A Special Guest







Chapter 1: Welcome to My Life







26 year old Lizzie McGuire searched though her purse for the key that opened her store. She found it and unlocked the door. She entered the small boutique and flicked on the lights. She set her bag on the floor next to the register and let out a huge sigh.

"Hey." Called out a voice.

"Hi Miranda." Replied Lizzie, as her best friend entered the store.

"You sound bummed about something." Remarked Miranda. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing really." Replied Lizzie. "Just the Monday morning blues. I guess." She ran a hand through her chin length blonde hair.

"I hear ya." Replied Miranda. "I had another rejection this weekend."

"Oh, that new show opening up next month huh?" asked Lizzie.

"Yep." Said Miranda, a bit depressed. "That's the 5th one this month! I thought I did really well on the audition too."

Miranda was struggling to find a singing/acting job. She went on countless auditions, but hadn't been "discovered" yet. In the meantime, she worked at the tiny boutique Lizzie had opened up. It was Lizzie's pride and joy. She had transferred to the Fashion Institute of New York her sophomore year, after realizing she wanted to be a designer. She had found the little hole- in-the-wall shop 3 years ago and fell in love with it. She fixed it up and filled it with her clothes, shoes and accessory designs. The store, which bore the name "Elizabeth McGuire Designs" had finally started turning a profit this year. A few semi-famous clients had found it, as well as a sit- com shooting in New York. Someday she hoped to be the next Kate Spade. In the meantime, she would settle for being able to pay the bills.

"That's alright. It's going to happen soon." Lizzie reassured her. "This year is turning out pretty well so far!"

"For you anyway." Retorted Miranda. "Your store is finally making money, you're engaged, and you just moved into a gorgeous apartment."

Lizzie looked down at her left hand, specifically the sparkling diamond on her ring finger. "I'm not complaining!"

"I know. And you're right. I have a feeling too." Replied Miranda. "Something's coming soon."

Lizzie and Miranda went about getting the store ready for the days' customers. Just after Miranda had flipped the "Open" sign over, someone came in.

"Welcome to Elizabeth McGuire Designs." Started Miranda, as she made her way across the store. "Oh. It's just you."

"Don't sound too excited." Laughed the male voice.

"Oh Lizzie!" called Miranda to Lizzie, who was in the back room. "Loverboy is here!"

Lizzie came back into the store to greet her fiancée. "Hi!" she called.

"Hi beautiful." He replied. "You left this at home." He said handing Lizzie her cell phone. "I figured you'd need it. I also brought you guys some coffee."

"Aw thank you Gordo!" she said, flinging her arms around him. "You're the best!"

"So they tell me." He joked.

"Thanks bud." Said Miranda, grabbing a coffee.

"No problem." He replied. "I have a pre-production meeting to go to, so I'll catch up with you later. Lunch at 1:00?"

"You got it!" Lizzie said.

"You too Miranda?" asked Gordo.

"We'll see. I'm waiting for a callback." She explained.

"Ok." He replied. "Bye sweetheart."

"Bye!" said Lizzie, as she kissed him.

"Eww!" exclaimed Miranda. She was ok with them being together, but it still weirded her out a little. Luckily, it hadn't strained the friends' relationship too much.

Gordo laughed as he exited the store.
