Two Lizzies, Another Path 2: A Lizzie McGuire Fanfiction Story
Chapter 11: Andie, Miranda, & Gordo's Adventure
At the hotel Cambini...
Andie, Gordo, and Miranda are sitting around the photos of close ups of rubber masks and zoom outs on Andie's bed.
Andie has her rubber mask off.
It's eight days since Lizzie and Andie snuck out together to see Paolo.
Andie, Gordo, and Miranda are going through pieces of lined paper with phone numbers and addresses, some printed maps of Italy, and photos.
Andie sighs hard.
One by one... She's dropping some of the photos and pieces of lined papers from her hands onto the bed.
Gordo mutters lowly, "impossible. Heavy sigh. A week of turning through these photos and maps, and I still got nothing!"
Andie says, "ugh! I know exactly how you feel."
Gordo very faintly smirks to her.
Andie briefly very faintly smiles back.
She lets all the photos and pieces of lined paper drop from her hands.
Miranda sighs hard.
She looks hard at one of the district maps.
She arranges all the photos to go around a certain red dot on the map.
Then... She looks stunned.
With a faint smile... Miranda tells them, "guys...I've just realized what they all have in common. Look."
Andie and Gordo instantly look up.
Gordo can't help but chuckle a little.
He murmurs, "amazing. It's like some people say: It's always the last place you look. Good catch, Miranda."
With a smile... Miranda comments, "thanks. Very faint chuckle. I get to do something you didn't. I should take a picture of this."
Gordo gives her a annoyed look.
He throws one of the pillows at her.
It harmlessly hits Miranda in the side.
Miranda and Gordo lightly chuckle.
Andie just faintly sighs.
With a faint smile... Andie starts to ask, "why? What...?"
She's moving some of the photos off that map to get a better look around the dot on it.
Then... She blushes a little in embarrassment.
Andie realizes, "ohh shoot."
All the photos she's taken of people wearing rubber face masks?
They were all mostly taken not far from the town of Fiumicino.
And, the only two government buildings or historical landmarks Miranda and Andie haven't called to check for anyone that matches the description of the random people? The top two commercial airports in Italy.
The dot on the map...is for the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: The same airport the class got off at before going to the hotel.
Gordo puts a sympathetic hand on Andie's.
He tries to assure, "don't be so hard on yourself Andie. We had to narrow it down a lot before any of us could make heads or tails of it."
Andie very faintly smiles.
She says, "thanks Gordo."
She puts sympathetic hands over his.
Miranda and Gordo also faintly smile.
Brief images of Lizzie sneaking out at night with Paolo go by in all three of their heads.
Almost at the same time... Gordo and Andie wonder, "great. So...how do we get past security?"
Soon... Kate comes out of the shower in a very light blue bathrobe.
She looks grumpy.
Then... Miranda gulps nervously.
She shrinks back some.
Andie checks in concern, "Miranda? Are you okay?"
Gordo adds, "yeah. What's up? You seemed okay a second before."
Miranda gulps nervously again.
She says, "I know how we can get past airport security and track the criminals in the same go. But...you won't like it. I don't even think I like it."
Andie gulps nervously.
Gordo looks wide eyed in shock.
Gordo starts to say, "wait. You...you can't mean...!"
Miranda remarks, "I am. But, I don't see you coming up with anything right now. So, don't tell me it's going to turn into Cry Me a River."
Gordo sighs into his hand.
Gordo comments, "that's not even how that song is supposed to work. No one is cheating on...!"
Miranda just slightly sighs.
She gets up from the bed.
And... She walks over to Kate.
With a slightly glare... Kate asks, "okay. You three still mostly hate me. So, why in the name of God should I help you sneak out?"
Miranda glares back.
She crosses her arms.
Andie whispers to Gordo, "relax Gordo. Miranda is trying to tell you she doesn't want to leave us heartbroken over what she's doing. Very faint chuckle. Yes: In a very confusing way. But, it's the thought that matters."
Gordo lightly says, "thanks Andie. Very faint chuckle. I'm not actually mad at Miranda. But, it still hurts my head."
Andie faintly grins.
She murmurs softly, "ohh. I know Gordo. But, I can help with that...in your bathroom."
They both faintly chuckle.
