Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie Mcguire or anthing Disney. I'm just someone that loves Lizzie Mcguire so much that she decided to write a fan fic about it, okay? I'm so sorry that my story looks like it has know paragraphs. I don't know what is wrong with computer. I hop you can kinda read it. ************************************************************* When she finally got home it was almost 11oclock. "Miranda?" Lizzie called, "Are you here?" Miranda didn't answer. Lizzie looked in the Kitchen for Miranda but she only found a note.
Lizzie, I went to my aunt's house. I'll come over tomorrow. C ya Miranda

Well, I don't need Miranda Lizzie thought I'll just watch the news then go to bed. So Lizzie went into the living room and turned on the TV. The first thing she saw was her mother's and Matt's faces glaring at her. " Good evening, This Iva gotdanewz with your nightly news broadcast. On Monday, this week, two of our very own local citizens were killed when driving on interstate 9. The deadly collision was cased by the driver being distracted and running into a s." Lizzie had had enough. She turned of the TV and sat on the coach looking blankly into space She looked at a book on the bookshelf. The little engine that could. It had been matt's favorite book when he was little. Now he would never be able to read it again. Suddenly the phone rang. Lizzie didn't feel like answering it right now. She let the answering machine get it. " Lizzie, this is Gordo. Pleas pick up the phone if your there. I want to talk to you!" Reluctantly, Lizzie got up of the coach and answered the phone. L: what do you want Gordo? G": I was just calling to see if you were doing all right. L (sarcastically); I don't know two days ago my mom and my brother died, my best friend lives in Mexico. I'm talking to my little brother's best friend for advice. COULDNT BE BETTER G: Lizzie, you weren't the only one who. Cared about your mom and Matt. Matt was the little brother I never had. And look at your father imagine what he must feel like. Lizzie hadn't really though about her dad that much at all over the past few of days. He must feel awful. L: I'm sorry, Gordo I shouldn't be being mean to you. You didn't do anything. G: I understand Lizzie. If my mom died well, maybe not my mom. I hardly know my mom. If you died, Lizzie I don't know what I'd do. You're probably the only person that I know that really knows me. I hardly ever even talk to my parents and all my grand parents died before I was born and both my parents were only children. Lizzie was really quite for a long time. She had never really though about how much Gordo really liked her. Gordo didn't have that many friends and he really hardly ever saw his parents. L: I shouldn't be so mean to you Gordo, Miranda and I never really appreciate you like we should. So, do you want to go somewhere with me and Miranda tomorrow? G: would it involve shopping? L: Not unless you want to go shopping! G: Why would I want to go shopping? Any ways I'll see ya tomorrow. Good night Lizzie.

"Lizzie time to get up!!!!" Lizzie opened her eyes and looked at her alarm clock. It said that it was 6 o clocks in the morning. ." Just five more minuets, Mom" Lizzie mumbled. " Liz first of all I'm not your mom and second of all you really need to get up NOW" yelled Miranda's voice. Gordo's downstairs I think we're going to go hiking. If that's okay with you of coarse." How can you guys get up soooooooo early," Lizzie said with a huge yawn. " It's called coffee. No let's move move move!" Lizzie got dressed and brushed her teeth. Lizzie and Miranda went down stairs. Gordo was sitting on the coach watching some show on cartoon network. " Hi, Lizzie." Gordo said without even looking up. Lizzie picked up the remote from that coffee table beside that coach and turned of the TV. " Hey, I liked that part!!!" " Just because your obsessed with Saturday morning cartoons it doesn't mean you have to watch them the whole day on MY TV" " Oh, come on Lizzie you have satellite!" Lizzie and Gordo soon struck up a conversation about the whole debate about cable verses satellite. Miranda just sat and listened politely. " Um, Lizzie, I kinda need to talk to you." Said Miranda. Lizzie just waved her off. " Lizzie do you have any idea who is going to drive up to the park so we can hike?" Gordo asked. " Oh, My mom will. Well, ..............well, actualy I guess my mom probably won't." Lizzie chocked. She burst into tears. " I could always count on my mom to do stuff like that for me," Lizzie sobbed. " Maybe you could ask you dad," Miranda said, obviously trying to help. " That was so not the right thing to say, Miranda," Lizzie shrieked, "Get out of my house. NOW!!!!!!!!!!" " And you know what? I'm probably never going to come back to your house. My parents are making me stay in Mexico. And even if I had a choice now I would probably choose Mexico!!!" Miranda stormed out of Lizzie's house. " Why did I do that?" Lizzie said to her self, " Now I lost a mom a brother and my best friend since Kindergarten." " You still have me," said Gordo. Lizzie glared at Gordo and said, " I know Gordo but I just told my best friend that I never want to see her again. I'm such a horrible person. She's probably half way to the airport now." " Lizzie you're not a horrible person. Miranda will get over it. So, do you still want to go hiking?" " We still need someone to drive us there," Lizzie said, " I guessed I could ask my dad." Lizzie went upstairs to her father's study. She knocked on the door. There was no response. Lizzie slowly opened the door and saw her dad sitting at his desk with his head in his hands. He was staring at a picture of the Mcguire's that had been taken about 2 year's ago. Lizzie would have been going into seventh grade in a few days. All of them were smiling; they didn't know what was going to happen to them in just a few years time. Lizzie slowly backed out of the room and slowly shut the door. She had tear's glistening in her eyes. " I don't think we should ask my dad to drive us," She said quietly to Gordo. Gordo and Lizzie finally just decided to take a cab.

Gordo always hated riding in cabs. They smelled like a combination of all the bad smells imaginable. And to think that you had to pay to ride in one of them. Gordo felt really sorry for Lizzie but she really didn't treat Miranda fairly. He really didn't see what Miranda had said that had made Lizzie so mad. Her mom and brother died. She has an excuse Gordo thought but on the other hand she was kind of mean to me, and I really didn't so anything to her. Why do I like her so much anyways? Before Gordo knew it, they were there " that will be 30 bucks a piece unless you want to pay for your little girlfriends share on top of yours, dude," the cab driver said. " We'll pay for our own shares, thank you very much," Lizzie said promptly. They paid and Lizzie said, " Why does everyone think that I'm your girlfriend? I'm like ten feet taller than you." Gordo just shrugged. He kinda liked it that people always though that He and Lizzie were going out. They picked out a hiking trail that didn't look that hard and they set of.

Lizzie always had loved hiking. Her parents had taken her even when she was very little. It was always very peaceful when you were out in the woods. Lizzie and Gordo came to a small creek at the bottom of a hill. " Let's sit down", Lizzie said, " I'm kinda tired." So they sat on the bridge and dangled their feet in the water and talked about anything they could think of that didn't involve Lizzie's mom or Matt. When ever they got close to the subject ether Lizzie or Gordo hastily changed the subject. " So, Liz, what did you do for the week that I was in Rome and Miranda was in Mexico?" Gordo asked. " Not much just sat around and felt lonely." Lizzie said. There was a long moment of silence. Finally, Gordo said, " Nether of us can avoid it any longer, we need to talk about what happened in Rome." " What part of what happened in Rome?" Lizzie asked. I think we can all agree that that qualifies as the stupidest question of the year. Gordo was just about to answer when Lizzie's cell phone rang. " Hold that though," Lizzie said as she answered her cell phone. S: ELIZABETH ANN MCGUIRE WERE IN THE NAME ON FOOTBALL ARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
