Disclaimer: Still don't own LM or the featured song "Dreaming of You" by the late Selena.

A/N: I don't really know about all of you guys and your graduation dances (if you even had them), but I'm going to base this on my graduation dance, for the most part. Also, a couple of the songs will be a couple years old (like Selena's). There is also a Backstreet Boys song (Larger than Life) that I am using because it's again, something from my graduation dance and I just want to include it. I figure it's okay though, because DJ's play old songs. Thoughts=Single quotations.

Chapter 9: Dreaming of You.

Gordo and Lizzie walked into the school gym to find a DJ playing some song in the corner and almost the entire 8th grade dancing in the middle of the gym. Considering the couple didn't have that many friends they wanted to talk with, they found a table and set their things down. Lizzie took off her shoes because she didn't want to be dancing in them all night. The aftermath would not be pretty. She also opened up her small purse and took out her camera in case any great picture opportunities presented themselves. She had no place to put the camera, so she placed it right under the top of her dress (A/N: Yes, at my graduation dance, my camera was inside my dress thank you very much.)

"Wanna get out there and dance?" Gordo asked her.

"Sure." Lizzie replied as they walked out towards the front. Lizzie spotted Kate and Parker on a staircase like structure with smoke emitting from it. They were dancing. 'Wow. Hillridge really went all out on this dance.' Lizzie thought.

Gordo and Lizzie started dancing just as another song started. It was the Backstreet Boys with "Larger Than Life" Just then, Ethan and Danny positioned themselves directly in front of the DJ's table. Then, as they had done at every dance that year, they performed the routine that they had made up for this song. The whole grade stopped dancing and watched them. It was a tradition, one they wouldn't see any longer. Lizzie took out her camera and took a picture of the two as they went down on their knees towards the end. (A/N: All right, so we had 5 guys do that dance, but same thing.) It was sort of sentimental and Lizzie just wanted to keep some memory of it. 'I'd prefer more pictures of Gordo and myself tonight, but this necessary' She thought.

Even Gordo was enjoying Ethan and Danny dancing around like a boy band. 'I've never really watched them do this before, but they aren't half bad.' Gordo had to give Ethan and Danny some credit on their dancing skills.
The song ended and a slow one started it. It was one of Lizzie's favorites, "Dreaming Of You" by Selena. She couldn't wait to dance it with Gordo for the first time. It was a perfect song for their first slow dance as a couple.
~Late at night, when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I wish on a star

That somewhere you are

Thinking of me, too

'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight

'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me, and I

Wonder if you know I'm there

If you looked in my eyes

Would you see what's inside?

Would you even care?~

'Sounds like the story of my life. I could have written this about Lizzie.' Gordo thought as he held Lizzie closer to his body. He had his arms wrapped around her waist and her arms were wrapped around his neck. As they got closer, she placed her head on his shoulder. (A/N: I'm making time pass-so the whole song is not included)

~Late at night, when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I still can't believe

That you came up to me

And said, 'I love you'

I love you, too

Now, I'm dreaming with you tonight

'Til tomorrow and for all of my life

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room, dreaming with you endlessly

Dreaming with you tonight

(With you tonight)

'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

(Rather be)

Than here in my room, dreaming with you endlessly

(I'll be dreaming)~

"OK, this is just eerie. I'm standing here with the girl I've dreamed about for so long, dancing with her, and she is not just my best friend anymore, she is my girlfriend. And now, this perfect song plays. It's just too good to be true. Like Lizzie. I still can't even fathom the fact that these past couple of days have happened. It's amazing. I love holding her more than anything, well, kissing her earlier wasn't too bad. But, holding her is heaven. I can't let her go. Not now.' He thought as the song ended and another slow song started.

It was coming close to the end of the dance and the DJ announced that everyone should huddle into the center of the gym for the last song.

"Come one you guys! Get close to each other!" He shouted.

Lizzie bumped into someone. It was Kate. 'Great." She thought.

"Hi, Lizzie! So, are you here with anyone?"

"Well, Gordo and I are kinda..."

"Finally," Kate said. "I told you this would happen. Well, congratulations."

Lizzie was stunned. Kate had just given her a compliment and then Kate did something even more surprising, she hugged Lizzie. They both knew why, and they both knew it wouldn't again, well, maybe in four years when they were graduating again.

The last slow song started then and Kate found Ethan and Lizzie turned around to Gordo who was a little confused.

"Did you know I liked you ahead of time?"

"Kate told me at the murder mystery dinner that you liked me, but it took me a while to actually not only believe her, but realize that I liked you too. She really helped me realize my feelings. Kinda weird."

"Yeah, definitely weird."

The end of the song was approaching and the end of the last dance of their junior high careers. Suddenly, from up above thousands of balloons fell on top of everyone.

Lizzie let go of Gordo and grabbed a white one. She placed her hands back around his neck and he took the opportunity given to him. He pulled her in closer and kissed her passionately. It was deeper than their first and definitely longer. They didn't even care that people were watching them.

'I love her. More than anything.' Gordo thought. 'But when to tell her?'

'Wow. I never thought Gordo would be such a good kisser. I've never felt this way about anyone. Could it be?'

The two parted their lips and stood staring at each other intently for a minute before moving or speaking.

Gordo and Lizzie went to their things and made their way to the Gordon's car.

A/N: So what do you think of that graduation dance? Honestly, that is pretty much my dance, only I didn't have a boyfriend. But everyone that fought throughout the year made up, there were balloons, there was basically everything I wrote. Although, "Dreaming of You" may not have been played. Couldn't tell you that one. Should I continue? Because I'm not really sure.
