~*~Miranda's House, 4:30 PM~*~
Miranda Sanchez sat at her computer desk, typing away. She was working on her English assignment. Write about a happy memory. How boring.
She looked outside her window, the rain drizzled and clung to it. The rain had started shortly after she had left school.
She turned back to the computer, lost in her own little world. She thought about her best friends, Lizzie McGuire and David "Gordo" Gordon. They were all detention earlier that very same day. She'd had a very interesting dream and had confessed to causing everyone to be in detention. She also told Lizzie and Gordo that they needed to be together.
~*~Flashback to the Detention classroom, 4:55 PM~*~
Miranda stood up and made her way to the front of the room. "Guys, this was all my fault." Everyone looked up. "I shouldn't have thrown the notebook. But Gordo, Lizzie, you guys need to stop pretending. You both are in love with each other and should be together."
No one made a sound. Everyone was speechless, especially Gordo and Lizzie.
"Mr. Digg, this is my fault. Everyone should be able to leave."
"Great!" Kate said, standing up. "See ya!" She walked out of the class room.
Danny, Larry, and Ethan all nodded in agreement, stood up and left. Gordo and Lizzie sat right where they were.
"Miranda-" Lizzie and Gordo began at the same time.
"You go first." Gordo told Lizzie. She smiled at him and he beamed.
"Miranda, what was that all about?" Lizzie asked.
"Um..." Miranda began. "You're not mad are you?"
"No! Well, actually-Gordo-" Miranda cut her off.
"See now, that's nice and all, but you need to have a nice little chat with Gordo. Tell me how it works out. You can leave. In fact, why don't you have that little talk now? Not here of course." Miranda said.
"O-kay..." Lizzie replied. "Gordo?"
"Uh, yeah. Let me get my things." Gordo picked up his book bag and slung it over his shoulder. He put the pencil behind his ear and folded up the English paper before sticking it in his pocket.
Lizzie and Gordo turned to leave, but Gordo turned around to say something to Miranda. "Thanks." he mouthed and then left with Lizzie, smiling broadly.
~*~Present~*~
They had left together and Lizzie was going to call Miranda as soon as she finished talking to Gordo. Miranda could hardly wait; she'd wanted to hook her two best friends up forever, but Gordo had sworn her to secrecy. She had broken her promise because she knew Gordo and Lizzie were destined to be with each other. It was dangerous to mess with Fate.
Miranda typed for five more minuets, then decided it was too quiet. She put a CD in her CD player and cranked it up. She went back to typing. Since it was so loud, it was no great surprise when she almost didn't hear the phone ring.
Miranda hopped up from her computer, turned to down the volume on the CD player, and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Miranda, it's Lizzie," came a voice from the other end. "I just got back from the park with Gordo." Lizzie sounded dreamy, and she was probably smiling.
"Oooh!" Miranda squealed. "Tell me everything!"
"Well, when we left detention, we headed for the park..."
~*~Flashback to 4:00 PM~*~
They headed for the park, both silent. Lizzie stopped at the swings. "Do you wanna..." she trailed off.
"Swing?" Gordo filled in for her. She nodded. "Sure." They both sat down on the swings.
"You know, when I was little, I made a list of a the things I wanted in a boy when I got married." Lizzie said softly.
"What were they?" Gordo asked, sounding hopeful. He kicked off slightly from the ground, swinging a little big.
Lizzie smiled a little bit. "Well, for one, I wanted a smart guy." She kicked off too. "Cute and funny too. But those are the normal ones. Then I had two rather different ones."
"Which were...?"
"It's kind of strange, but I never wanted to marry a guy who wouldn't swing with me." Gordo smiled. So far, he was doing great.
"What was the other?"
"Well, I wanted a guy who would play in the rain with me. It's silly, I know." Lizzie looked at the ground.
"No, no it's not." Gordo said. He caught Lizzie's swing so she stopped. He tipped her chin up. "I think it's sweet."
"Really?" Lizzie's eyes lit up.
"Yeah. Listen, Lizzie?" Gordo asked, looking into Lizzie's eyes. He moved his swing closer to hers.
"Yeah?"
"Do you...you know...maybe...like me?" Gordo asked. When she didn't say anything, Gordo thought, Great, I've ruined my friendship with her.
"Gordo...I... " She trailed off.
Gordo sighed. "I knew it. You hate me now, don't you?"
"No, I-No! Just the opposite!" Lizzie cried. "Gordo I-I do like you. You-you do like me too, right?"
"Oh, yes!" Gordo let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding. "How long have you liked me?"
"Oh-" Lizzie began, "I'm not quite sure. I had a crush on you in the fourth grade, you know that. I'm not sure it ever quite went away, but I pushed it away and convinced myself I was in love with Ethan Craft. It came up again after Ethan's party, when you were just leaving."
"Oh."
"What about you?"
"Oh, Lizzie..." The question was, when hadn't he liked her? "I think-I think I've loved you forever, but didn't admit it to myself until recently."
"When Ronnie broke up with me."
"Yeah."
The two were silent. Lizzie looked up into the sky at the dark clouds looming forbiddingly overhead. "It looks like rain." She finally said.
And without warning, the heavens opened up and rain poured down in sheets. Lizzie shrieked and jumped up. Gordo just grinned. He stood up.
He grabbed Lizzie by the hands and swung her around.
"Gordo, what are you doing?" she asked, giggling. "We're going to get soaked!"
"Well, you said you'd never marry a guy who wouldn't play in the rain with you. Better start playing!" Gordo chuckled. "I like it when you laugh."
