Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie McGuire, Matt McGuire, Lanny, David Gordon, or Miranda Sanchez. I do own Lily Wellington, Charlie Fetters, and Donald Langton. Please do not use them in any of your stories. Please review! P.S. I'm not "holding chapters hostage for reviews" anymore because I realize that if your story is good, then people will review without you asking them to! Well, here is Chapter 5, hopefully things will really start developing. Anyway, ENJOY!

"RING! RING! RING!"

"Ahhhhh…What do you want?" Gordo moaned as he picked up the phone the next morning.

"Gordo! It's 10:30! Get up!" replied Elizabeth.

"Okay, one sec!" Gordo set down the phone on his bedside table, snuggled back underr the blankets, and closed his eyes.

"Gordo? Gordo! I know you can hear me! Gordo, wake up!" Elizabeth was yelling into the receiver of Miranda's bright blue phone.

Gordo gave up. This girl just won't give up! We've only been talking again for less than 24 hours and she's already giving me wake up calls? "Okay, I'm back. Good morning Lizzie… I can call you that, right? I've noticed nobody else does."

Elizabeth felt a warm blush creeping up her cheeks. "No, t-that's okay…But why are you still asleep? You never sleep in!"

Well, what could he say? It was true he never slept in. Except when he was up all night thinking about…stuff. Gordo got out of his bed and kicked at the blankets bundled around his feet. He stretched and looked around his hotel room. How was he supposed to respond?

"Umm…I couldn't fall asleep last night. I had a lot on my mind."

"Really? So did I. But I just gave up and got out of bed…Anyway, Miranda and I were wondering if you wanted to go miniature golfing with us at Mystery Mountain? Like old times, ya know?" Elizabeth said slowly, remembering the time she fell in the waterfall and Gordo jumped in after her…that was so funny. She started giggling.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Gordo asked.

"I was just thinking of thast time in high school I fell down the waterfall when reaching for my ball. You jumped in because you thought I was going to drown. But I had to save you!" Elizabeth laughed.

Gordo smiled "Well, anything for my girl…I mean my great pal." What was that? Careful there Gordon! "Umm…anyway, that sounds fine. Can I talk to Miranda?" Now he was blushing.

"Sure, bye. Miranda, phones for you!" Did he say "my girl"? He did! It must have just slipped. Maybe he thought he was talking to Charlie…Or maybe not…Elizabeth said to herself as she passed the phone to Miranda and went to the kitchen for a yogurt.

"Miranda? Help. I just called Lizzie 'my girl'! It just slipped!" Gordo was freaking out.

"Hey Gordo? Chill, will you? First of all it probably made her day, second I really doubt Carlotte would care." Miranda said with a smile.

"Okay, I guess. But I can't keep saying things like that."

"Yea, you're right, but this will be over soon. Just bite your tongue until then."

"I'll try. Bye."

"Bye."

"Hey, Miranda? I almost forgot! What time should I meet you at the mini golf place?"

"Noon? And be sure to bring Charlie, okay?"

"Fine. See you then, Miranda!"
