(I do not own Lizzie McGuire or any of the characters. I don't own a pink Zebra that eats broccoli either.)

That night Lizzie and Miranda were on the phone and Miranda was getting angrier and angrier at Gordo. "Listen, I'm gonna go over there and throw him down the stairs!" Miranda yelled.

"Miranda, don't get mad. I mean, what if he's innocent?"

"Do you call kissing someone when you have a girlfriend innocent?"

"No, but how do we know there isn't an explanation?" Lizzie tried to make excuses, but she wasn't even convincing herself.

*Why not just say it? Gordo is a lousy, rotten cheater! (a cheetah comes by and growls at animated Lizzie.)*

"Can you think of one?" Miranda asked, frustrated.

"Well……..no actually." she sounded more disappointed than ever before. "OH My Gosh! Gordo's cheating on me!" she started to cry.

"Don't worry, Lizzie. I'll talk to him and set him straight." Miranda said.

"No, don't. If I can't trust him then I guess I can't be with him anymore and it doesn't matter what any of us do, I can't trust him after this."

"I guess you're right. But, what if he apologizes and says how much he's sorry and that he'll never do it again." She was trying to find any little particle of anything to keep them together, because if they had a messy breakup, they'd never be friends again and that special friendship between the three of them would be crushed forever. Or at least that's the way Miranda was figuring it.

"How can I believe that? If he'll see someone else, he'll easily lie to me."

"I guess that's true."

"I know it's true." she started to cry even harder and said "this relationship is probably over."
