Chapter 2; Getting ready to go

After school Gordo and Miranda went to Lizzie's house. They hurried upstairs to her room.

"I think we should go find that kid, I mean, kids." Miranda said.

"Great idea Miranda, but we need some help." Lizzie explained.

"But remember, do not choose Kate or any of her friends." Miranda warned.

"Of course not. We don't want to be waiting for her when she looses her shoe or breaks a nail." Gordo said. They laughed but stopped and got back to work.

"Anyway, Here's a map I drew while you were eating cookies." Miranda and Lizzie looked at each other for a second. "Here is the school, we turn right on Hillside and circle around the park. Now when we reach the second street of the neighborhood on Hillside Ave., we go straight down the street to the road at the end." Gordo continued.

"Isn't that the forest that leads to the mountains?"

"Yes, let's get ready and packed."

At lunch in school the next day kids came to their table and signed in to help.

"Thank you all, we will call the names of the ones we have chosen later." Miranda called. Kate and her friends walked up to the table to sign in.

"What are you doing?" Miranda asked.

"Signing in, at least it is ok with the principal." They looked back at the table behind them to find the principal. Lizzie handed her the pen and sighed.

"This won't be as planned." Gordo whispered to Lizzie.

"Ok, Ethan Craft, Larry Tougman, Kate Sanders, and us of course. You will be teaming with somebody as your buddy; you will be staying with him or her until the end of our trip. Larry Tougman and Kate Sanders." Kate was in her shocked look. "Ethan craft." Miranda looked at Lizzie, Lizzie nodded. "With me. And David Gordon with Lizzie McGuire." She continued.

Animated Lizzie; Gordo's, all right, best friends as a team, not bad at all.

'This is good, but what if I have to tell her the truth? She will be mad at me for keeping it in.' Gordo thought.
