Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie Mcguire. I wish I owned Gordo, because he's so cute... moving right along. I don't.
I got inspiration for this story while watching Flash Forward, but it's my plot. The poem that Gordo writes is
mine, but it's really bad. I guess Gordo's not a poet. Well, enjoy. And please, please, please reveiw!!! And be kind, I usually write So Weird stories...
" This summer is going to be so great!" Lizzie said, as they walked out of the school.
" I know. I can't believe out parents actually agreed to let us go camping all by ourselves." Miranda said.
" Yeah. But it's not like we have total freedom though. I mean we have to take Matt and Lanny." Lizzie said. " But still, we're in charge. Sorry, Gordo, but you'll have to share a tent with Matt and Lanny, unless you have one of your own.."
" Actually I wasn't planning on sleeping in a tent. I figure I'll just sleep on the ground or something." Gordo said. " Besides, that Lanny kid kinda creeps me out."
" I know." Lizzie said.
" Mom, we're thirteen years old. You can trust us." Lizzie assured her mom.
" Ok, well, here is a cell phone, first aid kit and some food just in case." Jo said handing Lizzie a huge bag.
" Ok. Bye. Matt, Lanny, come on." Lizzie waved as her, Matt and Lanny walked to Gordo's house.
Lizzie knocked on the door and Mrs. Gordon answered the door.
" Lizzie, come on in. Gordo's upstairs in his room. You can go ahead up." Mrs. Gordon said.
Lizzie, Matt and Lanny walked to Gordo's room.
" Hey, Gordo. Ready?" Lizzie asked.
" I've been ready for the past three weeks.. But yeah. Let's go." Gordo said.
They left Gordo's house and made their way to Miranda's.
Matt and Lanny walked a little behind Lizzie and Gordo.
" I agree Lanny. Lizzie and Gordo do make a good couple." Matt said.
Lizzie stopped abruptly nearly causing Matt and Lanny to run over her.
Gordo, who hadn't hard Matt's comment stopped too. " You ok, Lizzie?"
" Fine, I just, um, my bags are just getting a bit heavy, that's all." Lizzie lied.
" Here, I'll help you carry something." Gordo took one of her bags.
" You don't have to.." Lizzie started.
" That's ok. I don't mind." Gordo said. " Besides, we're here."
Miranda came out of the house with her parents, who were going to drive them to the campgrounds.
" Hey guys. I thought you decided not to show." Miranda said.
That night, Lizzie couldn't sleep so she left the tent. She saw Gordo sitting on a log looking at the sky.
" Penny for your thoughts?" Lizzie asked sitting next to him.
Gordo jumped a bit. " I thought you were asleep."
" I woke up." Lizzie smiled.
" Oh." Gordo said. Lizzie shivered. " You cold?"
" A little." Lizzie answered.
Gordo wrapped a blanket around them. " Better?"
" Much." Lizzie blushed a little.
Miranda who was watching from the tent looked over and saw Matt and Lanny watching. She motioned them to be quiet and come to her tent. They snuck over quietly.
" I think we should use this week to play matchmaker." Miranda whispered.
Matt nodded slowly. " I'm in."
Lanny smiled and nodded.
" Good. Let Operatin Cupid begin." Miranda smiled.
" This week is going o be so much fun." Lizzie whispered laying her head on Lizzie's shoulder.
" Yeah. You know I was reading some stuff about camping.." Gordo started rambling on about camping. " So what do you think?" Lizzie remained silent. " Lizzie?"
He looked down and saw Lizzie asleep on his shoulder. He thought to himself, ' I can think of worse things.'
The next morning, Lizzie woke up and moved her head around. ' Geez, my neck is so sore.' She looked over at Gordo. ' God, he must think that I think he's boring. I fell asleep in the middle of his story. Well, maybe he didn't notice. I'll just pretend I heard every word. What was he talking about again? Oh, right camping.'
Gordo woke up as Lizzie stood up. " Morning."
" Sorry, didn't mean to wake you up." Lizzie whispered.
" That's ok." Gordo said, stretching out his legs.
" I was thinking about what you said last night, you know about camping.." Lizzie started.
" Uh, huh. It's amazing how you can remember something that happened while you were asleep." Gordo said smiling.
Lizzie blushed. " I was hoping you hadn't noticed."
