you have it rough Mr. Genius."
"Sorry, but it's the truth, I thought this year was really hard too."
"Ok, ok, I believe you, you just don't have to act so superior."
"I wasn't trying to, I just was trying to make a point about how hard it was."
"Well, whatever, so do you wanna do something to celebrate the end of such a monumental year?"
"Sure, what did you have in mind?"
"I don't know, something special and summery. I mean the Digital Bean or a movie would be too ordinary and this is a celebration. (Pause). I know let's go on a picnic!"
"A picnic?" "Yeah, we can go to my house and pack a dinner and then drive somewhere."
"Ok, I guess that sounds cool. Oh, and I know the perfect place."
"She doesn't need to know that it's perfect because it's romantic," he thought.
Lizzie's House
"MOM, I'M HOME!"
"Oh, hi honey, hi Gordo."
"Hi, Mrs. McGuire."
"So what are your plans for the night?"
"Well, since it was the last day of school we thought we should do something special to celebrate so we decided to go on a picnic."
"Oh, that sounds like fun. Well, you kids have fun."
They packed up a basket and took off in the car. Gordo drove since he had picked the place.
"So where is this 'perfect place,' Gordo?"
"Well, it's kind of out of town a ways."
"How far out of town?"
"About half an hour."
"Oh, fun, road trip. Ok so not really but kind of."
As usual Lizzie talked nonstop the whole way there, but Gordo didn't mind; he loved listening to Lizzie. In fact he loved everything about Lizzie. He wasn't sure quite when his feelings began to change but he could no longer deny that they were there. He just wished that there were some way he could tell her. Every time he tried he froze and started thinking about how it would ruin the friendship if she didn't feel the same. And he was pretty sure that there was no way that she felt the same. He decided that it was better having her as friend than not having her at all. They arrived at the "perfect place" at about 5:00. They got out of the car and Lizzie looked around the most beautiful park she had ever seen. There was a small pond with cute little ducks swimming in it, bench swings, gorgeous streets lights along the winding paths, and flowers everywhere.
"Oh, my gosh, Gordo how did you know about this place? It's beautiful."
It was also deserted.
"One day I was driving around, you know just to be by myself to think, and I just came across it."
"You were right this is perfect. I can't believe that there's no one else here."
"I'm not hungry yet, are you?"
"Yeah me neither. Let's take a walk first."
"Sounds good."
They walked all around the park silently for the most part. That was the nice thing about their relationship, they usually never ran out of things to talk about but they also knew when to stop and just be quiet without it becoming uncomfortable. After awhile they decided it was time to eat. They went back to the car and got the picnic basket. They sat down on the grass and ate. By then the sun had just started to set.
"Oh, Gordo, the sun is setting. Isn't is it beautiful?"
"You are beautiful," he thought.
"Ahh, yeah, it's great."
Lizzie grabbed his hand and ran towards a bench swing right in front of the pond. They sat down and watched sun set; it's refection on the pond. They sat there for quite awhile in the dark, not knowing that they were each thinking about the other. Lizzie looked down at her watch and-
"Oh, my gosh, it's 11:00 already!"
"Oh, man, we should be getting back." They collected their picnic basket and went to the car. This time Lizzie drove. It was a warm night with the stars shining bright on them. Gordo spent the majority of the ride home stealing glances at Lizzie as she talked nonstop again. Lizzie looked over at Gordo and saw him looking at her.
"Gordo? What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
She rolls the window down
And she talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don't know why
But she's changed my mind
Would you look at her?
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
That I'm crazy for this girl
Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl
She was the one to hold me
The night the sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn't end?
Why didn't I know what I know now?
Would you look at her?
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she'll figure out
That I'm crazy for this girl
Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl
Right now (right now)
Face to face (face to face)
All my fears (all my fears)
Pushed aside
And right now (right now)
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life (of my life)
With you
Would you look at her?
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
That I'm crazy for this girl
Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl
Would you look at her?
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
That I'm crazy for this girl
Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl
