A/N: This is my first story I wrote in fanfaction.net. I have no connection with Disney at all. The setting is in California, since I don't know what the real place is in the show. Enjoy!

SCENE ONE

(Setting: At home in the morning. Lizzie and Matt eating breakfast getting ready for school)

(Sam and Jo McGuire (Lizzie's parents) come in the kitchen)

Jo: So, who was that on the phone?

Sam: Oh, it was my boss. He said that there will be a promotion for one of his, so called employees. We're all going to have to meet at his office at 9 am. (Saying w/ a disappointed face)

(Lizzie and Matt starting to listen to their parents' conversation)

Matt: Uh, dad...(starts giggling) you are one of his employees!

Lizzie: (Ignoring Matt) Why do you look so disappointed Dad? I know you'll get the promotion. I know you will.

Sam: (sigh) Thanks Lizzie. Let's hope so. If I do, I'll get a better salary! I can buy a bigger television...oh! I can also buy a new car. And hey Matt! I can also buy you Playstation 2 and the X Box you always wanted.

Matt: (Grinning at Lizzie) Hah!

Sam: (Starting to talk faster) and while we're at it, I'll buy a mansio-

Lizzie: (Mouth wide open) Dad!! What about me?

Sam: Oh sorry Lizzie. I'll buy you a..

Jo: Sam! Your Dad didn't get the promotion yet kids. So don't get your hopes up. (Looks at the clock) Oh! Look at the time, you kids better be going to school. And Sam, you better be going to work.

Lizzie and Matt: (Getting up from their seats and getting their backpacks) OK. Bye Mom, bye Dad! (Going to front door)

Jo and Sam: Bye Kids.

Jo: Behave in school, and I mean both of you. Especially you Matt!

Matt: OK Mom!! (Shouting with a frowning face, already leaving the house)

Lizzie: (almost leaving the house, then stops walking) Oh Dad. By the way...good luck with the promotion! (Leaves the house and closes the front door)

Sam: (sigh) Thanks Lizzie. I sure need it.
