It's Missing

this is a part after the movie that I wanted to try on...

"Bye mom, dad!" called Lizzie as they got on to the first cabin of their plane, which was returning home. Lizzie's classmates and Lizzie were on the second cabin.

Glancing at her ticket, she noticed that she was supposed to be sitting on the seat 29A. "oooo a window seat!" she thought and sat down.

"Hey Lizzie," said someone with the ticket 29B. The someone threw her luggage onto the loft above the seats and sat down next to Lizzie with a weary look on her face.

"Kate? What, you're suddenly tired?? I can't remember you doing anything to help us at all!!" Lizzie asked with a small look of surprise.

Kate sighed. She knew what was coming and she wanted to say what she wanted to say before Lizzie herself asked her. She put on her seatbelts. "I did, in fact, carry my luggage," she said, ignoring the look on Lizzie's face. She deserved whatever she got from Lizzie, but she knew she had to explain. "Look, Lizzie, for the past few years I haven't been very nice to you..." Lizzie snorted. "Okay, not nice to you at all. And remember when I said I wanted to be the cool one and you be the pumpkin?" Lizzie nodded, clearly remembering the moment when she thought that Kate would actually want to be friends with her.

"Well, Lizzie, I've been thinking, and now I'd really, really love to be a pumpkin too," she continued, looking slightly sheepish. "With you."

Lizzie stared at Kate, looking slightly suspicious. But looking at her enemy, now ex-enemy, she realised that Kate's face wore an expression of hope, friendli-ness and sadness. "Kate..."

Kate looked up from her fiddling fingers. "Yeah?"

"I'd love for you to be a fellow pumpkin -" Lizzie grinned, her face mirroring Kate's, "- but first, tell me, why the sudden change of heart?"

"I realised what an idiot I was, with the help of, believe it or not, Ethan." Kate smiled.

"Ethan? Really?"

"yeah, he finally said something that's useful."

Lizzie giggled. "Well, Kate..."

There was a small pause of around fifteen minutes.

"Kate, I love your outfit."

Kate beamed. She knew Lizzie forgave her for the past few years of hell.

"Thanks, Lizzie."

"No problem. After all, that's what best friends are for."

The two hugged and started chatting, wanting to make up of the years of friendship they'd lost.

Gordo and Ethan looked at the scene from a few seats away. "Well, I've gotta hand it to you Ethan, a job well done." "Thanks man."
