Kate needed to do something serious, and fast. She was crying on the inside, wanting to be herself. She knew Lizzie felt confident and comfortable, but anyone would if they were pretty and popular. She had a secret weapon up her sleeve the whole time...waiting to pull the trigger. She gave Lizzie one last shot, and she blew it big time. Now her best friends would be torn apart...and she would be embarrassed big time when she got changed back. Time to have some fun...

"Gordo!"

"Hey Lizzie...why have you been ignoring us?"

"Sorry Gordo, I...I've been avoiding you."

"Why?"

"Well...I...I wanted..."

"You wanted what?"

"I wanted to do this..."

She leaned in and kissed Gordo...ewww this was the grossest moment of her entire life...thank God it would end up in them breaking up because otherwise she would die!

"I wanted to do that. I like you alot Gordo, I've liked you for soo long. I was wondering if you'd go out with me."

"You do?"

"Yes!"

"Me too...but isn't the GUY sposed to ask? Will you date me Lizzie?"

"Sure! Gotta go...I'll cya around!"

Lizzie swiveled around and smirked an evil grin, knowing he and Lizzie would feel like total fools. ======

((I am lonely. Today I haven't had a single, real conversation with some one who cares about me. Ethan just sits and nods...sure. It's cool to talk to him, but he doesn't understand. Claire is not a bad person...but not a good one. She never does anything for herself. And Kate looks so frustrated...it's nice having power...but...)))

Lizzie's thoughts were interrupted by Miranda and Gordo, who thought they were talking to Kate.

Miranda: "Kate, What have you done to Lizzie? Gordo: "Yea Kate...it's like you two became secret agents or something."

It was Lizzie's real friends! Lizzie rushed up to them and gave them a HUGE hug, right in the middle of the hallway!

Miranda: "WHAT are you DOING, Kate?!"

Lizzie: "Kate?"

Miranda: "Yea Kate why are you hugging us? Not that that's a problem or anything..."

Lizzie: "O yea...Kate. Um...well...I have something to tell you guys."

Miranda: "What could YOU possibly want to tell us?"

Gordo: "I'm intrigued..."

Lizzie: "Ok...remember that time Lizzie switched places with her brother Matt?"

Gordo: "Hah, that WAS a funny story..."

Miranda: "FUNNY because Lizzie would NEVER tell Kate...how would you know?"

Lizzie: "That's what I'm trying to say here! Listen, this is really weird. It all started earlier today when we were walking to Spanish! Remember me falling?"

Miranda: "I remember LIZZIE falling, not you Kate."

Lizzie: "Ok let me finish. Well I fell and when I opened my eyes I was standing around Claire!"

Miranda (confused) : "Wait...what are you getting at?"

Lizzie: "I'm not Kate! It's me! Lizzie."

Gordo: "That is physically impossible..."

Lizzie: "You told me that this morning when I was talking about my dreams!"

Miranda: "How could she know that Gordo?"

Gordo: "What am I supposed to do about it? Science has been proved wrong! Now I know nothing! My whole world has come crash..."

Lizzie (frustrated): "Gordo! Help me here."

Miranda: "You've done a pretty good job playing Kate. I can't believe you have a side like that...it's kinda.... scary."

Lizzie: "Yea I know. Now last time, I only had one night with Matt, so I think I'll switch back tonight."

Gordo (boggled): "If Science proves itself wrong TWICE..."

L+M: "GORDO!"

Gordo: "Sorry, I just can't believe all those professors are wrong, and it didn't happen to me, noo, it had to happen to you Lizzie, the person who cares NOTHING about science! It's a cruel, unfair world."

Lizzie: "Yea you're right, I hate Biology."

Gordo: "Grr!"

Miranda: "So should we just let you be Kate for a day?"

Lizzie: "I don't know. I already told Kate I didn't want to tell people about it...but now I'm not sure. I'm kind of liking being tall. It's so, so invigorating! Whoa! *Lizzie stumbles*

Gordo: "You really are Lizzie. You...are Lizzie. Not the other Lizzie..you..."

Miranda: "THAT'S the proof you needed?"

Gordo: "Not my fault. Wow. You are Lizzie..."

(((All that was just a joke? A cruel joke? Why couldn't she have been Lizzie in those two seconds that changed my life...now I'm left alone again. Again with my feelings.) ===================================================
