Disclaimer: I do not own Lizzie McGuire, though I do own the unknown
characters I have introduced you to.
A/N: I know the first chapter was a little slow, but I promise, it'll get better. Please don't loose hope! [haha]
Summary: It's been eleven years since the Hillridge HIGH clan graduated. Now they are reunited for a very special occasion, Mr. Dig's wedding! When the group are brought back together, what will be the same? What will be different? And will they leave the same as they came, or will they be changed forever? Please r/r!
Chapter Two: He, She, and Her
He fidgeted in his seat. The sun blazed on his black suit, making it inevitable, he was going to sweat. Not just from the heat, but from nerves.
Ah, yes. Though it was Mr. Dig's wedding, he had something more important on his mind. Her. He hadn't seen her since graduation. Would she show up? He hoped she would, and then he hoped she wouldn't.
He looked around. There were no familiar faces. Then he realized he was on the wrong side. It was obvious he was in the bride's rows of seats. He got up, moving across the row, into the aisle, and then back into another row and sat himself down.
"Gordo?" A man asked.
He turned at the sound of his childhood nickname. The man was wearing a black suit with a pale shirt underneath. "Tudgeman?"
The man laughed. "Oh boy, Gordo! Wow, you look exactly the same!" David did not know whether to be insulted or not.
"Actually I like to go by David now," he explained. "But, um.. well, you look exactly the same, too." And did he ever. At that moment, though, a woman tapped on David's shoulder and asked if she could sit down. David turned to see a red-headed, slightly large woman. "Uh, yes," he said.
"Thanks," she said and smiled. He looked at her a moment and then looked at Larry. Neither looked towards one another, and David wasn't sure if he wanted to make the risk of establishing a tie.
***FLASHBACK***
"What did you do, Tudgeman?" Gordo asked, somewhat sympathetically.
"I, I." Larry could barely talk. Gordo could tell he was fighting back tears. "I told Veruca I love her."
"Wow, Tudge, that's great. but wait, what's wrong?" Gordo asked.
"She..." he spoke slowly. "She broke up with me. And I don't understand. How can someone break up with someone after they had just told them that they love them?"
Gordo shook his head. "I don't know."
A tear finally fell from Larry's face, which then lead to a whole flood of tears.
***END FLASHBACK***
David shook his head as he came out of his daze. That had been two months before graduation. David looked to his left at Veruca. She took a quick glance at him, then looked away, but then her eyes quickly shot back at him.
"David Gordon?" She asked.
"Uh, yeah," David said.
"Wow! How are you?" she asked.
"I'm good, and you?" David didn't want to be too loud, but it didn't matter. Larry had already looked over.
"Veruca?" Larry said.
"Larry." Veruca said, not moving her eyes from his.
"I wanted to call you," Larry said.
"It's good you didn't," she replied.
Larry looked hurt. But he picked himself back up. "Will. will you sit next to me? I'd love to talk to you again."
Veruca smiled. "Yes, yes. Ofcourse." Both looked at David. He rolled his eyes and then swapped places with Veruca.
David took his mind off Larry & Veruca and set his mind on finding her. He searched through the crowd, and found a few familiar faces, though he couldn't quite put a name to a couple of them.
His eyes drifted to the door, and there she was. She looked amazing. Almost better than ever. Her blonde hair was up in a tight bun with a few strands in her face. She had a blue strapless dress on with a silver necklace & bracelet. But then his eyes drifted to her hand. A little girl was holding it. But there was another detail David wished he hadn't noticed. Two rings. One a diamond, another just a plain band. David's stomach turned.
And then he saw her look over at a man, who had a little boy clutching his hand and a little girl in his arms. She put her arm through his (the one of which his hand was clutching the small boy's) and they waded through the crowd together.
She was married. Elizabeth Brooke McGuire was married. And a mother. And no doubt happy.
And she hadn't even told her former best friend.
[a/n: Why didn't Gordo know about Lizzie's marriage? Will sparks once again fly between Larry & Veruca? Where's the rest of the gain? And WHO IN THE WORLD is Lizzie's husband? Find out soon!]
