*Sry about Ch. 1's little typo!! I promise there won't be any this time!*
"Wh-What... What are you talking about?" Gordo stuttered. Miranda, rolling her eyes, spit out, "Well, DO YOU? Yes or no?" Lizzie began to blush. "Miranda, just... leave him alone." "Noooo!" Miranda blurted out. "Answer me Gordo." In a whisper, he said, "Yes." Lizzie bit her lip as a smile crossed her face. "Really, you do?" All he could do was nod. "It was soooo obvious!" said Miranda, walking to the door. "Come on. We can't keep Tyler waiting forever." Lizzie grabbed her friends arm. "Wait." "What now?" Miranda asked as Gordo stood up. Lizzie walked over to Gordo, put her hands on his shoulders, and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Gordo's face turned red furiously. "Gordo, I guess, if you wanted, we could give... US... a try." Miranda barged in between the two of them. "Aww! This is SO cute!" No one spoke for a minute; Gordo staring at Lizzie, Lizzie smiling at Gordo, and Miranda, in the middle of it, with hands-on-hips. Finally Gordo managed to say, "I'd like that."
After the three of them returned downstairs, Lizzie said, "Gordo, why don't you come with us? We're just going to The Digital Bean." Gordo immediately accepted the invitation, and they were all on their way. On the walk there, Lizzie & Gordo were discussing a new movie that was out that they both wanted to see, while Miranda & Tyler caught up. "So," Tyler began. "Are you and Gordo, like, together?" Miranda burst out laughing. "Are you kidding?! Gordo? And ME? No way!" Tyler didn't seem to understand why it was so funny, and asked, "Oh, well, is Lizzie?" Miranda stopped laughing. "Umm..." Tyler interrupted, "Because I like her. I really like her." "I see... Well, Ty, that's something you'll have to talk to Lizzie about."
When they got to their destination, The Digital Bean, they began looking for a table, bobbing their heads to the music as they went. As they were about to sit down at the last free table, someone rushed over and immediately claimed the table. "Over here, honey," said a familiar voice. Kate. "Oh, HI. I didn't see you there; but then, I'm sure you get that a lot." Making a groaning noise, Lizzie turned around, about to walk away, when Ethan appeared. "Hi Lizzie!" he said in a friendly voice. "What's up?" Twirling her hair, she answered, "Oh, nothing Ethan. How about you?" "Oh, nothin, nothin. I'm just here for lunch with Kate." He then lowered the volume of his voice and finished, "Our parents are friends, and they have this crazy idea that her and I should get together!" Laughing, she said, "That is crazy!" She then heard an "AHEMM" from behind her. She turned around. "Well, Lizzie? Aren't you going to introduce me?" Kate said in her snotty tone. "Oh, right. This is my friend Tyler. He's Mirandas cousin. He is staying with her for the summer. Tyler, this is my, uh, FRIEND, Kate." "Hiii there, Tyler. I'm not REALLY her friend... just a classmate." She said matter-of-factly. "Mm hmm," Tyler said, obviously not falling for the brat. "We should probably steal that now-empty seat, guys. I'm starving!" Miranda said, dashing for the table. "Seeya guys," Ethan shouted.
While eating, Gordo and Miranda were talking about which of the Telletubbies they would like to be. "I want to be Tinky-Winky, because he's the oldest, so he makes all the rules." Gordo said. But Miranda argued, "GORDO, everyone knows that Tinky-Winky is GAY! I mean, come on. He's purple, he has a triangle on his head, and he carries a purse!"
Meanwhile...
"Lizzie, I wanted to ask you... Is there anything going on between you and, uh, HIM?" Tyler asked, nodding towards Gordo, who wasn't paying attention at all. Lizzie paused. "Umm, Tyler, can I get back to you on that?" He looked up at her. "I really like you." Lizzie weakened. "Aww, I really like you, too. It's just that... Gordo and I have been friends for, like, EVER. And we just need to... work a couple things out." She was hoping that he could understand. "So, are you turning me down?" Lizzie raised her eyebrow. "Turning you down?" "Duh, Lizzie. I just asked you out." Her mouth dropped. "Tyyyyler. I really like you. But I'm not sure if I want a boyfriend right now. Can I get back to you in a day or two?" Tyler, upset but understanding, agreed.
"Wow, I'm stuffed!" Miranda said abruptly. "Tyler we better get going. Mom wants to do some kind of family bonding thing in..." she paused and checked her neon green watch, "15 minutes." The two of them stood up. "Well, Lizzie, it was really, REALLY great to finally meet you." Tyler said softly. "You too," Lizzie being a little more casual, keeping in mind the fact that Gordo was watching and listening. "So I guess I'll... see you tomorrow?" "Alrighty." Miranda grabbed Tyler and they began walking towards the door. "Later!" Gordo called to them. Then he turned back around to Lizzie. "Umm." Lizzie had an expectant look on her face, and asked, "Yes?" Gordo, swallowing his pride, asked, "You wanna go down to the stables?" Lizzie smiled the biggest smile Gordo had seen in awhile. "The stables!? We haven't been there together since the third grade! Let's go!" The two of them got up and left the restaurant, both of them obviously anxious to see what awaited them.
R&R!
"Wh-What... What are you talking about?" Gordo stuttered. Miranda, rolling her eyes, spit out, "Well, DO YOU? Yes or no?" Lizzie began to blush. "Miranda, just... leave him alone." "Noooo!" Miranda blurted out. "Answer me Gordo." In a whisper, he said, "Yes." Lizzie bit her lip as a smile crossed her face. "Really, you do?" All he could do was nod.
