Someone Else's Star
A.N.: I hope y'all like this story! I decided to write this, even though I know I owe y'all more chapters on "The Raft Trip". This idea just popped into my head last night, while I was listening to Clay Aiken on my computer. It's kinda short, but kinda sweet at the same time, I think. Well, Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I only own the story idea! Disney owns the Lizzie McGuire crew. And Clay Aiken owns himself. The song, "Someone Else's Star" belongs to Bryan White.
Lizzie stared out her bedroom window, looking up at the stars. She sighed as she thought about all that had happened that day.
"Kate's lucky," she thought. "Ethan Craft notices her. He never notices me."
A song she'd recently heard Clay Aiken sing on American Idol popped into her head then.
Alone again tonight,
Without someone to love.
Stars are shinin' bright,
So one more wish goes up.
Oh I wish I may,
And I wish with all my might,
For the love I'm dreamin' of,
And missin' in my life.
Gordo, lay outside up on his roof, looking for the Big Dipper, which for some reason, was hard to find tonight. He knew that if his parents ever caught him up on the roof, they'd have a fit, especially his Mom, but he loved it up there. It was what he liked to call, 'His Thinking Place', where he could go to gather his thoughts.
"I know I always say I don't care," he said aloud to the billions and billions of stars. "But – just once – I'd like to be the guy with the girls fawning over him. I mean, sure, I have Lizzie and Miranda, but they're not in love with me, like all the girls are with that dimwitted Ethan Craft."
You'd think that I could find,
A true love of my own.
It happens all the time,
To people that I know.
There wishes all come true,
So I've got to believe,
That there's still someone out there who,
Is meant for only me.
Miranda stared out her father's car window, as they drove along, thinking to herself silently.
"Why don't my wishes ever come true?" She wondered. "Why do guys always notice Lizzie? Okay, sure she's pretty and fun and nice and all, but I am too." She paused. "What? Is it 'cause I'm not blond? I don't think that should matter, but with my luck, it does."
"Wait," she accidentally said aloud.
"What was that Miranda, Dear?" Her mother asked.
"Nothing, sorry Mom," Miranda answered, then went back to her thoughts. She smiled to herself. "One wish did come true. I met Aaron Carter and got to sing for him. And he told me I was pretty good."
She thought a little bit more. "But still, he sang to Lizzie more than he sang to me. AND he KISSED her! I didn't get a kiss, but SHE did!" She sighed heavily, and let her shoulder slump some.
Chorus:
I guess I must be wishin' on someone else's star,
It seems like someone else keeps gettin' what I'm wishin' for.
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are?
I guess I must be wishin'... on someone else's star
"Why?" Lizzie questioned herself. "Why doesn't Ethan Craft notice me? Oh, how I wish he would."
She groaned as she tore her gaze from the stars, and looked to the sidewalk down below.
"Of course, there just HAS to be a cute couple down there kissing, right at the very moment I decide to look down," she muttered bitterly. "Why's everyone in love this spring? I'm in love with Ethan, but he's not in love with me. I wish he was."
I sit here in the dark,
And stare up at the sky.
I can't give my heart,
One good reason why,
Everywhere I look,
It's lovers that I see.
Seems like everyone's in love,
Everyone but me.
Gordo spotted a shooting star, and felt sad.
"Why should I wish on you? Huh?" He asked the star. "What's the point? It's not like you're ever gonna make my wish come true."
He sighed inwardly. "But with my luck, if I won't make my wish, someone else will wish on you, if they haven't already. I swear, if someone else's wish comes true, I'm gonna go crazy."
"I wish for Lizzie to love me back, the way I love her," he wished. "And that Aaron Carter never comes back to town, and steals her from me. One kiss is all he needs, I want the rest to be mine."
Chorus:
I guess I must be wishin' on someone else's star,
It seems like someone else keeps gettin' what I'm wishin' for.
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are?
I guess I must be wishin'... on someone else's star
Miranda felt lone tears trickle down her face softly.
"I wish guys would notice me like they notice Lizzie. Just once, I'd like to get the guy." She paused. "Even if it's not Ethan Craft or Aaron Carter, please let me get the guy she's her eye on. It's not fair that I'm always left in the dust."
She closed her eyes and fell asleep in her seat, dreaming of a guy who'd want her and not Lizzie, not knowing there was a guy out there somewhere dreaming of her.
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are?
Oh I guess I must be wishin',
On someone else's star.
