Authors Note: This is a duel plot story. So this is how it's going to work; this first chapter is the Mr. Finley and Lizzie half. Then the second chapter is the Lanny's parents part. It will alternate. So even chapters are Parents, odds are Lizzie.

In the first part of this story (Friday the thirteenth . . .McGuire Style) Lizzie and the gang got detention with a substitute named Mr. Finley. Matt and Lanny showed up and played a trick on Lizzie and Miranda with Kate, Ethan, Tugman, and Mr. Finley's help. Mr. Finley absolutely hates kids so he will give them detention for the slightest misdemeanor and he seriously abuses his power as a substitute teacher. Now it's been a week since the fruit punch, the Holograms and the kidnapping (Depending on which ending you like) and Mr. Finley is back as a substitute! And worst of all we found out that Gordo is moving to Sacramento and Miranda is moving to downtown San Francisco.

Secondary note: You never really find out where they live in the show so I've set it in a suburb of San Francisco.

Part 1 (Lizzie)

The Next Week

"I hate Mondays"

"That's Garfield's line," Gordo said.

"I hate this one extra because that means you're leaving tomorrow!" Miranda shouted. "I'm gonna miss you soooooo much."

"I'll miss you too Gordo." Lizzie leaned against him. Miranda shut her locker.

"This stinks,"

"Yeah, I know. I'm not happy about moving either," Gordo told them.

"Okay, yeah, but that wasn't what I was talking about." Miranda said.

"Hmm?" Lizzie asked.

"Guess who's back?" Miranda smirked. The bell rang loudly as they walked into their social studies class. Lizzie's jaw dropped when she saw who was sitting at the desk.

"You're kidding!"

"And your late," Mr. Finley looked up from the desk and handed them three pink slips. "I'm baaack," Lizzie's eyes widened.

"They didn't fire you?!" Lizzie realized what she said after she said it.

"We can see that!" It was Kate who made this remark. She was present last time when they served detention with Finley.

"For that snide remark . . ." Finley pushed away from his desk and strolled to Kate's seat. He slipped a slip onto her desk.

"Another detention!" Kate stormed. "I can't live like this!"

"Whoa calm down Kate," Claire said.

"No talking!" Mr. Finley gave her a slip to. Claire said nothing but sulked for the rest of the class.

"Today," Mr. Finley announced. "We'll be watching a movie about World War II. Any talking is punishable by detention." He walked to the TV and pushed the power button. And so the movie began. The narrator talked in a monotone and would not shut up. After a little while you could hear whispering in the back corner.

"ETHAN, VERUCA, LARRY!" Finley strutted to the back of the room and gave them all detention slips.

"I'm starting to see a pattern here," Veruca said.
