A/N----My appologies for Mrs. Sanchez's name. At first, I thought it was Gabriella, but it's Daniella. Sorry for the flip-flopping, but I want it to be as accurate to canon as possible. I fixed it (and the formatting errors) in Chapter 1, but since some folks may have already read chapter 1 (prior to being fixed), I wanted to let you know that I have fixed Mrs. Sanchez's name, and yes, it'll be Daniella from here on out. Thanks for the kind reviews. Check out my other stories too! See http/lizzie.dan.info/ for the Lizzie McGuire timeline. It's a great help to maintain accuracy. Enjoy!

CHAPTER THREE

Daniella, Miranda, and Gordo arrive at the hospital. Shortly thereafter, Roberta Gordon joins them in the waiting room.

Roberta: Rushing in. David? Are you all right? She hugs her son.

Gordo: I'm fine, mom.

Roberta: Are you hurt? Do you need to see a doctor?

Gordo: Mom, stop. I'm fine.

Roberta: Have you heard anything?

Gordo: Not yet. Gets choked up. Mom, I've never seen anything like it. She flew up in the air and landed so hard!

Roberta: Oh, David, I'm so sorry.

She and Gordo join Mrs. Sanchez and Miranda. Gordo and Miranda sit and thumb through magazines.

Miranda: I hate waiting.

Gordo: Me, too.

A police officer approches the duo.

Officer: My name is Dan Jones. I'm working this case, and would like you to make a statement. Are you up to it now?

Miranda: Okay.

Gordo: Sure.

Officer Jones: Which one of you wants to go first?

Miranda: I guess I'll go.

Officer Jones and Miranda walk to a quieter part of the waiting room.

Officer Jones: State your full name for the record.

Miranda: Miranda Isabella Sanchez.

Officer Jones: Tell me what happened from the beginning.

Miranda: It was mom's day to drive me, Gordo and Lizzie to school...

Officer Jones: Gordo, you mean, David Gordon?

Miranda: Yes. Gordo's his nickname.

Officer Jones: I see. Continues writing in his notebook.

Miranda: Mom pulled up to the student drop off lot and the three of us get out of the car. Lizzie, I mean, Elizabeth, says something like, "I need to sign up for the e-zine advice column before Clair does. See ya in a few." She runs ahead. I guess she didn't see Mr. Escobar, because she didn't stop. Gordo yelled at her to look out, but it was too late. The next thing I saw was Mr. Escobar's car screeching and Lizzie flying in the air and landing with a thud. It was awful! Gordo and I ran over and tried to wake her up, but she didn't wake up. Mom called 9-1-1, and now we're here. I guess that's all.

Officer Jones: Thank you. Can you ask David Gordon to join me?

Miranda: Walks back to her previous seat. Your turn.

Gordo joins Officer Jones.

Officer Jones: David, tell me, in your own words what happened, starting with your full name for the record.

Gordo: David Zephyr Gordon...
