This isn't my first-ever fanfic, but it's the first I've ever finished. I'm just a huge fan of the show, and I love to write! I hope you enjoy!

**DISCLAIMER: I own none of the characters, save Lizzy Weir, or the show. The show belongs to the geniuses at Fresh TV and Disney Channel.**


"We've been over this a hundred times, Rory," I said, tired of the conversation. "Yoda would definitely beat Iron Man in a death match."

It was Friday and I was walking down the school hallway towards my locker with Rory in hot pursuit.

"You're so totally wrong, Ethan!" he retorted, a little too loud for my comfort. "Iron Man would blast him with his Arc Reactor powers and BLAM! No more Yoda is!"

Unfortunately, he tried to impersonate Yoda on the last part, just as the entire cheerleading squad walked by. They gave us the standard what-a-dweeb looks and moved on, laughing the whole way. As I watched them walk away, I just couldn't remember how Benny and I had been able to stand those skirts for an entire week. Speaking of which…

"Hey, have you heard from Benny yet?" I asked, gathering books out of my locker. "He texted me saying he'd be late today."

"Yeah, I got the same thing," Rory said. "Gee, I sure hope he's not sick. He was supposed to bring me the last season of Star Trek today."

Just then, my phone buzzed in my hand. It was a text from Benny:

On my way.

Got some1 u need 2 meet.

Confused, I showed the text to Rory.

"I wonder what that's about," he mused, pulling a red "popsicle" out of his backpack. You'd think I'd be used to all of this after hanging out with vampires for almost three months, but it was still all I could do to keep from gagging.

"I guess we'll find out soon enough," I said, pulling up the strap on my backpack. After saying bye to Rory, I walked on to Chemistry.

Benny walked in ten minutes after class started with, unbelievably, a girl right next to him. Our teacher opened his mouth to reprimand him.

"Ah, I have a note this time!" Benny announced, holding out the pink slip of paper with a triumphant smile.

"For once," our teacher grumbled. He threw away the note and turned his attention to the girl.

"Where were you?" I asked once he'd sat down beside me. "And who do I need to meet?"

Without a word, he pointed towards the girl, who was walking towards us. And I just about lost my cool.

She had chocolate brown hair that fell almost to her elbows, a cute little smile, and the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen in my life. She was about my age and about my height.

And she was smiling right at me.

"I know that look, E," I heard Benny say from somewhere behind me. "Don't even think about it."

"What, you already call dibs or something?" I joked. When I turned around, he had a disgusted, disturbed look on his face, and all he said was, "Ew."

This made no sense. A pretty, no, beautiful girl smiling at me, and Benny saying "Ew" about that same beautiful girl? Had I woken up in the Twilight Zone?

"You seriously don't remember her?" he asked incredulously. I shook my head, confused.

"Ethan," Benny began, "this is Lizzy Weir, my cousin."

My jaw dropped.

"It's been a long time, Ethan," Lizzy said, still smiling.
