Disclaimer: If I owned Lizzie McGuire, you wouldn't be seeing my ideas on here...you'll see them on the TV screen!!

A/N: They are all in their senior year of high school. It's the last semester. Matt's a freshman at the high school also. I know there is no possible way that can happen, but humor me.. Miranda has moved farther away, but still goes to the same school.



Lizzie yawned. She hated getting up for school in the morning. It's the same routine every morning.wash hair...get dressed...fight with Matt...eat breakfast...leave for school. It gets very tiresome very fast. "At least this is my last year to be in school. But I'll admit - I'll miss it later," she thought to herself. "Or maybe not..." After she took a quick shower, she slipped on her favorite outfit...baby blue peasant shirt with flared sleeves and a pair of flared navy pants. She ran down the stairs quickly, but on the way down, she skipped a step and fell. She heard the bone pop and felt immediate pain. She started screaming.

"OOWW!! Mom...come help me!!" she cried. She sat on the floor and cradled her ankle in her hands. She looked at her feet and saw that it was turning slightly purple.

Jo came running from the kitchen with her oven mitts still on. "Lizzie, honey, what's wrong?!" She took one look at the ankle and called for Sam. "Sam, I'm gonna stay home with Lizzie and take her to the emergency room. Her ankle is broken. You take Matt to school today." He knodded and walked into the kitchen to tell Matt the plan. "Lizzie," Jo said, "let's get you to the car." Sam came back, cradled her, and carried her to the black minivan.

(You can guess what happened at the doctors so I don't have to put it here. For those who don't know...x rays, cast, the whole works...)

The next day, Lizzie sat in the bed with her foot propped up on some pillows. Her parents had moved the TV into her room since she is to stay home for a couple days. At the moment, she wasn't watching the TV - she was just relaxing hearing the spring rain fall up against her window. Then she heard the bedroom door open. She looked at it to find her boyfriend standing there with a single pink rose. He reached out and gave it to her. "How is my little drama queen?" Gordo asked as he gave her a small kiss.

She just laughed and replied, "In pain. How was school today? I heard Miranda's back from the surgery on her back. I wish I could see how she is feeling."

"Yep... I guess her mom thought she needed more clothes and she went and bought a whole new wardrobe. My gosh - I'm surprised she doesn't have a closet half the size of her house with all the clothes she has." He took a glance at Lizzie's closet, which could hardly be closed since there were so many clothes. "Or you for that matter." She slapped him playfully.

"By the way, Miranda said she was coming over to see how you feel and to tell you something important. She wouldn't tell me what it was. She just said that it was a girl's business and I'll have to find out through you," Gordo explained to her. Lizzie just laughed. "Well, that's Miranda for you."

"Well," he said. "I'd better be going. The rain is starting to come down harder and you know how I hate to drive on wet roads." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and left. Soon afterwards, Lizzie fell asleep.

A couple of hours later, she was awakened by her phone ringing. It was Gordo. He sounded as though he was out of breath. "Lizzie!" he said. "What is it Gordo? What happened? Are you okay?" she asked worriedly. "Yeah - I'm fine...but it's Miranda..." Lizzie gasped. "Oh my gosh - what happened?!" Gordo began the story. "Miranda was coming to see you. She was about 5 miles away from your house when a kid on a bike crossed really quick. She swerved and fell into a ditch...upside down. Glass from the window has cut her up really bad and has punctured some things. They aren't sure of what right now, but they'll find out soon. Lizzie - I'm so sorry. I'm gonna come and pick you up - I'm sure your mom and dad won't mind right now." Lizzie was so shocked she couldn't say anything. All she did was hang up the phone.

After she got off the phone with Gordo, she called her mom (who was at the grocery store) to tell her what was going on. Soon, Gordo was there and they left.

At the hospital, Lizzie hobbled to Miranda's room as fast as she could go on her crutches. When she opened the door, she immediately thought she had the wrong room because she couldn't even recognize her own friend's face. Miranda's beautiful dark skin was ruined with scratches and bruises. And over the deep gash above her eyebrow was stitches. She turned around and buried her face in Gordo's chest. Then, the doctor walked in and woke Miranda up. "Ms. Sanchez, I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that no major organs were permanently damaged."

Miranda was crying as though she already knew what the bad news is. The doctor then said, "The bad news is...is that you lost the baby."
