Lizzie: (Turns around to talk to Gordo and Miranda) Oh, hey guys. What's up?

Miranda: Well, Ethan looks so cute today! I mean he looks cute everyday, but today...wow! (Smiles)

Lizzie: (Smiles) Totally!

Gordo: (Bored face) Enough about Ethan, I've been hearing how cute he is every single day! Can't you guys talk about something else for once?

Lizzie: Sorry Gordo, it's just that he is so cute!! Ah!

Gordo: There you go again with the cute stuff.

Miranda: Hey, we can't help it. We're girls!

Lizzie: Yea! Well Gordo, for your information, I do have something to talk about that's not about Ethan the cutie! (Grins)

Miranda: Really what is it?

Gordo: Go on...

Lizzie: Well, this morning at home, my Dad was all worried and disappointed about a promotion his boss is going to give to one of his employees. He thinks that, well he says he knows that he won't get it. I kind of feel bad for him.

Miranda: (With a confused face) I have no idea.

Gordo: Lizzie, when is he going to find out if he got it or not?

Lizzie: Today. When I get home, he'll already find out.

Gordo: Do you want him to get it?

Lizzie: Well, yea! He was waiting for this for quite a while now Gordo.

Miranda: Let's hope he gets it.

(The school bell rings)

Lizzie: Oh, we better be going to class. (Closes locker)

Gordo, Miranda, and Lizzie: (Walks to class)

Lizzie: (Goes to living room. Sees her Dad sitting on the couch next to Matt and her Mom. Sits next to her Mom) So, um, did you..

Sam: I'm just about to tell everyone. I got the promotion! (Saying with a disappointed face)

Jo: Congratulations hunny! (Smiles)

Lizzie: Wow, cool Dad!

Matt: Yea! (Whispers to himself) Hello Playstation 2 and X box! Your daddy's here! He he...

Lizzie: Um, Dad...I thought you wanted this. Why are you looking so, um...

Matt: Dull! (Saying with a confused face)

Lizzie: (Rolls eyes)

Jo: Sam...what's wrong?

Sam: (Sigh) We have to...

Lizzie: What Dad?

Sam: (Sigh) (Closes eyes) We have to move to Florida! (Opens eyes then close them again)

Matt and Lizzie: What!

Jo: Really?

Matt: What!! Why!

Sam: Well I thought everyone wanted me to get this promotion! It takes place in Florida! (Opens eyes)

Matt: Dad! Lanny needs me! We're a team!

Lizzie: Dad! What about Gordo and Miranda! I can't just abandon them! Mom!!

Jo: Lizzie, Matt. Calm down. We're going to settle this. Now, Sam, do you really want to go to Florida? What about your kids?

Sam: I don't want to go to Florida. I want to stay here. Maybe Florida won't be that bad. Kids, I know this is hard for both of you. Please, let's give this promotion a chance. I'm sorry.

Matt: (Leaves living room and heads upstairs)

Jo: Matt

Sam: This is awful.

Lizzie: Dad, um I uh kind of understand. But I'm really going to miss it here. I'm going to miss Gordo and Miranda even more. Since, well you really want this, I'll uh give it a shot. But it's going to be quite hard for me to get use to Florida. (Saying with a sad face)

Sam: Lizzie you don't have to say that.

Lizzie: No, it's OK. I'm uh going to do my homework now. (Leaves living room. Goes upstairs to room)
