(I do not own Lizzie McGuire or any of the characters. Nor do I own bananas
shaped like apples.)
That night in Lizzie's kitchen, she was trying to do homework, but her mind was elsewhere. Matt walked in with a handful of soap suds. "Hey, tuna breath."
"Matt, go away!"
"Hey, how come you were crying on the phone last night?"
"None of your business!" she snapped as she watched him put the suds in the sink.
"I heard you talking about Gordo. Did he finally wise up and dump you?"
Lizzie didn't want to talk to her little brother about this, but he wouldn't make a big deal out of it, because he probably couldn't care less and she had to talk to someone. *Why does it have to be Matt I spill my guts to?(animated Lizzie knocks over a bucket that says 'guts')*
"Well, I'll tell you and then you'll hopefully stop bugging me about it." she took a deep breath and started to talk "Gordo kissed another girl."
"EEEEEWW!" Matt was quite disgusted at the mention of anybody kissing anybody.
"Exactly what I was thinking. But, ya see, I don't want to break up with him, butI might have to if I can't trust him."
"Did you talk to him about it?"
"Well, no. Why should I?"
"Because maybe there's an explanation. I don't think he'd kiss anyone else. He seems to care about you more than his grades."
"Yeah well not anymore apparently."
"Listen to me, Lizzie. Here's my advice:"
*Matt giving me advice?! I ain't takin' em! (a whole lot of presents get handed to animated Lizzie.)*
"Now, I think if you talk to him, he may just surprise you." he got some meat and a can of whipped cream out of the refrigerator. "See this bologna?"
"Um, yeah." she was very confused at this point.
"Do you see this whipped cream?"
"What's your point?!"
"What do these things have in common?"
"Absolutely nothing."
"That's what you think when you first see them. But, think about it: they're both edible, they both need to be kept in the refrigerator and they're both delicious. You and Gordo are like bolgna and whipped cream. You see them as different and having no connection, but really they are very much alike and always sit right next to each other tin the frige. You and Gordo appear different on the outside, but are really exactly alike."
"What does that have to do with this?"
"You would never cheat on him, right?"
"Right."
"Well, since you're alike relationally, he would never cheat on you."
*Hey my dumb kid brother has a point. (the rain over animated Lizzie's head, stops.)
"I guess that makes sense, but what if I would even though I don't think I would?"
"Well, then you have to ask yourself that."
Matt leaves the room, Leaving Lizzie a bit more happy than she had been all day.
