~Who doesn't own Lizzie McGuire? I don't! Got that?!?!? So don't sue me! PS I'm not doing this 4 money. ~

"You want to know why I ran away don't you?" Miranda could read Lizzie's mind.

"Yeah" Lizzie replied truthfully.

"Well it all started in about 10th grade. I was getting depressed. Nothing could console me; it was like no one cared about me anymore!"

"But Gordo and I."Lizzie interrupted.

"I know, I know, Gordo and you were always their for me, and I knew that, it was just whenever I left you two to go home at the end of the day, there was a huge hole inside of me. I was confident that if I ran away from everyone I knew I could just change my ways and everyone would know me as a quiet, caring person instead of the loud, unhappy person I really was. So I ran away with only $75 under my belt."

Lizzie had a terrified look on her face. She never knew that her best friend had been so unhappy.

"Then I met Frank. Ahhh. yes Frank." Miranda sighed.

"Your kids dad?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah. Believe it or not, we were married. You see, in Las Vegas (not to far from where we lived) had all these drive through chapels where you say your vows in front of a minister. And he gives you a certificate and it only takes about 10 minutes." Miranda said dreamily.

It made Lizzie want to giggle when she thought about her expensive wedding to Gordo and then Miranda's 10 minute drive through wedding.

"Well, we had Pierre, and Paris after we got married and Jacquelyn well; she was only 7 months old when I found her on the streets abandoned. I know I was struggling, but I couldn't just leave her there so I took her after consulting the police of course. Then Frank left me for some other woman and that broke my heart all over again. And then you and Gordo came three days later and I was saved!"

"Gosh Miranda I never thought your life was like that." Lizzie said.

"Well, tell me about you and Gordo!" Miranda alleged.

"Ok, we had been dating since we got graduated college. So one night Gordo asked me out for Friday at this really fancy restaurant. I had suspecting that he would ask me anytime because we had been in love since we were in 10th grade. Well, we ate dinner then he ordered us a cake. When it came out it had the most beautiful ring on it and the words "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" on it. It was so romantic. Of course I said yes and we were married last week." Lizzie said excitedly.

"That's great!" Miranda said enthusiastically.

"But I have to tell you something. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I didn't think that you would let me come home with you." Miranda apologetically said. "Well?" Lizzie prompted.

"I just have to tell you that.
