(I don't own Lizzie McGuire and I have no association with it.)
That night after supper Lizzie went to talk to her mom, who was in the kitchen making lunches for the next day.
"Mom, I have a problem."
*And I'm going to my mother, why?(animated Lizzie hits herself in the head)*
"Oh, sure, honey, what is it?"
"Well, it's about me and Gordo."
"Don't tell me you guys are having relational problems already?"
"No No, nothing like that. It's Miranda."
"She's not jealous?"
"NO! But, she does feel like a third wheel around us now and I don't want her to feel that way."
"Why do you think she feels that way?"
"I guess because she thinks since we're being flirty and mushy that we're excluding her."
"Well, there's a simple solution to that." she said.
"What's that?"
"Don't get mushy in front of her."
*Why didn't I think of that?*
"Well, that's a good idea, but how am I gonna get her to stop being mad at me?"
"Well." Jo said. "I suggest that you and Gordo go and talk to her and tell her that you are sorry first off for the way you've acted around her and that you will not get that way anymore, because you care about her."
"What if she doesn't accept our apology?"
"She's your best friend. She'll give you another chance. Real friends always forgive."
*It's worth a shot(animated Lizzie shots at a bullseye and misses completely)*