" Hey, Lizzie I woke up in the middle of the night and you weren't there.." Miranda said coming out of the tent.
" Yeah, I fell asleep out here." Lizzie said.
" Oh." Miranda said smiling.
" I'm gonna go.. check on Matt and Lanny.." Gordo said rushing towards the tent.
" What?" Lizzie asked Miranda who was smiling at her.
" You like Gordo." Miranda said.
" Do not." Lizzie blushed.
" If you say so." Miranda said.
" What's that supposed to mean?" Lizzie asked.
" Well, I just know... Hey Matt, Lanny, Gordo." Miranda said as the guys walked up to them.
" I'm gonna go change or something." Lizzie went into the tent and zipped up the door.
" What's going on with you three?" Gordo asked.
" Nothing." Matt said.
" What makes you think we're up to something?" Miranda asked.
" Spill." Gordo demanded.
" We were just thinking you and Lizzie.." Miranda started.
" Never mind." Gordo said.
" Oh, come on, Gordo, you like her." Matt said. Lanny and Miranda nodded.
" No I don't. You guys are lke mental... I should know, too..." Gordo started.
" Gordo, seriously, just ask her out or something before we tell her..." Miranda warned.
" You wouldn't." Gordo said. " Would you?"
" Can you take that chance?" Miranda asked.
" What chance?" Lizzie asked from behind.
" Gordo's writing a poem and he wanted to see if we could help him come up with a line.." Miranda lied.
" Really?" Lizzie asked. " What's it about?"
" Well, you know, usual poetry stuff." Gordo lied.
Lizzie gave him a confused look. " Ok."
" Again, I say can you take that chance." Miranda whispered.
' Maybe I should write a poem for Lizzie,' Gordo thought looking at the sky.
He grabbed a little notebook and a pencil.
For Lizzie
We've always been friends
But I want to be more
I wanna tell you
But I can't lose my best friend
I feel I have to tell you
Can I take that chance?
" Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." Gordo muttered. He wadded up the paper and threw it into the fire.
" I'm just gonna stay around here." Lizzie told Miranda, Matt and Lanny.
" Ok. Bye." Miranda called as they walked away.
Lizzie walked to where the fire had been. She saw a piece of paper wadded up near there and picked it up.
She sat down on a log and read it.
" Hey, Lizzie. What're you reading?" Gordo asked from behind. He saw the paper more closely. " Oh. I gotta go.. do something. Bye!"
" I found this. I.. You wrote this for me?" Lizzie asked.
" No! I wrote that for.. Lanny. See, Lanny likes you and he asked Matt to ask me to write a poem for you or something like that." Gordo lied.
" Oh. I thought.." Lizzie started disappointed.
" Yeah. I know. But.." Gordo started. " Never mind."
" I'm, I'm gonna go find the others." Lizie mumbled blushing.
" Gordo! Are you stupid?" Miranda shouted after Lizzie walked away with Lanny and Matt.
" What'd I do this time?" Gordo asked.
" Where should I start? Oh, I know, the fact that you lied to Lizzie.." Miranda said.
" Not like its the first time." Gordo mumbled.
" Ugh! Sometimes you can act so, so... like a guy!" Miranda shouted.
" Thanks. I am a guy." Gordo said.
" That is not a good thing. Tell Lizzie the truth. Tell her that you really wrote that poem for her..." Miranda started.
" Actually I never said I didn't write it." Gordo cut in.
" Whatever, tell her that it's from you or whatever..." Miranda insisted.
" Right and how do I do that? Oh, hey Lizzie, I lied. That poem really was from me to you. I like you a lot... She'd think I was mental." Gordo said.
" Maybe not." Lizzie said from behind. " She might say that she feels the same way and was too scared to tell you. And she'd tell you that she loved the poem."
Miranda walked away.
" Really?" Gordo asked. Lizzie nodded. " Well, then, what would she say to a dinner and a movie?"
Lizzie thought for a minute. " She'd say, I thought you'd never ask. And then she'd be hoping for a kiss.."
" Well, if that's what she'd want.." Gordo leaned over and they kissed.
" Wow. Aaron Carter has nothing on you." Lizzie whispered.
" Thanks, I think." Gordo said.
Lizzie smiled. " Trust me, it's a good thing."
The End!!!