Meanwhile... Miranda and Kate are just silently glaring at each other.
Then... Miranda implies, "because it's one last chance to lead on guys that can't possibly go out with you before you're no longer so popular."
Kate twistedly smiles wide.
Without a second thought... She goes, "all right Miranda. I already like it. When do we go to the airport?"
Miranda sarcastically mutters, "great."
At the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport...
After taking in two sights of Roman historical landmarks on the trip for the day... Gordo and Miranda got out their finished fake I.D.
Kate walks in first, carrying the fake I.D. and her purse with her.
She wears sunglasses and dark blueberry lipstick.
She turns many heads of airport security guys as she walks by.
Kate goes up to one of the not so busy security checkpoints.
She asks, "hey, cute security guy? Would you be so kind as to help me look for my lost luggage?"
She's leaning a little against the back of the security checkpoint's luggage screening machine. She's kind of slowly showing off her legs.
One of the airport security guys sighs into his hand.
He says, "you two handle this."
The other two airport security guys go over to Kate.
The second airport security guy nervously says, "miss, please don't do that. It's a screening machine."
Kate goes, "ohh. I'm terribly sorry officer. I'll move."
She starts to stand straight up.
But, she fake swoons over the other way.
The two airport security guys help her back to her feet.
Meanwhile... Gordo and Andie fast walk over from behind.
They lightly snap off the two airport security guys's I.D s.
The third airport security guy asks, "are you okay, miss...?"
The second airport security guy borrows Kate's I.D.
With a shyish grin... Kate hands it over.
The second airport security guy reads off, "...Ashley Brillan."
He smiles wide at the fake businesswoman credentials.
Kate says, "yeah. I am now. Thank you."
She asks the second airport security guy, "so...do you know where a purse is that looks like mine? My sister would be so heartbroken to lose it."
The second airport security guy says, "sorry. This is not really in our jurisdiction, miss. I'm going to have to escort you out so we can do our jobs. But, I'll be sure to let the Lost and Found know what to look for."
Kate just says, "aw. Thank you, kind officer."
The second airport security guy escorts her out, leading the way.
The third airport security guy just shakes his head.
The third security guy goes back to the first security guy to help with more flight passengers coming in.
Meanwhile...
Andie's finished book reports are on Lizzie's bed: Ready to turn in.
Lizzie very faintly smiles to herself.
She's just finished looking through it.
She sighs in a relaxed manner.
The picture cuts over to Animated Lizzie.
Animated Lizzie is typing on a animated computer.
With a smile... Animated Lizzie types out, "note to self: Remember to write Andie a big thank you note and buy her anything she wants. But, how do you get presents for a girl who seems to have everything?"
Animated Lizzie lightly laughs.
She concludes, "oh well. Me, Miranda, and Gordo can at least split a big cookie or go for gelato to celebrate. That's just as good."
The picture cuts back over to Lizzie.
She suddenly realizes she's alone.
Lizzie goes from door to door, knocking.
She whispers, "Gordo? Miranda? Andie?"
Doors open. But, there's no whispers back.
Lizzie keeps ducking behind swung open doors.
Annoyed students in her class look out. But, they don't see her.
They just go back inside.
After several minutes of this... Lizzie sighs in frustration.
Finally... She decides to knock on Ethan's and Gordo's door.
Ethan answers the door.
He kind of loudly goes, "Lizzie! Totally cool new looks!"
Lizzie blushes a little.
She very nervously chuckles.
She says, "thank you Ethan. But...I got to go now. Sorry."
Ethan looks confused.
He says, "but you just got here."
Lizzie can already hear Miss Ungermeyer's footsteps.
Lizzie fast walks back to her room.
Just before Miss Ungermeyer gets upstairs... Lizzie closes the door.
And... Lizzie inhales and exhales sharply as she lies down on her bed.
Ten minutes later...
Back at the airport... Gordo and Andie slip the security I.D s down both card key readers to a wooden looking metal door.
The door unlocks.
Miranda kind of quickly closes the door behind all three of them.
A airport security team just misses them.
A airport security team and several tech guys are in the security room.
A airport security guy calls out, "hold it right...!"
Andie pulls out her CD player.
She presses play.
Really loud rock music plays.
