couple of days to update, I was really busy. And thank you again to the
reviewers. I love to hear from you people! Okay now you may read.
Come Swing With Me
Lizzie came back from her date with Ethan so happy. Everything was perfect. She walked to the front of her house. The front door was locked. Lizzie remembered where her parents kept the spare key in the backyard she headed toward the backyard.
She arrived, tripped and fell on something.
"Ow!" it screamed.
Lizzie screamed and jumped away.
"Wait, Lizzie! Don't go. It's me, Gordo!"
"Oh", she sighed a sign of relief, "I thought that you were some type of burglar. Hey wait, why are you in my backyard?"
"I was waiting for you", Gordo replied.
"Really? Why?"
"Miranda said you wanted to talk? I don't know she said to stay here and wait until you came back from wherever you were."
"Really", replied Lizzie. She knew Miranda was trying to get them to talk again. And she was doing it by using a silly advice column answer.
"Yeah", Lizzie said, "I guess I did. I forgot. Um, you wanna sit. The house's locked and now I forget where the spare key is."
"Isn't it in your garage?" replied Gordo.
"Oh yeah." Lizzie looked up at the sky, "But it's nice out. Let's sit on the porch swing."
They two sat in silence. Both didn't know what to say.
"So", said Gordo trying to break the silence, "What did you want to talk about?"
"I forgot", replied Lizzie. She didn't know what to say. "So um, what do you want to talk about?"
"I really don't have a clue", replied Gordo. He looked around the familiar backyard. The McGuire house had held so many childhood memories.
There was an awkward silence. "Hey", said Gordo putting an end to the pause, "remember that time when we were little and me, you, Miranda, and Kate actually broke this swing."
"Yea", remembered Lizzie, "Of course we were smaller, this swing can just about fit the two people."
"Didn't we think that we could fly to the moon if we swung high enough?"
"Yea", said Lizzie, "we were going to go to the moon and meet the moon people."
"But that didn't really work", replied Gordo, "And we swung too high and broke the swing."
"Yea", replied Lizzie, "that was fun. But I remembered getting really scared."
"Yea", said Gordo as he shrugged, "you were holding my hand the entire time."
Lizzie glanced over at Gordo. She missed talking to him. "Gordo?" asked Lizzie.
"Yeah?" he replied.
"Do you think that we're drifting apart?"
"What makes you think that?"
"Well", began Lizzie, "It sorta seems like you've been avoiding me lately."
"Oh", replied Gordo.
"Gordo?" asked Lizzie, as she looked him in the eyes.
"Yes?"
"Can you promise me something?" she asked.
"Yea", he replied not sure of what she was going to say.
"Will you promise me that I'll never lose you?"
"Lose you?" asked Gordo with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Like as a friend," replied Lizzie, "I've missed you the past couple of weeks. I never want that to happen to us again."
He moved a little closer to Lizzie. She couldn't have looked more beautiful. The way her long, blonde hair looked. Her eyes looked like two jewels. He couldn't resist how nice she smelled.
He took a deep breath and ignored whatever feelings he had for her at the moment.
He took her hand, "Neither do I," he replied.
She hugged him. She felt so comfortable in the embrace. Gordo took a whiff of her perfume. His stomach felt like it was doing flips. He hated this.
They pulled away. They looked into each other's eyes. "Lizzie", said Gordo, "can you promise me something."
"Of course", said Lizzie.
"Never break my heart again."
A small frown came to her face. She had sad puppy dog eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"I know", replied Gordo, "It was Ethan's fault."
"It sorta was", said Lizzie. She bit her lip.
"So how's your relationship?" he asked.
"Well we've only been on one date", replied Lizzie.
"Uh hunh", said Gordo, "How was the date?"
Lizzie raised her eyebrows, "What's the sudden interest for?" she asked.
"Come on", said Gordo, "You and Miranda tell eachother EVERYTHING. And we're just as good as friends and you never tell me squat."
Lizzie let out a little laugh. "Okay", she said, "sorry."
"So?" asked Gordo acting as interested as Miranda would be.
"It was great", she replied and flipped her hair, "I mean the guy looks so dumb but he's actually isn't once you talk to him in human conversation."
"Oh," said Gordo, you could hear the disappointment in his voice.
Lizzie's mom opened the door. "Lizzie", said her mom, "it's time to come inside."
"Okay", said Lizzie, "Bye Gordo. Thanks for understanding."
Gordo slowly got up. "Bye", he replied. He walked away. He wanted his feelings to just disappear.
It's not like he had a chance with her anymore. "I blew it", he muttered as he walked away from the McGuire's house, "I blew it big time."

Lizzie walked upstairs to her room and plopped on the bed. She felt better now. She finally had her Gordo back. She picked up the phone to call Miranda.
"Hello?" asked Miranda from the other end of the line.
"Hi", said Lizzie, "it's Lizzie."
"Lizzie! How'd your talk with Gordo go?"
"You never told me about it."
"I know because if I told you, you might not have done it."
"I guess that's true."
"Well, what happened?"
"We had a nice conversation and after a little while made up."
"So", said Miranda, "How was your date with Ethan?"
Lizzie replied, "Oh, it was great. First we hit the Digital Bean and then we went to the park and fed the pigeons."
"Ethan loves pigeons."
"Sure does, you wouldn't believe all the peanuts we wasted on them."
"Well", said Miranda, "I'm glad you and Gordo are friends again."
"Yea, me too."
