The Trip of a Lifetime
A/N: AAH! Finally back from my writer's block! It wasn't exactly creative block, but more like "Time-to-deal-with-other-stuff block". Interesting, eh? Well, never fear, because I'm B-AAA-CK! Yay! This is one of my new ideas for the stories, where the trio and their parents go to Disneyland for a week! Sorry that it's so well-known, but it's the easiest place to describe for me, because I've been there about 12 or 13 times in my lifetime (we go there every year, but we went once when my mom was pregnant with me, so that counts!). OK, well, now I'll write!
Chapter 1: The Plans
"Lizzie, Matt, we have something to tell you," Jo McGuire told her two kids; her oldest, Lizzie, was 16, and her youngest, Matt, was 12.
"Wait, are you saying you're having a baby?" Matt said, alarmed. He would always worry that he would be replaced. Jo and her husband, Sam McGuire, glanced at each other, then burst out laughing.
"No! I was just going to tell you guys that we're going to Disneyland for spring break with Gordo and Miranda's families," Jo said, smiling at Lizzie. David Gordon (better known as "Gordo") and Miranda Sanchez were Lizzie's best friends. Lizzie's mom and Gordo's mom shared the same hospital room when Lizzie and Gordo were born, and Gordo was born about a week before Lizzie was. They met Miranda at preschool, they all got along, and the rest, as they say, is history.
"That's great, Mom," Lizzie said, a little uneasily. See, the thing is, the whole story isn't as nonchalant as that. Over the years, Gordo and Lizzie exchanged feelings for each other. Gordo liked Lizzie all throughout middle school, but Lizzie didn't notice that until their trip to Rome. Gordo and Lizzie kissed in Rome, and Lizzie first noticed her crush on him. But, Gordo got over it and suddenly became "cool", cool enough for plenty of girls to want to date him. Now Gordo considered him and Lizzie "just best friends, like always", while Lizzie still liked Gordo, a lot.
"Is there something wrong with this, Lizzie? I mean, Gordo and Miranda are your best friends," Sam spoke up. Lizzie shook her head and smiled at her parents, and raised her eyebrows at Matt. He was making out with himself, giving off the vibe that he knew that Lizzie was practically in love with Gordo. Lizzie rolled her eyes.
"No, this is totally great! I mean, a whole week with Miranda and Gordo! At Disneyland! I mean, we haven't been there since I was Porky's age," Lizzie exclaimed, motioning to Matt when she said "Porky".
"Lizzie! Stop making fun of your brother. The trip's in a week! Don't mess it up for yourself," Jo said. Matt smirked, and repeated that to Lizzie, who then smacked his head.
"Sorry, dearest Matthew, but you deserved that," Lizzie said. She then finished her dinner, excused herself, and went up to her room to call Miranda and Gordo. She called Gordo first, then there-way-ed Miranda in.
"Have you guys heard?" Lizzie said when they were all on the phone.
"Spring Break at Disneyland? Yeah, we've heard," Gordo said nonchalantly.
"How are you so, unexcited? This is gonna be great! Just the three of us, in Disneyland!" Miranda said, dreamily.
"First of all, it's DISNEYLAND! A whole bunch of screaming kids running around with Mickey Mouse ears and those huge hand things," Gordo said.
"And, Randa, we're not gonna be alone. Don't forget our parents. Ugh, and the weasel too. How fun," Lizzie pointed out.
"But, still! Just think about the fun parts! How cool will we look, sporting halters and flip flops in Anaheim, riding all the cool rides?!?! It's gonna be awesome!" Miranda exclaimed.
"She's got a great point, Gordo. It will be great. Just go with it," Lizzie said, herself beginning to dream about it.
"I'll try. . . but I gotta go. Still have Pre-Cal stuff to do," Gordo said. 'Well, at least some things haven't changed', Lizzie thought.
"OK, bye!" Lizzie and Miranda chirped. He clicked off, and Miranda stayed on with Lizzie.
"This will be great for you two!" Miranda exclaimed.
"What are you talking about?" Lizzie asked, obliviously.
"Oh, come ON, Liz! You know you want him!" Miranda said, rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, of course I do, but there's no chance he'll want me too. Period. Case closed. No questions asked," Lizzie said. Miranda knew about Lizzie's attraction to Gordo, but she also knew about his everlasting attraction to her.
"You never know, Liz. Wait, lemme say this: YOU'LL never know. But, I have my ways. Bye!" Miranda clicked off, letting Lizzie think about what she said.
E/N: Hey! I hope you like it! I think I like it as much as W.I.T.! Hehe, I love the way Miranda does that! Well, more is coming soon!
