A word about my story before you begin reading it:

I never saw The Lizzie McGuire Movie, so I can't really write happened after it! So basicaly, my story is like a continuation of the series as if the movie had never come out. But I hope you will like it just the same!

I do not own any of the characters from Lizzie McGuire. I am simply writing fanfiction. Please be considerate and do not use my ideas and plots! Thank you.

Chapter 1

Toon Lizzie: I can't believe this is happening! I'm going to high school! Okay, so Gordo went to it before, and didn't quite care for it. But hey, it'll be different now! Miranda, him, and me we all are together. I'm just going to love high school!

Lizzie picked up the outfit that she'd laid out the night before. Her parents had got her ton of new clothes for high school, and this was her absolute favorite.

She carried them out of her room, and headed towards the bathroom. The door was closed. "Matt, are you in there?" She asked, a little bit annoyed.

Toon Lizzie: These are the times that I wish the most that I had my own bathroom! It's my first day of high school, and it's going to take forever to get ready!

"Duh! Why else would the door be closed?" Lizzie heard Matt call out from inside the bathroom. She heard the squishhhh sound of hair gel coming out of a bottle.

"Well... just hurry up!" Lizzie told him, with a hand on her hip. She could practically see Matt rolling his eyes in there, probably trying to take even slower now.

Lizzie hurried back to her room, and started brushing her hair while she waited. She gasped. "I haven't picked out my shoes yet!" She said to herself.

She scrambled over to her closet and thrust open the door. She looked at the rack of last year's worn out shoes. "Mom forgot to get me new shoes!" She exclaimed.

She cringed at her old ones. Maybe Miranda has some I can borrow! She thought, picking up her phone and dialing Miranda's phone number.

"Hello?" A sleepy-sounding voice answered.

"Wake up Miranda! First day of school!" Lizzie exclaimed in disbelief.

Toon Lizzie: How could she not have been up yet?! Hel-lo!

"Please tell me that is not the reason you called, Lizzie!" Miranda replied, yawning into the phone. "I do have an alarm clock, you know!"

"Well, it must not be working, because you should have been up by now! We're going to high school. It's like, the most important thing that should be on our minds right now. Don't you want enough time to get ready? Wait... don't answer that. I don't have time to chat! This is an emergency. I need to borrow some shoes!" Lizzie told Miranda, starting to panic.

"Lizzie. Just chill! I have plenty of time to get ready... and why do you need to borrow shoes?! Don't you have a whole closet full of them?" Miranda asked.

"Yeah, last year's rejects! You don't want to go to high school and have people think I'm a geek, do you?" Lizzie said, exasperated.

"They're just shoes! Besides, why should you care so much about what people think?" Miranda replied, clearly not understanding why Lizzie thought this was such a crisis.

"Who are you and what have you done to Miranda?! You're starting to sound just like Gordo!" Lizzie exclaimed.

She suddenly heard the bathroom door open. "I'll call you back in a few minutes. Bye!" She hung up, rushed to the bathroom, and got changed. She put her hair up into a cool, new scrunchie, along with some clips that all the girls in magazines seemed to be wearing lately.

Toon Lizzie: Maybe Miranda's right... I need to stop stressing so much. But I don't want to wear old shoes... (Looking down at a pair of scuffed up ones)

Lizzie once again took her phone and called Miranda's number. "So do you have any shoes I can wear?"

"Sorry, Lizzie. Miranda's in the bathroom." Lizzie heard Miranda's mom tell her. "But I'm sure she could spare a pair! Could you wait just a minute until she gets out?"

"Sure, thanks." Lizzie replied, a little embarrassed. Mrs. Sanchez put Lizzie on hold, and Lizzie looked through her yearbook while she was waiting.

She read the entry Gordo had written for about the millionth time. Why had it taken so long for him to write it? Was what Kate said at the murder-mystery party about Gordo liking her true?

Lizzie was deep in thought, and the sound of Mrs. Sanchez in her ear startled her. "Here's Miranda, dear."

"Oh... thank you!" Lizzie said. She put the yearbook down.

"Hey Lizzie. Sorry... I was a little grouchy before." Miranda said.

"No problem." Lizzie smiled. "So, do you have any shoes I can borrow?"

"Yeah, my mom bought me some new pairs for school. But how am I supposed to get them to you before school?" Miranda asked her.

"Well, maybe you could bring them onto the bus!" Lizzie exclaimed, an idea forming in her head. "I could wear something on the bus that would slip off easily, like flops. Then I could take them off, and put them in my backpack!"

"Okay. Well, I need to get ready. See you on the bus." Miranda told Lizzie.

"Bye!" Lizzie said excitedly.

She went downstairs, where she found her mom making oatmeal for her and Matt. "Here you go, Lizzie." Jo told her daughter, with puffy eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong? Have you been crying?" Lizzie asked.

"Oh honey, don't worry about me. It's just that you're going to high school..."

Toon Lizzie: Great. Just when I get all excited about it, she makes it sounds like a horrible thing!

"And... then you'll graduate and go to college..." Jo replied, trying not to let a tear fall.

Matt walked in the room. "What's going on here?" He asked, taking a bowl of oatmeal, and poured himself a glass of orange juice.

"Nothing!" Jo, Lizzie, and Toon Lizzie all said at once.

Toon Lizzie: Why does Mom have to get all emotional when Matt comes in the room? Why can't I just have an older brother who sits in his room all the time and ignores me? (Watching a door slam in her face that as rock band posters all over it)

Jo wiped her face. "Eat your oatmeal, Lizzie." She said, trying to smile, and walked quickly upstairs. Lizzie tried to eat, but it was almost impossible.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Matt chuckled.

"No, dork! I'm just excited." She said.

Toon Lizzie: Or am I? (Scratches head)

Finally, the time came to go to the bus stop. Since high school was at a different school, she had to wait at a different bus stop. It arrived a few minutes later after she got there.

Her and the others that had been standing around her got on the bus. Lizzie saw Miranda sitting on the right side, and sat down next to her.

"Here are the shoes. Whatever you do, please don't wreck them!" Miranda told her. "Since when would I wreck them?" Lizzie asked.

"Well no offense... but you are a little clumsy..." Miranda replied, her voice trailing off.

"Like when?"

"Well... when you fell into the trash can, when you've hit your head on lockers, when you've tripped and fell, when..."

"Okay I get your point already!" Lizzie said. She sighed. "I'll be careful."

"Thank you." Miranda said. The girls talked all the way to their new school, trying to remember everything Gordo had told them about high school.

The bus made a few stops to pick up some others, and finally it came to the school. Lizzie and Miranda looked out their windows.

"Wow, it's big." Miranda said, looking at it.

"Yeah." Lizzie replied, fidgeting with her hair.

Toon Lizzie: I'm not nervous! I'm not! (Bumps into a stack of school books) Okay... maybe just a little.
