Disclaimer- I don't own lizzie mcguire or any of the characters ( I wish I did though) Only the plot is mine. So pleaz don't sue me okey dokey

This story takes place right after Lizzie got home from her trip to Rome. She went home earlier than the rest of the students on the trip because her parents wanted to spend a little time with her after the events in Rome. The have just now driven home from the airport.

Lizzie checked the messages on the Mcguire's answering machine. She needed to know if Miranda had gotten back from Mexico yet. She couldn't wait to tell her what had happened on the class trip to Rome. She scrolled through all the messages until she got to one from Miranda. " Hi Lizzie, I know you are probably still in Rome but I really needed to let you know this. My parents have decided that . well, you might want to sit down, and we're staying in Mexico. My parents were just so excided to be back in their hometowns that when my grandma suggested that we come and live with her, my parents just couldn't resist. I'm in my room right now for the last time. I just finished packing up all of my stuff. By the time you get home I will probably be unpacking my stuff at my grandmothers house in Mexico City. I'm going to miss you and Gordo so much. I will call you again in about a week to give you my new phone number and address. I will still have my same email address but I won't have my computer set up for a while. Today is June, 15 I will be in leaving for Mexico on the 17th. If you get back before then come over and see me. And if not I guess this is good bye I'll miss you" Lizzie stood in shock looking at the answering machine. " What is it hunny?" Lizzie's mom asked. Lizzie looked at her mom for a second and started crying. " Lizzie, what's that matter?" " Mi-Miranda's m- moving to to Mexico" Lizzie sobbed. " What????" Jo exclaimed. " It says on the answering machine message."Lizzie said. "I don't know how I will survive!!!" " But you will have Gordo" Jo said. Lizzie didn't even want to think about Gordo. If she did she might decide that she liked him as more than a friend. And that couldn't happen. She had known Gordo since well forever she couldn't possibly like him in that sort of a way. What had she been thinking, kissing him in Rome? So did she really like him? It was very confusing. " Oh, Mom it just won't be the same with just Gordo. I mean Gordo is nice and all but it will be just so different." The next week was a blur for Lizzie. all she really did was mope around the house and wait for Miranda to call. She really needed some one to talk to. Then it dawned on her, Gordo and the rest of her classmates were supposed to come back from Rome in a week. And chances were that Gordo would want to talk to her when he got back. She had been too upset to remember earlier. Thankfully Miranda's call came.

M: Lizzie!!! I missed you so much I really really didn't want to move, but my parents were so excited about moving that I just couldn't tell them that I wanted to stay here L: Um, Miranda you really need to hear what happened in Rome. M: okay tell me what happened in Rome. Lizzie told Miranda about her rather eventful trip to Rome. M; YOU KISSED HIM. HOW COULD YOU YOU'VE KNOW GORDO FOR LIKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE L: calm down Miranda. You're hurting my ear. I don't know why I did it either. I obviously can't talk to him now. And since you moved to Mexico I won't have any friends next year. M: well, it looks like you have two options A. you can pretend that it never happened or B. you can avoid him and I guess there's one more option you could tell him that you really do like him L: ya. HEY WAIT A SECOND I DON'T LIKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! M: yeah, why would you have kissed him if you didn't like him? L: I don't know. Look, I gotta go I'll call you later

Lizzie hung up the phone and sighed. Talking to Miranda had made things worse. She decides that she would just pretend that nothing had happened. Gordo was supposed to go home today. His parents had some important sycyatrist's stuff to do in New York City so the McGuire's were going to pick him up at the airport. Just then Mrs. McGuire yelled that matt and Lizzie needed to get ready to go to the airport. Lizzie went up to her room to brush her hair and put on her shoes. She suddenly realized that the shirt she was wearing was dirty. She put on a different shirt but she didn't like that one so she changed again." What am I doing?" she thought, " It's almost like I want Gordo to like me." " Lizzie, we're going to be late if you don't hurry up!" yelled Lizzie's mom. " Coming mom."
