"Hey, Lizzie!" Lizzie McGuire heard her name being called out by her old friend Kate. Everything had changed after that one summer Kate went to camp, so Lizzie wasn't exactly sure why Kate was calling out her name. "Lizzie, oh my gosh, I just found out that Ethan likes you," Kate suddenly got a very annoyed look on her face. "But, if I even so much as hear that you are trying to get him, trust me, you'll regret it." Lizzie wasn't fazed at all by Kate's threat. "Kate, why don't you get over the fact that Ethan just doesn't like you anymore," Lizzie's best friend, Miranda Sanchez chimed in. Kate gave Miranda a look, and as David Gordon, whom all three of the girls lovingly referred to as Gordo, walked up to them. Kate turned her head to look Gordo in the eye, and smiled as she gave him a little wink that only he could catch, then looked back at Lizzie and with a roll of her eyes said "See you later, Lizzie the Loser". Kate saw her new friend Parker walking down the hall and ran to go meet her.
Gordo immediately took his mind off Kate, whom he very secretly had the tiniest crush on. He just loved what he called her 'spunk'. He then turned to Lizzie, whom everybody except her knew that he had the biggest crush on. "Lizzie, are you and Miranda coming to the Digital Bean after school today?" he asked. Lizzie turned back to him "For what?" she wondered. "Didn't you hear that Ethan Craft is throwing the biggest party of the semester there today?" Miranda looked at Lizzie as if she was crazy. "No," Lizzie replied, "What for?" "I can't tell you that, Lizzie." Miranda was obviously firm on this statement. "Well, okay, I'll be there," Lizzie answered.

{Later, at the Digital Bean}

"Yo, Lizzie, you made it!" Ethan's very distinguishable voice rang out in Lizzie's ears. "Yeah, great party", she commented, and then turned her attention back to Gordo and Miranda. "Hey, Gordo, over here!" Kate called for Gordo. Gordo started off Kate's way, and Lizzie and Miranda followed. They had made it halfway to the table Kate was sitting at when suddenly she got up and started coming towards them. "I said Gordo, where in 'Hey, Gordo, over here' did you hear 'Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo, over here?'" Kate said sarcastically. "Fine," replied Lizzie, as she and Miranda headed back to the dance floor. Lizzie looked over her shoulder as she grabbed Miranda's arm and said "Wait". Miranda looked at Lizzie as if she were crazy, once again, and said "Why are you looking over at Kate? All she's doing is talking to Gordo". At that very moment, Kate grabbed Gordo's hand and brought him the rest of the way to her table. "Let's go!" Lizzie said in response, as Miranda had seen the same exact scene as she. The two girls made their way over to the table that was next to Kate's and ducked underneath the tablecloth. "Gordo, I just want you to know that I like you, a lot, and I wanted to know if you'd be my steady boyfriend", Kate's voice rang out. Then Gordo's: "Kate, I like you a lot, and you know how I feel about Lizzie." Kate must have given him a look of disappointment, because then "But, of course, I will be your boyfriend." Lizzie and Miranda covered each others mouths, as they know they both would have erupted in anguish if they hadn't. Suddenly, the tablecloth got pulled up off the table because some of the dancers had gotten just a little too excited. Kate must have been looking when the red colored fabric got pulled off, because suddenly she got a very, very rude look on her face as she excused herself from Gordo, saying that her lip gloss had rolled under the table that was next to them. As she passed by the table Lizzie and Miranda were over, she took her smoothie and placed it on the table. She walked around the table, then kneeled somewhere near another table, and got back up. She walked all the way around the table that Lizzie and Miranda were under, and as she walked by, purposely knocked over her smoothie so that it would hit both the girls underneath it. The girls, of course, shrieked as the smoothie was barely even drank out of, and still ice cold, and that got Gordo's attention. He saw where the girls were, and made his way to them. "How much did you hear?" was his first question. "Enough", both the girls said in unison. Gordo than said "I'm going out with Kate, and there's nothing that either of you two can say or do to change my mind."