Miranda, Gordo, airport security, and the tech guys cover their ears.
The airport security team reactively drops their light gun pointers.
Andie punches down most of the security team with her free hand.
Then, she presses stop on her CD player.
Miranda punches down two more security guys before they can react.
Miranda apologizes to them, "I'm sorry! But, we're in a hurry to stop this crazy spy plot from getting even more crazy."
Gordo rams a light gun pointer hard into a computer monitor.
It smashes in in broken glass.
The sparks temporarily blind one of the security guys.
Just as quickly... Andie side kicks him down.
Gordo calls out, "non siamo mai mai qui! Partire!
The tech guys run out the door in a panic.
Andie starts to quickly go through security tapes from the storage room next door. Gordo starts to quickly cycle through the security feeds.
Miranda can hear footsteps from outside the room.
Miranda nervously goes, "they're coming here. They're coming in any minute! There's no way we can...!"
Gordo starts to assure, "Miranda: They're just footsteps! It's the louder ones we have to...watch out for."
He then looks stunned at the security screen.
Andie puts down one of the security tapes she was about to put in into one of the VCRs under the security stations.
She asks in concern, "Gordo? What's...wrong?"
She and Miranda go over to look at what Gordo is seeing.
As Gordo cycles through the security feeds... More and more of the nine imposters in rubber masks from the photos from earlier appear.
They're all heading after the nearest rich Italian couple they can see.
The couple has white business suits. The man has grayish black medium hair, and the woman has slightly curly very dark brown long hair.
And... The imposters are slowly taking out black light gun pointers.
Miranda gasps. Andie gulps very nervously.
They both get teary eyed.
Miranda is quick to conclude, "we're too late."
Gordo and Andie sigh heavily.
Then... Gordo suddenly faintly smiles.
Gordo confidently says, "no. No, we're not!"
Over the security feeds... The rich couple is heading down a escalator.
The imposters are closing in from behind the bottom of the escalator.
Gordo sees a fire alarm in a glass case. A fire extinguisher is by it.
Gordo goes over to the fire alarm.
He smashes in the glass case by ramming in a light gun pointer.
He calls out, "oh. And, just to warn you guys: I'd cover my ears!"
Then... He pulls the fire alarm.
Miranda, Andie, and Gordo cover their ears.
And, over the security feeds... The fire sprinklers go off.
The fire alarm is blaring.
Most everyone starts to run in a panic from the gang of imposters.
But, before they can fire... They groan hard, doubling over.
They're reactively covering their ears and squinting. But, they cover their ears a second too late.
Most of their light gun pointers fall to the floor.
Some of the imposters slip and slide down to the floor with a thud from all the water from the water sprinklers.
The rich couple gets away. So does most everyone in the airport.
They're soaking wet from the sprinklers and covering their ears. But, none of them are unconscious.
Two airport security teams get to the imposters.
Most of the security guys faintly laugh to themselves.
Arresting the imposters with rubber masks just got a lot easier.
Gordo flips the fire alarm switch back down.
The water sprinklers and fire alarm stop.
Miranda, Gordo, and Andie smile wide.
Miranda says, "Gordo! That was...that was amazing!"
She puts out her arms to the side, toward the security monitors.
Andie says, "yeah Gordo! That was really good last minute thinking."
She wraps herself around Gordo.
Their faces are inches away.
With a nervous faint chuckle... Gordo says, "thanks. But...but, I can't take all the credit. We all came up with this plan together."
Andie and Gordo are about to kiss.
But... Miranda calls out, "um, guys?! We're dead. We are so dead!"
At the same time... Andie and Gordo call out, "what?!"
They move back over to the security monitor Miranda is looking at.
Andie blushes while clenching her teeth together.
Miranda looks very nervous. Gordo looks very shocked.
On the monitor... Kate is getting dragged away by a guy in all black.
He wears sunglasses and has short dark brown hair.
The second security guy from earlier is on his side on the ground.
He's groaning hard.
Kate struggles to get free. But, she can't.
In the struggle...her cell phone smashes on the ground.
The guy drags her into the back of a dark brown Mercedes Benz car.
Gordo cringes.
He says, "ooh. That's bad. That's...that's really bad."
Andie and Miranda gulp very nervously.
