LIZZIE, THE DIVA

CHAPTER 1: THE AD

Please take note: Characters are from the hit teen show "Lizzie McGuire". They are owned by Disney Corp. and is used here mainly for fanfic purposes. However, some places and characters are my own property. Chances are if you don't recognize the names, then I made them up. Anyways, this is my very first stab at writing any fanfic of some sort. I would appreciate if you'd be able to post your reviews. Thanks!

Lizzie McGuire, Miranda Sanchez and David Gordon (Gordo to the whole school) have been best friends for as long as they can remember. They go to the same junior high and have been through thick and thin. Everything one does the other two knows about, as they don't keep any secrets from each other.

However, Lizzie has always had one dream that the two didn't know: to make it big as a singer. She wanted to tell them, but was afraid that they'd laugh at her. In herself, she knew she was talented enough. She also knew that she was too shy, so introverted, that made it impossible for her to be one. But soon all that would change.

"What's up with all those cheerleaders?" Miranda said, rolling her eyes at Kate's group. The popular girls were smiling and talking excitedly at the same time. "They've been acting really giddy since first period."

"Maybe there's a sale at the mall or something," Lizzie replied, stuffing books in her locker. She only had a few minutes to spare before fifth period began.

Suddenly, a familiar voice boomed from their back: "Or maybe not."

The two girls spun around. Gordo, their bestest guy friend, was standing with one arm leaning over Miranda's locker, with a knowing grin on his face."What do you mean?" Lizzie said, her eyebrows meeting. "Do you know why they're all giddy?"

"Not that their over enthusiasm isn't something we see everyday, but I think I do know why they're very excited today." Gordo replied.

"Come on, Gordo!" Miranda pleaded. "We don't have all day!"

"Well, Kate asked me to pass Claire some paper --"

"What? Kate actually talked to you?" Lizzie said, with a hint of jealousy in her voice. Gordo and Miranda didn't seem to notice though.

"Yeah, she's actually very cute. The way her eyes sparkle when --"

"GORDO!" Lizzie and Miranda said in unison.

"Okay, okay.. It was some flyer about open auditions for 'Star For A Night'."

Miranda's face curled up and after a few seconds, she blurted out: "Oh! I get it. I saw that flyer too - "Star For A Night!" That's this is really overhyped show that everyone's talking about," she ended, rolling her eyes.

Lizzie was intrigued by the newfound information she got. "Star For A Night?" she asked.

"It's this show where young adolescents get to showcase their talent and be recognized for it, their official line says." Gordo explained. "But you know, that's all just press hype. I think that it's some sort of second rate show that won't even last two seasons," he said, laughing.

Miranda had to agree. "Yeah, it's got to be one of those lame Star Search ripoffs."

"Oh those pour souls." Gordo quipped. "And I thought cheerleading was enough."

The three friends laugh as they head for English class. But something was forming in Lizzie's mind – Star For A Night. Could this possibly be her chance?
