Chapter 1: Party Police, aka the Parents

Lizzie stood in front of the mirror and admired the reflection.  Her hair was perfectly crimped and her brand new butterfly clips sparkled in the light of her lamp.  Her eye makeup was dark and her lips were shining with lip gloss.  Her black shirt was low-cut and showed off her flat stomach.  Her skin-tight lowrider striped pants brought out her teenage figure.  She posed for herself.  She looked good, and she knew it. 

            Tonight was Ethan Craft's junior high graduation party.  Today had been the last day of school.  Tonight they would party until dawn.  Tonight they would party like the high schoolers they now considered themselves. 

            She heard the door bell ring.  It had to be Miranda.  She rushed over to her window and peeked through the blinds.  Yes, it was her.  She grabbed her purse and ran out of her room and down the stairs.  She opened the door to a much more grownup looking Miranda. 

            Her hair was up in the unique crazy style she was known for, and her face was loaded with makeup.  She wore a tight midriff shirt and a cute jeans miniskirt.  Her eyes were wide as she looked Lizzie up and down.

            "Wow, Lizzie! Looking good!" Miranda joked.  "You're actually allowed out of the house looking like that?"

            "Only if they don't see me!" Lizzie winked.  She shouted as she inched her way out the door:  "Bye mom! Bye dad! I'll see you tomorrow morning!"

            She was just about to close the door when she heard an angry voice behind her. 

            "Just a minute, young lady."  It was her father.

ANIMATED LIZZIE:  NO!! I was so close!! Why oh why did I HAVE to get caught?!  Sigh  Note to self:  Sneak out to future parties.

            Lizzie slowly walked back into the house to face her parents.  Jo McGuire stood shocked as she saw her innocent little girl reveal her new outfit. 

            "Elizabeth Brooke McGuire! Where did you get those clothes? Did you really think you would be allowed out of this house looking like that?" Jo screamed.

ANIMATED LIZZIE:  Great.  Caught by the Party Police, aka my parents.

            "Mom, I think I'm old enough to make my own decisions," Lizzie spat angrily.

            "I don't think so, Lizzie," Sam McGuire said sternly.  "You're going to march upstairs right now and change."

            "That's not fair!"  Lizzie screamed.  "No way! I'm not going to!"

            "If you don't change right now, you are going to be grounded for the entire summer," ordered Jo.

            "And you won't be going to any parties for a very long time," Sam added.

            Lizzie was speechless.  She looked at Miranda.  Her best friend's face was full of sympathy.

            "I'll go walk to Gordo's and we'll come back for you," she said in a small voice.

            "Ok.  See you later Miranda."  Lizzie sighed.  The door closed slowly and she stared angrily at her parents.

            "Take your time, young lady," her mother said sarcastically.

            Lizzie spun on her heel and headed upstairs to her room.

            "The makeup, too, Lizzie!" Jo yelled up the stairs.

            Lizzie made her way to her room and slammed the door.
